C4 Killing the Civet Cat I Was Extremely Lucky!

The civet cat appeared gravely injured, lacking the strength to drag the dead fox any significant distance. It managed to pull the carcass to a nearby tree hollow, attempting to stash it inside for concealment.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan lay hidden amidst the underbrush behind, his serpentine head poised, silently observing the scene, weighing his options.

As the civet cat turned away, intent on shoving the fox into the hollow, Lin Yuan struck. With a powerful flick of his tail, he propelled himself through the weeds and launched a ferocious attack on the unsuspecting civet.

He was lightning-fast.

Lin Yuan's strike landed squarely on the civet's back with ease. Without a moment's hesitation, he coiled his body, his elongated form swiftly entwining the civet.

A shrill, feeble cry burst forth from the civet as it leapt into the air in surprise. But with Lin Yuan wrapped around it, escape was futile.

Hitting the ground, the civet whipped around, desperately trying to sink its teeth into Lin Yuan. But it couldn't reach him.

In a frantic bid for freedom, the civet thrashed and jumped, its front paws flailing, scratching at itself in an attempt to tear Lin Yuan away.

Lin Yuan did indeed suffer scratches, with several bloody marks marring his lengthy body, putting him at great risk.

But letting go was not an option for Lin Yuan. Releasing his grip meant he couldn't finish off the civet—he would die. So, he tightened his hold even more.

Opening his jaws wide, he slithered up the civet's back and clamped down hard on its neck.

The civet's piercing screams and violent struggles persisted for what seemed an eternity. Lin Yuan held on until, just as his own strength waned, the civet's frantic movements slowly subsided, until at last, it lay motionless on the ground.

By then, Lin Yuan's lower half was marred with wounds, his scales stripped away in places, clearly indicating serious injury.

Yet, Lin Yuan paid no mind to his wounds. The thrill of triumph swelled within him, overshadowing all else.

The civet cat was dead!

He was just a regular snake, but he had managed to take down a Level 2 Demonic Beast. Could his luck be any better?

There was no time to dwell on his fortune, though. A wave of weakness washed over him, triggering a sharp sense of danger.

Without a moment's hesitation, he opened his jaws wide and clamped down on the civet cat's neck.

Simultaneously, the Infinite Evolution System kicked into gear!

The next instant, the massive body of the civet cat began to dissolve into green specks, vanishing into Lin Yuan's mouth.

A cozy warmth spread throughout his entire body.

Then, to Lin Yuan's amazement, the injured half of his snake form began to heal rapidly. The shed scales regrew, and the wounds inflicted by the civet cat mended themselves.

In just a brief span, the potentially fatal injuries had vanished, and Lin Yuan was back in peak condition!

But the recovery was just the beginning. After devouring the civet cat, Lin Yuan found that the system had awarded him a whole point of Available attribute points!

Previously, he had labored to hunt down a gecko, earning a mere 0.1 points. Now, he had scored ten times that in one go, which delighted him.

Yet the best was still to come!

He didn't bother to check the attribute points. Instead, he hurriedly slithered into the tree hollow and bit into the fox.

As before, the fox's form disappeared, yielding Lin Yuan another 0.5 points of Available attribute points!

"And there's still the Flower Snake!"

With a grin splitting his snake mouth, Lin Yuan flicked his head and tail, darting toward the Flower Snake's resting place.

The Flower Snake's body lay there, serene in death. Lin Yuan wasted no time and struck with a bite!

Another 0.5 points of Available attribute points were his!

All told, Lin Yuan had racked up a full two points of Available attribute points this time around, the equivalent of hunting twenty geckos!

The journey had been fraught with peril, but the payoff was sweet indeed.

With the bounty secured, it was time to assimilate his gains.

Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings and settled on the large tree he had previously claimed as his perch. He ascended swiftly, concealing himself among the thick foliage.

Once certain that no trace of him could be detected from below, Lin Yuan relaxed and opened the system panel, gleefully assigning his new attribute points.

Lin Yuan gazed at the two available attribute points with genuine delight for quite some time.

After a moment of careful consideration, he allocated 0.4 points to his attack!

He boosted his defense by 0.9 points, and poured the remaining 0.7 into his speed!

At that moment, Lin Yuan's profile underwent another transformation.

Host: Lin Yuan

Status: Big Black Snake (Evolvable)

Level: 1/10

Innate Skill: Discern enemy location by scent

Speed: 1.7

Defense: 1

Attack: 1

Available Attribute Points: 0

Martial Arts: Golden Body Technique

As soon as Lin Yuan finished distributing his points, a cozy warmth enveloped his entire body.

He immediately sensed his body expanding at an astonishing rate.

In just a brief span, he grew from a mere two feet to nearly five!

"I've actually ascended to Level 1. It seems that as long as my attributes surpass 1 point, I qualify as a Level 1 Demonic Beast. And should they exceed 2 points, I could potentially become a Level 2 Demonic Beast," Lin Yuan mused with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Reaching Level 10 appeared to be within reach.

What's more, Lin Yuan now felt robust and vigorous. Facing that civet cat again, he was sure he wouldn't be caught off guard!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yuan's attention returned to his martial arts.

Previously, due to his insufficient level, the Golden Body Technique was inaccessible, shaded in grey and unclickable.

But now, it was illuminated. Could this mean he was now ready to begin his training?

He attempted to activate it with a thought.

And it worked!

In the blink of an eye!

Lin Yuan found himself in a mysterious realm!

It was a world shrouded by thick, ominous clouds!

Lightning bolts streaked through the clouds, striking down with ferocity.

Below, the ground was littered with dense, black boulders, amidst which lay a colossal pool of lightning.

Thunder roared within, the sound of the lightning strikes enough to make anyone shudder.

At the perimeter of the pool, a towering sword peak jutted out, impossible to ignore.

Lin Yuan's eyes were irresistibly drawn to the inscription.

Carved atop the sword peak were the imposing characters — Golden Body Technique!

Beneath the bold lettering, a myriad of tiny characters spelled out the details of the Golden Body Technique!

As Lin Yuan's gaze settled upon the text, a small snake suddenly materialized before him!

It was an unidentified species of snake, yet Lin Yuan could discern that it was practicing the Golden Body Technique. With each round of cultivation, the snake underwent transformation after transformation!

Ultimately, it evolved into a dragon!

Witnessing this, Lin Yuan's doubts vanished.

The system truly had the power to catalyze his metamorphosis!

Excitement surged within Lin Yuan as he stared intently, scrutinizing the cultivation method of the Golden Body Technique.

He found that the method was remarkably straightforward!

Provided he had ample energy, he could activate the Golden Body Technique, infusing the energy into his body to enhance its resilience.

Once he reached the zenith of cultivation, his body would become invulnerable to blades and spears.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the technique's potency was undeniable.

Lin Yuan, for one, was thoroughly intrigued!
