Zhao Meng was very surprised by the appearance of humans, he rarely encountered humans in the simulation.

Human involvement is only possible in new species that emerge as a result of human intervention.

For example, if you have simulated a folded ear cat, when simulating other animals, you will not encounter an animal like a human at all.

"I'm simulating a lizard this time, is it also a new species cultivated by humans?"

But Zhao Meng looked up and observed the surrounding environment, which was completely a tropical rainforest environment.

In the sand pit behind him, there are also small lizards that break out of their shells and keep crawling outward, which is completely a natural breeding environment.

"It's not normal!"

Looking at the human in front of him who was searching for something, Zhao Meng crawled his body and hid to observe these people

I saw that the skin of the four people was a tan, and there were not many clothes on their bodies, and they had been sleeping in the open for a long time, which made their skin feel shiny.

"It seems to be a race from a subcontinent in a previous life?"

The men were looking for something in the grass, moving away from the place where he was hiding.

Although the person disappeared, the vigilance in Zhao Meng's heart still did not decrease.

"What kind of intersection this animal will have with humans should be revealed later."

[In the second week, you lived with your siblings and avoided many dangers!] 】

Zhao Meng was surprised to find that this monitor lizard was living together in its juvenile state.

Although lizards have few natural predators when they become adults, and most of them act alone, as juveniles, there are not many natural predators in nature, and huddling together for warmth is a very good survival strategy.

"Those humans are still swaying!"

Zhao Meng saw what the four brown people were looking for in the forest again, and this time, Zhao Meng was basically sure what their identities were.

"Poachers!"

The four humans, armed with shotguns and some hunting tools, apparently went into the forest to poach.

He could hear the roar of tigers in the forest, and it was most likely for the sake of the tigers.

"So what do these four humans have to do with lizards?"

Zhao Meng still couldn't understand that he had traveled early, and he rarely paid attention to this news in his previous life, and he really couldn't think of what interests lizards had with people.

【In the third week, after continuous eating, your body has grown further. 】

Zhao Meng found that he had grown up a little, and he found that this Bengal monitor lizard was still different from ordinary lizards.

Compared with ordinary lizards, such as the chubby doo that I have encountered by chance in other simulations before, with folds and various bumps and even small spikes on the body,

The skin of this lizard is somewhat smooth, and the body is somewhat slim.

This form was the only one of the lizards he had encountered.

Faced with the appearance of this lizard, a word popped up in Zhao Meng's mind.

Qingxiu, that's right, Qingxiu.

"I guess I didn't grow up."

"When I grow up, I shouldn't be beautiful!"

[In the first month, due to the growth of size, food in the range of activities became increasingly scarce, and the young monitor lizards began to move to other areas. 】

"It's time to separate!"

Looking at the juvenile monitor lizards scattered in all directions, Zhao Meng shook his head slightly, chose a direction, and began to migrate.

Although it is still far from the adult body, the juvenile monitor lizard eats excessively in order to grow, and does not know how to be full, and the food crisis has been overwhelmed, and the sense of security brought by huddling together for warmth.

"Hey, these four humans have reappeared!"

Zhao Meng, who was hiding in the bushes, looked at the four strange humans,

"Sure enough, it's a tiger!" The four of them carried a huge tiger in one direction.

At this time, one of them seemed to hear something,

I saw a lizard that had just left the nest, crawling not far from the four of them.

Seeing the lizard, the four of them all exclaimed in surprise, muttering something in a language that Zhao Meng couldn't understand.

Zhao Meng, who was hiding in the bushes, saw this scene, and said badly,

Although he didn't know what those people were talking about, it still gave him a bad premonition.

"I can't stay in this place!"

[In the second month, after continuous eating, your body is growing rapidly. 】

"Comfortable"

Zhao Meng rubbed his body against the branch on the side, and a layer of skin on his body was shed.

Feeling that he was unrestrained and could continue to grow bigger, this comfort of breaking free from the cage wanted to make him feel the urge to scream.

Unfortunately, he spat out his tongue like a snake, where could he make a sound.

[The third month, eating, growing, and transforming]

"It's getting bigger again!"

At this time, Zhao Meng was lying on a tall branch, observing the surrounding environment.

As a Bengal monitor lizard that lives in the tropical rainforest, although it spends most of its time on the ground, it cannot do without the basic skill of climbing trees.

Especially for lizards that are still in their juveniles, it is even more important to go up to trees.

Although the Bengal monitor lizard is not strong in its ability to climb trees, with the blessing of Zhao Meng's human intelligence, it still uses the height provided by trees to avoid most threats.

[In the sixth month, your appetite increases dramatically, and you find a territory with more abundant food and continue to grow]

"It's boring!"

After half a year of growth,

Zhao Meng silently compared,

I found that my body was almost as long as two chickens from head to tail, and half a chicken in height.

Although it is not as large as the large mammals in the rainforest,

But with the exception of mammals, he is already the largest in the forest.

"It's already so old, and it's not even an adult?"

Zhao Meng bit the poisonous snake beside him in two, as if eating spicy strips, and ate it.

Thinking back to what happened in the past six months, Zhao Meng was a little bored.

"So far, I haven't found anything unique about monitor lizards!"

"It seems that it may not be easy to get a strange and unique entry on this monitor lizard this time."

Zhao Meng twisted his body and crawled along the riverbank, and as his body grew, he finally had the qualifications to operate in the water source.

[The seventh month, eating, growing, and transforming.] 】

"When will it breed?"

Zhao Meng muttered and looked at the reflection in the water.

At this time, his physique was close to that of an adult monitor lizard, but his delicate appearance did not fade because of this.

Although there are some folds and scales on his body that are unique to lizards, these new structures, with shallow traces, are closer to human skin.

"Speaking of which, the crawling movements of this Bengal monitor lizard actually look a little enchanting."

Looking at his crawling body on the reflection on the water, Zhao Meng thought of some kind of dance for some reason.

[In the eighth month, you are approaching adulthood, and instinct makes you feel an urge to move! 】

"It's finally here!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Zhao Meng stretched out his tongue and sniffed something,

Through his long, wet tongue, he finally felt something unique in the air.

"It's the smell of a female!"

"In this direction."

Zhao Meng quickly crawled in the direction where the smell came from, he kept sticking out his tongue, and the taste that attracted him was getting closer and closer.

But just as he was about to approach his destination, he suddenly stopped.

"It's those four humans! How did they end up here! ”

Zhao Meng noticed a few humans hiding in the trees on the side,

By this time, the monitor lizards under the trees have gathered and begun their traditional competitive female activities.

For the few people in the tree, stimulated by hormones, no lizards paid attention, they only thought they were monkeys hanging from the trees.

But after Zhao Meng saw these four people, the vigilance in his heart was the highest,

Especially when one of them was seen pulling a rope that extended from the tree and into the bottom of the breeding area.

"It's a trap!"

"The purpose of these people is to monitor lizards!"

Zhao Meng, who has simulated a large number of animals, understands that the breeding season is the easiest season to attract predators and predators.

But he could never have imagined that the natural predators attracted by this breeding season turned out to be humans.

"That's not right."

"Humans are the natural enemies of all animals!"

"In the past, when other animals were simulated, humans were not introduced, but this time the simulating monitor lizard actually introduced humans, which is very abnormal."

"There should be other reasons."

Just when Zhao Meng was puzzled, the person on the tree finally moved, only to see the person pulling the rope suddenly jumped down from the tree,

Pulled by its own weight, the rope goes around the branches, like a primitive pulley, pulling things out at the other end in an instant.

As Zhao Meng expected, it was a trap.

Some of the lizards that had just won and were breeding with their mothers were caught by a giant net that suddenly appeared under the ground, and the lizards were swept away.

"These humans!"

Although he is a human being, seeing this kind of destructive hunting during the breeding period, Zhao Meng's heart showed disgust.

Zhao Meng, who has simulated many animals, has long since lost his heart as pure as it was at the beginning, and it is a natural principle to survive the fittest.

But this kind of hunting during this breeding period, so that lizards cannot reproduce, and the way of digging out the roots is completely exterminating an animal.

"Looks like we're going to have to go somewhere else!"

Zhao Meng looked at those tan people, running under the net and cheering something, Zhao Meng turned around and was about to leave.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the four men took out a female lizard from the net.

Zhao Meng originally thought that these people were going to skin them, or kill lizards so that they could be taken away.

But what happened next was unforgettable.

"This ......"

"What are they doing here?"

"How can such a thing be done?"

"Human, lizard...... It turned out to be ......"

Zhao Meng didn't understand, but was shocked. At this moment, he finally understood why simulation was introduced to humans.

"I see!"

……

Zhao Meng retreated silently, he needed to recover his mental state,

[In the second week of the eighth month, you have fully entered the breeding period, and your instincts drive you to be active. 】

"What a pervert who never disperses!"

Zhao Meng saw that the four humans were squatting in the breeding area of a monitor lizard, and there was a trace of malice in his heart.

"Again!"

The breeding ground lizard was caught again and the same thing happened again. Looking at the four human beings, torturing their own kind in turn, a thought arose in Zhao Meng's heart:

"It can't go on like this!"

Zhao Meng turned pressure into motivation, kept eating, and kept getting bigger.

[In the eighth month and three weeks, the breeding period is coming to an end, and you still have not obtained the permission to reproduce, and the accumulated hormones make you excited and irritable. 】

"Finally! There are no humans in this place. ”

Zhao Meng climbed to a hidden river bay area, where there were also some lizards exuding their own scent.

Zhao Meng carefully observed the surrounding environment and saw that there were indeed no traces of human beings.

Zhao Meng hurriedly rushed in. There are already some male monitor lizards fighting here,

And Zhao Meng, who has endured it for a long time, is very brave when fighting with these male monitor lizards.

He quickly used his wits and force to defeat his competitors and reach the unique source of the smell, a female lizard that was a circle smaller than him.

"Good!"

Looking at the female lizard who was obediently staying there, just when Zhao Meng was about to do something,

In the distance, there was a sudden faint rustling sound in the forest, as if something was approaching here.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Meng heard a grunting conversation,

Although he didn't understand what the language was, he was already extremely familiar with it.

"It's the humans!"

"Oops!"

Zhao Meng immediately came to his senses and wanted to escape,

But the next moment, with a bang, a large net flew from a distance, enveloping him and the other lizards in the net.

In the face of the huge net on his body, he did not panic, and moved slowly, trying to escape:

"It's strange, I've already detected that there are no humans nearby, why am I still ambushed!"

"What went wrong?"

At this time, four figures came from a distance, looking at the things they were carrying, Zhao Meng suddenly understood something:

"I see, it's the same kind that exposes this position!"

"I'm out of luck."

The thing in the hands of those men was the male monitor lizard he had just defeated.

The monitor lizard had already been killed at this time, and Zhao Meng speculated that the monitor lizard happened to encounter these poachers in the process of escaping.

As an experienced poacher, it would be a kind of dereliction of duty to fail to judge the logic of the prey's behavior by the traces of their activity.

Therefore, these poachers are most likely looking for the path of this male and found here.

"I didn't expect that such a hidden breeding ground was discovered."

At this time, among those people, there was already one person who ran over with a rolling belt, quickly tightened the net cast, and Zhao Meng still couldn't climb out in the end.

……

Looking at the female lizard taken out of the net pocket, although Zhao Meng hadn't done anything yet,

Thinking of what would happen to his loot next, at this moment, Zhao Meng finally realized a trace of pain from those bitter masters in reality.

"Well, it's just a simulation."

Zhao Meng muttered, and then a sharp blade pierced into his body, and he felt that something in his body had been taken away.

Looking at the person who killed him, holding the things taken from his body, and dancing there with joy, Zhao Meng slowly lost his consciousness,

"As long as these humans exist, they will cause a lot of disruption to the simulation!"

"Next time I simulate, I'll have to find a way to get rid of them."

"Even if you can't get rid of it, these strange people, their behavior, there must be an internal logic, and you have to find this logic."

"It's a pity that I didn't finish breeding this time, and I can't see the entry."

With regret, Zhao Meng ended the simulation.
