Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 40
Advertisement
After a long time, the mercenary finally recovered from his shock. He looked at the mysterious tentacle left on the deck, and he was curious.
What exactly did this tentacle look like? The mercenary walked over.
However, he thought too simply.
Although this tentacle had left the octopus monster's body, it still had a strong vitality. When the mercenary walked closer, the thick tentacle suddenly raised its head. Its long and sharp claws locked onto his head and suddenly contracted.
The sharp claws stabbed into his head like a watermelon that exploded.
All the passengers on the cruise ship were killed. No one survived.
At the same time, the giant octopus monster was below the surface of the sea. It waved its seven giant tentacles crazily, creating huge waves on the surface of the sea.
The defense of the octopus monster was cautious. However, Alex could always find a loophole in its security, attack its body, and inject poison into its body.
After Alex stabbed the octopus monster for the third time, the colossal octopus monster, highly poisonous, could no longer hold on and began to show its weakness.
However, its speed was still not slow. It quickly escaped, swimming towards the depths of the ocean.
Alex continued to work hard, continuously attacking the octopus monster's body. As time passed, the poison worked in its body, and its speed slowly decreased.
Alex found an opportunity and stabbed the black tail into its eyes.
With a shrill scream, the octopus monster rolled violently, and its seven tentacles stopped moving. It floated on the surface of the sea and lost its ability to move.
Alex pounced on it and tore off a piece of its flesh. It only struggled slightly, and its movements were weak.
For the next few hours, Alex devoured the mutated Octopus Monster.

As it devoured, the energy in Alex's body gradually increased, from the previous 6324, 6330, 6336, 6410, 6430, and so on.
When Alex devoured the mutated giant octopus monster, the energy in his body had already exceeded 8000 points, reaching 8100 points.
The evolved energy in the Octopus Monster's body was quite surprising. Even its tentacles contained rich developed energy. Alex returned to the cruise ship and prepared to devour the remaining octopus tentacles.
The vitality of this giant tentacle was highly tenacious. When Alex devoured, it still wanted to attack Alex, but Alex immediately finished it.
After devouring this giant tentacle, Alex obtained another 180 points of evolved energy.
It did not want to waste any of the mercenaries' corpses. Other than Mos and Allen, the rest of the mercenaries were all devoured by the octopus monster. Kelly was also hit by the octopus monster and exploded into pieces.
After devouring the tentacle, Alex's evolution energy reached 8,500 points. He was still 1,500 points away from the fifth evolution. It was very close.
"If I can devour another octopus like this, the evolved energy in my body will break through to 10,000 points. However, this mutated octopus that can easily devour great white sharks is at the top of the food chain in the ocean. It is already lucky to have encountered one. If I want to devour another one, I'm afraid I'll have to have much more luck."
Of course, to be able to devour such a mutated creature, Alex was already satisfied.
He was looking forward to what kind of new ability he would obtain after the fifth evolution.
...
When the morning sun rose along the horizon, Alex was sailing on the sea surface.
His speed was so fast that even the giant ship moving at full speed was left far behind. With his current rate, if he used his full speed, he could even catch up to the speed champion of the ocean, the sailfish.

The speed of the sailfish could reach 109.1 kilometers per hour, and it could swim over 91.4 meters in three seconds. Alex's speed was comparable to that of the sailfish, and he had indeed become the overlord of the ocean.
Whether its strength or speed, there were not many creatures in the ocean that could threaten Alex. Moreover, Alex had the fatal venom and could instantly activate the 360-volt voltage protection.
He was genuinely omnipotent.
When Alex was parading in the Atlantic Ocean, a human ship suddenly appeared in front of it. The massive poster on the sail deeply attracted him.
It was a mysterious island. Around the island was an ancient forest. A huge Belodon was eating the leaves on the tree. On the nearby grass, there were other dinosaurs around, basking in the sun.
Unknown dinosaurs were flapping their vast wings in the sky. Their heads were long and thin. They look like a bat that was magnified hundreds of times.
At the bottom of the poster, there were a few lines of small words.
"Welcome to the Dinosaur Paradise.".
Location: Ramsingt Island. Booking Phone: 001-356563
"If there is a dinosaur paradise in this world, it would be a blessing from Heaven for me." Alex suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He would not have to worry about evolutionary energy for a short time.
The only problem now was that he did not know where Ramsingt Island was.
The poster said that the Dinosaur Paradise was on Ramsingt Island, but there were more than ten million islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Who knew which one?
At that moment, Alex heard a conversation between a middle-aged man and a teenager on the ship.
"Dad, how much longer does it take?" The teenager raised his head and asked.
The middle-aged man replied, "Almost, about an hour more."
"Can we see dinosaurs?" Kenny asked expectantly.
"Yes, baby, that's for sure. Don't you like dinosaurs the most? This time, you'll see a lot of dinosaurs, just like on TV. Don't be scared to tears," the middle-aged man said.
Hearing his father's words, Kenny showed an excited look and said excitedly, "No, I'm going to climb on their backs. I heard that they're all enormous. Some of them are four to five meters long. I'll be taller than you if I ride on them."
Little Kenny jumped happily. His eyes flashed, and his face was full of yearning.
But Kenny obviously couldn't forget the scorpion. He had told his father many times, but unfortunately, his father didn't believe it at all.
When Alex heard the conversation between the father and son, he suddenly had an idea. "Since this ship is going to Ramxingt Island, why don't I follow this ship and find it?"

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion?
