After successfully shaking off the Giant Crocodile’s pursuit and returning to the karst cave, Gale immediately began to focus all his heart and Soul on absorbing and digesting.
The sheer magnitude of energy brought by consuming the heart blood of three Skullcrawlers this time was somewhat beyond Gale’s imagination.
Gale felt as if his entire body had been ignited; his insides felt like a volcano filled with magma about to erupt.
A terrifying ball of scorching energy gathered within him with nowhere to be released, eventually only able to slowly melt into his flesh and blood.
[Prompt: You have devoured and digested the heart essence blood of the Giant Beast Skullcrawler; evolution progress increased by 1%] [Prompt: You have devoured and digested the heart essence blood of the Giant Beast Skullcrawler; evolution progress increased by 1%] [Prompt: You have devoured and digested the heart essence blood of the Giant Beast Skullcrawler; evolution progress increased by 2%] As the heart blood of the Skullcrawlers was absorbed and digested within his body, Gale’s evolution progress also began to soar at an astonishing speed.
“heart essence blood.” Looking at the information prompts from the Golden Finger, Gale couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.
Clearly, his choice to consume the Skullcrawlers’ heart blood this time was the right one.
The heart essence blood was likely where the life essence of a Skullcrawler resided.
At the same time, Gale noticed that the Golden Finger’s information referred to the Skullcrawler as a Giant Beast.
This was a situation that had never occurred when he devoured and digested other creatures in the past.
Could it be that Giant Beasts are different from ordinary creatures?
Gale couldn’t help but speculate in his heart.
However, Gale immediately cast aside these stray thoughts and began to devote himself entirely to devouring and digesting.
Gale’s evolution progress also continued to rise steadily.
89%, 90%, 91%, 92%…
He didn’t know how much time had passed like this.
It felt like only an instant, yet it also felt like a long time.
Suddenly, with a hum, Gale felt as if an invisible shackle within his Physical Body was instantly broken.
And at that same moment, his evolution progress finally reached 100%.
[Prompt: Your current life level evolution progress has reached 100%; life level evolution is beginning.] [Prompt: The next life level is Giant Beast, and there is a certain probability of Awakening a talent ability during the life level evolution process.] At this time, the Golden Finger’s information prompt appeared again.
Giant Beast.
talent ability.
Upon seeing this information, Gale’s heart was shaken once more.
At this moment, he finally understood that the next life level for ordinary life was the Giant Beast level.
And the Skullcrawler’s life level was precisely that of a Giant Beast.
In other words, if Gale completed his life level evolution now, his life level would join the same rank as the Skullcrawler.
There was also the talent ability mentioned by the Golden Finger.
Evolving to the Giant Beast level would provide an opportunity to awaken a talent ability.
He wondered if he could successfully awaken one.
Thinking of this, Gale couldn’t help but think of Godzilla’s Atomic Breath; perhaps that was Godzilla’s talent ability.
If he successfully awakened a talent ability, what would it be?
With many such thoughts in mind, Gale’s Soul consciousness finally couldn’t hold out any longer and he fell into a deep sleep.
In fact, when he first started focusing entirely on devouring and digesting the Skullcrawlers’ heart essence blood, Gale had already felt drowsy and wanted to sleep.
And every time he devoured and digested before, Gale would inevitably succumb to the drowsiness and fall into a deep sleep.
It was just that Gale had been persisting, wanting to see how much evolution progress the heart essence blood of the three Skullcrawlers could bring him, so he had kept holding on.
But now that the evolution progress had reached 100% and his life level had begun to evolve, Gale’s drowsiness could no longer be resisted.
Moreover, seeing that his evolution progress had reached 100%, Gale was actually already satisfied.
And so, as the evolution progress reached 100% and the life level evolution began, Gale fell into a deep sleep.
And the duration of this sleep far exceeded any of Gale’s previous slumbers.
— Half a month later.
The ecosystem around the lake outside the karst cave where Gale was located had recovered once again.
Various herbivores such as cattle, sheep, deer, and horses appeared in herds.
Carnivores like tigers, lions, leopards, and wolves followed suit.
The impact of the bloody slaughter caused by the Skullcrawlers’ hunting slowly faded away with time.
The area around the entire lake returned to its original scene of vitality, teeming with wild beasts.
Inside the karst cave at this time, Gale was still in the midst of his slumber.
But after half a month of slumber, Gale’s size and appearance had both undergone earth-shaking changes.
First, regarding size: when he fell asleep, Gale’s body length was only nine meters.
But now, Gale’s body length had reached a staggering twenty-plus meters, and his body was thicker than a water bucket.
With such a terrifying size, an ordinary person would likely be scared into collapsing on the ground just by seeing him.
Next was his appearance: before his slumber, Gale’s appearance was undoubtedly that of a snake.
But now, Gale’s appearance no longer looked like a snake at all.
The top of his head had bulged high to form a camel-like crown, and on both sides of this crown, two small fleshy bumps protruded, looking as if horns were about to grow out.
His mouth had also lengthened and transformed into something like a crocodile’s snout, and he had grown a pair of ox-like ears.
The shape of his eyes had also become like those of a rabbit.
This head—how was it a snake’s head?
It was clearly the head of a legendary Dragon, except it didn’t have the antlers yet.
Gale’s serpentine body had also changed tremendously.
Gale’s original snake body looked flat, round, and soft, covered with dense, fine scales.
But now, a ridge protruded from the center of Gale’s back, much like the back of a fish.
The originally tiny snake scales had also become like fish scales, each one as large as a palm, distributed on both sides of his body, their color a crystal-clear bright purple.
His belly was like that of a Shen monster.
Viewed as a whole, Gale’s current appearance—both his head and his body—had already grown to resemble the legendary Dragon.
Aside from not having grown dragon horns or dragon claws, Gale’s current appearance was almost identical to the Dragons of legend.
And at this time, Gale still hadn’t woken up; he was still in deep sleep.
Another half a month passed like this.
[Ding!
You have completed the devouring and digestion of the Giant Beast Skullcrawler’s heart essence blood.] Accompanied by the Golden Finger’s information prompt sounding in his mind, Gale finally slowly woke up from his slumber.
And for this slumber, Gale had slept for a full month.
On the massive dragon head, Gale’s eyes slowly opened.
The entire dark karst cave instantly lit up.
Because the moment Gale’s eyes opened, his pair of huge dragon eyes were like two bright lamps being switched on, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Powerful!
This was also Gale’s first sensation upon waking up.
He felt as if his entire body was filled with an unprecedented, terrifying strength.
Afterward, Gale immediately summoned the Golden Finger’s information panel.
— Name: Gale; Species: Flood Dragon Python [27m]; ability: Devour; Talent: Transcendent Body; life level: Giant Beast; evolution progress: 17% [83% remaining until the next life level evolution].
