As a venomous snake, I evolved into a god through devouring.
Chapter 9: Partial Devouring, Goblins
Snakes are slow to react, but that's relative to creatures like cats and weasels. In reality, their reaction speed is 3 to 5 times that of humans, making them true speedsters in the animal kingdom.
This 5% improvement is enough to allow a snake to move a few centimeters more in a short period of time, changing from "possibly being hit" to "having a high probability of escaping," which can be described as a qualitative change.
Furthermore, Kasper's superior muscles and bones compared to ordinary snakes amplify this advantage once again.
In other words, if Casper, who currently possesses the entry, were sent back a few minutes to fight the weasel again, he would win much more easily and decisively!
"Great stuff, really great stuff!"
Kasper was thrilled and stuck out his tongue.
Wong Tai Sin is such a kind weasel; not only did he bring him food, but he also brought him this precious entry.
"But I won't stand on ceremony, let's switch... cough cough..."
Forgot that the lingering stench of the weasel's farts still lingered in the air; the scent pheromones brought by the letter nearly sent Casper to his death by sticking into his skull.
However, this also calmed him down from his excitement, and he began to focus on processing the ingredients in front of him.
"Given my current size, I definitely can't swallow this thing whole. I need to think of a way."
He turned his head left and right, finally finding a relatively thick and sharp branch. He used his tail to wrap it around the branch and pierced it, barely managing to split it in half. He then swallowed the smaller part.
This prey was about the same length as Casper, and it had just swallowed about a third of it.
This, combined with the previous tail, had already caused Casper to feel a slight pain in his abdomen.
"Is that all you can eat?"
Kasper sensed the signals coming from his body, looked at his prey, and helplessly buried it in a pile of dead leaves.
He is not long enough to carry it to the tree hole in the book, so he has no choice but to resort to this.
"Once it sheds its skin, it will probably be able to swallow it, albeit with difficulty."
High temperatures can cause meat to spoil and then smell bad, which is not a problem at all.
As a snake without a sense of taste, Kasper really didn't care about so many things.
His only worry was whether other predators would discover him during this time and steal his spoils.
For example, that damned bear.
This thing has an incredibly sensitive nose; it can smell food from a great distance. Moreover, it's even more difficult to deal with than a wild boar, as it will eat anything.
If he were to be discovered, Kasper would have no choice but to play the role of an incompetent husband.
"When allocating points, we should allocate more resources to the mouth and intestines."
Kasper thought to himself.
For the next two days, in order to digest the food in his stomach as quickly as possible, he had to repeat the previous training process, while rubbing his body on the rough bark.
Originally a workaholic snake, Kasper only slept 6 to 8 hours a day, half that of ordinary snakes. Now, like ordinary snakes, he has to allocate his precious time to sleep.
The molting process, which should have been a long physiological activity lasting 6-11 days, was miraculously reduced to just one and a half days.
After molting, the scales are not yet fully keratinized, making movement quite awkward. It feels like touching an object with a nail bed that has lost its nails, making Casper feel uncomfortable all over.
However, improvements in other areas are more important than these negative effects.
After molting, without the comfort of the outer skin, Kasper's body underwent another abnormal development, growing 2 centimeters in length and about 3 millimeters in width.
"My figure should be about right now."
Having made a mental estimate, he went to the tree trunk where the food was hidden.
He often took this thing out to air it in the shade, and it had become slightly dehydrated and shrunk.
In addition, he used the evolution points he gained from devouring the tail, as well as all the remaining points he had previously used on his stomach and mouth. With these gains and losses, Casper was finally able to swallow the feast he had been longing for.
Kasper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the prepaid evolution points that he couldn't use were now available.
Indeed, what you hold in your hand is what matters most.
However, he is now so obese that he has difficulty climbing trees, let alone crawling.
He dragged his heavy body to a bush, allocated 10 evolution points to his stomach and intestines respectively, and then entered a full-force digestion mode without moving.
Instead of going to sleep, he opened the system panel to check his gains over the past few days, just to keep an eye on his surroundings.

[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 energy level has been upgraded.
Just as Kasper had predicted, as long as one's inherent attributes improve, once a certain level is reached, the energy level will increase.
Based on this calculation, as we age and our bodies develop, our energy level will also increase.
In other words, in this world, the more ancient a creature is, the more powerful it is.
Those long-lived beings not only enjoy an even longer lifespan, but their strength also increases uncontrollably with age.
Even a pig, if it lives for several hundred years, can have a run-in with a magical bear in the forest that has been enhanced by magic.
"Snakes tend to live longer the larger they are, and the current evolutionary path of Snake is sound. Continuously developing and addressing its weaknesses is the right way forward."
With the increase in energy level and the increase in the types of organisms it consumes, Kasper may be able to change its physiological structure and generate heat autonomously.
When all attributes evolve to the limit of the current species, that is, when the energy level reaches 10, he will have magic power and transform into an extraordinary snake!
"I wonder how the system panel will change at that time."
Just as he was lost in thought, a commotion from not far away suddenly alerted him.
He quietly raised his upper body and peered through the gaps in the bushes to see where the sound was coming from.
The figure was no more than four feet tall, with a hunched back. Its skin was grayish-green, rough like dried tree bark, and covered with tiny warts and scars.
Its head was large and tilted forward, contrasting sharply with its thin body. Its eyes bulged outward, with cloudy amber pupils.
Apart from the short wooden stick in its hand, it was only covered by a tattered piece of burlap. At this moment, it was looking around, as if searching for something, or perhaps guarding its surroundings.
Kasper was taken aback by his classic looks.
