Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 58: Domestication
Ji Xinghuo waited for five hours.

The snake in the cave finally moved, and it shrank again to only a few centimeters long, crawled out of the rock crevice, crossed the valley, and swam into the nearby woods.

Obviously, the little green snake is very familiar with this area.

Its crawling speed was very fast, and its shrinking size did not slow down at all, but became more flexible, and it walked among the weeds and trees almost without making a sound.

The little green snake sticks out its tongue as it advances, changing direction from time to time.

It uses its sense of smell to find prey.

Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction found several wild beasts, big and small, as well as rodents and insects hiding in underground mud holes.However, the little green snake didn't seem to be interested in them, stopped for a while when passing by, and swam away disgusted after smelling them.

It didn't take long before it found a suitable target.

It was a pheasant resting on a tree, slightly smaller than a rooster, with long tail feathers and the ability to fly. It was a common white-bellied pheasant in the Star World Forest.

The little green snake climbed up gently against the tree trunk, and approached the white-bellied pheasant cautiously.

It moves silently in a miniature state, and uses the cover of leaves to hide in the dead corner of the prey's field of vision, and quickly climbs up the tree. When the distance is only two or three meters, the snake shrinks and bounces, and instantly accelerates to shoot at the target.

The white-bellied flying pheasant didn't notice the danger at all, its body was directly pierced by the green light, and it let out a scream and fell down.

The little green snake landed lightly, and immediately crawled towards the dead prey.

As soon as it opened its mouth to bite, the whole white-bellied pheasant disappeared.

Then it swam towards the valley where the nest was, and quickly returned to the cave, spitting out the prey in its mouth, and then began to enjoy it.

After watching the whole process, Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but be amazed.

Like a seasoned hunter, the snake made the most of its abilities and got its food with ease.

But there is a detail.

The little green snake didn't eat the white-bellied pheasant immediately, it actually used its mouth to pluck the feathers of the chicken bit by bit, remove the internal organs, and then swallowed the chicken into its stomach.

"A snake can even handle food..."

Ji Xinghuo felt very strange.

After thinking about it, it is a spiritual creature with wisdom. It cannot be treated with common sense, and it is understandable to be picky about food.

After eating the chicken, the little green snake didn't rest immediately like last time. Instead, it swallowed all the chicken feathers in the cave, crawled to a pool in the valley and vomited it out, as if it had finished disposing of the garbage, swam a few laps in the water by itself, cleaned the snake's body, and then returned to the cave.

"He likes to be clean." Ji Xinghuo complained in his heart.

Only then did he notice that the little green snake's burrow was very clean, obviously cleaned frequently.

A few hours later, the little green snake came out of the hole again.

This time it hunted in a different place and found a bird’s nest in a tree a few kilometers away. It was not interested in the eggs in the nest, but waited for the rabbit, lurking in the tree, and when the mother bird flew back, it killed it with one blow and brought the prey back to the nest.

Pluck the hair to remove the internal organs, clean up the garbage after eating, and then sleep.

Ji Xinghuo observed secretly all day, and roughly figured out the law of the little green snake's activities.

It works regardless of day and night, and will go out to hunt for food every three to six hours.But they are not interested in the food that common snakes like to eat. They are very picky eaters. They like to eat medium-sized birds and birds, and they must be cleaned before eating.

The little green snake has a very keen sense of smell, and it should be able to smell smells up to 300 meters away.

Through the smell, it can distinguish the direction, distance and position, as well as the difference in the smell of various prey, which it can also distinguish.

It obviously thinks, and is also cautious.

If it smells a strange smell in the olfactory range, the little green snake will immediately keep quiet to avoid being found.It is very patient and will wait until the opponent leaves before continuing to move.It will never take the initiative to approach beasts and monsters that it does not understand.

Ji Xinghuo summed up its character.

Smart, timid, patient, doggy and steady, his intelligence is equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child.

For this kind of spiritual creature, strong methods must not be used.It needs to be approached with more patience, with lower vigilance and friendliness.

Ji Xinghuo thought of a simple solution.

With the character of the little green snake, when it finds itself, it stands to reason that it will never take the initiative to approach unless there is a temptation it cannot resist.

That's the food!
This is probably the only weakness it can exploit.

At the end of the starry night, Ji Xinghuo no longer hid his whereabouts, and blatantly came to the cliff above the valley, but instead of climbing the stone pillar, he camped on the platform on the other side of the cliff.

This location is also within the smell range of the little green snake.

Ji Xinghuo has been paying attention to its movements, and when he reached the cliff, the little green snake in the cave opened its eyes.

He continued to build tents and set up simple traps around him. As usual, he did not light a fire at night, only ate dry food and water, and then lay down in the tent to rest.

That night, Ji Xinghuo hardly slept much.

The little green snake didn't get close to the cliff either, and went out to hunt twice as usual, both quietly.

After dawn, Ji Xinghuo got up to wash up, shot and killed two white-bellied flying pheasants nearby, and brought them back to the camp for disposal, while cooking noodles and roasting chicken.

He brought enough spices with him when he went out this time.

Although the craftsmanship is mediocre, far inferior to that of Jiangnan Caiyi, but she has mastered the knack after cooking more times, and the aroma of roast chicken wafts out quickly.

The little green snake sleeping in the cave raised its head, and the snake letter kept spitting out.

The smell of roast chicken became stronger and stronger, and it finally couldn't hold back anymore. It crawled out of the cave, approached in the grass in the valley, carefully climbed up the cliff, and lurked in a layer of moss to peek at the camp. The distance was only four or five meters, and it thought it was very hidden.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Xinghuo's mouth.

If it was yesterday, I really might not be able to find the little green snake, so I ignored it.

but now……

Having barbecued nearby for two consecutive days, with the intelligence of the little green snake, of course, it would doubt whether this was a trap, so it just watched in the dark and did not move.

Ji Xinghuo was not in a hurry, he roasted the chicken slowly, grabbed one and started to eat.

Baha, Baha...

He chewed the chicken hard, loudly on purpose.

A roast chicken was half eaten in a blink of an eye, and the chicken bones were thrown on the ground, and half of the cliff was filled with fragrance.

While eating the chicken, Ji Xinghuo paid attention to the little green snake. It stared closely at the grilled chicken in his hand. Its tongue couldn't stop flicking, and there were crystal strands coming out from the corner of its mouth.

"A snake can actually drool, hahaha..."

He almost wanted to laugh.

However, no matter how eager the little green snake was for roast chicken, it didn't sneak up like it did yesterday.Obviously, it had serious doubts about what was happening in front of it, and suppressed the temptation of food.

"If you don't come out, I will create opportunities for you."

Ji Xinghuo specially roasted two chickens and ate one for himself, while the other was for the little green snake.

He finished the one in his hand and started eating the second one.After taking two bites, he suddenly touched his stomach, got up and went to a bush outside the camp to release water.

When Ji Xinghuo returned to the camp, the remaining roast chicken had disappeared.

In the magnetic field induction, the little green snake was swimming quickly in the grass, and had arrived near its cave, hiding in a crevice in the stone.

"Fuck!"

Ji Xinghuo pretended to curse a few words, then packed his tent and luggage, and left the cliff.

When he was out of the smell range of the little green snake, it immediately swam back to its cave, spit out the roast chicken, and enjoyed the food happily.It saw Ji Xinghuo take two bites with its own eyes, so it didn't suspect that there was something wrong with the grilled chicken, and quickly ate it up.

Ji Xinghuo is not far away, and the magnetic field induction can see the whole process.

The little green snake has intelligence, but not much.

Still too simple.

The roast chicken I have eaten does not mean it is safe, it is completely possible to poison it, if I have malicious intentions, it is dead now.

But it is also because the little green snake is very simple that it has a chance to subdue it.

If it is really as smart as an adult, this kind of trick is useless at all, and it can be seen through at a glance.

For the next few days, Ji Xinghuo camped near this valley, changing locations every day, and sometimes staying farther away than the little green snake's sense of smell.However, the little green snake was still able to find it, and peeked around the camp.

Every time Ji Xinghuo camps, he cooks food, not necessarily birds.

Venison, wild boar, fruit, spider legs, whatever it is, it's beautifully prepared and delicious.

He pretended to guard against the little green snake, not giving it a chance to eat.

And the little green snake will do everything possible to steal food. Sometimes Ji Xinghuo will let it succeed, and sometimes stop it with all its strength to let it know that the food is hard to come by.

One person and one snake fight wits and courage.

Sometimes, Ji Xinghuo will also leave here, so that he can't find the camp, which is hunger marketing in disguise.

For five or six days in a row, Ji Xinghuo didn't gain any spiritual energy, but his relationship with the little green snake became much closer.It is no longer so vigilant towards Ji Xinghuo. Every time Ji Xinghuo sets up camp, it can't wait to lurk beside him, waiting for the meal.

However, if Ji Xinghuo approached it, he would still run away immediately.

"It should be almost there."

On this day, Ji Xinghuo camped directly in the valley, only more than 200 meters away from the little green snake's cave.

He walked around in the surrounding forest, hunted down several big pheasants and a black-horned mountain antelope, picked a bag of wild fruits, brought them back to the camp and started cooking.The little green snake had already climbed up a small tree outside the camp, lying on the tree, staring at Ji Xinghuo without blinking, eyes full of curiosity.

Ji Xinghuo showed off his culinary skills and cooked a big meal for two or three hours.

The whole valley is full of fragrance.

The little green snake watched it for a long time, already drooling.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the little green snake on the tree, regardless of whether it could understand or not, he suddenly said, "I'm leaving. This is the last time I make food for you, enjoy it."

After speaking, he began to pack the tent and luggage.

The little green snake hesitated for a moment, took advantage of Ji Xinghuo's back, swallowed all the food on the ground, and swam away quickly.

Ji Xinghuo didn't chase it, quickly packed up his things and walked out of the valley.

Soon, he was out of the little green snake's sense of smell.

The magnetic field induction has been locking the little green snake hiding in the crevice of the stone. When it found that Ji Xinghuo had left, it immediately raised its head and looked in the direction it left.

Ji Xinghuo kept walking, walking further and further away.

A few minutes later, the distance between him and the little green snake was more than 800 meters, and the magnetic field induction could not be observed, but he did not stop and continued to move forward.

That night, Ji Xinghuo camped at the foot of a mountain dozens of kilometers away from the valley.

Waking up the next day, when Ji Xinghuo walked out of the tent, he turned to look at a nearby tree, and saw a familiar green shadow among the dense branches and leaves.
