In these months, the greatest change has been in his stats, though he did upgrade the poison spit from a common to an uncommon skill.

He also understood there wasn't much difference between a common and an uncommon skill. It seems a common skill means the peak quality of an ordinary animal, while uncommon is just something added to that peak quality.

For example, the eagles' vision will be considered a common skill, but if it also has the properties to induce fear or see through minor illusions, then it will become an uncommon skill.

After looking at his stats panel, he turned his attention toward the two fully grown lotuses floating in the pond. With a flick of his tail, he put them in his inventory.

Name: Poison Lotus

Grade: F

Attribute: Poison, Nature

Effect: Can be used to concoct a poison that causes lethal damage to all those below the rank of grade D. If consumed by a poison element creature or used for poison elemental creation increases poison affinity by one level and has a probability to enhance the innate racial skill related to poison. When consuming the first one has the highest effect, the second has only ten percent of the effect, and the third is useless. This is also the reason they grow in pairs of three.

Looking at the information, a smile appeared on his face; this truly was a minor opportunity. With the help of this lotus, his strength will reach another level.

As for why the detection panel had changed so much, it was due to the update that happened seven days ago. According to the system, ten beasts in the eastern winding forest managed to complete an evolution, opening the ranking system.

The system also went through an upgrade, making the panel appear smarter and more user-friendly.

As for the ranking, he, with his pitiful strength, wasn't able to even reach the top ten. Through the information he has collected, he can only rank among the top twenty.

Putting that thought aside, he opened his mouth and swallowed a lotus whole; his body shuddered as a purple hue covered it. He was poisoned, and intense pain traveled through his entire body as he fell limp on the ground.

His eyes turned purple as bloody tears mixed with concentrated poison fell down. The lethality of the poison tear was so much that even the ground started to melt.

He held on for as long as he could before he fell unconscious, his massive body lying on the ground as poison continued to seep out.

His scales fell from his body as his flesh started to wriggle and tear apart, his veins became completely purple as a poisonous cloud surrounded his body.

A week passed, and a massive lizard's body could be seen lying inside a cave, its height was so much that it touched the cave's ceiling.

A body seven meters tall and twenty meters long slept on the ground as the green and purple scales sparkled with the sparse light in the cave.

His eyes started to twitch as it opened. His green eyes had now turned purple as he opened his mouth.

His body stood up as the cave rumbled, collapsing on him. The stone formation atop the cave started to fall as they bombarded his body.

"RAORRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!"

He let out a roar akin to that of a dragon as he moved his body, looking at the remaining food he had stored, he gobbled them in an instant.

The food that could have lasted him for months was finished in a single setting, his body still feeling hungry as he took out the second lotus and ate it.

The energy contained within the lotus sated his hunger as he looked around. Seeing his now destroyed home, he felt a pang of heartache.

After all, this place has provided him warmth and shelter after he came to this unfamiliar world. Taking one last look, he climbed out of the collapsed cave. 

Looking at his massive body, he understood that he couldn't be a stealth predator anymore, although the trees around him were hundreds of meters tall, the common grade stealth skill couldn't hide his figure.

Resting on the ground, he basked in the sun, and he opened his mouth as a purple haze fog spread covering his surroundings. The purple color slowly faded, but the poison in the surroundings remained.

[Congratulations on becoming the Ninth-Ranked Monster in the Eastern Winding Forest. Please hold the position to get a reward at the end of the year.]

Looking at the notification, he checked the ranking, and as the notification stated, he was ranked ninth. As for the reward, he hadn't heard anyone on the ranking talk about it; it seems it was a secret kept by them.

"Troublesome."

He muttered to himself, after all, fame is never a good thing when you haven't reached your peak. He could only hope that there weren't people stupid enough to provoke him for no reason.

After all, as a poison element beast, even if he is hurt a hundred points, he can make sure his opponent is hurt just as bad.
