From Ant to Abyssal Demon - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: The Targeted Goblin!

Three days have passed, and Su Bai has already reached a place more than a kilometer away from the ant nest.

During these three days, he hunted all the slimes within a radius of one kilometer from the ant nest, as well as a large number of other level one and level two monsters, successfully advancing his level from 1 to 3.

A large number of level one and level two monsters not only raised Su Bai’s level, with all attributes +2, but also provided him with a large number of gene points and evolution points.

When a level 2 lizard was hunted and completely consumed, Su Bai also accumulated enough evolution points needed for his third evolution.

100 evolution points.

For his third evolution, Su Bai still chose the self-evolution.

Putting all his gene points into self-evolution, after enhancing this evolution, his attributes once again soared.

Strength increased to 7 points, agility increased to 6 points, constitution increased to 9 points, and spirit increased to 10 points.

As for this time’s skill extraction, Su Bai chose the passive skill that appeared three times in a row,【Sharp Scythes】.

Furthermore, Su Bai also roughly figured out the source of Soul Points.

The source of Soul Points did indeed come from hunting monsters.

However, not every type of monster could provide him with Soul Points.

To obtain Soul Points, two conditions must be met. First, the level of the monster must not be lower than Su Bai’s level. Second, the monster killed must be the first of its kind.

In other words, when he hunted a slime, it provided him with 1 Soul Point, but hunting higher-level slimes in the future would not provide Soul Points.

The number of monsters was practically endless, but the variety of monsters was limited.

Every Soul Point was extremely precious.

After clearing the forest within a radius of over a kilometer, Su Bai only obtained 9 Soul Points, so he was reluctant to use Soul Points as free attribute points to add to his four-dimensional attributes, instead choosing to enhance his skills.

—

In a patch of grass more than a kilometer away from the ant nest, Su Bai – whose body had grown to over 20 centimeters long – laid quietly there, his black eyes staring at a clearing not far away.

This was a goblin camp he had discovered.

There were eleven goblins in the camp, forming a simple small society.

After continuing to hunt ordinary monsters and not getting the desired benefits, Su Bai set his sights on this goblin camp.

Among the eleven goblins, there were six goblin woodworkers, four goblin hunters, and one goblin thrower.

The goblin woodworkers were at the same level as Su Bai, level 3, wielding axes. The goblin hunters were at level 4, armed with short bows and knives. The goblin thrower was at level 5, carrying a bundle of short spears on his back.

To be honest, with Su Bai’s current attributes and skills, there was no problem in instantly killing the goblin woodworkers. As long as he was careful, there was also a high chance of successfully hunting the goblin hunters. The only thing to be wary of was the goblin thrower.

Su Bai speculated that this goblin thrower likely had an advanced attribute template.

And Su Bai’s target was precisely the advanced attribute template possessed by this goblin thrower.

After his third evolution, it would take a full 1000 evolution points for the fourth evolution, which was by no means something that could be accomplished in a short time. The gains from leveling up were too small, and Soul Points were too precious. The best way to improve his strength was to enhance his attribute template.

After careful observation, Su Bai finally set this goblin camp as his hunting target.

“A goblin thrower with an advanced template likely also has corresponding skills. I can’t be careless.”

After some thought, Su Bai opened his attribute panel, looking at the hard-earned 9 Soul Points.

“I hope this time’s harvest won’t disappoint me…”

Consuming 1 Soul Point, the passive skill【Sharp Scythes】changed to 【Enhanced Sharp Scythes】, then another 1 Soul Point was invested, changing【Enhanced Sharp Scythes】 to 【Sharp Sharp Scythes】.

Then, Su Bai invested 1 Soul Point each in【Enhanced Carapace】,【Quick Healing】, and【Fast Regeneration】, upgrading them to【Tough Carapace】,【Rapid Healing】, and【Rapid Regeneration】 respectively.

Looking at the remaining 4 Soul Points, Su Bai gritted his teeth and added one to【Sharp Mandibles】.

Then, the descriptions of both【Sharp Mandibles】 and【Sharp Sharp Scythes】 became blurry.

After a few seconds, both passive skills disappeared, replaced by a brand new skill.

【Sharp Claws and Teeth】: Passive skill. Infused with mysterious power, your claws and teeth become extremely sharp. You can easily tear through most items in the world, and only certain precious magical materials can stop your footsteps.

“Sharp Claws and Teeth?!

“Soul Points can be used like this?”

Seeing the appearance of the new passive skill, Su Bai’s heart was filled with excitement.

The fusion of two passive skills into one new skill did not mean Su Bai’s strength had weakened. On the contrary, it had greatly increased. Just looking at the skill description of【Sharp Claws and Teeth】, it far surpassed【Sharp Mandibles】 and【Sharp Sharp Scythes】.

Moreover, with two skills fused into one, the Soul Points required for future upgrades would also be reduced by half!

Unfortunately, after the fusion, the small “+” sign behind【Sharp Mandibles】disappeared.

“Have I reached the current limit and can’t continue to improve…

“【Sharp Mandibles】and【Sharp Sharp Scythes】were able to merge, most likely because these two passive skills have a strong correlation. Then…”

Discovering the new use of Soul Points, Su Bai no longer hesitated.

Before, he was afraid of wasting the hard-earned Soul Points by using them recklessly, but now that he had discovered a way to greatly enhance his strength with Soul Points, he naturally wouldn’t hold back anymore.

Afterwards, Su Bai added one point to【Rapid Healing】.

As expected, the descriptions of both【Rapid Healing】and【Rapid Regeneration】became blurry, and after a few seconds, they were replaced by a brand new skill.

【Regrowth】: Passive skill. Infused with mysterious power, you have powerful regenerative abilities. The bleeding and severe injury effects you suffer are greatly reduced. When facing enemies, your severed limbs and injuries can heal and regenerate rapidly. By consuming life force, you can greatly accelerate the healing of injuries and regeneration of limbs.
