I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool-Chapter 3: Obtained Skill: Skin Camouflage!

Two hours later...

Wang Mang finally completed his evolution and woke up.

He soon discovered that his body had grown a great deal after this evolution!

It was probably about five meters long!

"System, show my personal information!"

In order to see the changes clearly, Wang Mang opened his personal information menu again.

Host: Wang Mang.

Type: Burmese python.

Status: Adult Burmese python.

Status: Healthy.

Body: 5 meters long and 110 kilograms heavy.

Combat Strength: Bite force 180 kilograms, speed 35 kilometers per hour.

Skills: Death Bind, Poison Fang.

Evolution Points: 10/400.

…

After reading his personal information, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

Now that he was five meters long and as thick as a man's calf, he definitely qualified as a python!

Moreover, now that he had grown to five meters, he could start hunting some medium-sized prey!

All in all, Wang Mang's evolution brought a lot of new perks.

If only…

Just then, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for evolving again. You have obtained a new skill, Skin Camouflage!]

[Skin Camouflage: You can change your skin into any color!]

Wang Mang was instantly overjoyed.

He was just lamenting the fact that he had not obtained any new skills!

Now, look… Speak of the devil!

Even better, the new skill he had obtained was very useful!

This way, his skin would not be limited to brown, yellow, and black.

In addition, Skin Camouflage would also help Wang Mang adapt to many different environments to hunt!

He could disguise himself to blend in with any environment, allowing him to hunt more efficiently and with a higher success rate.

'Not bad! Looks like luck is on my side!' Wang Mang was getting pretty full of himself.

Now that he had a five-meter-long snake body and poisonous fangs, he could be considered the king of this small forest by the reservoir.

Feeling happy, Wang Mang crawled out of the hole and was about to bask in the sun when he suddenly heard faint footsteps in the distance.

The sound immediately put Wang Mang on guard. He slithered away and hid in the grass by the side.

Then, Wang Mang saw two men walking together.

They were a middle-aged man and a young man.

The two of them were carrying fishing boxes and fishing rods, looking for fishing spots around the reservoir.

He could even vaguely hear the two of them chatting.

The middle-aged man said, "I heard that the son of the reservoir owner died in this reservoir three months ago."

The young man said, "Yes! But I heard that this matter is quite strange. The owner's son's body was found in the middle of the reservoir."

"What's even stranger is that the boy's fishing rod was found on the other side of the reservoir. They say he was pulled into the water by an unknown creature."

The middle-aged man sounded surprised. "That sounds freaky. Are you sure?"

The young man said, "Oh, but there's more. I hear that the owner's son was preparing to hook something huge. He used the largest fishing hook and the thickest line... Then everything went wrong for him!"

"Everyone in the area has heard about it by now. Some of them are saying there's a ghost in the water, while others say there's a giant monster in this reservoir."

…

After hearing their conversation, Wang Mang felt helpless. In fact, everything the two men said was true.

The reservoir that his family had bought the rights to was a little eerie. There were definitely unknown creatures inside, and they were very huge!

After all, one of them could pull a grown man like Wang Mang into the reservoir and drag him from the shore to the reservoir's depths!

That must have taken terrifying power!

Even now, just the thought of it terrified Wang Mang!

Who knows what he had caught back then?

In addition, it was worth mentioning that his family's reservoir was also very big!

Although it could not compare to those enormous dams, his family reservoir was already 300 acres big!

That was 200,000 square meters!

They earned a decent income just by renting out the reservoir to fishing hobbyists every day.

However, Wang Mang's father did not care about this bit of money.

Back when Wang Mang first died, his father almost went crazy and wanted to drain the reservoir to find the culprit that killed him.

However, how much would it cost to drain a reservoir that covered an area of 300 acres and was 300 to 400 meters deep?

Besides, it was not something that Wang Mang's father could easily drain.

After all, although Wang Mang's father had paid for the reservoir, he was essentially renting it from the government! It was not their private property!

If it was, his father would have drained it long ago when Wang Mang first fell in! 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

That was why even now, even though Wang Mang was already five meters long and as thick as a human's calf, he still did not dare to easily enter his own reservoir.

Unless he grew a little bigger, until he was about fifteen meters long, Wang Mang really did not dare to enter the reservoir so easily. He was afraid that he would encounter unknown creatures or water monsters.

Wang Mang shook his head to himself. After basking in the sun for a while, he returned to his cave to rest.

When night fell, Wang Mang left the cave and entered the forest.

He slithered around to find a new hunting ground and began his hunt anew.

…

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, Wang Mang had been diligently hunting every day.

He had even completed two more evolutions!

Currently, Wang Mang's body was already eight meters long!

Over the past five days, Wang Mang's target prey had become bigger and bigger.

He went after wild dogs, goats, and moon bears were all his hunting targets.

Why was he aiming so high now? It was because Wang Mang had obtained two powerful new skills over his past two evolutions!
