A sense of threat filled the air.

Coiled at the top of the big tree after having just experienced the upgrade to his eyesight, Ye Bei was able to identify the species of the eagle the very moment its dark shadow passed.

It was a Giant Eagle.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it was probably the mate of the eagle he had just killed.

It had a pair of ebony wings.

From Ye Bei’s angle, when the eagle spread its wings, the sky seemed to darken.

Its sharp claws looked like they could tear apart anything in its way.

It was almost twice the size of the previous eagle…

However, at that very moment, sitting atop the tree, Ye Bei didn’t feel any fear.

“I just ate the other eagle and gained 1000 evolution points! I’m currently 4850 points away from the next stage of my evolution. If I were to eat five eagles, I’ll be able to evolve immediately… with extra points to boot!”

Ye Bei’s mind was filled with many such calculations.

Having just completed the first stage of his evolution, he was confident that as long as the eagle came over, he would be able to kill it with his venomous fangs.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

The eagle charged towards him at breakneck speed.

One hundred meters… 50 meters…

Wait a minute!

Just as the eagle came within ten meters of him, Ye Bei’s eyes widened. He realized that the eagle’s talons weren’t aimed at his body at all. Instead, they were aimed toward the tree trunk!

“Is this guy really going to try to break the tree branch? Is he trying to kill me by having me fall off?”

That very scary thought suddenly entered Ye Bei’s mind.

But it lasted for a mere moment before dissipating.

“You are now my prey! Regardless of what happens, as long as you come near me, you will die.”

His eyes were filled with bloodlust.

He opened his mouth wide, and his fangs looked as if they could disintegrate everything in their wake.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Crash!

The Giant Eagle flew past, its wings producing a flapping sound in the wind. The next moment, it slammed its body into the tree trunk Ye Bei was coiled onto, and with a loud snap, the tree trunk broke.

Now was his chance!

At that moment, Ye Bei’s eyes lit up.

At the same time the tree trunk broke into two, Ye Bei violently smacked his tail against the tree trunk, and the force was strong enough to propel him up into the air.

Poof!

The Giant Eagle swept past, but Ye Bei was nevertheless about to land firmly on his back.

Hiss hiss…

Ye Bei immediately twisted his body and hurriedly coiled himself around the Giant Eagle while still allowing it space to flap its wings.

The Giant Eagle never imagined that Ye Bei’s reflexes would be this quick.

Upon being constricted by the snake…

The eagle knew its end had come.

With its heart filled with thoughts of revenge, it had no intention of landing on the ground. Instead, it flapped its wings as forcefully as it could and rushed high into the sky.

Flap! Flap! Flap!

Whoo! Whoo!

The eagle’s wings beat against the tree leaves in a cacophony of noise, and as it swiftly ascended into the sky, the sound of the wind rushed past Ye Bei’s ears.

“You’re courting death!”

Realizing that something was amiss, a strong murderous intent suddenly arose in Ye Bei’s mind.

His eyes turned crimson.

Ye Bei applied a huge force with his body, and the Giant Eagle sank a little in the air.

Hiss…

The next moment, Ye Bei opened his mouth and mercilessly sank his sharp fangs into the Giant Eagle’s neck.

Hiss…

As his venomous fangs tightened their hold on the Giant Eagle’s neck, the venom quickly spread throughout the Eagle’s body.

In merely two seconds, the Giant Eagle had lost all its strength and began to plummet at an alarming pace down towards the island.

Ye Bei maintained his death grip on the Giant Eagle’s body, so as to ensure that the eagle would shield him against the tree branches and cushion his fall.

Crash! Crash!

The impact of their fall caused many tree branches to snap.

Thud…

With the branches as a buffer and the Giant Eagle’s body as a cushion, when Ye Bei landed on the ground with a loud thud, he felt his body jerk violently before going numb.

“This really, really hurts!”

It felt as if his bones had shattered.

However, the Giant Eagle was in worse shape. Having cushioned Ye Bei’s fall, the eagle was now a bloody mess.

Gurgle gurgle…

What Ye Bei found unbelievable was the fact that although his body was in horrible agony, the moment he saw the fresh blood on the floor together with the Giant Eagle he had just killed, his stomach began to rumble again.

Hunger spread throughout his entire body.

He couldn’t restrain himself any longer.

Eating was of utmost importance now. The creatures he ate all accounted for evolutionary points!

Enduring the pain in his body, Ye Bei opened his mouth and bit down on the Giant Eagle…

As the Giant Eagle’s flesh disintegrated in his mouth, Ye Bei could distinctly feel a streak of pure energy gushing through his body, and the pain he had felt gradually faded away.

“D*mn! When I eat creatures, I can quickly recover from my injuries too?”

Ye Bei excitedly voiced his thoughts aloud as he ate.

“Dear Host, strictly speaking, as long as you don’t suffer a fatal injury, the ability gained from consuming creatures allows your body to heal rapidly! This healing ability is a gift from the System.”

The System explained in detail.

“This is good stuff…”

Ye Bei nodded his head.

As long as he ate, he would be able to heal any wounds he sustained. This was a pretty useful feature!

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

After obtaining his answer from the System, Ye Bei did away with courtesy. He consumed the Giant Eagle with his two sharp venomous fangs, creating a loud, crunching noise.

Bright red bloodstains covered the ground.

Similarly, the acrid scent of blood filled the air…

All the small animals that approached seemed to be frightened out of their wits and quickly withdrew.

Ten minutes later…

When Ye Bei had consumed the entire Giant Eagle, his evolution points increased by an impressive ten thousand. At the same time, he clearly felt that his physical fitness had improved tremendously again. However, his length and girth remained unchanged.

“This feeling that comes after eating is really awesome!”

Ye Bei muttered to himself as he lay on the ground, his injuries completely healed. All that was left at the “crime scene” was a pool of blood.

Rustle rustle rustle…

However, just as Ye Bei was about to enjoy the sensation of his increased strength, he suddenly felt a cold, ominous sensation of danger, and put up his defenses.

At the same time, a faint rustling sound could be heard.

Were enemies here?

Whoosh…

The very next moment, he coiled his lower body while erecting his upper body.

With crimson eyes, he glared at the source of the sound…

Then…

He clearly saw a tiger with white fur. The tiger enlarged its eyes, and with a merciless expression, slowly stalked towards him.

This tiger was completely different from any tiger Ye Bei had ever seen!

It had fangs that were more than ten centimeters long sticking out on both sides of its mouth, and they were coated with saliva.

It was at least three meters long, and it stood at least 1.5 meters tall… In Ye Bei’s eyes, this was the form of a monster!

“This tiger isn’t a mutant, is it?”

Ye Bei’s heartbeat sped up frantically. The image of the eagle he had just consumed suddenly appeared in his mind. Back then, he vaguely recalled the System having mentioned the word “mutant”!
