Chapter 25 Hibernation ability disappeared?
"So I slept for a month? Winter is coming, why don't I need to hibernate?"
Bai Chuan, who just woke up from the deep sleep of evolution, was a little confused because he clearly remembered that it was only autumn before evolution.
It turns out that after the evolution is complete, I wake up and find that it is winter.
And a thin old wolf and a rabbit unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
Didn't he stay in a cave before he evolved? Where are the wolves and rabbits?
Although Bai Chuan still doesn't know what's going on, it's undoubtedly good for him to have food when he just woke up.
He simply stopped being polite, and by the way, tested the newly evolved power generation ability.
Sure enough, as he expected, the ability to generate electricity is indeed a double-edged sword.
He looked at his sharp claws which were slightly red and slightly numb at the moment, and sighed.
You must know that his claws are covered with cuticles with extremely high resistance and hard and fine scales.
However, at this point, after he swung the electric current ten times in a row, he began to turn red and tingling.
It seems that this ability can't be used as a normal use unless he finds a better current protection ability to prevent himself from being injured.
But since he came to this world, is this the first time he has eaten cooked food?
Bai Chuan looked at the half-cooked, even partially carbonized flesh and blood on the ground, uncertain.
A long while.
At this moment, he had almost eaten, and he finally understood how this wolf and rabbit came to his cave.
It turned out that the snow in winter was too thick, and his luxury cave was not dug too deep.
No, under the weight of the snow itself, coupled with the wolf rabbit that appeared, the roof of the cave a little ahead collapsed in an instant.
"It seems that we must pay more attention to safety when digging holes in the future. If the hole dug this time is not large, I would probably be buried alive."
Bai Chuan thought to himself looking at the leaky cave.
But this cave can't stay anymore, he should leave.
He still doesn't understand why he doesn't need to hibernate.
And even though it was cold and windy outside, he himself felt cold, but he just didn't feel that his metabolism was slowly decreasing, and he was about to enter a hibernation state.
It is important to know that snakes are temperature-changing animals, which change with the temperature of the environment. The lower the temperature, the stiffer the body.
But now he still maintains a normal body temperature, and even because of the cold, his whole body began to spontaneously become active in order to resist the cold.
Food begins to accelerate digestion and breaks down into biological energy for rapid absorption by the body.
Does this mean he lost the ability to hibernate?
Or is he no longer a temperature-changing animal?
He also doesn't know if the situation is good or bad.
After leaving the cave, Bai Chuan had a lot of doubts in his mind, unaware that the scales on his body at this moment began to slowly change color with the change of the environment.
The scales are no longer pitch black and golden yellow, but white, yellow, and green, exactly the same as the environment...
The white ones are the snow, the yellow ones are the dead trees around, and the green ones are the hardy trees in the snow forest...
Not long after, in the entire snow forest, there was no longer a big snake here, only a deep-lying mark on the ground proved its existence.
After climbing for not long, Bai Chuan felt something was wrong, "What's going on?"
He lowered his head and looked at himself, only seeing the color of the snow at a glance.
"This is me? Invisible?"
He suddenly realized that besides the ability to generate electricity, he also had an environment simulation.
But this ability is passive?
Bai Chuan clearly knows that he has not actively used stealth at this moment, but now he is invisible, so this ability is passive?
He closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the wonderful experience brought by this body.
The next moment, I saw his body slowly returning to its original black color again, and not long after that, the scales all over his body turned into gold, white, and cyan...
For a while, he was having a great time playing, which was a strange feeling.
It turns out that this ability of his can be completely controlled by instinct, and this is the previous passivity that changes with the environment.
At the same time, you can actively control it yourself, and you can change any color you want.
That's right, if there is no passive change, only active change, then if he wants to use it in the future, wouldn't he have to pay attention to the change in the environment all the time and follow the change?
Wouldn't that exhaust him to death, not to mention that he wouldn't have to think about doing other things like this?
After all, if you put all your attention on this during the battle, do you still have the energy to pay attention to your opponent?
After realizing this, Bai Chuan suddenly discovered that the instinct of this creature is quite wonderful and powerful.
If one day he can unlock it in the future, how powerful he will be.
…
after an hour.
Bai Chuan stopped his body that continued to crawl and looked at the lonely snow forest with some seriousness. The snow forest at this moment is a little more barren than in other seasons in the past.
At a glance, there is no life.
"It can't go on like this. The weather is getting colder and colder. I can't be exposed to the biting cold wind all the time. I need to find a comfortable place where I can shelter from the wind."
Bai Chuan thought to himself looking at the non-stop whistling cold wind.
But where to find this kind of environment?
For a while, Bai Chuan had no experience, and he was a little at a loss at the moment. When encountering difficulties in the past, most of his body's instincts could give him direction.
But now this instinct is gone, because snakes don't normally appear in winter at all, and they usually start to hibernate as early as autumn.
But because of his continuous evolution, he has lost the means of hibernation, coupled with the collapse of the cave.
so that he has nothing to adapt to.
After all, there is too little food in the snowy forest in winter.
If it was the past, he would have already found food and started to eat in the hour before he went out.
But now there is no trace of life.
If he hadn't encountered two food deliveries when he just woke up, he might not have become a disgrace among the traversers, the first traverser to starve to death.
With a specific goal this time, Bai Chuan soon swam again.
Along the way, he was looking for places where there might be caves on the ground.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find a narrow cave.
He didn't care what was inside, he just started to drill in, or it would be better if there were creatures inside, so that he could have a full meal.
At the same time, his pair of claws kept expanding the cave slightly.
Not long after, he felt the cold air outside slowly leaving him, and his body began to warm up gradually.
It was so nice to feel warm for the first time.
Soon, he entered a cave that suddenly opened up.
What caught his eye was a snake coiled in hibernation.
This snake Baichuan should be more than two meters by visual inspection. The head of the snake is triangular, and the black stripes on it vaguely present a "king" character. The color of the whole body is yellow, white and black, just like the cauliflower in the vegetable field.
