Bai Zhe glanced at the sky; night was still some time away. He had enough time to hunt a few more prey.
"Hm? There's a Golden Thread Frog!"
His eyes lit up as he spotted a frog ahead, its belly swelling as it hunted insects.
"Hehe, this Golden Thread Frog is also adult. After eating it, I'll meet the upgrade condition!"
Cheerful, Bai Zhe quietly crawled forward.
He kept some distance from the frog but moved slowly; the closer he got, the more patient he became.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a black shadow leapt from a bush and snatched the Golden Thread Frog, then looked toward Bai Zhe.
Startled, Bai Zhe fixed his gaze on the shadow.
Boom!
Seeing the true form of the shadow, Bai Zhe shuddered in shock.
A wildcat!
What appeared before him was a wildcat!
Wildcats prey on rodents, insects, small amphibians, and birds, and are natural enemies of snakes.
Seeing the wildcat glaring at him, Bai Zhe felt the urge to curse. Despite being very cautious, he still met such trouble!
This was a deadly confrontation!
[Ding, target locked: Jungle Wildcat! Devouring gains 150 Evolution Points!]
Damn it!
Hearing the system's voice, Bai Zhe cursed in his mind.
Giving 150 Evolution Points, but if he didn't get eaten by it first, that would be lucky!
The wildcat was about the size of a normal adult house cat, roughly forty centimeters long, but its gaze was far sharper.
The wildcat was busy gnawing the Golden Thread Frog but fixed its eyes on Bai Zhe.
"Damn, this beast is really targeting me!"
Bai Zhe felt his scales bristle. He read danger from the wildcat's eyes.
What to do? What to do?
His mind raced; though the situation was dire, he remained clear-headed, thinking of a countermeasure.
He had Venomous Fangs!
But the wildcat was very agile; who knew if he could bite it?
And even if bitten, how fast would the venom act?
If the venom only worked after the wildcat bit him to death, it would be useless!
So no head-on confrontation!
"Whoosh!"
The wildcat crouched and sprang like a spring toward Bai Zhe.
"Damn it, I'm not easy to mess with either!"
Seeing the wildcat's attack, Bai Zhe cursed.
Unable to outfight or outrun it, he decided to outsmart it — seeking a slim chance for survival.
Though the wildcat was strong, Bai Zhe wasn't without hope; after all, he possessed a human soul in his snake body — intelligence far surpassing the wildcat.
And he had his weapon: Venomous Fangs!
He couldn't clash frontally but aimed to strike vulnerable spots like the eyes and nose.
Thinking this, he twisted sharply to dodge the wildcat's pounce.
Then he raised his head, muscles tensed, lunging at the wildcat's eyes.
Sharp Venomous Fangs shot out, venom ready to strike!
At that moment, Bai Zhe's pupils suddenly contracted.
From this angle, he saw the wildcat's entire body.
On its hind leg was a gaping wound, seemingly clawed deeply.
In a flash, Bai Zhe recalled the Falcon's image.
"Hahaha, heaven helps me."
He chuckled. No wonder the wildcat's pounce seemed clumsy — it was injured, and badly.
"Meow!"
The wildcat, surprised by Bai Zhe's attack, jumped back, slapping down one paw toward him in midair.
"Smack!"
Bai Zhe's head was hit and he fell to the ground.
He grimaced in pain; damn, cats really are agile.
But the thought passed quickly. Bai Zhe ignored the pain and leapt up again, attacking the wildcat.
This time, his Venomous Fangs sprayed two jets of venom at the wildcat's eyes!
"Zzzz!"
The venom shot out like two water jets toward the wildcat.
"Meow!"
The wildcat, just landing, leapt up again but not as high this time.
One venom jet hit its left eye.
"Meow!"
The wildcat let out a piercing scream and fled in panic.
Bai Zhe saw blood pouring from the torn wound on its hind leg.
With its eyes struck by venom and the leg injury, the wildcat's survival would be difficult.
