Based on Shirakawa’s experience in using panels for such a long time.
He has already roughly figured out the time it takes to strengthen the panel's ability.
A normal LV1 level of ability usually requires one day and one night, while LV2 requires two days and two nights. However, this is a single ability, and it is not the kind that involves major modification of external limbs or the entire body.
That involves too many body structures, and he hasn't yet figured out the specific time required.
In addition, once several abilities evolve together, the time will increase exponentially.
However, he has not yet figured out the specific time required for several abilities to evolve together. But it doesn't matter here, because what he strengthened is just a LV2.
While thinking about it, Baichuan had already moved away from this lair. Of course, he wasn't too far away.
Just a few hundred meters away from here in the dense forest, he followed the snake's instinct to find a relatively hidden location.
Excavation follows.
Because the cave to be dug this time is not a long-term living cave, it is only used as an evolutionary transition.
It doesn't take too long, after all, when digging underground, you have to consider issues such as collapse, ventilation, access, etc. to expand the large nest.
And one just allows his whole body to hide underground and allow him to breathe.
The difficulty is not on the same level at all.
It only took him a night's work, and he dug the cave in the early morning.
After that, he returned to the previous position, took a look at the little mouse, and found that it was still lying there as quietly as before.
The only thing that has changed is that the wounds on its body seem to be getting better, but it's not very obvious, but it's definitely getting better.
This made him a little surprised. It was really effective, but he thought that this ability came from its kindred African spiny rat.
It's quite normal to think this way. Although various abilities will change to adapt to his body to a certain extent after evolution, there is still more or less some residual essence in this aspect.
But I just don’t know if it can survive this or not.
After all, there must be a difference between the real host of the ability and the use of it by outsiders.
Bai Chuan thought silently.
Then he made another opening and fed some blood to it.
The temperature in this season is not bad now, and the pieces of meat he brought back before have not shown obvious signs of rot.
It seems that if it can wake up, it should be able to catch a full meal.
…
Inside the cave, in the darkness.
As the panel expands again.
Only Bai Chuan could see the glistening white light on the panel, which was shining on his snake head.
'Name: Bai Chuan. '
'Race: King Cobra. '
'Length: 6.8 meters. '
'Lifespan: 6 years to 10 months. '
'Points: 8 (5%). '
'Ability: LV2 ability (expand), LV1 ability (expand).
'Capability structure library (expanded). '
"editable……"
He looked at the panel above and silently selected the ability structure library, selecting the ability model called Ice-Blooded Silkworm.
This is one of the few creatures with only four abilities, but it is so powerful that it scares Bai Chuan.
The familiar model flew up, and Baichuan directly drew out the ability called [Symbiosis LV2 (cold-loving)]. Originally, he wanted to strengthen all of them just to be on the safe side.
But when he tried it, he discovered that the other abilities of the ice silkworm were either incompatible with him, or highly overlapped with his existing abilities, and even had a negative impact on him.
For example, [Spinning Silk and Creating a Cocoon], it would be fine if this was a spinning attack like Spider-Man, but what is this?
Wrap yourself in silk threads, turn into a cocoon, and then disappear.
Silkworms spin cocoons in order to break out of the cocoons and transform into moths and butterflies. According to the ability model, they need to cooperate with the [Metamorphosis Development] ability, but does he have it?
No!
As for the [Metamorphosis Development] ability, if Shirakawa's current understanding is correct, it should be similar to the [Terminal Length] of snakes, which is a change in body shape.
Once you strengthen your body shape, there may be huge changes.
Not to mention [Hibernating Molting], he himself has molted, and this ability also requires entering a state similar to hibernation.
He finally got out of hibernation, how could he go back to the time when he needed to hibernate again.
It can be said that except for the symbiosis ability, all three are complementary. Does he dare to strengthen them?
In other words, if we don't mention various compatibility issues, once he strengthens, he will most likely change into an insect-like body.
Is he being a snake instead of a bug?
I'm afraid I haven't lost my mind.
Even if it changes, it still needs to evolve into a creature like a true dragon.
So in the end, all that was left was the ability that he highly doubted——
Symbiosis LV2 (cold-loving).
Thinking about the gains and losses of the past few days, Bai Chuan also extracted this ability and then integrated it into his body.
Then, the familiar sleepiness came over again.
Bai Chuan slowly fell into a deep sleep, and the strange sticky substance completely enveloped his body again.
…
Time began to pass again, and in the blink of an eye it was already two days later.
After two days and two nights, with a sound like breaking eggshells, Bai Chuan broke open the dome with a sharp claw and swam out.
Subconsciously, he took a deep breath.
As a result, I almost inhaled a mouthful of dirt.
Baichuan, who sneezed a few times, hurriedly left the somewhat deformed underground cave in a speechless and depressed state.
Leaving the cave, I saw the vast sky and lush green leaves again.
Bai Chuan was also in a rare mood, and it was only then that he was in the mood to feel his newly strengthened abilities.
He just stood there quietly, closing his snake eyes and experiencing every subtle change in himself.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, his eyes full of doubts.
Because it's the same as before, nothing has changed at all.
What's happening here? Did he lose two points?
no! He wants to go back and see that ice silkworm first.
This is really strange. Could it be that he really made a mistake? Is he really out of touch with these abilities?
For a moment, Bai Chuan also felt puzzled and went straight to the place where the ice silkworms were placed.
Not long after, under Bai Chuan's urgent and fast crawling, he returned to this cave which was more spacious than before.
"Zhi~zhi~"
Before he entered, he heard a burst of excited squeaking as soon as the snake reached the entrance of the cave.
The excitement in the bark is like that of a dog that has returned from a long absence and suddenly sees its owner coming home one day.
He jumped up and down in excitement.
He was startled and then reacted.
Did the little mouse survive?
At the same time, he slowly climbed in.
As soon as he came in, he saw a little mouse with shiny fur and full of energy.
At this moment, it was standing upright, hugging the small wooden box, and kept calling to him. If the box wasn't too heavy, it would probably jump up.
Seeing it approaching, it subconsciously handed over the small wooden box with its little paws, but the screams from its mouth did not stop.
Even if he couldn't understand it, he could still understand the excitement.
Seeing this, Bai Chuan subconsciously nodded his snake head at it, stretched out his paw, which was almost as big as a small mouse, and took over the small wooden box.
But this time, there was a huge reaction.
A reaction that Bai Chuan didn't expect.
The wooden box shook crazily!
