It's been a few years since a have reincarnated into a snake. During this time, I ate, slept and searched for my never ever seen opportunity.

Unsurprisingly, I concluded in a few days that this is not a normal rain forest. I have met, killed and escaped from many unusual beings. Their appearance, skills and habits are completely new to me.

Fish with a tongue of a frog, a spider with a human face on his body or a mosquito that will suck you of all your blood in a matter of few minutes. How terrifying and exhilarating it is. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Oh, how I would love to be able to dissect them.

Even though this forest has such great potential to have something supernatural, I found nothing. Even the animals I have met were unintelligent. They all behaved according to their instincts. Ah, how vexing it is.

Thank god, I still have a piece of great news to present. During my third week, I fought against an enemy that was too strong for me. Of course, I ran away with my tail between my legs. I don't have any suicidal tendencies yet.

It looked so harmless. It was a small pink rabbit. How delicious it looked. Who could have thought, that its paws could easily rip my scales off mine body? I could not even pierce through his pink fur with my fangs. What a monster.

Half of my scales were ripped off, and there was a big gash on my abdomen. So much black blood was flowing from me. I was bleeding so much that I even left behind a small river of blood. Hahaha.

Well, remembering this event still makes me feel the pain. But never forget that a great misfortune is hiding great fortune behind its back. I found a great fortune after all. Hahaha.

Anyway, I was nursing my wounds when I felt this comforting stream of power. Honestly, I don't know what it is, but since I was Asian, I will call it qi. I can't tell, where it was coming from but it came from my body. It was quite magical.

I needed to nurse my wound for a month. In this resting time, I found the unbelievable truth. I had such a great mood.

The qi was coming from the centre of my body. To obtain qi, I needed to devour other living beings. Unfortunately, not every animal will give the same amount of qi. I can feel it instinctively, the amount of qi I get by devouring others.

I also tried to eat plans, but I got nothing. Maybe, they are giving me qi, but it's so miniscule that I can't feel it. Hm, I should make a mental note to research it later on.

In addition, I tried to feel qi in the air. I attempted meditation, but in the middle of it, I fell asleep. What an embarrassing moment. Anyway, I tried again, and unfortunately, I got nothing. I can't even control the qi in my own body. It's so vexing.

The only observation note worth mentioning is that by devouring, I got stronger. I molted and grew an additional 30cm. My scales have become stronger, and there is a tinge of red colour on it. Lastly, the poison is more potent now.

I have been mumbling for myself for quite a long time already. I should restart my journey and find my great opportunity. Which way should I go now? I have been exploring this rain forest for a few years already. On the south part is nothing, I should try something new.

Hm, let's go east this time. My guts are telling me this could be a good choice. Let's move this way for a few years, and I might find something.
