Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 58 Taming

Ji Xinghuo waited for five hours.

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

It was obvious that the little green snake was familiar with this area.

It crawled very quickly, and its reduced size did not slow down at all. Instead, it became more flexible, wandering among the weeds and trees, making almost no 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 for it to find a suitable target.

It was a pheasant resting on a tree. It was slightly smaller than a rooster. It had very long tail feathers and had the ability to fly. It was a common white-bellied pheasant in the astral forest.

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

It moved silently in its miniature state, and used the cover of leaves to hide in the blind spot of the prey's field of vision. It quickly climbed up the tree. When it was only two or three meters away, the snake's body shrank and flicked. Instantly accelerates towards the target.

The white-bellied pheasant didn't notice the danger at all. Its body was directly pierced by the green light, and it screamed 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 he swam toward the valley where the nest was located, and soon returned to the cave, spitting out the prey in his mouth, and then began to enjoy it.

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

This snake is like an experienced hunter, making full use of its abilities to get food easily.

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 actually process food..."

Ji Xinghuo felt strange.

Then I thought about it, it was a spiritual creature with intelligence, so I couldn't treat it with common sense, and it was understandable that it was picky about food.

After eating the chicken, the little green snake did not rest immediately like last time. Instead, it swallowed all the chicken feathers and offal in the cave, crawled to a pool in the valley and vomited it out. As if it had finished disposing of the garbage, it went to the water by itself. I swam a few times to clean the snake before returning 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 cave was very clean and was 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.

Plucking the hair and removing the internal organs, cleaning up the trash after eating, and then sleeping.

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

Its schedule is day or night, and it goes out to hunt every three to six hours. But it has no interest in the food that ordinary snakes like to eat. It is very picky and likes to eat medium-sized birds and birds. It must be cleaned before eating.

The little green snake has a very keen sense of smell and can smell smells up to 300 meters away.

Through smell, it can distinguish the direction, distance and location, and it can also distinguish the difference in smell of various prey.

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, very careful and steady, his intelligence is equivalent to that of a five or six year old child.

For this kind of spiritual creature, you definitely can't use strong methods. You need to approach it more patiently, lower your guard, and show kindness.

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 food!

This may be its only exploitable weakness.

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 had been paying attention to its movements. 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 did not get close to the cliff. During this period, it went hunting twice as usual, both times 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 hole raised its head, and the snake kept spitting.

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 Ji Xinghuo's lips.

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

but now……

After having a barbecue 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 secret and made no move.

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

Bah chi, bah chi...

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 on it like 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, one for himself and the other 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 was gone.

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 walked out of the little green snake's smell range, 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 there was anything wrong with the roasted chicken and ate it up quickly.

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.

Just because the roast chicken you have eaten does not mean it is safe, you can definitely poison it. If you had malicious intentions, it would be dead by now.

But it was precisely because of the simplicity of the little green snake that we had the chance to conquer it.

If it were really as smart as an adult, this little trick would be useless and it would 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.

Ji Xinghuo would cook food every time he set up camp, and it wasn't necessarily all birds.

Venison, wild boar, fruit, spider legs, etc., but no matter what kind of ingredients they are, they will be carefully cooked and quite 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 done."

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

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

Ji Xinghuo showed off his cooking skills and worked hard for two or three hours to prepare a feast.

The whole valley is filled with fragrance.

The little green snake watched for a long time and was already drooling.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the little green snake on the tree, and suddenly said, regardless of whether it could understand it, "I'm leaving. This is the last food I'll make for you, enjoy it."

After saying that, he started to pack his tent and luggage.

The little green snake hesitated for a moment, then took advantage of Ji Xinghuo's back to swallow 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 beyond the smelling range of the little green snake.

The magnetic field induction has been locked on the little green snake hiding in the crevices of the rocks. When it discovered that Ji Xinghuo had left, it immediately raised its head and looked in the direction in which it left.

Ji Xinghuo kept walking, walking farther and farther.

A few minutes later, the distance between him and the little green snake was more than 800 meters, and the magnetic field induction could no longer 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.

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