"So I slept for a month? Winter is here. Why don't I need to hibernate?"
Bai Chuan, who had just woken up from his evolutionary sleep, was a little confused because he clearly remembered that it was only autumn before evolution. Unexpectedly, after the evolution, he woke up to find that it was already winter.
A thin old wolf and a rabbit actually appeared in front of him. Didn't he stay in the cave before he evolved? Where did the wolf and rabbit come from?
Although Bai Chuan still did not know what was going on, it was undoubtedly a good thing that he had food at his door since he had just woken up. He did not stand on ceremony and tested the newly evolved power generation ability.
As expected, the power generation ability was indeed a double-edged sword. He looked at his slightly red and numb claws and sighed. One had to know that his claws were covered in extremely resistant cuticles and hard fine scales.
However, even so, after he waved his electric claw ten times in a row, it began to turn red and sting. It seemed that this ability could not be used normally unless he found a better Electricity Protection ability to avoid getting injured.
However, since he came to this world, this was the first time he had eaten cooked food, right? Bai Chuan looked at the half-cooked flesh on the ground uncertainly.
After a while. He finally understood why the wolf and rabbit had come to his cave. It turned out that it was because the snow in winter was a little too thick, and his luxurious cave was not deep.
Under the weight of the snow and the appearance of the wolf and the rabbit, the roof of the cave in front instantly collapsed.
"Looks like I have to pay more attention to safety when digging in the future. If not for the large space in the hole this time, I would have been buried alive." Bai Chuan looked at the cave and thought.
However, he could not stay in this cave anymore. It was time for him to leave. At this point, he still didn't understand why he didn't need to hibernate. Moreover, even though it was cold outside and he felt cold, he did not feel that his metabolism was slowly decreasing and preparing to enter hibernation.
Snakes were cold-blooded animals. They changed according to the temperature of the environment. The lower the temperature, the stiffer their bodies became. However, his body temperature was still normal. In fact, because of the cold, his entire body began to become active to resist the cold.
Food began to digest faster, decomposing it into bioenergy for the body to absorb quickly. Did this mean that he had lost his ability to hibernate? Or was he no longer a cold-blooded animal? He did not know if this situation was good or bad.
After leaving the cave, Bai Chuan's mind was filled with doubts. He did not know that the scales on his body were slowly changing color as the environment changed. The scales were no longer black and golden, but white, yellow, and green that were identical to the environment. The white ones were the snow, the yellow ones were the dead trees around him, and the green ones were the cold-resistant trees in the snow forest.
Not long after, in the entire snow forest, there was no longer a huge snake that existed here. Only a deep lying mark on the ground proved its existence.
Not long after, Bai Chuan felt that something was wrong. "What's going on?" He lowered his head and looked at himself. At a glance, he could only see the color of the snow. "Am I invisible?"
He suddenly realized that other than generating electricity, he also had an Environmental Simulation ability. But was this a passive ability?
Bai Chuan clearly knew that he had never actively used invisibility, but now that he was invisible, was this ability passive? He closed his eyes and carefully experienced the wonderful experience brought about by this body. In the next moment, his body slowly returned to its original black color. Soon, the scales on his entire body turned golden, white, and green.
For a moment, he was having a lot of fun. This feeling was quite strange.
It turned out that his ability could be completely controlled by his instincts, and this was the passive ability that changed with the environment. At the same time, he could take the initiative to change the color he wanted.
That made sense. If there were no passive changes and only active changes, wouldn't he have to pay full attention to the changes in the environment and change accordingly if he wanted to use it in the future?
Wouldn't that exhaust him to death? He didn't have to think about doing anything else other than this. After all, if he focused all his attention on this during a battle, would he still have the energy to pay attention to his opponent?
After understanding this, Bai Chuan suddenly realized that the instincts of this creature were quite strange and powerful. If he could unlock it one day, how powerful would he be?

An hour later.
Bai Chuan stopped crawling and looked at the lonely snow forest solemnly. At this moment, the snow forest was even more desolate than other seasons.
At a glance, there was basically no life.
"This can't go on. It's getting colder. I can't stay exposed to the biting wind. I need to find a comfortable place to stay out of the wind." Bai Chuan looked at the howling wind and thought.
But where could he find such an environment?
For a moment, Bai Chuan had no experience. He was at a loss. In the past, when he encountered problems, most of his body's instincts could give him direction. However, this instinct was gone now, because snakes usually did not appear in winter at all. They usually start hibernating in autumn.
Due to his constant evolution, he had lost the means to hibernate. In addition, the cave had collapsed. It made him unable to adapt. In the end, there was too little food in the snow forest in winter.
If it was in the past, he would have already found food to eat in the hour he went out. But now, there was no trace of life. If not for the fact that he had encountered two foods that came knocking on his door when he woke up, he would have become the shame of transmigrators, the first transmigrator to starve to death.
With a specific target this time, Bai Chuan quickly slithered again. Along the way, he specifically looked for places where caves might exist on the ground.
As expected, he soon found a narrow cave. He didn't care what was inside and started to crawl in. Or rather, it was better to have creatures inside so that he could eat his fill.
At the same time, his claws kept expanding the cave. Not long after, he felt the cold air outside slowly leave him, and his body began to gradually recover its warmth.
For the first time, he felt that warmth was so wonderful. Soon, he entered an open cave. What he saw was a snake coiled up in hibernation.
Bai Chuan estimated that the snake was more than two meters long. Its head was triangular, and the black patterns on it vaguely showed the word "king". Its entire body was yellow, white, and black, like the vegetable flowers in the vegetable field.
