Evolution from the crocodile

In fact, Lu Chen's guess was correct. There was indeed a limit to how deep a creature like a crocodile could dive in the water.

For example, general swamp crocodiles like to live in shallow water areas and rarely dive below 5 meters.

The limit of most crocodiles is around 20 meters.

The various abnormalities that appeared on Lu Chen's body before should be attributed to diving disease.

Diving sickness generally refers to the obstacles caused by humans returning from high-pressure underwater conditions to normal pressure on the ground. It is similar to altitude sickness.

For example, pain in the joints of the limbs, dizziness, nausea and vomiting...

In fact, this symptom is not only experienced by humans, but also by animals.

Although Lu Chen's body has been strengthened now, he is still a crocodile cub, and is not ridiculously powerful. Without professional diving training, it is normal to have such a large abnormal reaction if you suddenly dive too deep.

You know, for every 10 meters of depth in water, the pressure increases by 1 atmosphere.

Thirty meters is equivalent to 3 atmospheres of pressure (the ground is 1 atmosphere of pressure).

Ordinary humans can dive to a depth of about 10 meters without the help of any tools. Only trained professional divers can dive to about 30 meters or even deeper.

Lu Chen was able to dive to a depth of thirty meters for the first time, which was definitely an extraordinary performance.

Fortunately, the body of the crocodile can recover, and the sequelae completely disappeared in half a day, and it can swim freely in the water again.

His body was fine, and Lu Chen once again shifted his hunting target to the big fish in the lake. When he dived before, he found that there were many big fish in the lake, many of which were above the meter level.

If you want to grow quickly, you should continue to eat large fish.

Only high-quality meat can provide more energy points and allow you to grow faster.

Lu Chen could no longer see the small fish and shrimps in the lake. If they weren't so hungry, they wouldn't even be qualified to make food.

The meter-level snakehead can't fight it for the time being... But guys like grass carp, herring, silver carp and bighead carp, apart from being huge in size, don't have very strong attack power.

It's just that the big fish are particularly vigilant and will run away immediately if there is any slightest disturbance around them.

Lu Chen also tried to capture it several times, but failed.

These guys explode so fast in an instant that they sense danger and can rush more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

Although the crocodile is very fast in the water, it is still far inferior to fish, so we can only look forward to it and sigh.

It seems that we have to use human thinking.

As a senior fishing friend in his previous life, Lu Chen knew the living habits of fish very well.

Big fish hide in deep water during the day and are difficult to catch during this time.

It's different at night. In the dead of night, they will also swim to the shore to look for food. This is their own opportunity.

As long as you take the right medicine, you don't have to worry about catching big fish.

Just do what you think of... Lu Chen immediately directed the other three crocodile cubs to search for river clams and snails in the water.

After a while, a hill piled up on the shore.

Next, Lu Chen picked up a hard stone with his two front paws.

Click, click... The snails and river mussels turned into pieces of flesh and blood, and were put into plastic bags.

Lu Chen entered the water with a plastic bag in his mouth, chose a flat area near the water plants, and spread the mussels and snail meat evenly on the bottom of the lake.

These baits are naturally used to catch big herring.

In the inherent impression of many people, the four major species of carp, silver carp, and bighead carp are herbivorous fish.

In fact, they are not. They should be considered omnivorous and usually eat some meaty bait.

Black carp, in particular, feeds on planktonic insects, snails, mussels, and clams.

And this guy is quite ferocious, with teeth in his mouth and pharynx, called pharyngeal teeth. It can easily break the hard shell of snails and river mussels and eat the meat inside.

After the bait trap was set, Lu Chen once again waved his well-developed and strong toe claws to dig a shallow pit in the sand. Then the whole body hid in it, and the dark scales blended into the color of the surrounding sand.

If you don't get closer and take a closer look, you won't be able to spot it at all.

Several other companions followed suit.

The reason why Lu Chen brought a few little guys with him was naturally because he was afraid that a meter-sized fish would come and he would not be able to handle it alone. When I hunted Golden Snake and Bar-headed Cormorant several times before, the little guys cooperated quite well with me.

In addition, I also want to exercise their hunting ability.

The bottom of the lake here is only more than 1 meter deep, and the sun can fully penetrate it during the day. The water temperature at night is about 26-7 degrees.

For crocodiles, the temperature is perfect.

The temperature is high in summer, and 1-5 meters is also the favorite depth for big herring to feed at night.

The fishy smell of the snail river mussel meat spread rapidly at the bottom of the lake. Ten minutes later, Lu Chen saw several green-brown figures flashing past in the distance.

Then, he wandered far away...

He had expected this and was not in a hurry.

Big fish are very vigilant when looking for food and will only approach food when they are sure the surroundings are safe.

The biggest characteristic of crocodiles in hunting prey is their patience.

Adult crocodiles can lurk motionless in the water for several hours. Although Lu Chen and other young crocodiles cannot do this for such a long time, they can still do so for a few dozen minutes.

As expected, after confirming that the surroundings were safe, a big herring finally approached slowly.

With the help of the faint moonlight shining on the water surface, Lu Chen easily locked onto his prey.

But it was not a meter-sized herring, just one over 60 centimeters long.

This guy slowly swam to the trap, groping at the bottom of the lake with his goose-egg-like mouth, making crunching sounds from time to time.

Naturally, it didn't notice that there were a few pairs of cold eyes staring at it in the sand not far away.

Closer, closer!

boom!

The sediment at the bottom of the lake exploded.

Good Morning The impatient crocodile suddenly exploded and bit into the body of the big herring.

Lu Chen's attack was the signal, and Good Morning couldn't bear it. The three crocodile cubs also rushed over quickly, opening their mouths and biting at different parts.

Although this big herring is about the same length as Lu Chen, its weight is far greater, weighing at least twenty kilograms.

It struggled violently under the pain, and the power it unleashed should not be underestimated.

Crash... The bottom of the lake is churning, and the mud is rolling.

This guy relied on his own strength to drag four crocodiles and escape deeper into the water...

Many people may not know that fish are very powerful underwater. A 3-pound fish can instantly explode with more than ten kilograms of strength! A fish weighing more than ten kilograms can even explode with strength of dozens or hundreds of kilograms.

If humans and fish had a tug-of-war in the water, the loser would most likely be humans...

This is also the reason why many fishing friends are dragged directly into the water after catching a big fish.

However, it was all in vain.

This herring is similar to the bar-headed crocodile. When it is bitten by four crocodiles, it means that it has entered a life countdown.

Lu Chen had no intention of engaging in an underwater tug-of-war with his prey, so he quickly used his special move - death roll, tearing off a half-kilogram piece of flesh and blood from the opponent's abdomen.

Several other crocodiles also followed suit and made death rolls, biting off pieces of flesh and blood.

The dim lake water was turbid and blood-red.

Taking this opportunity, the big herring dragged its bloody body and rushed into the distance.

After Lu Chen and the three crocodile cubs swallowed their flesh and blood, they chased after them.

It was dark in the lake at night, and the line of sight was severely blocked, but the strong smell of blood in the water was the best coordinate, and they would naturally not lose it.

What's more, this guy's body is broken and he is close to death.

The reason why he was able to struggle to escape was just his last survival instinct.
