Lizarius licked his mouth.
*There might be more nearby,* he thought.
He spread his wings, swung them, and flew up onto a nearby tree.
He turned invisible and began moving from tree to tree.
After a while, he spotted two Earth Tortoises in the forest, slowly walking around and grazing on plants.
Lizarius perched on top of a nearby tree, his yellow eyes glowing despite his invisible body.
*I finally found one when I was about to give up.
But to think I found two of them.*
He watched as the tortoises continued eating some kind of plants.
Lizarius spread his wings and jumped down, slowly gliding toward them while remaining invisible.
He landed beside one of the tortoises.
It didn’t even notice him.
Lizarius swung his tail.
**Pierce!**
His golden scales pierced through the tortoise’s neck.
It let out a low growl, coughing out blood.
Lizarius slowly became visible as he released lightning from his body.
**BOOM!**
Lightning struck the tortoise.
Its body trembled before it collapsed to the ground, steam rising from its shell.
The other tortoise, standing nearby, noticed its companion suddenly fall.
It turned toward Lizarius.
His body was slowly becoming visible, his yellow eyes glowing brightly.
Lightning crackled around him.
Lizarius quickly moved toward the other tortoise.
The tortoise reacted immediately.
It slowly stomped one of its legs against the ground.
As Lizarius got closer—
**BOOM!**
An earth spike suddenly erupted from the ground.
Lizarius was surprised to see it spring up so suddenly. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
He quickly reacted, swinging his wings forward to block it.
**BANG!**
His wings struck the earth spike, shattering it.
Fragments of earth scattered through the air as Lizarius was pushed backward.
He landed safely.
But another earth spike suddenly erupted beside him, shooting toward his body.
Lizarius quickly reacted, swinging his wings to block it.
**BANG!**
The earth spike shattered upon striking his wings.
Lizarius released lightning from his body.
He swung his tail, sending several golden scales flying toward the tortoise.
The tortoise quickly retreated into its shell.
**CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!**
The lightning-charged golden scales struck its shell.
But they only broke off a small piece of rock.
Lizarius slowly turned invisible.
Now unseen, he began moving closer to the shelled tortoise.
A while later, the tortoise cautiously emerged from its shell.
Lizarius was already standing beside it.
Still invisible, he swung his tail.
**Pierce!**
His golden scales pierced through the tortoise’s neck.
It growled, coughing out blood.
Lizarius slowly became visible, his yellow eyes glowing.
He released lightning.
**BOOM!**
Lightning struck the tortoise, causing its body to tremble before it collapsed to the ground. Get faster updates on g.com.
Steam rose from its body.
*That took a while,* Lizarius thought.
He stood near the tortoise, bloodstains around his mouth, while steam continued rising from its body.
*With the defense of the Blue Scale Crocodile Gene, my scales are way stronger than before.*
*I didn’t even get a scratch from its attacks.*
Lizarius turned toward the tortoise’s corpse.
He opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.
**ROOOOOAR!**
A powerful sound wave erupted from his mouth, shattering the remaining pieces of the tortoise’s shell.
Lizarius stopped roaring and walked closer to the corpse.
He opened his mouth, his yellow eyes glowing, and bit down.
**CRUNCH!**
He tore off a piece of flesh and began eating.
After a while, Lizarius licked his mouth, having finished eating both tortoises.
The system announced,
**”Gain 600 Evolution Points and 8 Earth Tortoise Gene Points.”**
Lizarius slowly turned invisible.
*I can’t keep hunting Earth Tortoises.
They’re too hard to find.
It took so long just to find two.*
He spread his wings and quickly took flight.
*Since I’ve already gotten its Gene, I should see where this watercourse leads,* he continued thinking.
A while later, Lizarius, still invisible, flew above the watercourse.
Suddenly, he stopped and hovered in the air, looking down.
Below him were three Blue Scale Crocodiles.
Two were lying beside the water, while the third was inside the water.
Lizarius remained hovering invisibly in the air.
*Three Blue Scale Crocodiles.
They’re just as big as the ones I killed before.*
He asked the system,
“What are their ranks?”
The system replied,
**”Blue Scale Crocodile.
Mainly uses physical attacks and has strong defense.
One Rank 5 Mid Stage, two Rank 4 Late Stage.”**
Lizarius remained invisible in the air.
*A Mid Stage Rank 5…
I won’t be able to kill it with my current strength.*
*I have to be at least at the Mid or Late Stage of Rank 4.*
