During the two days of rest in the cave, he noticed more than a dozen animals coming to the pond to drink water. Suddenly, he remembered a common hunting method used by typical Forest Anacondas—
Lying in wait.
He used to see, while watching wildlife documentaries, that Forest Anacondas living in jungles often hid themselves in swamps and waited until animals came to drink water before launching a sudden ambush.
He could definitely imitate his kin and hunt in this manner.
However, that didn't mean Bai Zhe was going to abandon his previously adopted proactive hunting approach. He merely wanted to diversify his hunting tactics.
Thinking this, Bai Zhe began moving, ready to carry out the plan he had made earlier.
Patrol his territory.
After crossing the pond, Bai Zhe climbed ashore. After a moment of thought, he decided to first investigate the forest on the left, then circle counterclockwise to check the back and right side of the cave.
The purpose of this was to understand what kind of prey existed within his territory, where the prey was concentrated, and whether there were any competitors or large predators in the area.
The more detailed his knowledge of his territory, the easier future hunts would be.
Bai Zhe slithered forward with a rustling sound and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Every time he crawled about two hundred meters, he would stop to sniff the air and mentally record any distinctive trees or rocks around him.
Roughly two hours later, Bai Zhe had crawled three to four kilometers. Along the way, he didn't see any large animals, but he encountered plenty of small ones.
He spotted many snakes hanging on tree branches—brightly colored ones that were obviously Venomous Snakes—but Bai Zhe didn't care, since they were all rather small, with the largest only about a meter long.
They posed no threat to him.
He even wondered if their Venomous Fangs could pierce his reinforced Scales if he stood in front of them.
Of course, Bai Zhe wasn't stupid enough to test this out. After a quick glance at those snakes, he left.
The current mountain temperature was around twenty degrees, quite cool. Bai Zhe figured that in about ten days, the snakes would disappear, as they needed to hibernate.
He also saw many lizards and frogs. Although he hadn't come out specifically to hunt, Bai Zhe still caught a few particularly dumb-looking frogs and lizards to fill his belly.
He had no choice—some of them didn't even flee when he slithered right up to them. A few frogs even jumped right toward him. They deserved to be eaten.
These frogs and lizards provided Bai Zhe with 92 Evolution Points.
After crawling another two to three kilometers, the time reached the afternoon. Bai Zhe decided not to continue heading left. Instead, he planned to circle back behind the cave and check the situation there.
It was worth noting that the trees here had started to change. The trees along his earlier path had mostly been pines, birches, and camphor trees.
But here, there were quite a few fruit trees.
Bai Zhe looked up at the red fruits hanging on the branches and swallowed hard. Ever since reincarnating as a snake, he hadn't eaten fruit.
First, because fruit didn't grant any Evolution Points; second, he could only swallow them whole, unable to taste any flavor.
He sighed with longing, then turned to leave—but just then, a buzzing sound drew Bai Zhe's attention. He focused his gaze in that direction.
Not far ahead, there was a beehive.
Next to the hive, several large wasps buzzed around, and there was even some golden honey hanging from the bottom of the hive, looking incredibly tempting.
Bai Zhe drooled again.
But after weighing his options, he chose to leave—mainly because the wasps were too big, each about the size of a finger and quite intimidating.
Leaving that area, Bai Zhe circled to the back of the cave.
To his surprise, the trees on this side of the forest were noticeably sparser, and the ground was rather flat. There were also many small animals—hedgehogs, wildcats, and Pheasants.
Along the way, Bai Zhe ate another dozen frogs and lizards and even caught a Pheasant, gaining a total of 124 Evolution Points.
After finishing his investigation of this direction, Bai Zhe continued rightward. This time, after crawling five to six kilometers, he noticed that the forest suddenly thinned out.
As he went a bit further, his view opened up, revealing a clearing ahead.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe was a bit stunned. He had started from the cave's left and circled counterclockwise to the right, only to find that the right side was a barren mountain.
Well, not exactly barren—there were patches of weeds and small shrubs scattered about.
"What's that…"
Bai Zhe's eyes suddenly locked onto a disturbance in one direction. Due to the slope, he couldn't see clearly.
He climbed up a tall tree and looked again. This time, he saw it clearly.
There was a goat standing over there.
"There's actually a wild goat in this forest."
Seeing the goat, Bai Zhe was stunned. It was a full-grown adult, about seventy to eighty centimeters tall, and was nibbling at the withered grass.
