"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…"
A mosquito-like insect was flying around among the lush leaves. Suddenly, a khaki-colored lizard jumped out of the soil. It opened its mouth and rolled its tongue at a speed that could only be captured by high-speed cameras. It ate the insect and quickly drilled back into the soil. It used its protective color to hide, waiting for the arrival of its next meal.
The lizard smacked its mouth and swallowed the food in its mouth. Feeling the delicious taste and the feeling of fullness in its stomach, it sighed very humanely.
The lizard's name was Qian Xun. She was once a social animal who had just graduated from Shangjing University in China for less than two years. Then, after waking up from a nap, she inexplicably turned into a lizard.
Qian Xun did not feel too emotional about her transformation into a lizard. After all, she had no parents and was just an orphan. Even if she suddenly disappeared and died, no one would care. In fact, her corpse might even stay in the rented house for a month before being discovered because it had turned smelly.
Therefore, he accepted his current situation calmly. Even if he continued to be a human being, he would only become a screw in society. In the end, he would rot and rust and gradually become a piece of dust that no one knew.
" The adaptability of humans is really strong. I can actually accept eating insects.'
Qian Xun, who was 80% full, continued to bury her body in the soil. She closed her eyes slightly and took a nap. Trying not to move too much was a skill that she had learned after becoming a lizard. Other than reducing the energy consumption of her body, she could also avoid being discovered by some natural enemies. She could use her camouflage to protect herself.
At first, when Qian Xun discovered that she had turned into a lizard, she could accept everything else except that she needed to eat insects to fill her stomach. As a human, she felt that eating insects was disgusting. However, as her stomach grew hungrier and hungrier, her desire for insects grew stronger and stronger. Qian Xun could not help but catch the first insect to eat.
It was only then that Qian Xun realized that, perhaps because her current body was a lizard, her taste buds were completely different from a human's. When she tasted the insects, she unexpectedly found them delicious. It was also from then on that Qian Xun accepted the fact that she was now a lizard and began her life as a lizard.
Having inherited all the abilities of a lizard and a human mind, he was temporarily enjoying himself in this rainforest. His life in the past month was considered relaxed.
Di Qianxun did not know what this rainforest was, nor did he know if it was still on Earth. As his body was a lizard, he could not sense the humidity and heat from the outside. However, from the fact that it was all tropical rainforests, he could roughly guess that he was in the range of the equator.
" Sigh, it would be great if I could be a lion or a tiger. I could even rule the grasslands and forests. Even if I'm not a lion or a tiger, it's not bad to be a giant panda. That way, I can act cute and live a happy life.'
Qian Xun, who was sprawled on the ground, was lost in her thoughts.
He was now a lizard, and a very small one at that. When he was looking for a water source to drink, he could even recognize his own species from his instincts.
The Jesus Lizard was also known as the Christian Lizard. It was a type of lizard with a very grand name. However, the Jesus Lizard did not have any particularly powerful strength at all. In the natural food chain, it was only slightly higher than those insects. The reason why it was called the Jesus Lizard was because this lizard had the ability to run on water with two legs.
In the Bible, it was recorded that Jesus could walk on water. Hence, lizards with this ability were named as such. Qian Xun knew about this lizard because he had resigned from his job and rested at home before he transmigrated into a lizard. When he had nothing to do, he would look at the Animal World and pay attention to the various beautiful female creatures in the Animal World. Coincidentally, this wonderful animal was introduced in the book.
Qian Xun was able to determine her species precisely because she discovered her running instinct near the water source.
But even so, Qian Xun felt that it was useless. Apart from escaping, was there any other meaning to running on the water? Or would other creatures bow down to him and call him 'God'?
'My body is still too small, and there are so many natural enemies. It's very difficult to survive here. What should I do next?'
Qian Xun furrowed her brows tightly.
After becoming a lizard for more than a month, the novelty had long passed. Now that she was faced with a tropical forest where her life could be in danger at any time, Qian Xun felt that this was more like the door to hell. A demon could jump out at any time and kill her. As a creature at the bottom of the food chain, it was very difficult for her to live freely. He had to be careful in every aspect to prevent himself from losing his life.
Especially after transforming into a lizard, Qian Xun was even more afraid of something.
How long could the Jesus Lizard live?
There was no mention of this in the Animal World. Based on the size of this lizard, Qian Xun did not think that he would have a very long life. If he was really a lizard, it would be fine. He would not have any questions about who he was and how long he could live. However, the tragic thing was that his thoughts were that of a real human.
With modern medical technology, it was not a problem for a human to live for 60 to 70 years. Qian Xun, who was in her twenties, felt that she should have at least 40 to 50 years to live. However, as a lizard, he did not think that he could really live for 40 to 50 years, especially in such a tropical rainforest environment. It would probably be difficult for him to live until the end of his life.
The terror of death enveloped Qian Xun's heart, making him anxious. However, as a lizard, he really did not know what to do.
Suddenly, Qian Xun's lizard instincts made her sense danger. Her long and narrow eyes quickly turned to the spot where she sensed danger.
Lizards did not have good vision, but they were extremely sensitive to moving creatures. In that blurry vision, Qian Xun could sense where the danger was coming from.
There was actually a snake coiled on a branch not far away from him. It stuck out its tongue and stared at Qian Xun with a cruel gaze.
"Oh no, it's a snake!"
Qian Xun's vertical pupils constricted. A lizard of his size was a delicacy for snakes. With his physique that could be trampled to death by a human, it was impossible for him to defeat a snake.
Fleeing was the only way Qian Xun could think of to get out of this predicament.
……
As a lizard with a human mind and soul, Qian Xun also possessed human intelligence in addition to her lizard instincts. When she was looking for a habitat, she had always been close to a water source, so that she could escape immediately if she encountered danger.
Qian Xun could not be bothered to think about how she had been discovered by a snake. There was no such thing as a foolproof protection in nature. Even a chameleon might be able to find her. With her muddy appearance, it was impossible for her to protect herself from being discovered by hunters. Furthermore, Qian Xun remembered that snakes did not rely on their eyes to find their prey.
Just as Qian Xun's imagination was running wild, his body's instinct made him dash out in an instant. He sprinted towards the water source at an extremely high speed. The snake was stunned for a moment, as if it did not expect its dinner to run away so quickly. It then swam through the grass and chased after it, unwilling to let its dinner escape so easily.
Qian Xun ran wildly through the grass on all fours. At this moment, a faint sense of sadness and fear flashed across his heart.
This was the first time he had been discovered by a predator after transforming into a lizard. After the novelty of transforming into a lizard had passed, Qian Xun finally felt the scariest thing about becoming a lizard. It was the great horror of leaving one's life and death to fate. As a lizard, he was only a super-small Jesus Lizard. In this tropical forest, he was basically prey for countless animals. It was extremely difficult for him to survive here.
As she sprinted through the grass, she could feel that the snake behind her had not given up and was still chasing after her. The fear in Qian Xun's heart grew even stronger. If she were a human now, her heart would probably be beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat. Regardless of whether she was a lizard or a human, Qian Xun definitely did not want to die like this.
Insects were flying around him. Normally, Qian Xun would think of a way to feast on these insects, but he did not dare to think so much now. If he ran a little slower, he might become a feast for an animal.
Under such fear, Qian Xun pushed the lizard's speed to the limit. Not long after, he jumped over a bush and saw the flowing water in front of him. He was ecstatic and increased his speed again.
When he ran to the water source, Qian Xun's instincts as a Jesus Lizard came into play. She changed from running on all fours to using her lower limbs. Then, in a very ungraceful posture, she quickly kicked her legs and used the lost Qinggong, Floating on Water. In the blink of an eye, she ran far away on the water surface.
When the snake reached the shore, it could only stick out its tongue and watch Qian Xun walk on the water. In the blink of an eye, it had run far away.
Only then did Qian Xun relax a little. She knew that the snake would probably not chase after her, but she did not dare to stop. She continued to run on the surface of the water with all her might. Although she could swim as a lizard, it was more dangerous for her to be so small in the water. She might accidentally become dinner for some fish. Therefore, she could not stop. She had to run to land before she ran out of energy.
Suddenly, Qian Xun's eyes lit up. He saw a small island in the middle of the river. Of course, the reason why the island was called a small island was because of Qian Xun's size. To some animals that were large enough, it might just be a large rock.
However, to Qian Xun, this 'island' was a good place for him to rest. He quickly ran to the 'island'. As a small lizard, he could not maintain the' floating skill 'for too long. It consumed a lot of his physical strength. With this island as a resting place, he could continue running on the surface of the water and return to land once his physical strength recovered.
He did not dare to stay on the island for too long. It was easy to be discovered by birds in such a wide and exposed rock area. If he was accidentally eaten by birds, he would have no place to cry.
As a creature at the bottom of the food chain, Qian Xun's life was miserable. He had too many natural enemies. Other than bullying the smaller insects, Qian Xun could only run away when faced with slightly aggressive animals.
He used all four limbs to search the 'island', hoping to find some places like cracks in the rocks. That place was relatively safe for a small creature like him.
However, he couldn't find a place to take refuge on this 'island'. Instead, he found a crack in the cracks of the rocks.
The crevice was pitch-black and bottomless, as if it was connected to hell. However, this was only an analogy for a small lizard like Qian Xun. To some large animals, this might just be an ordinary crevice in the rock.
Qian Xun stood in front of the crevice that seemed to be very deep and hesitated for a moment. He carefully compared whether it was safer to go in or go out. However, he quickly made up his mind and went straight into the crevice.
Looking at the size of the crack, even if there were other creatures inside, they would probably be about the same size as him. In that case, he could still fight. However, if he stayed outside and was discovered by a bird, he might be dead. Even if he could float on water, birds could fly!
"Eh?"
After entering the crevice, Qian Xun walked forward for some distance. The crevice was extremely narrow, only a few centimeters wide and ten centimeters high. With Qian Xun's size, she could barely squeeze in. However, in the deepest part of the crevice, she suddenly saw a ray of light.
"What is that thing?"
Light did not come into being by itself, and that fleeting flash of light was extremely blinding. It did not look like a product of nature at all. Qian Xun hesitated for a moment, but her strong curiosity gave her the urge to continue crawling forward.
Just like that, he climbed for about ten meters before his head suddenly hit something. A metallic sound was heard.
"Is it the end?"
He knocked on the barrier in front of him with his claws. From the sound, it should be a mineral metal.
"Was this the thing that flashed just now? Could it be some rare mineral?”
As Qian Xun thought of this, she felt rather disappointed.
He was only a lizard now. Even if he had a hundred tons of gold in front of him, it would be useless to a lizard like him, let alone rare metal minerals.
Just as Qian Xun felt bored and was about to crawl back to the cave entrance to rest and recover her strength before leaving, the metallic object lit up again.
When he got closer, Qian Xun finally realized how dazzling the light was. His vertical pupils constricted, and in an instant, he felt as if he was blinded by the blinding light. There was nothing else in his vision other than the blinding light. He even felt as if he was surrounded by light.
At this moment, a voice that he couldn't understand but could understand suddenly appeared in his mind.
" Unknown creature discovered, requesting search…"
" Search successful. Unknown creature's soul and body are different. Suspected to be a product of the Tailun Civilization…"
" According to the Tailun Civilization's 'Intelligent Life Technique', the highest intelligent life form with a special mission will be allowed to' survive 'as the first principle. Now requesting genetic comparison-"
" Requesting genetic comparison…"
"Genetic comparison completed. Unknown creature's genetic compatibility rate is 82.6%. According to the first rule of Survival, please begin the God Creation Project…"
" Request successful. Beginning species modification…"
"Species modification target, magical creature of Saint Sauron World--Giant Dragon!”
When Qian Xun heard this, she fell unconscious. Before she fainted, she only wanted to say," F * ck!"
