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

Unlike before, even after accumulating all his points, Casper didn't feel any sense of security this time.

With a heavy heart, he opened the attribute panel.

His successful battle with the goblin tribe last time raised his energy level and also led to an overall strengthening of his body.

Now his brain no longer consumes energy and effort for thinking, and his bones and muscles are far stronger than those of ordinary small and medium-sized snakes. While maintaining speed, he also has explosive power. Under the same size conditions, even a giant python cannot compete with Casper in his current form.

On the other hand, the comprehensive enhancement of his mouth and fangs has given Casper 2-centimeter-long fangs that are disproportionate to his size, allowing him to easily pierce a leopard's fur and inject a lethal dose of venom into its body in an instant.

"But that's where the problem lies."

Unlike goblins, whose abilities are low in all aspects but whose numbers are overwhelming.

Leopards are solitary, super-killers.

Its sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive, making it difficult to sneak up on its target. Even if it succeeds in a single strike, the leopard will not die from the poison as quickly as it did from the goblin it had previously dealt with.

Given his size and the potency of the venom Kasper currently possesses, it would take approximately 15 to 30 minutes from the injection of the venom to the victim's complete death.

Realizing it was under attack, the leopard, in a fit of rage, was capable of taking Kasper down with it in a desperate fight.

While large felines are not natural predators of venomous snakes, their overwhelming strength and speed allow them to include venomous snakes, which other creatures avoid, in their diet.

The former possesses a powerful bite and claws as sharp as steel knives, capable of easily tearing through leather. Although its scales have been greatly enhanced, Kasper is still somewhat uncertain.

"The winning condition is to inject the venom into their body and then try to survive until they are poisoned and incapacitated. The odds of winning are, is it a little over 40%?"

This is the result that Kasper arrived at after comparing his own data with that of the leopard and taking all factors into consideration.

The size difference between the two meant it was going to be a contest of vastly different strengths, but Casper was not discouraged.

He could make full use of his inconspicuous body to scout along the leopard's scent trail, pinpoint its frequent haunts, and prepare for an ambush.

"Like I said, if you can't even protect the new recruits, what kind of boss are you?"

Kasper turned his head and looked at the bushes not far away, where the leopard had first appeared and last left.

Although the latter is no longer here, that faint sense of oppression still lingers in Casper's heart.

Under the sun's rays, his physical condition was nearing perfection.

Leopards are nocturnal, and they also move around at dawn and dusk, but at this time of day, which is close to noon, they should be resting and sleeping in shady areas such as trees or rock crevices.

Now is a good time to investigate the other party's activity area; besides, he's also a little hungry.

"Simba, I'm going out to get some things and I'll be right back. You stay here and don't move."

"clear……"

After giving instructions to the wolf cubs in the cave, Casper came down the slope and headed forward.

This is destined to be a time-consuming and laborious undertaking.

Kasper's current cruising speed is about 2 kilometers per hour, while the territory of an adult leopard usually covers an area of ​​20 kilometers in radius.

He needs to keep walking for 5 hours straight to complete half the journey.

Of course, he didn't expect to find out all the enemy's information in one go. He had observed the goblins for about two days before taking action.

Kasper has plenty of patience.

From near noon until afternoon, Kasper continued his journey, stopping to hunt squirrels and birds along the way to replenish his energy.

However, the leopard seemed intent on playing hide-and-seek with him.

Even though Casper followed the other person's pheromones, he couldn't find any trace of them.

After a busy day, Master Caspar looked up at the sky.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, and soon it would be dusk.

There were still Simba's hungry wolf cubs inside the cave, so it seemed that today's investigation had to end here.

"I'm home."

Kasper flicked his tongue, preparing to head home.

But at that moment, his gaze, which he had not yet withdrawn, caught sight of a familiar figure in the sky.

Before his brain could even process it, Casper's body had already reacted!

He quickly found the nearest crevice in the tree roots and hid his still-developing, slender body inside.

Kasper had never felt his heart pounding so hard. His body, which was created to reduce energy consumption, was now functioning with unprecedented efficiency.

But the former couldn't care less about that at the moment; his mind was filled with the scene he had just caught a glimpse of.

"What a load of bull! What the hell!"

Serpent carving.

The first formidable enemy I have ever encountered in this world.

As his strength increased, Kasper's fear of the serpent eagle had gradually dissipated, but based on what he had just witnessed, he roughly estimated that the creature's wingspan was exaggeratedly wide.

The wingspan of a normal serpent eagle is about 1 to 1.5 meters, and at most it is close to 2 meters.

The one Casper just saw had a wingspan of nearly 3 meters! Such wings are enough to support long-distance transoceanic cruising; calling it a raptor would be an understatement!

Kasper suddenly recalled the muffled flapping of wings he had heard in the tree hollow not long ago. It must have been the serpent eagle in the sky, most likely.

"How is that possible..."

Kasper was shocked, but before he could think any further, a menacing roar came from the distant jungle!

That's the sound of a leopard!

Kasper, who had been tracking his enemy for half the day, jumped down from a tree, his beastly eyes fixed on the enormous creature circling in the sky, his four paws gripping the ground, his body slightly lowered.

The top predator in the jungle has spotted the malevolent bird of prey and is trying to drive it away from its territory.

However, the giant serpent eagle above showed no intention of leaving. Instead, after circling in the air for half a turn, it swooped down on the leopard at an almost terrifying speed!
