Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 374 New Life [II] (Happy New Year to everyone!)

in situ.

Hu Qi sucked in and out his slender scarlet tongue.

He looked down at me condescendingly.

This experience of becoming an animal was new and novel to him.

Although I had the experience of transforming into a three-eyed snake before, it could not compare to this feeling.

But he didn't have much resistance in his heart.

For Hu Qi, appearance is not important as long as he can survive.

Look at the water.

Hu Qi looked at the mucus on the snake scales of the body again.

Thinking about whether to go in and take a shower.

However, the next moment he had the idea of ​​using water to wash the mucus off his body.

below.

Without warning, a stream of water swirled up from the surface of the water.

Directly wrap Hu Qi's entire snake body tightly.

The water rushed rapidly, constantly washing over the body.

The sticky egg liquid on it was quickly washed away.

Then it was wrapped in mucus, fell into the stream and rushed away.

"Well, this is water control?"

See this.

Hu Qi was a little surprised.

The panel was immediately summoned.

Look at the magical power column.

Just as he expected.

I saw that the words "water control" in the magical power column actually emitted a strong red light.

This means that he can use the magical power condensed from secret martial arts.

This had never happened before.

Only talent can be used by the clone.

Only the original body can use the supernatural powers.

But for Hu Qi, who is at the peak of the apostle level, there is rarely a chance to use his magical powers.

As for facing the White King, even if he uses it, he will not be able to cause any harm to him.

Perhaps it is because this body is his original body, or it is because of Taiyu’s bloodline talent.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for him.

With the ability to control water, he can improve his ability to protect himself in this world in a short period of time.

The only problem is that its power is much less than before.

But this is normal.

Be it supernatural powers or talent.

How much power can it exert.

It is closely related to one's own strength.

It's like giving a child and an adult the same iron rod.

The power that the two can exert is definitely different.

Gululu...

At this moment, a vague feeling of hunger suddenly rose from the abdomen.

After realizing this.

Hu Qi slowly turned his inverted triangle head, and his scarlet vertical pupils looked directly at the snake eggs lying in the corner.

Just when he was thinking about whether to swallow these 'brothers and sisters' to fill his stomach.

Two of the snake eggs suddenly made a slight sound.

Immediately afterwards, two little snakes broke out of their shells, one was fiery red and the other was brilliant golden.

only.

Compared with the Huqi, their size is very small, only thirty or forty centimeters long.

Just a glance.

Hu Qi then separated the two little snakes, the red one was a male and the yellow one was a female.

Snakes have a highly developed sense of smell and can accurately distinguish the gender of their own kind based on chemical pheromones in the air.

Just looking at these two little snakes of different colors.

What made Hu Qi curious was what species the mother snake that laid the eggs was and why the snakes that hatched had different colors.

in situ.

The two little guys were looking at everything around them with their ignorant eyes open, curiously.

Then, he turned his gaze towards where Hu Qi was.

Apparently, they noticed Hu Qi too.

Hu Qi ignored this.

Looking at the remaining snake eggs.

Also gave up the idea of ​​swallowing it.

To be honest, these guys can be considered his brothers and sisters in name only.

Also, it is not that difficult to obtain food.

That's not necessary at all.

Of course, there is another point. He doesn't know what kind of creature the mother snake is. What if it is some monster?

Come back when he devours the snake eggs.

If his bad behavior is discovered and he is hunted down, it will be extremely disadvantageous for him in his current state.

Think about this.

He plunged headfirst into the rushing current.

In an instant, the cold water enveloped its body.

Although the water was fast-flowing, Hu Qi, as a snake with a natural talent for controlling water, felt like a fish in water. Not only did he not feel any hindrance, he felt even more comfortable and relaxed than on land.

After swimming forward for more than ten meters along the rapids.

The water flow rate is gradually slowing down.

The originally dark bottom of the water suddenly brightened.

The mottled sunlight refracts through the water surface, outlining different light and shadows on the bottom of the water.

The water is very clear, and the stones on the bottom of the water are of various shapes, some are smooth and round, some are full of edges and corners, and are covered with furry moss.

Snails can occasionally be seen living in the cracks between the rocks.

And in the water plants in the distance, there was a small silver fish about the length of a thumb.

See this.

Hu Qi opened his snake mouth.

The figure moved, and a body more than one meter long shot out like a black shadow.

The water is surging.

The silver fish, which was originally swimming slowly, seemed to sense the approaching danger.

His body tensed up instantly, his tail swung rapidly, and he wanted to turn around and escape.

However, the body seemed to be bound in place.

Wow!

The water was surging, and traces of scarlet blood were escaping. The small fish that were originally swimming suddenly disappeared.

"Huh? This is..."

Hu Qi, who had just swallowed the small fish, was about to continue looking for other food.

The body suddenly froze in place.

A hint of astonishment flashed in the scarlet snake pupils.

After he swallowed the little fish.

I actually felt that a trace of essence had increased.

This strand of essence is extremely subtle and is almost dispensable for the improvement of his essence.

But Hu Qi still noticed it.

This essence comes from the silver fish.

As powerful as an apostle-level being that can easily destroy a world, or as weak as a bacterium.

All have essence.

Essence is the root of a living being's existence.

The only difference lies in the amount of essence contained.

Before, his soul-devouring talent allowed him to devour everything and turn it into nourishment for himself.

But it is impossible to plunder the essence of living things.

But now, something seems to have changed.

"Is it Taiyu's snake bloodline that caused the Soul Devouring Talent to mutate?"

Just for a moment.

Hu Qi saw why this might have happened.

Then in order to verify whether my guess is true.

Hu Qi continued to move forward, accepting everyone who came.

Be it snails or small fish or shrimps, once he comes across them, he will swallow them all into his stomach.

Snakes' gastric juices are inherently more powerful than humans'.

With the added bonus of his soul-devouring talent, Hu Qi had no worries about not being able to digest it.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was.

Some of these organisms are small.

Fortunately, the number of creatures inside is still quite abundant.

This stream is only about five or six meters wide.

With Hu Qi's size and talent for water control, there is almost no one who can compete with him.

After a while, Hu Qi swam comfortably in the water and filled his stomach.

Hu Qi also stopped.

Now he was completely sure of his previous guess. After devouring a living creature, he could indeed plunder its essence and enter his body.

If he continued like this, his essence would increase, his divinity would be condensed, and his ascension to the throne of true God would be just around the corner.

It's just a pity.

These creatures were too weak. Even if he ate tens of thousands of them, the improvement he would get would be minimal.

Later, when your strength increases, you may be able to hunt some larger creatures, or even try to hunt some monsters that have cultivated into spirits.

Push your thoughts down.

His inverted triangle snake head broke out of the water, and water droplets slid down its smooth scales.

Half of Hu Qi's head emerged from the water, his scarlet vertical pupils moved, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.

Generally speaking, the vision of ordinary snakes can see about 2-5 meters away.

But he is different. He is not restricted by this at all and can see very far.

What comes into view is a deep green valley filled with moist vapor, and a sense of tranquility that is isolated from the world.

In the distance, several brown-furred fawns were leisurely drinking water by the stream.

Their ears move from time to time, alert to the movements around them.

At this time.

Hu Qi seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the sky.

I only saw the sky above.

Three huge suns hung high in the sky, emitting blazing light.

This scene is very strange.

But he didn't stay for long.

After some simple observation, Hu Qi did not choose to venture out into the outside world.

He dived back into the water.

Following the same route, they soon returned to the deep and dark cave.

This cave is hidden and can be used as a temporary hiding place.

According to the information provided by the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman, there should be immortal beings in this world who can truly achieve immortality.

When you are weak, you still need to survive for a while.

He still remembers clearly how he was crushed by the White King.

Immortal beings may be no different from true gods.

It's simply not something he can fight against now.

Think of the White King.

A cold murderous intent flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

If there was no Taiyu Snake bloodline.

I’m afraid that this time I’m going to die for real.

The terror of the true God is simply invincible.

The gap between the two is like a chasm.

Wanting to defeat the true God with the apostle level is nothing but a foolish dream.

However, he will settle this account with the other party sooner or later.

Kaka...

Just then, a slight sound of eggshell breaking was heard.

Hu Qi took a look at the situation inside the cave.

I saw that the two little snakes that had hatched earlier had broken the remaining eggs and were swallowing the egg liquid and eggshells.

However, no other baby snakes were seen.

Apparently, only three of them survived from this nest of snake eggs.

As for the other snake eggs, they are all dead eggs.

Just a glance.

Hu Qi didn't interfere.

He coiled up.

Although using the soul-devouring talent can gather the surrounding spiritual energy.

But since there are monsters in this world, ordinary creatures naturally have the opportunity to practice.

The only way is through breathing.

Absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

So he thought about giving it a try.

Think about this.

He remained calm and composed.

Begin to control your breathing.

With the blessing of the soul-devouring talent.

Suddenly.

Spiritual energy that could not be captured by the naked eye surged in from all around and entered his mouth and nose.

The spiritual energy gathered and turned into a thin, misty vapor that swirled around his body, appearing extremely strange.

The other two little snakes saw this.

There was a hint of desire in the snake's eyes.

Reiki exists as a higher level of energy.

It is of great benefit to organisms.

Out of the desire instinct emanating from the body.

They twisted their slender bodies and swam slowly.

however.

Just when they were half a meter away from Hu Qi.

Hu Qi's eyes, which were originally slightly closed, suddenly opened.

There was a "pop" sound.

The tail flicked and flashed across like lightning.

So fast that it is almost impossible to catch its trace.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp explosion suddenly sounded in the silent space.

The two little snakes didn't even have time to react, and were blown away by a powerful force like kites with broken strings.

They drew two arcs in the air and slammed heavily on the stone wall on one side, making a dull sound.

Dust fell on the stone wall.

The two little snakes lay limply on the ground, not moving for a long time.

After a while, he shook his head and got up.

However, when looking towards the direction where Hu Qi was.

There was a hint of anthropomorphic fear in his eyes.

He didn't dare to get closer to Hu Qi.

I only dare to hide in the corner of the cave.

He looked in the direction of Hu Qi from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.

After blowing the two little guys away with one tail, Hu Qi continued to breathe.

Although he has the blood of Taiyu Snake.

But it can't be achieved overnight.

This requires a long period of growth.

What he needs to do is to speed up this process.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

The light in the mountain alternated between bright and dim, and dim and bright again, fifteen times.

In the cave.

A faint 'hissing' sound echoed.

Following the sound, I saw a huge black snake coiled there, about three or four meters long.

The scales all over its body are as black as ink, so black that they seem to be able to swallow up all the light in the world, giving people a bottomless feeling of oppression.

now.

The black snake held its head high, its mouth half open, and its scarlet tongue moved in and out, making strange noises.

Just listening to it makes one's scalp tingle.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the movement of the snake's tongue is not random and irregular, but contains a certain specific frequency.

Every time he inhaled and exhaled, a wisp of spiritual energy flowed into his body.

wow-

At this moment, the flowing water in the distance suddenly splashed.

Immediately afterwards, two small snakes, one red and one yellow, quickly crawled out of the water on one side.

Today, the two little snakes are nearly one meter long.

It looks like it should be a python.

There are no fangs in their respective mouths.

However, the absence of fangs does not mean the absence of teeth.

The python's teeth grow inwards, and the total number of teeth can be as high as nearly a hundred.

Like a hook, when it bites the prey, it is convenient to swallow it into the mouth. The more the prey struggles, the tighter the hook becomes. Therefore, it is generally difficult to escape once bitten by a python.

As for Hu Qi, it is different. The characteristics of both python and poisonous snake can be seen in him.

now.

The two little snakes, named Ah Huang and Ah Hong by Hu Qi, each held a living creature in their mouths.

A red-tailed silverfish that is still struggling and twisting, trying to break free from its restraints.

And a fist-sized crab that was constantly waving its claws.

Ah Huang and Ah Hong are holding food in their mouths.

He quickly came to Hu Qi's side and gently put down what was in his mouth.

Then they opened their mouths and made the same hissing sound.

Then he lowered his head to the ground, wagging his tail like a puppy, as if trying to please Hu Qi.
