Chapter 26 Looking for a Hibernating

Python

Seeing this, Bai Chuan’s eyes lit up.

What was a surprise? This was a surprise! Not only did he find a warm cave, but he also found a two-meter-long Elaphe Carinata that was hibernating. Now, there was food to be had.

Bai Chuan crawled over with a ferocious gaze. At the same time, perhaps sensing danger, the Elaphe Carinata, who should have been in hibernation, suddenly moved.

But it was too late.

In just an instant, a sharp claw wrapped in high-voltage electric current grabbed the Elaphe Carinata’s vital spot. For a moment, the Elaphe Carinata’s entire snake body began to twitch. Although the electric current only lasted for a moment, the sharp poisonous fangs used this short period of time to bite. In the next moment, venom gushed out.

This was not the end. In order to prevent his prey from waking up, Bai Chuan directly used his claws to tear the other party’s scales. Snake scales fluttered and blood splattered

everywhere.

In just a minute, the hibernating Elaphe Carinata died. It did not even know what had happened.

Looking at the dead Elaphe Carinata, Bai Chuan felt that his stomach was still full. He thought for a while and climbed out of the cave again. He picked up a snowball with his sharp claws and covered the Elaphe Carinata’s corpse. Since he did not want to eat it yet, and it was winter, he might as well save it and eat it when he was hungry.

After doing all this, Bai Chuan coiled up in the cave and rested for a while. It had to be said that there were too many things that could be done with a pair of claws. Then, he looked at the narrow and shallow cave and shook his head in dissatisfaction. He got busy again. He probably didn’t need to hibernate this winter, so he needed a good cave.

Now, he felt that the cave was too bad.

Firstly, he had to dig deeper to avoid the same situation as last time. Secondly, the passage he entered had to be narrower, and the passage had to be curved to prevent cold air from coming in. Lastly, the resting area inside needed to be larger. If he could not finish the prey he caught, he could put it there.

After thinking for a while, Bai Chuan decided on a plan to start.

In the evening, as the last ray of the sun disappeared, the short day of winter quietly passed. At this time, Bai Chuan, who had been busy for almost a day, finally finished his new cave-half of the work. He looked at his claws, which were beginning to wear out, and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, this pair of claws could still grow. Moreover, because of the Level 1 Regeneration, the growth was not slow. It only needed a night to completely recover. Otherwise, he would not dare to dig so hard.

However, he was tired enough today. He needed a good rest. He had just woken up and

had encountered so many things. He needed some time to sort out his thoughts and see what to do next.

With this thought in mind, Bai Chuan lay down and began to spend his first winter day.

…

The next day, Bai Chuan climbed out of the

cave and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had stopped snowing today. This was a good sign. He could also reduce unnecessary energy consumption when he traveled.

He was not sure if the lack of his ability to slow down his body metabolism in low temperatures was good or bad. But, he was still a snake. In order to resist the low temperature, the body would consume a lot of energy to maintain its body temperature.

The faster one consumed a large amount of energy, the faster one would starve. In this winter where it was difficult to find food, it was not a good sign to starve too quickly. If things went wrong, snakes might die. Therefore, it was a good sign that the snow had

stopped.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Bai

Chuan quickly left the cave and began to

explore this winter that was extremely unfamiliar to him.

Along the way, Bai Chuan purposefully searched for tree holes, caves, and sandstones.

When he was resting last night, he had thought about it. Snakes usually needed to hibernate, except for him.

In that case, why didn’t he take advantage of the good opportunity brought by this winter to find some powerful snakes to obtain their abilities?

For example, pythons.

His size was indeed considered big now,

reaching 5.5 meters in length. It could be said that he was not much inferior to most pythons, but his body was not thick enough. Due to his congenital nature, his body was flat and round. He could expand very much, but he was not

round enough, and his muscles were relatively insufficient.

Unlike pythons, they were round and muscular.

Due to his evolution, his strength was not necessarily inferior to the python’s when he erupted in an instant, but it was definitely incomparable in terms of endurance. At the same time, his body was not as flexible as the other party’s.

One had to know that pythons were famous for their strong strangulation abilities. Needless to say, their strangulation abilities were strong.

Their bodies must be extremely flexible and agile. If not, how could they wrap around their prey or enemies?

As for him, although the King Cobra also relied on size, it mostly relied on poison. Their utilization of the body could only be said to be insignificant compared to the python. It could not be said to be a complete decoration, but such a long body did not have any strangulation ability.

For snakes like venomous snakes, the most

dangerous place was always the head. As for pythons, their entire bodies were dangerous

places. Therefore, if he could obtain the python’s ability, he would no longer have any weaknesses. The growth of his body would no longer be dispensable and useless.

At that time, he would be extremely agile. Not

only would he have the python’s entanglement and strangulation, but he would also have an incomparably fatal poison. He would also have the ability of power generation with his sharp claws, together with the invisibility.

Then how powerful would he be? What other shortcomings would he have? Just thinking about it made Bai Chuan excited.

In this weather, once he discovered the hibernating python, not only would he have the ability, but he would also have food. Moreover,

it would be effortless and there would be no

risk at all. It could be said to be a very profitable thing. Therefore, with this thought in mind, Bai

Chuan exerted 120% of his energy to search. Along the way, he constantly activates the various sensory organs in his body. However, there were some things that couldn’t be done

just by thinking about it. It was common for things to go wrong.

With such a huge mountain range and endless

snow forest, it was not easy to find the pythons hibernating in various underground or hidden caves. If it was really that easy to find, the

snakes would have long gone extinct during their hibernation.

Therefore, it took Bai Chuan more than a week

to find it.

Fortunately, during this period, he found many caves of other creatures, such as snakes, frogs,

rats, hedgehogs, and so on. It was not to the extent that he did not have any supplies. At this point, he had to mention something like the hedgehog. If not for the fact that he had grown a pair of sharp claws, he might not have

been able to do anything to the hedgehog that had shrunk into a spiky ball.

But now, with the combination of his sharp

claws and electric currents, it was not long before this troublesome thing that he did not dare to eat was torn and thrown into his stomach.
