lizard lord

Chapter 4 Running really fast
The powerful forelimbs and wide front paws give him a good digging ability. With enough patience, it is not a problem to dig deep enough trap holes.

Of course, his minions are not as nimble as human fingers. It took a lot of effort to bury the spikes and cover the potholes with branches, but fortunately, the result was worth it.

A small slope was dug out from the side of the hole. Tang Zhao stepped on the soil slope, stretched his neck and bit the roe deer's hind leg, and dragged it in front of him with the strength of his limbs and neck.

Pressing the deer's body with its front paws, Tang Zhao's sharp teeth pierced the trachea of ​​the prey's throat. After a while, it stopped struggling and lost its vitality.

He dug out the dagger from the soil and stuffed it into the mouth of the prey. Tang Zhao dragged the prey away quickly.

There's a smell of wolves around here, and it's too risky to eat where it is.

As usual, he dragged his prey up the tree, and after confirming that he didn't see any threats around him, Tang Zhao just put his head into the prey's body cavity, found the blood core he needed and swallowed it.

Afterwards, he didn't waste the remaining roe deer, he opened his mouth to feast on it, and swallowed pieces of flesh and blood with his head raised.

Lizards can't swallow things directly like humans, so he has to tilt his head up to let the flesh and blood slide into his stomach. It's not troublesome, but it feels strange.

[The meat is still [-] kilograms short, and the blood core is still [-] pieces short. If you continue to catch it like this, it will take four or five days at the latest. 】

He had caught prey once before with a trap, and counting the wild boar, he had already eaten three blood cores, half of the goal achieved.

[Evolve again, consider migrating or fighting against the monsters here, the strength should be similar. 】

While thinking about future plans, a deep growl came into his ears.

Tang Zhao was startled, and quickly raised his head to look under the tree - there were two huge dark gray wolves wandering around, staring at him fiercely.

[Bloody smell?Or the scouts of the large army?No matter which one is not a good thing, hurry up and withdraw. 】

Tang Zhao immediately looked around, looking for a feasible escape plan.

Even if these wolves are not much smaller than him, he is still [-] to [-]% sure that he can be one with two, but the problem is that wolves live in packs, so there must be more than one or two.

[The weight is too heavy to crawl along the branches, the surrounding stream is too shallow, it is unrealistic to swim, just run away, I am no match for a pack of wolves in terms of endurance, that is to say, I can only fight. 】

After thinking it through in his mind, Tang Zhao didn't have time to hesitate. With his claws, he followed the slightly inclined tree trunk and jumped to the ground in a few steps.

Facing the two wolves, he propped himself up on his hind legs to make himself look as tall as possible, hoping to make them retreat.

But the two wolves didn't care about this deterrence, and directly bit Tang Zhao's relatively weak belly.

Tang Zhao immediately lowered his body to force the two wolves back, and then bared his fangs, biting one of them.

Seeing that the surprise attack was unsuccessful, the two wolves turned around slightly to avoid Tang Zhao's bite, and then immediately dispersed, circling Tang Zhao one after the other, looking for openings.

Facing Tang Zhao's broad and hard nails, it was difficult for them to talk for a while.

But correspondingly, it is not easy for Tang Zhao to bite them. Their bodies are flexible and they have rich fighting experience, so it will definitely not work hard.

It would be unfavorable to Tang Zhao if the two parties continued to deal with each other like this, so he simply changed his mind and pretended to focus most of his attention on attacking the wolf in front of him, but because of this, he ignored the protection behind him.

After all, the beast is a beast, and I have never met an opponent who would play such a trick, so I fell for it directly.

Taking advantage of Tang Zhao's confrontation with the wolf in front of him, he jumped onto Tang Zhao's back, opened his mouth wide and bit Tang Zhao's neck from the blind spot of his vision.

If he was really bitten, even with the protection of the scales, Tang Zhao would not feel too good.

But Tang Zhao had already prepared for this. His neck was far more flexible than the wolf imagined. He turned slightly to make the wolf's feet unbalanced. Tang Zhao turned his head and opened his mouth to bite the wolf's jaw.

With all his strength, he directly pulled the wild wolf off his body.

At this time, the wild wolf kicked desperately to kick Tang Zhao away, but this had little effect on animals that were much bigger than it.

Pressing the wolf's head with his front paws, Tang Zhao ignored the other wolf that was rushing towards him, and directly bit the wolf's throat.

The wild wolf whimpered immediately, and the strength in its legs weakened a bit.

Let go, and use his right paw to push away the inevitable wolf. Tang Zhao was just about to continue killing the other wolf that was biting his left paw, so it was convenient to let go, and take a few steps back quickly to distance himself.

With a bit of human annoyance in its eyes, it growled twice at Tang Zhao, then turned around directly, chose to run away, and ran a distance of five or six meters in the blink of an eye.

[Too fast, unable to catch up.Take this opportunity to run straight away. 】

He hurriedly ran to the dying wolf, killed him again with a sharp bite, then quickly took out the blood core from the opponent's body cavity and swallowed it, and finally left the scene quickly stepping on the stream.

Regarding the question of where to go, frankly speaking, Tang Zhao has no idea, he doesn't know what kind of revenge this move will provoke the wolves.

After thinking about it, he still decided not to go out, but to go deeper into the forest.

Because it is too far to run directly out of the forest, and the surrounding area is the territory of those wolves, so there is no benefit.

The interior is also very dangerous, but spiders are creatures that weave webs to hunt after all, and their mobility is not as strong as that of wolves, so they can run if they want to.

With an idea in mind, Tang Zhao put it into action and headed into the forest.

The interior of the forest he saw this time was much better than before. Although the trees still looked a little distorted and there were some spider webs hanging on them, the spider webs were not connected into a large piece, and he did not see those spiders similar to last time.

Feeling relieved, Tang Zhao began to find a suitable habitat for himself.

[Spiders can climb trees and dig holes without retreating. The best place to hide from those arthropods is probably in the water. Most of the existing arthropods can't swim. 】

Tang Zhao finally found a pond and lived in it temporarily.

Like many of his cousins, he can swim, and quite well.

At least something like submerging your body in water while you sleep and then coming up to breathe with your head can be done.
-
After finding a place to live, Tang Zhao began to explore the surrounding environment, but the results he got were very strange. He didn't know how to describe it specifically, so he could only temporarily think that "the forest is sick".

The trees are covered with cobwebs, giant spiders and giant insects emerge in endlessly, but there are almost no wild boars, deer and wild birds that should be found in a normal forest.

Many skeletons could be found on the ground, covered with bite marks of arthropod mouthparts, and the condition was not too long, which made Tang Zhao feel a little creepy.

He was sure that there must be some special monster in the woods, but he hadn't seen it yet, and hoped he wouldn't have to see it in the future.

The fear didn't stay in his heart for too long, and soon he turned his attention to other things—for example, whether there is a blood nucleus in the body of a giant arthropod.

Here he could find prey such as fish and a small amount of hares, but he still needed blood cores to evolve himself.
