6: Chapter 6: Two days' worth of food gone just like that.

Lin Sheng stuck the branch by the lakeside and then flew back onto the tree.

He plucked a large handful of leaves from the tree, planning to use them to chum the water.

After scattering the leaves near the edge of the lake, he gripped the branch with both claws and took flight again, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

...

The fish in the lake were very curious about these suddenly appearing green things.

They could see these things every day just by looking up, but it was rare for them to fall into the water.

Watching the green things being continuously corroded by the lake water, a few fish couldn't contain their curiosity and swam closer.

Seeing that their kin encountered no danger, the surrounding fish followed suit one after another.

The fish took bite after bite, and soon, Lin Sheng's bait was almost gone.

Seeing the opportunity had arrived, Lin Sheng dove down, and the branch in his hand landed precisely on a Giant Fish nearly two meters long.

He didn't throw it this time but held onto the branch throughout, so the strike was extremely precise.

The Giant Fish in the water thrashed violently; seeing this, its kin were startled and fled the area.

As the Giant Fish struggled, lake water splashed everywhere, some landing on Lin Sheng.

Fortunately, it was still raining; as soon as the acid landed on him, it was washed away by the rain, so the damage Lin Sheng took was extremely limited.

Being in the water, the strength of the Giant Fish's struggle nearly made Lin Sheng lose his grip.

He shook the branch back and forth, trying to make the Giant Fish stop struggling.

However, doing so didn't help; instead, it made the Giant Fish's struggle even more violent.

His three pairs of wings, which could only be used for floating, were useless at this moment.

Seeing the Giant Fish struggle more and more fiercely, Lin Sheng simply threw his weight toward the shore.

Under the influence of this force, his body slammed onto the shore, but he still gripped the branch impaling the Giant Fish tightly.

Once he had firm Ground beneath him, Lin Sheng had a point of leverage.

He anchored himself to the Ground with his hind claws and heaved with his front claws.

"Splash!"

The Giant Fish traced a graceful arc through the air and landed not far behind Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng glanced at the Giant Fish behind him, his mouth curling into a grin.

Although the Giant Fish was now on land, it showed no signs of dying because of the heavy rain.

It was still thrashing about over there, trying to get back into the lake.

The Giant Fish wanted to go back, but Lin Sheng naturally wouldn't allow it.

He couldn't let the prey he had worked so hard to catch just slip away.

Lin Sheng kept twisting the branch stuck in the Giant Fish's body, trying to incapacitate it.

However, after only a few twists, the part of the branch inside the Giant Fish was actually corroded away.

Lin Sheng felt a bit surprised, but on second thought, he found it quite reasonable.

After all, the Giant Fish lived in acid, so it wasn't strange that its blood was corrosive.

Even though the branch had corroded and snapped, it didn't hinder Lin Sheng; instead, it helped him hunt this Giant Fish more effectively.

Lin Sheng gripped the branch with both claws and floated over to the Giant Fish's head, then raised his claws high and slammed the branch into its skull.

"Lue lue lue."

After a few screams, the Giant Fish stopped thrashing.

Lin Sheng hung this Giant Fish on a branch of his new home, then followed the same procedure, moving to another spot to continue hunting the Giant Fish in the water.

He moved from here to the opposite shore, and from there to the diagonally opposite shore, until the leaves could no longer attract the schools of fish, only then did Lin Sheng stop his hunt.

Returning home with the last Giant Fish, Lin Sheng looked at the five Giant Fish hanging on the branches, a human-like satisfied smile appearing on his Lizard-like face.

Including the one in his hand, there were six Giant Fish in total.

These six Giant Fish were his harvest for the day.

Among these fish, the smallest was over a meter long, and the largest was nearly three meters.

With these Giant Fish, Lin Sheng felt he had enough food for two days.

He hung the Giant Fish in his hand to the side and then pulled over the first Giant Fish he had caught.

This Giant Fish had been rinsed by the rain for the longest time, so the acid on its body was likely almost gone.

So, Lin Sheng planned to start his feast with this Giant Fish.

He held the Giant Fish up to his mouth to size it up, only to discover a rather awkward problem.

It seemed he would have a hard time swallowing such a large fish.

The diameter of the Giant Fish's body was much larger than the diameter of Lin Sheng's head; he felt that if he tried to force it down, he might get stuck.

But looking at what was a delicacy for his current self, Lin Sheng didn't want to give up at all.

He gritted his teeth and decided to go for it.

"Damn it."

"Take a risk and turn a bike into a motorcycle; take a gamble and turn a girl into a wife!"

"Let's do this!"

Lin Sheng's head was stretched taut, but miraculously, the Giant Fish was actually swallowed by him.

As soon as the Giant Fish entered his mouth, a sour taste flooded Lin Sheng's oral cavity; the sourness came and went quickly, soon replaced by a spicy sting.

The spicy taste lingered for a while, but it didn't cause any damage to Lin Sheng's mouth.

At most, it just made Lin Sheng gasp and hiss a couple of times.

evolution points +316

Hearing the notification of the incoming evolution points, Lin Sheng's eyes lit up.

A fish that wasn't even the largest yielded over 300 evolution points; if he ate all these fish...

He stared at the remaining five Giant Fish with glowing eyes, completely forgetting that this was supposed to be his food for two days.

Lin Sheng impatiently picked up the Giant Fish nearest to him, not caring if there was any residual acid on its body.

He opened his mouth wide and stuffed the Giant Fish right in.

With the experience from the first time, swallowing this Giant Fish was much faster.

evolution points +286

Oh, so this fish was smaller than the first one.

With two Giant Fish down, Lin Sheng couldn't stop.

Eating this stuff was much better than eating branches and leaves.

evolution points +336

evolution points +457

evolution points +301

evolution points +351

Lin Sheng lay leisurely on the tree trunk, patting his belly with lingering satisfaction.

"System, how many evolution points do I have now?"

[Ding]

[Host's remaining evolution points: 7418]

Hearing the System's reply, Lin Sheng felt very satisfied.

Today's hard work wasn't in vain.

Hunting fish for a few hours yielded two thousand Evolution.

This was much faster than eating leaves.

"Wait, that's not right!"

After lying down, Lin Sheng suddenly realized a problem.

These fish were supposed to be his rations for two days.

Now that all these fish had been eaten in one go, what was he going to do tomorrow?

It seemed he would have to go back to munching on leaves again.
