Chapter 38: Gale, Unlucky Shark Lizard Beast

In the forest, a deer lowered its head to nibble at the fresh, tender leaves of the shrubs while keeping its large ears erect, alertly listening to the surrounding noises.

It found it a bit strange that, despite the abundance of fresh grass and tender buds nearby, there were no other herbivores, which it usually saw, in sight—only a few birds were warbling atop the trees.

Oh, and there were also squirrels and tree shrews.

However, it was so hungry that, even though it felt something was off, it couldn't bother too much and continued to occasionally lower its head to gnaw on the buds.

Suddenly, a slight tremor transmitted through the ground. The ever-vigilant deer immediately sensed the danger and sprung up like a spring, darting to the side.

A huge shadow burst forth from the ground, shrubs were flung into the air, and the deer along with the soil were swallowed in one gulp.
