The lantern fish were all driven to the main trunk of the Beihe River. The water surface of the tributaries looked much calmer, but the river water in the tributaries looked turbid than the main river. , There is no way to see the situation at the bottom of the river clearly.

The wooden houses on Turtle Island store a lot of things that cannot enter the water. The snake turtle can’t dive to the bottom of the water, but they don’t need to enter the water. The Naba snake rolled up from the bottom of the river, and its huge snake tail slapped on the river surface. The water splashed everywhere, and several small animals that had been active near the river bank screamed and ran back to their nests.

This is a female Naba snake, almost half the size of a snake tortoise, with a dark body, only the skin on the head is faintly red, perhaps feeling the breath of the snake tortoise, the Naba snake raised its head high from the water Come, the icy river water drips down on the water surface along its scales.

"hiss."

Ba Snake spat out long snake letters, his pupils were full of alertness, and his sharp fangs were exposed from his lips, as if he was about to attack Song Wen and his party at any time.

Having seen a snake tortoise that was even bigger than Ba ​​Snake, Song Wen and the others were not too afraid of this giant monster. Fatty and Hen were asked to stay in the house, so they could only lie on the window and look out. .

"Is that the people from the small island?" Fatty put his head on the shoulder of the emperor penguin, and he could easily do this with his current size.

"Oh." Emperor Penguin Ah Hen didn't know if he understood, and echoed Ah Fatty's words with a face.

"It's strange that it doesn't have a shell."

"Oh."

Seeing Ba Snake's appearance, Snake Turtle's face sank, with a bit of worry on his face, "It's giving birth."

The female beasts in childbirth are extremely fierce. Although this Ba snake did not attack directly when they met for the sake of the snake tortoise, it is also warning them to leave this water area as soon as possible. The Ba snake does not allow any creatures to approach the birth When you are weak yourself.

"hiss."

Ba Snake's vertical pupils tightened, and he let out another long "hiss", but this time the sound was not finished completely, Ba Snake's tail started to swing again, and huge waves rolled up one after another, and the snake's tail even slapped On the river bank, a few dead trees on the bank were uprooted, and there was another loud noise.

This time, Song Wen didn't need to be explained by the snake tortoise, so he could guess why Qian Yi said that the snake looked very painful, "Is it... difficult to give birth?"

"En." The snake turtle nodded, "It's not the season for them to lay eggs, and this snake has just shed its skin, and the energy consumption is too great, and it has no strength to lay eggs."

The snake tortoise was very anxious looking at the snake writhing in the water, but at the moment it didn't know what to do to help the snake except to watch. More, maybe you will know what to do.

The Ba snake belongs to one of the species of the giant snake family. After careful study, it should have the same bloodline as half of the snake tortoise. This is different from the small water snake they caught in the reeds before. Too bad luck, I didn't catch up with the great awakening in Beihai back then, and I couldn't open up my mind like the orcs.

If it was just an ordinary giant beast, it would be impossible for the snake tortoise to ask Song Wen to help it. He briefly explained the relationship between the snake and the snake tortoise. If you don't know, it's okay to say, now that half of the same race is facing life-threatening threats, how can the snake turtle stand by and watch.

"Can you communicate with it?" Song Wen was silent for a while after listening. Naturally, he couldn't really understand how to deal with a dystocia snake, but this did not prevent him from knowing better than other males on Snake and Turtle Island. Anyway, he was also the one who watched the cubs break their shells.

"It can't communicate, it can't speak at all now."

Although snakes and tortoises can communicate with most snakes, snakes do not have a complete language system like humans. The snakes in front of them can only cry out in pain. What was expressed, but it was nothing more than the meaning of wanting to drive them away. If they stayed longer, the snake would attack them directly.

The skin on the top of Ba Snake's head became more and more red, as if the snake's skin had been cut, and the bright red blood poured all over his head and face, making Ba Snake, who was already baring his teeth, look more ferocious and bewitching terror.If the snake and tortoise were not sure that the other party was giving birth, Song Wen would probably regard it as a beast blocking the way for hunting.

"Is it hungry?" Yi lay on the reef on the shore, listening to the conversation between Song Wen and Snake Turtle.

"There are very few traces of fish activity in the Beihe River in winter. It should be difficult for Ba snakes to hunt prey that can fill their stomachs, right?" Ada recalled the situation in the Beihe River in previous years.

Do snakes eat fish?

"No wonder it is so thin, how can it have the strength to give birth?" The snake tortoise led several people back a few steps in order not to be caught by the snake's tail.

"..."

Song Wen looked at Ba Snake's huge body, but he couldn't see Ba ​​Snake's thinness from this huge body, but this reminded Song Wen. He asked Snake Turtle, "If we provide it with some food, can it Let it regain a little strength? Can this snake eat now?"

The snake tortoise apparently did not expect that Song Wen would propose to feed the Ba snake at this time. Although it lived a long time, the number of snakes in the sea was even rarer than that of the snake tortoise. Not quite sure.

"I'll get two seabird meats." Yi said and walked to the warehouse.

The food in the warehouse was frozen so hard that it had to be smashed hard with a bone knife and stone to separate the sticky meat. I don’t know if the seabird meat that is as hard as a rock can handle it. To eat, you need to use fire to melt the ice on the surface.

Song Wen took out the half roasted bird that was left over from the morning, but the Naba snake kept bouncing up and down in the water, and there was no way to feed it.

"Just throw it into the water. If it's really hungry, it will eat it." Although the snake tortoise is worried about the snake, they eat snakes directly, and they don't clean them up like Song Wen and the others. After cleaning, it is cooked again with various seasonings.

"...Okay." Song Wen didn't have a better way, so the snake tortoise called Ba Snake first, so that it could pay attention to their food.

"hiss."

Tortured by pain, Ba Snake seemed to have heard the call of its own kind, poked its head out of the water, and then saw half a golden-roasted seabird thrown into the water with a pleasant smell.

Ba Snake didn't have time to think about it, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the half roasted seabird together with the icy river water. The originally shriveled stomach swelled a little with the food. .

"hiss."

Ba Snake opened her scarlet vertical pupils and looked at the humans on Snake Turtle Island. She spit out long snake letters, and the movement of stirring the sea water slowed down a bit. Song Wen guessed that the snake had accepted his feeding.

"hiss."

At this moment, Yi came back with two seabirds that had melted the surface ice with fire. As soon as Ba Snake saw the food in Yi's hands, he swam forward a few steps impatiently, poked his huge head Coming over, the "hissing" sound kept coming, as if urging Yi to feed him the food in his hand.

This is the first time Song Wen has seen a snake of this size eating. Although the snake tortoise has half the blood of a giant snake, it still eats more like ordinary beasts, and needs to chew a few times with its teeth before swallowing.

But the pure snake like Ba snake directly swallows its prey alive, and then slowly digests it.

The seabirds brought by the wings are still the species brought over from the North Sea. They are so huge that they are equivalent to a full-grown elk. After swallowing the two seabirds, the snake's originally flat belly swelled up like a ball, and it fell down. She looks a little bit pregnant.

Ba She licked the corners of her lips, the red on the top of her head faded a lot, and her tail curled up in circles. Because of her large size, Song Wen and the others could barely see a little bit of white on Ba She's lower abdomen. eggshell.

The snake eggs of this snake were not born one by one, but two were squeezed together and blocked the exit. Because of the pain, the snake's movements were not gentle at all. When they met Song Wen and the others Before, I didn't know how long I had been tossing here, but there were a few cracks on the surface of the eggshell, as if the two snake eggs would be crushed if I had more strength.

"hiss."

The snake tortoise also spat at Snake Ba. It didn't dare to get too close to Snake Ba, so as not to frighten the other snake. It could only rely on its voice to comfort the female snake who was experiencing pain in childbirth.

In the continuous "hissing" sound of the snake, even Song Wen became nervous, Ba Snake's body twisted again, the huge water wave covered the snake egg that had just emerged, and the river was covered The turbidity of the Ba snake became even more turbid, and there was no trace of any fish swimming in this section of water.

In a piece of dry grass not far from the river, a huge cheetah lay there quietly. Its hair was similar to the color of withered grass, and a little white snow and frost fell on its head. How long have you been lurking here.

When seeing the huge snake tortoise, the cheetah frowned tightly. Originally, it was just planning to eat a free snake meal, but it didn't expect to be caught first.

The cheetah licked the hair at the corner of its mouth, and swung its tail impatiently a few times. A few annoying flies that started to move around in the cold weather were driven away, and soon after the tail stopped wagging, they entangled again. on the body of the cheetah.

Although the prey at the mouth was about to disappear like this, the cheetah was still reluctant to leave like this. Its eyes swept over everyone on the Snake Turtle Island one by one, and finally fell on the harpies lying on the window. on the demon.

The cheetah paused in its gaze, clicked its tongue softly in its heart, thought for a few times, and finally quietly exited the tall grass and rushed into the depths of the forest.

Wing, who was feeding the Snake, turned his head as if feeling something. A gust of cold wind blew past, and the vegetation on the bank rustled, but there was no sign of any animal activity other than that.
