C2 Infinite Evolution System
Upon hearing the system's alert, Lin Yuan felt a chill run through him.
As a mere ordinary black snake, how on earth could he stand a chance against a level 1 demon beast?
Without a second thought, Lin Yuan bolted straight for the cave.
Now, the cave was his only sanctuary, his only sliver of safety.
Thankfully, the system alert had primed him, and with his quick reflexes, Lin Yuan easily darted into the cave to take cover.
He didn't even dare peek out from the entrance; instead, he hunkered down inside, delving deeper into the workings of the system.
Stranded in the wilderness, transformed into a snake, and clueless about the world he was in, Lin Yuan knew his survival hinged on the system.
Realizing he hadn't yet checked the novice gift pack, he urgently commanded, "System, open the novice gift pack!"
"Novice gift pack successfully unlocked: You have received 1 Available Attribute Point, the Basic Map Scanning Ability, and the Martial Art: Golden Body Technique!"
Host: Lin Yuan
Status: Normal Black Snake (Evolvable)
Level: 0/10
Talent: Identify enemy location by scent
Speed: 0.2
Defense: 0.1
Attack: 0.3
Available Attribute Points: 1.1
Martial Art: Golden Body Technique (No level, cannot be activated)
Lin Yuan grasped the concept of the available attribute points, but what truly piqued his interest was the map scanning ability.
"System, scan the map immediately!"
[Ding! Initiating map scan!]
[Ding! Map scanning complete, now loading.]
[Ding! Loading finished!]
Simultaneously, Lin Yuan's mind was flooded with a detailed map encompassing hundreds of kilometers.
For the first time, he grasped the reality of his surroundings.
He found himself in a vast mountain range known as the Demon Beast Forest, a sprawling expanse filled with endless peaks and valleys, home to countless rare treasures.
Naturally, it was also teeming with all manner of wild and demon beasts, with numerous small fry like Lin Yuan scattered throughout.
The map didn't reveal everything, but the rest seemed trivial now.
One thing was for certain: this place was not the Earth from Lin Yuan's past life.
After poring over the map, Lin Yuan's attention shifted to a martial art called the Golden Body Technique. Regrettably, no matter how many times he tried to access it, the system kept informing him that his realm was insufficient for cultivation.
With a sense of resignation, he turned his focus to the available attribute points. Initially, he had killed a grey mouse, earning 0.1 points. Then, upon opening the novice gift pack, he gained another point, bringing his total available attribute points to 1.1.
Taking the environment into account, Lin Yuan unhesitatingly allocated 0.8 points to speed and the remaining 0.3 to attack.
As for defense, in his current form as a small black snake, any encounter with a wild beast would be fatal, rendering the addition of a minuscule amount of defense pointless.
Lin Yuan's system panel updated once again:
Host: Lin Yuan
Status: Normal Black Snake (Evolution possible)
Level: 0/10
Talent: Identify enemy locations by scent
Speed: 1
Defense: 0.1
Attack: 0.6
Available Attribute Points: 0
Martial Arts: Golden Body Technique (Realm insufficient, activation not possible)
Upon testing his new capabilities, Lin Yuan was thrilled to find his speed had increased more than fivefold!
His velocity was now comparable to a bolt of lightning, at least in relation to his previous pace.
However, in the midst of his excitement, a noise abruptly pierced the silence, halting at the entrance of the cave.
Inside, Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, his face draining of color. How had he neglected the presence of a level one demonic beast outside?
His recent speed test must have alerted the creature.
With his nerves on edge, Lin Yuan remained motionless, fearful of drawing the beast's attention.
All seemed to quiet down outside, but just as Lin Yuan hoped he might evade detection, a thunderous crashing sound erupted from the entrance.
"The demonic beast is digging through!" he realized in panic.
His heart pounded as he understood the beast had sensed him and was burrowing into the cave to capture him.
Having only just revived through the system, Lin Yuan was not about to let his second chance at life end so abruptly.
Without a moment's delay, Lin Yuan whipped his head around and dashed into another passageway within the cave.
The excavation outside was swift, but Lin Yuan was swifter. In a flash, he had fled through the tunnel and emerged in a new thicket of grass.
The distant sounds of digging were still audible, indicating that the cave's exit was not far from his position.
Lin Yuan dared not linger. He scurried forward with urgency.
As he crawled, he continuously scanned the surroundings through his system, ensuring there were no impending dangers.
[Alert: A Level 1 demonic beast is approaching from 200 meters ahead. It is recommended that you evade immediately!]
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan bolted in a different direction.
[Alert: A Level 1 demonic beast is approaching from 150 meters ahead. It is recommended that you evade immediately!]
Lin Yuan swiftly changed course once more.
Internally, he was cursing. Why were there so many demonic beasts in this area?
Currently, he was shivering amidst these creatures, a strong sense of crisis propelling him to keep fleeing.
[Alert: A gecko is detected 50 meters ahead!]
Lin Yuan instinctively turned and sprinted away.
But as he turned, he paused, his eyes suddenly sparkling with excitement.
He wouldn't miss this chance!
He moved quickly towards the location signaled by the system.
Before long, Lin Yuan spotted a large gecko under a tree ahead!
It was leisurely soaking up the sun.
The gecko was a foot long, its body speckled with spots, which made Lin Yuan a bit apprehensive.
However, considering the environment, he knew he needed to gather attribute points quickly.
Biting down on his resolve, Lin Yuan approached swiftly.
The gecko sensed the approaching danger and attempted to scurry up the tree, but it was too slow. Lin Yuan, now as fast as a Level 1 Demonic Beast, easily overtook it.
Lin Yuan wasted no time. He repeated his previous maneuver!
Perhaps due to his enhanced attack strength, he effortlessly dispatched the significantly larger gecko.
Lin Yuan activated the system!
And in the next instant—
The massive gecko began to vanish before Lin Yuan's very eyes, transforming into a wisp of green light that flowed into his mouth.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yuan felt a comforting warmth spread throughout his body.
Even more crucially, as the system alert chimed in, he acquired an additional 0.1 available attribute point!
Yet, the system's warnings sounded once more.
"System alert: A Level 1 Demonic Beast is rapidly approaching from 300 meters away!"
"System alert: A Level 1 Demonic Beast is rapidly approaching from 420 meters away!"
"System alert: A Level 2 Demonic Beast is rapidly approaching from 510 meters away!"
