Chapter 11 Big Mouse
Facing this heavenly power from nature, even Bai Chuan is helpless.
I can only shrink in the tree hole and watch quietly.
He is still not strong enough after all.
God’s will did not follow people’s wishes. The rain lasted for a whole day and night, and it didn’t decrease until midnight.
But Bai Chuan, who had rested for a day, looked at the sky and found that it was still gloomy, and thunder rumbled from time to time.
And the snake letter he swallowed can still feel the extremely humid water vapor in the air.
All this shows that the rain is expected to fall again.
Knowing that this time when the rain stopped, Bai Chuan might be the only chance to go out, so he also left the tree hole and headed for the ground.
Of course, it cannot be said to be the ground now, because after a day and a night of rain, a layer of water more than ten centimeters high has already accumulated on the ground.
This amount of water is already extremely exaggerated. You must know that this is not the city where humans lived in the previous life. Most of the urban water accumulation is caused by the drainage system being too old and not competent.
Fortunately, the impact on Bai Chuan is not too great.
In the dark night, Bai Chuan followed the flow of water all the way forward.
At this moment, perhaps due to the impact of this heavy rain, there are not a few animals with Bai Chuan's thoughts.
So the forest is extremely lively tonight. Slow lorises attack sleeping lizards, porcupines steal jackfruit, hornbills catch snakes and feed young birds, mongooses prey on scorpions...
During this period, Bai Chuan saw a huge and stout boa constrictor of the same kind crawling over on the edge of his territory, as well as an extremely flexible black panther.
However, the two sides just looked at each other and missed each other. It was obvious that the other party avoided. There was no fight during the period, probably because they both knew the other party's danger.
Plus this is his territory, and it's not like there are no other prey at this time, so there's no need to fight each other to the death.
Surviving in the wild, everyone can avoid unnecessary battles.
Along the way, Bai Chuan didn't know what other people of his kind thought, but at this moment he gave up hunting large prey, and only ate various small snakes or frogs.
As for why, of course it is because of his safety awareness. It is well known that snakes are the weakest when they eat, and if they eat too much, their combat effectiveness will decrease.
So, along the way, he climbed up the treetops from time to time, and returned to the ground from time to time, always picking those snakes, frogs, birds, squirrels and the like that were easy to swallow and swallow quickly.
Everything is to maintain his best condition, so that he can eat six to seven percent full in all situations, and this fullness will not make him too bloated.
Soon, he felt that he had almost eaten.
At this time, thunderclaps in the sky became more frequent, and lightning bolts illuminated the entire sky, causing the forest to flicker, like a scene from a horror movie.
Rain, it is estimated that it will start to rain again soon.
And Bai Chuan also embarked on the return journey again.
…
The next day, early morning.
The heavy rain came as expected, and it was accompanied by strong winds.
Big raindrops crackled against the leaves and tree trunks, even though Bai Chuan was huddled in the tree hole, there was some impact.
Fortunately, the tree was big enough, and at the same time, he was alert and directly blocked the entrance of the cave with his own snake body.
I have to say that it is a beautiful thing to have a dry and comfortable environment during heavy rain.
However, the external situation was not good. He vaguely heard the howling and screaming of each other in the storm outside.
Afternoon
"squeak...squeak..."
Bai Chuan suddenly heard a faint call, and he even heard an emotional note in this call, it was the sound of being relieved to be out of danger.
This is?
With some doubts, he retracted his body. The cry was so humane that it made him unconsciously curious, wanting to check if it was his own illusion.
He poked his head out to look out of the cave, only to find that the water level outside now exceeded half the height of the tree he was in.
But at this moment, a big mouse appeared below and above the water surface, clutching the tree trunk tightly, its hair all over its body was wet, and it shivered under the strong wind.
From time to time, it was hit hard by heavy raindrops, but even so, it didn't necessarily make a scream.
This discovery made him feel both shocked and amused, and of course there was a hint of surprise.
What is surprising is that the water level has risen to such a high level? It can already be said to be close to half the height of his tree hole.
What's funny is that the mouse looks so pitiful that he can't help but look at it.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he found out that there were still takeaways delivered to his door.
But as the saying goes, God-given, I dare not resign.
God sent food to the door, how could he, Bai Chuan, waste God's kindness and let this big fat mouse go?
He happened to think that he didn't eat enough.
So he stretched out his head and stretched down.
"Squeak~?! Squeak—"
But what he did made the mouse below tremble with fright, its front paws almost loosened and fell off, and then it hurriedly grabbed it again, letting out the most tragic whine ever.
If it weren't for the fact that its whole body was wet at the moment, Bai Chuan felt that this mouse could even perform a headstand on the spot for him.
In an instant, the mouse was caught in a dilemma.
It looked down at the bottomless deep water below, where the water flow was extremely fast, and it was a dangerous situation that it had just managed to get out of after going through untold hardships.
looked up again, and there was a huge snake approaching, just the terrifying snake kiss could make it jump in fear.
Suddenly, it fell into a tangle, not knowing what to do, so anxious that a big tear came out of its eyes.
Going down is death, and going up is also death. If this mouse knows a little knowledge, it must be able to sigh: Stretching the head is death, retracting the head is death, and it is death anyway. This is God is going to kill me!
Of course, soon it won't be an option.
Because in order to prevent it from escaping, Bai Chuan first slowly stretched out his head and approached step by step. This gave the mouse below a sufficient safe distance, and did not enter its warning distance all at once, forcing it to dive directly.
After he got close enough to be sure, he popped out the snake's head in one breath and bit it.
…
In the lair, Bai Chuan first blocked the only opening of the cave, and then let go of the big rat in his mouth.
Yes, that’s right, he didn’t kill the mouse directly.
As for watching Venom? This is even more impossible. Under normal circumstances, king-eye predators will not inject venom to harmless prey. You must know that toxins are very precious.
As for the reason, Bai Chuan can only say that it might be too boring.
I don’t know when it’s the end of this kind of weather. He huddled here like a snake and didn’t have any entertainment activities. Now he finally met a living creature.
Why kill it in one go when it is guaranteed that it cannot escape?
Anyway, it’s just a little bit of meat, wouldn’t it be better to save it to relieve boredom?
Wait until he is tired, and there is no rush to eat when he is hungry.
