Reborn as a Giant Scorpion: Evolution by Consumption - Chapter 33

Was Alex fine?

That was too terrifying.

Oh my god!

What did Ham see? Barrett’s heavy armor-piercing sniper bullet was unable to kill this scorpion.

“Bang!” Ham heard a loud sound.

Ham saw that the armor-piercing bullet hit the scorpion’s pincers, only leaving a shallow hole the size of a fingernail. Then, the bullet lost its strength and fell to the ground.

As if it had hit Ham’s heart.

“Tiss!”

Ham’s scalp went numb. How hard were the scorpion’s pincers? Could it be more solid than a tank?

His brain could not imagine all of this. Yes, his mind had collapsed.

This mission was too terrifying.

Ham could not imagine that the creatures in the world had such a hard shell.

He had thought that the hunting mission this time would be easy. It was just a scorpion. No matter how powerful it was, it would not be able to block Barrett’s armor-piercing bullets.

Now, Ham was deeply regretful.

At this time, Alex’s pincers had already recovered.

He rushed to Ham again.

The two large pincers were like two heavy hammers that swung at Ham. Ham’s face had a dumbfounded expression. Its speed was too fast. There was no time to dodge. He could only cross his hands in front of his head.

Alex’s pincers hit Ham’s arms heavily.

“Crack!”

The considerable impact caused both of Ham’s arms to be severely deformed, exposing his bones.

He rolled on the ground for more than ten meters. He got up and looked at Alex in shock.

At the same time, Alex retreated quickly. The moment he moved back, a bullet flew over and hit the ground, making a small hole.

Then, the sound of the bullet piercing through the air came.

Because Barrett’s bullet was too fast, the reason why Alex was able to dodge in advance was because of his sharp intuition.

If you relied on the sound of the bullet, the bullet would have already entered your body by the time you heard the sound.

“You still keep shooting. I’ll find you first.”

Alex crawled into the depths of the forest on the other side.

Ham hurriedly spoke into his headset, “Peter, that scorpion is heading in your direction.”

On the other side of the wireless communication, a man wearing camouflage clothes looked at Alex in the 8x scope zoom and said, “I’ve already seen it. F*ck!”

As he said that, he threw Barrett sniper aside and fled into the depths of the forest. His speed was breakneck, and his body was agile.

Alex was chasing after him.

Peter did not dare to turn back and ran at full speed. This scorpion was too terrifying. Even bullets could not penetrate it. He did not know what kind of monster it was.

“Peter, this scorpion is too terrifying. Give up the mission. Run separately. I wish you good luck.”

Listening to Ham’s voice on the communicator, Peter said, “No problem, old friend. I wish you good luck too.”

Peter was like a monkey, jumping quickly in the jungle. He always looked for places with obstacles, such as thorns, vines, and branches. These obstacles could hinder the scorpion.

From afar, Peter saw that an ancient tree blocked the road ahead; a towering tree had fallen on the road.

“F*ck!” Peter cursed in his heart.

He could only jump over it.

Peter’s feet suddenly bent on the ground to gather strength, and his legs suddenly stepped forward.

At this moment, his eyes widened, and he looked in disbelief at a large scorpion tail attacking from between the forest trees.

It ruthlessly struck his body.

Peter grunted and got whipped by this fierce force.

He crashed into a stone in the distance, and his internal organs violently twitched. A giant scorpion came out from the other side of the ancient tree, raising its high tail.

Peter’s eyes were ashen.

Then, he saw a giant pincer clamped around his neck. He felt intense suffocation and then lost consciousness.

Alex did not waste time. After devouring Peter, he followed the scent to hunt Ham.

During this time, Ham fled frantically along the way.

He bandaged his arms and took out a satellite phone as he ran.

The call was to Thomas.

After the call connected, Ham said, “Buddy, I’m afraid I can’t complete your mission. This scorpion is too powerful. That scorpion is chasing me. If I can make it back alive, I’ll refund the commission to you.”

Ham, who had wanted to hang up, continued, “You don’t have to go to the night bar. It’s full of bronze-level superpowered people. They’re no match for that scorpion. You’d better go to New York City and take a look. The Superpowered People’s Association is there, and there are powerful superpowered people there. You should go there and take a look.”

After hanging up the phone, Thomas, who was far away in St. Paul, had a gloomy expression on his face. He smashed his phone on the ground.

“F*ck!”

No matter what, he had to get this scorpion.

Thomas had combined his genes with the Octopus’s genes. He was initially fine, but he had become more and more unstable in the past few days.

The scorpion might be his best medicine.

Thinking of this, he made a call. “Victor, I want to ask you for a favor. Ten million dollars.”

In the Amazon Rainforest, Ham could no longer run. He ran more than ten miles in one go.

Even the ‘Iron Man’ could not take it anymore.

He filled the pistol with bullets, lit a cigarette, and took two deep puffs.

“Peter, are you okay?”

A static noise came from the communicator.

“Peter?”

Ham called twice, but no one responded.

He already understood.

Peter was probably dead.

Next was his turn.

Sure enough, Ham’s eyes narrowed slightly. In his sight, a giant scorpion quickly crawled over.

His cold and fierce eyes stared at it blankly.

Was he going to die in the end?

“Even if I die, I won’t be beaten by you.”

Ham exhaled heavily. Looking at Alex, who was staring at him, he sucked on the cigarette in his mouth. Looking at the distant sky, he raised his pistol and aimed it at his temple.

“Bang!”

Alex swallowed his corpse and obtained 550 evolution points.

Alex now had a total of 6,210 evolution points in his body, and he was getting closer and closer to his goal of evolving for the fifth time.

Alex believed that he would be able to evolve for the fifth time soon.

He did not know what ability he would gain this time.

Alex was looking forward to it.

After this, he was ready to leave.

He had almost devoured all the prey in the Amazon, and now common prey could not provide much evolutionary energy.

Unless it was some super mutated creature… but Alex could not encounter these creatures easily.

It was too difficult.

Everything was over, and now only Titan was left.

The last time, Titan was already on the verge of collapse.

He did not know what had become of Titan now.

Alex was a little curious.
