Chapter 4 The first evolution(1/2)
The color of the lizard is different from that of Gran, but the size is very similar.
It also has the desire to survive and is constantly struggling in the mouth of the little pterosaur.
But the little pterosaur's beak firmly bit the lizard, and the lizard's meager strength was unable to resist it.
Glen was very frightened by the sight, and because of the resemblance, he imagined that the lizard was himself.
So he hoped that the lizard could break free and save its life.
The lizard struggled harder and harder, its scales were rubbed off by the pterosaur's beak, and blood flowed out.
But he still couldn't escape the control of the little pterosaur.
Then, the little pterosaur made an unexpected move. It opened its mouth and put the lizard on the ground.
The lizard immediately limped and crawled, wanting to leave this place.
Gran felt much better when he saw this, although he didn't know why the little pterosaur did this.
Is it mercy? No.
The little pterosaur didn't let the lizard go.
It poked the lizard's body with its sharp beak, pecking the lizard in half with just one blow.
Gran was stunned. He felt the same, and imagined a tearing pain in his body.
The little pterosaur then attacked the lizard, pecking it into several pieces of meat and swallowing it.
Lizards disappeared from this world.
Gran felt that if it were him, he would be easily eaten by a small pterosaur.
The sharp beak can break through the scales and peck out a bloody hole in it.
He felt that if he did not become stronger, sooner or later he would become food for predators, just like the insects in his hands.
Glen didn't even dare to dig a hole, fearing that the noise would attract the attention of the little pterosaur.
He hid in the grass with unusual calmness until the little pterosaur disappeared without a trace.
After that, I continued to look for insects, but the main goal changed from filling my stomach to gaining points.
At this moment, Gran just wants to 'evolve' and become stronger.
.
Gran worked until dark with a psychological burden, and only got 8 evolution points. The number of times he could eat some food repeatedly had reached the upper limit, and he could no longer get points.
Glen was not disappointed, and he did not expect to get much.
I got 21 points yesterday and 17 points today, for a total of 38 evolution points.
After deducting the 10 points required for evolution, the talent pool can be drawn 5 times.
What can these 5 opportunities... bring?
The interface of the talent pool appeared in front of Gran's eyes. Even though he didn't have any good impression of the talent pool, he still had expectations for it.
Use the first draw opportunity.
The talent pool flashed with inferior special effects, giving Gran the first talent in his life... Tenacity.
N level talent, lowest rarity.
Sure enough, how could something good happen to him right away?
The second and third shots are also n-level talents, namely stench and fire resistance.
The fourth shot is an R-level talent, understand.
Gran couldn't understand the use of this understanding talent.
As luck would have it, Gran's favorability towards the talent pool has dropped a lot.
As if he heard Gran's complaint, an SR-level talent, Dragon's Whisper, appeared in the light pollution special effects of the talent pool.
The 25 evolution points that he had obtained through so much hard work were used up like this, and Gran felt mixed emotions.
He comforted himself that he was lucky if he had the SR talent.
Then I thought about how to use these talents. Tenacity and fire resistance must be talents that enhance defense capabilities.
Dragon Language is probably a talent for speaking dragon language, and he will definitely use it because of its rarity.
Next is understanding...use it directly to see what you can understand.
Finally, there is the n-level talent stench, the effect is unimaginable.
After weighing it, he decided not to use this talent. If the effect was uncontrollable, he would be in big trouble.
Even if he believed that the system would not harm the host... Gran didn't trust this system that cut corners at all, and he might just sell the host one day.
I put talents other than stench into the empty talent slot, dug the crypt bigger and stronger, and decided to start evolving.
Gran looked up at the stars in the night sky, thinking a lot.
Then without any further hesitation, he clicked the 'evolve' button in the system, not giving himself any chance to hesitate.
Then,
Gran's consciousness became blurred.
Just like when I was in the egg, I couldn't concentrate. But then it was because of comfort, but this time it was because of pain.
A burning sensation spread all over his body, and some kind of force was tearing his muscles apart, cutting off his nerves, steaming his blood dry, and crushing his bones.
It seemed like it was going to wipe him out of the world. Glen had never experienced this kind of pain, but he couldn't even moan and could only bear it silently.
Fortunately, this pain has an end. Until Gran can start to think, the pain gradually subsides.
The first evolution has ended, and Gran can only feel tired, hungry and...crowded.
After evolving, his body became much larger, filling the entire crypt with all four claws embedded in the soil. Only half of his body was exposed, and he was almost buried alive.
Fortunately, his nose was not buried in the soil and he could breathe air, otherwise he would have suffocated to death.
It took a lot of effort to break free from the cave, and Gran was glad that he could still crawl out.
Next time, he must dig a huge hole that is both hidden and able to contain dozens of himself, so Gran planned.
He rubbed his face on the grass next to the crypt, wiped the mud from around his eyes, and finally could see the outside world again.
The time seemed to be morning, and the grass that was previously taller than him had become shorter. The trees were still tall, but not as strong as before.
Gran looked at his current body, which was more than one meter long overall, half a meter without the tail, which was four to five times longer than before evolution.
The pointed claws of the forelimbs are sharper, the muscles are full of strength, and the brown-black scales become smooth and thick, glowing under the sunlight.
Open the system panel and the status bar on the first page.
Name: Grant
Talents: Dragon Bloodline (thin), Tenacity, Fire Resistance, Understanding, Dragon Language
Evolution points: 3 points
The concentration of dragon blood has become thinner and seems to have increased with evolution.
There was originally only one lizard silhouette in the evolutionary tree on the second page. Now there is another lizard silhouette next to this silhouette. The limbs look stronger than the former, and there are bumps on the head.
You can't tell much just by looking at the silhouette, so you still need to find a lake to use as a mirror.
In addition, he was now thirsty, hungry and tired, so he decided to take a short rest and start looking for food.
Gran guessed that it would be in this state every time it evolved, so it was necessary to prepare water and food in advance to survive this period safely.
Glen was looking for food in the forest, and he felt very uneasy.
Originally, the color of his brown and black scales was not suitable for the forest environment. Now that his body has grown in size and there is no grass to cover it, it is difficult for him to hide his position.
Sure enough, he shouldn't evolve, and as expected, Gran began to regret it.
All morning, Gran could only find some insects, which was no way to fill his current stomach.
The hungry Gran stared at the bark of the surrounding trees and began to feel that the woody fragrance exuding from the bark was very attractive.
He tore off a piece of bark with his sharp claws, broke it into small pieces and stuffed it into his mouth.
It's hard and dry, making it difficult to eat, and it doesn't satisfy your hunger, so you still have to starve.
Gran was so helpless that he didn't even want to complain. He made a decision - to rest until night before looking for food and become a nocturnal animal.
.
In the dark night, two waning moons hung in the night sky.
A bird rested on a branch, and a black shadow slowly climbed up the trunk and approached the bird.
The stupid bird didn't realize that a greedy guy was staring at it. Only when the shadow climbed to the same height as the bird did it realize the crisis.
Just when it wanted to fly away, it was too late. The black shadow pounced on the bird and caught it in its mouth.
Gran quickly bit the prey's throat, ending its life cleanly without letting it struggle needlessly.
To be continued...
