I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 5: A girl with blue bunny ears.

“Ding! Tame able creature detected. Do you want to tame it?”

The tamer system sounded.

Suddenly, Mu Liang felt that the color-changing ability of the small lizard was pretty good.

Moreover, today’s taming point had been refreshed, so he was already able to tame the second animal.

He would get 10 taming points after 12:00 AM each day.

Mu Liang gave the order, “Tame the small color-changing lizard.”

“Ding! Level 0 life – Chameleon lizard detected. Taming…”

“Ding! Consumed 10 taming points, taming successful.”

The chameleon glowed with white light and stopped struggling. Instead, it shook its feet and paws comfortably.

After three seconds, the chameleon transformed into the size of a palm, and the scaly skin on its body turned into green, red, and blue stripes.

“Ding! Do you want to inherit the tricolored lizard talent: mimetic color change?”

“Inherit.” Mu Liang nodded.

“Ding! The talent, Mimetic color change is being improved…… Adaptation in progress…… Inheritance completed.”

Mu Liang felt a coolness on his skin, and a slight warmth appeared in his body which he wouldn’t have noticed if he didn’t feel it carefully.

“System, open the character profile.” Mu Liang felt like taking a look at his character profile to know if there were any changes.

…………

“All attributes have only increased a little bit. What about the tricolored lizard’s talent?”

Mu Liang used his ability ‘mimetic color change’, felt a slight coolness on his skin, and the light around his body shifted.

This whole process took almost a second.

Mu Liang looked around, and he discovered that his clothes, shoulders, and back had turned into an earthy-yellow color, just like the rock wall.

Ten seconds, one minute, ten minutes ……

He stayed still and tested whether there was a time limit for the ‘mimetic color change’.

Half an hour passed.

“It looks like this ability has no time limit for the time being.”

Mu Liang moved his arms and legs and found that his ability ‘mimetic color change’ stopped working, revealing his own color.

“It turns out that this discoloration is achieved by manipulating light. As long as I move, this mimetic color-changing ability will stop working.”

Mu Liang understood the advantages and disadvantages of the ‘mimetic color change’ ability.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but raise and he sighed: “This kind of ability is really very useful for hiding and sneak attacks.”

“Let’s go. You’ll be hiding around me.”

Mu Liang put down the lizard that he was holding in his hand.

This Level 1 – Tricolored lizard was not strong. It could only be kept by his side, like a pet for the time being.

The tricolored lizard looked at Mu Liang, quickly climbed up the rock wall, and followed him from a distance.

As long as it stood still, it would disappear from people’s sight.

“If it gained an ability to attack in the future, it might be able to become an Assassin’s Creed – Lizard.” Mu Liang thought with a wicked sense of humor.

He pulled out his military knife from the rock wall, put the dead lizard in his bag, and continued to search for prey.

This search lasted for more than two hours, and all he harvested were small lizards.

He did find a few poisonous scorpions and insects occasionally.

Mu Liang did not want to eat these things. However, it was not like he had any other choice.

“These are rat holes.”

Mu Liang found a few caves and looked at the footprints left at the entrance.

He planned to let the tricolored lizard enter the cave and drive the rats out.

Da Da Da ~~~

Mu Liang’s sensitive ears heard the sound of footsteps that were moving in his direction.

He quickly made a reasonable judgement, quickly leaned against the rock wall, and used ‘mimetic color change’ to hide.

In less than a minute, a familiar and a little unfamiliar figure appeared in his field of vision.

That figure was none other than Mino.

However, she seemed unfamiliar because she actually had a pair of long, blue bunny ears on top of her head.

“Chase after her. Don’t let her get away.”

“You’re dead. How dare you rob our prey?”

“Don’t let us catch you. We will definitely kill you.”

“……”

The four of them shouted, cursed, and chased after the young girl. They were holding bone blades, wooden spears, and other things in their hands.

“A bunch of shameless bastards.”

Mino also shouted angrily, “When did the prey caught in my trap become yours.”

The young girl was still cursing back as she ran. It was obvious that she was doing it with ease.

Mu Liang waited for the girl and the first three people to run past him.

Just as the fourth person was about to run past him, Mu Liang stretched his hand and grabbed his chin.

Then, using the inertia of the person running, he grabbed his head and pressed it against the ground.

“Click~~”

There was a soft sound, and his neck was twisted.

Since the fourth man’s mouth was covered, he couldn’t even make a sound before he died.

It took Mu Liang less than two seconds to deal with one person.

He got up and chased after the three people who hadn’t noticed him yet.

Mu Liang got rid of the next person by using the same technique.

The remaining two people did not hear the shouts, gasps, and running sounds of their teammates.

When they sensed that something was wrong, they immediately stopped and turned their heads to look behind them.

“Who are you?”

“What did you do to them?”

The two of them clenched their wooden spears and bone knives and shouted in panic

Mu Liang stopped. He was four meters away from them.

Mino also heard the shouts of the two behind her and curiously turned her head to look over.

“Eh???” The young girl opened her small mouth in shock. She did not expect Mu Liang to appear behind her.

She had already led the four of them away from Mu Liang’s direction, but they still encountered him in the end.

Mino shouted: “Mu Liang, run away.”

“So you guys are accomplices.”

When the two pursuers heard her shout, they immediately relaxed.

They were afraid to meet those hunters who specifically targeted scavengers.

“Let’s kill him first.”

The person holding the wooden spear took the lead, rushed forward, and tried to pierce Mu Liang’s chest with the wooden spear in his hand.

“……” Mu Liang nimbly dodged the wooden spear, used his inertia to close in, and hit that man’s chest with his elbow.

Click~~

The sternum of the man that was holding the wooden spear was broken as he flew backward. Then he laid on the ground and spat blood.

Originally, Mu Liang’s physical fitness was three times stronger than ordinary people’s.

Coupled with the strengthening of the rock tortoise, it had almost doubled.

If Mu Liang used a bit of strength, ordinary people would be no match for him.

“You are an enhanced……”

The person holding the bone knife was half a beat slower. His face was pale as he held the bone knife and stopped in front of Mu Liang.

He was neither advancing nor retreating.

“Mu Liang, dodge,” Mino shouted anxiously.

At this time, the young girl had already rushed over and kicked the person who was holding the bone knife.

Puff~~

The man with the bone knife was kicked to the ground. He was very frightened when he saw that his companion was spitting blood.

“You can’t kill me. I’m Boss Bloodbeard’s man.”

The person holding the bone knife immediately reported his background, hoping to intimidate the two of them.
