…

After reading through everything, Randy could not hide the delighted smile on his face as he looked at the abilities he had just obtained.

Ignoring the [Stealth Scales] skill for now, which seemed to be the ability that the Stealthy Python used to hide earlier to make itself imperceptible, there was a more important ability among these abilities that will prove to be useful during this time around, [Thermal Detection].

This skill might not seem like much if you simply just think about the fact that it was only used for detecting heat signatures, since technology could basically accomplish something like this, however you would be wrong if you thought that was its only usefulness.

According to what Randy knows about pythons, they naturally had the inherent ability to sense and detect their preys through the heat signatures they emit.

All this was possible by utilizing their special organ called pit organ, which can detect the infrared radiation from warm-blooded animals from a certain meter radius around themselves.

Since humans were also warm-blooded creatures, this means that this ability even has the possibility of being useful when detecting an enemy before they try to sneak attack on you.

This was extremely very important!

Even if the other party had a stealth ability and thus you cannot perceive them through normal means, however as long as they neglect the fact that they will naturally emit a heat signature through their bodies, this ability can detect them beforehand and thus enabling one to find possible solutions to their dire situation before the enemy even approaches them to attack them.

Who would not be glad that they had such an ability to guarantee their safety in this current world?

Not to mention, this [Stealth Scales] which also seems extremely very useful right now, because with this stealth ability, Randy could simply hide himself and safely hunt the beasts in this Beast Forest without alerting them beforehand.

And well, since he is also a warm-blooded creature, if he happens to run into one of those Stealthy Pythons again, there was a chance that they might be able to find him before he even gets close to them.

However, right now, that does not matter since Randy had the same ability as them and it even said 100% assimilation, meaning that there was a possibility that he can fully utilize the abilities of the Stealthy Python without falling short in comparison to the original abilities.

With that thought in mind, after using his storage bracelet to stow away the corpse of the Stealthy Python, Randy immediately undid his werewolf form. With his long white hair turning back to the short curly blonde hair, his fangs and claws also receded to their original forms.

And almost right away, he activated his new form to check out the prowess of this 100% assimilated blood with an anticipation expression.

"Whoa! What is going on?! What happened to me?!" Randy suddenly screamed in shock from the sudden changes that occurred to his body.

However, he soon realized that it was a very bad idea to suddenly scream in the Beast Forest infested with mutated beasts of various kinds even if he was not that far away from the outer edge of the forest and could escape anytime.

With that realization, Randy kept his voice down and started asking his questions in his mind.

"My eyes… what happened to my eyes?" He muttered in confusion.

'Why is my vision darker than normal? What's going on? Why can't I see anything?'

'Wait! I think I can see something, but it is not very clear so I can't make it out'

Randy soon fell into deep thought, pondering hard about what was going on with him. He recalled that he only activated the assimilated mode, and then activated the Stealthy Python's reinforcement and its trait, Python Eyes automatically activated by itself.

'What is really going on— wait, is this perhaps the effect of the python eyes trait? That's right, now I remember that I once read that generally pythons usually don't have good eyesight and only relied mostly on their other senses to navigate their surroundings.'

'If that is the case, should I activate the thermal detection ability since it is used to detect their prey due to this trait…?' Randy thought to himself with a pondering expression.

With this thought, Randy acted right away. He immediately looked into the void of space and surprisingly, he could still see his system's display clearly almost as if the information on it were being sent directly into his mind.

Without wasting his time to think much about this, he focused his mind on activating the [Thermal Detection] Skill.

[[Thermal Detection Skill Activated]]

"Whoa!" Randy could not help but utter in wonder about these new changes around his environment, which were brought about by activating this Thermal Detection skill.

Right now, he could see various colors or more precisely various images where being sent into his mind, however these images were not in their original colors, instead they were like the outline of their true forms in alternating colors.

There were many trees in this Beast Forest and so, he could mostly see the outline of these trees without any color, however there were other creatures emitting different colors as he looked around the forest.

Supposedly, these were the warm-blooded creatures in this forest, and it seems they were attracted by something as they were currently rushing towards this direction, probably due to his surprised screaming voice from earlier.

Realizing this, Randy's thoughts moved quickly and immediately decided to activate the Stealth Scales Skill to guarantee his safety.

But before that, he took a moment to look down at his own hands and sure enough, they were emitting different colors, sometimes yellow or green or blue or maybe the combination of them. In any case, it seems the color of his hands change based on the temperature that his body was emitting due to certain movements or reactions.

However, at this moment, Randy noticed something strange about his current self, his body seemed to have some sort of scales all over it when he rubbed them slightly, nevertheless, it did not feel uncomfortable when he touched them.

These scales seemed to be emanating a unique kind of energy or more precisely, it appears to be absorbing the surrounding energy thus emanating this unique kind of energy.

Randy assumed that this was perhaps the effects of using the Reinforcement of the Stealthy Python.

However, right now, he cannot see himself clearly, so he cannot be certain about what his current appearance looks like.

Disregarding this thought, he then activated the [Stealth Scales] Skill the next moment.

[[Stealth Scales Skill Activated]]

Almost immediately after this notification, Randy could feel the surrounding energy being absorbed towards his body at a rapid speed. He was confused at first, but then he soon realized what was going on.

This ability of the Stealthy Python seemed to rely heavily on absorbing the energy in the surrounding to create a sort of bodily refraction to prevent anyone or anything from perceiving one's existence, even if one were to be right next to others.

Nonetheless, unless someone had some unique detection or clairvoyance ability, most people should not be able to detect his appearance when using this ability. As even he could not perceive the existence of the Stealthy Python if not because of the animalistic instinct he acquired through the werewolf form, that enabled him to perceive the danger to himself ahead of time, but not the source of the danger itself due to this strange ability of the Stealthy Python.

After activating this stealth ability, Randy's form was gradually fading away from the vicinity of the Beast Forest.

And very soon, some creatures suddenly showed up to where Randy was only to find nothing in the location. They appeared confused because they clearly sensed and even heard something screaming earlier, and yet after arriving quickly to see if it was prey, there was nothing to be found in the end.

At this point, Randy proceeded to stand right where he was before activating the stealth ability as he silently observed the creatures through his infrared vision brought about by the Thermal Detection Skill.

Upon observing these creatures for a while, he then noticed that they were actually wolves based on their outlines.

Seeing that the other parties could not see him or more precisely could not sense him at the moment, Randy silently moved closer to one of the wolves that was close to his position without alerting it.

This was the most effective method of hunting one's prey, slowly approach the prey and then catch them completely off guard.
