Evolution from the crocodile

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Lu Chen and three other members of his species successfully survived.

During this time, he gained a deeper understanding of his situation.

The big lake they currently live in is called Liuhu, which was originally connected to Wujiang River. Later, because the city built land around the lake, a small lake of 400 acres was gradually formed.

On this basis, Liuhu Park has been built in recent years. It's just that the location is remote and there are usually very few tourists.

Wujiang City is near the sea, with a large river (Wujiang) passing through the city.

All in all, Lu Chen was quite satisfied with the environment here.

During these three days, he ate like crazy. Thanks to the abundant food (tadpoles), his body was constantly changing.

Now the latest status is clearly displayed on the transparent panel.

The body length only increased by 4 centimeters, but the weight doubled.

Compared with the other three friends, Lu Chen looked stronger.

Although he is not as tall as Crocodile Boss yet, he has become the undisputed leader.

Apart from eating, Lu Chen was not idle. Instead, he directed the three little guys to dig holes by the lake.

That’s right, digging holes.

As their bodies grew, the original cracks in the rocks no longer allowed them to hide.

Again, as a young crocodile with a human soul, being prepared for danger in times of peace is the most basic quality.

Before they grow up to have a certain ability to protect themselves, there are too many creatures around the lake that can cause fatal harm to them.

Egrets, eagles, cormorants, even various snakes...

So far, Lu Chen and other small crocodiles have been living in the grass on the shore and have not dared to swim into deep water.

He could not confirm whether there were large predatory fish in the lake.

Therefore, for your own safety, it is very necessary to dig holes and hide.

In fact, many species of crocodiles dig burrows.

For example, the famous alligator sitting on the bottom of the cell and wearing the beast is a master of construction. Their innate ability to dig holes is extraordinary and amazing.

The alligator cave is divided into three levels, with a maximum depth of more than 30 meters and a complex interior, like an underground maze.

There are usually four or five exits, some of which are exhaust holes and are vertical to the ground to keep the air fresh in the cave; some are connected to the grass and reeds on the shore and are emergency escape passages; some are direct to the nearest water source. , convenient for hunting.

Moreover, the alligator knows how to enjoy itself and has a large bedroom for itself, which is covered with dead leaves and weeds.

There is even a bath that is filled with water all year round.

The most amazing thing is that this guy can determine the location of the cave based on the highest water level of the year.

All in all, very magical.

In addition to the alligator, the Nile crocodile is also a master at digging holes.

In order to escape the dry season, they dig more than ten meters underground, which is the deepest known animal cave.

As the undisputed overlord of the swamp, the crocodile does not need to dig burrows to avoid predators, but it also has this ability.

The sharp claws are the best digging tools.

According to Lu Chen's design, the cave must have at least three exits.

One is for daily access, and the other two are in a closed state and will only be activated in case of life or death crisis.

Under the leadership of Lu Chen, four crocodile cubs took turns entering the cave to get busy.

In just one day, the depth of the cave reached more than one meter, barely enough for them to hide.

As night falls, the other three get into it early to sleep.

Compared with the cold stone cracks, the cave has a very good thermal insulation effect and can be maintained above 25 degrees, allowing them to spend the long night comfortably.

Soon, a slight breathing sound came from the cave.

As for Lu Chen, he didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment.

He quietly poked his head out of the cave, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he quickly crawled towards the lake.

Arriving at the shallow water area near the shore, Lu Chen found a suitable position and stretched out his sharp toes to grab at the bottom of the water.

Soon, a round trap with a small mouth and a big belly was ready.

He dug out two fat earthworms from under the grass roots on the wet bank, divided them into several sections, and threw them into the trap.

Next, hide in the grass and wait patiently.

This simple trap is naturally the crystallization of human wisdom and is mainly used to catch fish.

After eating tadpoles for several days, Lu Chen now felt like vomiting when he saw black dots, so he wanted to change to other flavors.

Of course, there is another reason: tadpoles are low-quality food and can provide too few energy points, which is somewhat unable to meet his eating needs.

The fishy smell of earthworms spread along the lake, quickly attracting several plump loaches.

Seeing the prey enter the urn, Lu Chen quickly climbed out and sealed the exit with his sharp claws.

Several frightened loaches swam wildly in the shallow puddles, trying to escape back into the lake.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Lu Chen's body suddenly sprang out, and his sharp and sharp teeth accurately bit a loach.

Click... split it in half, and then swallow it.

Immediately, he focused on the second one...

A few loaches were eaten, and the hungry stomach was filled with food again.

Loach, Loachidae, Loach genus, can provide 0.1 energy points

Sure enough, as I guessed, the energy points provided are also very different depending on the quality of the meat.

One loach is worth ten tadpoles.

With just four loaches, you can accumulate 0.4 points of energy.

It seems that I will still have to catch some larger fish in the future...

Thinking in his mind, Lu Chen planned to go ashore and return.

Suddenly, he noticed a pair of black bean-sized eyes with green light in the grass not far away.

The opponent was staring straight at him, his spine half arched, and his two hind legs kicking on the ground.

It looked like a sharp arrow ready to strike.

It's a huge weasel!

Lu Chen's heart was beating fast... Without any hesitation, his tail swung rapidly.

With the help of inertia, the body turned 180 degrees on the water surface, and the limbs quickly stepped on the water, rushing straight into the depths of the lake.

Seeing that its prey was frightened, the weasel jumped out.

Under the moonlight, the tawny fur glowed ferociously.

He jumped up, flew nearly two meters away, and landed heavily on the water.

Crash...the waves are rolling.

Immediately, it reluctantly stuck its head out of the water and looked around with its two small eyes, trying to find any clues about the cunning prey.

Lu Chen dived into the water at this moment, and his toes and claws were tightly grasped at the roots of the water plants, not daring to move.

Damn, it's too dangerous.

I originally thought that it was safer at night than during the day, but I forgot that many carnivores also forage at night.

Fortunately, I found it in time. If I had waited to climb to the shore, I would have been torn to pieces.

Even more to his surprise, the weasel was also an expert swimmer.

Of course, when hunting in the dark water, this thing's sight was severely obstructed, which allowed him to escape easily.

However, Lu Chen's vision was not greatly affected and he could still clearly see objects four to five meters away.

Seeing the weasel gradually swimming away, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go ashore from the other side.

But in the next second, he suddenly froze like a dead tree under the water, motionless.

The surface of the crocodile's scales is covered with sensory organs, which can not only sense the smell and touch of the water, but also sense various strange vibrations.

For example, right now, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

There was a rustling sound among the water plants ahead.

Immediately, a huge black shadow emerged from the bottom of the water.

The opponent's body is more than one meter long, cylindrical in shape, and covered with dark, finely spotted fish scales.

Suddenly it looked like a big python with adult legs.

It lurked silently at the edge of the water plants, its broad bean-sized eyes glowing ferociously, staring closely at the weasel swimming on the water.

I'll go, it's such a big fire!

Huotou, whose scientific name is snakehead, is probably a ferocious carnivorous fish that is rare in Xia.

These guys usually like to live in shallow water areas covered with aquatic plants, lurking in them and waiting for opportunities to hunt for food. Their diet is very similar to that of young crocodiles. In addition to shrimps and small fish, they also catch frogs, water birds, etc. for food.

Larger snakeheads can even attack humans.

More importantly, these guys are very survivable.

They can survive in places with low oxygen and poor water quality, and can burrow into the mud and survive for weeks without water.

When these guys were exported abroad, they made big news and became notorious as invasive fish.

The local government has spent billions of dollars to eliminate this fish, but with little success.

For this reason, foreign countries have also issued reward orders to encourage all people to fish for snakehead, with a reward of one dollar per fish.

But even so, it is still impossible to clean up the invading snakehead fish, and even shows a trend of continuous flooding. Snakeheads can now be found in 50% of the waters in a certain country.

As for the one in front of me, it's a bit too big, roughly estimated to weigh twenty kilograms.

This guy definitely belongs to the level of overlord of Liuhu Lake. Any aquatic creature in front of it can only be hunted.

The weasel swimming on the surface of the water did not notice at all that his identity had changed, from a hunter to a prey.

Under the water, a dark and ferocious head quickly sprang up.

Crash...the water splashed, and the sharp and sharp teeth directly bit the prey.

Zhizhizhi...

Suddenly attacked, the weasel screamed in terror, flapped its limbs vigorously, and struggled to escape the hunt.

Nothing works...

This giant snakehead is obviously an experienced hunter. Once it succeeds, it will not let go, dragging its prey down to dive deep.

Soon, blood red appeared on the bottom of the water.
