After eating, Xiao Teng carefully examined the information Zheng Qiang left on the dirt.
After memorizing the information, he used his tail to smooth the dirt and walked in the opposite direction of the mountain-clearing team.
Today was the third night of his Rebirth, and there were still four days until Inspiration Recovery. Xiao Teng did not plan to rest but chose to hunt under the cover of night to seize the time.
After ascending a few Realms, Xiao Teng clearly felt that his energy had become even more vigorous, and it didn't matter if he slept a little less.
Perhaps after a few more Realms, he would be able to go without sleep entirely.
"Only 300 evolution points left to Breakthrough to the next Realm. Let's do it in one go!"
After walking a distance, Xiao Teng discovered a cave. There was a fresh smell of urine at the entrance.
It must have been left by some animal marking its territory.
"So fresh? There must be an animal inside!"
Xiao Teng excitedly rushed into the cave.
Inside the cave, a two-meter-tall bear was lying on the ground, looking at the intruder with a bewildered expression.
As if saying,
Who are you? Why are you in my house?
When Xiao Teng's eleven-meter-long python body was fully displayed before the bear, the bear's scalp instantly tingled.
Then he quickly reacted, letting out a roar at Xiao Teng, standing upright to make himself appear larger.
"Whoa! A big one! I didn't expect such a large bear inside."
Deterrence was useless to Xiao Teng. Seeing such a large bear at this moment, Xiao Teng's eyes went straight.
"Such a big one should yield many evolution points!"
Xiao Teng's massive python body blocked the cave entrance. Xiao Teng did not retreat, and the bear had nowhere to retreat, so he could only fight to the death.
Roar~
After a roar, the bear raised his broad paws and smashed them towards Xiao Teng.
Bang!
The heavy bear paw struck Xiao Teng's python body, emitting a dull thud. Xiao Teng was unharmed, not even a scratch.
Instead, the bear's paws were numb from the Reverberation, and he retreated several steps.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Teng's eyes. As the bear tried to retreat, he suddenly charged forward, and his huge python body coiled around the bear.
His body was constantly being constricted, and the bear became anxious, opening his large mouth and biting the python wrapped around him, but it was useless.
Then, both bear paws furiously slapped the python wrapped around his chest, but the python remained motionless.
Xiao Teng applied a slight force, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
The air in his chest cavity was constantly squeezed, and the bear's eyes turned red from suffocation. A few minutes later, he completely lost his life.
"Ding! Killed an adult bear, evolution points +200!"
200 evolution points!
Xiao Teng was delighted, "It seems I can Breakthrough tonight!"
He casually bit the bear's corpse. Endless Devour could be activated by just biting a corpse; there was no need to devour the entire thing.
"Ding! Endless Devour is activating..."
"Ding! Congratulations on devouring the B-grade talent, Tenfold Power Amplification!"
"Devoured another talent, not bad!"
With the System's prompt, Xiao Teng instantly felt as if he had inexhaustible power within his body.
He casually swept his tail at a large rock. After a loud bang, the rock instantly shattered into pieces.
This was the power after a tenfold amplification.
"Haha! I'm getting stronger and stronger now!"
Xiao Teng felt that if he were to kill that bear again now, he would only need one tail sweep, and the bear would be down.
After all, even rocks could be easily pulverized. Xiao Teng's power had now reached an inconceivable level.
After gaining this talent, Xiao Teng's Aura became even more terrifying. Fortunately, he had the Aura Concealment talent to hide it.
After scanning the cave and finding nothing of interest, he retreated.
"This will be my new home from now on."
Xiao Teng looked at the cave entrance and nodded with satisfaction.
After growing longer, the original tree hollow could no longer accommodate Xiao Teng, so he had to find a larger place.
After exiting the cave, Xiao Teng continued to hunt.
He finally accumulated three hundred evolution points just as the first glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky.
Xiao Teng returned to the cave and cautiously checked it, finding no dangers.
"System, ascend Realm!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for ascending to the First Order of Metamorphosis. The next Realm, Second Order of Metamorphosis, requires 400 evolution points!"
"Detected that the host can evolve. Evolve immediately?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Teng closed his eyes, and his Aura continuously rose.
Two hours later, Xiao Teng opened his eyes again, and a massive Aura emanated from him.
The python was fifteen meters long, with a single horn on its head, and its scales were black and shiny, turning a translucent black.
Faint blue lightning flashed through the gaps in his scales, and terrifying thunder power brewed within his body.
Black Evil Thunder Python!
Xiao Teng exhaled and looked expectantly at the void, "Panel!"
"Species: Black Evil Thunder Python"
"Realm: First Order of Metamorphosis (0/400)"
"Status: Body length fifteen meters, maximum strength eighty tons, speed 30 kilometers per hour"
"Innate Talent: Endless Devour (SSS-grade)"
"Other Talents: Big Eater (D-grade), Aura Concealment (A-grade), Swiftness (D-grade), Steel Armor (B-grade), Copper Teeth and Sharp Fangs (F-grade), Killing Intent Perception (E-grade), Paralyzing Toxin (E-grade), Mental Manipulation (A-grade), Telepathy (F-grade), Comprehensive Enhancement (D-grade), Lightning Element Affinity (C-grade), Tenfold Power Amplification (B-grade), Lightning Breath (B-grade)"
"Evolution Points: 0"
With a maximum strength of eighty tons, a power greater than a truck collision, almost no creature could withstand it.
Xiao Teng's thought moved, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his mouth, striking the bear's corpse with a sizzling sound.
Instantly, the bear's corpse turned charred black, and the aroma of cooked meat permeated the air.
At the same time, Xiao Teng also felt a partial loss of stamina.
A giant python that could spit lightning.
A look flashed in Xiao Teng's eyes.
"This is completely extraordinary power."
"Can I master elemental power just by ascending to the First Order of Metamorphosis?"
"It seems my Lightning Element Affinity talent can come in handy."
Lightning Element Affinity could enhance the power of Lightning Breath and reduce its consumption.
"It might even be able to withstand bullets."
After evolving, his physical qualities were comprehensively strengthened, and his scales became even harder. Xiao Teng looked at the black and shiny scales on his body and felt a glimmer of confidence.
At this moment, Xiao Teng discovered A'Huang, who was trembling with fear.
Xiao Teng sent a mental message.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
"Hiss hiss~"
A'Huang cautiously extended his tongue, then let out a joyful hiss.
"Stay in the cave these few days and don't run around."
A'Huang nodded.
After evolving, his speed had increased significantly, and it was no longer easy to hunt with A'Huang.
The next Realm ascension would require 400 evolution points. With the current animal attributes, it would be much harder to ascend Realms as easily as before.
The stronger the animal killed, the more evolution points gained.
The sun gradually rose, and a glimmer of light shone into the cave.
There was a leak in the ceiling, allowing sunlight to enter.
Following the direction illuminated by the light, Xiao Teng saw the natural large pit in the corner of the cave, and a plan was born in his mind.
