Chapter 36: Body Surface Breathing

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

During this month of continuous hunting and upgrading his abilities, his two servants, the giant mutated turtle and the giant lizard girl, Claire, were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This was especially true for the giant lizard girl, Claire. Gray had already experienced her potential over the past few months. In just a short period of time, Claire’s strength had risen from a Level 2 mutant to a Level 4 mutant.

Although the speed of Gray’s improvement in the previous few levels was faster than Claire’s, it was because Gray had the help of the system.

Claire, who had no help at all, had improved so quickly. From this, it could be seen how great her potential was.

After four times of evolution, Claire’s appearance had also changed considerably.

Other than a few of her human characteristics, her appearance had become more of the characteristics of a giant lizard.

For example, that dazzling light golden hair had long since disappeared, turning into a head of long emerald green hair.

A pair of eyes that were as bright as black gems were now like wild beasts. They were no longer as bright as before, and there was only cold killing intent in her eyes.

The white long legs and crispy lotus-like arms were now covered with a layer of thick scales. At a glance, she was both hideous and ugly, completely unlike the beautiful young girl.

However, these protective measures were the guarantee of her survival in the wild.

In the wild, if she still cared about her appearance like a human girl, it would be no different from seeking death. Those mutated beasts would not have mercy for these young girls.

There were only fights between life and death.

Like now, half of her body was covered with scales, which could greatly increase Claire’s survival ability.

Not only Claire, even the mutated sea turtle had now stepped into the threshold of a Level 5 mutated beast.

Although it had faintly shown signs of breaking through to a Level 4 mutated beast before it left the island with Gray.

Now its body was a size bigger than before, and even the shell that had been blasted apart by the nuclear weapon was now as good as new. There were no signs of cracks at all.

Its appearance was also greatly different from before. The thick, khaki-colored turtle shell was firmly protecting its body. Its pair of marble-like eyes kept rolling randomly from time to time, as if it was thinking of some bad idea.

At a glance, one could see its cleverness.

And at this moment…

“Ta, ta, ta…”

As the earth continued to shake, an unspeakable sense of oppression came from the horizon in the distance. It was the aura of a predator from the top of the food chain.

“Roar, roar…”

Two roars sounded at the same time. The giant turtle and Claire seemed to have sensed something. The human and the beast looked at each other and sped up towards outside.

In the next minute, a nine-meter-long steel beast was imprinted into the eyes of the man and the beast.

“Roar, roar…”

Amidst the continuous roars, the giant turtle seemed to be expressing joy. It also seemed to be expressing welcome.

Claire, who was following behind, stood silently at the side, staring at him without blinking.

Gray slightly nodded, but he let his two companions stay by the side first.

He didn’t have time to engage in such formality right now. He just wanted to take a good rest.

After all, he had been hunting all day long lately and trying to go deep into the sea.

He hadn’t had a good rest for several days.

And this was only a small part of the training.

In order to improve the hit rate of the Steel Tail, Gray tried to control the magnetic field he was in, throwing stones high into the sky, and then using his tail to break them one by one.

Moreover, Gray would use his tail to turn the shattered stones into powder one by one.

The tail was his most lethal weapon now, other than the Dragon’s Breath. Therefore, he had to be as agile as his two claws. Moreover, he had to be able to shoot without missing a shot and win in a single strike.

Moreover, in order to make his claws sharper and more lethal, Gray would often repeatedly grind his claws on the smooth stones like a human sharpening a knife.

This was his daily routine now, just so that when he truly fought with the mutated giant shark, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Based on his experience over the past few months, Gray had discovered a fact.

That was, mutation and even evolution might allow these mutated beasts to possess astonishing skills and physiques. However, this ‘strength’ could only be used to bully existences weaker than them.

If he met an existence of the same level or even stronger, then he would be destined to reveal his true form. That was why…

Compared to other mutated beasts, his greatest advantage was his intelligence. This high level of intelligence was precisely the trump card that allowed him to survive among so many mutated beasts.

Intelligence was often able to calm people down, to the point where they would make the most advantageous choice for themselves.

As for what this choice was, of course, it was Gray’s usual killing method.

He would not be like other mutated beasts or the mythological dragons, sleeping after eating, eating after waking up, and waiting for time to settle down.

He would cherish every minute and second of his life, constantly strengthening his actual combat training, and using it to strengthen himself.

It would enrich his combat techniques, and make his killing methods more proficient.

With the accumulation of time and effort, the heights that Gray could reach in the future were imaginable.

However, while pursuing strength, Gray would not forget about his daily life.

For example, Gray’s habitat on Songba Island was near a mountain spring.

Not only was there a clean water source, but there were also mutated fish that were rich in protein. This was the so-called killing two birds with one stone.

“Sorry to trouble you, Jaye…”

This Jaye was referring to Claire, who was slowly walking over not far away.

Jaye was Gray’s first love in his previous life. It was also the new name that Gray gave to this giant lizard girl.

Claire was her previous life, and Jaye was her current life.

The implication of this name was that Gray hoped that the girl in front of him would forget her previous life and live a good life in the current life.

And now, after calling out to her, Gray was lazily lying on a large rock basking in the sun, pretending to be asleep.

Not long after.

“Splash, splash.”

Along the sound of gurgling water, clear spring water could be clearly seen flowing down from Gray’s head.

As for the tool used to hold the water, one could shockingly see the water hose in Jaye’s hand. It was a treasure found in the wreckage of the armed helicopter. From top to bottom, it watered Gray’s body.

Then, she took out a banana leaf and carefully wiped Gray’s body bit by bit..
