As a venomous snake, I evolved into a god through devouring.

Kasper felt the snake coiling around his neck, his heart pounding violently as he suffocated.

But this was merely a brief respite; soon the strong, powerful pulse subsided, leaving behind a deathly silence.

"Another one."

Kasper calculated the results of the battle in his mind.

He has already eliminated 4 of the 10 goblin tribes.

Currently, there is one archer goblin, two melee goblins, one busy with logistics, and the tribe's leader remaining.

Instead of leaving immediately as he had done before, he extended his tongue and took in the blood flowing from the wound of the dead goblin.

You launched an attack on a wild goblin pack, killed one, and consumed a portion of its flesh, gaining 1 evolution point.

Gained 1 evolution point... Gained 1 evolution point...

Kasper didn't feel disgusted at all, since it had no sense of taste. Its only thought was to get as much food as possible from that dead mouth before the other goblins inside noticed.

Venomous fangs are neither suitable for biting nor chewing, otherwise evolution points wouldn't have accumulated so slowly, bit by bit.

After about half a minute, the acquisition of evolution points stopped.

At the same time, a faint call came from inside the cave.

"Gurrrr?!"

Kasper knew it was time to make a run for it.

He climbed off the goblin spearman's corpse and headed back towards the nearby bushes.

This time, Casper's movements were very gentle, even somewhat slow.

While monitoring the goblin horde last night, Casper noticed them scattering powder in the nearby bushes, so he secretly memorized those areas.

He didn't know what those things were, but it's always better to be careful.

Kasper crawled through the bushes for about 100 meters before stopping and hiding under the roots of a tree.

[Check your evolution points.]

[Current Evolution Points: 20. Use now?]

Looking at the number, Kasper roughly guessed why the evolution points hadn't continued to accumulate.

Consuming flesh and blood is indeed a way to gain points, but the number of points a prey carries is fixed.

If this could continue indefinitely, the points gained from devouring blood would soon exceed the points gained from devouring an entire individual.

Obviously, exploiting bugs is not allowed.

Pity.

Kasper thought to himself, without dwelling on it too much.

If you fail to exploit a loophole, you simply don't gain any advantage, which isn't a loss, so there's no need to be disappointed.

Let's take a look at the beautiful evolution points, family members.

These 20 evolution points are of great significance to Kasper at this point.

Kasper mentally summoned the control panel.

[Entry: Rapid Response]

Source: Obtained by devouring its natural enemy, the weasel species.

Effect: Your reflexes are slightly enhanced by this attribute, allowing you to react faster to sudden attacks, enabling you to dodge or counterattack. Specifically, this translates to a +5% increase in reaction speed.

The tiny notification that appeared next to the energy level stirred a faint sense of anticipation in Kasper's heart.

After killing two more goblins and consuming their blood, and then allocating points to them, he can officially enter level 3.

At that time, his physical attributes will be equivalent to those of a fully grown, mature snake, and his stats will also be improved.

"Perhaps I could try devouring a goblin..."

The strength of the mutant Weasel is clearly inferior to that of the goblin; even by devouring the former, it gains the attribute of "quick reaction".

Before Caspardo could even think, the goblin leader's roar faintly came from not far away.

Having achieved their harassment objective, these goblins will certainly be unable to sleep this afternoon.

Kasper ignored the noise and simply pretended to doze off under the tree roots.

Staying up all night had left him feeling somewhat exhausted, and he wasn't in a good state to prepare for the night's battle.

That's right, this time Casper is going to have a goblin fight when they're awake.

However, after several days of poor sleep and prolonged periods of high tension, it remains to be seen how much of their usual fighting power they can actually unleash.

……

The goblin tribe, now missing another member, found itself in a delicate atmosphere.

However, not being particularly quick-witted, they didn't know how to deal with this situation, so what should have been a grand and enthusiastic expedition turned into an unexpected silence.

The goblin leader saw all of this.

The cowardly behavior of its subordinates had long since ignited its inner violence and murderous intent.

"Once we've abducted women and brought forth the next generation of our people, we'll kill all these useless trash!"

The goblin leader, who had already made up his mind, was the fastest to act.

It couldn't wait to see the houses belonging to humans appear before its eyes.

Behind him, the other goblins trotted to catch up.

Perhaps it was the leader's emotions that infected them; as they marched, the fear and caution that had previously lingered among the tribe gradually melted away under the burning flames of desire and greed.

shrill and noisy screams and laughter came from the mouths of these brownish-green monsters.

However, this high morale did not last long, as a scream came from the end of the line.

The goblin leader reacted the fastest, turning around and charging towards the back of the group.

But by the time it arrived, the goblin on the ground had already stopped breathing and was convulsing.

A tiny bite mark on the latter's neck caught the goblin leader's eye.

"gurrrrrr!!!! (That wretched snake!!!)"

It's it again! It's it again!! It's it again!!

The goblin leader harbored an unprecedented hatred for this enemy.

To this day, it has never seen the other snake in person, but in the past few days, that snake has caused the group to suffer repeated losses, to the point that only half of the members are still alive.

It must have been intentional.

The subordinates, who had just shown a slight improvement, were interrupted and reverted to their previous timid and useless state.

The sudden death of their companion left the remaining goblins in a state of confusion, and then the next victim quickly appeared!

"gurrrrr! (Here I am!)"

A goblin spotted the swift, slender snake and swung its scimitar down at it.

But without exception, they were all easily twisted by the other party!

The last one, after being dodged, climbed up the arm and then locked its throat with its venomous fangs!

Deaths came one after another without warning, and in the blink of an eye, only the leader, the archer, and the last member with a shield remained!
