Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 26: Hibernation

The stars that appear at night are lies of a sunny day.

From the next day, the continuous autumn rain began.

The intelligence system did not refresh today. Perhaps it was angered by Liu Qing's criticism and it went on strike.

Anyway, Liu Qing, whose strength has greatly increased, doesn't care about the white-level content in the daily intelligence.

Perhaps, only red and gold can make him look at them with higher regard.

[Note: Daily intelligence can be refreshed at will. The longer the interval, the greater the probability of refreshing red and gold-level information.]

An illusory box appeared in front of Liu Qing out of thin air. The daily information turned into an irregular treasure box, and Liu Qing could decide whether to open it.

A look of joy appeared in Liu Qing's eyes.

As he grew up, he felt the pressure and was forced to make progress.

Well, it’s good to know shame and make progress.

A rat snake, spitting out its core arrogantly, dared to ignore the green willow on the crooked mulberry tree, opened its upper and lower jaws wide, wanting to eat the white snake for breakfast.

Liu Qing had an idea, and saw a stream of water suddenly emerge from the pool under the rat snake, like a rope, tying up the rat snake.

The white snake's vertical pupils were filled with shock.

The ability to make such an expression shows that the white snake's chaos has dissipated and its spiritual intelligence has begun to awaken.

Liu Qingyu used the water in the pond to pull the rat snake to his mouth. He opened his mouth and used his fangs to bite the rat snake in two.

He swallowed a section himself and threw the remaining snake tail to the white snake.

The white snake wagged its tail and pounced forward happily, swallowing a piece of the cauliflower snake's tail into its stomach and having a delicious meal.

However, for a white snake that is only a foot long, this piece of cauliflower snake tail is enough for it to have a full meal.

The autumn rain was sparse, falling from the sky, bringing a hint of coolness. The white snake could not stand the cold, and had already hidden under the crooked mulberry tree to avoid the rain.

Liu Qing, on the other hand, was still perched on the tree, facing the cold autumn rain.

It was not that Liu Qing was strong enough to ignore the cold, but that the falling autumn rain took the initiative to bypass Liu Qing.

Ever since swallowing that drop of water essence, Liu Qing's divine authority has increased to 10%. He discovered that he was slowly mastering the ability to control water.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Horned Python]

[Divinity: Authority 10%, Incense 1%]

[Bloodline Talents: 1 Swallow Elephant (Minor Success); 2 Tail Whip (Minor Success); 3 Thick Armor (Minor Success); 4 Mouth Bag (Beginner)]

[Magic Power: Water Control (Beginner)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 2 points]

[Note: The growth of the magical power 'Water Control' can be increased by using the source of heaven and earth.]

The source of energy of heaven and earth is truly a panacea. It can unlock bloodline talents, enhance bloodline talents, and the growth of supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, due to the continuous autumn rain and the end of the month, the moonlight could not be absorbed and exhaled, and the source of the source of qi of heaven and earth was lost.

The intelligence system is currently in seclusion, working hard to improve the information level at the expense of reducing the number of refreshes.

Therefore, Liu Qing is currently in a dilemma where he has no source of energy from heaven and earth to use.

Fortunately, he is powerful and has no worries about survival. He is enough to be the king in this snake pond.

The long-legged cranes had experienced a feast yesterday, and they came impatiently in the rain before dusk today.

Another round of fighting between snakes and cranes.

The weak snakes were eliminated, and the remaining ones were all strong and powerful, which is in line with the survival of the fittest in nature.

Before departing, the well-fed long-legged cranes excrete pools of guano. Undigested fish eggs, shrimp, and algae seeds in the guano revitalize the water, bringing the deserted Snake Pond to life. The algae take root and sprout in the fertile mud, multiplying and proliferating until they soon cover the entire pond floor. The reeds, cattails, and water celery that hadn't been killed by the sun also flourish.

With algae and other aquatic vegetation, shrimps and crabs have a place to live. They nibble on the algae and nutrients in the mud and reproduce rapidly.

The reproduction of shrimps and crabs has completely sounded the horn for all aquatic fish to spawn.

Loaches, eels, catfish and snakehead fish are all mating and giving birth tirelessly under the cover of night.

Add to that the long-legged cranes, other water birds, and the fish, shrimp eggs, and snails excreted by ducks, and soon the number and variety of aquatic life in the Snake Pond became numerous.

The autumn rain continued, and the accumulated water flowed down from the high Qinling Mountains, carrying ripe and fallen fruit and grass seeds along the way, providing sufficient food for the Snake Pond.

In just one or two months, the Snake Pond was no longer deserted and became completely lively. Countless small fish, shrimps, turtles and crabs filled every corner of the Snake Pond.

Liu Qing just watched the changes in the Snake Pond indifferently.

He is like a king, looking down at his subjects at his feet. He is high above and does not care about decline or prosperity.

After nearly two months of swallowing, Liu Qing's body is now bigger.

His body length reached seven and a half feet, and the thickest part of his body reached four fingers. He coiled around the crooked mulberry tree, a real behemoth.

He felt the scales on his body tighten and his vision began to blur. He knew that the fourth molting in his life was about to begin.

From today on, any rabbits, pheasants, foxes and musk deer that he could not finish eating would be stored in the space in his mouth pouch.

From the third day, as soon as he got over the blindfold period, he felt extremely itchy all over his body.

It's time to really start shedding.

He faced the autumn rain, coiled his snake body around the crooked mulberry tree, and rubbed his body hard against the rough bark of the mulberry tree.

With a click, another cut was made in the lower jaw, and Liu Qing pulled the new body out of the snake skin.

Wow, an eight-foot-long python, what a huge creature!

The autumn rain stopped suddenly and the sun came out.

The autumn rain that lasted for a month or two finally stopped at the moment Liu Qing successfully shed his skin.

Liu Qing swallowed the snake skin.

The new body exudes a fresh and tender smell, attracting countless snakes and pythons.

They swarmed together, opened their mouths wide, and rushed to share Liu Qing's food.

Liu Qing's snake pupils were cold, and a slight sneer appeared on his face. With a thought, several water chains emerged from the snakes and pythons, locking them around the waist.
Then he tightened his grip, and instantly the snake's blood poured out like rain.

The python, broken into two pieces, twisted and struggled on the water. The white snake chose the fattest one and swallowed it, then happily wagged its tail towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing let out a sharp hiss and slowly moved his gaze over the other snakes and pythons that were lured here.

The cruel means and the strong smell of blood made the other snakes and pythons lower their heads in fear and kowtow to Liu Qing, begging for mercy.

The white snake stuck its body on the water in front of Liu Qing like a dog's leg, making a slight cry and swinging its tail into the air.

After a brief moment of confusion, the clever ones imitated the white snake and started shaking their tails. The other stupid ones gradually came to their senses and also shook their tails clumsily like their companions.

Liu Qing paused.

This dog-like snake python is really spectacular, wagging its tail at the same time.

After the autumn rain stopped, there was another week of sunny days, and then the weather suddenly became gloomy.

The cold wind blew from the far north, across the Qinling Mountains, and brought winter to Shetan.

Even though Liu Qing was a Taoist, he could not resist the instinct of the snake and python. He hid in the crooked mulberry tree, living in the tree hole that the kingfisher had previously dug, and his body became increasingly stiff.

It's time to hibernate.
