The stream gurgled and the leaves danced.
Bai Chuan returned to his familiar nest again. Fortunately, even if he did not return for the past few days, his tree hole was not occupied by other small animals. Maybe it's because his aura is still lingering. This made him a little disappointed. Otherwise, he could have another meal.
Only then did he have the chance to open the interface.
[Name: Bai Chuan.]
[Race: King Cobra.]
[Lifespan: 8 years.]
[Points: 81.6%.]
[Ability: Endurance Lv 2 (Details), Snake Venom Lv 2, Energy Conservation Lv 1, Danger Perception Lv 1, Strength Lv 1, Flexibility Lv 1, Scales Lv 1, Swimming Lv 1…]
[Ability Structure Library: Rat, Deinagkistrodon, Brocade Snake, Frog, Goshawk.]
[Editable…]
"Only 81.6%?" Bai Chuan was surprised at first, but he soon reacted. "That's true. I started molting in the last two days. In that case, when I finish digesting the food in my stomach, it'll be almost 90. That means there's only one day left. I can't wait."
After muttering to himself, Bai Chuan sat up and began to rest. He had not rested well for many days because of the molting. Of course, he did not forget to activate his crazy digestion before he slept.
...
"Let's start strengthening!" A day later, Bai Chuan, who had finally accumulated enough points, eagerly opened the interface and went straight to the Ability Structure Library. Undoubtedly, the level 1 ability, Digestion Absorption, would only be compatible with the stomach.
As the model flew up, the ability returned to its original position.
Bai Chuan fell into a deep sleep again. His body secreted a strange opaque and sticky substance that covered him again. If anyone could look through this opaque viscous substance at this moment, they would definitely discover that there was something wrong with the passage of time on the snake. It was as if everything was crazily evolving in a certain direction.
Time slowly passed again. One day… two days… three days…
Five days later.
"Hungry! Hungry! I'm so hungry!!" When Bai Chuan woke up again, his first reaction was that he felt very hungry. It was as if all the cells in his body were shouting at him crazily: Hungry!
It was hard to imagine that a snake that had just eaten its fill not long ago would be so hungry in just a few days.
However, Bai Chuan couldn't care less at this moment. When he woke up, he did not even feel the changes in his body carefully before crawling out of the tree hole. For a moment, he did not even realize that his speed had become much faster.
Half an hour later, beside the stream.
After swallowing a water snake and feeling that his stomach was no longer burning, Bai Chuan shook his head comfortably. Only then did he realize that his speed seemed to have become much faster.
Previously, he was too hungry to notice this, but now that he had eaten and regained his rationality, he realized that his speed and physical strength had become much stronger. The fact that his body had become stronger meant that his body had become even larger. However, the increase in speed could not be because of the molting, right?
Normally speaking, the larger the body, the slower the speed. He opened the interface again and looked at the interface ability line.
...
[Abilities: Final Growth Lv 2 (Details), Snake Venom Lv 2, Energy Conservation Lv 1, Danger Perception Lv 1, Strength Lv 1, Flexibility Lv 1, Scales Lv 1, Swimming Lv 1, Digestion Absorption Lv 1, Agility Lv 1]
In an instant, Bai Chuan discovered that he had two more abilities. Didn't he only strengthen one ability? Normally, he should have an extra "Digestion Absorption Lv 1", but now he was given an additional Agility Lv 1.
Strange, strange. Bai Chuan, who couldn't figure it out, realized that his understanding of the interface was still too little. However, having another ability was also a good thing.
Bai Chuan had always put aside matters that he could not figure out. In any case, as long as he obtained enough time, there would be a day when he would understand. Instead of thinking so much, he might as well consider how to live longer.
...
In the middle of the night, Bai Chuan was woken up by a loud crashing sound. He raised his snake head and poked it out of the tree hole. He realized that the sky outside had already turned white like a waterfall. He could no longer hear the sounds of other animals. Even the most common frog cries in the past could not be heard at all. The water vapor in the air was extremely high. Bai Chuan even saw a few drops of water condensing on his scales.
"The rain in the middle of the night seems to have caused countless nocturnal animals to lose their food." Looking outside the tree hole, Bai Chuan let out a long sigh. At the same time, he felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he was nostalgic after molting and returned to the tree hole of this big tree. Otherwise, in this weather, if it was a cave like the one on the ground, it would have been washed away long ago.
After taking a few glances and using the water from the sky to replenish his moisture, Bai Chuan fell asleep again with the sound of the rain. The next day, when Bai Chuan woke up, he found that it was still raining. Moreover, the rain was still so heavy. It was basically no different from what he had seen last night.
Looking outside the cave, he realized that there was a lot of water accumulating below. The ground in the past was no longer the same as before. This gave him a bad feeling.
It won't keep raining, will it? Is this the coming of the rainy season? This was not a good thing, especially since he had activated his crazy digestion yesterday. Right now, his points had increased by 15%, which was 5% faster than before.
But was this important now? The most important thing now was that his stomach was almost empty. If the rain did not stop, it might be very difficult for him to find food in the next few days. At the very least, it was difficult to eat larger food. After all, he was only a terrestrial snake. Although he could swim, he could not dive or eat underwater.
He reckoned that he could only bite some small animals, such as frogs, and bring them back to the nest to eat.
"Sigh, if this rain doesn't stop, many lives will probably die." Bai Chuan sighed. Although his current situation was not good, he was already considered good in other aspects. If he was really in a desperate situation, he could enter a dormant state and reduce all life activities to survive the rainy season without eating or drinking.
But what about other creatures?
However, if this was really the endless rainy season, many animals would have to hide in their nests and not dare to go out. There were even some unlucky ones who began to face true despair when the quality of their nests was not good and collapsed.
Why was it so?
Not all creatures are amphibious. It takes away the heat from living creatures and wets their dry fur. They couldn't find food to begin with, so they started to starve. If they were drenched in the storm and the rain took away a large amount of heat, their bodies would be wet. What awaited them would be hunger, weakness, and hypothermia. Their immunity would decrease, and bacteria would invade wildly.
They would soon die!
