"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!"
A mosquito-like insect was flying around among the lush leaves. Suddenly, a khaki-colored lizard darted out of the soil. It opened its mouth and rolled its tongue at a speed that could only be captured by a high-speed camera. It ate the insect and quickly burrowed 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 Louis. He was once a social animal who had just graduated from Shangjing University in China for less than two years. Then, when he woke up after sleeping, he inexplicably turned into a lizard.
Louis didn't feel too much regret about turning into a lizard. He had no parents and was just an orphan. Even if he suddenly disappeared and died, no one would care. His corpse might even stay in the rented house for a month and be discovered because it became 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 even accept eating insects in the undersea stage.'
Louis, who was 80% full, continued to bury his body in the soil. He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a nap. Trying not to move too much was a skill he had learned during his days as a lizard. Other than reducing the energy consumption of his body, it could also avoid being discovered by some natural enemies. He used camouflage to protect his safety.
In the beginning, when Louis discovered that he had turned into a lizard, he could accept everything else, but he could not accept that he needed to eat insects to fill his stomach. As a human being, he felt that eating insects was disgusting. However, as his stomach became more and more hungry, his desire for insects became stronger and stronger. Louis could not help but catch the first insect to eat.
At that time, Louis realized that perhaps because his current body was a lizard, his taste buds were completely different from humans. When he tasted insects, he unexpectedly found them delicious. It was from then on that Louis accepted the result of being a lizard and began his life as a lizard.
Having inherited all the abilities of a lizard and a human mind, he was living a comfortable life in this rainforest for the time being. His life for the past month was considered relaxed.
Louis didn't know what this rainforest was, and he didn't even know if it was still on Earth. Because his body was a lizard, he couldn't 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.'
Louis, who was lying on the ground, was lost in his 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.
According to the Bible, Jesus could walk on water, so lizards with this ability were named after him. The reason why Louis knew about this lizard was that before he transmigrated into a lizard, he happened to resign and rest at home. 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. The book happened to introduce this wonderful animal.
It was because Louis discovered his running instinct by the water source that he determined his species.
But even so, Louis felt that it was useless. What was the point of running on the water other than escaping? 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?'
Louis frowned.
After becoming a lizard, the novelty of the past few months had long passed. Now, facing the tropical jungle where his life was in danger at any time, Louis felt that this was more like the door to hell. A demon could jump out at any time and kill him. As a creature at the bottom of the food chain, it was difficult to live freely. He had to be careful in every aspect to prevent himself from losing his life.
Especially after becoming a lizard, Louis was even more afraid of something-
how long could a Jesus lizard live?
The animal world didn't seem to mention this, and based on the size of this lizard, Louis didn't think that his life would be very long. If he was really a lizard, it would be fine. He wouldn't have questions about who he was and how long he could live. However, the tragic thing was that his mind was a real human.
With modern medical technology, it was not a problem for humans to live for 60 to 70 years. Louis, who was in his twenties, felt that he should have at least 40 to 50 years to live. However, now that he had become a lizard, he did not think that he could really live for 40 to 50 years, especially in this tropical rainforest environment. It would be difficult for him to live until the end of his life.
The terror of death enveloped Louis 'heart, making him anxious. However, as a lizard, he really didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the lizard's instinct made Louis sense danger. His long and narrow pupils quickly looked in the direction of the danger.
Lizards didn't have good vision, but they were extremely sensitive to moving creatures. In that blurry vision, Louis could sense where the danger came from.
Not far from him, there was a snake coiled on a branch. It stuck out its tongue and stared at Louis with a cruel gaze.
"Oh no, it's a snake!"
Louis's vertical pupils constricted. Lizards of his size were a delicacy for snakes, and with his physique that could be trampled to death by a human, it was impossible for him to defeat a snake.
Escaping was the only way Louis could think of to get out of this predicament.
As
a lizard with a human mind and soul, in addition to the instincts of a lizard, Louis also had human intelligence. When he was looking for a habitat, he had always been close to a water source, so that he could escape immediately if he encountered danger.
Louis couldn't be bothered to think about why he was discovered by snakes. There was no foolproof protection in nature. Even chameleons could be discovered. His muddy appearance could never protect him from being discovered by hunters. Besides, Louis remembered that snakes didn't seem to rely on their eyes to find prey.
Just as Louis was letting his imagination run wild, his body's instinct made him dash out in an instant. He ran 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. Then, it swam through the grass and chased after it, unwilling to let its dinner escape easily.
Louis ran wildly through the grass. At this moment, a faint sadness and fear flashed across his heart.
This was the first time he had been discovered and escaped by a natural enemy after transforming into a lizard. After the novelty of transforming into a lizard had passed, Louis finally felt the most terrifying thing about becoming a lizard. It was the great terror of life and death. As a lizard, he was only a super-small Jesus lizard. He was the prey of countless animals in the tropical jungle. It was extremely difficult to survive here.
As he ran through the grass, he felt that the snake behind him did not give up and was still chasing after him. Louis's fear grew even stronger. If he was a human now, his heart would probably be beating so hard that it would jump out of his throat. Whether he was a lizard or a human, Louis definitely did not want to die like this.
There were insects flying around. Normally, Louis might think of a way to have a good meal when he saw these insects, but now he didn't dare to have so many thoughts. If he ran a little slower, he might become a meal for an animal.
Under this fear, Louis 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 sped up again.
When he ran to the water source, Louis's instinct as a Jesus lizard came into play. He changed from running on all fours to using his lower limbs. Then, in a very unelegant posture, he quickly kicked his legs and used a lost lightness skill, Floating on Water. In the blink of an eye, he ran far away on the water.
When the snake ran to the shore, it could only stick out its tongue and watch Louis walk on the water. In the blink of an eye, it had run far away.
At this moment, Louis's heart relaxed a little. He knew that the snake would not chase after him, but Louis did not dare to stay. He continued to run on the water. Although he could swim as a lizard, it was more dangerous for him to be so small in the water. It was very likely that he would become dinner for a fish if he was not careful. Therefore, he could not stop. He had to run to land before he ran out of energy.
Suddenly, Louis's eyes lit up. He saw an island in the middle of the river. Of course, the reason why the island was called an island was only because of Louis's size. To some large animals, it might just be a big rock.
However, to Louis, the island was a good place to rest. He quickly ran to the island. As a small lizard, he could not continue to float on water for too long. It was very exhausting for his body. With the island as a resting place, he could continue to run on the water back to land as long as he recovered his strength.
After running to the island, he did not dare to stay for too long. In this kind of open and exposed rock area, it was very easy to be discovered by birds. If he was accidentally eaten by birds, he would have no place to cry.
As a creature at the bottom of the food chain, Louis's life was miserable. He had too many natural enemies. Other than bullying smaller insects, Louis could only run away from 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 crack was pitch-black and bottomless, as if it was connected to hell. However, this analogy was only for small lizards like Louis. To some large animals, it might just be an ordinary crack in the rock.
Louis stood in front of the seemingly deep crack and hesitated for a moment. He carefully compared whether it was safe to go in or outside. However, he quickly made up his mind and went straight into the crack.
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, Louis walked forward for a while. The crevice was extremely narrow, about a few centimeters wide and ten centimeters high. For Louis 'size, he could barely squeeze in. However, in the deepest part of the crevice, he suddenly saw a light.
"What is that thing?"
The light couldn't produce itself, but just now, it was fleeting, the light was blinding, how could it look like it was the product of nature? Louis hesitated for a moment, but his strong curiosity still made him have the urge to crawl forward.
Just like that, he climbed for about ten meters before his head suddenly hit something. A metallic sound was heard.
"The end?"
He used his claws to knock on the barrier in front of him. Judging from the sound, it should be a mineral metal.
"Was this the thing that flashed just now? Could it be some rare and strange mineral mineral?”
Louis thought this, but he was 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 Louis felt a little bored and was about to crawl back to the cave to rest and recover his strength before leaving, the metal-like thing lit up again.
As he got closer, Louis realized how dazzling the light was. His vertical pupils constricted, and in an instant, it was as if he was blinded by the light. There was nothing else in his vision other than the glaring 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 lifeform discovered, requesting search…Search
successful, unknown lifeform's soul and physical body are different, suspected to be a product of the Tailun Civilization…"
"According to the Tailun Civilization's Intelligent Life Law, the highest intelligent lifeform with a special mission is allowed to use 'survival' as the first principle. Now requesting genetic comparison-"
"requesting genetic comparison

…Request successful, begin species modification…
Target of species modification, magical creature of Saint Solon-Giant Dragon!”
When Louis heard this, he fell unconscious. Before he fainted, he only wanted to say,"F * ck!"
