907 Magic (1/2)
Three days later in a certain cave.
A large lizard lay on the ground. Its body trembled as lumps of flesh began popping up grotesquely.
”Even if I haven't unlocked my stats window, having consumed so much food, it's enough to help me move onto the next level!”
Fang Yuan's current incarnation, the lizard, yelled out loud as lumps of flesh moved about continuously, causing his body to swell. Instantly, he grew to a length of seven meters at once!
His mouth became wider, and his razor-sharp fangs were like steel daggers.
His skin started to turn red, and he looked like a prehistoric lizard embodied with viciousness.
”Although I don't know if this body's family are also mutants, my original body was definitely one. This is something I can confirm!”
Seeing his appearance, Fang Yuan was left speechless. ”Even though the qualities have increased in level, this appearance… it makes it harder to head outside now!”
He crawled out of his cave.
The cave seemed much narrower than before, so he forcibly expanded the cave.
Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!
Suddenly, several small lizards rushed out of the forest. They looked a little similar to Fang Yuan, but they were several times smaller.
”Let's go!”
”Run!”
…
From their panic, Fang Yuan could only obtain this information.
”Looks like… the hunter is here?”
Fang Yuan opened his mouth wide. He laughed coldly before running in the opposite direction.
…
Within the thick forest.
”Mr. Xinge, I want to capture that largest mutant lizard… You can certainly find it, right?”
Professor Xifan had brought several students with him. Wearing cameo clothes, they carried many weapons while talking to each other excitedly.
”Hmm, don't worry!” Xinge nodded nonchalantly. ”As long as that mutant shows up, it won't escape my trap! Oh? It looks like we've got one!”
He cut several vines and rushed to the front.
Inside a large net, a large lizard that was around two meters long was trapped and currently struggling with all its might.
”Wonderful! The rest of you go ahead to take a look. I want a report about giant lizard skins!” Xifan ordered the students.
After he forced all of them to touch the giant lizard's skin, the professor took out a metal collar. ”In order to further our research, we have to put an observation collar on it. To prevent it from escaping, we also need to install a tracking device. We'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xinge. I need it to stop resisting!”
Even though the tracking device was smaller than the metal collar, it was at least as large as a cigarette tray. One could imagine the pain it would have to endure.
”No problem. Using a strong dosage of tranquilizer will be enough to satisfy your request!”
Xinge laughed aloud, and then he aimed at the lizard and shot the tranquilizer.
After a soft thud, this large, struggling lizard's resistance soon came to a complete halt. It lay there, surrendering itself to the brutal slicing.
”Thank you, Mr. Xinge!”
Seeing this, Xifan was overjoyed. He brought the students forward and began performing the surgery.
”Even though this guy's skin is very tough, my gun and needle are specially customized for it. Even that mutant from the other day wouldn't be able to resist…” Xinge said proudly and blew his gun.
Splash!
Suddenly, a thick trunk fell to the ground from afar, and something that sounded like a van was rushing straight for them.
”Sir!” Snow's voice quivered. ”Look!”
Without needing him to point out, everyone could see it. A terrifying red shadow was rushing out from the thick forest.
It was another large, impressive lizard. However, this one was around seven to eight meters long. It had bright red scales covering its body, and its limbs looked thick and powerful. Trees fell apart with each pounce.
”Heavens… I can't believe there's such a humongous lizard here. This discovery will definitely make it into the history books!”
Professor Xifan's eyes glowed brightly. He pulled Xifan, who was next to him. ”Aren't you going to fire?”
”Fire!” Xinge's eyes were bleak as he raised his gun. Suddenly, he swung his gun at Professor Xifan's face. ”You're insane… You crazy old man, you're going to get me killed!”
Once he finished his words, he turned around and ran with his tail between his legs.
As an experienced survivor in forests, he instinctively understood the ferocity of top-tier predators.
Also, the customized guns and tranquilizers he had could only deal with giant lizards that were four to five meters long.
However, this new player on the field probably had scales that were several inches thick! No matter how much money he was offered, there was no way he would deliver his life on a plate like that!
”Huh? He runs pretty quick!”
Seeing this scene unfold before him, Fang Yuan ran pass the professor and the others, charging straight for Xinge.
”Sh*t!” Xinge cursed violently before firing a shot behind his back.
Although he had not aimed, since the target's body was so large, there was no way he could have missed.
Whoosh!
Fang Yuan saw a tranquilizer fly at him, but it merely created a small spark on his shoulder. After that, the tranquilizer flew away, not even leaving a scratch.
