The first was a skill that could strengthen the defense on the surface of his body. It could make his snake-scale defense as tough as iron.
The other skill was a skill that could allow Wang Mang to heal quickly when he was injured. That regeneration ability was terrifying!
It was these two terrifying skills that made Wang Mang extremely arrogant!
As a result, he kept hunting stronger and stronger prey!
He started by hunting rats and hares.
Now, he was hunting medium- to large-sized prey like black bears, wild dogs, and goats!
Moreover, with the four skills, Wang Mang's hunting process became incomparably easy.
However…
What made Wang Mang feel a little helpless was that ever since he started hunting these medium-sized prey targets, he realized that the prey in this forest subconsciously thought that this area was his territory.
Therefore, many medium- to large-sized prey had chosen to leave this forest.
Eventually, in the forest that Wang Mang occupied, there were much fewer large and medium-sized animals!
…
Right then, in the pitch-black night...
A huge python that was as thick as a thigh and as black as ink was quickly slithering in search of prey in the forest!
His eight-meter-long body made many small- and medium-sized animals flee in fear.
This made Wang Mang feel very exasperated. Now that he was bigger, he would naturally be very conspicuous, and that made it much more difficult for him to hunt.
After all, if he continued to lie in wait as before, he would spend more time only to gain fewer prey.
At this rate, he would never be able to evolve again today. Wang Mang needed even more evolution points by now.
The first evolution required 100 evolution points.
The second evolution required 200 evolution points.
The third evolution required 400 evolution points.
The fourth evolution required 800 evolution points.
Tonight, he wanted to complete the fifth evolution.
Naturally, he would need 1600 evolution points!
He still needed 300 more evolution points to evolve!
'It's the last 300 evolution points! I have to hunt prey big enough to complete my evolution!'
Wang Mang thought helplessly.
This was even after he had already searched and devoured a lot of prey tonight.
After a long search, Wang Mang finally left this forest and arrived at the mountain range behind him.
It was because there was no prey that matched his needs in Wang Mang's forest near the reservoir.
Small- and medium-sized prey ran fast and were very vigilant. Wang Mang had no choice but to enter the forest of the mountain range behind him to find prey.
Thankfully, the new forest did not disappoint. As soon as he entered the mountain range, Wang Mang saw a large wild boar from afar. It looked like it weighed four to five hundred pounds.
This fat boar immediately got Wang Mang excited.
He was confident that he could kill this fat wild boar and evolve for the fifth time!
Wang Mang carefully slithered closer and closer.
However, to Wang Mang's surprise, the fat wild boar saw him not long after he approached.
Furthermore, not only did this fat boar not retreat, it even stared at Wang Mang and walked toward him.
The way it approached him told him everything he needed to know. Of course! Wild boars were omnivores. They would eat meat if it was readily available.
Moreover, Wang Mang's size was probably not too threatening to this wild boar. Wang Mang was only eight meters long, after all.
Actually, this wild boar was pretty bold. It actually targeted Wang Mang!
Wang Mang could not help but sneer inwardly.
At the same time, Wang Mang reared its two-meter-tall head like a king cobra. He stared at the boar coldly.
Wang Mang's actions made the wild boar subconsciously retreat and hesitate.
Clearly, it sensed a dangerous aura coming from Wang Mang.
Its senses were undoubtedly telling it that the python in front of it should not be provoked so easily!
There was no doubt that the wild boar did not act rashly. Instead, it circled Wang Mang.
Similarly, Wang Mang was also looking for an opportunity to attack. He wanted to ensure that he got the boar in one hit!
Once Wang Mang bit the wild boar and injected his venom into its body, this wild boar would literally be dead meat!
After a few minutes of stalemate, Wang Mang abruptly moved. Like a hidden arrow, his head shot forth and bit the wild boar's neck.
At the same time, while biting the fat boar, Wang Mang injected the poison that he had prepared in his fangs!
"Hrrrnghh~!" The boar wailed in pain, but soon it looked absolutely infuriated. It began a mad charge at Wang Mang, howling wildly.
Even though Wang Mang had already pulled his fangs out of the boar's flesh, he was still sent flying by the crazy wild boar's snout, fiercely smashing onto the ground.
He did not sustain any injuries, but Wang Mang did feel dizzy and disorientated.
However, when Wang Mang saw the wild boar charging at him again, he immediately slithered up a tree with a decently thick trunk.
Even so, the wild boar clearly did not give up. It kept gnawing on the tree, butting it with its head angrily.
Wang Mang was wholly unperturbed. His body was wrapped around the tree, and he stayed calm no matter what the big wild boar tried to do at the base of the tree.
That was because in less than fifteen minutes, this big wild boar would definitely collapse. Wang Mang had injected a lot of poison into it earlier!
Forget a wild boar, even an elephant would be felled within an hour.
Furthermore, the more the wild boar struggled, the faster the poison would take effect!
Therefore, Wang Mang only needed to wait for his prey to fall to the ground before he could enjoy the 500-pound wild boar.
This wild boar would be the biggest prey that Wang Mang had caught recently!
After devouring the boar, Wang Mang would be able to undergo his fifth evolution!
Once it was complete, his body would definitely become ten meters long!
