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

The goblins will examine the bodies of their fallen comrades; the wounds caused by the venom cannot be hidden.

In addition, goblins who become leaders of their tribe will gain the ability to view parts of the memories of deceased tribe members.

These grayish-green creatures have their own methods for dealing with venomous snakes, making it much more difficult to assassinate members once their identities are exposed.

This was also the reason why Casper launched his first attack, aiming to inflict as much damage as possible. His current attack methods were too simplistic, and he had to make direct contact with his opponent; once trapped, he would face certain death.

Once a goblin is on guard, it's not easy to ambush him. Not only will the opponent set traps nearby, but they might even deliberately lure him in by pretending to be lax in their defenses.

These creatures are not intelligent in other ways, but they are extremely talented at hunting.

Kasper wouldn't underestimate his opponent, so for the next day, he would quietly return to the large tree where he had been observing the goblins, and would not approach their cave again.

Women and children can be careless, but snakes that live alone in the wild cannot. —Casparcorion

If the goblins focus on searching for his whereabouts, he will remain in hiding; conversely, if these guys think the snake incident was just an accident and the raid is the priority, then Casper will launch another attack.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue. Casper decided to carry out this magical sixteen-character mantra to the end, letting the enemy truly experience what it means to deliver a devastating blow.

But before that, Casper checked the system notifications he hadn't paid attention to during the previous battle.

[You launched an attack on a goblin pack in the wild, killing three and consuming some of their flesh, gaining 6 evolution points.]

"Just as I thought."

When he was devouring Wong Tai Sin, Kasper chose to eat in segments because he couldn't swallow him all at once.

After consuming the tail, it gained some evolution points, and after completely consuming the entire body, it gained another portion.

Even if you only devour the body parts or flesh of your prey, you can gain evolution points, but not as many as you would gain from devouring the whole prey.

Goblins are at a higher level of life than ordinary birds and fish, possessing a certain degree of intelligence and sociality.

The fact that even a small amount of blood can yield this many evolution points is quite a generous reward.

For some reason, the dragon's roar that shook the entire mountain forest that morning came to Casper's mind.

"Previously, I gained an entry by devouring the alien Weasel. This time, I gained a considerable number of evolution points by devouring some goblin blood."

If we could go to where the red dragon crashed and get some of its blood to drink, wouldn't we be able to take flight?

The moment Kasper had this thought, he was startled.

In human times, Casper would never have had such thoughts; the only explanation is that his serpentine instincts prompted him to think in this direction.

"They say a man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and this snake is truly audacious. It just goes to show that no amount of cunning from a bad person can compare to the quick thinking of a fool."

Originally, in order to kill more efficiently, Casper planned to allocate all 6 evolution points to Venom Fang.

But after the little incident, he still set aside two points to strengthen his brain.

Once the commotion outside had subsided, Casper poked his head out of the cave, confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and then headed toward the nearest bushes.

Compared to Caspar's composure, the numerous goblins in the cave not far away were in much more disarray.

"gurrrrr... (The three members just died like that.)"

"gurrrrr, gurrrr (With two scouts and one spearman gone, can we still continue raiding?)"

"gurrrrrr, gurrrrr? (My dead companion is covered in festering sores. What could have caused this?)"

"gurrrrrr? gurrrrr. (Didn't you hear that roar coming from the cave entrance?)"

"gurrrrr. (It sounds like a poisonous snake.)"

"gurrrr, gurrrrr (Viperines don't have a strong killing instinct; perhaps they've seen another kind of creature.)"

"gurrrrr? (Could it be an unknown monster lurking in this forest?)"

The surviving goblins talked to each other, and a sense of fear and unease gradually spread among the tribe.

The unknown is what evokes the greatest fear in intelligent beings.

Efficient killing methods, the tragic deaths of their own kind, and the ability to move swiftly and stealthily.

Almost all the goblins believed that the attack was carried out by a powerful magical beast.

"gurrrrr, gurrrrr, gurrrrr!! (A bunch of useless trash, you're scared out of your wits by just one poisonous snake!)"

The goblin leader's deep, angry roar drowned out all the hushed conversations and echoed deep within the cave.

"gurrr, gurrrrr. gurrrrr, gurrrr. (I've reviewed the dying memories of the fallen members; they were attacked by a yellow venomous snake. They were only killed because they were careless.)"

gurrrr, gurrrrr. (Any one of you can kill that snake if you're prepared.)

Hearing their leader's assertion, the other goblins were immediately reassured.

"gurrrr, gurrrrr, gurrrr. (The raid is proceeding as planned. Before that, you need to make some preparations.)"

"gurrrrr, gurrrr, gurrrrr. (Sprinkle fallen leaves all around the entrance so the snake will make a sound when it gets close, then find some smelly grass, squeeze out the juice, and smear it on the entrance of the hole.)"

As the goblin leader issued his instructions methodically, the other six members below quickly got to work.

Seeing this scene, the former's anger subsided somewhat.

It had only recently become the leader of the tribe and could only see fragmented memories of its members when they were dying, but this was enough to assess the danger posed by the enemy.

The yellow venomous snake in the memory exhibited nothing special except for a little intelligence and unusual muscle strength.

In the eyes of the goblin leader, they posed no significant threat whatsoever.

It also has six goblin warriors under its command. What can a mere snake do against it?

As long as we remain vigilant, this is not a reliable indicator.

The advantage lies with me.

Currently, our side is down three members, but apart from the riflemen, the scouts are essentially dispensable, so there isn't much loss and it won't affect subsequent operations.

The most important thing right now is still to prepare for the raid. Once we launch an attack on the village, everything will be fine.

According to information obtained yesterday, there was no sign of any able-bodied human men in the nearby village. Just as it had deduced, the men with martial prowess had been drawn to the fallen red dragon and gathered in the town.

Tomorrow night, when the silver moon rises, it will lead its people to transform that village into nourishment for the growth of its clan!

Then he would lead his people to dig three feet into the nearby forest, find the venomous snake, and devour it alive!

Thinking of this, the goblin leader bared his teeth, revealing a violent smile.
