Goblin Dependency

Dodd did not know exactly what type of demon he had evolved into after his fourth transformation.

Of course, he could feel his body’s transformation, but even though he had been adventuring in the Southern Islands for many years, he had no impression of this rare demon that lived somewhere in the Inland desert region.

It was like birds in the sky naturally knowing how to flap their wings, and fish in the water understanding how to move their fins and tails without being taught.

Despite being completely unfamiliar with the type of demon he inhabited, Dodd instinctively mastered the special abilities he had newly acquired after evolution.

First, it must be clear.

The direction of evolution was not as expected, and it was far from the planned "giant dragon"—but this did not mean that Dodd’s overall combat effectiveness was weak.

On one hand, he had reached the stage of four evolutions; on the other hand, his inherent initial race was excellent, providing considerable evolution amplification despite the deviation in his evolutionary path.

Then, regarding specific combat abilities.

Although the six-legged lizard he inhabited appeared transparent and seemed to be made of glass, both in terms of defense ability and overall physical fitness, it was at a remarkably high level.

In this regard, as early as two days ago, when Dodd was bit on the side by a demon crocodile adventurer, likely already in the third evolution, ambushing in a nearby small swamp, attempting a "death roll," it ended up breaking a mouthful of sharp teeth, while Dodd remained unharmed and smashed the opponent’s skull with a single swipe, revealing much.

And most importantly, he possessed decent casting ability at present.

The core comes from the casting organ protruding from his forehead horn, enabling him to manipulate the Earth Element to some extent for special attacks involving Plastic Energy.

Like earth spikes suddenly bursting forth from the ground, or gathering dust in the air to obscure the enemy’s view.

These are not considered advanced spells, many are merely basic uses of magic power, but are sufficient to form an overwhelming advantage against primitive beasts that rely solely on sharp teeth and claws for fighting.

Moreover, the body of the six-legged lizard with a crystal-clear appearance possesses rare life-preserving abilities, allowing survival even in extremely special situations.

Considering all this, although the evolution direction of "Algae Scale" Dodd had completely deviated from the intended plan, he nonetheless remained confident in his combat abilities instead of feeling excessively disappointed.

His movement speed was fast.

The six short and sturdy legs protruding from the sides of his torso seemed incapable of swift movement, but they possessed natural affinity for Earth Energy, allowing his feet to absorb temporary strength from the soil with each step.

A light akin to footprints, in shades of earthy brown, lingered between his claws on the ground, while his nearly transparent giant body slithered like a long snake, swaying its tail, and swiftly passed through the forest.

Time was limited, and in Dodd’s perception, an adventurer team, with an obvious numerical advantage, was already moving towards his direction.

He thought to quickly deal with the nearby lone adventurer, who had survived until now by concealing his form, and absorb his life energy to clear the threshold of the fifth evolution.

Dodd focused on his way and, in less than ten minutes, arrived at the position of the lone adventurer in his perception.

The two light points symbolizing adventurers overlapped.

The large, transparent lizard stood still, its earth-colored vertical pupils carefully scanning the surrounding environment.

A very ordinary forested hillside, with no special features, only traces of various footprints remain; originally the nearby growing trees and shrubs showed obvious signs of destruction, clearly left by other adventurers who had come here earlier attempting to find the hider.

It was exactly as he had predicted—this lone adventurer possessed an extremely formidable concealing ability.

The way was paved with thought beforehand, so he did not hesitate much. Dodd’s forehead horn subtly vibrated, its surface suddenly flashing bright earth-colored light, and the surrounding magic particles instantly intensified.

"Whoosh..."

Along with the sudden rising wind in the forest, countless tiny sands materialized from the air.

A small sandstorm was summoned by Dodd.

The demon he inhabited had natural adaptation to such environments, allowing Dodd not only to remain unobstructed in vision but also to carefully sense anything suspicious over the ground, down to the boundaries of the Secret Realm overhead, enveloped by grains carrying his own magic particles.

As for the outcome... naturally nothing was found.

Both in the nearby woods and the air, no trace of a hiding demon could be found.

Glancing again at the overlapping light points in perception, there was no trace of disappointment on Dodd’s face.

This had been anticipated, and what he had just done was merely to ensure that no unexpected situation would arise.

The fierce lizard head bowed slowly, its icy vertical pupils fixed on the ground ahead.

On that face covered with semi-transparent scales, a touch of cruelty unique to intelligent beings appeared.

"Little mouse, is it really hiding underground?"

To Dodd, this was undoubtedly the best-case scenario that he imagined.

After all, the body he inhabits now excelled at manipulating the Earth Element.
