The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1120: Well-Adapted Water Without Trace

Shui Wuhen was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing that perhaps he and Xiao Han had been tricked by the spirit of the little tower.

Although we don't know what kind of animal Xiao Han has become, judging from his current situation, he must have become a wild beast.

Given Xiao Han's personality, she must be incredibly frustrated and irritable to discover that she has become a wild beast.

Hopefully, she can come to a realization. For them now, once they've figured it out, it doesn't really matter what they become.

Shui Wuhen truly has no irritable, frustrated, or angry emotions.

He was trapped inside a baby girl's body and lived as a woman for a lifetime, so what is there that he can't accept?

Although a deity turning into a beast might cause psychological distress, Shui Wuhen knew that this was merely a trial of the heart in the mortal world.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Shui Wuhen accepted the role of a mountain rat.

Feeling hungry, he carefully crawled out of the cave and looked around at the outside world.

This is a mountain forest, with tall trees overhead.

Although Shui Wuhen felt that if they encountered a large wild beast and were bitten to death, it wouldn't seem like a big deal.

But his body's instincts still made him carefully observe the movements around him.

As I passed a patch of weeds, a large grasshopper was startled and suddenly jumped forward.

Almost instinctively, Shui Wuhen lunged forward and caught the grasshopper in one bite.

But the next moment, he hesitated.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still found it hard to swallow a grasshopper raw.

But he quickly overcame this psychological barrier.

He is now a mountain rat, and he should live according to the habits of a mountain rat.

Grasshoppers are on the mountain rat's menu, so he should happily eat them.

Freed from his psychological burden, Shui Wuhen hid by the bushes and finished the grasshopper in a few bites.

After finishing the meal, well, I still felt a little unsatisfied!

One grasshopper wasn't enough to fill his stomach, so he had to keep looking for food.

Soon, he found another wild fruit that was half rotten.

Shui Wuhen used its claws to paw at the half that wasn't rotten and gnawed it off.

They eat whatever they see: grass seeds, wild fruits, plant roots and stems, grasshoppers, insects, snails, bird eggs, mountain frogs, etc.

After searching the surrounding area for more than an hour, Shui Wuhen felt full and returned to the cave.

After eating and drinking his fill, he began to ponder whether there were any demonic beasts here and whether it was possible to cultivate.

Generally speaking, the biggest difference between demonic beasts and wild beasts is that demonic beasts can cultivate, while wild beasts cannot.

Unlike humans, demonic beasts do not need to learn cultivation methods. Their abilities are innate talents inherited from their bloodlines.

Shui Wuhen is not a true beast, so naturally there are many things he doesn't understand.

As for finding Xiao Han, Shui Wuhen gave up after some thought.

He didn't know which beast's body Xiao Han's soul was inside, so how could he find it?

With his current physique as a mountain rat at the bottom of the food chain, if he were to wander in front of other monsters, he would be nothing more than food.

So he shouldn't mess around anymore.

Now let's talk about Xiao Han.

As the kittens grew bigger, the mother lynx began bringing food back for them.

When the mother lynx brought back a half-eaten shrew, the other three kittens gathered around it.

When they first come into contact with meat, they usually just lick it a little and can't eat much.

Xiao Han refused to even lick it.

She can adapt quickly if you let her nurse from a mother lynx.

Even if you ask her to eat a dead rat, she still can't overcome this psychological barrier in a short time.

The mother lynx didn't notice Xiao Han's reaction; the cubs were still small, and her milk was barely enough to support their needs.

As the babies grow bigger, the milk supply becomes insufficient, and meat will be necessary to supplement it.

As time went by, the kittens grew bigger and bigger.

The female lynx also started bringing food back more frequently.

The female lynx feeds on mountain rats, squirrels, wild rabbits, pheasants, small snakes, and the offspring of other animals.

However, recently, it has only brought back two kinds of food: mountain rats and snakes.

The breast milk was no longer enough to provide the energy needed for growth, but Xiao Han still stubbornly refused to eat.

She knew she was wrong, and she had tried to convince herself to be a happy little lynx and live out her cat life.

But when those dead rats and snakes were placed in front of her, she couldn't bring herself to eat them.

Xiao Han was very sad.

She felt that she was really not a qualified monk.

That day, the mother lynx brought home a golden pheasant.

The mother lynx bit a hole in the pheasant's body and tore off pieces of meat to eat, while the other kittens nearby chewed up the pheasant's feathers and scattered them everywhere.

Xiao Han has taken action this time.

Although the chicken was raw, it was still more psychologically acceptable to her than rat meat.

When the chicken entered her mouth, her body's instincts told her she couldn't taste any fishy smell, only deliciousness.

In fact, it was all due to her psychological influence.

For a lynx, mice are delicious food, and its instincts will not reject them.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After tasting the deliciousness of raw chicken, Xiao Han's psychological aversion decreased a lot.

Gradually, she began to suppress her human thoughts and see herself as a real lynx.

The mother lynx begins teaching her kittens hunting skills, and when they get older, they will leave home to live independently.

Xiao Han has now completely overcome her psychological barrier, and she can now eat any meat that appears on the lynx's menu with great relish.

That day, the mother lynx caught a small bird. Seeing the bird with its head drooping and already dead, Xiao Han thought of croton.

Sigh! I wonder how Croton is doing now!

Xiao Han didn't try to snatch the food from the little bird. Instead, she lay on the side with a melancholy expression, and began to think about leaving the lynx's body again.

Seeing that she wasn't taking the food, the mother lynx worried that something was wrong with her, so she meowed twice and squatted down beside her to lick her fur.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Han crawled under the mother lynx's belly and drank up the last bit of milk.

Nowadays, female lynxes hunt with their kittens.

Xiao Han has also learned hunting skills, but he hasn't been able to catch any prey himself yet.

When the kittens were five months old, the mother lynx finally began to drive them away from her.

Xiao Han didn't want to leave her mother lynx, not because she wanted to sponge off her parents, but because she felt that being a lynx was already pitiful enough, and if she became a lonely lynx, life would be even harder.

Therefore, after her brothers and sisters left the mother lynx one after another, only Xiao Han remained within the mother lynx's territory.

The mother lynx wouldn't let her get any closer and would run away whenever she saw her, but Xiao Han had a way to deal with it.

She decided to hunt to feed the female lynx, and the lynx would surely not drive her away.

Thus began Xiao Han's diligent hunting career.

That day, she caught and killed a large wild rabbit, and immediately carried it back to her den happily.

Seeing the prey in her mouth, the mother lynx did not chase her away.

Xiao Han gave the whole rabbit to the mother cat and went out hunting again.

Because she saw signs of small animals visiting under a wild walnut tree, she decided to lie in ambush there.

Whether it's a squirrel, a mountain mouse, or any other small animal that eats walnuts, they will all become her meal.
