Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 7 Talented Tail Whip
Like green beans just peeled from the pod, they tremble and emit a brilliant glow. They are smooth in the mouth and leave a lingering fragrance.

In just a moment, the source of energy of heaven and earth in the panel increased by 4 points.

Should I continue to improve the growth of the existing talent, Swallowing Elephant, or unlock a new bloodline talent?
Humanistic thoughts emerged in Liu Qing's vertical snake pupils.

The entry-level Elephant Swallowing talent is currently sufficient for my own use, so I don't have to worry about its inefficient digestion and absorption of food.

Instead, they worry about not being able to find enough food and run around.

Then, unlocking new bloodline talents is the most appropriate option for the current situation.

"Yes, consume the source of heaven and earth to unlock new bloodline talents!"

Liu Qing responded in his heart.

The next moment, the source of heaven and earth on the panel disappeared, and a cool gas suddenly appeared in the tail area.

Starting from the snake hole in the abdomen to the slender tip, in this snake tail area of ​​about three to five inches, the cool air quickly cruises back and forth,
Suddenly, the cool air spread out and penetrated into the snake's tail. Then, the entire tail became as hot as if it were burned by fire.

This burning sensation lasted for half an hour before it disappeared.

Liu Qing spat out the snake core weakly and breathed slowly. The burning from the snake's tail just now made him almost excruciatingly painful.

This time, the process of unlocking the bloodline talent not only lasted longer than the first time, but was also extremely painful.
This made Liu Qing excited. After such great difficulty, what kind of bloodline talent could he unlock?
[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Water Snake]

[Bloodline Talent: 1 Swallow Elephant (Beginner); 2 Tail Whip (Beginner)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 0 points]

[Talent Tail Whip: This talent originates from the common knowledge of snakes. It can transform the snake's tail into a whip to attack the enemy. The more it grows, the more powerful it becomes.]

Starting from the snake hole in the abdomen, the entire snake tail, which is about three to five inches long, has become more flexible, the muscles are full of toughness, and it has a faint iron luster.

Liu Qing had an idea and raised the snake's tail high, then swung it hard. With a crisp sound, wet mud was splashed on the bluestone under him, and a shallow dent appeared faintly on the stone wall under the wet mud.

Liu Qing was suddenly ecstatic.

This entry-level whip-swinging talent is so powerful. If it was not a bluestone but a fish or shrimp that was whipped just now, I think it would have been cut in half with one blow.

Now, with the whip-lashing talent, his attacking ability increased several times. Looking across the entire pond, ordinary fish and shrimps were no match for him.

The ability to survive has been greatly increased.

After trying out his new talent, Liu Qing was in great spirits. Naturally, his appetite was strong when he was in a good mood. He swam to the corner where the food was stored and ate it all up.

With the talent of swallowing elephants, the food eaten is digested quickly, and after digestion, it can continue to swallow food.

In just one night, Liu Qing's new scales hardened quickly, and he no longer felt the pain of the friction from the stones when crawling.

For ordinary wild snakes, the weakening period after molting lasts at least three to five days, but Liu Qing has the talent of swallowing elephants, so he got through the weakening period in just one night.

The sun and the moon alternate, the sun rises, and a new day arrives.

After a satisfying defecation, Liu Qing slowly crawled out of the bluestone space.

He coiled on top of the bluestone, letting the sunlight shine on his body to dispel the coldness in his body. Gradually, his somewhat stiff body became agile under the scorching sun.

There was no food in the stomach any longer, and new prey was needed to fill the stomach. Although there was a reserve in the bluestone space, the cave was damp, and even though it had been exposed to the sun, it was still moldy.

Besides, now that he has passed the period of weakness and has unlocked new talents, Liu Qing’s confidence has increased greatly. How could he be willing to eat stale food again?
Eat fresh food.

A gentle breeze blew across the pond.

The fresh fragrance of lotus pods, the sweet aroma of water chestnuts, and the stench stirred up by the waves hitting the mud on the shore all entered the vomeronasal organ in his nasal cavity.

Liu Qing spit out the snake core slowly, and among so many smells, he could clearly distinguish the temptation emanating from the prey.

A crab as big as a bowl, with a ball of algae on its head, crawled past in front of him, waving a pair of large claws demonstratively and spitting a string of bubbles from its mouth in disdain.

Liu Qing sneered in his heart, is your crab shell harder than bluestone?

If it hadn't been for Gu Nian hunting you, you might have been hurt by its pincers. Believe it or not, it would have whipped you away with its tail!
The most important thing is, you silly crab, you have such a big body but very little meat, and you are a male crab.

It's not worth the risk of hunting you down.

The crab walked over proudly and dived towards the lotus roots under the lotus bushes. After a while, a fat willow root fish swam over.

It has dark brown scales dotted with white spots, a plump body, and is swinging its tail with great effort, chasing a water turtle with its mouth open.

Liu Qing's mind moved, and he activated his tail whip talent. The three or five inch snake tail was raised high, and the next moment, it was whipped down fiercely.

There was a crisp sound, water splashed, and the willow root fish floated up with its belly turned up.

Due to the resistance of the water, Liu Qing's whip was only enough to knock the willow root fish unconscious. Liu Qing took note that when he used this whipping talent in the future, the force in the water would be more than half that of the force outside the water.

It seems that I should be more cautious when facing large fish and turtles when hunting in the water in the future.

Liu Qing opened his mouth, bit the head of the willow root fish, raised his neck and swallowed it.

As the thumb-thick, three to five-inch long willow root fish entered Liu Qing's stomach, her slender body became round.

Perhaps because of a drastic change in his strength, Liu Qing became much more confident. After eating this time, he was greedy for the warmth of the sun and did not return to the bluestone space immediately.

He didn't curl up, but stretched his body as much as possible to enjoy the sunlight to the maximum extent.

The sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, the lotus pods are tapping against the lotus leaves, the frogs are whistling, and the cicadas are singing high notes in accompaniment.
Liu Qing spat out the snake core from time to time, like an old man sitting idly at the entrance of the village in the afternoon, enjoying a comfortable life after being well fed and warmly clothed.

But this comfort was abruptly broken by a rustling sound.

A rat snake about two feet long and as thick as a child's arm quietly slithered its colorful body towards Liu Qing.

It swallowed and spit out its snake core rapidly, and its vertical snake pupils were full of desire for food.

Friends who often watch Animal World know that this rat snake is known as the killer of all snakes. No matter whether it is poisonous or non-venomous, once it encounters it, it will not escape the tragic fate of being eaten by it.

When Liu Qing saw the rat snake approaching, he became frightened due to his instinctive fear.

The hooked fangs, the short and thick body twice as big as himself, and the restraint from the natural enemy, all turned into a murderous intent that enveloped Liu Qing.

The rat snake's upper body suddenly stood up, its slender neck stretched into a flat shape, it lowered its head, revealing its fangs, and bit towards Liu Qing fiercely.
