Lizarius stood near the tortoise, bloodstains around his mouth, steam still rising from its body. With the defense of the Blue Scale Crocodile Gene, my scales are way stronger than before.
I didn't even get a scratch from its attacks, he thought. Lizarius turned towards the tortoise corpse, opened his mouth, and let out a deafening roar, unleashing a sound wave that shattered the remaining pieces of the tortoise's shell.
He stopped roaring and walked closer to the corpse. Opening his mouth, his yellow eyes glowing, he bit down, tearing off a piece of its flesh, and began eating.
After a while, Lizarius licked his mouth, having finished eating both tortoises.
The system announced, "Gain 600 Evolution Points, 8 Earth Tortoise Genes."
Lizarius slowly turned invisible, thinking, I can't keep hunting Earth Tortoises. It's too hard to find them. It took so long just to find two. He swung his wings, quickly taking flight. Since I've already gotten its genes, I should see where the watercourse leads, he continued his thought.
A while later, Lizarius, still invisible, flew above the watercourse. He suddenly stopped and hovered, looking down.
He saw three Blue Scale Crocodiles. Two were lying down beside the water, and one was in the water.
Lizarius, still hovering invisibly, thought, Three Blue Scale Crocodiles. They are just as big as the ones I had killed. He asked the system, "What are their ranks?"
The system replied, "Blue Scale Crocodile, mainly use physical attacks, has strong defense. 1 Rank 5 mid-stage, 2 Rank 4 late-stage."
Lizarius, still invisible in the air, thought, A mid-stage Rank 5. I won't be able to kill it with my current strength. I have to be at least at the mid or late Rank 4.
