After not being able to find the rabbit…
Ye Chen started to change his target, hunting for other small animals that preferred speed.
He still planned to increase his speed first.
Once he had a powerful self-protection ability, he would be able to develop in all aspects.
Otherwise, he would probably be killed by other more powerful predators before he could even get a full score for ‘moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic’.
After eating another small wild dog…
Ye Chen returned to the territory of the forest lizard and prepared to take a good rest.
During this period of time, he had been busy hunting and had not had much rest.
Lying in a crack in a rock without a ‘companion’.
Ye Chen subconsciously changed the color of his skin to almost the same color as a rock.
Although the lizard would only hunt its companion once in a while when it was extremely thirsty, he still did not dare to casually lie down on the ground.
Otherwise, if a passing ‘big brother lizard’ coveted his body, why would he rest?
However, he did not expect that it was because of his cautiousness that he was unlucky.
…
At the edge of the forest lizard’s habitat.
A human hunting group was slowly approaching.
Thirty to forty ordinary warriors were scattered around looking for and guarding.
At the front of the group, two well-equipped warriors surrounded a middle-aged man with a big belly.
One of the warriors bowed and reported, “Sir, the forest lizard’s territory is right in front of us. We usually catch it as food, but we didn’t find any mutated species.”
The fat middle-aged man nodded slightly.
He picked up a telescope and observed while saying, “Alright then. Catch some for dinner, and we’ll continue on our way.”
“My master only collects mutated beasts. Ordinary beasts are not in his scopes…”
At this moment, he suddenly let out a soft, “Eh?”
Adjusting the telescope in his hand, he looked straight at a rock in the lizard’s territory.
“There, on the rock in the middle of the three big trees, there is a mutated lizard!”
The two warriors beside him quickly took out their binoculars and followed the directions.
In the gap between the two rocks, a gray-white lizard that was the same color as the rocks around it was lazily basking in the sun.
They knew that lizards could only slightly change the color of their bodies.
A completely mutated lizard like this was definitely a beast among lizards!
Since they had found something…
Besides the middle-aged man, the well-equipped warriors did not waste any more time. They quickly moved towards that mutated lizard.
The middle-aged man frowned and asked the other warrior beside him, “You are not going?”
That warrior shook his head.
“Sir, John is one of the top bronze rank warriors. If he can not catch him, then even if I am included, it would be useless.”
“Alright then…”
…
Ye Chen was basking in the sun comfortably.
Suddenly, he was hit by a bright light.
He subconsciously reached out his little claws to block his eyes, looking into the distance curiously.
It was not a big deal if he did not look, but this one look made him jump.
He saw a human warrior in bright white armor running towards him from the dense forest.
The light just now was the reflection of the sunlight from his armor.
With just one glance, Ye Chen could tell that he was definitely coming for him!
Without any time to think, Ye Chen quickly turned around and ran towards the depths of the territory where his companions were gathered.
Ye Chen had already thought of this trick to lure the enemy away.
He had to run back to the territory to rest, because he knew that if other predators targeted him, then he would have to run into the group of lizards.
Then he would run into the group of lizards and let the other lizards take the blame for him, while he would run away at a faster speed than his companions.
There was a good saying.
If you met a grizzly bear in the forest, you did not have to run very fast. You only had to run faster than the people around you!
This saying was very suitable for Ye Chen at this moment.
He was just a human being. Why would he target him?
It must be because he wanted his body!
With so many fat lizard big shots around him, he would not have to catch him to eat, right?
He passed another slippery lizard big shot.
Ye Chen looked back proudly.
However, something that shocked him happened.
A light flashed on that warrior’s body, and he kicked a one-meter-long lizard away.
Then, without even looking at the ‘big lizard’ that he had knocked out, he continued to chase after Ye Chen!
Ye Chen’s heart suddenly sank.
He immediately understood that this warrior might not be after his body, but his skin!
After thinking it through…
The four of them started to crawl at a high speed. As they ran into the distance, their skin gradually turned back into that of an ordinary lizard.
However, when he felt the increasingly greedy gazes behind him…
He knew that the other party had decided to capture him today…
Even so, Ye Chen was not too afraid.
Because he discovered that the other party’s speed was not much different from his own.
He would not be able to catch up with him in a short while.
Thus, Ye Chen continuously discerned directions while running at a high speed. He ran into the distant dense forest that he had never set foot in before.
As he went deeper into the forest…
His subconscious instinct kept sending him signals to run away.
Ye Chen knew that this place was extremely dangerous for the forest lizards.
Therefore, his instinct kept telling him not to get close.
However…
Right now, the human warrior behind him was getting closer and closer to him.
If he turned around now, it would definitely be too late.
He could only use all of his senses to the maximum.
He kept trying to figure out the unknown risks around him.
Soon, he could feel a pair of greedy eyes looking at him not far from his right.
At the same time, the sound of air being torn apart came from behind him.
Ye Chen made up his mind and increased his speed once again. After dodging the sword thrown by the warrior behind him, he rushed in front of that pair of eyes.
Right then, in front of Ye Chen, there was a colorful black tiger!
And on both sides of this tiger, there was a pair of sharp horns.
Ye Chen knew that this should be the demonic beast in this world.
But now was obviously not the time to observe it carefully.
That demonic beast had already noticed the lizard Ye Chen, as well as the warrior not far behind him.
To it, this little lizard in front of it was just a nice meal.
That human warrior was its natural enemy!
Therefore, when Ye Chen ran past that tiger, he did not receive any attacks.
That tiger let out a sky-shaking roar and jumped towards the warrior who had just picked up his weapon!
Ye Chen did not dare to observe the battle at such a close distance.
After all, no matter who won in the end, its outcome would not be any better.
Therefore, Ye Chen rushed into the depths of the forest without looking back.
After more than ten minutes, he finally laid down on the trunk of a big tree. As he changed his skin, the Qi in his body also gradually became weaker..
