Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 6 The sun and moon ooze
Liu Qing did not choose to enter through the fish's mouth, but through the anus, more for safety reasons.

Although the grass carp was dying, it still had the strength to fight. If the green willow got in through its mouth, it only needed to close its mouth.
The rough upper jaw and the hard fish stone on the lower jaw would definitely be too much for Liu Qing to bear.

Entering through the anus is not only a little dirty, but also safer. Moreover, Liu Qing's body is only as thick as a chopstick, which is just enough to pass through.

So Liu Qing got into the fish's belly and ate it heartily, which accelerated the grass carp's death.

After the grass carp died, they began to tear it apart from the belly, and took the fish meat they bit off back to the nest again and again. After more than half an hour,
Liu Qing had almost torn off the entire grass carp's flesh and dragged it into the nest, leaving only the fish head and bones behind, telling of the cruelty of nature.

Despite having this reserve of fish, Liu Qing still frantically stockpiled food based on the daily intelligence.

[Today's intelligence: Level white. There's a nest of newly hatched magpies in the old locust tree on the shore. They're delicious and juicy. You can go there at night.]

[Today's intelligence: Level White. Last night's strong winds blew down many mulberries from a mulberry tree on the shore. They are sweet and delicious.]

According to the intelligence, Liu Qing dragged each kind of food back to the nest one by one like a hardworking bee.

Although he had entered the blindfold period and was seeing less and less, his movements were not affected by his snake core's perception.

Since the food they brought back could not be eaten all at once, Liu Qing came up with another idea: he spread it on the bluestone and dried it in the sun.

Looking at the entire pond, only Liu Qing, who has human thinking, could think of such an operation.

On the fourth day, Liu Qing suddenly felt his eyes light up, and he knew that the blindfold period was over.

But what followed was an extremely severe itch all over the body, and I wished I could tear a piece of flesh off my body to stop the itch.

The molting period is coming.

The sun rises high, dispelling the coolness of the morning and evening. The scorching heat forces the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the pond to hide in the shade.

The breeze creates ripples on the water surface, and the ripples move the lotus flowers and lotus pods, making rustling sounds.

Liu Qing took the opportunity to get out of the bluestone space and desperately rubbed his body against the stone wall that was scorched by the sun.

His snake body stretched and retracted, his scales opened and closed violently, and the strange itch all over his body made him tightly wrap around the protruding tiny bluestone particles.
He made a slight snake sound, raised his head towards the sun, his vertical snake pupils filled with determination, and then he rubbed and pulled frantically.

After many times, the raised bluestone particles finally wore through the surface of the body.

There was a faint clicking sound under Liu Qing's mouth, and a cut was torn open.

Liu Qing took a breath for a moment, recovered some strength, struggled hard, and got his whole body out.

A white snake skin was left in its place.

Liu Qing looked back and saw that his body had grown from about half a foot to nearly a foot.
The thickness of the body also changes from chopsticks to fingers.

The whole body is covered with dense blue-gray scales, with a circle of black lines on the neck, a slightly yellowish-white abdomen, an oval head, and a slender and slightly flat tail.

A pair of dim vertical pupils revealed a cold and vicious look.

Liu Qing felt relieved, and finally succeeded in shedding his skin.

Shed the old self and embraced the new.

At this point, half of the physiological activities of snakes during the entire molting period have been completed. The remaining half is to ensure survival during the weak period after molting.

It is known that after crustaceans and snakes shed their old skin, the new scales they grow are very tender and cannot withstand the slightest impact or tearing.

This process takes three to five days for the new scales to become hard. During this time, the fish must avoid going out, escape attacks from other creatures, and have enough food to survive.

In nature, only one or two out of ten of these creatures can survive the weakening period after molting or shedding their shells.

Just like the crab that had shed its shell, it was picked up and eaten by Liu Qing, which shows the cruelty of the wild.

Fortunately, Liu Qing was well prepared for this.

Liu Qing slowly crawled towards the bluestone space. The hard particles under his body made him feel excruciating pain every time his scales contracted.

Liu Qing struggled to climb into the nest, and hurriedly put out the stored mulberry fruits, dried magpie chicks, and dried grass carp meat.

He swallowed it whole, then rolled it up and finally felt completely at ease.

When food enters the stomach, the Swallowing Elephant's talent digests it quickly, transferring the energy in the food to various parts of the body, especially the scales on the surface, causing them to harden quickly.

The foot-long body coiled up into a snake pile, with two more circles than before. The body, which was as thick as a finger, contained considerable power.
Two of the fleshy barbs on the upper and lower jaws grew into fangs, which were curved, conical in shape and had sharp ends.

Liu Qing looked at his body and became much more confident. The body that had grown bigger after molting was enough to ensure that he could ignore many creatures in the pond.

Sleepiness gradually came over him, Liu Qing slowly closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

Boom——

Suddenly, a sudden thunder woke up Liu Qing, who had been sleeping for who knows how long. Then the sky became dark and gloomy, and the sun and the moon appeared at the same time. The next moment, countless raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky and landed in the pond.

[Today's Intelligence: Level White, on the first day of the lunar month, Moon God Wangshu and Sun God Fuguang met. The interaction between the sun and the moon gave birth to a flowing liquid, a celestial spirit of inferior rank, containing the weakened source of heaven and earth. A drop happened to fall onto a bluestone. It can be swallowed quickly, but after a quarter of an hour, the source of energy will dissipate.]

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

This is the second time that Daily Intelligence has mentioned a spiritual object. The last time was He Zhen, and this time it is Tian Ling.

Although they are called differently and are of inferior grades, it is still a rare opportunity for an ordinary water snake.

Liu Qing did not dare to delay. He endured the pain of his new and delicate scales rubbing against the ground, slowly moved his body, and crawled out of the bluestone space.

The bean-sized raindrops hit his body, and the pain all over his body rushed into his mind, almost drowning Liu Qing's mind.
But his desire for opportunity made him endure the pain and still climb towards the top of the bluestone with determination.

Finally climbed to the top of the bluestone.

Liu Qing raised his head slightly, and in his blurred vision, a drop of jelly-like rain, emitting a gorgeous mist, appeared.
In Snake Core's perception, these jelly-like raindrops were gushing out a fiery red color!
The heavy rain washed away the unique fragrance of the Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid, and it has not attracted any other creatures yet.

Liu Qing did not dare to delay. He meandered closer, opened his mouth and swallowed the Sun and Moon Liquid. Then, he endured the pain and quickly crawled back to the bluestone cave before he felt relieved.
