Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 8 Carp Worshiping the Moon
If it were an ordinary water snake, it would inevitably be swallowed by its natural enemy, the rat snake.

But Liu Qing has human thinking and can suppress the instinctive fear of living things instead of sitting there and waiting to die.

Seeing the rat snake's head coming towards him, Liu Qing quickly jumped and moved his body to the left. Then, he activated his tail whip talent with a thought.
The snake's tail was aimed at the rat snake's head, and it was whipped down hard.

The slender snake tail, with an iron-like luster, tore through the air with a sharp explosion and hit the rat snake's head hard.

Snapped!
The rat snake's head caved in.

The crimson snake blood oozed out from the shattered scales, and the snake core drooped outside the mouth. The vertical pupils that were originally full of murderous intent,

Quickly turned gray and lifeless.

It twisted its body a few times as if it had cramps, and then died.

Liu Qing made a few snake-like sounds, expressing his joy of defeating his natural enemy!
But before Liu Qing could vent for long, he heard the rustling sound again. Turning his head, he saw two more rat snakes crawling to the top of the bluestone.

There was surprise and shock in Liu Qing's eyes.

Could it be that today is a very bad day, and I am destined to be plagued by snakes? Why do they keep coming one after another?

Unfortunately, the time has not come yet, and there is no prompt in today's intelligence. Otherwise, I would definitely check to see if the intelligence level is black!
The situation did not allow Liu Qing to think too much. Two rat snakes, one about one and a half feet long and the other about one foot long,
But no matter which one, it is much thicker than the main body of the Liuqing water snake.

Killing a rat snake just now gave Liu Qing a strong confidence, and he decided to take the initiative.

He used his tail to whip the ground, using the recoil force to catch one of the rat snakes before it could react.

He jumped to the side, then activated his tail whip talent, and hit the seven inches of the cauliflower snake with his tail.
Seven inches of the rat snake were instantly turned into meat paste, making a miserable snake cry. Its body, which was almost broken into two, twisted and rolled around wildly.

Liu Qing succeeded in his attack and without stopping, he quickly came to another rat snake and was about to use his tail whip.
But he was a step too slow and was entangled by the rat snake. Liu Qing was suddenly shocked.

The rat snake wrapped its body around Liu Qing, desperately contracting its scales and muscles, trying to squeeze and break Liu Qing's spine. The snake's head had already been raised high, and it opened its mouth to bite.

Liu Qing quickly popped out his head and held the rat snake's jaw tightly. At the same time, he used his slender tail to whip it repeatedly.

Let’s see, will you swallow me first, or will I beat you to pieces first?
The result was obvious. Liu Qing first beat the snake's scales, flesh, and spine to pieces, and a large amount of snake blood gushed out.

As the snake blood gushed out, the rat snake gradually lost its strength to bite the head, and Liu Qing took the opportunity to bounce out of the rat snake's entanglement.

Liu Qing, who had just emerged, raised his tail again and hit the rat snake hard on the head.

After killing two rat snakes in a dangerous manner, Liu Qing was exhausted, but at this moment he had no time to take a breath and rest.
He looked around himself and his surroundings, wondering why the rat snakes kept coming.
Suddenly, a grayish-white snake skin appeared in Liu Qing's sight.

Suddenly a flash of lightning exploded in my mind. Could it be that these rat snakes that came one after another were attracted by the smell of my own snake skin?
Maybe so!

Liu Qing immediately came to the back of the bluestone, swallowed his own snake skin, and then quickly crawled back to the bluestone space.

Liu Qing entered the bluestone space and used his snake core to sense the outside through the narrow and long passage.

Sure enough, not long after, the rustling sound was heard again, and several colorful rat snakes with thick tails and fat bodies came.

The new rat snakes, spitting out their snake cores, crawled towards the big bluestone, but after they climbed up,

But they were a little confused. The smell of the snake skin from the food had disappeared. No matter how hard they tried to think, they couldn't figure it out. They could only whistle as if to vent their anger.

Fortunately, they later discovered that there were several dead bodies of their own kind at the spot. This discovery made them very excited, and they had already put aside the matter of looking for Liu Qing in their minds.

Quickly join the gluttonous feast of devouring the corpses of their own kind.

It opened its mouth wide, bit the head of the dead rat snake with its hooked fangs, and the muscles in its mouth, which were covered with granulations and barbs, contracted, swallowing the corpse of its fellow snake bit by bit.

Starting from the neck, it slowly swelled up, and this swelling extended to the abdomen as the corpses of the same kind were swallowed.

In the end, the more than one-foot-long body of the rat snake was almost completely swallowed by its own kind, leaving only a half-inch-long tail trembling at the corner of its mouth, as if it had grown a horn.

With his overweight body, he slowly climbed down the top of the bluestone. He encountered a narrow crevice along the way and got stuck unexpectedly.

If it is stuck temporarily, it will wait until it has digested the food before leaving. As the dominant force in the pond and this shallow wetland, the rat snake is not too worried about its own safety.

So, under the sunshine, several colorful rat snakes, blindly believing in themselves, lay comfortably outside the bluestone, basking in the sun.

However, Liu Qing, who truly possesses powerful strength, hides inside the bluestone. The reason is that there is no need to do so.

Any killing that is not for the purpose of survival is unnecessary.

[Today's information: Level White, first day of the Lunar New Year, tonight at midnight, in the pond, there will be carp worshiping the moon and old eels swallowing mist. Observing this will inspire aspirations for immortality.]

Liu Qing's pupils suddenly widened. Carp worshiping the moon, old eels swallowing mist? He thought to himself, could there be a monster in this small pond?
This is the first time I have heard of the existence of monsters since I traveled through time.

Liu Qing felt a little frightened and a little expectant. As he felt uneasy, the sky gradually darkened.

This time, Liu Qing did not go to bed as usual.

Instead, he forced himself to stay awake and waited for the arrival of midnight.

The late summer night was a little chilly. The breeze blowing around the pond stirred up ripples on the water. The dark water surface reflected the stars.

The deer, gazelles, foxes and pheasants that came to the pond to drink water in the evening had returned to their nests early. They buried their heads under their bodies and shivered as they heard the ferocious roars of the beasts.

The last wave of estrus frogs, no matter how the beasts roared, still stubbornly puffed up their bellies and croaked to send out courtship signals.

The wind around the pond gradually grew stronger, bending the reeds and cattails, ruffling the lotus leaves and lotus pods, and the originally wet surface of the water was now rippling without anyone noticing.

In a trance, a thick mist suddenly filled the air above the pond.

A head the size of a bowl suddenly emerged from the mist: "Ga——"

Liu Qing slightly stretched out his body from the hollow of the blue stone, and suddenly trembled, his vertical snake pupils full of shock.

A huge old eel, as thick as a bowl, about two meters long, covered with mucus and with black and yellow spots, suddenly appeared in the mist.

But before Liu Qing could digest the shock brought by the old eel, there was another loud splash of water.
A carp three feet long from head to tail, covered with red scales, jumped out from the water in the middle of the pond. It was suspended in the mist, its head facing the sky, and it bowed three times.
