Following Kurt’s order, five mercenaries rushed with guns.

Diana and Alice immediately threw out the lime powder hidden behind them.

The surrounding was filled with white powder, blocking the poachers’ sight.

“Run!”

They fled in front while the poachers fired warning shots from behind.

However, they avoided their vitals and shot at Diana and Alice’s legs.

“Stop, or I’ll shoot.”

Diana naturally understood what they meant. When they saw the forest in front of them, they suddenly had an idea.

The three of them did not hesitate and hid in the forest. The grass was as tall as a person, so it was easy for them to hide.

It was their only way to avoid the poachers.

Poachers were all ferocious existences.

If they caught them, they could imagine how miserable their fate would be.

Especially in the Amazon rainforest, it was very likely that they would become female slaves and be crazily used until they died.

“What do we do now?”

Alice’s chest rose and fell. Even her clothes could not restrain her plump breasts.

It was as if her clothes were going to burst at the next moment.

Thinking of this, Harden said, “I know there’s a primitive aboriginal tribe nearby. I’ve been there once before and know their location.”

“Can we go there first? We’ll find an opportunity to take a boat back in the future.”

That was because when their boat came before, it encountered a big storm and overturned. They were temporarily unable to leave.

“Primitive tribe?”

Diana was stunned.

She knew that there were many primitive residents here, but most of them were isolated from the world and were very resistant to outsiders.

“What do they do to outsiders like us?” Diana asked.

Alice interrupted, “I heard that there are savage cannibals and headhunters here. They like to hunt and kill outsiders. We’re not going there, are we?”

These two primitive tribes were very savage. They ate human heads and drank human blood. Some of them often hunted foreign humans for fun and hung them up as human-skinned lanterns.

Just thinking about it made their bodies shiver.

But if they went in and were captured, their fate would not be much better than getting caught by the mercenaries outside.

Looking at their solemn expressions, Harden shook his head. “Of course not.”

“That’s good.”

Both of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“Da Da Da!”

At this moment, gunshots rang out from behind them. Diana knew that they had forced themselves into a corner.

The situation did not allow them to consider. Under Harden’s lead, they set off towards the tribe.

…

In the mysterious ruins, Alex had successfully swallowed Johnson and the others. He had obtained a total of 1,900 evolution points.

Although they were all humans, the evolution points they had were also different.

According to each person’s physique and wisdom, the evolution points obtained would also change accordingly.

In general, the stronger the physique and the higher the human wisdom, the higher the evolution points obtained, and conversely, the lower the evolution points obtained.

Johnson and Charles only had 1,000 evolution points together, while Jack alone surpassed the two of them, and his 900 evolution points occupied the highest ranking.

It was the highest record for killing a single prey.

Now that he had accumulated 2,520 evolution points, he could feel the explosive power in his body.

He was going to evolve

The fourth evolution.

“System, how long will the evolution take this time?”

“Master, it will take 48 hours this time. During the evolution process like the last time, you must keep your body still.”

Alex nodded. This cave seemed to be much more hidden, and he could use it for evolution.

However, before he evolved, he still needed to get rid of some small prey.

The remaining snake groups.

They did not have any offensive power, but if the snake groups suddenly attacked while he was evolving, it would still be a little troublesome, although it could not break through its defense.

When the snakes saw Alex’s sharp pincers, they hissed and crawled around in fear.

The snakes pushed their speed to the limit, but everything was in vain in front of absolute strength.

Everything was ready for the next evolution.

Alex felt that as the time it took to evolve grew longer, the unstable factors also increased.

It seemed that after this evolution, he had to recruit some underlings.

“System, begin the fourth evolution!”

One Hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

…

After forty-eight hours, Alex woke up from the evolution and felt that the strength in his entire body had increased again.

He swung his claws with all his strength, leaving a deep claw mark on the wall in front of him. Regardless of whether it was his speed or power, both had significantly increased.

“Host, the evolution this time is still very successful,” the system said.

Alex said, “System, bring up the attribute panel; let me take a look.”

Then, a colorful page appeared in his mind.

Host: Alex

Species: Arthropoda Arachnida Far Eastern Scorpion

Level: Tier 4

Abilities: sudden impact, water avoidance, limb regeneration, electric shield, lethal poison fog

Age: 0.1

Lifespan: 300

…

Strength: 6.4 times

Speed: 3.8 times

Defense: 3.9 times

Toxicity: 2.1 times

Vitality: 7.2 times

Deadly Poison Fog!

It was a new ability that Alex obtained when he evolved for the fourth time.

He could release 10 ml of fog-like gas from his mouth or tail when he used this ability.

This fog-like gas evolved from the poison glands in his tail. Its toxicity was astonishing. He only needed 1 ml of poison to kill a bull.

Moreover, this gas was very corrosive.

Steel, rock, plastic, wood, and other metal materials were all very easily destroyed.

Alex tested it and sprayed some poison on the nearby wall. It had a capacity of about 5 ml. The poison fog flew in the air for more than ten meters and hit the stone on the wall.

Following that, the stone made a sizzling sound, accompanied by a puff of black smoke, and the fog corroded a large hole.

After the black smoke passed, a seven to eight centimeter-deep hole was left on the stone, which was only three to four centimeters less than his large pincers.

“It is indeed extraordinary. I have another ultimate move!”

Alex was still quite satisfied. It could be a sudden attack during hunting, and that would significantly increase the success rate.

Even if a tank came, with this corrosive ability, Alex was confident that he could break through its defense.

The only shortcoming was that the distance of the jet was not that far.

The accuracy was only 20 meters. If it exceeded this distance, the poisonous fog would disperse.

Alex climbed the mountain wall and dug out the hole that he had made before. At this time, the rain had already become much less.

With a light leap, he jumped from below to the mountainside.

“This jumping speed is equivalent to those people in the movies.”

Alex was a little proud. He climbed up the mountaintop again and looked at the surrounding scenery. The mountains, rivers, everything was so beautiful.

But at this moment.

His gaze focused on a river at the bottom of the valley.
