It was raining lightly outside the window.
Garen stood in front of the window with a cup of hot coffee.
On the big bed behind her, the girl named Lala was lying on the bed rubbing her head, still a little delirious.
"Are you awake?" Garen looked back at the big bed. This girl named Lala ran here with a clear purpose, obviously to get his protection. But he still has his own things to do, and being by his side is not much safer than being outside.
Lala got up halfway from the bed, Garen's clothes on her body hadn't been touched, and she was still in the same dirty and messy dress.
She looked at her whole body for the first time, and found no trace of being violated, so she was relieved. Then his eyes fell on Garen by the window.
"Thank you for saving me again." Her voice was a little hoarse, obviously she had a cold. "If it wasn't for you last time, we would have died on the road outside the city."
"I always need something in return. I saved you twice, so what is your reward?" Garen looked at her calmly. "Any behavior that you want to get, naturally has to consider the price. There is nothing in the world that you can get without paying a price. Don't you think so?"
"I understand." A gleam of understanding flashed in Lala's eyes, "But I am a weak woman, what else can I give you? Perhaps, what do you want from me?" She spoke clearly, It's clear.
"The hygiene and cleanliness in this house, the daily affairs, are very simple requirements. The condition is that I will provide you with shelter and food, how about it?" Garen replied lightly. "And as a physiologically normal man, seeing a beautiful and pure young girl in my house makes me feel good." He said frankly.
Lala lowered her eyes: "Your request is very reasonable. I am willing to trade my work for my own safety and food. You are a good person to be able to control your desires under such solitary conditions, and to respect a soft girl so much. "
"Good guy?"
Garen couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hands and looked at his flawless white palms. These hands were stained with blood. They were innocent and deserved. Maybe it was just a dispute between emotions, but that's how life is.
He came back to his senses and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I'm glad to have a sensible companion of the opposite sex, but I would like to remind you in advance that there are many places in this house that are your restricted area. You'd better not go in and out. If you want to go out, please write to me. I will Arrange. Medicines by your pillow, and by the way, this is the first time I've cared for someone other than my family."
"I'm honored." Lala finally smiled easily. Seeing Garen walk out of the room calmly, she was also greatly relieved that her aunt had safely entered the inner city. Overnight, it seemed that the whole world collapsed, countless monsters killed people around, familiar and strange, too many lives were killed under her own eyes.
"Sufficient food, sufficient safety, warm quilt" Lala has never felt that these things that are usually available are so precious.
Garen walked out of the guest bedroom, straightened his collar, and returned to his master bedroom.
Standing in front of the changing mirror, he looked at himself.
A layer of short hair has grown slightly on the bald head, and the eyebrows have also grown a little trace under the action of the powerful blood. Compared with the original handsome cream guy, he has a more fierce temperament.
He was wearing a white inner shirt and trousers, and a gray robe and cloak on the outside. As long as he put on the hood and lowered his head, no one would be able to tell who he was.
He opened the closet, rummaged through it, took out a set of off-white inner shirts to change into, and then put on a set of black leather armor prepared in advance one by one.
Two round shoulder armor, elbow pads, knee pads, leg armor, leather boots, then a helmet, breastplate.
Replace them all, and the people in the mirror will look similar to the city guards of Titan City.
After thinking about it, Garen took off his helmet and put on a gray robe outside.
"This is much better." He looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction.
The gray robe completely covered up the leather armor, but it only gave people the impression of a burly figure.
"Next, let's see what my little ones are doing." He focused on the attribute bar.
'Power 2.66. Agility 2.72. Constitution 2.76. Intelligence 2.53. Potential 632%. Possess the qualification of silver lamp master. '
6 potential points.
Garen narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at the totem bar, and the number of parasites had dropped to five, obviously consumed after another battle.
"Let's let the blue-backed lizard evolve first. The chances of three types of evolution are too low."
He had a thought.
Soon the door was slightly arched open, and three blue-backed lizards slowly crawled into the room, and the last one closed the door under Garen's control.
This kind of dark blue monitor lizard generally lives in the desert. It is extremely resistant to hunger and thirst, and its own vitality is very strong.
Garen squatted down, reached out in front of the three monitor lizards, and stroked their heads.
"From now on, you will be No. 3. Fukasawa Giant Crocodile is No. 2. It will be easier to identify this way. Let's save you and evolve first."
His eyes fell on the icon of the blue-backed lizard, and soon, the three-point potential value jumped and disappeared.
The No. 2 blue-backed monitor lizard trembled all over, and suddenly the whole body trembled violently, as if something was shaking violently in its body.
Sigh.
No. 2 let out a painful neighing sound. Its body was growing rapidly, from more than one meter, to two meters, three meters, four meters, five meters! !
The height also increased from more than ten centimeters to twenty centimeters, thirty centimeters, fifty centimeters, and more than one meter! !
Its skin had begun to turn a brassy yellow, and the teeth in its mouth had grown into lips.
The whole monitor lizard looks more and more like a crocodile.
Between its four legs, another pair of short legs grew out, turning into a six-legged creature. There is also a row of fine spikes on the back.
The most eye-catching thing is its eyes, which have changed from the original emerald green to white without any impurities, and there seems to be no pupils.
The change of this monitor lizard frightened the two blue-backed monitor lizards nearby. They hid to avoid the growing size of No. 3, and sighed in horror.
Standing in front of the transformed monitor lizard, Garen felt that this guy was like a legendary ground dragon, capable of swallowing a creature of his size in one bite.
He looked at the totem icon in his vision. The icon of the blue-backed monitor has changed.
'Evolutionary monitor lizard (unnamed): Blue-backed monitor lizard evolved into the first type, the second form of biological totem. It can be improved, and the success rate of evolution is 34%. Potential points consumed: 500%.
Abilities: Petrifying Gaze (any hostile creature that meets his gaze will be damaged by petrifying light), rapid burrow. '
"Petrified stare?" Garen noticed the eyes of this evolutionary monitor lizard, the pure white eyes had a faint green light.
"Renamed the Petrified Monitor."
He changed the name of the totem, and then carefully looked at the reluctant petrified monitor lizard.
The basilisk was lying on the floor of the room, lazily motionless, like a brass statue.
Garen walked around it and touched its skin with his hand. It was very rough and hard, like hardened leather, with a hint of warmth.
He pulled the sharp spines on the back of the petrified monitor lizard. They were very hard, like an awl, and they arched out of the skin one by one, forming a vertical line from head to tail.
"Go out and hunt once and show me." Garen gave an order and opened the door.
The petrified monitor lizard slowly crawled out of the door, moving extremely slowly, like a seventy or eighty-year-old old man, with a bulging belly almost hanging on the ground and dragging. The six soles of the feet made a crackling sound.
Garen shook his head speechlessly.
"Concealment is not enough, use the fastest speed!" He issued an order.
The petrified giant lizard immediately accelerated, and it could be seen that it was really desperately moving forward with six short legs, but its speed was at best comparable to that of a turtle.
"This speed!" Garen had the urge to hide his face. "Melee combat is to deliver food to people!"
After leaving the villa with the petrified monitor lizard, Garen came to the backyard, where there was an unfinished one-horned monitor lizard corpse.
"Attack the corpse!" Garen ordered.
The yellow petrified monitor lizard struggled to climb five meters away from the corpse, staring at the corpse with both eyes.
Silently, the body from the bottom to the top began to rapidly change into grayish-white stone, and the spreading stone continued to make crackling sounds.
Three seconds later, the corpse suddenly turned into a complete stone statue.
The petrified giant lizard spit out its red core, showing no signs of fatigue.
Only then did Garen feel a little relieved.
"Petrified monitor lizards are only suitable for defensive sneak attacks, they simply cannot keep up with the speed of other creatures."
ah! !
Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the front of the gate.
As soon as Garen stepped on it, he turned into a gray shadow and swept into the courtyard of the front villa.
Lala was standing at the door with her mouth covered, staring in horror at the huge black beetle passing by in the yard. The ferocious sawtooth mouthparts of this black beetle scared her enough. She leaned on the door frame and almost collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Garen appear, she trembled, fingernail bug.
"Bugs!! Monsters!! There are monsters!!"
"That's my little ones, don't be afraid." Garen waved the beetle out of sight,
After comforting Lala's emotions, Garen told her not to go out, otherwise it would easily attract monsters from outside. Fortunately, the smell of killed one-horned monitor lizards was all around the yard, which completely covered up the fact that Lala was alone in the villa. The smell of blood.
He looked at the remaining potential value, and the three points spent to evolve the petrified monitor lizard made him feel a little worthless. No matter how powerful the petrochemical ray is, it must hit the enemy. He doesn't plan to spend the remaining three points on the blue-backed monitor lizard.
The two blue-backed monitor lizards had already dug out the groundwater in the kitchen, or they turned around and dug through the groundwater. There is an extra well in the kitchen, and water is much simpler.
After placing Lala, Garen put on the hood of his gray robe and checked his belongings. "Time to check out the inner city. As long as you're careful, you should be fine."
