Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 9
Advertisement
The giant python raised its head and hissed at Alex, clearly warning him.
But its body just ate, and its swaying body seemed a little heavy.
Alex pounced forward, and two sharp and strong pincers cut a bloody wound on the giant python's body, which was 20 to 30 centimeters wide.
Its snake scales were easily cut open, causing it intense pain. Its bloated body swayed back and forth as it spat out the human corpse.
As it had not been long, the human body had not wholly corroded, but it was sticky, and its facial features had rotted.
Snakes all over the world had a unique characteristic.
Although they had sharp teeth and lethal poison, they could not tear their prey into pieces and eat them like cats. So instead, they swallowed them whole.
That habit reduced their attack power significantly. In addition, the snake's weight and the weight of the prey reduced the sensitivity.
Therefore, when an alien species threatened them and the prey in their bodies had not completely digested, they would spit out their game.
It would improve their combat strength.
However, it was useless because they were not facing an ordinary scorpion but the constantly evolving Alex.
The python swept towards Alex, its entire body becoming much lighter. Its tail was like a whip, crazily waving towards Alex.
Everything around it seemed to be turned into paper under its tail, easily torn.
But it was useless.
Alex's movements were too fast; the python could not keep up with the rhythm at all. It was mighty, but it was a waste of energy.
Alex suddenly raised his legs, slightly bent, and like a spring that had accumulated power, he jumped up. His two pincers clamped the python's head, and with a swing of his tail, he stabbed into the python's head.
The fatal venom entered, and the python's body rolled on the ground, struggling to escape into the distance.
Three meters.
Five meters.
Ten meters.
Finally, it collapsed on the ground and was completely silent.
It was dead.
He had poisoned a giant python that was more than ten meters long and weighed more than 300 kilograms in less than ten seconds. In addition, the venom seemed to have become more robust.

Alex shook his stinger. He was somewhat satisfied.
If a person took it with its current toxicity, even a tiny drop would achieve an instant result.
Without a doubt, this giant python was the largest creature he had hunted. After devouring it for almost three hours, he had obtained 120 evolution points from it.
Sure enough, the giant python was also affected by the pagoda.
The genes in its body had already mutated. This mutated creature had obtained more evolution points and more robust genes.
Before this, he had devoured a flying toad and received 100 evolution points. As a result, he had obtained the highest record that a single prey had given.
This record had not even lasted for a day. Who would have thought that Alex would break it again?
With 120 evolution points, the giant python took first place.
However, this was a start. There were still stronger creatures after it. After devouring them, the number of points it would obtain would increase.
It was only a matter of time before Alex dominated the world.
This time, Alex did not come to the wrong place.
However, there was a problem in front of him.
How should Alex deal with this utterly unrecognizable human? The powerful gastric acid had already eroded his body, turning him into a bloody mess. But there was no doubt that this human still had this considerable energy.
Should he devour him!
Alex only hesitated for a minute before deciding to devour him.
Rather than turning him into nutrients for the surroundings, it would be better to let him help his path of evolution.
However, Alex kept reminding himself in his heart that devouring corpses and devouring humans were two different things and could not be confused. However, as his path of evolution continued to grow stronger, it was only a matter of time before he stood on the opposite side of humanity.
The conflict between the two was probably unavoidable.
However, he was not the savior, nor was he God.
If humans wanted to hunt him down, he would not show mercy either; he would not stupidly repay kindness with resentment.

That was because humans were selfish. They were the masters of everything. They would not let creatures that were beyond their control live. Only by killing them could they forever consolidate their status.
They stood at the highest position and looked down at the bottom of the food chain.
"He Rui, will I meet humans one day in the future?" Alex was a little sad.
He Rui was the name that Alex had given to the system.
He Rui said, "Host, this is for sure. If you continue to evolve, you will eventually be exposed to humans. Then, as you grow up, there will be conflicts sooner or later. We can't get along peacefully."
"He Rui, if it comes to that, do you think I can kill them all and kill billions of humans?"
"If you don't want to be wiped out by the humans, this is the only way!" He Rui said.
"Is there no other way?" Alex tightened his grip.
"If it comes to the point of no return, my strength has already reached the peak on this planet. So I will nurture a puppet and choose to be a big boss behind the scenes. I will still be the strongest person, but I will not be exposed to the public."
He Rui nodded. "I admit, your method is much better than my method of killing all the humans. So, I support the Host's idea. I am looking forward to that day."
Alex was only a tiny character in his previous life. In this life, he had become a small scorpion. So for him to not take the initiative to kill humans for the sake of being a human in his previous life, he already had a conscience and a bottom line.
He couldn't sacrifice himself to help others, whether in his previous life or this life.
Just as He Rui said, this human corpse had high-quality genes. Although it was dozens of times lighter than the python, the energy it gave was more than 400 evolution points.
This human refreshed the evolution energy record of the newly created individual prey once again.
...
When Alex was devouring the Python, Johnson's team advanced at a speed of 2.5 kilometers per hour. Finally, they passed through numerous obstacles and stopped in front of a vast tree crown.
That was their final goal, the Coiling Snake Ruins.
Johnson stared at the red mark on the tablet computer and was ecstatic.
"We're finally here! The Coiling Snake Ruins, haha!"
The few of them looked at the pitch-black hole in front of them and had different thoughts.
At this time, Charles tightened his body and said, "Damn, why is it so cold here!"
He said it unintentionally, but it sounded like he meant it.
Everyone felt a gust of cold air blowing at them from the bottom of their feet to the top of their heads. They felt that their bodies were icy.
This cold wind came from the hole.
Everyone looked at the massive crown of the tree in front of them. Countless branches were hanging down, all black, forming a stark contrast with the dark green color from before.
It was two utter extremes. One was black, and the other was green, shocking everyone.
Around the cave entrance, more than a dozen withered bones scattered around, intensely stimulating everyone's nerves.
Someone had found this place before them, but for some reason, they were all dead.
Diana looked at the pitch-black hole, held the dagger in her hand, and said to Charles, "Mate, are we going in? I have a strong feeling that it's hazardous there."
Dr. Byron showed a hint of mockery. "What bullsh*t feeling? I only know that there's the Coiling Serpent Pagoda here and the secret of immortality. I don't know anything else."
