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

In the natural world, battles are fought without pre-battle announcements or signals to launch an attack.

The two creatures might only need to discover each other to trigger an extremely fierce battle.

"Is the serpent eagle trying to hunt the leopard?"

Kasper remained motionless in the shadows.

Leopards may not possess the terrifying strength of tigers, but their jumping ability and agility surpass the latter, making them a well-rounded fighter among large felines.

It is fast enough to hunt down antelopes, and in the water it can entangle and fight with crocodiles and pythons.

Moreover, its vertical jump height can reach an astonishing 6 meters, equivalent to the height of a two-story building!

This special skill allows them to catch birds that are not alert and are flying low, when the time is right.

Although the serpent eagle has an air superiority advantage, once it enters the attack range of the leopard's leaping attack and suffers wing damage, the offensive and defensive situation between them will be instantly reversed.

Therefore, even large birds of prey are unwilling to provoke leopards, and they can be said to keep to themselves.

But now, an extremely rare scene is unfolding before Casper.

A super-sized raptor with a wingspan of three meters launched an attack on a near-omnipotent apex predator on the ground. What was the final result?

The serpent eagle swooped down at incredible speed, like a giant black arrow shooting straight down, and was already close to the ground in the brief moment Kasper was pondering.

At the same time, the leopard also jumped!

The two sides clashed head-on, but the result was beyond Kasper's expectations.

Before the leopard, which had just lifted off the ground, could even touch the giant serpent eagle's body with its sharp teeth and claws, it was already severely injured by the eagle.

Those sharp claws were like steel knives, which actually broke through the leopard's hard skull and pierced deep into its brain!

The latter didn't even have time to scream before their life was ended.

The terrifying kinetic energy from the dive slammed the leopard's body, which had been leaping for less than half a second, back to the ground at an even faster speed. The impact of its body against the ground produced a terrifying sound like muffled thunder, and the vibration could be felt even by Casper, who was quite a distance away!

The serpent eagle landed, stirring up fallen leaves and dust that obscured its form, making it difficult to see clearly.

But Caspar still saw the iconic beak.

Its beak seemed to have been attacked by something, losing a piece, but this did not diminish the giant serpent eagle's intimidating power in the slightest; instead, it added an indescribable ferocity.

"It really is it."

Kasper was startled.

He had been wondering if it was another entity in the same area, so this unique wounded beak couldn't be faked.

The other party was the serpent eagle that had been chasing him ever since its bird eggs were stolen!

Besides that, Kasper saw something else in him.

As the beak extends, the fine red scales next to the eagle eyes on either side of the head, close to the base of the beak, appear particularly striking.

"Are those... dragon scales?"

Kasper thought to himself, lost in thought.

Before he could take a few more glances, the serpent eagle had already flapped its wings.

The enormous wings once again kicked up dust on the ground, and the latter, with its sharp claws tightly gripping the lifeless leopard, effortlessly took to the air.

In just a few breaths, it had become a black dot on the distant horizon.

Kasper was unable to calm down for a long time after watching the other person leave.

The leopard, which he had racked his brains and made many preparations before daring to challenge, was casually killed by the serpent eagle right in front of him.

As for the reason behind it, Kasper already had a guess in his mind.

The extra red scales on the serpent eagle's face are undoubtedly dragon scales.

Those are characteristics that only dragon-blooded creatures possess, which proves that the other party obtained dragon bloodline through some unknown means.

Its origin is undoubtedly the red dragon that fell into the mountains.

"This is extraordinary power."

An ordinary serpent eagle, after obtaining dragon blood, can transform into a terrifying raptor that surpasses the ordinary and can kill a leopard in one blow.

Such a transformation can only be described as a complete metamorphosis.

But such power was not enough to instill fear in Kasper; what truly made him bewildered was the weight of the word "extraordinary."

There have never been any decent supernatural beings in this mountain range that has been swept away by humans every now and then, so Kasper's perception of this concept has always been like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, knowing about it but not experiencing it personally.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, I am deeply moved.

After obtaining dragon blood, the serpent eagle could barely be considered a magical beast, and even conservatively speaking, it wouldn't be considered a high-level existence.

What about the higher-level magical beasts above that? And what about fantasy species, elves, dragons, and the human race, which has carved out vast territories among these terrifying races and reached its peak? What kind of power do they possess?

Kasper couldn't help but tremble.

But this trembling was not due to fear, but rather excitement.

It's like the leaf that was blinding us has been brushed away, finally allowing us to see the real world, and everything seems to have become brand new!

"This world is so vast!"

How many other strange species are there that he doesn't know about, and how many mysteries remain unexplored?

Do the gods that humans have passed down and worshipped through oral tradition truly exist? Are the two great dragon gods in dragon legends, the benevolent king Bahamut and the evil dragon queen Tiamat, still alive?

Kasper took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He tried to remind himself that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In such a world fraught with both danger and opportunity, it would be such a waste to die in some remote corner of the world and give up this hard-won chance at rebirth.

He must proceed cautiously and carefully, evolving little by little.

But Kasper did not leave immediately. Instead, he came out of his hiding place and crawled toward the spot where the serpent eagle and the leopard had collided.

The confrontation and collision between the two apex predators startled all the other animals in the vicinity, causing them to retreat in fear.

But this gave Casper an excellent opportunity to snag a bargain!

When a serpent eagle kills a leopard, it uses its claws to pierce the leopard's brain and body, so there must be blood left at the place where they fought.

The blood of a powerful creature like a leopard will surely bring him a huge number of evolution points, and there is a greater chance of obtaining new attributes.

"Getting rich by picking up trash is not shameful."

With that thought in mind, Casper quickened his pace and arrived at the target area in no time.

The ground was now riddled with a small crater from the collision between the serpent eagle and the leopard.

Casper's snake belly sensed the unusually solid ground and silently mourned for the leopard for a second.

Such an impact would shatter even if the brain wasn't completely crushed by the claws, but would shatter most of the bones in the body, making death a blessing.
