Oh, thank you guys! !! (,, oДo)

#############

After pain ended

I managed to evolve after I were came out from the dark ground.

If I evolved on the ground, maybe my next evolution is related to 'on the ground' species. .

I don't think that's the case, but I don't want to go back inside the ground again, so I thought I'd do everything I could to the ground surface earlier.

When I went out on the ground and checked my surroundings, I was in the forest.

The trees are dense, but the trunk of the tree is not very large.

Maybe it's still within the hands of people.

Or is it the trees' scpecies itselves?

By the way, what I can see around me is a hardwood trees.

Is these tree is coniferous kind?

If not ... maybe it won't get too cold around here.

Speaking of which, it seems that if I mistakenly go out to the ground as an Daft Worm, I'll run out of control, but that's not the case right now.

Is it rampaging around without any reason at all?

After all, the description from the heaven's  voice is unreliable!

Now, please tell me what kind of species that I can evolve to.

===============

―Evolution Path―

>Wave Snake<

>Udo Snake<

===============

I'm glaaaaaaad!

I can go back to snake species again!

I'm really glad ... I think my appearance of earthworms goinng to break my spirit.

Thanks goodness.

I want to evolve quickly, but ... I have to ask for information that appear on the evolution path.

If I don't decide here carefully, it can be troublesome later.

Like the last time!

I think that is unavoidable ...

I've seen the explanation of Wave Snake once, but I'd like to see it again.

===============

-Wave Snake-

A violent snake species that uses waves to hunt their prey. This species use shock waves to blow off their enemies' internal organs. Adventurers are obliged to report to the guild if they are found this dangerous creatures due to their large size and fast movement.

Subjugation teams may be needed, but the results never been very good.

===============

-Udo Snake- (Alt. name : Plant Snake. RAW: ウド スネーク)

A snake species that is good at climbing trees, it is also good at hiding.

Although this species has a relatively gentle personality, this species has a unique hunting style by manipulating the surrounding plants to catch it's prey.

This snake species is considered to be the guardian of the sacred plantation, and there is a long-standing tradition that if you see this species, you should not touch it or approach it.

The legends said that if you kill or injure this snake species, the forest will reject and you will be dead in the forest.

===============

Udo Snake ... Why are the names of the creatures in this world here all in English?*

*(No, the earth snake king is is partial kanji)

That's fine, I guess.

Hmmm, the guardian of the forest.

I like it's title.

Wave Snake is definitely be stronger, but I'm always exposed to personal danger.

Well, from the law of evolution explanation, it's said that its possible to become stronger if you consists of species that are weak in race, so I wonder if I should evolve into Udo Snake this time.

It's not an emergency right now.

The voice of heaven!

I'll evolve into Udo Snake!

When I specified the evolution path, my body became smaller and smaller.

I don't feel any pain, which is unusual for race evolution.

Immediately after the body size returned to the original size of the snake, the inside of my body became hot and the sensation of something moving around and the severe pain that I had never felt ran around the body.

Guaaaaaaaah!

The bone is being reshaped.

I take my words back earlier.

It can be imaginated through the feeling that hard objects move around in my body that wouldn't break my skin, and sometimes skeletal objects move right under the skin.

The skeleton may have been reformed in a short time, but it felt as if it had been a long time like ten minutes.

After the pain has subsided, I use [Infinite Water Manipulation] to create a water to see myself in the water reflection.

Is the size of my body become a little smaller?

My form is a slender snake with a total length of 5 meters and a body thickness of only the size of a human wrist.

However, a plant like a mock strawberry was growing on my head.

It doesn't hinder my vision, but I was a little uncomfortable because I could tell that something was moving on my head.

Left- Right- Left- Right-....... uhh, my eyes feels a bit dizzy just by looking at it

Hmm, it feels really strange that something is moving around on my head.

The heck is this? Really.

Well ... I don't feel any abnormalities in my body for the time being.

I opens my mouth, it looks normal.

It looks like when I was a snake before and I didn't see any problem.

Well, the troublesome things is started from here.

It is very difficult to organize after evolution.

(*YES, VERY HARD)

This time, I'm doing species change evolution twice ... I think there are many acquired skills.

Alright! Let's take a look!

Show mih mah status!

===============

That's a lot!

What is this amount!

Ah, but there are a lot of skills I'm curious about.

I didn't have time to see it when I became a Daft Worm, but ... this is almost the skill that the Daft Worm had, right?

That species actually pretty good!

Because the recovery skill that I had longed for there- ...!

I was afraid because I only glanced at it, but I feel that my recovery skills have increased because of Daft Worm!

That's ... that species is actually very good, though with that appearance.

But I don't accept it physiologically.

I don't want it happenned again.

I will say this with confidence.

Resistance skills has increased too ...

There is a lot of resistance skill ...

Is there an enemy who is using a curse?

There are only infected people, sick people (mentally), and bad guys!

Ah, I don't know if there are any creature like that ... I don't want to meet them if possible.

Well, I have the resistance of it, so I think it's okay.

Oh, I have two [corruption].

What should I do with this?

For the time being ... Hmm, I'll leave it alone.

It's okay to synthesize them, but I'd like to combine skill and resistance once.

Also, if I get a skill that seems to be compatible, let's combine it with [corruption].

Alright, should I confirm the new skills that I aquired?

The [High Regeneration] is only for self cast.

As I'm getting smaller, I won't be able to swallow most creatures anymore, so I'd like to synthesize some skills.

I'm tired ...

(*Me too)

Speaking of which, I just went to see my skills and didn't look at my physical strength, but ... I've lost a lot of points ... It might be a relatively weak snake.

Sigh ... I thought it would be fine to synthesize them, so I tried to synthesize it all at once, but I got a great deal.

[Earth Spirit]?

It's convenient because I can control everything with just this.

Attack skills have become abundant, and recovery skills have also have been acquired!

Besides, it is a skill that can restore not only me but also other people!

This is nice!

This recovery skill should be the most useful when it comes to interacting with people. Above all, it is easy to win their hear-. ………… they will trust me eventhough I'm a snake ……. That was what make me worried.

Well, I'd like to try my skills, but ... First of all, I have to find a place to sleep ...

I was caught before I found it.

This time I want to find the moss and build a house near it.

I wish I could these things with [Earth Spirit].

Isn't it such a convenient skill?

Aight boy. Imma go find it.
