Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

"Hiss~"

The hunt was over, and Qingchen's peripheral vision unconsciously fell on the carcass of the orchid eel, his tail tip even subconsciously tilting towards the corpse.

His attention had shifted from "whether the bite was in the right spot" to something else.

An extremely tempting aura of flesh and blood was continuously emanating from the wound of the orchid eel, but it was blocked from spreading outward by the formation set up by Qin Ming.

This made the smell even stronger, like an invisible hook pulling at his mind. Qingchen's throat bobbed uncontrollably, and he swallowed.

Qin Ming did not overlook this detail.

He saw Qingchen's gaze lingering on him and noticed that Lanman's corpse seemed to be softening at an abnormal rate.

"Qingchen, eat whatever you want," Qin Ming said naturally and without hesitation. "You've been expending a lot of energy lately, so this should definitely be on your diet."

Upon hearing this, Qingchen slowly turned his head, a hint of hesitation in his golden eyes: "But everyone contributed..."

He was indeed hungry, but hunting prey was a team effort, and his contribution was actually negligible, so it was not appropriate to enjoy it all by himself.

"We're not hungry yet."

And never eat anything poisonous!

But Qin Ming swallowed the second half of his sentence and politely declined on behalf of everyone.

Qingchen glanced at Keda, who was squatting on a distant reef, and nodded in agreement.

Cang Xuan had already retreated to the upper reaches of the stream, and his calm and wary expression did not seem like he wanted to eat.

Therefore, Qingchen did not refuse any further.

He lowered his head slightly and began to swallow, starting with the head of his prey.

It was a very peculiar sight: a slender, emerald-green snake was slowly swallowing a blue eel that was much thicker than itself.

His jaw opened at an almost unbelievable angle, and his body slowly expanded, like a hose being filled with water.

Its thin body swelled up, and at a speed that even Qin Ming found somewhat worrying, it actually swallowed the blue eel, which was much fatter than itself.

Just when Qin Ming thought that Qing Chen's elegant figure would never reappear today, he actually lost weight!

The swollen body seemed to be gently pressed down by an invisible hand, shrinking little by little, from full to symmetrical, from bloated to smooth. In just a few dozen breaths, the fish flesh was no longer visible. It was like magic!

Of course, there's no magic involved, so is it that the weight of the blue eel was diluted with water, or that Qingchen digested it too quickly?

Qin Ming pondered in his heart, without interrupting Qing Chen, and simply observed quietly.

The emerald green python had its eyes slightly closed, and its body swayed gently with the ocean current, like a branch swaying in a breeze, its entire posture exuding a sense of satisfied relaxation.

Clearly, a satisfying meal made his body instinctively feel comfortable.

When Qingchen's body contraction subsided, his breathing returned to normal, and even his eyes opened with a clear, "fully recovered" look, Qin Ming finally spoke and asked:

"Is this the speed at which you usually digest your food?"

Qingchen tilted his head, not quite understanding, and then, following Qin Ming's gaze, he caught a glimpse of his body, which had returned to normal.

—A sleek, slender, and perfectly toned turquoise body.

Qingchen: ?

The snake froze, slowly raising its head to survey itself from head to toe. Then it turned to look at the vanished blue eel corpse, its gaze shifting from confusion to shock, and then from shock to obvious panic.

"I...I don't eat that much...I'm easy to feed."

His voice grew softer and softer, and when he spoke the last part of his sentence, even he could hear the weakness in his voice.

The blue eel was indeed quite large; that huge piece of meat was even bigger than its own body size.

If this were placed in a land-based academy or military camp, and every meal were this portion size, it would pose a challenge to the mess hall providing the food.

Qin Ming never expected that Qing Chen would focus on this.

Seeing Qingchen's expression that seemed to say, "Oh no, what if they find out and then they won't be able to support me anymore?" he shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and quickly comforted him:

"It's okay to eat a little, but what I mean is that your eating speed is abnormal. Is your body trying to do something?"

For example, a child's appetite increases significantly when they are growing.

Did he overlook Qingchen's condition in the past? After all, he really had no experience in raising snakes.

Although Xiao Pang is greedy, in his world, eating is a pure enjoyment and does not involve physiological needs.

Qingchen's situation was clearly different. This speed and efficiency went beyond the scope of "cravings" and was more like the body sending out some kind of signal.

Qingchen looked confused as Qin Ming questioned her.

He had only just found out that his digestive system was so good.

Previously, when he was alone in the jungle, he would eat and digest whatever he hunted slowly, and it was common for him to eat only once every few days.

Afterwards, within Qin Ming's spirit control space, he seemed to be in a low-consumption semi-hibernation state, and he really didn't know how to answer Qin Ming's question.

Seeing this, Qin Ming understood.

He didn't press further, but instead focused intently on the examination, hoping to find some clues using his talent.

His gaze slowly swept over Qingchen, examining him bit by bit, from the gaps in the scales to the texture of the muscles, from the flow of spiritual energy to the fluctuations in his aura.

A few seconds later, Qin Ming fell silent.

At first, he didn't see anything else; Qingchen's condition was normal, even healthier than normal.

But after a long and careful observation, he saw a brand new entry faintly emerging at the end of the skill bar on Qingchen's panel!

The entry is a light color, like a newly sprouted bud that is not yet fully formed, but its outline is already clearly discernible.

—Muscle strengthening.

Qin Ming stared at this entry for a long time to make sure it wasn't a misperception.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be a skill of the blue eel.

It's not particularly eye-catching, but it's an important skill that allows robust sea creatures to survive, enabling them to maintain amazing explosive power and endurance in the deep sea.

At this moment, this skill entry is displayed on Qingchen's skill bar, fresh and shimmering with a faint light.

Qin Ming fell into deep thought.

Qingchen hasn't been training much these days; he's been busy collecting and storing poison, which doesn't seem like something he could develop on his own.

If those few flashes and dashes could have such an immediate effect, then the entire Spirit Master society would probably collapse.

So where does this skill come from?

Qin Ming's gaze slowly shifted from the skill bar to the stone platform where Lan Man had disappeared, then returned to Qing Chen, his heartbeat gradually quickening...

P.S.: I still owe one chapter; I'll see if I can make it up today.
