Evolution from the crocodile

The giant volcano seems very close, but in fact it is farther than imagined. Lu Chen spent another half a day flying thousands of miles and finally arrived nearby.

The mountain is unusually tall, far exceeding the highest peak in the previous life, and is ten thousand meters away.

The top was full of fire, and the black and acrid smoke billowed straight into the sky!

Surrounded by the surrounding mountains, it adds a bit of mystery.

Probably because the volcanic ash scattered during the big eruption is rich in nutrients, the trees in the surrounding mountains and forests are unusually tall.

In the nearby jungle, Lu Chen saw more lizard groups.

Seraphim didn't lie. The strength of these guys was almost at level 4.

Along the way, I saw only a few evolved into fifth-level ferocious beasts.

When they saw the Lizard King leading a strange reptile in their territory, they didn't even have the slightest suspicion. They didn't even ask where the lizard guards who followed His Highness Seraphim had gone.

Moreover, many of them are obese and have lazy postures. They stumble when flying and look very strenuous.

Lu Chen suddenly felt that they looked like a bunch of fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

That's right, it's a fat pig.

He completely understood that this space had been closed before and had never been invaded by foreign enemies. Since the departure of the alien dog-headed monks, the lizard tribe has changed its mind and become the aloof ruler.

There are no foreign enemies, life is comfortable, and there is no need to worry about food and drink.

Over the course of thousands of years, these guys have long lost their sense of worry and have been completely crippled.

That's why the Lizard King simply surrendered when he realized that he was defeated by Lu Chen. He even had the simple fantasy that as long as he handed over some of his spiritual stones, he could save his life.

Such a scene reminded Lu Chen of Pizarro, a certain bandit leader in the West in his previous life.

After this guy captured Inca King Atahualpa, he promised to let him go as long as he filled a room 22 feet long, 17 feet wide, and 8 feet high with gold.

The naive Atahualpa believed it completely and hurriedly filled the room with gold that his subjects continuously brought from all over the world.

He even filled two other rooms with silver as a show of sincerity.

There is no doubt that Pizarro still betrayed his faith and killed the opponent.

So...should I learn from this senior? Lu Chen felt a little hesitant.

When they passed a large river in the jungle, Lu Chen suddenly discovered a huge dam made of trees not far away. It was more than ten meters high and cut off the entire river.

Downstream of the river dam, there are many ferocious beasts busy with log tools, seemingly washing sand.

These guys look exactly like Blue Star's beavers, but they are many times larger.

It is about three meters tall, and its body is covered with a layer of fiery red hair, which looks extremely dazzling in the clear river water.

Their strength is even lower, and the highest Beast King is only at the third level.

What are they doing? Lu Chen asked curiously.

Your Majesty, these inferior four-legged beasts are called red-haired beavers, and they are servants of the dragon clan. They usually look for gold in the rivers for us.

Gold...are they digging for gold? Lu Chen asked curiously: What use does gold have to your lizard tribe?

Gold is very useful, and our entire dragon clan likes it very much. There is a pyramid built in my palace, which is filled with gold treasures. Seraphim said proudly.

That demeanor, that expression, definitely a nouveau riche.

After listening, Lu Chen was a little speechless.

These guys are really useless.

Holding a lot of things and not being able to eat or drink is simply a brain problem.

On the nearby river bank, Lu Chen also saw clusters of tall plants growing in many low-lying areas, with green leaves and dark red textures attached to the surface.

They must have been deliberately planted, with few weeds appearing inside, and red-haired beavers busy among them.

Out of curiosity, Lu Chen asked again what kind of plant it was.

Replying to the king, this is the blood-striped rice grown by red-haired beavers for our dragon clan. The rice made from it tastes particularly sweet and can provide a lot of energy.

Food with spiritual energy! ? ? Lu Chen immediately realized the value of this plant.

Compared to the useless gold, he felt that these lizard monsters had done some good things.

He just didn't know if the blood-striped rice would be effective on him. If possible, Lu Chen planned to promote its cultivation in the crocodile tribe's territory.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: This Dragon King is very interested in blood-grained rice. Can you get some for me?

No problem Lizard King agreed.

Then, there were several roars in the air.

Soon several tall beavers came over, carrying bags made of fur between their toes. When these guys approached, they prostrated respectfully and saluted.

Lu Chen could feel a faint energy exuding from the bag. He condensed his earthy toe claws to open the bag, took three or four kilograms of rice and put it in his mouth.

Prehistoric dragon-patterned rice can provide 21 energy points...

After calculation, one pound of dragon pattern rice can provide about 5 energy points.

This data is naturally inferior to high-quality animal flesh and blood.

Although it didn't have much effect on him, Lu Chen was still very excited.

Since crocodiles like to eat fruits, rice should also be suitable... In the case of food shortage, it should be regarded as a supplement.

If it were sold to the human world, it would be worth at least one hundred thousand spiritual stones.

You must know that until the great change, Lu Chen had not heard of any plant in Blue Star that was rich in so much energy.

He just didn't know whether the planting conditions were harsh or what the yield would be, so Lu Chen planned to try planting some first to see the effect.

With the Lizard King leading the way, they traveled smoothly and finally landed in front of a huge cave.

It is close to the volcano and the temperature is obviously much higher than other places.

There are more than a dozen lizard guards guarding the entrance of the cave, and their strength is also around level 4.

When these guys saw the Lizard Queen, they immediately bowed respectfully.

After His Highness Seraph introduced Lu Chen's identity, the guards also had no doubts, but their eyes were full of curiosity.

Just like that, Lu Chen swaggered and followed the other party into the cave palace.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still blinded when he saw the huge pyramid more than 10 meters high in front of him.

This is a real pyramid, true to its name, and made entirely of gold!

There are many gold statues scattered around.

The largest one looks like a lizard king. It is estimated to weigh more than ten tons. It has a domineering shape and looks majestic, glittering and extremely coquettish.

In addition to statues, there are many gold objects.

It is roughly estimated that the wealth inherited by the Lizard Clan for thousands of years is thousands of tons, which exceeds the gold reserves of many countries in Blue Star.

If a human saw it, he would probably go crazy instantly.

There are piles of colorful gemstones next to the gold, which emit a blurry brilliance under fluorescent light.

After just a few seconds, Lu Chen's expression returned to normal.

The reason is simple. For me, these golden hairs are of no use.

At present, the crocodile civilization has just sprouted, and the concept of currency has not yet been born.

There are rumors in previous lives that Western dragons like gold coins and gems.

Now Lu Chen can prove that this legend is more real than real gold.
