North of the Wilderness, the Blackstone Mountains.
The blizzard has been falling intermittently for three months and has not stopped yet. The land thousands of miles around has been covered with a thick layer of white.
In the Black Mountain Demon Village, in a rough stone house, Su Changsheng curled his tail around his body and stared out the window at the snowstorm.
"It's hard to be a human being, it's hard to be a monster, and it's even harder to be a monster."
"Why is this so?"
Su Changsheng sighed quietly.
Things are a little complicated. Just a moment ago, he was still the ultimate social beast on earth who was a well-educated person who complained every day that it was difficult to be a human being and that it was okay not to be a human being.
But in the blink of an eye, he traveled here and became a half-demon in the Black Mountain Demon Village in the Taixuan Realm, north of the wilderness: Green Snake Half-demon.
With the head of a human and the body of a snake, he is a mermaid.
He was also very happy at first. Although he was no longer a human being, he was still a powerful monster. In his memory, the monster could move mountains and fill seas, chase the sun and moon, and pick up stars. The strongest ones could rival immortals.
However, the cruel reality told him: there is indeed a powerful demon, but it has nothing to do with him.
He is just a half-demon, at the bottom of the Black Mountain Demon Village, with mediocre talent and mediocre demonic power. What he remembers most is the fear of other demons, and the fear and anxiety he lives every day.
In the world of monsters, it is full of chaos, blood, and fighting. Weak monsters can become the blood prey of big monsters at any time. If they are not careful, their souls will fly away and their bodies will disappear.
Not even a chance to reincarnate.
"It's better to be a good person!"
"Why bother?"
Su Changsheng sighed quietly again, just when he was thinking about how to spend the next demon life.
The next second...
Boom!
The boulder blocking the door was violently kicked open, and the boulder hit the wall of the stone house, causing the entire stone house to shake and dust to fly.
The blizzard outside was mixed with the strong fishy wind and rushed toward our face.
The indoor temperature plummeted.
"Little Green Snake, are you dead?"
"Get out of here if you're still alive."
A huge black tiger head penetrated into the stone house, its bloody mouth opened wide, and the rotten smell and blood filled the entire house.
This is a huge black tiger demon, with its bare head the size of half a stone house.
now
Shocked by the terrifying evil spirit, Su Changsheng's soul trembled, but his body did not dare to neglect at all. He clumsily swam out from the depths of the stone house with his tail, and said cautiously:
"I'm coming!"
"Hu... Master Hu, please forgive me. I was practicing a little while ago and I treated you so slowly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
Looking at the huge black tiger demon at close range, Su Changsheng's heart beat violently involuntarily, almost suffocating, and his back was instantly covered with cold sweat.
"He's actually not dead!"
A trace of pity flashed in Black Tiger's huge eyes, and he continued: "I also said that if you die, I will just collect your body. Why are you not dead? Why don't you let me shoot you to death? That slutty bitch of a flower fox We have been complaining that we need a piece of fine snakeskin to make clothes."
"This... this... Mr. Tiger, please don't scare me. I am still preparing to serve Mr. Tiger more filially in the future."
Su Changsheng felt slightly relieved at this time. The demon world likes to be straightforward. Since the black tiger demon didn't slap him to death just now, it means that there is still talk, but he still has to pretend to be stammering.
Poor, weak, clumsy, cautious, all the above emotions can be found in Su Changsheng at this moment.
After all, a weak person should look like a weak person. Although doing this will not make a cruel and bloodthirsty demon sympathize with you at all, it may make those who are stronger than you a little happier.
When the strong man is happy, it is your blessing.
Of course, the Black Tiger Demon did not kill him because the Black Mountain Demon Village was protected by several great demons, and there were tens of thousands of demons living in it. Generally speaking, as long as you do not violate the will of those great demons and make offerings on time, you will not become blood food.
"Tch, boring!"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's time to pay your share this month. If you can't get it, just give it to yourself."
The black tiger demon looked expectant.
He is a little demon under the command of a big demon in the Black Mountain Demon Village, and is responsible for recruiting people from Su Changsheng's area.
"Yes, the little one is ready." Su Changsheng took out an ice crystal-like substance from the corner of the room according to the memory in his mind and handed it to Hei Hu.
This is snake saliva ice, a special material made by using snakes' natural magical powers mixed with their own demon power, blood, etc. It has good effects in medicine, weapon refining, etc.
The black tiger demon breathed out a stream of fishy wind, and a ghost appeared out of thin air and took the palm-sized piece of snake saliva ice for him.
After confirming that it was correct, the black tiger demon looked a little surprised. He thought that the little green snake would not be able to provide this month's share. After all, the half-demon's power was limited, and this product was already stretched last month.
He was ready to skin the little green snake and turn it into a demon, but now it seemed that it wasn't time yet?
Before the black tiger demon could think about it, Su Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, "The ice of snake saliva has just condensed, and it almost killed half of my life. But I still have to thank Mr. Tiger for being more accommodating..."
Having said this, Su Changsheng gritted his teeth, reached out and tore off two walnut-sized snake scales from his neck. Then, ignoring the scarlet blood flowing out of his neck, he handed the snake scales to the black tiger demon again. , continued: "This is a small tribute to you alone. Please be sure to accept it, Mr. Tiger."
The black tiger demon obviously came with bad intentions. Although he had paid his share of the money, no one dared to bet on whether a bloodthirsty and cruel demon could abide by the rules.
It is very necessary to pay more at this time. The priority is to save your life first, and we will discuss the rest later.
"Reverse scales containing demonic power?"
"Not bad, sensible enough!"
"Forget it, then you can rest at home and remember to prepare your supplies for next month in advance. Also, there have been some strange beasts in the village recently, so don't wander around at night."
The black tiger demon was very satisfied. He had no intention of actually killing Su Changsheng. As long as he could continue to exploit him, he was a good demon! Then the huge head also exited the stone house, and ran towards the next stone house in a flash.
After watching the black tiger demon's figure disappear completely, Su Changsheng blocked the door with the boulder again, and then let out a long breath.
Immediately, there was a terrible pain in his neck.
"Damn guy!"
"One day I'll cut you off and drink it with wine!"
Su Changsheng cursed in his heart, but did not dare to make any sound. He was cautious and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
He used the weak demon power in his body to cover the wound on his neck. But it just stopped the bleeding. It would take at least a year to restore the scales on the neck to their original state.
"If you want to continue living in the Black Mountain Demon Village and be protected by the big demons, you must pay your share on time every month. Even if you don't eat or drink, you must condense all the demon power generated in your body every day into snake saliva ice, but making slap A large piece also takes nearly half a month.”
"It's still winter, the season when my demonic power is at its lowest, and as a half-snake demon, if you want to function normally in winter, you need to supplement a lot of blood food..."
"And the current situation is... difficult!"
Su Changsheng endured the pain and rummaged through the various supplies in the stone house. There were only ten kilograms of dried animal meat, a piece of snake slough, and two snake scales engraved with strange patterns and words.
With this little thing, let alone whether I can hand in my contribution on time next month, I can't say whether I can get through it now.
"You can't really go wandering in the wilderness and turn into a wild monster!"
He sighed, unable to do anything.
The wilderness outside the Demon Village is even more dangerous. There are not only all kinds of monsters, but also many indescribable evil spirits, aberrations, wild monsters, etc.
His small body is only half a plate of food. If he really wants to enter the wilderness, he might as well give himself to the tiger demon for a tooth-beating sacrifice.
"Let's practice first!"
After eating some dried meat, Su Changsheng started practicing immediately. The demonic power in his body was severely lacking, and he needed to recover as soon as possible.
This practice took place at midnight, at the transition of two days, when the Yin Qi was at its heaviest.
Opening his eyes helplessly, Su Changsheng found that the demonic power in his body had only barely recovered.
The body's natural appearance is so poor, and the simplest method of practicing the Green Snake Breathing Method results in the efficiency of cultivating demonic power being pitifully low.
In this way, it is almost impossible to survive in this cruel demon village.
what to do?
Su Changsheng thought hard but couldn't figure it out. Just when he was feeling frustrated, at the turn of midnight, a faint yin energy suddenly appeared in the stone house.
The next moment, information appeared in his mind out of thin air.

Lifespan: 10/22 years

Note: Any behavior that is conducive to survival the day before, including but not limited to avoiding crises, practicing skills, studying knowledge and skills, etc., will receive survival settlement at the turn of midnight. Survival points can be used for skills, magic, and talents. column use.
"Survival game board?"
"Goldfinger arrives late but arrives!"
Su Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly felt around the stone house. After confirming that there were no demons prying around and that there was no danger, he calmed down and continued to study his golden finger.
"The most important thing right now is to improve your realm. I am only a first-level half-demon, belonging to the lowest level of the demon village. If I have the strength of a little demon now, how could I be bullied by that black tiger demon."
Su Changsheng invested all his survival points into the Green Snake Breathing Technique without hesitation.
Suddenly, pieces of information emerged in my mind, including how to breathe more efficiently, how to save energy when breathing, when to breathe best, how to control the rhythm of breathing, etc.
After all the information was digested, Su Changsheng suddenly felt a breath of turbid air coming out of his chest. When running the Green Snake Breathing Method, the efficiency of this method in the body increased by more than 30%, giving it a round, smooth, delicate and full feeling. .
After continuously running the breathing method for three hours, Su Changsheng stopped without feeling satisfied.
The Green Snake Breathing Technique is best practiced at midnight when the Yin Qi is the heaviest. At this time, it absorbs the most external spiritual energy and consumes the least energy in the body, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, the main reason is that Su Changsheng is too poor. He only has ten kilograms of animal stems at home, so how can he have any resources for his own cultivation?
