Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 15
Advertisement
In the rapid river below, there was a small leopard.
Its four short legs were waving desperately and fear filled its tiny eyes.
Alex jumped down the mountain, and his sharp claws kicked the mountain wall. Like an arrow shot at full strength, he shot out quickly and went down along the river.
His tail pierced through the water and traveled a hundred meters. He was way faster than before he evolved.
The little leopard was only a few weeks old. There was a hint of tenderness on its face.
It waved its four short legs desperately. It wanted to swim to the other side of the river in the rapid river, but it obviously could not. Every time the water thrashed it and made it dizzy.
"Gulp!"
The little leopard was knocked over by a wave and sank into the water.
However, it soon floated up again. It waved its four legs even more vigorously. Its tiny eyes were wet. It was unknown whether it was the river or the rain.
"Sigh, poor little thing."
Alex sighed in his heart and sped up to swim towards the leopard.
At this moment, his body was already more than two meters long. In the eyes of the little leopard, he was considered a colossus.
The little leopard saw that Alex was approaching and was so scared that it waved its four short legs even more desperately.
Alex held back his laughter in his heart. He stretched out a giant pincer and gently clamped one of its legs, lifting it out of the water.
Then, with a flick of his tail, his body shot toward the shore like an arrow that had left the bow.
When he reached the shore, Alex jumped down and landed on the edge of a jungle.
He put the little leopard down, but it was too afraid to raise its little head and pretend to scare Alex.
Alex felt like laughing, and the giant pincers tapped on its head, scaring the little guy into growling.

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the grass not far away, and an adult brown leopard walked out.
The leopard is the giant cat in the Amazon forest.
If placed in the world rankings, the leopard is ranked third.
The top two are naturally the tiger and the lion.
The adult leopard generally weighs 50-100 kilograms and is the top predator in the Amazon forest; of course, it does not include some strange creatures.
Leopards are fierce and tenacious. They even dare to go underwater to hunt caiman crocodiles.
When food is scarce, leopards will also attack giant pythons at the top of the food chain.
But no matter how brave and fierce an animal was, it would feel a trace of fear from the bottom of its heart when facing Alex. That was the natural deterrence of high-level creatures to earth-rank creatures.
The adult leopard raised its spine high and stared at Alex, letting out a low roar.
The little leopard heard the roar and immediately ran towards it.
When the little leopard left, the adult leopard sniffed twice, opened its mouth, and bit the back of the little leopard's neck, slowly retreating.
Alex knew that this was the mother of the little leopard, so he did not stop it.
However, when the adult leopard left, another leopard poked its head out of the grass and looked at Alex curiously.
After the family of three left, Alex returned to the water.
As for why he didn't devour the leopard? On one hand, he liked cats. On the other hand, even if he ate the leopard, he wouldn't get many evolution points. This kind of ordinary creature was no longer of much use.
Ever since he devoured Jack, Alex had a crazy idea: devour superpowered people.
This way, he could get more evolution points and move towards the direction of the fifth evolution.
From his transmigration until now, he had experienced a total of four evolutions.

The first evolution consumed 1 evolution energy.
The second evolution consumed 10 evolution energy.
The third evolution consumed 100 evolution energy points.
The fourth evolution consumed 1000 evolution energy points.
Currently, he had 1,520 evolution points in his body. He was still 8,480 evolution energy points away from 10,000 evolution points for the fifth evolution.
If he relied solely on devouring creatures to obtain energy, he would need to devour more than half of the animals in the Amazon rainforest to gather enough evolution energy for the fifth evolution.
After all, after devouring once, the subsequent evolution points would correspondingly weaken. The current ordinary creatures could no longer keep up with the speed of his evolution. What he needed was mutated extraordinary creatures, just like the toad and the Hydra King from before.
However, it was not an easy thing to find mutated creatures in the Amazon forest.
If there were a few more superpowered people like Jack here, it would not be challenging to gather enough evolution points for the fifth evolution.
However, there were very few superpowered people. They were honorable existences no matter where they were, and they didn't lack money. They wouldn't want to come to this godforsaken place, instead of enjoying life with their wealth.
Alex considered Jack's strength to be at the bottom of the superpowered people. After going berserk, his strength was only slightly more significant. Compared to other superpowered people, he was like an ordinary person with great power.
A natural superpowered person was like a magician in the magic world. They had magical abilities.
They could summon lightning, fire, and use some special abilities. They could control people's minds and turn them into puppets for themselves.
These were all things that Alex had unintentionally come into contact with in his previous life.
...
In a mysterious valley, there were more than ten tents. The people inside were busy, and people were patrolling around them.
They wore green military uniforms and wireless communication devices. Their eyes scanned the surroundings like a radar.
There were cages of all sizes in one of the tents, which held all the animals they had hunted.
The little leopard that Alex had saved was among them, pawing the cage helplessly.
"Kurt, you did a good job. You caught so many creatures, and these are all worth lots of money."
Titan praised.
He was Kurt's Boss. He had explosive muscles and was more than two meters tall. He was like a moving tank. People gave him the nickname 'Titan'.
"Boss, I have another piece of good news to tell you," Kurt said with a smile.
"Oh, what news?" Titan asked casually.
When Kurt mentioned that he had met two beautiful women, Titan's eyes widened. There were women in this godforsaken place?
He had been holding it in for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the women of the primitive tribes were too ugly, he would have directly snatched them away.
Now, when he heard that there were two beautiful women, his restless heart began to surge again.
"Boss, I have already found their whereabouts. They are currently in the Nata tribe. We can find an opportunity and then... after Boss you have finished enjoying himself, let us have fun too!"
"Haha! Of course. Kurt, you have made a great contribution this time. When we hunt down the last big guy this time, I will recommend you to our Boss when we return."
"Thank you, Boss!"
Hearing Titan would recommend him to the Boss, he was instantly overjoyed.
He knew that the Boss behind him had a powerful background. He was in charge of researching biological genes and even monopolized the black market in South America. His power was not ordinary.
