Chapter 5: Mysterious Aurora! The Recovery of Spiritual Energy Begins!

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.1 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.3 Evolution Value!"

"Ding!"

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

"......"

In a river within the mountains, a giant snake could be seen frantically devouring the fish and shrimp in the water. This giant snake was extremely fast; no fish or shrimp could escape, and some were even devoured by the giant snake before they could react.

This giant snake was Lu Chuan.

As time passed, relying on his powerful Rapid Digestion ability, he devoured all the fish and shrimp in this river in just half a day.

Now, even with a careful search, it was difficult to find any remaining prey, so he slowly swayed his body and swam toward the riverbank.

At this moment, Lu Chuan's thoughts stirred, and after scanning his information panel, he saw that he had accumulated 10 Evolution Value, and he couldn't help but ponder secretly.

"I still need 20 Evolution Value to level up again. It seems I need to speed things up."

"And since there is no more prey in this river, I can only go elsewhere to continue hunting and devouring."

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan had already arrived on the bank.

The continuous devouring just now had consumed a portion of his strength, so he rested here briefly before flashing his figure again and heading directly into the mountain forest.

He knew that in his current state, although he could handle ordinary people, if he encountered a master like that woman, he would have to take it seriously to avoid being captured again.

Therefore, he needed to find other prey to devour and strengthen his power.

In a flash, three days passed just like that.

At this time, a wild rabbit was hopping about in the mountain forest, occasionally stopping to twitch its nose a few times; it seemed to have discovered something, so it changed its direction slightly and continued hopping forward.

This wild rabbit looked very relaxed, searching for food just as it usually did.

"Rustle—"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the jungle, and the nearby weeds swayed a few times as a result.

Just as the wild rabbit turned its gaze over, it saw a giant snake suddenly dart out. Before it could react, the giant snake quickly opened its mouth and bit into the rabbit's body.

Subsequently, the giant snake's thick body quickly coiled around it, and within a few seconds, the wild rabbit was unable to move.

Immediately after, a drop of crystalline liquid sprayed out from the two sharp fangs in the giant snake's mouth, causing the wild rabbit to struggle violently a few times before kicking its legs and becoming completely motionless.

The wild rabbit was struck by snake venom and died from the poison in no time; the giant snake did not stand on ceremony and devoured it directly.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful consumption, obtained 0.7 Evolution Value!"

Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Lu Chuan was satisfied and immediately opened the system panel to check.

Name: Lu Chuan

【Age: 2 and a half years old】

【Race: Silver Ring Snake】

【Level: Mortal Tier Mid-stage (30/0)】

【Skills: 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: 30.3】

"Thirty Evolution Value, enough for me to level up."

Seeing the information above, Lu Chuan was not surprised, and then he directly added these 30 Evolution Value to his level.

He had been hunting in the forest these past few days just for this moment.

Hum—

In an instant, Lu Chuan felt a scorching power surging within his body. This power seemed to possess a magical charm, constantly changing his physical condition.

Moreover, as time passed, this scorching power brought him waves of pleasant sensations.

Lu Chuan quietly enjoyed it all, and not long after, he felt a distinct sense of growth in his body.

He himself noticed that his current resting place seemed a bit cramped; just by slightly twisting his body, he pushed away nearby stones, and the trees and weeds were all flattened.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt that the scorching power was slowly fading and his body was gradually calming down, so he slowly opened his eyes and curiously checked his own status.

At this time, Lu Chuan's body had undergone a great change; the length alone reached an astonishing 15 meters, which was a behemoth-like existence among all snakes, not to mention that his snake body was as thick as an adult's thigh.

"Now, I am already at the Mortal Tier Late-stage."

Lu Chuan glanced at the information panel, and the relevant information was immediately revealed: 【Level: Mortal Tier Late-stage (100/0)】

He couldn't help but feel completely relieved.

"After working hard for so long, I have finally leveled up successfully, and the benefits brought are even more than I imagined."

He looked at his current body, very satisfied. At the very least, this size could already be called a python, and in the natural world, he was among the top predators; basically, there were not many wild beasts that would be stronger than him.

What's more, he was still a Silver Ring Snake carrying highly toxic venom...

No, now he should be called a Silver-banded Python. With these dual means, he could almost do whatever he wanted!

"100 Evolution Value!"

Looking at the Evolution Points required for the next level-up, Lu Chuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the higher the level, the more Evolution Points required, but it is still worth it."

"It seems I will have to work even harder in the future!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan set his sights on some larger animals in the mountain forest, his eyes revealing an excited glow.

As time passed, it had been nearly half a month since Lu Chuan escaped from Jiang Luoli. During this period, although Jiang Luoli had not given up on tracking Lu Chuan, she had not searched for him in person.

In Jianghai City, on the rooftop of the Changsheng Group, a woman stood there with a calm expression, her gaze falling upon the gorgeous and enchanting night view below; after a long while, she took out her phone to check it, then looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something.

At this moment, Jiang Luoli whispered, "Half an hour left..."

A moment later, the hours, minutes, and seconds all returned to zero, naturally reaching 12:00 midnight.

It was precisely at this time that a brilliant aurora suddenly appeared in the firmament, soon attracting the attention of many people, all of whom were filled with astonishment.

After all... a place like Jianghai City would never see an aurora.

"It's here!"

On the rooftop of the Changsheng Group, Jiang Luoli tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, but the hand holding her phone was still trembling incessantly, and her eyes were fixed tightly on that aurora, her gaze incomparably radiant.

"The Spiritual Energy Revival has begun!"
