Chapter 107: The Tablelifter
21 per cent for option I, 73.7 per cent for option II and 5.3 per cent for option III.
……
[Option 2]
[Large rocks located in the rubble, often with large organisms]
……
Zheng Zhuo finally settled on a large rock in the rubble. He had seen rock sheep and wild dogs congregating around it.
A smaller marmot is worth 45 points, while a larger antelope is worth 70 points. If you extrapolate from the size alone, it is clear that hunting larger creatures will accumulate the points needed to evolve faster.
Zheng Zhuo flowed into the shadows beneath the large piece of gravel, and slowly followed the gap between the gravel to the largest large rock.
Several hideous-looking wild dogs were lying near the large rocks. Seeing Zheng Zhuo approaching from the shadows, they pricked up their ears vigilantly, and then, standing up, ran away.
The wild dogs left. Their vigilance took away more of the creatures that had gathered nearby. Zheng Zhuo hid himself under the big rock while listening to the sound of the animals around him knowing Su Su's departure.
Some of the food left. But Zheng Zhuo was not in a hurry.
He knew that more food would soon be gathered.
……
Zheng Zhuo hid under the big rock. He clung to the cold rock, and in a few moments the rock began to warm up.
A moment later.
Da, da, da.
In the distance, the sound of hooves falling between the gravel could be heard.
Four rock sheep approached the warm, large rock. They circled around the boulder a few times, looking down from time to time to sniff and sniff.
Later, it was the first rock sheep to jump on the big rock. It spun around the big rock a few times and lay down comfortably.
This was followed by the second horse.
The third horse.
Fourth......
There is no fourth horse.
Three rock sheep lay comfortably on the big warm rock. And the fourth rock sheep that came with them did not know where it had gone.
For a moment, a small section of a rock sheep's hoof appeared to be visible from the bottom of the large rock.
But the hoof was quickly dragged into the darkness. Soon, there was nothing to see.
Twittering.
The resting rock sheep provide a signal: it's safe here. Some birds chirped in small pieces and fell towards the big rocks. Wild dogs prowl beside large rocks. Occasionally, deer will appear and lie on the rocks.
It's all hordes of creatures. When they arrive and leave, there are always a few fewer in between.
Almost no animals have found their companions missing.
This hunt is swift and efficient.
……
A wild dog bows its head next to a large rock.
It sniffed the smell of cooked meat, and squeezed its nose into the crevices under the large rocks.
And then.
The gentle temperature stroked its head and face.
This was followed by a piercing pain.
His mouth and nose were gagged, and he couldn't make the first scream. Then, the toxins that can paralyze the nerves completely isolate all subsequent call signs.
To the other animals outside, the wild dog had just struggled into the crevice beneath the big rock, like many other animals before it.
However, if an animal tries to look closer, they will find that there is no space under the large rock that is large enough for a wild dog, a rock sheep, or any other creature to burrow.
……
[Points:280]
The number of points has reached a new whole number. Zheng Zhuo nodded in satisfaction and threw the leftover wild dog bones out of the back of the big rock.
Bones, bones.
The skull bounced twice between the cracks in the rocks, rolling far to the lower ground.
"It's easier to set up an ambush than to take the initiative. Well, make a note of that modality. ”
"There are still 20 points left to evolve. What's next? Rabbits? Rats are not bad either...... There are a lot of rats around here......"
Knock knock.
The wild dog skull, which was thrown far below by Zheng Zhuo, fell between a pile of bones.
"It's all 20 points."
Knock knock.
The skull stopped. After a while, though, it bounced slightly.
"Why don't you catch them all? You should be able to catch it at the same time—"
Knock knock.
With a soft sound in the earth, the skull bounced again.
"-Okay."
Knock knock.
A massive, dirt foot crushed the dingo's skull.
"Catch—"
All of a sudden.
Boom!!
In the rocky community, the birds flew in fright. Countless animals jumped from the large rocks and sprang into the distance in a panic.
Zheng Zhuo suddenly felt a part of his field of vision brighten.
Having just stuffed a mouse and a rabbit into his belly, he turned around...... Rather, focus your attention on the newly lit areas.
Gravel and soil sand fall.
The big rock was lifted.
Lifting the rocks was a huge humanoid monster made of dirt and moss.
"What-"
A hundred Zheng Zhuo stacked up, not as tall as a single toe of a monster. The monster had wrists thicker than towering trees, and its jaws were as thick as the boulder he had just lifted. Its eyebrows and cheeks were made of dirt, and they were so thick and protruding that it was impossible to see its eyes.
It picked up the boulder with just one hand. And in the other hand held a bloody deer, nibbling on it.
……
【Identification:】
【Mountain Giant】
……
“…… Mountain Giants ......"
Zheng Zhuo looked at the giant in front of him and spit out the bones of the mouse and rabbit from his body.
After coming to this world, the animals I saw were all strange, but [identification] said that they were ordinary creatures. This gave Zheng Zhuo the illusion that it was "just a variant of the real world".
However, he now knows how wrong this delusion is.
"This guy is just passing by...... Probably not. ”
Roar- ah-
The wind is howling. The mountain giant slammed the boulder down towards Zheng Zhuo.
And Zheng Zhuo can't avoid it at all.
Bang!
The boulder slammed into the uneven ground. With a terrifying sound, the boulder cracked into several pieces. The earthquake trembled, and stone chips were scattered.
Zheng Zhuo was smashed! His eyes went dark—
It's not because of the pain.
His eyes were dark because the rubble was blocking his view.
Physical attacks do not damage him at all. He moved, and flowed out of the rubble.
"Ouch, did you enter the territory of the Mountain Giant?"
Seeing it eating the deer, I guess it was angry when he found other predators in his territory while hunting.
"Hurry up, hurry up and slip away-"
Bang!
Another blow.
This time, the mountain giant smashed a punch at Zheng Zhuo's location. The gravel beach doesn't do any harm to it at all. Wherever the punch passed, the sharp rocks in the gravel beach were reduced to powder.
It's a pity that Zheng Zhuo still can't be hurt in the slightest. Because he's just a fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
But in this way, Zheng Zhuo couldn't leave. The frenzied mountain giants kept hammering Zheng Zhuo's location, and the turbulence brought by the shock and fist wind shook Zheng Zhuo to jump around.
"Huh?"
Zheng Zhuo was trapped in front of the mountain giant.
The other party couldn't help Zheng Zhuo, but he didn't plan to let him go.
“…… All right. ”
This must be fought. The next time the mountain giant threw his fist, Zheng Zhuo ignited it.
However.
"Extinguished?"
Those mosses are just decorations on the mountain giants! Its body is made entirely of dirt, and the flames only harden it, but it can't hurt it.
What is the point of the mountain giants? Zheng Zhuo looked between his fists.
Sure enough, like other creatures, do you want to burn along your mouth and nose......
But how do you get to its nose and mouth?
"Not to mention flying over, it's hard to even move in this posture that is entangled with me now...... Wait a minute. ”
In the sound of "bang", Zheng Zhuo opened the [interface].

There was the evolution that could be chosen.
One option has been seen before, and the other two options, Zheng Zhuo has seen for the first time.
……
【Question】
