Infinity through different life

Chapter 4 Hunting
Since he couldn't figure it out, Xu Jing stopped thinking about it. The purpose of his time travel was very clear, to obtain the origin point.

And if you want to get the origin points, you need to make the current python body stronger in this world, so that you can convert the body into more origin points when you leave.

Xu Jing has watched the movie Anaconda 2 and is very clear about the efficacy of blood orchid.

The structural unit of life is the cell, and each cell will quickly secrete toxins after 56 self-replications, leading to necrosis. This is the "Hayflick limit", and it is also the reason why all species will die out on a regular basis.

Blood Orchid is also known as the flower of immortality. In its composition, there is a chemical component that can make cells exceed the limit 56 times, which can extend the life of cells and thus break through the limit.

Xu Jing's current body is that of an anaconda. Even before it dies, the anaconda's body continues to grow. The reason why it can grow to this level is because it has swallowed blood orchids.

The blood orchid increased his lifespan, the longer he lived, the longer and bigger his body, and naturally, the stronger his strength.

Regression is unlimited. Xu Jing tried it just now, but with his current body, if he chooses to regress directly, he can only transform to get 83 points of origin. declined.

The time flow rate in the two worlds is also different. After arriving here, Xu Jing got the relevant information from the system.

In the world where his human body is, one night is equivalent to five days of the plague of the python, so he can stay here for five days.

If you want to get the most sources, the fastest way is to swallow a lot of blood orchids. As long as you eat something in your stomach, no matter whether it is fully digested or not, it will be converted into sources when you leave.

According to Xu Jing, the blood orchid unique to this world is most likely the treasure that contains the most origin points.

Fortunately, the time he traveled happened to be the time when the blood orchids were in full bloom.

There is a strong smell in the air, which is the female hormone emitted by the female snake, and it is also a signal of courtship.

The pythons in the tropical rainforest of Borneo can sense this signal through their sense of smell.

"Hush-hush-"

Xu Jing kept spitting out words, tried his best to suppress the instinctive urge to move from his body, and then quickly crawled towards a certain direction.

He wasn't in a hurry to mate, but because he knew that the blood orchid was located on the cliff above the mating place of the group of pythons.

Walking through a wet forest, Xu Jing felt that half of his body was soaked in water.

It was the rainy season, and continuous heavy rains caused the river to swell and flood the entire river bank.

"Pfft!"

After he slid forward for a while, the entire body of the snake sank into the river, making a loud noise.

At this time, a ship happened to pass by and headed upstream along the river.

Most of the group of men and women on the boat heard the loud noise. They all looked at each other and looked at the source of the sound suspiciously.

"Gollum..."

I saw huge bubbles emerging from the bottom of the water, rolling for a while and then calming down.

"What is that?" Dr. Jack Bairon of the expedition team in the plot asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I don't know." Bill Johnson, the captain, said solemnly: "It's the rainy season, and the waterways will be more dangerous than usual."

Jack's assistant Shan snorted coldly and said to Johnson: "You said you could deliver us safely."

"That's right." Johnson nodded and refused, "But safety does not mean speed. If the situation is not right, I will change the course."

The sky was getting dark, and light rain began to fall again. Looking at the rainforest around them that seemed to choose people to eat, the members of the expedition team suddenly became a little irritable.

"Okay, don't think too much, we will arrive safely."

Jack is the last one who doesn't want problems to arise. As the leader of the expedition technology team, he has endured a lot of pressure to find blood orchids for the company this time.

Xu Jing was swimming underwater. In his perception, the people on the boat were like light bulbs, shining extremely brightly.

His body had not had a full stomach for several days, and when he discovered the members of the expedition, it was as if he had seen a lot of the most delicious food.

The instinct from his body made him feel extremely excited, and he followed the ship impulsively.

"Damn it! Such a strong instinct! It can't go on like this."

Xu Jing stopped abruptly. Although he was transformed into a python, his mind and soul were still human. The thought of eating people made him feel so disgusting that he couldn't eat them.

"I want to fill my stomach first."

With this cold glint in his eyes, he swam to the shore, slowly climbed up and entered the rain forest.

Food is not easy to find in this season, most of the animals are hiding in their nests, they would rather be hungry than take the risk to go out to find food.

Of course, there are exceptions. A certain panther who was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore walked out of his lair.

It searched for a long time but found no prey, so it had to pick a wild fruit from the tree and gnawed it angrily and helplessly.

At this moment, the jungle that was originally buzzing with insects suddenly became silent, leaving only a strange and weak rustling sound, as if it was caused by something rubbing against the fallen leaves accumulated on the ground.

The black panther pricked up its ears, raised its head and looked around vigilantly, its topaz-like pupils gradually shrank, and then growled as if facing a formidable enemy.

It smells danger, and recognizes potential dark enemies from familiar scents.

In its memory, it had had this kind of encounter somewhere before, but that time it not only escaped, but in the end it hunted the opponent in turn.

But this time it was a little reluctant to take risks. The hunger for days had severely reduced its physical fitness, and even its footsteps were not as sensitive as before.

The black panther maintained its fighting posture and began to retreat slowly, roaring from time to time to convey a threat to the enemy in the dark.

Xu Jing spit out the letter, and the low-lying snake head gradually raised, and the vertical pupils exuded a cold light, locking the black panther tightly.

He didn't act rashly. Although he possessed strength far superior to that of the panther, he had no advantage in physical strength, nor could he block the opponent's claws and teeth from biting him. Moreover, this was a jungle panther, and his speed and agility were no less than his own.

Of course, Xu Jing also has his advantages. The most important thing is that he is in the dark and is in the role of a hunter.

And just now he misled the black panther with his long snake tail, causing the other party to misjudge the position, as long as he gets closer...

Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew up behind the black panther, and it bit it with a bloody mouth as fast as lightning.

"Roar!"

The black panther turned back and jumped back in horror, but it was useless. Its upper body was bitten hard by Xu Jing, and then the snake body wound around. With the sound of "cracking" joints, the struggle became weaker and weaker. The sound gradually disappeared.

PS: I see that some people are talking about the problem of cannibalism, so I will make a note here to explain:

The current protagonist is an ordinary person with fairly upright views. Even though he grew up in an orphanage in his previous life, he never complained about anything. Now that he has traveled through a giant python, first of all, he is still a human being in mind, rather than a python that truly relies on instinct to act.

As a normal (this is the point) ordinary human being, he has never even killed anyone before, and he will not easily take the initiative to harm others unless he is forced or helpless. Moreover, there is no shortage of food in the jungle, and he also You weren't forced to the point where you were starving to death and had no food, were you?Why eat people?He has to go back, and he will still be a human being. If he eats people, will he be able to accept it after he goes back?

In addition, changing the protagonist requires a process. If he starts killing people indiscriminately as soon as he crosses the giant beast, wouldn't this character conflict with the setting I mentioned above?
Of course, I also knew that I wanted to write about this kind of monster, which is inherently hostile to humans. Conflict is unavoidable. The protagonist will slowly change, and he will never hesitate when it’s time to take action.

But this requires a process. Everyone should be patient and give me some time to write out this transformation bit by bit, right?
