Chapter 24

When I had gotten an idea 5 hours ago, the first thing I thought of in the spur of the moment was the question, 'how did humans survive for so long?'

While yes, they might not have needed to survive through a Triassic period with dinosaurs and enlarged insects, they were still capable of living through the extremes of the world's climate as well as becoming capable of hunting animals much bigger than them until they eventually became the beings at the top of the food chain.

The key to all of this was their intelligence which was superior to every other species on the planet as well as the sweat glands that allowed them to run for much longer periods compared to the cat species or the dog species who could not recuperate their stamina while running away or towards something, causing them to take breaks and halting their attacks due to being exhausted.

I knew that, while I might not be the most intelligent person in the world, I was more intelligent than these beasts that worked purely on instincts therefore easily being able to outsmart them in situations like these where-...

*ROAR*

Before I could even process what had happened, the smell of the blood and organs that had splattered everywhere had already wafted into the noses of other beasts nearby, causing them all to simultaneously roar whenever the smell would reach them.

Without thinking twice, I dropped the stick and instantly bolted in a random direction that the roars had not come from.

For the next half an hour, I ran with extreme caution, making sure that I did not make too much noise as I avoided every living organism within the forest, but after a while, I finally looked at the screen that had been urging me to look at it for the last half an hour, yet when my eyes landed on it, I could not help but widen my eyes in surprise.
