By repeatedly attacking the small hole, the Gaia centipede finally got broke into the underground river.
However, what greeted the raging centipede was the corpses of Leather and Iron skinned frogs lying on the ground and the decimated headless remains of Lesser black boa hanging on the bright blue-green wall of the cave as if it was some kind of decoration.
The Gaia centipede rushed towards a certain hole and put one of its legs inside, but its leg failed to get anything.
A raging roar resonated to the area, a few seconds later the centipede left to continue its relentless hunt.

Inside of one of the small routes inside the walls of the caves. About an hour after he completely obliterated his enemies.
"I don't think I still have the energy to fight that monster, so for now, I will take my retreat and fight her once I'm certain that I can actually beat her."
He stopped from floating.
"Maybe this spot is safe enough."

"Hmmm."
"Let see. I will put my skill point to fire magic, not because this is my favorite skill, it is not, and use my next skill points to my other skills after leveling some more."

[Evolution condition met.]
[Do you want to initiate the evolution process?]
"Of course I do!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
[Initiating evolution process.]
The light of his body flickered rapidly.
"I feel sleepy." His body slowly fell to the ground.
His light turned off and started the process of metamorphosis. The white particles from the mana around the area slowly gathered around him and penetrated his body. The same entire procedure was repeatedly happening all day and night while his body was just lying still on the stone floor of the small cave he was in.
As days passed a cocoon-like white covering slowly wrapped around him while the white particles were still appearing and penetrating his body. The whole process took full 8 days to complete, and it was finally over.
While all of his siblings were all gone at this moment, he was still here, seeking to strive. Equipped with his will to live, a goal that he was the only one who knows what, and the resolve to fulfill that said goal in any possible way.
Just like a metamorphosed butterfly, the thick cocoon that covering him moved, a luminous white light materialized from the inside, after some time, a powerful gust of wind magic blasted the thick covering away.
A new entity emerged from the worn-out white cocoon. The once half-centimeter white ball of light grew in size and evolved into a 1-centimeter white ball of light.
"I don't even know what to expect anymore."
[Evolution complete.]
[Due to your evolution.]
[Species hidden skill [Levitation] was evolved.]
[Skill [Maneuver level 1] was acquired.]
[Maneuver.]
[The ability to float and to control your floating acceleration at will. Movement speed varies depending on the level of the skill.]
[Due to your evolution.]
[All your current skill's level was raised by 1.]
[Congratulations, traveler.]
His giggle echoed around the area. "You don't need to go on your way to congratulate me you know, nevertheless, thanks."
"I want to check out my stats, lets see."

"Small nature spirit? At least I have already got rid of the word lesser, it a lot less sound weak now. And at last, my lifetime extended, I don't need to worry about it for the meantime."
"Hmmm."
"Just like I expected, I'm back to level one. However, it doesn't mean I became weaker, right? I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, I think my stats remained the same or much more became even stronger, right?"
"Right?"
[Correct.]
"Just like what you said earlier, Guide lady, all my skill levels were raised by one. But why do I have extra skill points available? Isn't it because I'm currently level one and evolving was considered as leveling up? If that's the case. Does that mean the next time I level up I going to receive 2 skill points? Because I got 2 skill points by being level 1."
[Correct.]
His body trembled as he giggled out of happiness. "Isn't that sounds great? 2 skill points per level is OP! Is this finally my lucky strike in life?"
"Hmmm."
"A new skill, Maneuver. You said it's one of my species skills, right? It evolved and is no longer hidden. Now that I mentioned it, how many hidden skill has my species have?"
[The species of Nature's spirit has 2 hidden skills, [Levitation] and [Hibernation].]
"I see, so my current hidden skills at this moment are Hibernation and you, Traveler's guide?"
[Correct.]
"I see, I see. Then, why do I have you as my hidden skill? What is the purpose of that God of war, why he sent me here?"
[Confidential information.]
"We are already together for a month you still don't want to share some juicy information with me? Does your creator that great that you wouldn't even dare to sell him out?"
[Correct.]
"Don't correct me! That was a rhetorical question!" He shouted while moving his body up and down.
"Whatever, I'm just going to put my 2 available points to my Thunder and Wind magic, and put some on water magic next level."
After lying on the ground for days he finally moved again, due to his new skill Maneuver, his movement was quite quicker than before.
"And now, let's go hunt for some experience points."
