Chapter 23 - Unexpected Surprise, Evolution Again

After the electric eel entered his stomach, Bai Chuan, who had completed the purpose of the trip, looked up at the thick fog that had begun to dissipate and knew that the sky was about to be completely bright.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go back after leaving the cave for a few days and prepare to evolve again.

Thus, the snake left the shore and crawled towards the forest. He swam quickly all the way.

Soon, Bai Chuan suddenly stopped. He turned his snake head and crawled back. Not long after, he stopped in front of a big tree and climbed up the tree trunk. In the end, he stopped near a tree trunk that did not have anything.

"This is?"

At this moment, his eyes clearly told him that there was nothing here. It was just an ordinary tree branch, but his thermal vision saw a heat source here. It is long and tapered on one side, with four small heat sources on the thick side.

He stared at this place and thought carefully for a while. A realization suddenly rose in his heart. Could it be…

"Bang!"

The next moment, a soft slap sounded. It was the sound of claws hitting the tree trunk. With a miserable cry, Bai Chuan felt a violent shaking in his claws. It was the struggling prey he had caught.

"Indeed." Bai Chuan looked at the little thing in his claws that was slowly taking shape and muttered to himself.

If he wasn't a snake, he would have laughed out loud. This was a surprise! Previously, he had always wanted to find such a magical animal, but he had never encountered it. Originally, he had already given up hope, but at this moment, he had blindly bumped into it.

What was the animal's name? Chameleon!

If there is a resonance between the abilities of all living things in the whole of nature, then what abilities are the most compatible with each other? What abilities did you want the most to cooperate with you according to your own abilities?

If Bai Chuan were to answer this question, he would definitely answer: Chameleon's Invisibility!

Poison + Invisibility. What a match made in heaven! It was simply one of the most difficult and terrifying abilities in nature. Think about it, a person who was always invisible and had an incomparably fatal poison was like a terrifying undead in the forest, constantly swaying in the forest. Who would dare to be arrogant? Who would dare to sleep soundly?

Are you crazy? Are you screaming? Alright, he'll sneak into your nest tonight and give you a hard time.

If human intelligence was added to the mix, then no one would be spared, be it beings as powerful as a tiger to beings as weak as a little white rabbit.

As the saying goes, a tiger's butt cannot be touched.

If Bai Chuan had such an invisibility ability back then, even if he was still in his initial state, he would dare to say that he could touch the butt of a tiger if he wanted to. Perhaps he would evolve and become stronger faster than he was now.

"The pillow really appeared when I was dozing off. Looks like I have another trump card." Looking at the chameleon struggling in his claws, Bai Chuan smiled and sighed.

Then, he grabbed it and swallowed it. It could be said that Bai Chuan was in a good mood as he embarked on his return trip.

...

After a day, Bai Chuan returned to the familiar luxurious cave.

He opened the interface directly and selected the models of the electric eel and the chameleon in turn. The next moment, their abilities popped up.

[Race: Electric Eel.]

[Abilities: Muscle Electricity Lv 2, Electricity Protection Lv 1, Diving Lv 1, Strength Lv 1, Electricity Detection Lv 1, Endurance Lv 1…]

...

[Race: Chamaeleonidae.]

[Abilities: Environment sSimulation Lv 2, Aura Convergence Lv 1, Climbing Lv 1, Organ Mutation (Tongue)…]

...

"There are so few abilities. Other than a few abilities that are either extremely useful or extremely powerful, they're basically ordinary. The scientific name of the chameleon is called Chamaeleonidae. I've gained knowledge."

Bai Chuan looked at the sparse abilities on it and subconsciously complained. However, the electric eel was able to rely on such little abilities to reach the point where there were almost no natural enemies in nature. It had to be said that some abilities were really beyond the scope.

After muttering to himself, Bai Chuan first looked at his remaining points. [Points: 23 (3%).]

Only then did he begin to prepare to strengthen it.

The familiar interface appeared again. Bai Chuan thought about it carefully. First of all, the electric eel's "Muscle Electricity" was necessary. With that thought, the electric eel's electric power immediately flew up and fell into Bai Chuan's model.

The next moment, a notification popped up:

[Please choose the ability evolution location.]

Following the notification on the interface, Bai Chuan saw two dots of light connected by a line appear on his model.

"This is?" Bai Chuan was stunned at first. Then, after continuously testing it, he understood that this was to let him choose the location where his ability would evolve.

Since the electric eel's Muscle Electricity ability was Level 2, Bai Chuan discovered that this ability could evolve a special two-meter-long power-generating muscle on his body. At the same time, if he chose to evolve too many of these special muscles, it might even affect the level of his Strength ability.

Once he chose the limit of two meters, his Level 2 Strength ability would drop to Level 1.

This was a conflict between abilities.

After understanding this point, he immediately zoomed in on his own model and looked at the body where the Muscle Electricity ability was located. At this moment, a large number of densely arranged thin muscles appeared. And there is a strange tissue connection between the thin muscles. The normal muscles from before had long disappeared.

Looking at these thin muscles, Bai Chuan suddenly thought of something—a battery! Yes, seeing this, he also remembered the electric eel knowledge he knew in his previous life.

The electric eel had the ability to generate electricity because it had a special power cell called an "electric plate" in its body. The cells formed a small battery-like muscle sheet in its body, and these sheets were arranged in a certain order.

Individual electricity generation was not strong, but when combined, the voltage and current were powerful.

At this point, Bai Chuan finally understood why their abilities clashed. Because the muscles that generated electricity had mutated, there was only one function left—generating electricity. When this special mutated muscle occupied his body, it would affect the muscles that normally provided him with strength. Therefore, there was a chain reaction, and his strength decreased.

The question was, should he choose a superpower like electricity generation or a powerful physical ability?

Bai Chuan thought about it carefully. He would choose the electricity generation, but he would not choose to evolve to a length of two meters. He would only choose 1.5 meters at the tail. With his current body length of more than 5 meters, it was quite worth it to take out 1.5 meters to evolve his electricity generation.

This was because the transformation of the tail part did not affect him particularly much. After all, most of the tail part of the snake was used to support balance and crawl.

Therefore, there was no harm in modifying the muscles.
