Multiple glowing red eyes appeared throughout the forest, all fixed on Lizarius.
Lizarius was already aware of their presence, but he continued devouring the chimpanzee corpse.
He asked the system,
“Can the monkeys also paralyze each other by making eye contact?”
The system replied,
**”Red Eyes Chimpanzees can also paralyze other Red Eyes Chimpanzees that are weaker than them, but the effect is not as strong.
They can only be paralyzed for a few seconds.”**
Lizarius finished eating the chimpanzee corpse.
The system announced,
**”Gain 500 Evolution Points and the Red Eyes Chimpanzee Gene.”**
Lizarius licked his mouth and slowly turned invisible.
“Fuse Gene.”
A burning sensation suddenly spread through his eyes.
Lizarius closed them from the pain.
Meanwhile, the chimpanzees hidden throughout the forest stared in shock as Lizarius suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly—
Several chimpanzees began coughing out blood.
They collapsed from the trees and fell to the ground, dead.
The other chimpanzees, seeing their companions die for seemingly no reason, began screaming.
But one after another—
They continued dying.
Lizarius was still invisible.
His wings were spread as he moved from tree to tree.
He swung his tail.
**WHOOSH!**
Multiple golden scales shot through the air, piercing the chimpanzees hiding among the trees.
*Since they can only paralyze their prey by making eye contact, as long as I don’t make eye contact with them and remain invisible, I can kill them easily.*
Lizarius spread his wings and jumped from the tree he was standing on, preparing to land on a nearby tree.
But suddenly—
His eyes met those of a chimpanzee standing on the tree.
They made eye contact.
Lizarius’s thoughts immediately became alert. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
*We made eye contact.*
*Will I be paralyzed?*
Suddenly, the chimpanzee’s body went limp.
It fell from the tree.
Lizarius, still invisible, slowly landed on the branch.
*Why am I still able to move after making eye contact?*
Lizarius looked down at the chimpanzee lying motionless on the ground.
He asked the system,
“Why wasn’t I paralyzed?”
The system replied,
**”It was unable to paralyze you because it is weaker than you.”**
A few seconds later, the chimpanzee suddenly stood back up.
Lizarius asked,
“What’s its rank?”
The system replied,
**”Rank 6 Mid Stage Red Eyes Chimpanzee.”**
Lizarius thought,
*So, as long as my rank is higher, I won’t be paralyzed even if I make eye contact.*
*Instead, they will be the ones getting paralyzed.*
*Killing them just became even easier.*
Lizarius spread his wings and swung his tail.
**WHOOSH!**
Golden scales shot toward the chimpanzees.
One of the golden scales struck a chimpanzee that was about four feet tall.
The system had identified it as a **Rank 7 Low Stage** beast.
The golden scale pierced its body.
It coughed out blood, but it didn’t fall.
Instead, it turned toward the direction the golden scale had come from and immediately charged.
It leaped from tree to tree, rapidly closing the distance.
Lizarius suddenly flew away from the tree.
The chimpanzee reached the branch a moment later and swung its hand.
**SWISH!**
Its claws tore through the spot where Lizarius had been standing.
Lizarius was already standing on a nearby tree.
Suddenly—
The chimpanzee coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Its body trembled before it collapsed.
Lizarius looked at it.
*It was still able to move after being pierced by my golden scales.*
*And it even tried to attack me despite not being able to see me.*
Lizarius looked at the claw marks left on the branch where he had been standing earlier.
*It probably attacked there because it knew that’s where the attacks were coming from.*
*But I moved before its attack could reach me.*
*Even if its attack had landed, it wouldn’t have been able to scratch my scales.*
Lizarius spread his wings and jumped onto another nearby tree.
He swung his tail.
**WHOOSH!**
More golden scales shot toward the remaining chimpanzees.
Lizarius continued moving from tree to tree, repeatedly launching golden scales.
*There are only a few left.*
Eventually, Lizarius landed on a tree while remaining invisible.
He turned toward the remaining chimpanzees.
His glowing yellow eyes narrowed.
*Why does that one look different?*
Among the remaining chimpanzees stood one with golden-brown hair.
It was standing on top of a tree, with five other normal-looking chimpanzees beside it.
Lizarius continued staring at the unusual chimpanzee.
He asked the system,
“What’s its rank?”
The system replied,
**”Rank 6 Mid Stage Mutated Red Eyes Chimpanzee.”**
Lizarius was surprised.
*Rank 6?*
*I thought its rank was higher.*
