Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 34
Advertisement
Meanwhile, in the other corner of the Amazon rainforest.
Titan had collapsed.
He stared blankly at the distant sky. Freedom and living no longer had any meaning.
The long wait had broken his heart.
Titan took out his satellite phone and roared at Thomas, the damned bastard.
Then he threw the satellite phone on the ground and stepped on it.
Titan searched in his backpack. He missed the smell of cigarettes.
Before he died, if he could taste it again, he would die without regrets.
But the backpack was empty. Other than some bread and water, there was not even tobacco.
"F*ck, f*ck, I want to go home."
Titan thought of his wife, his daughter, and his friends in the distance.
All of this was impossible because he saw his nightmare.
Alex came to the old tree, and Titan climbed down the tree trunk.
Different from before, Titan was now facing Alex without the slightest fear on his face.
He was not afraid of death anymore.
Alex looked at Titan. Both of Titan's eyes were dark and without any luster. He was severely sleep-deprived.
He had lost a lot of weight.
"Kill me. I have been leaving home all these years. I am either in the Amazon forest or on the African lands. I have been working for money and benefits. It was not until these few days that I suddenly realized what I had missed all these years."
Titan quietly narrated. Alex didn't expect him to realize it.
And then the man's eyes showed a drop of tear.
Alex didn't expect Titan to thank him.
That's right, it was thanks.
He was grateful that he had made him understand the meaning of life.
Alex had kept him alive to attract more superpowered people.
"You've made me understand family and the meaning of life. I miss my wife and my daughter. I've ignored them all these years, but it's too late to say anything now. If there's a next life, I won't be a poacher. I'll always be by their side."

Alex could see that Titan's words came from the bottom of his heart.
In his previous life, he had neglected his family because of his work too.
But these reasons were not enough to let him escape.
He swung his large pincers at Titan.
Titan felt much better after saying these words. He watched the pincers coming at him and closed his eyes slightly.
"Hiss!"
A considerable pain hit him. Titan opened his eyes and found out that Alex had broken his entire right arm.
And Alex was long gone.
Titan quickly used the cloth to stop the blood. He was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
These days, Titan had been living in fear.
What remained in his mind was not death, not worry, but the fear of not being able to see his family.
During these days, he understood the value of family.
It made him realize that some things in this world were more precious than money and power.
It was Alex who had taught him.
Titan also knew Alex's intention. If he cut off his right hand and Titan could not carry a gun, he would no longer be a poacher. His boss would not value him. Instead, because he had become disabled, the boss could kill him at any time because he knew too many secrets.
Titan breathed heavily. What he wanted to do most now was to see his daughter and accompany his family for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, thank you..."
At this moment, Alex's heart was complicated and conflicted.
He could see that Titan was genuinely enlightened and it was not a temporary disguise.
Moreover, what was the use of a disguise? Titan did not know that the scorpion was a human in his previous life.
Alex originally wanted to kill Titan directly, but he held back at the last moment.

He did not know the reason either.
Perhaps it was because he had a beautiful daughter in his previous life, but he had become a scorpion in this life, so he felt guilty.
Putting these things behind him, Alex had left the Amazon rainforest.
The Amazon River was tens of thousands of miles long, flowing from west to east to the Atlantic Ocean.
About seven days later, Alex arrived at the estuary in the Brazilian city of Beilun.
It was a large city, but it didn't look very prosperous.
The buildings in the city looked old, obviously with the early style.
At the estuary, cargo ships of all sizes were coming and going. It was a busy scene.
Suddenly, on a boat that was docked at the shore, a young man noticed Alex's tracks and exclaimed, "Dad, look at what that is."
The middle-aged man in his thirties looked at the sea in front of him. It was blue, and there was nothing there.
"Dad, it sank just now."
The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "What did you see? Why are you making such a fuss?"
The young man spread his hands and made a gesture. He said in surprise, "It was a huge scorpion. It seemed to be more than two meters long. It was lying on the surface of the sea just now."
"A huge scorpion?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "That's impossible. How can a scorpion be so big? You must have seen it wrongly. Maybe it was a crocodile. The size of a crocodile is about the same as what you guessed just now. It's normal to see wrongly."
The young man's voice was determined. "No, it was a scorpion. I'm sure. I also saw its tail. It was black and very sharp."
"Besides, aren't crocodiles freshwater animals? There are also crocodiles in the sea?" The young man tilted his head and asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and explained to him, "This is the entrance to the sea. The concentration of salt is not very high, so it's not rare to see crocodiles here. However, it's impossible to say that a two-meter-tall scorpion is swimming in the sea. Son, let me tell you. Firstly, a scorpion is not this big. The largest scorpion in the world is not more than 20 centimeters long. It lives in Africa, so it is impossible to see it here."
"Secondly, a scorpion's respiratory system is under its body. Scorpions can't float on the surface of the water like crocodiles. If they do not breathe for a long time, they will die. Do you think that they can swim in the sea? So you must have seen it wrongly."
The teenager frowned. He was very sure that what he saw was a giant scorpion, but he could not convince his father, so he had to give up.
Alex swam more than ten meters underwater.
He kept drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. The second time, he could go underwater, but he could only last for six hours at most, and then he needed an 18-hour cooldown down period.
As Alex grew more powerful, he could dive for up to 72 hours, while the cooldown was reduced to 30 minutes.
Alex ventured deeper into the Atlantic at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Ten minutes later, he encountered his first prey: an adult swordfish that was more than three meters long.
