"Heaven and earth are the thief of all things; all things are the thief of man; man is the thief of all things."
"Three thieves are suitable, and three talents are safe."
"Therefore it is said: Eat the food at the right time, and everything will be in order; use its mechanism, and everything will be at peace. People know that it is divine and it is divine, but they don't know why it is divine if it is not divine."
...
In the chaos, Ye Qin vaguely heard someone talking.
He tried hard to open his eyes, but it was as if a thousand-jin boulder fell, breaking all the muscles and bones in his body and crushing him into mud. He almost screamed in pain.
"Hiss——"
Ye Qin opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw were green needlepoints, completely covering the top of his head, as if he were in a primitive Amazon jungle, and the surrounding plants were extremely tall.
Ye Qin clearly remembered that he accidentally slipped and fell into the lake. How could he be in the virgin forest?
He was so surprised that he ignored the pain in his body. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that those plants were actually weeds.
When did the inconspicuous weeds on the roadside grow so tall?
I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to look like this even if I took hormones.
The trees not far away are even more incredible. Their green crowns tower into the sky, as if they are next to the blue sky and white clouds. They try their best to stretch their branches and spread a piece of shade.
The unknown object with striped marble texture looked like an extraterrestrial meteorite. Ye Qin looked at it for a long time, but in fact it was just an ordinary stone.
There was also a flower that looked like a genetic mutation, one petal of which could cover his entire body.
The surrounding scenery was obviously familiar, but it became extremely strange to him.
Ye Qin took a breath, feeling as if everything had been magnified countless times, and there was a strange sense of dissonance.
For people with macrophobia, everything around them is like a nightmare.
He subconsciously wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand upright at all. Instead, he accidentally touched the wound on his body, and the pain was heartbreaking, like thousands of ants eating his heart.
"Hiss——"
"What's wrong with me....."
He opened his mouth, and the sound he made was an unconscious hiss.
Ye Qin quickly discovered that something was wrong with him. He tried to turn his head, but saw the charred scales flash past, and the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became more and more serious.
He endured the severe pain and twisted his body, but he heard a sound similar to the thin ropes of a reptile.
A weird and ridiculous idea came to mind.
Looking at the small puddle next to him, he endured the pain and crawled over.
The reflection that caught my eye turned out to be a thin and small black snake!
It turns out that the surrounding scenery is not getting bigger, but that he has shrunk. All the weirdness before has finally been explained.
The pair of beast eyes that belong to snakes, with the coldness of cold-blooded animals, had become the size of a pinhead due to the shock.
Not only were the scales all over his body pitch black, but there were also scars, all of which were traces left by lightning. Even some of his skin and flesh had rolled out and had solidified into dark scabs, making him look very hideous and terrifying.
Ye Qin couldn't believe that after falling into the lake, he actually traveled through time and was in the body of a snake!
For a moment, he didn't know whether to express his luck or misfortune.
Ye Qin couldn't swim, and there was no one else around him after he fell into the water. It could be said that he was certain to die, but he traveled through time.
But fate played a trick on him again.
Anyway, among the time-travel novels I’ve read, the protagonist’s worst start is still a human being.
Good guy, when he comes here he's not even a human being, he's just a snake, one that's about to die soon. It's simply nightmare mode.
The pain coming from his body reminded Ye Qin that all this was not an illusion or a dream.
Looking at the reflection in the water, there are traces of being scorched by lightning everywhere. How much hatred and resentment this has, it is better to just let him start drowning.
So what if I traveled through time and was reborn? I turned into a dying snake, but after being reborn, it seemed like I was not reborn.
Next, it's just a matter of waiting to die.
Ye Qin sighed quietly.
"If I had known this, why did I have to go through this suffering again? Isn't this just playing tricks on others?"
God has already chosen the way of death for Ye Qin, but at least he can choose a suitable cemetery for himself.
Otherwise, after he dies, some wild beasts like eagles will swallow him directly and not even leave a complete corpse behind.
Although he has turned into a snake, Ye Qin is still a human being inside, and some concepts cannot be changed.
He couldn't dig a hole to bury himself now, couldn't bury himself in the ground, but at least he could find a burial place.
Ye Qin endured the pain and continued to crawl. Due to height restrictions, he couldn't figure out where he was, so he could only rely on instinct.
At first, he was a little unaccustomed to the snake body. Ye Qin felt that he was about to twist into a twist. Rather than crawling, his speed was comparable to a snail.
After moving for a long time, I only crawled a dozen meters, but fortunately, at least I didn't do anything stupid like getting my body tangled up in knots.
As he struggled to crawl, a chill came over him.
Soon after, a scream was heard, and the sound broke through the air from top to bottom. Ye Qin lowered his head out of instinct, and then the snake body scurried to the side.
There was a burning pain in my back.
He suddenly raised his head, and saw a huge falcon standing not far away, staring at him with gleaming claws, like a life-threatening hook, almost killing him.
Ye Qin couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, afraid of what might happen. The falcon in front of him was nothing in the eyes of a human being.
But for a seriously injured snake, it is simply a giant.
Ye Qin did not dare to act rashly.
Although he escaped the fatal blow, how could the falcon in front of him let go of the delicious food he got.
He was sure that as long as he made the slightest movement, the falcon would launch an attack, and he would be in an extremely passive state.
Moreover, the falcon flew extremely fast in the air. Even if he was not injured, he might not be able to outrun it. If he was caught by it, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
Ye Qin's only advantage is probably that he has a brain, but Ying Falcon doesn't.
Before he could think of a solution, the falcon had lost its patience, and its eyes suddenly shrank, which was obviously a sign of preparation for an attack.
It didn't care whether there was a human soul in the body of the little black snake in front of it, it just knew that it was about to have a feast.
In the animal kingdom, the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive. This is the law of nature.
The black wings were fully extended and landed in Ye Qin's eyes, almost blocking out the sky and the sun. The hawk screamed and attacked again.
The powerful air flow rolled up by the wings is like an oncoming wind blade, full of suffocation and oppression.
Although Ye Qin knew that he was seriously injured and would not survive for long, if he was swallowed by a bird, his body would still be intact.
He absolutely cannot accept such a way of death.
At the moment when a person is about to die, the potential that bursts out is extremely huge.
Ye Qin quickly twisted the snake's body, awkwardly avoiding the falcon's attack. The huge bird's beak almost missed him and only missed the body by a little bit.
