Orochi Longevity

[The cycle of death has been triggered, the number of remaining uses: 4. 】

[For the sixth time, your heart is very confused and heavy, and you are hesitant. 】

[You decided to consume a precious chance of death reincarnation to verify your idea. This time, you didn't climb out of the cave, but chose to go directly into hibernation as it did at the beginning. 】

【...You, who have lived for twenty-one years, have already surpassed the limit of the lifespan of your kind. Your body is getting old and overwhelmed... You closed your eyes forever in the nest, and died in bed. 】

[The cycle of death has been triggered, the number of remaining uses: 3. 】

The snake woke up from the darkness, opened its swollen mung bean eyes, and stayed there motionless.

It has no eyelids, and it cannot open its eyes.

However, it also sleeps and dreams like humans.

When it falls into a deep sleep, its eyes will be plunged into darkness, and when it regains consciousness, its eyes will regain light.

At this time, the snake did not take the time to explore the physiological differences between it and humans.

It knows that it has no way out and cannot waste any more opportunities.

At present, the safest way is to continue to practice according to the original plan.

It has no time to hesitate.

Fortunately, the snake knows that it still has a chance.

Therefore, the snake has not lost its fighting spirit.

Its thoughts gradually calmed down.

Cling your body tightly to the stone wall, and use every inch of your flesh and blood to feel the changes in the temperature and temperature of the earth.

Every time the cold days alternate between the sky and the earth, and the reincarnation continues, it knows that a day has passed.

So it left small marks on the soft sand with the tip of its tail.

There are more and more such traces, and the snake's consciousness is swaying between chaos and sobriety.

Until one day, when it woke up, it counted the marks it left on the sand again.

Then it perked up.

The twelfth of the winter moon has come.

The next five days will be very warm and sunny.

This is the time period in which it has explored with its life, and can explore to the maximum extent within its limited time.

Almost without hesitation, feeling the slowly warming earth, the snake swung its body, drilled out of the cave, and swam towards the north.

In the bitter cold winter, everything is silent.

In the silent winter day, it seemed that it was the only living creature left in this world.

Snakes like this environment very much.

Although there is no prey, there is no need to worry about risks.

There is a sense of freedom and freedom that allows it to roam freely.

By the way, before the snake came out of the cave, it swallowed a few prepared food reserves.

I didn't eat too much, for fear of affecting my actions.

But keeping it free from food for five or seven days is quite easy.

It is completely different from the fragile creatures like human beings, and it does not need to be as cumbersome as three meals a day.

As long as you can have a full meal, it is very normal not to eat for more than ten days.

If it encounters a year of famine, it and its kind can even enter a dormant period, spending a year or even longer without eating or drinking.

The body slid across the withered grass, and the snake rustled beside it.

On the first day, the snake shuttled through the forest without incident.

On the second day, the snake crawled out of the forest before sunset.

On the third day, the snake passed by the village at the foot of the mountain.

The name of this village is Lijiawan. The people in the village rely on the mountains to eat mountains, and they often make a living by catching snakes, hunting and picking herbs.

One of its children was killed by the people of this village.

All kinds of creatures in the mountains are often caught, skinned and eaten by them.

Later, it took over the mountain as king and led a group of snakes to revenge these people fiercely.

The villagers suffered heavy casualties as a result.

Later, the mountain was renamed Snake Mountain, and no one dared to set foot on it again.

When the snake passed the village, it made a noise to attract the attention of the villagers.

They were two middle-aged men with very thin bodies.

The two of them were supposed to go to the side of the road to urinate, because their clothes were very thin, and they shrank their heads in the winter night.

"...Hiss, why did I hear the sound of the snake crawling?"

One of them was a bit like a snake.

During this period of time, everyone in Lijiawan talked about the snake and turned pale.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's winter, how can there be snakes?"

The other looked around nervously.

The snake quickly hid in a corner, disappearing all traces.

It has not been discovered.

The two looked around for a while, then relaxed.

"Maybe I heard it wrong... Sigh, the world is becoming more and more difficult nowadays. Not to mention the bad harvest, there are so many strange things."

"...My relative who came back from the city said that there is a place near Tubo called Chenjiazhuang. There lived a big monster called the King of Inspiration! Every year, people in the village would send a pair of virgin boys and girls to feed it. , otherwise it will cause trouble. Poor!"

"What a pity? I've heard about it too! The boys and girls sent to Chen's village have been in good weather all year round. I don't know how good the harvest is in the fields. If there is no protection from the big monster, there may be more children who starve to death." .”

"...You have some truth in what you say."

"...You said that there are also ghosts on our mountain?"

"..."

The sound gradually drifted away, and after the two left, the snake appeared from the darkness.

The words of the two floated in its mind.

It was a little hesitant, wondering if it should enter the village and wander around, looking for its own opportunities.

After listening to the words of the two, the snake grasped a seemingly indistinct inspiration.

After thinking for a moment, the snake gave up the idea.

It has too deep a grievance with Li Jiawan, and it is not too much to say that it is a bloody enmity.

If you get entangled with it, you will inevitably have endless troubles.

There is still time, it can continue to search.

In the dark night, the snake swung its body and headed north.

On the fourth day, nothing happened.

On the fifth day, all the way was smooth.

At this time, Snake faintly felt regret in his heart.

Because of that fatal snowfall, it came quietly.

But it has no chance to return to Lijiawan.

On the eighteenth day of the winter month, goose feather snowflakes fell from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the snake was covered in white snow.

Pieces of snow crystals fell from the sky, which was innumerable and helpless.

The snake's body gradually stiffened, and its consciousness became dim in despair.

"..."

This time, however, there seemed to be some slight changes.

In the chaos, the snake felt his body rise into the air, and then entered a warm and closed place.

The snake felt the temperature coming from the surface of the body, and its body gradually recovered under the nourishment.

After an unknown period of time, the snake regained its ability to think and act.

But it did not act rashly.

Because it realized that it was carried into the arms of a person.

The man walked back to his house after walking for a long time, and ran into his daughter.

"...Father, what are you carrying in your arms?"

"Oh! I came back from the market and found a frozen snake on the side of the road. It was so pitiful, so I brought it back."

"..."

The snake heard the little girl's footsteps retreating in panic.

After a while, the girl regained her composure:

"Father, have you ever heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"

The man scratched his head:

"What's that?"

The girl continued:

"In a cold winter, a farmer met a frozen snake on his way home from the market. He took pity on the snake and put the snake in his arms. When the heat from his body warmed the snake, the snake quickly Woke up, and revealed its cruel nature, and fatally wounded the farmer, it bit the farmer!"

The girl's voice was very calm, with a hint of warning:

"Before he died, the farmer sighed: I actually saved a poor poisonous snake, and I should suffer such retribution!"

The snake didn't like this story, it felt that the man's body became slightly stiff.

At this moment, it already understands that it was rescued from the winter snow by a farmer.

What a strange man, thought the snake.

It has encountered many people over the years, greedy, fearful, cruel, and terrible.

Only I haven't met anyone who can put a snake on his chest.

Just when it was full of thoughts, the snake was stunned for a while, and suddenly became ecstatic.
