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

The blazing midday sun shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Casper.

As body temperature rises and blood flow accelerates, the latter's various senses become more acute.

The hazy outline at the edge of my vision, like mist, gradually dissipated.

After being enhanced multiple times with points, its eyes revealed their true power; everything before it was almost identical to what Casper had seen during his human days.

Moreover, the muscles that had become stiff due to the cold morning wind were completely activated.

Kasper flicked his tongue, and the goblin pheromones in the air became much stronger.

As nocturnal creatures, midday is when they retreat into their nests to sleep.

On the contrary, Casper is in the best possible condition right now.

The enemy is weak and we are strong; if we don't act now, when will we?

Kasper climbed down from the tree, his slender snake body slithering forward, constantly using his forked tongue to collect pheromones, heading precisely towards the cave where the goblin community lived.

The snake's belly rubbed against the fallen leaves on the ground, making a clear "rustling" sound, but this sound was almost negligible in the dense forest.

After lurking and getting closer, Casper realized that the place where he had just started was less than 150 meters away from the cave. Before long, he saw the simple cave entrance.

In the shadows where the sun couldn't reach, two goblin scouts leaned against the rock wall, sat down, opened their mouths, and fell fast asleep.

Noon is equivalent to midnight for these creatures, and the two scouts were already exhausted after scouting the target village multiple times recently.

The fallen leaves in front of the cave entrance had long been crushed and embedded in the soil by the goblins coming and going. Kasper moved stealthily with murderous intent, without making a sound.

He slowly walked over to one of them and quickly bit its bare calf.

"gurrr?! (What is that?)"

The scout, who had been attacked, felt a sharp pain and struggled to open his eyes.

Is it a mosquito?

It instinctively tried to scratch, but the moment its claws touched its calf, a sharp burning sensation shot straight to its brain!

The goblin scout looked down and saw that his calf was swelling rapidly, with black pus flowing out, also staining the claw that had just touched the wound.

"gurrrrr!!!! (There's a poisonous snake!!)"

The goblin scout screamed in terror, repeating the same phrase over and over, which also woke up his sleeping companion on the other side.

The latter suddenly sprang up from the ground, and after hearing what the other goblin scout had said, his eyes immediately began to search the ground.

But there was no sign of any venomous snakes nearby. And looking ahead, his companion, who had been driven into a frenzy by the attack, was now lying stiffly on the ground.

Dark blood flowed from its eyes, mouth, and nose. It opened its mouth wide and kept swallowing air, but to no avail. Its chest, which was like a bellows, soon returned to calm.

"gurrrrr?!"

The remaining goblin scout stepped forward and poked at the other's head with its claws. Seeing that there was no movement, it finally confirmed that its companion was dead.

The shadow of death loomed over it, causing it to howl loudly.

Normally, it takes several minutes for the venom to take effect after a snake bite, but in this case, it only took a few tens of seconds for the attacked creature to die from the venom.

What exactly is that thing? Could it be some kind of unknown small snake-like monster?

too frightening.

Its legs trembled, and it instinctively retreated deeper into the cave.

We must report this to the leader immediately!

It abandoned its companion's corpse and turned to run away, but a sharp pain in its neck froze it in place.

The goblin scout looked down and saw a yellow snake biting its throat tightly. The slender snake quickly coiled around its neck.

"Click-clack..."

It tried to call for help, but its throat bones had already been crushed by the snake's terrifying power, and it could only cough up blood and make barely audible sounds.

The goblin scout quickly lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground with a thud, unable to move again.

Having completed all these actions, Casper removed himself from the other man's neck and silently crawled to the other side.

He didn't intend to leave immediately, but instead went to the crevice between the cave wall and the ground, where he curled up and hid.

He could have killed the first scout goblin silently, but he didn't, in order to surround the enemy and ambush any reinforcements.

As he had predicted, a commotion soon broke out from the depths of the cave.

The goblin, wielding a spear, ran to the spot and immediately saw the two corpses lying on the ground.

"gurrrrr!"

It let out an angry howl and then quickly approached, completely unaware that the Grim Reaper in the shadows had already bared its fangs.

After being enhanced, Casper's attack speed far exceeded that of ordinary venomous snakes. Its serpentine body shot out like a yellow lightning bolt, and the naked eye could only catch a blurry shadow.

A sharp pain shot through the spear goblin's swollen foot. In its eagerness to check, it instinctively ignored the pain. But before it could take two steps, it felt weak all over, its legs went limp, and it finally collapsed to the ground.

After killing the spear goblin, Kasper did not repeat the same method.

He quickly crawled towards the cave entrance and left the place as fast as he could.

Goblins may not be very intelligent, but they are certainly not stupid.

Three similar corpses lay on the ground, and anyone could tell that something was wrong in that area.

Rather than waiting for them to discover the anomaly and painstakingly search for themselves inch by inch, it's better to take what you can get and call it a day.

Sure enough, shortly after Casper left, the goblin leader roared furiously from the cave behind him!

Then all the remaining goblins swarmed out, fully armed, and searched everywhere for the venomous snake that had caused them to lose three members.

But apart from the ground covered with fallen leaves and the numerous trees that were completely motionless, there wasn't a single living creature in sight!

All that was left was a group of ugly dwarfs standing there, helplessly furious.

Kasper silently slipped into the hole he had previously scouted, his heartbeat steady.

This was the first time he had killed someone not for food, but solely to eliminate them.

Kasper felt subtly no discomfort whatsoever.

"Perhaps this body has also had some influence on my personality."

The changes in his body and mind made him feel somewhat melancholic.

But he quickly put this bit of sentimentality behind him.

The initial battle was a success, and the results were quite good, but the goblin horde has become wary. The real battle is yet to come.
