Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 9 Red Intelligence
Do you desire immortality?
Transforming from an ordinary animal to a demon, the lifespan gradually breaks the inherent racial destiny. This is immortality.

After Liu Qing saw the old eel and the red carp, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Having awakened two bloodline talents one after another, and gradually coming to the top of the food chain, Liu Qing was complacent.
The scene I saw last night completely shattered my mood.

The lifespan of a water snake in the wild is only seven or eight years, how could it satisfy Liu Qing's human desire for immortality?

To transcend the mortal world, to transform into a demon, to achieve immortality!
Liu Qing set a goal for himself in his heart.

Liu Qing, who had not slept all night, was still in high spirits. He crawled out of the bluestone space, ready to feel the beauty that life brought.

It was cloudy this morning, with the sun hidden behind thick clouds.

There seemed to be a sense of oppression as if a heavy rain was about to come. There was no wind and it was very quiet. In the pond, numerous black carp, grass carp and silver carp emerged from the water and floated to the surface, revealing their mouths, which opened and closed, swallowing air to relieve the stuffiness in their bodies.

Liu Qing chose a shallow area, where algae grew lushly, and waited quietly.

The big fish float in the center of the deep pond, while the shallow water here is the favorite feeding place of the small herbivorous fish.

It is also very close to the large bluestone, so it can return to its nest at the fastest speed after hunting.

Ever since he learned that there was a river monster in the pond, Liu Qing's confidence, which had just swelled up, disappeared completely, and he became more cautious in everything he did.

You know, the carp and the old eel monster also need to eat, and they dare not be swallowed by others.

In the clear water, the algae swayed.

A small grass carp, about the length of a chopstick and the thickness of two fingers, swam towards this side.

The grass carp was very cautious. It swam around the algae several times at first, but it couldn't resist the temptation of the algae. It opened its mouth, bit a piece of algae leaf and swallowed it.

The green willow hides in the algae, and its blue-gray snake scales are its natural protective color. Blending in the algae, it looks like a bald algae or a fallen branch, and does not arouse the vigilance of the little grass carp.

After taking a bite, the little grass carp saw that there was no predator, so it plucked up its courage, swam into the algae, and began to devour the food mouthful by mouthful.

Liu Qing slowly bent his body, raised his head, and the next moment, he suddenly jumped out like an arrow from a string.
It came to the side of the little grass carp, then quickly swung its tail, knocking the little grass carp unconscious before it could react.

The little grass carp's head turned into a paste, its vitality quickly dissipated, and its body flipped over, floating up with its belly facing upwards.

The willow snake's tail rolled up, wrapping the small grass carp, and its upper and lower jaws opened wide, biting the fish's head with its hook-like fangs.
The retrograde tissue in the mouth rubs against the slippery fish head, causing it to slide into the stomach.

The body, which was originally as thick as a finger, immediately doubled in size, and its yellow-white abdomen was almost stretched transparent.

Liu Qing slowly swung his tail and emerged from the algae, wanting to return to the bluestone space.

However, after swallowing a small grass carp, its body was stretched so much that it could not fit into the tiny hole and got stuck halfway.

Liu Qing's scales retracted and mucus was secreted from its body surface, allowing its stuck body to slide out.

It seems that as I grow up rapidly, the passage in and out of the bluestone space becomes narrower and narrower.

Abandon this nest and find another one?
But looking at the entire pond, where can you find a better nest than the big bluestone? There is enough space inside, but the entrance and exit passage is a bit narrow. You have to find a way to expand the passage.

Liu Qing returned to the algae bush, and his innate swallowing ability took effect quickly, digesting the small grass carp.

After more than half an hour, the grass carp was digested and Liu Qing returned to the nest to catch up on some sleep.

Eating well, drinking well, and getting enough sleep—this is the secret to a snake's ability to live to its fullest potential. [Today's Intelligence: Level Red, second day of the Lunar New Year, beginning of the Hour of the Rooster, the Emei Moon is newly risen, its soft moonlight bathing the earth. The carp and eel have unexpectedly discovered a method to inhale and exhale the moonlight. This technique can be imitated and transformed into a demon.]

Liu Qing had just woken up, and his sleepy eyes were immediately awakened by this information!
The first time the red intelligence appeared, it brought such shocking news. Imitating the carp and eel's method of swallowing the moonlight,
Can you transform from a mortal into a demon?
Once it transforms into a demon, it can change the lifespan of the original water snake and take the first step towards immortality.

The water snake's peanut-sized heart contracted and beat violently under the drive of Liu Qing's human excited thinking.

This red-level intelligence content made Liu Qing's entire day boring.

He went out hunting twice as a routine, swallowing a mullet and a frog to satisfy the basic consumption of his innate elephant-swallowing ability, and then he finished the hunt and waited for nightfall.

at last,

A crescent moon, as small as the eyebrows of a young girl, appeared in the western sky, emitting a faint silver-white light.

Liu Qing crawled out of the bluestone space, wrapped his tail around a water celery, floated on the water, raised his head slightly, and covered his head with a cluster of duckweed as camouflage, waiting nervously.

The next moment, there was a splash, and a three-foot-long red carp jumped out from the water in the middle of the pond.

Opposite Liu Qing, in the mud on the westernmost bank of the pond, an old eel as thick as an arm and more than two meters long also emerged.

A carp and an old eel raised their bodies and headed straight towards the crescent moon in the western sky, with only their tails touching the water.

“Ka-ka-ka-ka”

"Goo-goo-"

The old eel stuck its mouth at the front end of its body, opening and closing it, making a duck-like sound.

The same was true for the carp. It looked directly at the Emei Moon with its eyes devoutly, and a strange gurgling sound came from its mouth. Its mouth and gills opened and closed at the same time, as if it was swallowing something.

In Liu Qingshexinzi's perception, as the old eel and carp opened and closed their mouths, the red Qi body was swallowed into their mouths, and then the black turbid air was exhaled.

This was just the perception of the snake core. If Liu Qing had human vision, he would be able to see clearly that the silvery-white moonlight was swallowed by the two river monsters, and then they spit out gray-black turbid air, over and over again.

Opportunity.

Breathing.

Liu Qingfu's inspiration came to him, and he also opened his mouth, facing the direction of the Emei Moon, opening and closing his mouth and breathing in and out.

As long as you learn this breathing method, you will have the capital to transform from a mortal into a demon.

Liu Qing opened and closed his mouth again and again, swallowing and spitting.

Unfortunately, She Xinzi did not perceive any red Qi body descending, nor did he feel any strange sensation in his body.

Thinking of the reminder of the intelligence, Liu Qing suppressed his anxious heart, patiently imitated the swallowing and spitting of the carp.

There is no other reason. The old eel is far away, while the carp is close, and the fish have gills to act as a barrier, which allows Liu Qing to observe and imitate more clearly.

Although he possessed human thinking and was patient and no longer anxious, Liu Qing tried for a long time but still failed.
