Chapter 2: Crazy Devouring! Poison King Formed!

In the center of the dark and deep cave, various rustling sounds arose, and one could see dense swarms of poisonous creatures tearing at and devouring one another.

In just a short moment, nearly one-tenth of the poisonous creatures had been consumed.

The poisonous creatures that successfully survived became increasingly bloodthirsty, their attacks growing more ruthless, and even their bodies began to radiate a terrifying aura, causing the remaining creatures to not dare to get too close.

Clearly, these poisonous creatures showed signs of potentially becoming the new generation of Poison King, and they were currently accumulating strength.

Lu Chuan watched for the right moment from the side, and seeing a poisonous creature off guard, he struck with lightning speed, fiercely biting a poisonous spider, then immediately ran to the edge of the battlefield; from his two sharp fangs, a crystalline substance sprayed out continuously.

As the venom was injected, the poisonous spider's body twitched rapidly, and soon it stopped struggling, lying motionless.

Lu Chuan immediately began to devour it in large gulps, the excitement in his heart driving him to constantly increase his speed.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.5 Evolution Value!"

At present, under the stimulation of the "Blood Spirit Array" and "Gu Powder", the poisonous creatures present had already lost their reason, caring only about devouring each other to become the final victor.

Slaughter was the only thought in their minds.

Only Lu Chuan retained his reason, not forgetting to guard against the other poisonous creatures while devouring.

And every time Lu Chuan attacked, regardless of whether he succeeded, he would immediately distance himself from the core of the battlefield to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the other poisonous creatures; only in this way could he ensure his own safety to the greatest extent.

Compared to small poisonous creatures like spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, Lu Chuan had a natural advantage in one-on-one situations, allowing him to be superior to these creatures from the start.

Furthermore, he did not face the other poisonous creatures head-on, so every time he attacked, he had a harvest.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.5 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.5 Evolution Value!"

"......"

It was unknown how much time had passed, but relying on the "sneak attack" tactic of having no martial virtue, Lu Chuan had already devoured nearly ten poisonous creatures and accumulated 4 points of Evolution Value.

Although this amount of Evolution Value seemed small, it was currently very critical.

"It is time to distribute them."

Looking at these Evolution Values, Lu Chuan moved his mind and added 2 points of Evolution Value each to 【Agility (Intermediate)】 and 【Rapid Digestion (Intermediate)】, upgrading these two skills to Advanced.

In an instant, Lu Chuan only felt a thread of warmth flow through his body.

With a slight movement, he felt that his speed had increased significantly.

He felt the improvement in his digestive ability even more clearly.

If he could consume one prey in the same amount of time before, now after the upgrade, he could consume at least two and a half, which made it easier for him to hunt and digest, and his efficiency had improved quite a bit.

This allowed him to devour and evolve, growing at a faster speed.

In the time that followed, Lu Chuan continued to hunt, and from time to time, sounds rang out in his mind, seemingly heralding the birth of a new king.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.5 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.5 Evolution Value!"

"......"

Meanwhile, outside the cave, the entrance was blocked by an iron gate, and while the poisonous creatures inside were killing each other, it was somewhat quiet here.

Jiang Luoli sat cross-legged outside the cave entrance, her breathing rhythm very strange—at times heavy, at times faint and silent, as if she had fallen into a wondrous state.

A moment later, she slowly opened her eyes, a flash of eerie color passing through her beautiful eyes.

She took a bamboo tube from her waist, and inside was a large poisonous spider.

This poisonous spider was covered all over in variegated, dangerous colors, and the moment it met Jiang Luoli's gaze, its eyes seemed to flicker, and an extremely strong sense of cruelty emanated from within.

Jiang Luoli only glanced at it before pricking her finger and dripping a drop of fresh blood inside; the poisonous spider immediately began to suck it up, and strange auras continuously permeated outward.

This poisonous spider that fed on fresh blood was one of Jiang Luoli's Gu Insects, though it had not yet grown up.

Staring at the feeding poisonous spider, Jiang Luoli thought to herself: "Although the Spider King Gu cannot compare to the 'Gu King' refined by the 'Poison King', if it is cultivated, it can also be considered a decent help."

"Before the 'Gu King' is successfully refined, it is still a decent help."

After finishing all this, Jiang Luoli stood up and looked up at the iron gate of the cave; beside her ears were the roars or shrill cries emitted by the poisonous creatures as they fought, and the great battle was still continuing.

Seeing this, she was silent for a moment, then whispered to herself: "Wait another three days."

"After three days, no matter the situation, this 'Gu raising' should end."

"Finally over!"

"After fighting for so long, I actually don't feel much fatigue!"

Three days of time passed in a flash, but for the poisonous creatures, it was hell.

After all, for any poisonous creature to survive, it had to fight until the very last moment to become the sole victor.

At this time, inside the cave, Lu Chuan no longer knew how many poisonous creatures he had devoured, and the figures of other poisonous creatures could no longer be seen, but this life-and-death battle had already drawn to a close.

Because he was the only one left in the cave, and the endless slaughter had caused a layer of mysterious blood-colored light to flicker on his body; it seemed to be the victor's battle medal, flaunting his strength.

All the other poisonous creatures had actually been devoured by him alone!

Lu Chuan moved his mind slightly, and a light screen appeared in his mind, with information about him in various aspects also quickly revealed.

Name: Lu Chuan

【Age: 2 and a half years】

【Race: Silver Ring Snake】

【Level: Mortal Stage Initial (10/0)】

【Skill: Climbing (Advanced) + Camouflage (Advanced) + Ambush (Advanced) + Highly Toxic (Advanced) + Swimming (Advanced) + Night Travel (Advanced) + Rapid Digestion (Advanced) + Perception (Advanced) + Agility (Advanced); consume 30 Evolution Points to upgrade an Advanced skill.】

【Evolution Points: 10】

"All my existing skills have been raised to Advanced; I didn't expect to have Evolution Points left over."

Lu Chuan looked at his remaining Evolution Points, feeling quite emotional inside, but this also showed how many venomous creatures he had killed over these three days to achieve such a harvest.

In this short period, he was almost tireless, regardless of his opponents, constantly caught in a cycle of slaughter, devouring, and digestion.

Although he had initially used Evolution Points to upgrade his skills to facilitate the killing, soon enough, none of the venomous creatures were his match, so he simply let loose with the slaughter, regardless of anything else.

Now that he had tallied them up, Lu Chuan had actually accumulated 10 Evolution Points; it was quite a significant harvest.

"There's no need to keep these Evolution Points; I'll use them all."

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan moved his mind, and subsequently, all 10 Evolution Points were added to his level.

In an instant, he could feel a mysterious power surging directly into his body, and the aura around him was also changing rapidly! (End of chapter)
