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

"gurrr! (Gather together!)"

Such heavy casualties made the goblin leader no longer dare to underestimate the enemy hiding nearby.

The remaining two goblins reacted quickly, standing back to back to ensure that there were no blind spots in their vision.

Three pairs of amber eyes scanned the surrounding ground.

As nocturnal creatures, goblins possess excellent night vision; with careful observation, they are sure to spot their prey.

Even though their gaze swept across the land and bushes inch by inch, they still couldn't find that yellow figure.

With nothing to show for it, anxiety spread like a virus through the hearts of the three goblins.

Where is it? What place? Has it left? Or is it hiding somewhere, preparing for the next attack?

"rustle……"

An unusual, faint noise suddenly came from above.

The goblin, wielding a scimitar and shield, suddenly looked up and saw the bright yellow snake shadow lunging towards him!

"gurrrrr (On top!)"

Even as it shouted, the goblin moved without the slightest hesitation, slashing its curved blade at the poisonous snake in the air!

Unable to move by leveraging the air, this strike will surely sever the snake's head!

However, just as the goblin grinned as it prepared for the anticipated carnage, the snake's body in mid-air suddenly twisted at a strange angle!

This small movement changed the landing point and angle of the scimitar, greatly reducing the power of the strike!

"Ding!"

A crisp clanging sound echoed through the dark forest. The goblin's scimitar failed to pierce the venomous snake's yellow scales, leaving it stunned in disbelief for a moment. Before it could draw its blade for a second attack, the snake was bitten in the throat.

Upon seeing this, the goblin leader on one side did not hesitate to kill both the scimitar goblin and the poisonous snake.

If you are bitten on the arms, hands, or feet, you can survive by cutting off the limbs. But if you are attacked on the neck, it means that the other person is already a living corpse.

The goblin leader felt no remorse at sacrificing a corpse to deal with such a troublesome enemy; he felt he had made a huge profit!

The blade severed the head of its kin without any hesitation, and before that, the yellow snake shadow dodged the attack with superhuman speed and quickly disappeared back into the darkness.

The goblin leader surveyed the scattered corpses of his kin around him.

The nine henchmen it had painstakingly gathered were all exposed by the enemy with just a few attacks.

Anger and frustration overwhelmed it, and it could no longer contain itself, raising its head and howling.

"gurrrrr!!! (Come out here if you dare!!!)"

It frantically slashed at the surrounding bushes with its short sword, hacking at the leaf-strewn ground.

Suddenly, a chill came from the side of the goblin leader, and it stopped its frenzied outburst and turned to look.

The yellow snake shadow no longer retreated immediately after an attack, but instead slowly crawled out from behind the uncle.

Only now did the goblin leader see clearly what this enemy, who had single-handedly almost wiped out its entire race, really looked like.

It's an ordinary snake, without horns or multiple heads, and its body size is only about one foot.

But for some reason, the moment the other party appeared, the anger within its body vanished silently, as if a weak flame had been suddenly placed in a fierce blizzard.

The other side seemed to understand its roar and responded. Its serpentine eyes stared at it and the remaining goblin archers, and with each flick of its tongue, a chilling killing intent washed over it like cold water.

A strange feeling.

The goblin leader swallowed hard.

They have the advantage in both numbers and strength, and venomous snakes are nothing more than food that can be found everywhere for their kind, but now the goblin leader has this feeling.

It and the archers beside it are the prey!

The goblin archer who had survived to this day did not have the same resilience as the leader. The moment he saw the venomous snake appear behind the old man, he immediately drew his bowstring taut and shot an arrow!

At such close range, the arrow traveled at incredible speed, heading straight for the snake's heart.

But such a fine arrow was easily dodged by the venomous snake with a slight shake of its body!

idiot!

The goblin leader was shocked and furious, but before he could even lash out, the snake that had been moving slowly launched a surprise attack!

"gurrrrr! (Don't come any closer!!)"

The goblin archer's fear reached its peak. It tried to grab an arrow from its quiver, nock it, and fire again, but in the blink of an eye, the distance between them had already been reduced by more than half.

It finally lost all courage and, ignoring the goblin leader, scrambled and crawled away into the dense forest!

But the goblin archer was no match for the snake's speed. He was overtaken in just a few steps, his ankles wrapped around the snake, and he fell to the ground.

The deadly fangs arrived as expected, ending the goblin archer's life.

Everything happened too fast. The goblin leader watched helplessly as his opponent killed his last subordinate, licking the blood gushing from the wound with his scarlet forked tongue.

In its extreme fear, the goblin leader calmed down. It did not run away, knowing that it would only lead to its death.

"gurrrr! (Die!)"

It raised its short sword again and charged at the venomous snake!

Vipers have never been known for their stamina, otherwise they wouldn't use ambush tactics.

Previously, it had launched multiple attacks from different directions, slaughtering all of its subordinates while also severely depleting its own strength!

It understands!

The reason why the other party showed itself was because its stamina was no longer enough to support it to change locations as frequently as before!

In the midst of intense tension, the goblin leader suddenly became even faster than usual.

The sharp dagger slashed down accurately at the venomous snake!

This seemed to have caught the snake off guard; it couldn't dodge and only twisted a few centimeters to the side.

The scales on the side that had withstood the slash were cut off by the sharp blade, and blood flowed out.

Overjoyed at the success of his attack, the goblin leader immediately drew his sword to strike again, but his arm suddenly felt stiff as he moved it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the slash from earlier had landed on the corpse of the dead goblin archer; the blade had only been pulled halfway out of the flesh!

The goblin leader decisively abandoned drawing his sword and placed the shield in his left hand in front of him, blocking the snake's head that was launched at him!

"Thump!"

A dull thud came from the wooden shield, and the force that followed made the goblin leader's arm go numb!

Ignoring all that, it grabbed the snake's upper body before it could retract and lifted it high into the air!

"gurrrr! (Gotcha!!!)"
