Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 10
Advertisement
Alice believed Diana's intuition without a doubt. It was also because of it that she had avoided countless crises.
Charles knew about it, but he still refused.
Now that they had found the ruins, the opportunity to live forever was right in front of them.
He couldn't leave at this time.
After all, no one could refuse the temptation to live forever.
"How about this? It's up to you whether you want to leave or stay. Those who want to follow me in, stand on my side," Charles said first. "I choose to go in."
In the end, Johnson, medical specialist Jack, Charles, and the last mercenary chose to enter the ruins.
Charles glanced at Diana and then entered the dark cave entrance. His figure became further and further away until he disappeared.
Diana and the other two went back the way they came.
Alex had already arrived at the cave entrance and entered directly.
There was not much light inside. Both sides of the wall in the cave were made of green bricks, and it had a smooth texture.
He was swift. In the blink of an eye, he had passed through several cave entrances. At this time, the wall had changed. There were all kinds of murals carved on it.
There were offerings, sacrifices, chants, all kinds of strange pictures.
One of them was murals of a hydra sculpture, which deeply attracted his attention.
He saw hundreds of people from the primitive tribes wearing strange clothes, holding scepters, and dancing around the Hydra sculpture. Some were mumbling, and others were kneeling on the ground, not daring to say anything.
"Could this be the original Dragon Snake tribe?"
There was also the Hydra Condor. It looked like it was very nutritious. So if he could devour it, he would obtain a lot of evolution points.
However, Alex was only thinking about it.
After so many years, the Dragon Snake tribe did not exist anymore. Without the offerings, the spirit snake tribe was naturally dead.
As they went further and further, the green bricks on both sides disappeared. Alex could not see the end.
After walking for a few kilometers, Alex vaguely heard the sound of conversation.

A few people appeared in front of him. They were Johnson's team.
At this time, they came to a cliff. The bridge in the middle was broken, and there was rapid river water below. It was about ten meters wide.
The few of them looked at the rapid river water and did not stay for long. Finally, they stepped on the broken stones to cross the river.
Charles walked in the front, Johnson was in the middle, and the mercenaries were at the end. Perhaps they had experienced the giant python in the puddle before, so they walked quickly and reached the shore in the blink of an eye.
There was no danger in the middle.
However, when Alex came up, a vast object suddenly rushed out of the water.
It held a sharp front thorn, and it swept over Alex crazily. It was a pitch-black leech.
When Alex saw this, he opened his claws and flew into the air. His two pincers carried a strong wind and ruthlessly slashed at the center of the giant object. From the top-down, it was like cutting a watermelon, cutting it into two halves.
Half of the giant black object's body landed on the broken bridge. It struggled in pain, and yellow and white liquid flowed out.
Its suckers shrank tightly. It was as big as a person's head, but it was not completely dead yet.
Alex did not swallow it. It was not because of anything else but simply because it was disgusting.
He could not accept it.
Pushing half of the sponge into the river, Alex continued to follow. Finally, he came to the edge of a cliff and looked at Johnson who had a crazy look on his face.
Coiling Serpent Pagoda!
The Golden Pagoda below looked a little like the pyramids of ancient Egypt. It was entirely golden. At the top of the pagoda, there was a hydra coiled around it. It was spitting out nine snake tongues, forming a semicircle.
Below, emerald green vines filled the palace. A dozen pythons and countless small snakes were all crawling on the ground. They lowered their heads and hissed.
"The Coiling Serpent Pagoda! I'm saved! I found the pagoda! So many explorers haven't found the pagoda. But I found it."

Johnson laughed crazily. The muscles on his face were trembling, indicating how excited he was.
"Go and bring the pagoda up!" Johnson said to Charles.
Charles was a little hesitant. There were so many pythons. If they alarmed those snakes, they would die.
Moreover, it looked like they were doing a ceremony. If Charles took the pagoda rashly and interrupted it, the pythons would be alarmed. It was still unknown whether he could return safely.
It was very likely that the giant python's bloody mouth would devour him.
At this moment, Alex's thoughts were the exact opposite of theirs. Humans were afraid of these cold-blooded animals, but he was not scared. Instead, he was a little excited.
Because what he saw was not the giant python but countless evolution points.
These were the nutrients that helped him become more powerful.
At this moment, Johnson was already anxious. He said to Charles, "If you don't go down, don't even think about getting a penny. If I don't get the pagoda, it's a dead-end anyway."
"What I can't get, no other can get."
As soon as he said that, not only Charles but even Jack's face tensed up.
His gaze became cold. He had spent so much effort to come to this damn place, but in the end, he couldn't get anything. Who wouldn't be angry?
Charles had no choice but to agree.
The rope was set up high in the air and extended to the high platform of the pagoda. In the middle was a giant Buddha statue more than a hundred feet tall, and the pagoda was in the palm of the Buddha statue.
Charles came down along the rope. He first looked back at the giant python and found that it made no movement. Johnson also came down at this time. He looked at the pagoda with an infatuated gaze and muttered, "I finally got the pagoda. Haha, I succeeded."
He held the pagoda with both hands and took it down from the Buddha statue.
Immediately, the entire ruins shook.
Dozens of giant pythons raised their heads and stared at the people with fierce eyes. Then, they pounced on them crazily.
Charles was shocked and quickly raised his gun to shoot.
At this time, Jack seemed to have changed into a different person. He grabbed the giant machete on his back and slashed at the head of the giant python. Blood splattered, and the giant python roared.
He killed the giant python with one strike.
Alex, who was hiding in the sky, narrowed his eyes. This Jack was a master.
A hidden expert.
The machete in his hand was even more potent than a submachine gun. It was fierce, agile, and relentless.
He paced between the giant pythons. Every time he swung his machete, a strong python would fall. Finally, his fierce machete skills forced the snakes to retreat, and blood flowed like a river.
Ordinary people did not have such combat strength. So could it be that they were superpowered people?
In Alex's previous life, he knew that there were a type of people in this world. They were as strong as an ox, had flames in their hands, and were able to split rocks with their bare hands. They were influential people with natural abilities.
Now, the evolution points Alex obtained from devouring his prey could no longer keep up with the speed of evolution.
He could obtain 400 points from devouring an ordinary person. If it consumed this superpowered person, he would be able to evolve again.
However, he did not want to take the initiative to hunt humans. Therefore, if the other party took the initiative to attack, it could not be blamed.
At this time, the scene changed again.
Jack attacked in all directions. The pythons had no way to escape and were forced into a dead end. Johnson revealed a look of joy. He was about to climb up the rope when he heard a shocking roar.
Everyone was shocked.
The other snakes were suddenly still; it seemed they saw something terrifying. They lay on the ground obediently. This scene was stimulating everyone's eyes.
"F*ck!"
"This is..."
Charles sucked in a breath of cold air.
Alex looked at the giant creature, but his heart was excited. So it was still alive!

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Man of Earth
Magic is a terrifying force. Logic itself is subject to this energy, which is (logically speaking) impossible for us to comprehend. Every universe requires some version of magic to exist. That is, all but one. Our world functiouns based on a powerful and intricate net of laws that act independently from magical interference. The most notable of these is the human brain, which is capable of even more than its creator had thought possible. Naturally, this prompted the question: "How would a human fare in a world of magic?" Soon, there was a bet. Next, a human was selected. Finally, an odd young man with a strange black hat was introduced to his new world, and all restraints were removed.
