Evolution from the crocodile

In addition to the heart strengthening that brought a lot of surprises to Lu Chen, he also found that the suitable temperature range had also changed, and was now 15-40 degrees Celsius.

This means that even during part of winter, you can still enter other parts of the mountain forest to hunt.

Instead of being able to hide in the Snake Valley like now.

After evolving, Lu Chen officially began to think about hunting golden eagles.

He has long regarded the snakes in the valley as personal property, and naturally does not allow other hunters to get involved. More importantly, the existence of this golden eagle is always a threat to the three young Gulf crocodiles.

Lu Chen was afraid that when he went out later, he would make the same mistake as the clouded leopard that raided his lair.

Therefore, the golden eagle must die.

But this guy can fly and is extremely fast, so his air advantage is too great.

When fighting an enemy, if you miss a hit, you can flap your wings and escape.

So how to hunt the giant golden eagle, you must first limit its air superiority... The method Lu Chen thought of was nothing new, it was still using bait.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the method is good or bad, as long as it works.

Counting the time, it’s almost time for that guy to show up!

Soon, a wriggling red chain snake appeared on the big rock by the lake.

This snake is extremely venomous and usually causes little reaction when bitten. However, its scales are red and black in color and look very eye-catching, easily noticed by the golden eagles hovering in the sky.

At this moment, the Red Chain Snake kept curling its body, trying to escape into the bushes nearby, but it never succeeded.

This scene is exactly the same as that of the mountain rat that was used as bait.

After setting up the trap, Lu Chen lurked in the shallow water of a nearby lake and waited patiently.

Afraid of being noticed by the golden eagle, he deliberately dug a shallow pit with his claws and crawled in it. He then swept the sand on both sides with his tail, burying most of the scales on his back, leaving only one head exposed.

The dark scales blended in with the color of the sand. I believe that even if the guy had extraordinary eyesight, he would not be able to detect anything strange at an altitude of several thousand meters.

As Lu Chen expected, a crisp chirping soon came from above the valley.

The hunting has been going smoothly recently and has never encountered danger. This golden eagle has already relaxed its vigilance and subconsciously ignored the sense of crisis conveyed by its brain.

After hovering in the sky for weeks, it swooped down as usual.

When it landed, its sharp claws came out like lightning and stabbed into the Red Chain Snake's body with precision.

Then he flapped his wings and wanted to fly back into the sky.

When large birds take off from flat ground, they all need a long run-up, and this golden eagle is no exception.

In fact, as the overlord of the sky, the outcome was already determined from the moment it folded its wings and fell.

Without any surprise, Lu Chen jumped up and opened his bloody mouth...

This giant golden eagle continues to feed on snakes in the valley, and its physique has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Lu Chen swallowed it and digested it. 20 kilograms of flesh and blood provided 50 points of energy, which was equivalent to the previous Burmese python.

The eagle hunting was over, and Lu Chen deservedly became the overlord of the entire valley.

But now he has to face a more realistic problem: there are not many large snakes in the valley.

After evolving to level 3, Lu Chen's appetite continued to increase explosively.

Now I have two meals a day, and each meal consumes almost 20 kilograms of food. Together with the crocodile boss and the others, they consume almost 60 kilograms of food every day.

This also means that at least a dozen snakes are needed to meet the feeding needs of four crocodiles.

Today's Snake Valley no longer lives up to its name. Except for some immature snakes, only a handful of large snakes are left hiding in the depths of the jungle to survive.

Fortunately, as the number of snakes decreased, the number of swimming fish in the small lake began to increase.

Although the energy points contained in their flesh and blood are not as good as those of snakes, they are higher than those of the outside world.

Not bad food for three crocodile cubs.

After migrating into the valley, their bodies also expanded rapidly. The crocodile is more than one meter long and weighs more than ten kilograms.

Compared with Lu Chen's wall hanging, there is no comparison, but compared to ordinary crocodile cubs, it is definitely an extraordinary existence.

In addition to the increase in fish swimming in the lake, there are also more birds in the valley during this time. There are also the group of macaques... Seeing that the number of snakes in the valley has decreased, they began to try to settle down in nearby big trees for the winter.

Lu Chen had no intention of using the monkeys as food and let them roam around in the valley.

In a sense, the existence of these guys is also an excellent shield and cannon fodder for several young crocodiles.

Although the giant golden eagle had been killed, Lu Chen could not guarantee that other raptors would not appear again. The golden fur of those macaques is far more conspicuous than the color of the crocodile's scales.

So once an aerial predator appears, the monkey group is the most obvious target.

A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist!

***

The smell of prey was in the air again.

Taking advantage of the cover of the grass, Lu Chen sniffed, arched his back, slowly moved his limbs, and approached step by step.

The whole process was silent.

This hunting posture looks very much like a pirated cat.

But for Lu Chen, it doesn't matter if it's a pirated version, as long as it's easy to use.

Obtaining the maximum benefit at the minimum cost... has always been the survival instinct of carnivorous animals.

Even because of the camouflage color of his scales, Lu Chen was far better than those cats. Under the cover of dense grass, he quietly sneaked to a distance of fifty meters, and finally got a clear look at his prey.

It is a forest musk deer, also called fragrant deer. The musk they produce is a valuable Chinese medicinal material and high-grade spice.

Another unique feature of this guy is that its canine teeth are well developed and extremely sharp, just like fangs, and they can also be regarded as their weapons.

However, it can only be used to fight with the same kind, and is useless against the eggs of carnivores.

Like most small herbivores, forest musk deer have a keen sense of hearing and smell and move briskly and quickly.

This guy soon heard the rustling in the grass, and immediately raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen...

The next moment, Lu Chen jumped out decisively, his strong limbs stepping rapidly on the grass, and his huge crocodile tail swaying continuously, allowing his body to maintain balance and speed as much as possible.

Tap tap tap!

Every time he swooped, he left a heavy sound on the ground. The posture is extremely wild, as if an off-road vehicle is rushing through the grass.

In just a few seconds, the speed has increased to the maximum...

The distance between the two instantly shortened to thirty meters.

Twenty seconds later, it was less than ten meters.

Half a minute later, Lu Chen arrived two meters behind Lin She.

Suddenly he accelerated again and jumped out in the air. With the huge impact brought by the body, the two front paws shot down with all their strength.

Tong...the prey was knocked and flew more than three meters away, letting out a tragic whine.

Before Lin She could stand up and run away, Lu Chen had already rushed close again, opening his mouth wide and grabbing the opponent's throat. Then the body rolled 360 degrees, directly tearing apart the blood vessels and tendons of the prey.

This is just a microcosm of Lu Chen's hunting.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since he evolved into a third-level crocodile, and his diet has become wider and wider.

Wild boar, dwarf deer, wild sheep, forest musk deer... these all become food in the belly.
