Evolution from the crocodile

After returning to the river, Lu Chen continued to swim upstream.

After swimming forward for several hundred meters, a branch of the river appeared. It is only five or six meters wide, and the water flow is somewhat turbulent.

Lu Chen changed direction and soon heard a humming sound coming from the front.

There were herds of wild boars...and he could easily tell which animals they were.

In Lu Chen's opinion, this kind of guy is one of the easiest land foods to hunt.

Wild boars usually like to live near water, and often go into the water to urinate and mud. The urine and mud roll all over their bodies, like a thick layer of armor.

On the one hand, this can help you cool down, and on the other hand, it can repel mosquitoes adsorbed on your body.

However, because of this, the wild boar's fur always looks dirty. You can smell a fishy stench from hundreds of meters away.

Lu Chen has always had a desire to hunt wild boars...but so far, several latent hunts have failed.

The main reason is that these guys are too alert, and any disturbance around them will arouse their vigilance.

Like many wild herbivores, when a herd of wild boars is playing and looking for food, one of them is always on guard. When it sees a natural enemy nearby, it will immediately make a sound to notify the same kind.

Moreover, when these guys escape, they do not disperse in a rush. On the contrary, they will quickly move closer to the largest wild boar king, while the remaining large wild boars are distributed on the periphery, responsible for defending against the enemy.

With Lu Chen's small body, it was naturally impossible for him to fight against a large wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms.

So in this situation, we have no choice but to give up.

Of course, if he uses a death roll, he should be able to injure his prey.

But there is no need... Ineffective hunting methods will not bring any benefits except consuming physical energy, and may even risk death.

Once a wild boar weighs more than 200 kilograms, its rapid impact is similar to that of a car.

In the wild, these guys even have records of killing Siberian tigers. Although most of those killed were thin, sick and disabled adults, it also shows that the attack power of these guys is quite amazing.

But today, Lu Chen planned to try again.

Because of the vibration coming from the river, he sensed that there were not many individuals in the wild boar group opposite. And it can be heard from the screams that there seem to be a lot of little piglets.

After making up his mind, Lu Chen quietly submerged most of his body under the water, leaving only half of his head exposed, and slowly approached against the pampas grass bushes on the shore.

After bypassing the cover of a patch of cattail grass, the scene on the shore was completely revealed in the eyes of the beast.

As expected, this is a family group of wild boars. There were two large wild boars, one male and one female, plus seven or eight wild boar cubs.

Two large wild boars stood guard on both sides, allowing the little guys to roll and play in the shallow water nearby.

After absorbing the lessons from the previous failed hunting attempts, Lu Chen did not attack rashly.

Instead, he dived back underwater.

Covered by sparse pampas grass, I stared at the little piglet digging into the mud not far away, waiting patiently.

The whole process was silent and made no sound.

Wild boars have a very special nose, with a snout at the front, a wide olfactory area and very dense olfactory nerves.

As a result, their sense of smell is even more acute than that of crocodiles. These guys can tell the ripeness of food with their noses and can easily find food buried more than two meters under the snow.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that in a previous life, a certain European country trained wild boars to search for black truffles growing underground.

Lu Chen's previous hunting failure was also due to the fact that he was discovered in advance.

This time he deliberately lurked downstream, with his body completely submerged underwater and only his two eyes exposed, in order to hide the smell as much as possible.

The lurking was successful... Under the cover of pampas grass, the two large wild boars did not notice a dark rotten wood on the bottom of the water nearby.

Compared with the big wild boars that have suffered countless beatings, these little guys are more courageous and very curious, and can easily leave the safe zone.

Not long after, a young wild boar abandoned his parents' teachings and gradually approached the pampas grass bush where Lu Chen was.

Those delicious plant roots are delicious food.

Wow…

A huge splash of water suddenly rose from the pampas grass bushes, and a dark giant jumped out quickly and rushed towards the little wild boar two meters away.

In an instant, the sharp teeth pierced the neck.

Zhizhi...

The little wild boar screamed in terror and struggled to escape.

It's too late!

Immediately after he succeeded, Lu Chen immediately performed a death roll, and then pulled the prey, which weighed more than ten kilograms, toward the deep water.

Squeak, squeak!!

The two big wild boars finally reacted.

With angry roars, they rushed over madly.

Lu Chen naturally knew how powerful an angry adult wild boar was, so he did not bite the prey tightly.

Once the blow is successful, let go immediately.

The body retreated rapidly under the water, and after a few seconds, it disappeared deep into the calamus bush.

The male wild boar rushed nearby, squeaked and screamed around the child in the water, and tried to push it to a safe area on the shore with its nose.

Unfortunately, it had no effect... Gugu's blood soon dyed the water surface red.

When Lu Chen attacked, he tore off a large mass of flesh and blood, even biting into pieces the arteries in his neck.

The little wild boar struggled for a moment and then became completely silent.

The male wild boar hissed crazily, with even a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, but he could only watch his child being washed away by the rapids under the water.

Lu Chen once again lurked to catch up, then dragged the prey to the other side.

The first successful wild boar hunt, even though it was just a piglet, was worthy of celebration.

***

A few hundred meters away in the dense forest, a group of humans were slowly advancing.

At the front of the team, a hunting dog kept sniffing the ground.

Suddenly, it let out a low whimper at the trainer next to it.

Old Li, there's something going on. After hearing the warning, a human immediately spoke out.

Fly the drone to check. I hope it's not a wild beast we encountered this time, the companion responded hurriedly.

After receiving the order, a drone was quickly released, rising to an altitude of tens of meters with a buzzing sound.

Half a minute later, they saw a real-time picture returned on the console screen: somewhere the water surface was filled with blood red, and a large wild boar was making a sharp hissing sound.

It's a herd of wild boars. There are wild animals hunting wild boars... The human manipulating the drone asked, Do you want to continue exploring?

Recall it, the captain replied gloomily.

It was definitely a wild animal hunting, and there was no point in further investigation.

According to the pictures taken before the rain, the target should be hiding in this nearby area. Now they have been searching the mountain for two full days, but they have not found any clues.

The captain suspected that the target might have fled to other places.

Drone? !

Just as Lu Chen dragged the prey back to the shore, he heard a sound coming from above his head.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a drone slowly passing by from a height of tens of meters, then flying into the distance.

The color of the crocodile's scales is very close to the soil on the shore, and with the grass covering it, the other party probably didn't notice his presence.

For police use? Although it only took a few seconds, Lu Chen could clearly see the logo below the drone.

There are other humans entering the mountain...most likely coming towards the two previous targets.

Lu Chen immediately recalled what he saw in the morning.

He originally planned to ignore it, but now he had a new idea.
