Exploring the Wilderness: Activating Proficiency in All Professions - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Luca Evolves

David was stunned. How the hell was this a vegetarian? It was totally a carnivore.

Seeing such a massive creature, he did not dare to be a show off. Holding Luca, he turned and ran.

“Sssssssss…” Luca let out a low croon in his arms.

Animals could sense each other’s sound waves. All of a sudden, the huge creature in the distance moved!

It looked in their direction and walked towards them.

David smacked Luca hard on the head. “You’re screwing me on purpose, aren’t you? Ingrate?”

When he turned around and saw the monster walking towards him, he did not dare to wait, immediately taking to his heels.

He warned Luca, who was in his arms, “If you make another sound again, I’ll make a stew with you when we get back!”

Luca only understood then that it seemed to have made a mistake. Staring at the distant monster, it ducked into David’s arms.

The people in the livestream went crazy.

“Haha, this is totally an ingrate.”

“The monster didn’t notice them at first, but with Luca’s cry, it immediately attracted the monster’s attention.”

“I don’t believe they can escape from such a huge monster this time.”

“David, you have to work hard. You have to get away from the monster.”

“I’ve watched your livestream for so many days. I hope you can survive.”

Many people were frightened by the scene before their eyes. They hoped that David would be safe.

Meanwhile, some others were extremely excited and looked forward to the cruel scene that was about to happen.

The monster could crush him with one step, turning him into a pile of slush that would ultimately rot in the mud.

In the main livestream, Allie covered her face again, feeling curious but afraid to watch.

Wade’s expression was also very grave. He saw this scene and sighed. “This time, David may not survive.”

At the same time, the number on the right side of the livestream continued to drop.

There were originally 95 people left, but it suddenly became 83.

In other words, in the short span of half an hour, more than 10 people had died due to the monsters’ sudden appearance.

The entire island was huge, of course there was more than one monster.

Some of them suddenly appeared in front of people and looked at the frightened gazes of the people around them with contempt.

Following which, they’d knock the people to death using their heads. It would be difficult for him to even piece the corpses back together.

Others also turned the humans into slosh with one stomp. Some even swallowed the humans in one go.

…

The state of the dead bodies was extremely horrifying.

These people had all signed a disclaimer and would at most receive some compensation from the production team.

Presently, David was still running.

However, he found that although the monster’s every step was slow, it was just enough to close the distance between them.

The surrounding trees were knocked down by its massive body. Even the terrain changed.

He looked ahead and saw that he was within range of a familiar environment.

However, even the traps he had set up were incapable of stopping the monster.

Besides, if he continued to run like this, he would attract the monster to where he lived. That would be rather foolish.

He changed direction and headed southeast. There was a small hill on that side.

If he could run to the top of the hill, he could at least retaliate once.

He tightened his grip on his club and continued forward.

Now that he had a plan and an objective, he calmed down.

He continued forward at an extremely fast speed.

He now pulled away from the big guy, who had been very close to him.

The comments in the livestream never stopped and kept rolling.

“Oh my god, isn’t he too fast?”

“Is this the result of being disciplined and exercising every morning?”

“Seeing this, I, the fatty, also feel that it’s time to exercise.”

“If he’s fast enough, he can escape.”

“No way, he escaped again?”

Just as everyone thought he might escape, the Ancient Lizard raised its head and let out a loud cry.

Then, it also sped up the movement of its short limbs and ran towards David.

Many people were stunned. They had never imagined that the Ancient Lizard would actually do such a thing.

“Damn!”

David noticed the problem too and cursed under his breath.

His speed was already fast enough, but the gap between the two of them continued to close.

Especially now that he was running up the mountain, his speed had also slowed.

Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, countless people’s hearts were in their throats.

Wade was also in a sweat for David. He had thought that David could successfully get away.

Who would have known that he would actually run up the mountain?

Wade shook his head in disappointment. “I don’t think he has a chance this time.”

“Under normal circumstances, he should continue running on the flat ground. Isn’t running up the mountain suicidal?”

“He was too panicked and took the wrong path.”

Wade still found it rather regrettable. He had thought David would be a rising star.

He did not expect there to be so many monsters on this island. This was something that cannot be helped.

The production team had done a detailed investigation in the beginning, but they did not discover such ferocious monsters on the island at all.

Wade was also puzzled by this fact.

The comments in the livestream never stopped. Hundreds of millions of people were watching this scene.

Some of them prayed for David, hoping that he would be blessed by God.

Some were gloating, thinking that this person was finally dead.

David soon climbed up the hill. Luca could feel the tension in the air while in his arms.

It glanced at its master, then at the monster not far away, and silently lowered its head.

It must have been its earlier actions that attracted this monster.

Master actually did not crush it on the spot like he did with those hares and pheasants.

His master treated him sincerely. Things became like this because he had come out to save it.

Just as David was about to find a way to counterattack, an ill-timed voice sounded in his head.

“Detected increased intimacy between Host and pet, current level: 100%.”

Ding!

“Congratulations, Pet Luca, has leveled up and evolved into a Lightning Chameleon Mink.”

Ding!

“Detected that intimacy between Host and pet has increased again, current level: 500%”

“Pet Luca has leveled up and evolved into an Ancient Lightning Chameleon Mink.”

As soon as the system’s voice fell, Luca, who was as big as a bamboo rat, jumped out of his arms.

A colorful light flashed in the sky. Many people did not see what was happening clearly.

David couldn’t even open his eyes from the light. He had to stop running.

It was at this point that the Ancient Lizard in the distance also noticed the light in the air, and stopped in place.

David stood at the top of the hill. The Ancient Lizard was halfway up the hill, it was no more than 100 meters between them.

If the Ancient Lizard were to charge at him now, he would only die.

The livestream exploded.

“What happened? What’s going on?”
