The following day, the sun had barely risen.

Alex had climbed out of the dark, damp cave and was ready to hunt the animals on the surface.

Above the surface was an ancient forest.

Not far away, Alex could see giant trees of strange shapes.

There were all kinds of plants, and many tropical plants covered the whole land, rendering it green.

Alex saw a man-eating flower in the distance, which was about one meter tall.

The flower was covered with white spots. There was a big round mouth in the middle. It was extremely red as if it was dripping with blood, and it filled it with sharp thorns inside the flower.

"What a magical land," Alex thought to himself. "But eating flowers shouldn't increase my evolution points. I'll let it go today."

Alex continued to look around, but there was no sign of any animals nearby.

He decided to camouflage himself and wait for the prey to come to him.

Since this place was full of plants, Alex chose a giant leaf plant to hide under its leaves.

The prey came to him quietly.

After a while, there was a cracking sound.

A mouse-like animal was eating wild fruit, but it was dozens of times the size of a mouse, more than a meter tall.

At this time, the system panel also sent a prompt:

Species description:

Name: Capybara

Class: Mammalia

Order: Rodents

Family: Capybara

Species characteristics: Capybara is a semi-aquatic herbivore but also the world's largest rodent. Its body is enormous. It is 1-1.3 meters long, 0.5 meters high at the shoulder, and weighs 27-50 kilograms. It is the only species of the family capybara in the rodent family. It is the largest rodent in the world.

"I saw a brand new species at the beginning of the game. It is a good start." Alex could not help but feel happy.

Alex, who had completed his first evolution, could quickly kill this capybara.

Suddenly, Alex felt a vibration nearby. Something was approaching!

At this moment, Alex heard the sound of scales scratching the ground.

Si Si!

Almost at the same time, a cobra with golden stripes darted out!

It raised its diamond-shaped, sharp head and opened its large mouth, revealing its sharp fangs.

With lightning speed, it bit the capybara's neck.

With the snake's venom injection, the capybara let out a screech and could no longer move.

"There is still someone who dares to snatch my prey? !" Alex was furious.

Alex moved the leaf, lifted his pincers, and attacked the snake directly!

At this moment, the cobra noticed him. It hurriedly shook off the capybara, trying to avoid Alex's ferocious pincers.

Alex had just reached the ground surface, so he was not sure about the combat ability of his evolved body.

Therefore, he had thought before that it was best to be steady. To deal with the cobra, he still needed to rely on the venom of his stinger.

Therefore, the pincers just now were just a feint. The natural killer move was still relying on the stinger on his tail.

When the cobra dodged Alex's pincers, it just happened to enter the attack range of the stinger on Alex's tail.

Alex immediately activated his skill, and [ Sudden Impact ] was cast on the tail.

In an instant, the originally fierce and sharp poison needle became even faster.

It directly pierced into the body of the cobra.

The cobra felt a sharp pain and immediately swung its body, wanting to escape.

Alex watched silently. The longer the cobra could struggle, the higher its poison resistance was, and the weaker Alex's poison was.

He needed to use this cobra with high resistance to poison to estimate the strength of his venom.

But Alex was soon relieved because the cobra soon fell to the ground and twitched.

Alex waited patiently for a while more. He waited until the cobra was utterly dead before he began to devour it.

The level of this cobra was not comparable to the field mouse and cockroach that he devoured two days ago.

As expected, as Alex devoured it, the evolution energy in his body was also increasing rapidly.

1.2... 1.3... 1.4... 1.5..

In the end, this Cobra provided Alex with a total of 3.1 evolution points.

Alex took advantage of the situation and devoured the capybara that was bitten to death by the cobra.

His evolution points rose to 4.5.

"Good, now I'm only 5.5 evolution points away from the next evolution."

Alex continued to crawl in the dark and damp primitive forest. He was now eager to experience the next evolution.

However, in this unfamiliar primitive forest, he had to maintain vigilance at all times because countless rare birds, fierce beasts, mosquitoes, insects, leeches, and snakes were here.

In the distance, there seemed to be a creepy sound and the howls of natives fighting with wild beasts.

But the plants were too thick, and the forest was very dense, and there were only trees as far as the eye could see.

It gave this primitive tropical rainforest a layer of primitive, mysterious, fascinating, and frightening veils.

But Alex knew very well that with the system, he was the king here.

But he still needed to develop. Alex kept going, looking for prey.

Under the dense foliage of plants on the surface, there were a large number of poisonous insects.

For humans, they were extremely dangerous killers.

But Alex, who now had the Devouring Evolutionary System, was above these species.

To Alex, these poisonous insects were just nutrients for evolution.

Alex quickly devoured the tarantulas and centipedes one by one.

These poisonous insects couldn't fight back at all.

They couldn't hurt Alex, who had gone through his first evolution.

At present, no insects were Alex's match!

However, in this dense primitive forest, the danger was not limited to insects. It was not enough to devour just the insects to evolve.

Alex calculated the energy required for evolution as he continued to move forward.

Suddenly, he smelled a faint rotten smell.

If he were in the human era, he definitely would not have noticed this smell.

However, he had transformed into a scorpion and had undergone an evolution. His sense of smell had become sharper, and his hunting instinct had become more robust.

He searched for the smell and finally found the corpse of a wild boar dozens of meters away.

Wild Boars were very lethal in the wild, and many ferocious beasts were not a match for them.

This wild boar was not very big. It was a young wild boar. For some reason, it had died here, and it was already somewhat rotten.

It was full of flies, buzzing non-stop.

Alex went forward and waved the flies away. He used the poisonous needle on his tail and kept swinging.

At first, he was not very familiar with it, but as the number of times he used it increased, his hitting rate gradually increased, and he drove almost all the flies away.

To get evolution points, Alex resisted nausea and activated devour.

An hour later, he had entirely devoured the wild boar.

The boar gave him 15 evolution points.

By now, Alex had reached 20 evolution points, enough for the next evolution.
