"Wow, the Intelligence Shop is offering one free piece of intelligence today, its opening day!"
"Seriously? If that contains high-level intelligence, wouldn't that be awesome?"
"Not necessarily. The higher the level of intelligence, the higher the risk might be. But since these are all initial shops, getting even a Gray Intelligence is already the limit!"
"That's true, but I'm the Emperor of Luck! I got a Green Intelligence, ha, isn't that irritating?"
"Brothers, I'm a Maggot. The intelligence says there's a pile of high-level Magical Beast dung a hundred meters in front of me. Should I go... sob sob sob!"
Closing the chat channel, Qin Feng couldn't help but silently mourn for three seconds for the brother who had become a Maggot.
"Suddenly, I feel like being a Lizard is pretty good. At least it looks cool!"
Afterward, Qin Feng opened his Storage Backpack. As expected, it was cleaner than his own face.
He opened the last Intelligence Shop, and sure enough, it offered one free chance for the opening day.
[Intelligence Shop Lv1 (0/10): Updated daily. One free use today.
Probability: White 75%, Gray 24%, Green 1%.
1: White Intelligence, Price: 10 copper coin
2: White Intelligence, Price: 10 copper coin
3: Gray Intelligence, Price: 50 copper coin
Current Funds: 0 (Obtained by selling Adventurer equipment, corpses, or Magical Beast corpses, etc.)]
Without hesitation, Qin Feng chose the most expensive Gray Intelligence, but his Talent immediately gave him a pleasant surprise.
[Free use successful. First draw guaranteed success. Triggered Intelligence Specialist: Green Intelligence +1]
[Green Intelligence +1: Generates a random piece of intelligence within five kilometers of you. The intelligence level is assessed based on profit, profit ratio, threat level, involved status, and other aspects. Must be opened carefully!]
"Although greater profit means higher risk, this world never lacks gamblers. How can a child cry every day, and how can a gambler lose every day? All in!"
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng used his Talent on it, as it was the highest level of intelligence he could obtain today.
[Activated Intelligence Specialist; Enhancement successful: blue intelligence +1]
[blue intelligence: Generates a random piece of intelligence within ten kilometers of you.]
"Hiss~ Come on, show me what you got!"
Looking at the intelligence scroll glowing green in front of him, Qin Feng took a deep breath and chose to open it.
[Opened successfully: A growing Mountain Wolf (Approximate Comprehensive Combat Power 310) was defeated and seriously injured by an Adventurer. It is currently licking its wounds in a cave 5 kilometers ahead and to your left, and is not expected to live much longer. (Blue)]
"What does this mean? It's asking me to loot a corpse? Am I that kind of person... Lizard? Even as a Lizard, I have human dignity."
[Satiety -5%]
Suddenly, Qin Feng felt a wave of hunger from his stomach, and he immediately changed his mind.
"I can't just abandon food for the sake of dignity, right!"
Qin Feng discovered that the Intelligence Scroll didn't immediately disappear after being opened; instead, it was stored in his mind.
Every time he opened it again with a thought, the scroll would display the location pointed to by the intelligence.
"But I still need to be careful. It would be terrible if I ran into those vicious Adventurers."
"The most important thing is to quickly find a reference point to see how big I actually am and if I can crawl there before tonight!"
Yes, from his current perspective, although he knew he had turned into a Lizard, he still wasn't sure exactly how large of a Lizard he was.
Qin Feng attempted to crawl toward the brightly lit cave entrance and found that there seemed to be an Adaptive Function; the awkward feeling of crawling quickly disappeared.
The cave entrance was well-lit, and the outside world seemed to be in broad daylight. After slowly passing through the Cave Dwelling, his vision suddenly cleared.
In his line of sight, rugged mountain ranges stretched continuously.
Lush, verdant Primeval Forests dotted the landscape, and in the distance, the fluctuating chirps of insects and roars of beasts could occasionally be heard.
Even the mountain breeze blowing toward him was imbued with the scent of freedom.
After pausing to observe for a moment, Qin Feng suddenly noticed a flying bird with cyan feathers and a sharp, weapon-like beak flying towards him. His heart immediately jumped, and he darted into the forest ahead.
"Hiss~ That was close, I almost got ambushed. That must be a Swift Wind Sparrow!"
Hiding under an exceptionally thick tree trunk, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Swift Wind Sparrow fly away.
Whoosh~
The next second, a massive Black Eagle swooped down from the sky, effortlessly snatched the Swift Wind Sparrow, and swallowed it whole.
Whoosh~
The Black Eagle came and went quickly, like a supercar speeding down the highway, vanishing from Qin Feng's sight in the blink of an eye.
"That eagle is clearly a higher-level Magical Beast. Sure enough, the Law of the Jungle prevails!"
Qin Feng sighed, understanding that his current, extremely weak self needed to be even more cautious.
Comparing himself to the surrounding trees and weeds, as well as the Swift Wind Sparrow and the Black Eagle he had just seen, Qin Feng drew a conclusion.
His body size must belong to the smaller creatures in this world!
If his estimation was correct, he should be equivalent to a slightly larger Lizard on Earth, about twenty centimeters long.
"Calculated this way, although the 5-kilometer journey is difficult, it's not impossible. The most important factor is the danger I might encounter along the way!"
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then cautiously crawled toward the target direction.
Rustle~
Rustle~
Sunlight filtered through the lush leaves, scattering spots of light onto the forest floor.
Qin Feng tried his best to avoid these conspicuous spots of light, traveling beneath the weeds and decaying leaves.
However, some weak Magical Beasts had the same idea as him. After Qin Feng traveled for a while, he encountered a Brown Scorpion blocking his path.
"The great river flows eastward?"
"Imperial Court Jade Liquid Wine?"
"Earthquakes shake the mountains, a scene of green hills for eternity?"
Just as Qin Feng was trying hard to match the secret codes, the Brown Scorpion opposite him shook its tail, its eyes fixed intently on the Lizard in front of it.
"What is this gibberish? Just come over here and let me sting you, and it'll be over!"
"I almost forgot scorpions can't talk."
Suddenly realizing this, Qin Feng immediately raised a hand to gesture something, then opened the Chat Channel.
"Scorpion brother, can you see this? I'm the Lizard in front of you. Can you let me pass?"
"I see it, brother, go ahead, I'll let you pass!"
"I knew there were still more good people out there."
Seeing the message in the Regional Chat, Qin Feng's face instantly lit up with joy.
Looking up, the Brown Scorpion indeed cleared a path, signaling Qin Feng to pass.
"Thanks, brother!"
Qin Feng quickly moved forward, but the next second, an unexpected change occurred: the Brown Scorpion unscrupulously extended its tail.
"I might not understand bestial nature, but how could I not understand human nature? I was waiting for this!"
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and he immediately activated his only Initial Skill.
Black Scale Protection!
The next second, a layer of hazy gray sheen covered the dark scales.
Thud~
The scorpion tail struck heavily. The stinger hit the solid Black Scales, resulting in a burst of sparks like metal colliding, but it only left a dent and failed to pierce the Black Scales.
Qin Feng immediately twisted his posture, leaped up, and pressed down firmly on the Brown Scorpion's body like Mount Tai Descending, extending his head to bite its face.
Tear~
Tear~
The Brown Scorpion was pinned underneath, unable to move. Its stinger failed to pierce the Black Scales repeatedly, and its facial organs, including its eyes, were quickly mutilated by Qin Feng's bites.
