Chapter 142 Snakes basking in the sun

"Is this... Yi Ling?"

In the last group of snake demons to enter the valley, a girl tied up like a caterpillar caught Xu Yue's attention. The black and white SLR camera hanging on her chest looked very familiar.

After recalling his memory in his mind, he recognized this girl. She was the employee who sold him the enchantment after the trial.

She was now being held in the hands of a male snake demon. A vine was tied from her chest to her legs, tied tightly.

At first glance, it was like a green caterpillar constantly pupaeing under the hands of the snake demon, with a look of despair on her smooth face.

As a large tribe, the snake demons naturally have the awareness of storing food. For creatures with weak combat capabilities, they often tie them up and take them back to the Snake Valley for storage, one is to store food, and the other is to pay tribute to the snake demon king.

As an employee of the paradise, Yi Ling is undoubtedly a type with little combat capability and a low threat coefficient to the race.

So after meeting the snake demon, she was unfortunately taken back by the snake demon as a reserve food, but fortunately, she did not die on the spot.

Xu Yue had a deep impression of this worker. When he traded with her last time, he felt an inexplicable sense of being watched, most of which came from her. The other party should not be as simple as he looked.

After a careful look, compared with the last time they met, she now had a pair of black-framed glasses, and although this girl looked gloomy, she seemed to be desperate.

But under the transparent lenses, a pair of round eyes kept turning around, scanning everything around,

It seemed that she had not completely given up struggling. Suddenly, when her bright eyes were looking around, they happened to meet Xu Yue's interested eyes. Yi Ling's body stiffened slightly, but soon shifted her sight as if nothing had happened.

On the boulder, Xu Yue's pupils shrank slightly, and the snake's tail wrapped around the stone wall, leaving dents.

'Sure enough, there are some tricks. I can still recognize me even in my current state. ’

Although the other party's action just now was subtle, Xu Yue, who had been watching her all the time, still found clues. When the two looked at each other, the flash of emotion in Yi Ling's eyes was definitely surprise.

The other party probably recognized him.

After watching Yi Ling being dragged into the cave, he lowered his eyes and waited for a while to deal with the snake demon and then went to see her. Of course, the premise is that she can still survive by then.

At the entrance of the valley, as the last snake demon returned from outside the valley, the two snake demons in charge of guarding began to move the huge stone on one side of the valley entrance.

It was Si time, and the red sun in the sky gradually rose to its highest point. The golden glow sprinkled from the clouds, under the influence of the unique terrain of the Snake Valley.

The glow began to gather in the valley, and gradually the entire interior of the Snake Valley began to be coated with a layer of brilliant golden gauze, and even the faintly flowing golden light could be seen in the air.

The huge rocks at the entrance of the valley have closed up, and the entire Snake Valley is completely closed. Snake demons are pouring out of the caves on the rock wall and lazily lying in various places in the Snake Valley.

Looking from above, the Snake Valley, which was originally green, is now covered with cold scales.

The lawn, boulders, treetops, and everything in the valley are clinging to snake demons of different sizes and colors. The whole scene is terrifying but also has a different kind of beauty.

This is the group activity that the snake demon clan will carry out almost every day as long as conditions permit, basking in the sun.

As a demon born from snakes, snake demons still retain a considerable part of snake instincts, such as sensitive perception, good at camouflage and ambush, like darkness, tolerance to hunger, and the need to absorb heat from the outside world.

As a cold-blooded animal, snakes are a kind of creature without a self-regulating system in their bodies. Because they cannot regulate their own body temperature, they need to rely on absorbing heat from the outside world, and the sun is undoubtedly the largest heat source between heaven and earth.

By basking in the sun, their bodies can absorb enough heat energy to meet the needs of survival, activity, hunting, digestion and other activities.

Only when the internal temperature reaches a certain level can snakes ensure that their bodies are active rather than in a rigid state.

The snake demon clan also inherited this feature. Although they do not have to rely entirely on the intake of heat from the outside world, basking in the sun at noon every day is also a very beneficial activity for physical and mental comfort. It is a rare leisure time for the snake demon group. No snake demon will refuse this temptation.

Every time it is Si time, near noon, all the snake demons who go out will return collectively. The specially modified Snake Valley will aggregate the warm energy of the sun to the most suitable level to provide the entire snake demon group with absorption.

The sunbathing time generally lasts for 2 to 3 hours, until the sun changes from warm to hot, and the snake group will disperse. This is why Xu Yue chose this time period to enter the Snake Valley. He needs an opportunity to gather all the snake demon groups.

At this time, with the increase of warm heat energy in the valley, the snake demons gradually fell into a lazy and leisurely state.

Even the young snake demons, who were usually the most active, had lost their desire to play and were lying lazily in one place, unwilling to move.

Xu Yue, who was wrapped around a large rock, also felt drowsy at this moment, as the warm sunlight was penetrating into his flesh and blood through the scales on his body.

After transforming into a snake demon, the lingering coldness in his body was slowly dispelled, and what emerged was the comfort and pleasure of being immersed in warm water.

Like the snake demons in the Snake Valley, he now also maintained a lazy and idle state, but his half-hidden eyes were fixed on the largest cave on the rock wall, where muffled sounds were coming from, as if heavy objects were rolling over the ground.

After a while, the muffled sounds became clearer and clearer, and the snake demons in the valley also heard the movement that was like a heavy tank moving. They all raised their bodies that were originally lying down, and their snake tongues spit out from their mouths. The hissing sound resounded through the valley, and they were shouting for the snake king who was about to appear!

Amid the long hissing of the snakes, a giant male snake demon poked its head out of the cave. Its huge body, which was more than three meters tall in an upright state, cast a large shadow. Behind it was a thick snake tail that was nearly twenty meters long. The black scales as big as a basin reflected a cold light, which was daunting.

"Yin!!"

Unlike the sharp hissing of ordinary snake demons, the voice of the snake demon king was a low and long howl like a dragon's roar, solemn and oppressive.

The snake demons are intelligent creatures and understand human language, but they generally disdain to use it unless it is hunting time. The hissing of snake tongues and the release of smell are enough to support their communication with each other.

After a long groan, the snake demons who raised their bodies fell back to their stomachs and continued to enjoy the warm sunbathing, while the snake demon king swam to a small hill in the center of the valley and climbed and entangled. This is its exclusive position.

The movement stopped, and the valley suddenly became quiet. Except for the heavy breathing of the snake demon king, no other noise could be heard.

All the snakes fell into a state of rest similar to sleeping, which is why the snake valley was blocked. At this time, they hated external interference the most.

But in the peaceful and quiet environment, no snake demon noticed that the sunlight temperature in the canyon today seemed to be much higher than usual, and in the bright rays of light that filled the sky above the canyon, many golden and red fine light spots quietly appeared.
