Ye Xiaowu patted the cobra's head softly, as if to reward its obedience.
Then Ye Xiaowu made another strange sound, and the cobra slowly swam toward the grass, turning back three times with great reluctance.
"Xiao Wu, how did you do this?" Peng Zhan asked in surprise.
"I often drank the blood of snake ancestors when I was a child. In this cobra's perception, I am its ancestor, so I am naturally very polite."
After Ye Xiaowu finished speaking, she knelt down and stroked the little white rabbit lying on the ground, shivering in fear of the cobra, and said in a complaining tone: "Why did you run away when you saw me? I won't hurt you. ."
After saying that, Ye Xiaowu placed some unknown grass in front of the little white rabbit. The little white rabbit immediately started eating it with relish, took a bite, and even licked Ye Xiaowu's hand to show her gratitude.
At this moment, Peng Zhan truly understood what animism is. In his previous understanding, animals were synonymous with meat and vegetables, but now he discovered that they also have very rich emotions, very sensitive love, hate, and hatred. .
At this time, Ye Xiaowu was like an angel, at least in the eyes of Little White Rabbit, she existed like this.
"Xiao Wu, what did you feed it?" Peng Zhan asked curiously.
"In our place, it is called scent-hidden grass. After eating it, it can hide its own smell, so that it is not easy to become prey for others. In the jungle, the little white rabbit is at the bottom of the food chain, and survival is too difficult."
After saying that, Ye Xiaowu gently stroked the little white rabbit's head with a sympathetic hand.
"How about you take it back as a pet?" Seeing Ye Xiaowu looking at the little white rabbit with doting eyes, Peng Zhan suggested in a low voice.
"No, Grandpa said that all living creatures in this world have their irreplaceable missions. We cannot change the role of their lives in this world without authorization."
Ye Xiaowu said seriously. After speaking, she made a strange sound.
The little rabbit immediately took a big bite of the hidden grass, which looked bigger than its body. It turned around and jumped into the grass, looking like a moving grass.
Arriving at the entrance of the Suoyao Cave, Peng Zhan and Ye Xiaowu floated down the cliff.
Before Peng Zhan landed, he felt the undercurrent surging under the Suoyao Cave.
Under the moonlight, he saw a lot of strange grass swaying in the wind. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but take a breath, because those so-called grasses were all the heads of cobras.
As soon as Peng Zhan and Ye Xiaowu landed, the cobras surrounded them and kept spitting messages to demonstrate to them.
"What are they doing, coming to greet you, the snake ancestor?" Peng Zhan asked Ye Xiaowu softly.
"Of course not. They should be here to guard the spiritual grass. In the mountains and forests, every spiritual grass will have their guardian beasts around it."
"Since the spiritual grass is so good, why don't the beasts eat them directly, but guard them?" Peng Zhan asked with some confusion.
"Those spiritual grasses are not stupid. How can they let animals that like to harm them get close easily? They create aura around them and let some poisonous snakes and beasts live around them. In this way, they provide strong protection for it."
"Creatures who have lived in a place with strong spiritual power for a long time may become demons or spirits because spiritual power can not only strengthen their bodies, but also improve their intelligence."
"It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to in the wild." Peng Zhan couldn't help but sigh.
"A real elixir, such as a thousand-year-old demon lotus, can even form an independent world. The most powerful demon beast is at the innermost part, and then distributed in a ring according to the level of ability. Generally, it can be divided into more than ten layers. , the innermost one feeds on the outer layer.”
"Ah, didn't you say that spiritual power will make animals smart? Since they are going to be eaten by the monsters at the inner level, why do they still gather around and become food for the upper level?" Peng Zhan was deeply puzzled.
