Chapter 272: New Ability, Color Change! First Tier Peak, Malicious World Will Approaches!
Lu Sheng felt a bit helpless. After his mutation, although his combat power increased, the most primitive camouflage ability had disappeared.
It's just a case of gains and losses, I suppose.
Lu Sheng watched the little bird fly away and finally decided to switch to another target.
"If I can't camouflage, it's harder to catch flying creatures without alarming them. Currently, I'm still unable to easily capture flying creatures, so my only option is..."
Lu Sheng's gaze shifted gently, and his eyes, devoid of any warmth, suddenly fixed on a gray rabbit not far away.
The next moment, Lu Sheng's figure shot out explosively. Accompanied by a burst of flames whistling through the air, he roasted the rabbit until it was cooked.
Afterward, Lu Sheng, satisfied, dragged the rabbit's corpse away slowly.
After dragging the rabbit into a tree hollow, Lu Sheng began devouring the rabbit's body. Although it was just an ordinary rabbit, in the Beast Realm, every creature contained more or less Bloodline Power.
The rabbit was no exception.
While eating the roasted rabbit, Lu Sheng operated the Dragon Transformation Technique, beginning the Refinement of the rabbit's Bloodline Power to strengthen himself.
At the same time, he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from around him, continuously enhancing himself.
Soon, a day passed.
Within the tree hollow, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his body had grown to forty centimeters.
"Late-stage of the first tier, bloodline purity has reached ninety-three percent."
Lu Sheng felt the strength of the Bloodline Power within him and smiled slightly, then opened the system panel.
[Name: Lu Sheng]
[Race: Forest Lizard (Red Exotic)]
[Realm: First Tier (61/100)]
[Fire Spray: (25/100)]
[Color Change: (1/100)]
[Bloodline Purity: (93/100)]
"The increase in bloodline concentration actually allowed me to master a new ability!"
Lu Sheng looked at the system panel, smiled slightly, then with a thought, his originally red skin unexpectedly began to change.
It turned into a brown color, the same as when he was an ordinary lizard before.
Lu Sheng lay prone in the tree hollow, and if one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't even tell the difference between Lu Sheng and the interior environment of the tree hollow.
"With the color change ability, I now have a method of camouflage, which not only grants me better hunting abilities but even... allows me to avoid capture by some powerful Exotic Beasts."
"In this Beast Realm, where the law of the jungle rules and there is no order, such an ability is incredibly useful."
Lu Sheng looked at the system panel in satisfaction, then dismissed the panel, slowly expanding his Perception from the tree hollow to extend to the outside world.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's brow slightly arched.
"The number of Exotic Beasts nearby is unexpectedly higher than yesterday, and I can even sense a second-tier level Exotic Beast!"
Within Lu Sheng's Perception, the creatures in this area were noticeably more active compared to the previous day.
"It seems the deterrent power of that previous group of Exotic Beasts is weakening bit by bit. Those that had left this area are starting to return."
"Though currently only low-tier Exotic Beasts have returned, over time, more and stronger Exotic Beasts will return to this area."
"I need to hurry, because if powerful Exotic Beasts return before I have a certain level of self-preservation ability, it'll be troublesome."
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng felt a subtle sense of urgency in his heart.
He then exited the tree hollow and went up the big tree where the little bird he had scared away was perched. Lu Sheng clung tightly to the trunk, ensuring he wouldn't fall.
His skin had already matched the color of the tree trunk completely.
Moreover, Lu Sheng discovered that the color change ability was not just about changing color but could indeed conceal his presence to some extent.
This enabled Lu Sheng to approach his prey more effectively.
Lu Sheng inched closer to the bird's nest until he was only two or three meters away when he noticed not only the little bird but also quite a few eggs inside the nest.
For a moment, instinctively, Lu Sheng couldn't help licking his lips, as if everything in front of him was extremely delicious.
Slowly, Lu Sheng approached the bird's nest. This time, utilizing his color change ability, even though he was just a few dozen centimeters away from the little bird, it still didn't notice Lu Sheng's presence.
Without any hesitation, Lu Sheng abruptly opened his mouth and swallowed the little bird in one gulp.
After swallowing it into his stomach, Lu Sheng leisurely crawled into the bird's nest and began enjoying the bird eggs within.
But when he ate the last bird egg, Lu Sheng was suddenly astonished to discover that this bird egg contained a wave of extremely powerful energy.
"Hmm? The energy in this bird egg..."
Lu Sheng looked at the bird egg with some surprise. Relying on his perception, Lu Sheng could clearly sense the energy wave in the bird egg.
"With this level of energy, once it hatches, it could immediately become a Tier 1 Exotic Beast. I didn't expect an ordinary creature to give birth to an exotic beast."
"It seems to be due to the purity of the bloodline. This world is indeed full of countless impossibilities."
Lu Sheng slightly smiled but didn't restrain himself. He opened his mouth again and directly swallowed the bird egg filled with rich energy.
Although the little bird inside this bird egg might become an exotic beast once born, it still couldn't escape becoming Lu Sheng's food in the end.
After filling his stomach completely, Lu Sheng returned satisfied to his tree hole to prepare for the refinement of this harvest.
Soon, another night passed.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and a faint energy wave emanated from him.
"Tier 1 peak!"
"Even my physique has reached fifty centimeters. It won't be long before I can grow to the size of a human."
"At that time, in this Beast Realm, I will have a certain capacity for self-preservation."
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, feeling his current state.
"The purity of my bloodline is already very high. Only that special bloodline power within me remains to be completely refined. Once refined, the purity of my bloodline could even become singular."
"Maybe I'll unlock new abilities."
"After all, I ate a bird egg about to become an exotic beast. The bloodline power and energy contained within far surpass those of ordinary creatures. If I can eat a few more Tier 1 exotic beasts, I might even use the Dragon Transformation Technique to directly advance to Tier 2!"
Lu Sheng said, a faint light gradually flickering in his eyes that held no warmth.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng suddenly felt eager to leave the tree hole and continue hunting.
But... just as Lu Sheng was about to step out of the tree hole, a vague sense of crisis appeared in his mind.
It wasn't his first time entering a strange world. When this vague sense of crisis appeared in his mind, Lu Sheng immediately understood everything.
The world consciousness of the Beast Realm... has started targeting him!
Like when he was in the Martial God World before, even if he was attached to Wu Tianyou, people were troubled within days.
This is precisely the world's consciousness targeting him as an outsider.
It's just that due to the deceit of the Martial God Blood Stone, it won't mobilize very strong forces to obliterate him.
Lu Sheng's perception suddenly exploded, and soon he saw outside the tree hole a giant lizard at least 1.3 meters large had appeared at some unknown time.
This giant lizard exuded the same Tier 1 peak aura as Lu Sheng.
Moreover, behind this giant lizard were spikes emitting green light. Just a glance was enough to feel the potent toxin carried within those spikes.
The giant lizard kept pacing near the tree hole as if searching for something.
Lu Sheng realized the world consciousness of the Beast Realm was influencing this giant lizard, although the lizard itself didn't understand why it was here wandering around.
It's entirely the world's consciousness in the Beast Realm arousing this giant lizard's instincts.
"Looks like... there's going to be a fierce battle!"
Lu Sheng spoke lightly.
It was impossible to avoid the malice of the world consciousness and had to face it head-on. Luckily, he detected changes nearby in advance and hastened to enhance his strength. Otherwise, it really wasn't certain he could be a match for this Tier 1 peak giant lizard.
"Just right, I'll test how my combat strength is now!"
Lu Sheng slightly smiled and dashed out of the tree hole.
As Lu Sheng rushed out, the giant lizard suddenly looked towards his location.
Upon sensing the aura emanating from Lu Sheng and his tiny physique, a touch of human-like smile appeared on the giant lizard's face.
Furthermore, through the pupil of this giant lizard, the deep greed in the lizard's eyes was reflected.
Roar Roar Roar!!
The giant lizard let out a low roar and stomped its foot, suddenly charging towards Lu Sheng.
Despite the fact that the aura on Lu Sheng was extremely close to his, the giant lizard didn't care. Relying on its naturally large physique, there were seldom exotic beasts on the same level that could rival it.
As a result...
At this moment, the giant lizard has inadvertently regarded Lu Sheng as its food, not taking him seriously at all!
