66.7 per cent for option I, 11.1 per cent for option two and 22.2 per cent for option three.

……

[Option 1]

【Dexterity】

Specifically: Movement speed is constant. But react faster and more flexibly during takeoff, landing, and steering.

……

"[Dexterity]!"

The points disappear quickly, and text appears on the interface.

In the furious fist wind of the mountain giant, Zheng Zhuo tried to take off again.

And this time, it's obviously different.

“……！”

His body became lighter, even though it was just a shadow.

Zheng Zhuo bounced off the ground. Stuck in the gap between fists, he jumped up a low height.

"It works!"

The second punch came.

"Uh——!"

Zheng Zhuo twisted his body. The reaction was much quicker than before—he managed to withstand the wind and slammed into the mountain giant's arm.

Roar......

The mountain giant let out a low roar and threw away the deer in his other hand. He stretched out his palm, which was covered with blood and fur, to twist Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo immediately slipped into the cracks of the mountain giant's dirt-made arms.

Boast!

The palm of the right hand slapped the wrist of the left hand, and the mud pieces collided with each other, making a loud noise. The mountain giant's wrist was dented by itself, but Zheng Zhuo was not hurt in the slightest.

He slid up the gap in the giant's arm.

Boast!

The mountain giant's fingers twisted towards Zheng Zhuo several times, but they only left deep fingerprints on his own arm.

Zheng Zhuo went all the way up.

Forearm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, jaw......

The Mountain Giant tucked his finger into the corner of his mouth. It tugged hard at its own face, tearing off a large chunk of dirt from its cheek.

And Zheng Zhuo flowed from the dirt to the mountain giant's finger, and jumped from the finger into its mouth.

Roar oh oh oh oh ......

The mountain giants let out an earth-shattering roar.

Zheng Zhuo entered the body of the mountain giant. This is the first time that Zheng Zhuo, who is unable to inflict damage on the Mountain Giant, has made the Mountain Giant feel a real threat.

At the same time, it was also the first time that a mountain giant who could not cause damage to Zheng Zhuo had caused real damage to Zheng Zhuo.

“…… Mutter......! ”

It was pitch black. All sides were filled with clay, fur, bones, blood, and slime of unknown composition. The stench of the animal carcasses squeezed Zheng Zhuo.

Even worse was the roar of the mountain giants.

The sound reverberated inside its body. Zheng Zhuo was dizzy from the shock.

"Enter...... Came in...... And then...... And then—"

The mountain giants went berserk. Is it because there is a foreign body in the body? It sensed threatened......

…… It means I'm in a position where I can threaten it.

"[Ignite]...... [Ignite]!"

Zheng Zhuo ignited. The flames exploded with a "bang".

The mountain giant's body contains a large amount of biogas, causing the flames to burn.

Moist clay constantly crumbles from the inner walls.

In the firelight, Zheng Zhuo saw a special rock glowing.

That rock was wrapped in layers of clay. After the clay peeled, it revealed its surface with golden streaks.

The rocks were like life, stirring in the firelight.

……

【Identification:】

【The Core of the Mountain Giant】

……

That's it!

Zheng Zhuo jumped in this narrow space and pounced on the core of the mountain giant.

Zheng Zhuo's toss made the mountain giant even more manic. It spat out sparks and black smoke from its mouth, stumbled and thumped itself, ran up to the top of the mountain, and rolled down the other side.

During this period, the endless loud noises and huge magnitude impacts made Zheng Zhuo's perception endure a great test. He couldn't tell anything, he just knew that he was constantly being hit and shaken.

But he grabbed the [Core of the Mountain Giant] and didn't let go.

"I don't believe you can digest a fire ......!"

The rest of the clay on the core is also starting to peel off. The mountain giant fell from the side of the mountain. It slammed into the ground, a hand and a foot shattered in the impact. Its body was no longer as hard as it had been, and its shoulders, chest, and abdomen had been shaved off one by one by the protruding boulders on the ground.

The mountain giants are still falling downward. As Zheng Zhuo pulled the [core] out of the clay little by little, its body began to shatter into more and more pieces.

In the end, the mountain giant was left with only the chest. It flew out of the rocks high up—

It fell to the ground and shattered in half.

Rustling.

The last part of the mountain giant shuddered, and there was no movement after that.

A moment later, fire oozed from the mountain giant's shattered chest.

Zheng Zhuo, whose body was wrapped in the huge [Core of the Mountain Giant], slowly flowed out of its chest.

……

Zheng Zhuo dragged the core, which was several times his size, and hid behind a nearby stone pillar.

He was so dizzy that he only felt that he had died many times.

But he hasn't lost sight of the urgency: eating.

"It's a big guy. It's a great loss to toss like this and not eat it......"

Therefore, even though the [Core of the Mountain Giant] was extremely difficult to be burned by the flames, Zheng Zhuo still refused to leave in the spirit of a thief...... The creed of thrift and thrift, and strive to digest it.

The part of the rock has no way of igniting at all. But Zheng Zhuo found that his current temperature could burn cracks on the surface of the rock, and then, evaporate the golden lines inside.

Those lines appear to be some kind of liquid, and can be turned into points.

"Excellent."

Zheng Zhuo burned the rocks little by little, squeezing out every drop of golden veins, and then vaporized them and melted them into his body.

The process is long and boring. Zheng Zhuo began to observe his surroundings between meals.

"I've fallen to the other side of the mountain."

In terms of conclusion, a lot of travel has been saved. The mountain giant climbed over the mountain as he fled, bringing Zheng Zhuo to the north of the mountain. Now, Zheng Zhuo is at the foot of the mountain to the north of the mountain.

The northern side of the mountain is different from the southern part of the mountain, which has only barren pastures, and there are many stone pillars and stone arches. And, take a closer look......

“…… Vertical chisel marks? ”

Zheng Zhuo found many straight chisel marks on the stone pillar where he was hiding.

There is no doubt that these pillars and arches were artificially carved.

"The rocks under your feet are also flat. Although it is covered in gray-black sand, you can feel that the terrain has been modified. ”

Zheng Zhuo looked around. The more he looked, the more it looked like a square at the foot of a mountain. At the end of the square, there are even traces of suspected stone roads leading into the distance.

And far away......

Some shadows could be faintly seen on the ground.

“…… City? ”

Those shadows are gray and lifeless inorganic things. It looks like an abandoned city.

"Topographically, it's likely to be seen in the golden space, the city where the locals lived before their transformation......"

Zheng Zhuo pondered. He took his gaze back, only to realize that the [Core of the Mountain Giant] had been burned by him at some point.

"Huh?"

Faster than you think. Zheng Zhuo opened the panel.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Kumquat)]

……

"Ahh

Fused a lot of the golden lines in the core, Zheng Zhuo's temperature increased as a result. His orange grew brighter and brighter, faintly turning to gold.

……

[Ability: Identification, Evolution]

[Evolved: Ignite, Venom, Dexterity]

[Points: 400]

[Optional Evolution: Power Core/Materialization/Territorial Awareness]

……

Then, the points provided by the mountain giants gave him another chance to evolve.

……

【Question】

Choose the direction of evolution. Which one to choose? 】

[Option 1]

【Power Core】

To be specific: condense a core in your own body. Action speed and reaction speed will be greatly increased. The core can be sent to different parts for different transformations. The core is located, and the temperature rises by two gears. The core will become a weakness. If the core is shattered, you will temporarily lose consciousness.

[Option 2]

【Materialization】

Specifically, you can consciously control the size and thickness of your body, allowing yourself to condense into entities of different shapes. After condensing to a certain thickness, it has a certain degree of physical attack ability.

[Option 3]

【Territorial Awareness】

Specifics: The approximate location of prey and powerful enemies within a radius of several kilometers can be detected.
