He could actually perfectly fuse with the genes of rabbits?
Ye Chen, who had returned to the tree, finally confirmed this fact.
In his lizard memories, creatures like him did not have the ability to devour and evolve.
In just three to five years of a lizard’s life, most lizards would experience all kinds of dangers, be it being swallowed by pythons or being hunted by goshawks.
In any case, the few lizards that were able to ‘die’ only had to survive and reproduce.
Those that could truly become powerful demonic beasts were something that Ye Chen had never seen before in his lizard memories.
Then, the reason why he was able to perfectly fuse the genes of rabbits and other lizards…
Should be because of the experiments he had done in the lab!
After eating his fill, Ye Chen calmed down for the first time and started to sense his body condition.
Soon, he realized that he did not only have the genes of the rabbit and the lizard in his body.
There was actually a part of the genes of the water bear and the shark that he had fused when he was still a human!
Ye Chen’s lizard’s eyes became brighter and brighter.
His whole body shook slightly, then he stopped moving as if he had lost his life.
Soon, the originally wet green skin started to dry up.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen’s body turned from a handsome lizard to a dried lizard!
A moment later, his body started to fill up again.
Finally, he returned to his original ‘handsome’ form.
Ye Chen excitedly held his little claws.
“It seems like even if I turn into a lizard, I will still be the most special one!”
With excitement in his heart, Ye Chen laid down on the top of the tree again and started to look around.
After a few hours of hard work, he realized that he was starving again.
Soon, he saw a rabbit sticking its head out of the hole under a tree not too far away, sniffing around and observing the surroundings.
Ye Chen immediately adjusted his body.
His beautiful light green skin turned into the dark green color of the leaves.
Then, he slowly climbed up the tree along the top of the tree.
By the time he reached the tree where the rabbit hole was, the rabbit had already jumped out and started to eat grass in the distance.
Ye Chen waited patiently for a while.
When the full rabbit jumped back to its nest, it jumped down from the short tree trunk.
The sharp teeth in its mouth had already bitten the neck of the rabbit before it could react.
At the same time, it used its skinny body to firmly suppress the rabbit that was jumping around.
Feeling the blood flowing into his mouth, Ye Chen gradually became intoxicated with the thrill of hunting.
Soon, the energetic rabbit had lost too much blood and gradually stopped moving, leaving only its occasionally twitching hind legs.
Ye Chen, who was extremely tired, could not care less anymore.
Directly lying on the rabbit’s body, he started to eat in large mouthfuls.
While eating, Ye Chen was still summarizing the hunting experience.
“My bite power is too low. Even the rabbit can’t kill me in one stroke. I can only exhaust it to death by consuming its blood.”
“Moreover, my hunting experience is still not enough. The time I just dragged out was too long.”
“If there were other predators passing by just now, then not only would I have been working for free, I might even have to pay for the two pieces of meat.”
After eating the rabbit, Ye Chen could feel its genes breaking down and fusing in his stomach again.
Only then did Ye Chen slowly crawl toward the ‘home’ in his memory.
An hour later, more and more of his kind were around Ye Chen.
Some were hunting, some were sleeping, and there were two pairs of shameless ones doing something inappropriate in the bushes.
Ye Chen started to look around with the mentality of learning.
Soon, he found his target!
It was a green-skinned lizard that was obviously bigger than him.
He did not know whether he should call it ‘dad’ or ‘uncle’.
Anyway, Ye Chen saw that it was not interested in hunting him, so he slowly moved closer to it.
In the next few days, he followed the lizard and learned its hunting and survival skills.
When he was almost done, Ye Chen would kill it with a sneak attack. After devouring it, he would go and find another stronger lizard.
Ye Chen did not feel any burden about devouring other lizards.
Because even if his body was a lizard, he still firmly believed that he was a human being!
Moreover, natural selection was the survival of the fittest. No matter which world it was in, it was the same.
The opponent would be devoured by him and turned into a part of him to increase his power. It was better than being eaten by other things, turning into a pile of poop, and being pulled out by others.
Just like that, a month passed by quickly.
Ye Chen had also completely mastered the lizard’s survival skills.
Then, he once again turned his attention to the rabbit, who was even weaker than him!
Because he realized that what he needed the most right now was his life-saving skills.
Eating the rabbit to increase his hind limb genes and increase his speed was his best option right now.
Soon, Ye Chen found a rabbit that was jumping around looking for grass to eat.
He quickly crawled into the grass and made some changes to his body until it merged with the surrounding grass.
While the rabbit was eating grass…
He suddenly jumped out and bit down on the rabbit’s neck.
However, it was different from the last time.
This time, Ye Chen used the momentum of his body to bite the rabbit and flip it over.
The rabbit was terrified and tried to run away from Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen kept dragging it according to its body position.
Until the rabbit lost all of its strength, its strong hind legs did not even touch the ground.
Only then did Ye Chen drag the rabbit back into the grass with satisfaction.
He started to eat the rabbit in big mouthfuls.
Just like that, for the next half a month, Ye Chen kept his eyes on the rabbit to hunt for food.
It was not until he had eaten almost a hundred rabbits and could no longer find any rabbits nearby that he finally stopped.
He started to test the changes he had made in the past half a month.
First was his body, which had grown from the initial 15 centimeters to 20 centimeters.
With his newly grown tail, his overall length was around 35 centimeters.
His strength did not increase much, only the normal growth level of his body.
However, his limbs had become much thicker, and his speed was also faster than the other forest lizards by about one-fifth!
Although his speed was only one-fifth faster, it was enough to increase his chances of survival by a large margin compared to other forest lizards!
At the same time, he discovered that the water bear and shark genes were in his body.
Were slowly growing along with his own growth.
Moreover, the fusion with his body was getting closer and closer.
Previously, it would take him about half an hour to drain the water from his body.
Now, in fifteen minutes, he would be able to turn into a ‘lizard trunk’.
Although this kind of ability was not useful yet.
But when he thought about the water bear insect’s ‘stealth’ ability, Ye Chen became more and more excited about the genes in his body..
