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

Noon, the time when the sun is at its most dazzling.

The fireball, hanging high in the clear sky, released its light and heat onto the continent below without reservation.

Under its scorching heat, the leaves began to curl and turn yellow.

The hot and dry environment prompts many animals to seek out a shady spot away from direct sunlight to rest for an hour or two.

The shade of a tree is the ideal place to escape the summer heat.

Many small animals that originally lived in low bushes have also begun to move deeper into the dense forest.

"That's a good thing."

Kasper couldn't help but transform into Freud Peak and reflect on this in his heart.

There's always a period of sudden temperature rise before autumn and winter arrive.

Small animals gather in shady areas, so he doesn't have to travel to other places to find prey. This kind of food delivery is a wonderful thing.

Just yesterday at noon, Kasper spotted two small rodents at the entrance to the snake's den.

In addition, the fish and frogs he caught in the stream almost made him dizzy.

Fortunately, the hot weather boosted metabolism, preventing it from returning to the snake's den to sleep soundly.

Of course, the hot weather also has its downsides; you occasionally need to go to the stream to replenish your water.

To avoid being spotted by the serpent eagle, Kasper would usually wait until nighttime when the serpent eagle could not see before lazily dragging his bulky serpent body away.

Thanks to his sound survival strategy, the past two days, with the temperature rising, have yielded a rather pleasing harvest... no, a pleasing harvest of snakes.

Small rodents provide relatively few evolution points, about 3 to 5 per animal, fish provide 6 per animal, and frogs provide a fixed 3 per animal.

It was enough to fill his stomach, but it was far less than the alien crab that Casper had devoured before.

Kasper was not discouraged at all. Little by little, he accumulated a lot. Moreover, with the evolution of his stomach and intestines, his efficiency in digesting food has been further improved compared to before, and his abdomen can now hold more prey that is not fully digested.

If he were a human, he would be a super glutton with an enormous stomach.

"No more talk, no more chatter, let's get started!"

With this mindset, Kasper has gained about 20 evolution points in the past two days.

In addition, nutrition accelerated his growth.

At its normal growth rate, Kasper grows 2-3 centimeters per month and will become fully mature after one year.

In just two days, he had already completed a month's worth of growth tasks by absorbing the nutrients he had absorbed.

In addition to his hunting frequency being far greater than that of ordinary snakes, his improved digestive efficiency allows him to absorb all nutrients almost without any waste.

However, the rapid growth has also brought some problems.

"It's time to shed my skin."

Kasper felt his skin tighten and thought to himself.

Snakes molt every 4 to 6 weeks during their growth period, which is about one to one and a half months.

It completed a month's worth of growth in just two days, naturally and quickly ushering in the next molting period.

However, snakes' scales become extremely fragile during molting. If they are attacked during this period and lose the protection of their scales, they are very likely to suffer serious injuries or even die.

This is a rare period of great harvest, so how can we allow ourselves to stagnate because of it?

Just as Kasper was pondering this, a tinge of brownish-yellow at the edge of his field of vision alerted him.

He turned his head and saw a slender shadow standing not far away.

When Casper finally saw what it was, he was so shocked that he lifted his upper body off the ground and stuck out his tongue.

"Holy shit, Wong Tai Sin!"

Information about weasels flashed through Casper's mind.

This thing looks small, but it can actually be classified as a wild beast.

Not only because it can kill prey much larger than itself, but also because it is inherently ferocious and often kills more animals than it can eat.

Weasels mainly feed on small rodents, and occasionally prey on rabbits and pheasants. When food is scarce, they will also actively attack venomous snakes.

The crucial point is that the former can be considered the nemesis of small and medium-sized venomous snakes in every aspect.

It reacts quickly and moves nimbly, its teeth can easily break through the scales of ordinary snakes, and it has considerable resistance to snake venom. Even if the venom of an adult male is poisoned, it will only make him feel uncomfortable for a few days.

Large venomous snakes can use their strength and size advantage to successfully kill their prey by constricting them, but Kasper is only about 30 centimeters long, about the same length as its opponent.

Kasper's only reliance now is his body, which has been enhanced with evolution points.

Just then, the weasel, which had been hiding in the corner, seemed to realize that it had been discovered. So it quickly darted out and tried to get to Casper and entangle the giant spicy snack that was about the same size as itself.

The two were about ten meters apart, a distance from which the latter could have easily chosen to run away.

Snakes are not slow. There is a patch of exposed tree roots not far from here. If you hide there for a while, the weasel will leave on its own after a while, seeing that there is no chance to catch you.

Although you might be attacked from behind during this time, your reinforced scales will still be intact, causing only minor, painless injuries that will heal in a couple of days.

Kasper's mind raced.

But is that a good thing?

The weasel probably came here to hunt for food because it had already preyed on all the squirrels and rats in the neighborhood. This retreat means giving up all future prey and handing over the territory.

In a flash, Kasper made his decision.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Winter is fast approaching, and every evolution point is crucial. Abandoning territory is tantamount to a slow death.

It's just a tiny weasel; my venomous fangs have never been a disadvantage!

Instead of turning his head, he raised it.

A pair of snake-like eyes coldly stared at the weasel that leaped towards it, its tongue flicking in and out with a dangerous hiss.

The weasel stopped less than half a meter in front of Casper, its dark eyes fixed on him with a hint of curiosity.

Given the vast space, is this giant spicy snack not running away, but preparing to fight instead?

This unusual scene made it hesitant to act rashly, but its hunting instincts quickly overcame this apprehension.

The surrounding area was too barren, and it was starving and needed to replenish its energy!

Without hesitation, the weasel leaped to the side, then suddenly lunged forward, its sharp claws aimed at Casper's back, and slashed down fiercely!

But this attack, which could tear apart the scales of ordinary snakes, had no effect whatsoever.

That layer of scales, which looked completely ordinary, actually defended against the attack perfectly!
