If it's not a snake scale, then what could it be? It shouldn't be a fish either. Fish scales aren't like this, if it were really from a fish, that fish must have become a spirit.

  But this thing is good, what can I use it for? First, it's not edible. Second, it doesn't boost my strength, but if I throw it away, it would be a waste. If I sell it outside, it might be worth a lot of money.

  Well, I'll just take it with me. Once we escape, I can give it to Yuwen Hang to study. Who knows, he might even be able to sell it for a good price. With that thought in mind, I directly put it in my mouth and continued searching inside.

  However, this thing is still a bit uncomfortable in the mouth, it's hot and feels wrong. I turned around in this cave for a while and saw that there was nothing to collect. Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly looked to the right.

  "Huh? How is there a small mountain here? This is really fresh, let me study it!" At this time, I found that on the right side, there was indeed a small mountain. I couldn't figure out how a mountain appeared at the bottom of the sea.

  At this time I slowly swam towards that small mountain, I touched it, hmm, soft and soggy, this mountain is also very strange, why there's no mud on top.

  "What the...! This isn't a mountain, what kind of monster is this?" Suddenly. I felt something was off, this wasn't a mountain at all, it looked more like a living creature.

  I was startled and sprang tens of meters away in an instant, only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. How could there be such a huge creature, crouching there like a mountain.

  From a distance, I turned around and looked at it for a while, and I was shocked. Only then did I see clearly: "My god, this is actually a snake!"

  At this time, I directly dropped all the scales in my mouth to the ground. Surprised that my mouth couldn't be closed, the monster in front of me looked like a snake, but this snake seemed too big, at this time it was coiled there, and its length could not be seen, but its size outline could be clearly seen, with a diameter of at least several meters to ten meters, and that's not the key.

  The key is that its dorsal scales seem to have two cavities, like a hole, if I'm not mistaken, this snake should be dead, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sense its anger just now.

  But as for how long I've been dead, I'm not quite sure. Since I'm already dead, I'm no longer afraid of it. This huge snake, being a fellow creature, I naturally have to go take a look at what's going on and see if there's anything special about it that allows it to grow so big.

  I wonder if I can grow up to be that big in the future? But when I compared my body with it, it seemed like I was standing in front of a snake, crawling next to an earthworm.

  I thought as I crawled onto the giant snake's body, anyway it was dead and I didn't have to be afraid of it, just out of curiosity to study it.

  At this time I crawled into the hole on its back, thought for a moment, and then drilled in. Hmm, fortunately, everything inside was still fresh and hadn't rotted yet.

  "Damn, could this snake have just died? What kind of thing could have killed it?" The thought of the monster that killed it sent a chill down my spine. How terrifying must that thing be?! It seems I know too little about this world... I've realized that I'm just a frog in a well."

  Finally, I gritted my teeth and crawled inside. Anyway, it was filled with seawater, not a single trace of blood, the space inside was very large, even enough to swim around.

  I looked inside for a while, and suddenly felt a surge of pressure coming over me. I was startled, and just as I was about to leave, I felt that something wasn't right. This pressure was quite strong, but it didn't seem to be from a living thing.

  "How can this giant snake's body produce such a powerful aura? It's really strange!" Thinking of this, I simply swam towards that powerful aura.

  It was only then that I saw clearly, originally it had a round bead in its body, don't know what it's used for, and the oppressive force also came from this bead.

  I curiously swam over, took a closer look at the pearl, and found it to be about the size of a fist, milky white in color, emitting a faint white glow. Suddenly, I became interested, wondering if it might be some kind of treasure.

  I rushed over, got closer, and this oppressive feeling grew thicker, but I could still bear it. I circled around the pearl twice, feeling a familiar sensation.

  I suddenly remembered that when I was human, I seemed to have seen it in the middle, and some creatures would produce an inner elixir after they became spirits. If this inner elixir didn't dissolve, even if they died, their corpses wouldn't rot.

  So judging from the current situation, this white bead is very likely to be the inner elixir of this giant snake. It seems that the strength of this giant snake before its death has reached an unimaginable level.

  I don't know what effect this internal elixir has either, well, never mind, I'll just swallow it first and see, it's definitely something good.

  I didn't think much more and took a big bite of the inner pill, ready to take it out when I swam out again, then go find that red scale from just now.

  But I suddenly felt something was wrong, my mouth moved, it was empty inside, where's the elixir? I had clearly bitten the elixir in my mouth just now, but now it's gone? Did I lose it?

  I turned around and looked back, but there was nothing. I clearly had it in my mouth, so it couldn't be lost, right? Suddenly, a surge of powerful energy spread through my body.

  I was startled: "What's going on?"

  At this moment, I feel like there is a block of ice inside me that is chilling to the bone. Moreover, there is a breath of air inside my body that is frantically running wild, and I dare guarantee that this breath of air absolutely does not belong to me.

  "What on earth happened? Could it be that the inner elixir ran into my belly? If such a large inner elixir ran into my belly, how could I not feel it?"

  It's really unbearable, I didn't have time to think much, just rolling frantically on the ground, it was too painful, as if this breath wanted to drill out of my body, would it burst me?

  This roll, if you're not careful, you'll want to breathe, and who knows how much seawater is in your belly. I can only hold my breath and roll around on the ground wildly.

  It wasn't until a while later that the aura finally stabilized, no longer surging about like it had earlier. At this point, I also stopped struggling and gently curled my body into a ball, which made me feel a bit better.

  About ten minutes later, I clearly felt that the breath finally calmed down, and then slowly flowed to my whole body with the blood in my body.

  I felt a thrill in my heart, because I clearly felt that when this breath flowed into me, a strong power spread throughout my body.

  It's like the mysterious sunflower I met in the mountains at first, but it's a bit different. The light of that sunflower wasn't so overbearing, and my strength grew very slowly.

  But this giant snake's inner dan entered my body, it was like a powerful force being injected into my body, just now it almost burst me.

  Now that I've fully absorbed that aura, I can feel my strength surging, but for now, being in the water, I still can't gauge just how much it's increased. Guess I'll have to wait till I get out to examine it further.

  At this time I picked up the scale, and looked at the giant snake again. This look, my heart was shocked again, and the giant snake was slowly decaying.

  "Really?" At this time, I stared at the giant snake with wide eyes as it slowly decayed, like a mountain, slowly trampling down, and then turned into a puddle of flesh, dispersed by the seawater.

  The seawater in the cave suddenly became murky, and I quickly ran out of the cave. If I'm not mistaken, this giant snake should have been dead for a long time, but it was being propped up by its inner dan without rotting. Now that I've taken away its inner dan, its corpse can no longer withstand the erosion of time, and it has completely rotted away.

  It seems that this time I really benefited from the disaster, and I didn't expect the inner elixir of this giant snake to bring me such great benefits. I reckon that if I can get out this time, I won't have to be afraid of those guys who came to catch me again.

  Forget it, now let's not think about these things, finding a way out is the real thing. At this time, I had already rushed out of the cave and returned to the big pit. I held the red scale in my mouth and searched for other corners of the big pit again.
