Evolution from the crocodile

Too dangerous!

After returning to the cave, Lu Chen was still filled with fear.

A famous quote from the novel The Three-Body Problem came to mind involuntarily: In the dark forest, every civilization is a hunter with a gun, sneaking through the forest like a ghost, gently pushing aside the branches that block the road, trying his best to Make sure your footsteps don't make a sound, and even your breathing must be careful... Any life that exposes its existence will be quickly wiped out.

The laws of the jungle in nature are always bloody, without any warmth or kindness, and there is no room for any carelessness.

Because if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit... This is the cruel truth.

If I hadn't carefully observed the environment on the shore just now, or if I had been half a second too late when escaping, I would have probably become the prey of the weasel.

And that huge beast in the lake - snakehead!

Lu Chen was certain that this guy had discovered him 100% and had even regarded him as prey just now. It was only because the weasel was larger that the hunting target changed.

To become stronger, you must become stronger quickly!

This kind of life without worrying about day and night, facing life and death crises all the time, left Lu Chen without the slightest sense of security.

He desperately wanted to become stronger and take control of his life.

Looking at the 1.2 energy points he had re-accumulated, Lu Chen kept some for daily consumption and added the rest to the strength of his toe claws.

There are also several crocodile companions who can't let them take it easy.

When the individual is weak, it is necessary to use the group's fighting power.

The process of digging holes for these guys is also a kind of physical exercise.

***

It's still a sunny day.

As the temperature gradually increased, Lu Chen immediately aroused the three crocodile cubs from the cave and continued digging in the soil.

Hiss... Crocodile Boss growled, his voice full of resistance.

Obviously after yesterday's hard work, this guy didn't want to dig in the dirt again. At this moment, it wants to find an unobstructed place to bask in the sun comfortably.

There is a saying in human society: It takes three days without a roof over your head. But in just two days, this guy showed signs of resistance again!

Seeing the crocodile boss resisting, the remaining two little guys showed a bit of excitement in their eyes, as if they were looking forward to such a scene.

Again, what should I do if my child disobeys? Just give him a spanking.

If you still don’t listen, keep fighting until you are convinced!

Lu Chen kicked his limbs on the ground and rushed over like a cannonball.

After the strength of the limbs is strengthened, the impact force will be more powerful.

The crocodile boss barely reacted before he was knocked to the ground.

Lu Chen's eyes showed a bit of ferocity and killing intent, he opened his mouth wide, and before the guy could make any move, he grabbed the guy's throat with his sharp teeth.

Although Lu Chen's body length is still not as long as Crocodile Boss, after adding energy points several times, his physical strength far exceeds his opponent's, forming a crushing situation.

At this moment, all you have to do is bite it hard.

Even if the crocodile boss cannot be killed, it can still cause serious damage to the opponent.

In natural environments, injuries to animals often mean temporary loss of the ability to hunt, which means death.

The survival instinct tells the crocodile boss that if he continues to resist, the third crocodile will kill him.

Hiss...hoo... The crocodile boss hurriedly begged for mercy.

In fact, from beginning to end, Lu Chen never really wanted to kill the other party.

Everything he did just now was just to maintain his position as leader.

As a young crocodile with no ability to protect itself, it often needs the help of a group to survive. Killing other cubs now is the stupidest thing to do.

This guy is a thorn, but he is also a good helper at this stage.

At least I can help keep watch while I'm asleep.

Minister Crocodile obeyed, and although the remaining two little guys were reluctant, due to Lu Chen's threats, they had no choice but to work as coolies.

After working hard for an hour, Lu Chen felt that most of his strength was consumed, so Lu Chen decisively stopped working.

Then, four crocodile cubs lined up in a long line, looking for food towards the lake.

Lu Chen still played the role of nanny, always paying attention to the sky and the grass.

Fortunately, I'm lucky today and haven't encountered any other predators so far.

Late spring and early summer are the frog breeding season, and there are many tadpoles by the water.

Without much effort, they found another group.

After doing manual labor for such a long time, the three little guys were already very hungry. When they saw the food, they rushed into the shallow water and ate it with their long mouths open.

As for Lu Chen, he kept his eyes alert and carefully observed the movement on the water.

After confirming that the giant snakehead was not swimming in the nearby water, he relaxed a little. Quickly crawl to last night's trap to see if any new prey has entered the trap.

It turned out to be empty, and no earthworm segments were seen.

It must have been that I arrived too late. After the prey ate the bait, it escaped again.

Helpless, Lu Chen had no choice but to continue looking for other prey.

In short, he really didn't want to eat tadpoles anymore, and he wouldn't even eat them until he died of starvation.

Soon, a frog appeared not far away.

Lu Chen felt a little happy and took advantage of the cover of the dense grass to approach quietly.

Before hunting, he subconsciously looked at the sky and his surroundings to make sure there was no danger, and then he suddenly jumped away.

Quack... The frog let out a shrill scream, and then fell silent.

Lu Chen opened his mouth wide and swallowed it whole.

Then, he returned to the other three companions and followed their example, lying quietly among the grass to bask in the sun while digesting the food in his stomach.

Such a frog can provide 0.3 energy points. At least for the next half day, I no longer have to worry about hunger.

For Lu Chen, lying by the water and basking in the sun after a delicious meal was the happiest thing.

Butterflies flutter and the breeze blows.

It made him so comfortable and lazy that he could hardly open his eyes...

Swish, swish!

A rustling sound came from nearby.

Lu Chen immediately woke up from his sleep and turned around to find that the noise was caused by the crocodile boss.

What is this guy trying to do by sneaking away? You wouldn't want to leave the crocodiles and go out to make a living secretly after just receiving a severe beating.

With some curiosity, Lu Chen did not call out immediately.

Immediately, I saw the crocodile boss quietly crawling towards a bent willow tree not far away.

After arriving under the tree, it stretched out its front paws to grab the bark, propped its tail on the ground, and kicked its hind legs continuously. Like a large gecko, its body is firmly attached to the tree trunk. Then the front paws continued to wave and climb upward.

Damn, what exactly are you going to do?

Crocodiles climb trees! ?

To borrow a famous saying from Mr. Lu Xun: “The world is so crazy that even mice are becoming bridesmaids to cats!”

After seeing the crocodile boss's actions clearly, Lu Chen was confused for a moment.

This guy can actually climb trees!

Could it be that Crocodile Boss also has a system close to him, or that some kind of mutation has occurred.

In Lu Chen's surprised eyes, a memory from the original body emerged in his mind: Crocodiles can climb trees.

Are you surprised or surprised?

This memory completely subverted my previous understanding of the crocodile, although this guy spent most of its time in the water, giving people a slow and clumsy feeling.

In fact, they are much more flexible than humans imagined and are naturally good at climbing trees.

Lu Chen didn't know that not only alligators could climb trees, but almost all crocodiles could.

This magical skill has been passed down in their blood, and may be the most precious gift given to future generations by crocodile ancestors in ancient times.

The crocodile boss slowly climbed up the willow tree and finally lay down on a wide side trunk. The belly is close to the bark and the limbs are stretched out, which is very comfortable.

For a moment, Lu Chen felt envious and itchy.

Otherwise, try it yourself.

Thinking of this, he immediately woke up the remaining two crocodiles.
