"View learnable Skills."
Bai Zhe whispered; the screen refreshed with new info.
[Current Skill Points allow learning two Skills.]
[Color-Changing Camouflage: Active Skill... costs 5 Skill Points; level 0/5]
[Venomous Fangs: Active Skill... costs 5 Skill Points; current level 1/5]
Seeing this, Bai Zhe was speechless. He thought there would be new skills but it was just these two again.
He guessed these were beginner skills; to learn others, he needed a higher Evolution Level and more Skill Points.
But after consideration, Bai Zhe decided not to hoard the 5 Skill Points but spend them immediately.
Only while alive do Skill Points matter, and he needed more combat power now.
So without hesitation, he spent the 5 Skill Points upgrading his previously learned Venomous Fangs Skill.
['Venomous Fangs' Skill upgraded successfully. Now level 2/5.]
After the system beeped, Bai Zhe felt tingling in his upper jaw; his venom glands grew stronger and venom replenished.
His fangs also grew longer and tougher.
"I wonder how my venom's toxicity compares to other Venomous Snakes."
On Blue Planet, the most venomous snakes are from the cobra family and some sea snake subspecies, with very strong venom.
For example, Black-lipped Sea Krait and Belcher's Sea Snake.
Bai Zhe guessed that at max level, his Lethal Venom Skill would rival or exceed the most venomous snakes here.
Of course, this was only a guess; he needed to learn more over time.
Shaking his head, Bai Zhe cleared distractions and said, "System, open my Attribute Panel."
A screen appeared:
Host Attributes:
Evolution Level: 2
Evolution Points: 7/100 (Gained by hunting prey; triggers evolution at threshold.)
Skill Points: 0 (Awarded on leveling up; used to learn and upgrade Skills.)
Length: 60 cm
Skill: Venomous Fangs (2/5)
Task Progress: 47/10 million
...
Seeing the refreshed panel, Bai Zhe was excited. His length had grown from 35 cm to 60 cm, a 25 cm increase!
He was now a half-grown snake and could swallow adult rats. His jaws could open about 130 degrees, able to swallow prey two or three times his size.
But seeing the other attribute, he was stunned.
"Hm? Next evolution requires 100 Evolution Points."
Last evolution only needed 30 Evolution Points, now 100 were required.
He could only accept this.
"When will I reach 10 million Evolution Points?"
His attention shifted to the task progress.
Sighing, he realized completing this task was a long way off.
Shaking his head, he moved, ready to leave the nest.
After evolving, he was extremely hungry and planned to hunt some prey to fill his belly.
He climbed out smoothly. Night had fallen, but the jungle was lively with various insect sounds.
Bai Zhe flicked his tongue, checking for prey nearby.
Suddenly, he froze. A figure appeared ahead.
Bai Zhe fixed his gaze and saw a huge rat approaching. Both stopped, staring at each other.
[Target locked: Brown Mountain Rat! Devouring gains 15 Evolution Points.]
Looking at the rat, Bai Zhe's eyes gleamed; it was clearly the mother of the four pups he had eaten earlier.
What about the one he ate before? The father?
Unexpectedly, right after climbing out, he met the victim.
"Squeak!"
The rat suddenly screamed, seeming to discover something. It stared sharply at Bai Zhe with round eyes.
Faced with the furious gaze of the rat mother, Bai Zhe remained calm.
He flicked his tongue and approached the rat mother.
Normally, a running rat would outrun a snake, but if this mother wanted revenge and chose to fight, Bai Zhe didn't mind the family reuniting — all neatly lying in his belly.
