Feeling his godly speed, Gray couldn’t help but be stunned.
“This speed…”
With a face full of astonishment, Gray realized that his speed could actually be even faster.
Yes, this was far from Gray’s limit.
All the muscles in his body tensed up, and his entire body rose and fell. Amidst this rapid rise and fall, Gray’s speed was even more astonishing.
In just a short 30 seconds, he had run three kilometers.
“Strength and speed, compared to a Level 6 body, they have increased tremendously.”
Gray signed as he did not have a comparison object. He was unable to judge how powerful he was now.
However, there was one thing that he was certain of. If the current him had rushed into the mutated rat nest underground a few days ago, definitely they would have been easily exterminated. He would not have ended up like before.
Gray’s lips curled up. He was also looking for other parts that had mutated.
However, at this moment, he, who was looking at the lake water, suddenly discovered that there were two small bumps on his head.
“What are these?”
Filled with confusion, Gray used his left claw to gently touch the two small bumps on his head.
[ Fledgling Dragon’s Horn: bloodline recovery of 10%, body Shape has received a certain enhancement and change… When bloodline recovery reaches 50% , wings will grow on your back… ]
The screen that suddenly popped up also answered Gray’s doubts.
“This protruding small bumps are actually horns. Furthermore they are fledgling dragon’s horns. As expected, I’m heading towards the direction of the mythical creature — the evolution of the giant dragon.”
Gray heaved a long sigh. He wasn’t surprised. After all, he had already guessed it. Thus at this moment, he was exceptionally calm,
The earth would never belong to him. Only the vast and boundless sky would be where he truly belong.
Thinking of this, Gray began to feel a little smug.
Forget it, I had not even learned how to climb, and yet I had wanted to learn to fly?
Let’s take each step slow and steady.
…
It was also time to leave. Taking a deep look at the hole not far away, Gray also didn’t feel like staying any longer. He lifted his feet and ran towards the giant turtle and Claire in the distance.
However, just as Gray was running wildly…
“Rumble, rumble…”
One rumble after another, it was as if the entire ground was shaking. There was an indescribable sense of horror.
There was no other reason. Gray’s body was too heavy. It was so heavy that even Mother Earth could not bear it.
And with such a body, if he were to charge forward, he was afraid that…
Just thinking about it gave Gray a vague scene in his mind.
“If that’s really the case, it wouldn’t be ordinarily terrifying.”
With a faint smile in his heart, the speed that he had just slowed down increased once again. And he began to gallop across the land.
Ten minutes later, under the puzzled gazes of Claire and the giant turtle, Gray, who had grown several times in size, returned safely.
“Woo woo…”
The giant turtle seemed to be asking Gray some questions as it let out a low growl.
Hearing the child-like question, Gray did not respond. He just threw his head to the side,
“Let’s go. Let’s begin the real hunt.”
As he finished speaking, Gray led Claire and the giant turtle towards the nearby Songba Island.
As they neared the edge of the island, Gray looked back unwillingly.
He secretly swore that his departure this time was only temporary. When he returned in the future, he would definitely have broken out of his cocoon and had turned into a dragon.
Now, he needed to give Komodo Island enough buffer time to develop for a while. He also needed to give time to the Komodo dragon race, which had no natural enemies, to reproduce and grow.
With a top predator like him on the island, the living space of the entire Komodo Island would be rapidly compressed. Therefore, his departure now was inevitable and also temporary. Everything that he was doing now was to lay the groundwork for his glorious return in the future.
And now, Gray set his eyes on the nearby Songba Island and the boundless sea.
“Let’s go. There’s nothing to see here. It’s not that we won’t be coming back.”
Looking at the giant turtle that was still in a daze, Gray nudged him with his body, and then walked toward Songba Island without looking back.
…
Time quietly slipped away. A few days later, on Songba Island.
“Roar!”
An earth-shattering roar suddenly spread across the island.
The sound reverberated across the entire island. In an instant, the entire island was completely silent. It was terrifyingly quiet.
They all knew one thing. It was the arrival of a top predator, or an unimaginable existence.
Just hearing the sound, countless mutated beasts felt suffocated. Even their bodies began to tremble.
“What is this?” At this moment, the hearts of countless mutated beasts were filled with the same doubts.
On the other side, Gray, who did not know anything about this, felt unusually excited. The corners of his mouth curled up happily, with an indescribable excitement.
These past few days of sailing on the sea, they had been eating fish that tasted so bland. Moreover, this was indeed Songba Island. Looking at the coastline, just the area alone was several times larger than Komodo Island.
And the number of mutated beasts on the island was hundreds of times more than that on Komodo Island.
Of course, Gray knew very well that this was the reason why Songba Island did not suffer the baptism of nuclear weapons. The mutated beasts that could survive on Komodo Island were basically Level 2 and above, and there was actually Level 1 mutated hare on Songba Island.
However, this was not that important.
What was important was that he could start hunting without any scruples.
“Roar.”
Amidst the soft growl, Gray seemed to be getting more and more excited.
However, at this moment, as if he had thought of something important, Gray turned his head and instructed Claire and the giant turtle.
“Let’s hunt separately. We’ll gather here in a week’s time. Hopefully, I’ll be able to see the two of you alive then.”
Gray knew very well that if he allowed this human and beast to rely on him too much, the distance between the three of them would increase as he walked further. At that time, the two following him would very likely die without any reason. Thus, he definitely could not be soft-hearted towards them at this moment.
As he spoke, Gray suddenly sped up and ran towards the forest deep within Songba Island.
He could smell the scent of a high-level mutated beast. In the noses of other mutated beasts, it was a life-threatening charm. In his case, it was a soul-stirring poison that would seduce him at all times.
…
At this moment, what Gray didn’t know was that the human world outside had also undergone a huge change..
