Xie Jinxi took a deep breath and asked, "Muta, is your current body... more like a human, or more like a snake?"

"More like a snake," Muta replied.

In other words, in the water, Muta can hold his breath much longer than him.

Muta's voice sounded in his mind: "I can't remember how long the journey is, and I was not conscious when I dived over."

"You can trust me."

Words are always thin, but Xie Jinxi is never someone who waits to die, it was the same in the first world, and it is the same this time.

He must not die in the rainforest, nor become a monster and be trapped in this world.

He wants to go home, he has his parents and sister waiting for him.

"Then...please."

If the diving time is too long, it will be up to Muta to control whether he will go forward or return after he is unconscious.

Before diving down, Xie Jinxi tried his best to calm his heartbeat to a normal level, then took a few deep breaths, and held his breath to signal Muta that he was ready.

Muta sank with him and swam forward as hard as he could.

The underwater seemed to be another world, dark, closed, narrow, and unable to breathe, and as he moved forward against the current, the sense of obstruction became stronger and stronger. When he swam against the current with his breath held, he was clumsy and embarrassed.

And Muta is much better, the snake tail is swimming underwater, pushing him forward quickly, far easier than him.

Xie Jinxi felt that he had only swam for a short distance, probably less than a minute, and Muta was pulling him to swim in the water.

As the carbon dioxide concentration in the body rises, the desire to breathe becomes stronger, but the waterway still has no end in sight.

Xie Jinxi began not to feel what was happening outside, the water covered his seven orifices, as if he had been shrouded in a hood that isolated the world.

Xie Jinxi took swimming lessons in college. He learned how to swim from swimming lessons, and he also heard a lot about diving breath-holding from his teacher, but it was too long ago, and the teacher only mentioned it casually.

He only remembered one thing, and that was to try his best to resist his own desire to breathe.

The increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the body will trigger people's desire to breathe, but at this time, the human body has not yet reached the limit of breath-holding, but the consciousness of the brain urges you to breathe quickly.

Under the water, Xie Jinxi couldn't care about anything else, he could only focus on his body as much as possible, fighting against his instinct to breathe.

Hold on a little longer, maybe a second longer and you'll be there.

Due to lack of oxygen and forcing himself to hold his breath, Xie Jinxi soon felt the diaphragm in his chest begin to twitch, and his desire to breathe reached its peak, but it was impossible to breathe underwater.

At this time, if he couldn't help breathing, he would choke on the water, and he would die faster.

Xie Jinxi could only fight against his body with all his strength, and then he almost entered a strange state similar to a coma.

First, the perception of the environment was cut off step by step, and then the perception of his own limbs was also cut off step by step, everything around him was lost, and finally his own consciousness was completely interrupted.

……

When regaining consciousness, Xie Jinxi felt that someone was pressing his chest vigorously, and soon something cold was stuck to his lips, and he pressed his mouth open with his hand, and as the air poured into the chest cavity, there were thin things constantly probing in his mouth.

Xie Jinxi coughed twice, his hands and feet twitched uncontrollably, and then he took a deep breath.Immediately afterwards, he felt the blood rushing to his brain frantically, racing against time to transport fresh oxygen to his most important organs.

Xie Jinxi didn't understand what was going on for a while because of the dizziness of "buzz" in the blood. After a while, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

In addition to the lungs that were about to explode, the pain also came from the chest cavity. He reflexively wanted to curl up to fight the explosion-like pain, but he couldn't move his legs, and his arms were firmly pressed down.

After Xie Jinxi tensed his muscles and instinctively contended with the force that was firmly suppressing him for a while, his body and brain gradually got used to the pain, and then he slowly relaxed and slumped on the ground.

Various senses returned one by one, Xie Jinxi felt raindrops hit his face intermittently, but it didn't matter, he was soaked all over anyway.

He was lying on the grass by the river now, and it was Muta who was holding him down so that he would not move and hurt himself.

There were no tall trees by the river, Xie Jinxi stared at the cloudy sky, and was stunned for a while before his brain told him that he was still alive and breathing, and he came out.

Then all the memories returned, and Xie Jinxi realized that he almost died in that section of the river.

It turns out that the interruption of consciousness and coma caused by hypoxia is the feeling.

Xie Jinxi moved his hands and feet, regained control of his body, and then moved his mouth, the first sentence was: "Is my rib not broken?"

He knew that cardiopulmonary resuscitation required great strength, and it was likely that several ribs would be broken. The severe pain in his chest now made him unable to tell whether his ribs were broken or not.

"No." Muta's voice sounded in his mind.

"That's good."

It seemed that his coma was not too severe, and Muta knew how to do it.

Xie Jinxi then lay paralyzed on the ground for a while, and only after the sharp pain in his chest subsided and his breathing returned to normal did he try to sit up.

Muta's snake tail suddenly circled around his waist.

Xie Jinxi turned his head to meet Muta's eyes, those vertical pupils stared at him motionless, making Xie Jinxi's heart tighten.

Muta seemed to be different from just now, and the dangerous aura of a predator on him became more and more serious.

"Muta?" Xie Jinxi felt something was wrong and called him in his head.

Muta in front of him kept spitting out long and thin snake letters. After a long period of silence, Muta replied in his mind: "Yes."

"I'm fine, shall we...should we go to the temple?"

There was another long silence before Muta answered him: "Okay."

Although Muta answered him in his mind, the snake's tail didn't go down from his waist, instead it became tighter and tighter, and the slender snake's tail tip rested on his thigh.

"Let's go." Xie Jinxi said it again, but his heart was suspended.

Fortunately, in the tense atmosphere, Muta's snake tail slowly let go of him like the previous few times, and went to the temple with him.

In the process of moving forward, Xie Jinxi understood that Muta's current situation might not be very good.

Muta has been relying on the blood curse in his body to absorb resentful souls to fight against the curse of the snake god. He regained consciousness because of the "shards of resentful souls" he slapped on him.

Now the fragment's energy may have consumed a large part, causing Muta's sense of autonomy to fade, and the snake's instinct began to gain the upper hand.

This is not so good, all the resentful souls in the forest should be on the snake witch, are there other resentful souls that Muta can absorb?

Xie Jinxi braced herself to stand up and walk towards the temple, thinking quickly.

Zhao Wu?

By the way, Zhao Wu raised ghosts. At that time, Zhao Wu snatched the statue and fled into the forest.

According to the scene Xie Jinxi had seen, the statue would accelerate the spread of the curse, and by this time Zhao Wu should have turned into a human snake.

What about that ghost?Is he still on Zhao Wu who has turned into a human snake, or has he gained freedom and started to act on his own?

Preferably the latter.

Xie Jinxi now began to expect the ghost to come to him, so that Muta could swallow the ghost and regain his consciousness.

Otherwise, Xie Jinxi would not want to have a hand-to-hand fight with Muta, whose snake instinct has the upper hand.

Muta's upper body is full of strong muscles, Xie Jinxi can't beat him without a snake tail, not to mention he has a snake tail, if he really fights, he will feel the feeling of being entangled for the second time.

Don't do it, Xie Jinxi thinks that if she does it again, she will really die.

Xie Jinxi and the others happened to be near a river that had washed out the cave they had just swam out of. As the rain continued to fall, the water in the river was slowly rising.

Not long after we walked, the rain started to pick up again.

The bean-sized raindrops hit the person's head and face, and Xie Jinxi had to hide under a tree with Muta.

Xie Jinxi was exhausted, he didn't know what time it was, but it was probably almost evening.

On this day, he descended from the cliff at noon, was chased by a giant python, fled into the cave, was dragged and entangled by Muta, and then dived to the river outside.

Xie Jinxi was exhausted, he couldn't add any food, and he didn't even drink any serious water, only relying on the rain to moisten his lips.

Not so good, Xie Jinxi, who was leaning against the tree trunk to hide from the rain, felt her whole body aches and her body temperature was rising.

Tired, hungry and thirsty, beside him was a monster that could be controlled by instinct at any time.

Xie Jinxi couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, he is now praying that he will never have a fever.

However, praying was obviously useless. He sat on the root of the tree and leaned against the trunk. As soon as he relaxed, half of the breath he lifted was released, and all kinds of exhaustion and pain that had been accumulated before surged back like a mountain and a sea.

Xie Jinxi really started to have a fever.

Muta's snake tail wrapped around his leg again at some point, and he leaned over and hugged him from behind, the snake tail wrapped half of him tightly.

The pitch-black scales were washed shiny by the rain, and Xie Jinxi felt that Muta buried his head in the hollow of his neck, rubbing against the exposed skin of his neck.

what happened?

Xie Jinxi's consciousness was delayed by half a beat because of the fever. He felt Muta's snake letter protruding out continuously, and retracted when it touched his skin.

"Thank you Jinxi, it's so warm."

Snakes are temperature-changing animals, low temperature will reduce their activity, and long-term low temperature will trigger their hibernation mechanism, so some snakes will maintain their body temperature by basking in the sun.

And some snakes have special heat-sensing organs, that is, cheek fossa, which can sense temperature changes extremely sensitively, and rely on the temperature difference with the surrounding environment to lock prey at constant temperature.

Apart from the cheek fossa, the heat-sensing organ of some pythons is the lip fossa, which is the row of fine holes next to the lip scales.

Muta's half-human, half-snake form is more similar to that of a python. What he has is the row of lip dimples extending upward from the corners of his lips.

After Muta was photographed by the hostess's "Ghost Shard", he has been in a state of being affected by the cold air.In the induction of the lip socket, only Xie Jinxi's body temperature was higher than the surroundings.

His instinct made him lean on Xie Jinxi, wanting to increase his body temperature through him, but at that time his consciousness was greater than his instinct, and he kept suppressing it, forcing himself to act normally.

In the river, he also had to swim with his breath held, and he had to take Xie Jinxi with him.

The washing of the river and rain caused his body temperature to drop again, and Xie Jinxi started to have a fever again.

Muta, whose instinct had faintly overwhelmed his consciousness, only felt as if he was holding a hot and warm constant temperature hot water bottle in his arms, which was comfortable and made him addicted.
