10: Chapter 10: The Clone is Wanted?

With the Perception talent, it felt like having a god's-eye view of the surroundings within ten meters. However, it was not limited to just that. Through Lu Zheng's observation, he learned that he could also vaguely perceive the aura of certain creatures or existences within fifty meters.

Just over forty meters away, a creature carrying the aura of evolution swam past.

The snake tail lashed out, and the massive snake body swam in a certain direction. Although the Clone's size had become extremely large, its speed in the water was not slow at all.

It quickly caught up, and what appeared before it was, surprisingly, a giant river shrimp.

"Shrimp?"

It was the first time Lu Zheng had seen a half-meter-long shrimp. The river shrimp noticed the giant python in front of it and swam away quickly to the side.

[River Shrimp] (Evolving)

[Rank]: First Rank Initial Stage

[Combat Power]: 8

Lu Zheng also noticed the river shrimp's attribute points and was surprised. He hadn't expected an evolved river shrimp to have a combat power reaching eight points.

It was two points stronger than the Strange Snake in its complete form.

However, the more this was the case, the more interested Lu Zheng became in this river shrimp. Perhaps he could extract a decent talent from it. Immediately, he opened his large mouth and lunged at the fleeing river shrimp.

"Bang!"

But the river shrimp's massive tail curled and slapped the water. A powerful force erupted, and the shrimp's speed reached an absurd level, instantly throwing Lu Zheng far away.

Watching the river shrimp, which had already become a black dot, Lu Zheng was somewhat dumbfounded, then opened his large mouth.

[Devoured a river shrimp, gained 5 energy points.]

Better to just develop honestly... Ordinary river shrimp are quite good...

Through this incident, Lu Zheng understood another principle: no creature that successfully evolves is simple, and to survive in Qianxing Lake until now, they must have their own unique skills.

He also guessed that the part of the river shrimp that evolved was likely its tail, and the tail was also an ability he needed. He would see if there was a chance to encounter this river shrimp again later.

Lu Zheng muttered in his heart, then handed control of the Clone over to the Clone itself, and his consciousness returned from the Clone to his main body. After such a long time, dawn was approaching, and he could not continue to stay in the Clone.

The Clone continued to devour in Qianxing Lake.

Lu Zheng on the bed slowly opened his eyes. The room had become a bit damp due to the rain, but he noticed the window to the side. He remembered that when he controlled the Clone to go out earlier, he didn't seem to have closed the window, but now the window was closed.

However, seeing that there was nothing unusual in the room, it seemed that someone in the family must have closed it for him.

Lu Zheng did not know that he had almost been exposed. Because Lu Wen had arrived in time, he had coincidentally avoided it, and at the same time, Lu Wen had not noticed anything unusual about her younger brother.

Lu Zheng then focused his attention on his own attribute panel.

[Main Body]: Lu Zheng

[Ability]: None

[Skills]: Digestion Enhancement, Perception

[Combat Power]: 9

[Spirit]: 5

Combat power was now nine. Lu Zheng was not surprised, after all, he had undergone one Fusion of talents and leveled up once. However, his Spirit had reached 5, which surprised Lu Zheng a little.

But he immediately realized that the Perception talent must be related to Spirit; otherwise, his Spirit would not have changed so much.

"Crack..."

He stretched his body, which made a cracking sound. This was because he couldn't control his powerful strength for a moment. As he gently got up, he only heard a tearing sound, and the clothes on his body were ripped apart.

Feeling somewhat helpless, it seemed he couldn't sleep tonight; he had to spend time properly adapting.

Lu Zheng stood naked in front of the mirror in the room, looking at his perfect body, and couldn't help but feel a bit proud. He seemed to have grown taller and become more handsome.

"I wonder if Qin Yao will be stunned by my handsomeness when I see her."

Lu Zheng muttered, and then he was eager to use the Perception skill. The Perception skill could be released at any time, but it consumed his own physical strength, and each duration was only three seconds.

"Use skill, Perception!"

Lu Zheng muttered in his heart. An invisible wave spread out from him, and everything around him appeared in his mind. However, he regretted it the moment he used it. After all, his sister was at home, and if he were discovered, it would be hard for his sister not to notice!

But it was too late to say anything now; the skill had already been released. And just as Lu Zheng had thought, in his sister's room, he perceived his sister lying on the bed.

His heart immediately tightened.

However, his sister didn't seem to notice anything unusual. Lu Zheng was stunned, and at this moment, the System's voice sounded: [The host only used a skill, not an ability. Using a skill will not be perceived by living beings.]

[If the opponent's strength far exceeds the host's, although they cannot detect whether the host has used a skill, they can judge the host's situation through the anomalies on the host.]

Lu Zheng suddenly realized that this was the same as his Digestion Enhancement; Digestion Enhancement could not be detected, and other skills could not be perceived either.

However, a look of abnormality immediately appeared on Lu Zheng's face, because on Lu Wen's table, he saw a message, which was, surprisingly, a wanted notice for an evolved creature named Black Snake.

Looking at the description above, Lu Zheng had a bad premonition. Could this Black Snake be his Clone?

His Clone was wanted???

Lu Zheng could only accept this reality. His own sister was actually going to hunt him down; where could he go to reason with that? But fortunately, the Clone was currently hiding in Qianxing Lake and should not be discovered.

However, Lu Wen's attributes also appeared before his eyes.

[Human Lu Wen] (Evolving)

[Ability]: Mind Control

[Rank]: First Rank High Stage (Breakthrough Period)

[Combat Power]: 18

"Sister has become stronger again; this is a good thing."

"It seems Sister is in the Breakthrough period."

Lu Zheng muttered, then thought of the Clone.

"But this is a bit bad for the Clone... Clone, bear with it a bit more; if you encounter Sister, don't care if you can beat her or not, run quickly."

And the next second, Lu Zheng seemed to see something he shouldn't have.

"Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper. My sin, my sin. I didn't do it on purpose, you two continue."

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Namo Amitabha, you villain, how dare you disturb my Dao Heart, you deserve to be slain!"

When he noticed the battle between the two people upstairs, both were fully exposed. You have to say, their skin was quite fair. Lu Zheng's old face flushed, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and said.

A moment later, he muttered: "One last time, one last time."

"Use skill, Perception!"

However, this time Lu Zheng was somewhat disappointed; the battle had already ended. He couldn't help but sigh: "A bit fast..."
