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

"puff!!!"

The scarred man's mind went blank after taking the blow to his jaw!

The kinetic energy released by the violent contraction of the snake's abdominal muscles flowed unreservedly down the jawbone and into his brain.

His head tilted upwards uncontrollably, and he spat out broken teeth and blood!

Scarface's muscular body fell backward onto the ground uncontrollably.

He kept trying to get up from the ground, but the fall had completely ruined his balance, and several attempts ended in failure.

The intense dizziness caused him to open his mouth and vomit up all the food he had eaten.

Even so, he still held his head in his hands, trying to protect these vulnerable parts.

Simba wouldn't let him have his way. He rushed forward and bit his arm, forcing him to be unable to fully cover his neck, creating an opportunity for Casper to kill him.

"Well done, Simba!"

Kasper quickly stepped forward and bit Scarface's throat, injecting the venom from his fangs without reservation, which then spread rapidly throughout his body via the arteries.

"Giggle..."

Scarface stretched his hand toward the sky with all his might, but after a moment, it fell limply to the ground.

ended.

Kasper released his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just then, the little wolf on one side came up and rubbed its big head against Casper's.

In response, Casper raised his snake tail and gently stroked the wolf cub's head.

Simba's role in restraining the enemy was crucial in the battle. If it weren't for his constant harassment from the other side, Simba would have had to risk taking a hit with his scales and waiting for an opportunity to finish off the enemy.

After such a long period of strengthening, the hardness of the scales has reached a terrifying level.

Kasper was confident he wouldn't be cut in two by the greatsword, but injury was inevitable.

Injuries in the wild can be fatal; minimize losses whenever possible.

Thinking of this, Kasper glanced at Simba, who was still rolling on the ground with his belly exposed.

The latter was no longer the fierce dog it had been when facing enemies; it was just a spoiled puppy, showing no signs of becoming the future wolf king.

But don't let Simba's current liveliness fool you.

The heavy blow from Scarface just now must have definitely injured him.

"Good job, Simba. Take a rest these days, I'll give you a treat tomorrow."

"Praise be to my Lord."

Simba stuck out his tongue, his wolf face looking like a husky's, revealing pure flattery, yet not at all annoying, but rather adding a touch of憨厚傻傻的可爱 (simple and silly cuteness).

"Go check if there's any leftover food by their campfire over there. If there is, eat some and bring it back."

"Yes."

Simba immediately turned and carried out the order.

Meanwhile, Casper began to explore Scarface's body.

He could have Simba come over and, like he did with the cat, dismember the two men's bodies and take them back as food supplies.

Kasper ultimately couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. His body was that of a snake, and his personality had been altered by physiological factors, but deep down he still leaned more towards being human.

Unlike some beasts who fall in love with islands, cannibalism was still too unacceptable for him.

However, since corpses can't be eaten, they must have some good stuff on them, right?

Everyone says that murder and arson bring wealth and honor, so let's see what the spoils of war are and judge whether this proverb is true or not.

This search did indeed yield some good results for Casper.

Besides the money bag he had previously used to plead for peace, there were also some mysterious items containing arcane energy.

"The ring... the necklace... they all look like warning devices for danger."

That makes sense, though. If they really had defensive or offensive items with special powers, he and Simba would probably still be locked in a fierce battle with that scarred man.

In addition, there was some dry food obtained from the village.

The harvest was not as much as expected, which disappointed Caspardo somewhat. But thinking about it carefully, how much wealth could the other side accumulate as an ordinary soldier?

"I feel like I lost everything in this battle."

Kasper sighed.

The food went into the bellies of the two gatekeepers, but after killing them, they didn't find anything good, and they didn't dare to eat the meat.

It feels like the Sound Guardian in Minecraft: you either kill it or you get killed, but if you kill it, it doesn't drop anything good. A total waste.

Just as Casper was sighing, he heard a system notification in his mind.

Congratulations on your successful teamwork with your allies in defeating the powerful enemy!

[As ordinary animals, you and your retinue were able to kill two armored warriors almost without taking any damage, thanks to your command and your retinue's unwavering trust and cooperation.]

[The effect of the keyword "Leadership Talent" has changed!]

Kasper was taken aback, then quickly opened the system panel.

Without even glancing at the unchanged values, he directly located the area containing [Leadership Talent].

Leadership skills

[Source: Obtained by consuming the flesh and blood of a goblin leader.]

[Effect: Your leadership abilities are enhanced. When commanding your subordinates, they will be more willing to act for you. Specifically, subordinate loyalty increases by 10%, all attributes are improved, and the growth rate of charm is increased by 10%.]

[Note: The next time this entry is upgraded, 10% of the most prominent attribute of the familiar will be transferred back to the host as the master.]

Kasper was delighted after reading it.

This was the first time he had ever heard of entries being able to be upgraded.

After the leader's ability is upgraded, the percentage value doubles. In addition, the adjective "minor" has been removed from the description of the attribute improvement of the followers.

This proves that its effect on Simba has further increased.

In addition, the subsequent annotations are even more exciting.

Not only is the potential for development of [Leadership Talent] amazing, but it also confirms to Kasper that there is still room for improvement in these initially acquired entries.

This room for progress is not achieved solely through absorption, but through conditions that can be met through some extremely challenging actions.

In a direct confrontation, it would be virtually impossible for him and Simba to kill both Little Mustache and Scarface.

The numerical gap between them was too large, and the only reason they won was because one of them was too bad and gave away a kill first.

"In other words, as long as you team up with Simba and defeat people or animals who are stronger than your own, you may gain experience points for the Leadership skill."

He and Simba had hunted together before, but they had only killed very weak prey.

It was only by chance that the other party provoked them this time; otherwise, they would never have known about this peculiar mechanism.

As Kasper thought of this, he looked at the scarred man on the ground, whose body temperature was gradually fading.

Some people are more useful when they are dead than when they are alive.
