◎The snake egg hatched.◎
Today was a sunny day, and Ye Zhizhi was placing the eggs in a nest specially built under an ancient tree. The mottled light and shadow coming through the branches and leaves intertwined with it, swaying on the snake eggs.
At that time, she leaned on the wolf mother, enjoying the cool breeze, and occasionally paying attention to the sky to prevent any foreign flying animals from stealing the eggs.
The four little wolf cubs were full of energy. They played and fought around Ye Zhizhi and Silver Wolf, howling and biting.
The little silver wolf cub easily pounced on and pinned down the three little wolf cubs, and its chubby little body rolled back and forth on the ground from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but be attracted and a smile appeared on his face. The little silver wolf cub's posture really had the style of its wolf grandfather. When he was a child, Yin Yi also beat his companions in the same way.
I have to say that this gene is really powerful.
When the wolves are not out hunting, they basically stay in and outside the cave. There is a large space for them to rest. Whether they are chasing and playing, or taking a walk and basking in the sun, it is very comfortable.
When Ye Zhizhi was around, the wolves loved to stay around her, just lying there and staring at her, not moving or getting bored all day long.
At this time, Yin Yi was lying on a high rock not far away to bask in the sun. He closed his eyes and swung his tail from time to time.
Amidst the noise of fighting and quarreling, there was a sudden snapping sound.
The sound was so subtle that Ye Zhizhi initially thought it was an illusion. She sat up straight and listened carefully, and soon she heard the clicking sound again.
Now not only Ye Zhizhi, but even Silver Wolf turned his head to look over.
Ye Zhizhi took two or three steps closer and saw that there was a crack on two of the snake eggs, while the other egg was motionless.
Ye Zhizhi observed carefully. She pricked up her ears and listened attentively. The little snake in the egg must have been tired, and there was no movement for a long time.
The little wolf cubs saw Ye Zhizhi squatting next to a rock nest, and they ran over and scratched around curiously, raising their two short paws, poking their heads out, and making whining sounds.
Ye Zhizhi gathered the wolf cubs to his side to prevent them from digging in the snake's den.
She looked at the snake eggs that had grown much bigger and wondered if there were too many predators around and the snake was afraid to move.
So she asked the wolves to move away.
The wolves retreated a little further away, but they still looked over here. They were very curious. In all their years of life, they had never seen a baby snake hatch.
Snakes are not on the wolves' diet. They will only attack if they pose a threat. Now there are only two or three baby snakes that have not yet hatched. They cannot pose a threat to them.
The wolves watched leisurely.
Maybe it really worked. After a while, Ye Zhizhi heard another crack on the snake egg in the middle, and the egg on the right, as if not willing to be outdone, soon cracked as well.
Ye Zhizhi immediately hissed loudly, and the two snakes that he had taken out from the cave, feeling very relieved, quickly crawled out.
"Hiss!" The baby snake is about to break out of its shell!
Ye Zhizhi was very excited, and Xiaohua's snake head immediately came over and leaned on Ye Zhizhi's right shoulder.
Da Mo also crawled over silently, with its snake head leaning loosely on the left.
When the snake approached, the little wolf cubs huddled together and hid their heads in Ye Zhizhi's arms, with their chubby little butts sticking out.
Ye Zhizhi didn't care about them at this moment. She clenched her fists unconsciously and didn't blink, for fear of missing any moment.
After the two snakes came out, the little snakes in the eggs became even more excited, making continuous clicking sounds. They moved almost at the same time, trying hard to break out of the shells.
Are these two eggs fighting for the position of snake boss? I don't know which egg will come out first.
The other wolves also stretched their necks and watched curiously. They had never seen snake eggs hatching, this was the first time they had seen it.
Just as they were all guessing which egg would come out first, the two eggs moved more and more. As cracks almost covered the entire surface of the eggs, under the watchful eyes of everyone, two snakes broke out of their shells and crawled out almost at the same time.
The young snake with two slender little fingers stretched out its round and small head, and its bright red and tender tongue instinctively moved in and out to capture the scent in the air.
So much breath...
The newly born snakes instinctively sought cover. They twisted their slender bodies together and rushed into the snake mother they were most familiar with. The giant snake's body easily concealed the little snakes' tracks. Ye Zhizhi could only sense their location from their breath as they had not yet learned to hide.
Xiaohua hissed, the snake's body squirmed for a moment, then the snake's tail rose up and handed it to Ye Zhizhi.
"Hiss~" On the curled up snake tail, two thin strips were hanging upside down helplessly, swaying back and forth.
Ye Zhizhi hurriedly raised her hand and took the baby snakes. The two baby snakes naturally coiled around her arms and stuck tightly to her. Indistinctly, it seemed as if four small bean-shaped snake eyes were spinning in circles.
Ye Zhizhi observed carefully and found that the two snakes looked very similar, and the patterns on their bodies also looked like small flowers, but one of them had a black circle on its tail. She didn't know if it was scared or for some other reason, but the baby snake was very quiet while wrapped around her hand.
She raised her hand and carefully touched the snake's head with her fingertips. It felt so fragile, only a few dozen centimeters long, so thin, and so different in size from its parents. It was really incredible.
hiss~
Xiaohua's huge snake head moved closer, and its tone was obviously very excited.
Ye Zhizhi did not ignore Xiaohua because of the young snake. He also raised his hand and touched Xiaohua. Only then did Xiaohua retreat with satisfaction.
The baby snakes hatched at almost the same speed, but her keen eyesight caught that the one with the black ring on its tail was a little later, so this was the second one, the male, and the eldest was the female...
"Aoaowu~" As Ye Zhizhi was observing, the wolf cub was digging at her feet, raising its front paws from time to time, and looking up with its round eyes.
Ye Zhizhi saw the curiosity and eagerness in their eyes, but she did not hand the baby snake to them. The cubs were playing around without restraint, and she was worried that the newborn baby snake would be played to death by the wolf cubs.
Seeing that the two baby snakes were fine, Ye Zhizhi went to see the egg that was still motionless.
She could clearly feel the strong aura that was slightly stronger than that of her elder sister and second brother, but the third child was very stable and stayed in the egg without any sign of breaking out of the shell.
Ye Zhizhi had no choice but to continue incubating the eggs in the original way.
Newly born snakes cannot eat complicated things, so Ye Zhizhi specially found some bird eggs. After eating the bird eggs, the originally wilted little snake quickly regained its vitality and climbed onto Ye Zhizhi's body like an explorer.
They didn't dare to climb down. Several lively wolf cubs were jumping around on the ground, trying to hook the little snake with their claws.
The young snakes finally entangled themselves in Ye Zhizhi's thick hair, resting domineeringly on each side, just like hair accessories.
These two young snakes are very smart and instinctively know that Ye Zhizhi is the safest place.
The wolves came over to take a look, then paid no more attention.
Ye Zhizhi didn't feel any impact, so she didn't pay attention to the two snakes above her head. She was thinking that she should give the cubs a name.
These are Xiaohua’s offspring, and her grandchildren.
Ye Zhizhi racked his brains and named Xiao Yinfei's cub Yinjiang. This litter of three babies was born to two brown wolves in the tribe, and was the offspring of Sanbai and Erzong. Ye Zhizhi also gave them names.
Xiaohua’s three baby snakes naturally took Xiaohua’s surname.
Ye Zhizhi discovered something. It seemed that the genes of Wolf Mom were stronger than those of Wolf Dad. From Yin Yi to Yin Jiang, they all had Wolf Mom's silver hair. Now they inherited two generations of very beautiful red eyes from Wolf Sister-in-law. She felt that the genes might be stable. Maybe all future generations will be like this. She seemed to be able to see many years into the future.
On the contrary, Silver Little Gray's offspring are very consistent and look very similar to himself. Silver Little Gray looks like Uncle Scar and Wolf Dad, but Silver Little Gray's cubs are still relatively young and have just started to gain experience, and have not found a partner yet.
The canyon cave was very lively with the addition of two new lives. The four little wolf cubs were very competitive and did not give up on digging out the baby snakes.
The two baby snakes hung motionless on Ye Zhizhi's hair. Their parents, Xiaohua and Damo, didn't care and followed Ye Zhizhi happily.
While teaching the animals new knowledge, Ye Zhizhi also takes them out for walks very frequently.
The mountains and forests outside the canyon are now extremely harmonious. The predators have tacitly agreed not to hunt each other, but instead to catch herbivores and alien animals.
Under the care of the adult wolves, the newly born wolf cubs and baby snakes followed them out for a walk and there was no danger.
What Ye Zhizhi was most concerned about was how the cubs got along with each other, so she let the two snakes play with the wolf cubs.
The temperaments of these two young snakes were very similar to Xiaohua's. After staying on Ye Zhizhi's head for a few days, they got used to the scent of various ferocious predators in the mountains and forests. After realizing that their situation was safe, they became lively and dared to crawl on the ground.
Although they were born not long ago, their parents are so powerful that they can already crawl very fast and run around.
The wolf cubs no longer followed Ye Zhizhi all the time. They chased after the two snakes and tried to poke them with their claws. However, the young snakes would specifically drill into narrow gaps, which resulted in the wolf cubs being unable to catch up with the young snakes many times.
Ye Zhizhi watched the wolf cubs and snake pups scurrying about excitedly each day. The wolf cubs' fur grew gray as they followed them everywhere, and the silver wolf cubs also turned gray. She felt that the wolf cubs treated the snake pups as new, moving toys, and the snake pups, in turn, treated the wolf cubs as toys...they were having a blast.
Ye Zhizhi was thinking about finding some new and interesting plants to study, and part of her attention was also on the snake egg that hadn't yet hatched. After so many days, it should be out soon, right? Its big brother and sister had already grown up.
Thinking this in her mind, Ye Zhizhi looked at it for a while, and seeing that there was no sign of the shell hatching, she focused on doing experiments and research. When she looked at the lonely snake egg again, she suddenly found something wrong.
The crystal white snake egg stood motionless on the grass nest, but Ye Zhizhi sensed that the life force in the egg had disappeared.
Could it be that it has become a dead egg?
Ye Zhizhi's expression changed drastically. She subconsciously picked up the egg. It felt unusually light in her hand, with only an empty shell left.
She looked carefully and found that a small gap had appeared under the eggshell at some point.
