Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 375 New Life [Part ] (Happy New Year's Eve)
As early as after the two appeared.

Hu Qi stopped breathing.

He leaned over, opened and closed his mouth, and swallowed the food presented by the two little snakes in one gulp.

Then he casually swung his thick tail and patted the heads of the two little snakes.

To show encouragement.

Then he immersed himself in his own cultivation.

In this case.

The two little snakes seemed to have gotten used to it and quietly retreated to a meter away, imitating Hu Qi's behavior.

Coil your body in circles and raise your head.

He thrust his long tongue in and out, clumsily but diligently imitating Hu Qi's movements of absorbing spiritual energy.

Their frequencies are chaotic and far inferior to Hu Qi's smoothness.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy gathered by Hu Qi's soul-devouring talent was like an invisible energy vortex. Even if the spiritual energy was only one meter away, it benefited the two little snakes greatly.

It may be that when it was in the snake egg, his soul-devouring talent began to absorb spiritual energy.

The two little snakes next to him also benefited from this, which made them quite intelligent, comparable to five or six-year-old children.

Before, the snake eggs in the cave were eaten.

The two little snakes had no food, so they began to imitate Hu Qi's behavior and actively dived into the water to look for food.

Thanks to their bodies nourished by some spiritual energy, and the fact that the two of them almost always hunt together.

Every time I go out, I gain a lot.

Behind.

Every time the two little guys came back, they would present Hu Qi with the prey they had captured.

In this cruel world, the law of the jungle is the unchanging law.

This is something that is engraved in the bones of all living things.

Understand that only by relying on the strong can you have the possibility of survival.

Among the three, Hu Qi is undoubtedly the strongest.

For this situation to happen.

Hu Qi did not refuse either.

Just think of these two little snakes staying here to keep him company and entertain him.

But, in these few days.

The mother snake that laid these eggs has never appeared.

It seemed as if they had been completely abandoned long ago.

But this is normal.

Different species of snakes behave differently after laying eggs; some will take care of them and some won't.

Some snakes will protect their eggs after laying them.

For example, it coils its body around the eggs and raises its body temperature through rhythmic muscle contractions, providing a suitable temperature environment for the hatching of the snake eggs, promoting hatching, and protecting the eggs from external threats.

However, there are some female snakes that usually lay their eggs in hidden places, such as grass, caves, piles of rotten leaves, etc.

They use the temperature and humidity of the natural environment to incubate the eggs, and leave after laying them without taking any care of them.

Look at your surroundings.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the latter.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the female snake encountered an accident and died outside.

These thoughts just flashed through his mind.

It didn't matter to him whether the mother snake appeared or not.

He inhaled and exhaled spiritual energy.

While checking the condition of the body.

down these days.

Every day when Hu Qi was hungry, he would dive into the water to look for food.

The rest of the time is spent absorbing spiritual energy and nourishing the body.

It only took a few days.

It has greatly increased his body strength, and his tendons, bones and skin have become tougher.

And, after a few days of exploration.

Let him summarize a set of the most effective breathing techniques to inhale and exhale spiritual energy.

It can improve the efficiency by nearly 30% under normal conditions.

Unfortunately, this method can only be regarded as some techniques.

There is no skill formed on the panel.

Therefore, no additional points can be added.

After such a long time.

He also had a basic understanding of the scarlet panel.

this circumstance occurs.

It may be because he himself lacks knowledge of the cultivation system and methods of this world.

Besides.

Recently, he felt a little itchy in his body.

Hu Qi felt something.

It must be time to shed its skin.

Shedding is extremely important for snakes.

The most important of these is to promote growth.

Snake skin is not elastic like human skin, but is relatively tough with limited extensibility.

As a snake grows, its body continues to grow larger and thicker, and the old skin will restrict its growth.

Shedding allows snakes to get rid of the constraints of old skin, provide space for further growth, and enable the body to develop normally.

The second is to repair the damage.

Because of the habits of snakes.

In daily activities, the skin will inevitably suffer various injuries, such as being scratched by tree branches, fighting with other animals, etc.

Shedding can replace the damaged skin, and the newly grown skin can better protect the snake's body, reduce the damage to the body by external factors, and reduce the risk of infection.

Generally speaking, young snakes shed their skin most frequently.

It will shed about once every few months.

And after adulthood.

The time it takes for a molt will be relatively extended to several years.

Only half a month has passed since Hu Qi was born.

The reason for this is obviously that he is growing too fast.

……

A few more days passed.

It was very quiet in the cave.

Only the slightest rustling sound echoed in the dim cave.

now.

A giant black snake, about five or six meters long, was lurking deep in the cave.

Its body was tightly pressed against the rough wall of the cave, twisting constantly as if trying to break free from some invisible restraints.

The head of the huge black snake rubbed repeatedly on a protruding rock.

Finally, a cut was made on the old skin of the neck.

The body trembled slightly, and the old skin gradually peeled off from the head, revealing new, glowing scales.

Its movements became faster and faster, and the old skin was like a piece of rag being removed, sliding backwards continuously as it twisted.

The sound of snake scales rubbing against the cave wall was particularly clear in the silent cave.

It didn't take long.

The snake skin fell off.

A snake of even larger size emerged from it.

This snake was Hu Qi who had just finished shedding his skin.

Sensing the situation inside the body.

now.

In his body, near the spine in the abdomen.

There is an additional thin gray-black thread.

Be aware of this.

There was an extremely anthropomorphic look of surprise on Hu Qi's snake face.

"This should be the so-called demonic power..."

According to the information feedback from the Taichu Demon Refining Talisman.

Hu Qi was not completely ignorant of this world.

The demonic power here is a special energy stored in the bodies of various monsters.

Similar to the magic power of immortal cultivators.

It can be used to improve the physical quality of monsters.

It gives it strength, speed, endurance, etc. that surpass ordinary creatures.

Can also perform various magic techniques.

Only when the demonic power is condensed can it be said that this creature has entered the ranks of monsters.

Ordinary creatures want to take this step.

At least it should be calculated in units of ten years.

Qualification is one aspect.

What's more important is.

For ordinary creatures, their intelligence is lower than that of humans.

The most important thing about them is that they open your mind.

Only with sufficient wisdom can one consciously breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Moreover, other creatures, due to their wild nature, simply cannot calm down and practice breathing for a long time.

It's like asking poor students to study.

He knew that studying hard could improve his grades, but unfortunately he just couldn't calm down.

Generally, they fish for three days and dry the nets for two days.

This is why ordinary creatures need to accumulate magic power over time before it can be generated in their bodies.

of course.

There are also some lucky little ones among them who can get through this process as quickly as possible by taking some rare treasures.

Or perhaps some descendants of powerful demons with a strong following can directly condense their demonic power.

To be honest, Hu Qi's Taiyu Snake bloodline is even more terrifying than those so-called descendants of great demons.

Logically speaking, he should have been able to skip this step long ago and directly condense the demonic power.

But in fact it is not the case.

He had a premonition.

Although Taiyu's snake bloodline is lurking in his body, this body is too weak.

It has not yet been fully stimulated.

When his strength reaches a certain limit, he may reveal the horror of Taiyu Holding the Snake.

after that.

Hu Qi took a quick look at his body.

There have been significant changes compared to before.

The biggest difference is that its body length reaches about ten meters.

Ten meters, when converted, is roughly equivalent to a three-story building.

The snake's body became thicker, almost reaching half a meter.

The originally inky black snake scales became even darker in color.

Moreover, there is a small white dot in the center of each snake scale.

At first glance, it looks like a densely packed collection of small white eyes.

It looks extremely weird.

I recalled the scene I saw before about Taiyu holding a snake in his mouth.

Its body seemed to be deathly pale.

Now white spots appear on the scales of the body, which means that the Taiyu Snake bloodline in the body has begun to grow because of this shedding.

It will increase with the passage of time and the growth of one's own strength.

Replace the blood of ordinary snakes in the body.

Moved slightly.

The body made a slight sound when it touched the surrounding cave walls.

The cave, which was originally quite spacious, has grown to its current size as the body has grown.

It has become a little narrow and closed.

"It seems that we need to change places, or leave this place and take a look outside."

Just when Hu Qi came up with this idea.

A red shadow emerged from the water nearby.

It was the little male snake named Ah Hong.

Of course, the small one only applies to Hu Qi.

In fact, Ah Hong's height has reached two meters twenty-three.

To be honest, it's not small.

At this moment, it saw Hu Qi.

Its body trembled slightly.

The oppressive feeling from Hu Qi made it almost unable to stand.

After reacting.

A hint of anxiety flashed across the snake's eyes, like an ant on a hot pan.

It kept wagging its tail, pointing eagerly into the water, its movements flustered and hurried, as if it was desperately trying to convey something.

Seeing that Hu Qi had no reaction, it seemed extremely anxious and wanted to open its mouth to bite Hu Qi and pull him out.

But as soon as he got close, he suddenly stopped and shrank back in fear.

Hu Qi looked at Ah Hong, only to see that its originally bright red scales.

There were traces of bright red blood flowing down, which was shocking to the eye, and it was obvious that he was injured.

In addition, Ah Huang did not return with Ah Hong.

Hu Qi understood that if nothing unexpected happened, it was probably his cheap sister Ah Huang who might have met with something bad.

sizzle...

A low and long roar came from Hu Qi's mouth.

Then, the figure swayed and rushed out.

At this moment, next to a rock beside the mountain stream.

A golden python about two meters long was fighting with a bald eagle.

No.

To be more precise.

It is this bald eagle that is playing with this yellow python.

Its sharp claws were like a pair of iron hooks, tightly grasping the yellow python's waist.

The yellow python twisted desperately, and its thick body bent like a spring, trying to wrap its body around the bald eagle.

But the bald eagle cleverly avoided the traps time and time again with its agility.

Its wings flapped, its claws kept tearing, and its beak was like a sharp cone pecking at the yellow python's eyes and head.

The yellow python's scales were torn off, revealing pink flesh, and the blood instantly dyed the stones and soil below red.

The yellow python struggled in pain, its body tumbling over and over, trying to shake off the bald eagle and escape back into the water.

But it was all in vain.

The sharp beak of the bald eagle rained down drops of fire.

Blood-stained scales were scattered all over the ground.

The yellow python's resistance became weaker and weaker, and its movements became slower and slower.

See this.

A hint of cruelty flashed in the bald eagle's eyes, and it raised its head. It had had enough fun.

Prepare to end this game.

Wow!

However, at this moment.

The water flow in the mountain stream on one side suddenly exploded, and the water splashed high.

Bang!
There was no time to react.

In an instant, a black shadow accompanied by a whistling wind tore through the sky as fast as lightning.

The bald eagle, which was standing proudly just now and was more than one meter tall, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only the blood-stained feathers that were torn apart by violence flew around in a disorderly manner.

In its place, there was a terrifying black snake with a body length of ten meters.

The black snake raised its head, with a few blood-stained gray feathers at the corners of its mouth.

Gulu...

A small bulge slid down the neck and disappeared.

hissing...

At this time.

The yellow python, covered in blood and looking listless, saw this scene.

Raise your head.

The sound was very urgent.

However, Hu Qi didn't understand at all.

The language between snakes is simple.

At best, he could only roughly understand some simple information from the other party.

Things that are too complicated cannot be done.

call out!
at this time.

Behind Hu Qi, a few meters away, the leaves were shaking.

A black arrow shot out, spinning.

Accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking wind.

It hit Hu Qi directly in the head.

The arrow is very powerful.

Plus a sharpened iron arrow tip.

The power is enough to penetrate a bamboo pole in one blow.

however.

When it hit the snake scales on Hu Qi's body, only a wisp of sparks flew up, without even a white mark left.

Hu Qi turned his head and looked towards the place where the arrow came from.

Under a tree not far away, there stood a sturdy young man wearing coarse linen clothes and holding a black iron longbow in his hand.

It was obvious that the arrow was shot by the other party.

However, the young man's face at this time was full of astonishment and dullness.

Obviously he hasn't recovered from what just happened.

The arrow he shot was easily blocked by the opponent.

You know, he is quite strong, and with the iron ox bow with a pulling force of five stones in his hand, he can easily shoot and kill an adult wild wolf within a hundred steps.

But now, at a distance of no more than twenty steps, the arrow hit the opponent.

It didn't cause any harm.

At this moment, he seemed to be aware of Hu Qi's gaze, and after looking into those cold, emotionless scarlet snake eyes.

In an instant, a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, my hair stood up, and a strong sense of danger spread wildly in my heart.

Without any hesitation, the young man quickly distanced himself.

At the same time, he reached behind his back, swiftly pulled out an arrow, placed it on the longbow, and pulled the bowstring to its full extent.

With a "whoosh", the arrow shot out like a meteor, cutting through the air.

However, the arrow missed.

Looking closely, the huge black snake beside the rocks in the mountain stream had disappeared, leaving only empty rocks and gurgling water.

In an instant.

Without any warning, he suddenly felt his body being tightened by a powerful force.

Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling chill quickly spread from the surface of the skin, as if a layer of frost condensed in an instant.

He lowered his head subconsciously and his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that the huge black snake had quietly wrapped around my body without me noticing.

The black snake's scales flickered with a cold light, and each wrap around it brought a suffocating feeling of oppression.

"Want to die or live?"

Just when he was filled with panic and at a loss.

A somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
