Chapter 3: Snakes and rats do not share the same den
A 1.2-meter-long black snake, Wang Bad Dao still does not know which type of snake he belongs to. However, it is certain that he is a venomous snake, and one of extraordinary toxicity. A single elephant cannot be killed by his venom, but a cow can definitely be incapacitated within ten minutes, while a human can be dealt with in no more than five minutes
At this moment, the woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her teeth chattered in response to the other party, producing a crisp sound of impact
Wang Bad Dao, as before, "waited by the stump for a hare." On the second day, he swallowed a mouse, and on the third day, as his wound had nearly healed, he consumed two mice due to increased vitality. That thread of essence had reached the size of two strands of hair.
Not keeping Wang Badao waiting for long, half an hour later, a fat and large mouse with "thieving eyebrows and rat eyes" crawled into the hole, looking around furtively.
Wang Bad Dao climbed up to the 'peak' on this woman's chest, and upon listening closely, he could still hear a heartbeat. This at least proved that she had not been scared to death, but had merely fainted.
Having swallowed the mouse, Wang Bad Dao returned to the snake den under the bridge to continue his cultivation, having resolved his basic needs. Masters of internal martial arts have a substantial appetite, as refining essence into energy refers to the essence of blood. Due to the consumption of their own essence during cultivation, they must rely on food to replenish their energy
This woman has been so frightened that she is at a loss for words. Wang Bad Dao feels speechless and really wants to say sorry, after all, scaring someone like this could potentially lead to a nervous breakdown
XXX Factory, this is a well-known foreign-funded group in S City, H Province, so does this mean I am still in S City...?
The dark river water had no effect on his vision; exploring with thermal energy was far more reliable than relying on sight alone
It seems that it's time to relocate... However, I truly feel reluctant to leave this place, not only because it is my first nest with the library, but more importantly, this place is hardly disturbed by anyone
After more than ten days of cultivation, Wang Bad Dao's internal energy increased rapidly, reaching the size of five strands of hair. His body length also grew, now approximately 1.35 meters. His serpent body has thickened considerably, appearing less emaciated, and the lost vital blood from his injuries has been replenished.
I swam along the river for a day, making several turns along the way, and I have no idea how far I swam
To be honest, Wang Bad Dao had to muster a lot of resolve to swallow that mouse. The mouse was foul-smelling, unprocessed, and tasted terrible. If it weren't for the unbearable hunger, Wang Bad Dao would have truly preferred not to eat it
It is now night, and Wang Bad Dao swaggered ashore, unafraid of being discovered. Even if an ordinary person were to spot him, generally no one would dare to provoke him; upon seeing him, they would have to make way.
This woman does not have a "fear of snakes phobia", does she
Wang Bad Dao secretly felt fortunate that his snake body was still adaptable to water, and thankfully he was not a dry snake
Suddenly, the woman rolled her eyes and slowly collapsed to the ground
Seeing tourists passing by, Wang Bad Dao did not want to frighten them, so with a soft sound, he slipped into the trash can
After a night of cultivation, Wang Bad Dao had already digested the large rat. For ordinary snakes, a rat of that size would typically take at least a week to digest. However, due to Wang Bad Dao's practice of internal martial arts, his digestive system is more powerful than that of regular snakes, allowing him to digest a large rat in just one night. The essence of a single rat's blood has strengthened his vital energy slightly. What was once the size of half a hair strand has now increased to the size of an ordinary hair strand. The essence of a single rat's blood has strengthened his vital energy slightly. What was once the size of half a hair strand has now increased to the size of an ordinary hair strand.
The view remains a sea of crimson, as if the screen has been stained with fresh blood
Eighty percent of people fear snakes, according to various sources. Moreover, many individuals are blind to the fact that they cannot discern whether a snake is venomous or not.
Wang Bad Dao no longer cared for her; now they were on different paths, like a man and a snake. Moreover, Wang Bad Dao had no way to save her. Was he supposed to perform artificial respiration as a snake? After some effort, he finally found the woman's identification in her handbag. "XXX Factory, Employee Number 584247, Employee Name XXX"
Although it is pleasant under the bridge, the sound of car horns never ceases, day or night. Although snakes have poor hearing, they are indeed quite disturbed by the noise.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard
As soon as he plunged into the trash can, a foul odor immediately assaulted him; this stench was even worse than that of polluted river water, utterly unbearable. Wang Badao had not even spent a second inside before he turned around and leaped out of the trash can.
In the city, simply walking along the road, one can often see rats scurrying past one's feet; this situation is something many people have likely encountered.
Gathering his emotions, a car whizzed by with a whoosh, and Wang Bad Dao swiftly crossed the road like lightning. Standing at about 1.3 meters tall, he moved at an astonishing speed of 2.5 meters per second, making it difficult to see him clearly in the darkness
Upon reaching this thought, Wang Bad Dao could not help but feel a sense of pride; intelligent beings are indeed quite different from mere animals
The frightened woman seemed to suddenly come to her senses. With another piercing scream, she threw her handbag aside and, without knowing where it came from, grabbed a stick and swung it fiercely at Wang Ba Dao. Fortunately, Wang Ba Dao reacted quickly; otherwise, he might have really been in serious trouble.
Sometimes he also doubts that he might be a water snake, but he has not heard of any pure black snake species like himself, and the shape of the snake's head and its markings are also different from those of a water snake
Wang Bad Dao has only one purpose, which is to survive! To live on! As for where he drifts along the river, he does not care. Moreover, he does not dare to wander recklessly; although he wants to gather some information, he is still unsure whether this place is Huaxia. Previously, he was injured, but now that he has recovered, Wang Bad Dao plans to inquire about the situation at night.
Wang Ba Dao does not travel on land, but instead flows into the river, moving downstream, conserving energy whenever possible
In this day and age, it is not easy to be a snake or a human
Ah ... ...
This is a road, devoid of pedestrians, with an occasional car passing by.
Two days have passed
Passing through the grass by the riverbank, listening closely, there were no sounds of car horns; it seemed this place was rather remote, with fewer cars passing by. In a deserted area, Wang Bad Dao was the master. He searched the surroundings and indeed found traces of a mouse. Following the trail, he soon spotted a very fat mouse not far ahead. Before the mouse could react, Wang Bad Dao curved his neck and, with a sudden leap, moved as swiftly as lightning, biting the mouse and coiling his body around it. The mouse, weakened by poison, was twisted into a spiral by Wang Bad Dao, demonstrating the immense strength of his constriction.

The mouse, weakened by poison, was twisted into a spiral by Wang Bad Dao, demonstrating the immense strength of his constriction.
The snake is considered both a natural enemy of the mouse and a 'close relative,' as they both burrow. Wherever the mouse can go, the snake can generally follow, making it futile for the mouse to hide in its burrow. Countless mice have fallen victim to the snake, and naturally, mice are sensitive to the scent of snakes. Thus, upon detecting the smell of a snake, the mouse quickly scurries away.
There is no other way; one can only wait idly for a hare to come by
Wang Bad Dao suddenly leaped out of the trash can, just as the unfortunate woman was passing by, and he directly hung onto her handbag
As a snake, Wang Badiao fulfilled the duties of a serpent very well. In ten days, the number of mice that perished at his jaws reached over fifty or sixty. Within a ten-mile radius, mice were nearly extinct.
Across the street stand towering buildings, brightly lit. Gazing at the familiar structures across the way, Wang Bad Dao feels as if he has been transported to another world. After spending over ten days in a state akin to that of a snake, it seems as though several years have passed. Suddenly, he experiences a sensation akin to seeing the light of day once more
Wang Bad Dao casually strolled around the riverbank and indeed discovered quite a number of mice
I will kill you... don't come over here... ugh...
A quiet night passed by
Although the river is severely polluted, Wang Bad Dao still swims into it, and the nearby rats have basically become extinct. He can only enter the river to hunt for food... Although he seriously doubts whether there are any fish in this river...
Certainly, if someone, having eaten their fill and with nothing to do, decides to swim in such a heavily polluted river, then even Wang Bad Dao would be helpless and would willingly move away.
The fastest crawling snake in the world is the green mamba, which originates from Africa. The green mamba inhabits the forested regions of East and Southern Africa. Although it is not as venomous as the black mamba, its rapid crawling speed makes it even more terrifying than the black mamba. The crawling speed of the green mamba can reach up to 11 kilometers per hour, which means it can cover more than three meters per second, making it the recognized fastest crawling snake in the world.

Ah ... ...
Feeling a surge of strength throughout his body, Wang Bad Dao's mood improved significantly
Wang Bad Dao felt quite helpless, as he was injured and unable to move quickly. When he saw the mouse slip away, he did not dare to chase after it. Otherwise, the wound, which had finally shown some improvement, would reopen.
As the wound has healed, Wang Bad Dao can finally exert his speed. He calculated that he can run 2.5 meters per second. This speed is considered above average among serpents
After a hearty meal, Wang Bad Dao made his way along the road, emerging from the bushes.
It is currently night, the peak activity period for mice. However, as soon as those mice catch a whiff of Wang Bad Dao's scent, they quickly scurry away, leaving Wang Bad Dao with no opportunity to act
However, Wang Bad Dao is capable of achieving a speed of 2.5 meters per second, which is sufficient for him to be proud.
The body of the king cobra has surprisingly grown to 1.2 meters. A length of 1.2 meters is considered medium among ordinary snake species
The long wound has healed a bit more, and I believe it will be almost completely healed within two days... Yes, once it is fully healed, hunting will at least not be so troublesome...
Wang Bad Dao searched up and down in the river but saw not a single hair of fish or shrimp. He cursed under his breath repeatedly
The fate of the mouse is easy to imagine. Wang Bad Dao had a hearty meal, and looking at his round belly, one truly feared it might burst from being so full
After knowing the information he wanted, Wang Bad Dao turned and merged into the darkness
Wang Bad Dao heard a woman's scream, a sound that was very penetrating; she was undoubtedly an expert at singing high notes
It wouldn't scare people to death right after it comes out, would it
At this moment, Wang Bad Dao also disregarded his wounds and quickly moved to block the entrance.
Having been hungry all day, my stomach feels flat from hunger. The snake's head emerges from the water, hissing as it extends its forked tongue, sensing any potential prey in the vicinity.
Wang Badiao resolutely set his mind to it and searched for an hour by the river, finally finding a mouse burrow. He then quietly hid five meters away, waiting for the mouse to eat its fill before returning to the burrow. ... Then he blocked the entrance, ready to catch the "dog" as it came out.
