Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 7

"Damn it, we still have to walk for a long time before we can see the Coiling Snake Pagoda," The black youth, Bill, growled.
At this time, if he had not come to this godforsaken place to look for the Coiling Snake Pagoda, he would have been able to enjoy a weekend with his girlfriend.
He could have a barbecue or watch a game on the field.
"Bill, can't you shut your mouth? Instead of complaining here, why don't you save your energy and hurry up? When we find the legendary ruins, we still have a lot of time. You can do whatever you want," The captain, Charles, who was walking in front, said.
Jack patted Bill's shoulder and said, "Buddy, you can't be so bad. Look at our two beauties. They didn't say anything. You're complaining here. Are you still a man?"
The white beauty, Diana, looked at Harden in front of her. He was holding a machete and was scouting the way.
That was what a man should be. Then, she glanced at Bill with disdain and said, "Coward, you won't be able to achieve great things in your lifetime."
Bill instantly became furious. "What did you say, you b*tch? Don't think that just because you're powerful, I'm afraid of you."
As he said that, he was about to go up and fight.
Charles, who came over, kicked his butt. "All right, all of you, be quiet. It is the Amazon rainforest, not a manor. If any of you want to die, I can give you a bullet to avoid implicating everyone."
Just as they were talking, a strong wind suddenly blew, making them unable to open their eyes.
In the dense forest above them, a vast shadow flashed above their heads. The immense shadow reflected on the ground.
The few of them were instantly stunned. What Charles said came true.

Jack instantly protected Johnson. The other mercenaries also reacted and raised their guns toward the sky. Such a vast shadow; it must be a big guy.
Everyone's nerves tensed up.
At this time, Alex, who had just arrived, hid in a tall bush and looked up at the dense forest.
His sharp gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of obstacles. He saw a vast toad hiding on one of the tree trunks.
It was as big as a small hill. It spat out a tongue as thick as a tree trunk and stared at the team below.
It was as if it was going to launch an attack at the next moment.
An ordinary toad would not be this big. Alex was excited. This toad was another wave of experience points, and it was a mutated species.
But now, the toad would not attack immediately.
Alex wanted to see the toad's combat strength. Only by knowing the enemy would it be easier to kill the enemy.
It was combat awareness.
On the other side, Charles' eyes eyes were like lightning as he constantly scanned the surroundings. His face was full of solemnity. "Everyone, be careful. Form a formation. Diana, Alice, you two protect Mr. Johnson. The rest of you follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred-meter-long straw fell from the sky and attacked the back of a mercenary. It sucked tightly.
There were visible capillaries on it, like blood-red wool.
Everyone was scared and silly.
The mercenary cried out in fear, his hands pulling a stone tightly. Charles reacted and raised his gun to shoot.
Da Da da da!
The ink-green liquid kept flowing out.
"Chi-Chi!"
A strange roar came from above.
"Run!"
Charles roared and immediately pulled the mercenary up. At this time, his back was a bloody mess, and it had a bloody hole.
Even the ribs inside were visible.

Seeing this, Johnson hurriedly rushed forward. Charles and the two mercenaries stayed behind.
"Ah, save me!"
At the moment they were stunned, the terrifying white straw fell from the sky again and sucked the mercenary.
With a scream, he disappeared into the dense forest above.
Then there was a clatter.
.
Charles widened his eyes and saw a vast toad jump down. Its eyes were like lanterns, staring at them coldly and drooling all over the ground.
"Gulp!"
As mercenaries, they had experienced countless battles. They had never seen such a giant toad. Cold sweat was dripping down.
At this moment, they could even smell the stench of blood.
Run!
With a loud shout, they ran as fast as they could. The team did not even dare to turn around, afraid that the toad would kill them the moment they turned around.
The toad spat out its long tongue. Its pupils constricted. Just as it was about to catch up to these people, it suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Alex's two large pincers swung directly at its stomach, cutting through its armor. A wound of dozens of centimeters appeared, and blood trickled down.
The toad let out a miserable cry and spat out its poisonous tongue as if it was wrapping around Alex.
However, its speed was too slow, and he easily dodged it.
The two pincers quickly struck out and fiercely clamped in, cutting it into two halves. The movements of his legs did not stop, and he quickly climbed to the back of the toad. He immediately turned around, and with a poisonous sting, he directly pierced through the toad's head.
"Bang!"
The vast body fell to the ground.
Alex directly dragged the toad to a hidden bush and began to devour it.
About half an hour passed. This time, Alex received a total of 100 evolution points. As expected of a mutated species, the points from the toad directly caught up with more than a few caimans.
...
Johnson and the others who gathered in another place had not recovered from their shock. That was too terrifying.
The Amazon rainforest was indeed a paradise for animals.
A forbidden area for humans.
He looked at Charles in shock. "What was that thing just now?"
Until now, his heart was still trembling. It was true that he only had half a year left. To survive, he would give everything, but that did not mean that he was not afraid.
Everybody would be afraid from the bottom of their heart if they met an unknown and fearful creature.
Moreover, he had a hundred billion in assets, so he understood how precious life was.
Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to come to this place filled with fatal dangers to look for the coiling snake pagoda.
Charles panted heavily and said, "It's... It's a toad."
Looking at everyone's apparent disbelief, Charles repeatedly confirmed that if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not believe that there was such a giant toad in the world.
It was too terrifying.
At this time, Byron said, "The largest toad in the world can not grow so big unless there is a mutation. Something caused the cells in their bodies to divide rapidly, resulting in a mutation. And the one that has this effect..."
"The Coiling Snake Pagoda!"
A light flashed in Johnson's eyes, and his entire body trembled. "That's right, it's the Coiling Snake Pagoda. We are getting closer and closer."
"But there's another problem. The deeper we go, the more mutated animals we'll face. This time, it's the toad, but no one knows what the next one will be."
Professor Byron's words were like thunder, resounding fiercely in the depths of their souls.

8 214The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

I had recently enrolled in the military as a lowly footsoldier. Oh, before you could proceed any further, let me tell you about myself. I ain’t some patriotic soldier that’ll lay down my life for the sake of my country. Hell no! That shit is for the people with loose screws! I had only a few goals when I joined the army: March into battle, kick ass, and earn me some cash! Achieving glory on the way wouldn’t hurt. I just need the money to feed my little brother and sister. Their world is all I want to protect. The glory is for washing clean the stains that my father left on the family name. We became such a joke in the country that our mother abandoned us. I don’t know if he really did betray the country, but I don’t care. For my little siblings to suffer the same mockery and humiliation that I did is unacceptable! To protect the smiles of my only family, I would do anything. Yet, life knows to shit on you when things are just getting good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, author-san here!This is my first story, set up in a fantasy world. It's based on the medieval and steam era where magic is rare and alchemy is used widely used as a weapon by people. There would be lots of action, adventure, betrayal, tragedy, romance, etc. ahead. Warnings-The mc is a bit mean and foul-mouthed, introvert. There would be strong language and lots of monologue narration by the MC. The stories are fast-paced and progressing faster. The chapters update would be unstable, depending on my daily life. You would get fast updates... or slow.Also, English isn't my first language. So don't expect perfect grammar :( P.S. - I would like some constructive critique and feedback!It fills my motivation gauge and increases that rate of chapter/week. (/>3
