Evolution from the crocodile

In the foggy and rainy weather, Lu Chen's sense of sight and smell were severely weakened.

He wasn't sure if there were other predators hiding in the surrounding grass, so he didn't linger too much in the open space after leaving the cave, but went straight to the fishhook trap.

Fortunately, even with such heavy rain, there are still prey caught.

After swallowing a fat frog on a fishhook, Lu Chen still felt hungry.

As his size grew, so did his appetite.

An adult crocodile weighing 600 kilograms can eat slightly more than one-tenth of its body weight in one meal.

You can then go days, weeks, or even months without eating.

Of course, if they eat too much, they will most likely be stuffed to death due to indigestion.

Lu Chen did not have this problem. Thanks to the blessing of the system, his stomach's digestive function was very powerful. Food needs to be supplemented at least twice a day, about 1 catties each time.

The frog just now was barely an appetizer.

He has been hungry since the past few days.

After looking at the heavy rain that showed no signs of stopping, Lu Chen decided to venture into the lake to look for food. With his current size, there shouldn't be any danger as long as he's careful.

What's more, Liuhu Lake covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, so the chance of encountering the overlord snakehead is not high.

Amidst the sound of rain, Lu Chen quietly entered the water.

The temperature of the lake water is slightly higher than that on the shore, and it slowly moisturizes the cold body, giving it an indescribable sense of comfort. Then he stretched his limbs, swung his powerful tail gently, and swam happily in Liuhu Lake.

Even with your eyes closed underwater, you can still see your surroundings clearly.

This... is naturally due to the unique eye structure.

In addition to the upper and lower eyelids, crocodile eyes also have transparent inner eyelids.

The inner eyelids act like built-in goggles, providing good protection in the water.

Let me go...there are too many fish!

Although Lu Chen entered Liuhu Lake several times these days, he mostly stopped at the shore for a brief taste. I have never been able to swim as happily as I did today.

In addition, in rainy weather, fish schools are very active.

Rainwater washes away a lot of humus, grass seeds, insect eggs and other bait from the soil on the shore, causing many big fish to forage in shallow water areas.

Koi, giant crucian carp, catfish, loach, eel, lobster... Under the exploration of your eyes, you can see all the surrounding fish.

After aiming at the target, Lu Chen immediately swam away.

There were no splashes or bubbles on the water during the entire process, and it was as silent and rapid as a ghost submarine.

Several crucian carp that were very close at hand did not sense the danger at all and were still tumbling around the edge of the water plants in search of food.

Suddenly, Lu Chen rushed out.

He opened his mouth, clicked... and bit into a large crucian carp weighing half a kilogram.

Wow!

The water splashed and the frightened fish fled in all directions.

The strong smell of blood permeates the air...

After biting off the head of the big crucian carp, Lu Chen swallowed the remaining part.

Then he followed the same pattern and quickly caught the second fish.

After swallowing two crucian carp, Lu Chen finally felt full.

On the system panel, new information keeps flashing.

Crucian carp, family Cyprinidae, subfamily Cyprinidae, can provide 0.5 energy points

…

Considering the giant snakehead in the lake, Lu Chen didn't stay in the water for too long. After filling his stomach, he rushed ashore. He also had a large crucian carp in his mouth, intending to use it as food for the other three guys.

When approaching the cave, Lu Chen suddenly smelled a few familiar smells in the rain, which seemed to disappear in other directions.

Are these guys out hunting too? Lu Chen was a little surprised and hurriedly got into the cave.

Sure enough, the other crocodiles were not there.

After putting down the big crucian carp, Lu Chen left the cave again and followed the scent to catch up.

Although in rainy weather, most predators on land will hide to avoid the rain.

However, don't let your guard down because of this.

After walking for a distance through the dense reeds, Lu Chen was surprised to find that the three young crocodiles were not together, but separated into two directions.

He chose one of the places to catch up, and after crossing the reed swamp, he soon spotted the figures of the crocodile boss and the crocodile boss in the shallow water.

Two little guys were chasing a group of little frogs crazily and having a great time. Over time, many tadpoles have grown four legs and their tails are slowly disappearing.

This form also gives them the initial ability to avoid predators.

However, in front of a young crocodile, this jumping speed is far from impressive. The two guys had bloated bellies, obviously they had just eaten a lot of food.

That's right, you can make enough food and clothing by yourself.

Lu Chen was originally afraid that they would starve, but he finally felt relieved after seeing the situation in front of him.

At this time, the crocodile boss held a small frog in his mouth and quickly crawled to it.

Then he dropped the food on the ground and held it down with his front paws.

Hoo, ho, ho...

What's the meaning? Lu Chen quickly understood: It turned out that this guy wanted to show off his hunting ability and gave him a little frog to eat.

Crocodile Boss's voice was full of excitement and joy, just like a child who scored double hundred in the exam and was looking forward to his parents' praise.

Lu Chen felt a little funny and a little touched.

This guy really treated him like a leader!

Lu Chen stretched out his front paws and patted the crocodile boss on the head to encourage him, and then looked around: Where is the fourth child? Why haven't I seen him yet? Is there any accident?

Lu Chen instinctively felt uneasy, so he quickly returned to the fork in the road and chased in another direction.

As soon as he ran four or five meters away, he heard a faint scream from the wind and rain.

It's Crocodile Laosi!

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Chen speeded up again.

Ten seconds later, I saw the wet grass in front of me shaking constantly, and at the same time there was a rustling sound.

Immediately, a group of things rolled out of it.

Crocodile Laosi's petite body was wrapped in a ball of yellow and black objects, his eyeballs were suddenly bloodshot, and his cry for help from his trachea seemed extremely fragile... The little guy was wrapped around his neck and was about to suffocate to death.

King Jin She!

Lu Chen immediately recognized the predator in front of him.

I never expected that there would be a king snake in this seemingly peaceful reed marsh.

King snake, a snake of the genus Elephantidae in the family Colubridae, also called cauliflower snake and king python. Although this kind of guy is not poisonous, it can grow to more than 2.5 meters and weigh 10 kilograms when it reaches adulthood. It is definitely a giant among snakes.

Moreover, it has a ferocious temperament, agile movements, and strong strangulation ability.

King snakes feed on mice, birds, and other small animals. When food is scarce, they will even swallow their own species.

Lu Chen was also frightened when he saw the king snake that was more than two meters long in front of him, and even his body instinctively trembled slightly.

This kind of fear is not only due to the huge size of Wang Jin She, but also comes from the human memory deep in the consciousness.

It's strange to say that humans, as the masters of the planet, are supposed to be aloof and fearless.

But almost all humans are afraid of snakes. Even small, non-venomous snakes less than one meter long can make many people's hair stand on end.

This fear seems to be deeply imprinted in human genes, and there is even a term called ophiphobia.

Even now as a crocodile, Lu Chen still couldn't get rid of the fear deep in his memory.

For the first time, he thought of running away.

However, seeing the despair and pleading in Crocodile Laosi's eyes, Lu Chen stopped again and gradually regained his sanity.

He is not a human now, but a crocodile.

Surviving in the wild requires facing various dangers. Simply escaping is not the solution to the problem!

With his attack power, he may not lose to the opponent.

Hoss... hoss... Lu Chen shouted urgently, then opened his long mouth and pounced forward.
