"Host, your evolution points have met the requirements for the second evolution."

The system's voice sounded.

"Quickly start the evolution."

Alex did not hesitate and immediately chose to evolve.

The system reminded, "The second evolution takes 90 minutes. I recommend that you choose a safe and undisturbed place to proceed because during the second evolution, you are not allowed to move during the entire process."

"Does this mean that there is a risk of failure if you are disturbed during evolution?" Alex asked.

"Yes, it is best that you choose a safe place. Getting disturbed during the evolution will affect the operation of the energy, and there is even a risk of failure."

Upon hearing this, Alex walked towards the underground cave where he had woken up in the beginning.

In this vast and endless primitive forest, there was no way to know if there was any danger. Currently, the safest place was the underground cave in the beginning.

Because, during the first evolution, Alex had cleared out all the creatures near the cave.

Alex returned to the cave.

"Let's start the second evolution now."

Following that, Alex waited silently.

"Okay, Host, we are undergoing the second evolution for you. This evolution process will last for 90 minutes."

Following that, Alex felt a strange energy spreading throughout his body until it filled his entire body.

Compared to the last evolution, the energy this time was even more turbulent. Alex could feel the power flowing through his body.

He could also feel that the strength of this evolution was more potent than the last one.

..

As time passed, his body also showed the effects of the evolution.

Alex's body size continued to grow: 21 cm... 22 cm... 23 cm... 24 cm.

After 50 minutes, Alex's body size had exceeded the limits of the Far East Scorpion.

Under normal circumstances, the Far East Scorpion's body length reached 15 cm, which was considered significant.

And even the most giant scorpion, the emperor scorpion, was only 20 to 30 cm in length under normal circumstances. Reaching 40 centimeters was already a record-breaking existence.

Alex's growth had already exceeded the limits of scorpions.

After 90 minutes, the second evolution was complete.

Alex's body had reached an astonishing 70 centimeters, almost bursting this narrow cave.

Seventy centimeters long scorpion, what kind of existence was this? It was full of deterrence.

"Hello, Host. This evolution is very successful. Would you like to hear the details?"

The system reminded.

"Speak," Alex said.

"Host, this evolution of yours has improved all aspects, including vitality, defense, strength, speed, and poison. Your life has increased by 3.2 times, protection by four times, strength by 3.5 times, speed by two times, and poison by 3.6 times.

"It sounds vague. Is there a more intuitive way to express it?"

"Alright, Host. According to the current universal concept, a normal healthy adult's values are all 10. Your current values are Vitality 70, strength 30, defense 40, speed 20, and toxicity 240."

Alex raised his pincers and struck forward, easily piercing into the cave wall in front of him.

"This feeling of being full of power is excellent. Now, three to five normal people are no match for me, especially if they don't use weapons. I would be able to beat them down easily," Alex thought to himself.

However, this was just a thought. Alex did not have the idea of putting humans on the menu yet.

After all, to a certain extent, humans were the most influential animals in nature.

If he did not handle it correctly, he would get into a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Alex's current thought was that he would not offend others if they did not offend him. First, he would devour other creatures to improve himself.

"Oh right, system, what skill did I obtain this time?"

"Reporting to the Host, the skill you obtained this time is [ Water Resistance ]. After using it, you can breathe in the water for 10 hours. You don't have to worry about the water pressure even when you are at the very bottom of the sea. We can say that this skill is the highest level of water permeability."

Alex was delighted with the skill of [Water Resistance]. Because he already had a damage output skill, the skill requirement for the second evolution was not a damage skill.

Moreover, after spending half a day in the underground cave and constantly searching for food on the surface, he felt a little tired of it.

There was more space at the bottom of the sea than on land, and Alex had long wanted to explore it.

Besides, scorpions could not swim. If Alex did not obtain this skill, he would not be able to explore the underwater world for a long time in the future.

Now that he had this skill, not only could he explore the bottom of the sea, but it could also help him capture different species to devour and evolve.

"You can avoid the water for 10 hours at a time. The error tolerance rate is very high. What is the cooldown time?"

"Reporting to Host, the current cooldown time is about 24 hours. As your strength continues to grow, the cooldown time will also decrease."

"Hmm, not bad." Alex opened his system interface:

Host: Alex

Race: Arachnida Arachnida Far East Scorpion

Lifespan: 95 years

Level: Tier 2

Age: 0.1 years

Evolution points: 10

Abilities: Sudden Impact (buffed by energy and gravity, increases speed and damage, doubles attack speed, triples attack effect).

Water Resistance (water resistance for 10 hours, underwater breathing, regardless of water pressure)

"Not bad, this evolution didn't just increase my strength by so much. I gained a Water Resistance skill and even increased my lifespan by so much. If I evolve once more, wouldn't I become a thousand-year-old monster? And if I continue to evolve like this, I will be immortal in the future." Alex was secretly happy.

"Reporting to Host, your current evolution point is 10 points. You will need 90 more points to evolve again. The further you evolve, the more difficult it will be. Host, you have to work hard!"

"Of course, my goal is not only this world. This small primitive forest is destined to be my stepping stone. I will become the most powerful existence in this forest, the most powerful existence on this planet, and even dominate the entire universe. Now that I have obtained such a powerful system, I will not let down this heaven-sent opportunity. I will not continue to be an ant-like existence. I want this world to tremble for me!"

With this belief, Alex walked out of the cave once again. This time, stepping out of the cave would be a farewell.

And this ancient primitive forest would also welcome a bloody storm.
