Evolution from the crocodile

There is a thick layer of mucus on the body surface of snakeheads, which has a strong lubricating effect, allowing them to reduce friction when swimming in the water and chase prey at a faster speed.

It even has a certain protective effect, reducing collisions with obstacles in the water and preventing epidermal injuries and bacterial infection.

However, this layer of mucus has no effect now and is easily penetrated by the sharp teeth of the crocodile, just like paper.

Click...a dull sound.

The huge bite force of the crocodile's mouth explodes, and its teeth pierce the body like sharp knives.

The original hunter has completely become a prey at the mercy of others. Dark red blood filled the air, and the smell of blood quickly spread toward the surrounding waters.

It wasn't until this moment that Wu Chan realized what he was doing.

The body once again burst out with powerful force, twisting and swinging sharply, trying to escape the fate of being hunted.

This guy is nearly 30 centimeters longer than Lu Chen and weighs three times more, so he is naturally much stronger.

Old fishing friends all know that there is a saying in the fishing world that “one pound of fish has ten pounds of power”.

The short-term explosive power of fish in the water is very amazing. A fish that weighs one pound often gives people the feeling of a giant after eating the hook, and can often break the fishing rod and line.

As for big fish weighing more than ten kilograms, they can even pull fishermen into the water to make nests.

Especially predatory fish like snakehead, their power is even more amazing.

If this guy struggled in open water, Lu Chen would probably be unable to do anything in a short time.

However, when the opponent's body is restricted by the sticky net, no matter how hard he struggles, it will be in vain.

As soon as he succeeded, Lu Chen performed a death roll.

The sharp and sharp teeth tore off a large piece of flesh in an instant.

Then, he quickly dodged and retreated, avoiding the entanglement of the sticky net.

In pain, Wu Snake struggled even more fiercely.

However, this is also the final madness.

The sediment and humus at the bottom of the ditch were stirred up, making the water turbid.

It won’t last long!

After about half an hour, Wu Chanba lost too much blood and exhausted all his strength, so his struggle gradually weakened.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Chen called the other crocodiles to come closer.

They bit the net rope with their mouths open and pulled hard together, finally dragging the half-dead giant snakehead to the shore.

This guy's eyes were still wide open even to death, and he truly refused to rest in peace.

With its IQ, it cannot figure out why it, as the overlord of Liuhu Lake, was killed by a tiny reptile.

After confirming that this guy was dead, Lu Chen stretched out his sharp claws and tore off the sticky mesh threads one by one, preparing to slowly enjoy the hard-won food.

Such a big snakehead weighs almost thirty kilograms, so naturally it cannot be swallowed directly.

But for a few young Gulf crocodiles, it's a piece of cake.

A few simple death rolls pulled off lumps of flesh and blood from the fish carcass.

Then they lay quietly among the reeds to digest.

As the food in the stomach is gradually digested, new changes appear in the text on the system panel.

Snakehead, Snakehead family, Snakehead genus, can provide 4.5 energy points

This situation was once again beyond Lu Chen's expectations.

I originally thought that this guy was comparable to Wang Jinshe, but I never thought that the quality of flesh and blood would be higher.

It looked like he had just swallowed 2 kilograms. Based on this calculation, the whole snakehead could provide about 60 points of energy.

It's really developed now... It's a waste to let other young crocodiles eat. They don't have the blessing of the system and can't fully convert the energy in their flesh and blood.

Lu Chen did not plan to share the remaining remains of the snakehead anymore, but planned to keep it and enjoy it alone.

Food of such high quality is rare and cannot be wasted.

As for where to store it?

If you don't think about it in the cave, it will definitely be eaten by a few little guys. In addition, the temperature inside is still a bit high, and the snakehead's flesh and blood will easily go bad.

Lu Chen would not eat carrion unless absolutely necessary.

Again, the essential difference between humans and animals is that humans are good at thinking and can use and make tools.

While the little guys were digesting and absorbing the food, he opened his mouth and dragged the remains of the snakehead, moved step by step to the water's edge, and swam towards the deep water in the middle of the lake.

After killing the giant snakehead, Lu Chen truly became the overlord of Liuhu Lake. So this time I no longer swam cautiously, but instead adopted an arrogant posture that disowned my relatives.

After reaching the predetermined position, he turned around and dived again.

As depth increases, the temperature decreases.

Yes, Lu Chen made use of his life experience of freezing watermelon with well water.

Many people born in the 1980s and 1990s who lived in rural areas had similar experiences as children: in hot summer, before eating watermelon, they had to put the watermelon in a well on ice for half a day.

This kind of watermelon is cold in the mouth, sandier and sweeter.

One sip will instantly make you feel refreshed and relieve most of the heat.

However, Lu Chen was not prepared to throw the remains of the snakehead into the deepest part of Liuhu Lake. His last exploration almost cost him his life, and he is still scared to this day.

He planned to stop diving when he reached twenty meters, which was just the right depth.

Due to the obstruction of water plants and algae on the lake surface, even in the hottest summer, it is difficult for sunlight to fully penetrate the 20-meter lake bottom.

The temperature on the surface of the lake is now in the early 30s, and the water below is only 78 degrees, so it is perfect for storing food.

In addition, the lake water can isolate the air and reduce the chance of bacterial growth.

After diving into the bottom of the lake, Lu Chen once again felt chills emanating from his body. The blood flow in the body begins to slow down and the limbs become unresponsive.

After the last experience, Lu Chen was not panicked. I just chose a flat location and put down the remains of the snakehead.

There are many predatory fish at the bottom of the water, and they are also interested in snakehead meat, so be on guard against them.

In just a few minutes, Lu Chen felt a biting cold feeling. Even vision began to blur.

Under such temperature conditions, he couldn't stay by his side all the time. In order to prevent the food from being stolen, he dug a hole with his claws and completely buried the remains under the sand.

After doing all this, he swam back to the water again, swung his tail and slowly left.

As for whether he could still find a place to hide food next time, Lu Chen wasn't worried.

Because crocodiles, like birds, can use the earth's magnetic field to navigate and determine their exact location.

Foreign scientists once conducted experiments. In order to confirm the crocodile's ability to identify habitats, they specially captured several crocodiles and locked them in an iron cage.

The cage was covered with a layer of black cloth and transported by car to a distance of more than ten kilometers for release.

As a result, these guys traveled long distances, took a week, and finally found the exact original habitat.

In addition, as a human being, it is the most basic common sense to use reference objects to determine specific location coordinates.

At the worst, you can also use your well-developed sense of smell to search, but it just takes some effort.

As the warm water moistens the body, the surface temperature rises rapidly.

Lu Chen felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable. In addition, the big stone weighing on his heart was completely removed, and he was extremely relaxed for a while and fell into a drowsy state.

Hey... this is it?

After Lu Chen swam a certain distance, he suddenly saw a subtle light flashing under the water. Fortunately he has excellent eyesight, otherwise it would be easy to miss.
