On a group of dead yellow leaves, a gray python is slowly crawling
Three days have passed since Fang Yun left the pine tree.
In these three days, Fang Yun didn't know how much he slithered, he only knew that the deeper he crawled into the mountains, the lusher and livelier his surroundings were.
After all, he saw a lot of lifeforms, among which a lot can be used as his prey.
However, Fang Yun did choose to settle here as expected, he is planning to enter the deepest part of the mountains.
With his two meters long body, he should be considered a high-level predator in this area.
Coupled with his venom and hard scales, although he can't act as the mountain overlord, his safety should be no problem.
Most importantly, the prey in the deepest part of the mountain is the most abundant, with his current hunting ability, there would be no need to worry about the problem of bio-energy, even if the amount of bio-energy skyrocket after each evolution, this area should still be able to support him for a long time.
Just in these three days, he gathered a total of 860 bio-energy point. And that's without particularly hunting, after all, he was mostly exploring the area this time.
Just when Fang Yun was full of ambition, two creatures suddenly jumped in front of him.
The sudden appearance of the two creatures surprised Fang Yun, raising his head to see what kind of creature dares to stop in front of him.
But after seeing what kind of creatures they are, Fang Yun mouth couldn't stop twitching.
The animal that appeared in front of him can be said to be one of the most dangerous natural enemies of snakes.
Mongoose.
The two Mongooses that appeared in front of him, one big and one small, one about 70 to 80 cm and one about 30 to 40 cm. Both have the same characteristics.
Their head is small, their mouth and nose are long, and their tail is especially long.
That big tail, almost occupying half of their bodies.
Just as Fang Yun stared at the two mongooses, the system mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Target locked, mongoose, mammal, carnivore, can provide 150 bio-energy point."
"Target locked, young mongoose, mammal, carnivore, can provide 50 bio-energy point."
After hearing the system prompt, Fang Yun looked at the two mongooses, not like looking at a natural enemy, but like looking at delicious prey.
Fang Yun is no longer like the previous weak him.
When he was fleeing the forest fire previously, he met a mongoose group, at that time he was so scared that he almost shat himself. f𝑟𝘦𝘦𝙬e𝗯𝗻ov𝐞l - 🅽🅽novel
But now, facing these two mongooses, Fang Yun has no fear of them, just the joy of finding delicious prey.
"Wheee..."
The two mongooses screamed at Fang Yun, slowly approaching him, trying to act intimidating.
Even though Fang Yun's body size is more than two meters, this doesn't seem to intimidate them, perhaps in their view, snakes no matter how big or small are all their prey.
After all, with their speed and agility, most snakes can't even scratch them.
After reaching a distance about half a meter away from Fang Yun, the big mongoose stretched its arm to tease him, but Fang Yun simply ignored it.
Fang Yun also occasionally saw the animal kingdom show in his previous life, so he knows that the teasing of mongooses is their strategy to hunt snakes.
In the face of snakes, mongooses tease them from time to time, making the snake attack them, but relying on their phenomenal speed and agility, they easily dodge every time, they repeat this process until the snake is exhausted, then kill it. A simple and easy process which work most of the time, that's why mongooses are considered snakes killer.
The big mongoose opposite, seeing that its strategy is not working, was slightly surprised, suddenly it pounced on Fang Yun, attacking him with its claws.
However, Fang Yun was already prepared, the moment the mongoose attacked him, he tightened his muscles, attacking with an even faster speed.
The big mongoose was shocked by Fang Yun sudden attack, twisting its body, trying to dodge mid-air, but its speed is still too slow.
Fang Yun bit into its neck, injecting his venom into its bloodstream, then immediately releasing it. he turned his gaze into the smaller one, then without hesitation attacked it.
"Wheee!"
This horrifying scene scared the heck out of the small mongoose.
It was afraid, seeing that his mother has fallen into the ground, mourning with pain, he was particularly anxious, wanting to check its situation, but seeing that scary snake looking at him, then attacking him scared the hell out of him.
While the small mongoose was still frozen in fear, Fang Yun didn't waste this opportunity, bitting on its neck, then watching it as it struggled for less than a minute before dying. While mongooses have a certain resistance toward venom, but Fang Yun venom isn't something they can resist.
His venom is already comparable to the top venomous snakes in the world like the inland taipan, which is far beyond what the mongooses are capable of resisting.
After Fang Yun swallowed the small mongoose, its mother finally stopped struggling and died.
Looking at the dead mongoose on the ground, Fang Yun wondered where its confidence came in the first place, most small animals flee upon his sight.
But this mongoose actually took the initiative to attack him, it must have thought that he was the same as other snakes, so it dared to attack him, even if it couldn't hurt him, it could easily escape with its agility, but who would have thought that it would end as his meal.
After digesting the small one, Fang Yun swallowed the big mongoose, causing his belly to swell once again.
200 bio-energy point at hand.
Fang Yun smacked his lips, an action he used to do as a human, seemingly relishing the taste of the mongoose, but he didn't stay in his place but dragged his swollen belly and crawled forward.
The next trip went without an accident. Fang Yun spent five days in total before reaching his destination.
Finally, on the fifth day, Fang Yun stopped moving.
At this moment, the forest around him is particularly lush, with a lot of trees, green bushes everywhere, and a variety of wild animals.
In his opinion, this place is very suitable for his survival.
The prey in this area is enough for him to evolve two to three times, or maybe even more.
With this idea in mind, Fang Yun began to look for a place to live in.
It's not easy to find the perfect nest for him to live in but after more than three hours of search, he finally found a place he was very satisfied with.
Fang Yun looked up at the place in front of him, a cliff, and in the middle of the cliff is a cave about a meter tall.
At the bottom of this cliff is a small lake, which is a bit bigger than two basketball courts.
When Fang Yun came to the edge of the lake, he saw a lot of fish in the pool, and not a very small fish, most of them being about 15 cm in length, some even bigger.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yun couldn't help but get excited, if someday he got tired of the taste of terrestrial animals, he could catch a few fish to change his taste.
Fang Yun crawled into the water, then swam straight to the opposite cliff.
After swimming for a while, he crossed this small lake and climbed the cliff straight into the cave in it.
This cave is more than a dozen meters deep and a few meters wide, enough to act as a nest to Fang Yun for a long time, as for whether he is going to stay here for that long? only God knows.
He climbed on a raised stone bench sticking out of the wall and laid down, preparing to rest. It's almost sunset, plus the exhaustion from the migration these days, so he isn't planning to hunt today.
He is planning to rest for a while to restore his spirit, before going out to check the situation around his nest and this new area.
