Under the moonlight, this poisonous snake was none other than Bai Chuan. As the saying went, it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But he, Bai Chuan, was not a gentleman!

Yes, reason told him that his future was limitless. As long as he endured it, he would definitely be invincible in the future and there would no longer be anything he needed to be afraid of. But that was in the future.

Why was he crazily evolving and hunting every day to accumulate points? Wasn’t it because he wanted to evolve to become more perfect and stronger? Only by evolving more perfectly could he experience the beauty of this world again. Only by evolving stronger would he not have to suffer anymore.

If it wasn’t, why would he work so hard for it? In any case, wouldn’t it be better to live like a normal King Cobra? It was precisely because he had been wronged and helpless enough in his previous life that he only wanted to live wantonly in this life and not compromise anymore.

It was just a small and medium-sized bird of prey. Did he have to suffer so much? He was the Viper King with human intelligence! Was it difficult to deal with an unintelligent bird of prey?

Yes, as a bird of prey, it was innately invincible against land creatures. As long as it was not arrogant and careless, it could immediately escape when it saw that the situation was not good. But could it really fly in the air without landing?

That might not be the case. The knowledge from the Big Bang in his previous life made him understand that no matter what creature it was, as long as it was a mortal body, it would still be tired and needed to rest.

This break was the best time for him to attack.

Perhaps other animals could not do this even if they knew, but he was different. What was the greatest characteristic of human intelligence? That was to observe the current situation of things and summarize the patterns to solve the problem.

In the past three days, he had first confirmed its range of activity. Then, according to the bird knowledge in his memory, he quietly searched for its nest in this range of activity. Then, he confirmed its rest time again.

Just like that, after four days of searching, he was finally ready. In the middle of the night, when the bird was sleeping, he was like an uninvited guest. Because of this, he even changed the King Cobra’s routine.

One had to know that the cobras had always gone out in the day and returned at night. In order to take revenge, he had turned into a night operation.

…

Recalling his hard work over the past few days, Bai Chuan no longer dawdled. The muscles on his snake body tightened as he accumulated strength. He swooped down and bit the goshawk’s neck. Subsequently, it coiled its thick and powerful snake body tightly around the eagle’s body, especially its sharp claws.

It had to be known that creatures like the King Cobra rarely saw them use their snake bodies to wrap around and attack when they hunted. This was because their thick scales and lethal venom gave them the confidence to only bite their prey and not let go until they died.

Only a small number of King Cobras of the same species would coil around their prey. Of course, this also showed that the King Cobra’s binding ability was not strong, but it did not mean that it was of no use at all. From this, it could be seen how serious Bai Chuan was.

The sharp pain finally woke the goshawk up, but it was too late. It was only a 50 centimeters tall bird with a wingspan of more than a meter. How could it be a match for the three-meter-long Viper King?

Not to mention that at this moment, it was already entangled by the thick and powerful snake body. Its neck was bitten, its wings could not extend, and its claws were tied up. Not long after, Bai Chuan felt the struggle of the prey in his arms weaken, and its body began to slowly stiffen.

When Bai Chuan was completely sure that the poison had taken effect, he slowly released his body, and the goshawk breathed its last.

At this moment, Bai Chuan moved the snake’s head over and looked at it. Very good, it was indeed bald. This meant that he had found the right target. Then, he glanced at the sky and realized that it was still early. He began the feast. He was probably one of the few venomous snakes that ate eagles.

…

By the time Bai Chuan finished eating the goshawk and returned to his tree hole, it was already dawn. This was supposed to be the time he went out in the past, but now it was time to rest. It had to be said that he had been exhausted from taking revenge.

Fortunately, everything was worth it.

It had already been six days, and he had already accumulated 60% of his points. Soon, he would have a little more. As for how to use these points, he had not thought it through. In the end, he still knew too little about biology. As he thought about it, he fell into a deep sleep.

At dusk, he slowly woke up after sleeping for almost a day.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to open the interface and look at the Ability Structure Library. There was an additional model there.

…

[Ability Structure Library: Rat, Deinagkistrodon, Brocade Snake, Frog, Goshawk.]

…

After staring at it for a while, he clicked on the goshawk model. In the blink of an eye, a transparent goshawk that was emitting a blue light soared into the sky and landed in front of him, spinning slowly.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen an eagle model so directly. Sharp eyes, curved and hard eagle beak, thick and sharp claws, and a majestic posture. One couldn’t help but exclaim, what a handsome bird!

At the same time, the goshawk’s ability popped up.

[Race: Goshawk.]

[Ability Structure: Flight Lv 2, Claws Lv 2, Clairvoyance Lv 2, Digestion Absorption Lv 1, Strength Lv 1 (Chest Mutation), Bird Bone Lv 1 (Flight Mutation)…]

“Hiss! So… so many abilities! There are actually three Level 2 abilities, and… and… it actually had the… Digestion Absorption!”

Looking at the incomparably rich interface, Bai Chuan only gasped in surprise at first. He could not help but admire the eagles as one of the kings in the sky. Even if it was not top-notch birds of prey, its abilities were still so rich.

Until he looked down and suddenly discovered an ability, “Digestion Absorption”! At this moment, the surprise came so suddenly that he was so excited that he lost his voice.

After he reacted, he laughed maniacally. “Hahaha~ Looks like the heavens are really helping me. It’s really a blessing in disguise. Finally, I’ve found the ‘Digestion Absorption’! This time, I’m on my way to soar!”

It could not be blamed that he was so excited, because anyone who knew his interface ability knew one thing. Once he had the ability, Digestion Absorption, what kind of soaring would happen?

In the past, no matter how much he ate, he could use the passive ability of the interface to start digesting crazily. Unfortunately, no matter how fast he digested it, as long as his absorption ability could not keep up, the energy produced by the digestion could only be wasted.

It was also because of this that he only had this ability once a day, causing him to need ten days to accumulate a little. Moreover, he had to hunt crazily every day. However, it was different now. The strengthening of his digestion allowed him to not rely on the interface ability to digest it once a day. Instead, he could digest it quickly at all times.

The increase in his absorption ability meant that he could absorb more energy in a day. The more energy he absorbed, the less time he needed to accumulate points.

There was no need to explain what the reduction in time meant. The faster the number of points was generated, the faster the evolution of more powerful abilities and even more powerful level 2 abilities.

At this moment, he was so excited that he didn’t even care about the thermal cheek cavities and eagle-type clairvoyance that he had been thinking about day and night.
