As I continue hunting rock lizards, it becomes easier and easier. Unfortunately, as I kill more of them, the experience points, power points, and cultivation points that I could extract from them also lessens. Right now, it's almost next to zero. 

However, I already expected it from the very beginning, so don't care too much. Back on earth, this type of side effect, the more you hunt and level up, the harder it is to advance was promoted by mobile games; once your level is high enough compared to the mobs, even if you kill hundreds of them, you would get nothing in return.  

Being able to gain something, even just a little, can already be considered as luck. 

Not to mention, although hunting rock lizards isn't beneficial to me anyway just like when I just started, hunting is still hunting and it is better, rather than doing what those normal cultivators do; sit at one corner in a lotus position to level up. Yuck!

'Just imagining it makes me feel bored.'

'I don't even want to think of doing that shit.'

I walk near the rock lizard's corpse and bend my neck. My sharp claws come out as my mouth turns to open. 

Crunch* 

The sound of bone cracking sounds my mouth engulfs the rock lizard's head and swag it to get it separated from its body. 

After becoming a red eyed mountain rat, I now can feel hunger and fatigue. From time to time, I have to eat, drink and rest. And because I am now a beast, the taste of raw meat tastes very juicy and delicious. Although it feels gross as I can taste the fur, the blood, the bones and the brain in my mouth, it is better than starving to death.  

'It's a pity that there still no Earth Lizard's that want to appear' 

Even without using my skills, I can already kill one rock lizard every ten minutes of battle. If this continues, I am afraid I will soon get tired of it.

.

Swoosh* 

As I am immersed in my thoughts, a dark shadow suddenly jumps from the bushes and seemingly lands behind my back. Just as I turn around to see what if is, a giant claw welcomes me and a slash lands on my face. 

Bam* 

I feel no different from getting an uppercut, but not by a punch of a human, but by the claw of a beast. My feet depart from the ground and I fly in the mid-air and rotate with three sixty degrees before I fall on the ground one meter away from my former location.

Argh* 

Blood comes out from my mouth and drips on the corner of my lips. 

'Fuck! I shouldn't be careless!' I say in my mind. 

Although it is a sneak attack, it is still considered my fault. I shouldn't act careless as I am currently in a battle. 

My face feels hot as I feel my skin tissue daparts. 

'Nonetheless, it ain't bad' 

A smile breaks in my bloody face. I am not mad or unhappy with the sneak attack and the damage I got. Contrary, I am happy inwardly. 

'How long has it been since I started fighting?' I say. This is the first time someone made me feel this pain again. Not to mention, this damage is nothing for me. With the additional hidden ability of my race, the wound not long after healed on its own. Although the pain is still there, at least, it won't get worse because no wound is open for some bacteria to enter. 

'To think that this piece of unknown shit can hurt me?' I crack my neck as I stand up and search the shadow. 

However, for the second time, what greets me is the familiar sharp claws and before I know it, I again get clawed and sent flying. 

This time, it isn't funny anymore. 'I am not a masochist, okay?' I close my eyes as I don't want to see the world rotate while I am mid air. It's making me feel dizzy. 

I get sent flying for a few meters, and after I fall on the ground, I roll for a few times with the scope of a few meters before I hit a fallen tree trunk on my way and get stopped.  

Crack* 

Bone cracking echoing in my ears as I stand up.

Boom* 

Yet I fail and fall again. 

Most of my bones, especially my back that hits the trunk has broken. It takes a few seconds before it heals. 

'It's not fun, not fun anymore!' I say it in my mind, repeatedly.

Swoosh* 

While in pain, I feel the wind desort. Sending the upcoming danger, my heart beats faster and an emergency energy enters my body. With a flick of my feet, my body, like a feather, jumps to the other side and successfully evades the incoming attack from the shadow. 

Boom* 

The shadow clearly didn't expect my sudden action, causing it to fall on the ground and be buried by the dust. 

'Is it an Earth Lizard?' I say, curious.

So far, I still haven't encountered even one Rock Lizard (Rock Lizard: Juvenile, Earth Lizard: Old) that can inflict such power. I conclude that this one is not juvenile. (I'm not sure tho, because before I could look at the shadow a while ago, it clawed my face)

Talking about-face, I raise my claws and touch my face.

Argh* 

It is still painful. Although the cut has already healed, touching the particular place where the damage occurred is still painful. 

I roll my eyes at my idiotic action before I shift my attention back to the dispersing dust.

Squeak* 

Not long after, a faint moan from the beast echoes from the dust. When all the dust disperses, unexpectedly, what I see there isn't an earth lizard (At least I could say because the appearance was still the same as the rock lizard), but a rock lizard. Because of the force it extracted at that attack but failed and instead fell straight on the ground, a small crater has formed and half of its hand sank in the place. It struggles as it tries to take it off. 

Haha!

Just looking at the current situation of the lizard already made my day. 'What the hell.'

'It looks like an idiot. ' I break out in laughter as I watch it. 'I can't take it! Hahaha*'

But joke aside, I didn't expect that in their race, someone already capable of concealing skill at this young age would appear. 

Unfortunately, it dared to attack me, which does not differ from committing suicide. 

Although I killed too many of his patriots and it has enough reason to be angry and attack me or try to murder me.

In any case, if I, without breaking a sweat, successfully killed too many of them, how could he defeat me? Even with its power of concealment, the damage it could inflict to me isn't that strong. 

Sometimes, even if we are angry, the best choice is to calm down. Calm down and be strong. Only attack if you are strong enough, and not merely confident with your strength. Sometimes, "retreat" is a good way for you to advance smoothly. 

It's a pity, but don't get me wrong. I don't feel guilty for him, although I made something wrong; which is killing their race. I don't think they won't do the same if they are in my position. It's better to use them for me to level up, than them to use me to level up. 

In this forest, the rules are meat eat meat. Only the strong could remain alive. 

Looking at the struggling rock lizard, trying to pull its hand out from the sink, with a bit of pity, I sigh. I form a fist and hop to the sky. I injected some qi to my palm to pay my respect by not looking down at my enemy that much. Although I still look down at him, for me, he has a higher position than others. 

Boom*

Within a matter of a second, my body becomes an afterimage and appears next to the rock lizard. With a swing of my palm, I claw the rock lizard's head and cause it to explode. 

An instant death for it.

Looking at the dead body, I sigh in regret and look at the sky.

I thought I had found a worthy opponent to use my ability, even just half of my power, yet it turned out, another weakling that is merely good at concealing.
