Evolution from the crocodile

Lu Chen stayed on the island for three days.

Drink seawater when you are thirsty, and look for food in nearby reef areas when you are hungry.

Lu Chen was extremely lucky that he traveled through time to be a saltwater crocodile and could maintain normal metabolism even in the sea. Otherwise, the problem of fresh water alone might kill him.

The scales bitten by the shark have almost recovered.

In fact, since yesterday afternoon, no bull shark has been seen nearby or on the sea surface. He probably ran out of patience and went hunting elsewhere.

But for safety reasons, he stayed an extra day.

Seeing the sun getting higher and higher, Lu Chen finally decided to take the risk and go to the sea.

He did not swim away immediately, but slowly swam along the shallow waters of the island. At the same time, his eyes continued to scan the sea surface, and his body sensed unusual movements in the water. If there is any disturbance, return to the reef immediately.

Half an hour later, Lu Chen finally felt relieved.

Confirm safe!

He didn't hesitate any longer, his tail turned into a rudder, and his limbs began to swim quickly.

The journey was uneventful and there were no more twists and turns... Lu Chen was completely relieved when he entered the mangrove area.

When he appeared on the water near the cave, he was immediately sensed by three crocodiles. The little guys screamed with excitement and swam quickly to the front, circling around and splashing waves with their tails.

From their voices, Lu Chen saw excitement and concern.

Go home feeling good.

He couldn't help but stretched out his big head and touched them one by one.

***

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the typhoon passed.

Except for exploring the offshore once, Lu Chen spent most of his time foraging for food near the cave. The bull shark attack slapped him awake again.

You are still very weak, don't let yourself go.

Even with the blessing of the system, one's life may still be lost if one is not careful.

Now that the cave was dug, he couldn't sit still and began to exercise his body.

Running fast, climbing trees...

Lu Chen knew very well that if he sweated a little more, he would gain more strength in the future. More chances of survival when faced with attacks from natural enemies.

Imagine if you couldn't climb a tree, you would have been killed by a black bear while stealing honey.

Rustling... Lu Chen's four toes kicked on the ground.

The back is like a big curved bow, suddenly compressed to the extreme and popped out!

After the blessing of system energy points and long-term unremitting exercise, the limb muscles of the crocodile's body have become extremely developed, full of explosive power... One leaps away, more than two meters away.

After landing, the front and rear limbs alternated, stepping, stepping, dodging, dodging again... During the running process, Lu Chen kept using his tail to control the balance of his body to prevent him from losing control and falling.

From a distance, this set of actions looks very similar to when a cheetah is chasing.

Of course, Lu Chen did not deliberately imitate it, but this is how crocodile cubs run on land. However, as they continue to expand in size as adults, their limbs eventually degenerate, and they can only huddle in the swamp and become the overlord.

In just ten seconds, Lu Chen had already run more than fifty meters and arrived under the big banyan tree.

Following the continuous exertion of the toes and claws, he successfully reached the top of the twenty-meter-high tree.

After taking a short rest, he tried jumping back and forth between the branches.

He didn't stop to rest until he was exhausted.

Of course, while he was strengthening his training, Lu Chen also did not forget to supervise the three little guys.

Although there is no systematic help, the growth rate of the crocodile bosses is much higher than that of ordinary Gulf crocodile babies.

Now the crocodile boss has a body length of 90 centimeters and a weight of almost 6 kilograms.

As for the smallest Crocodile Girl, it is over 70 centimeters.

In addition, regardless of endurance, running speed, flexibility of toes and claws, and even hunting ability, they are far superior to similar animals.

Currently, their hunting ability alone is very weak, but if they gather together, they can easily kill large water birds such as spotted cormorants and egrets in the water.

Because of this, Lu Chen was able to explore the ocean with confidence a few days ago.

He even had a hunch that in half a year at most, the little guys wouldn't need to take care of them at all.

Squeak, squeak... Lu Chen was thinking about crocodile life when he suddenly heard an excited cry from another big tree in the distance.

Turning around, I saw the jumping figure of the macaque Golden Spot.

As usual, it held a branch with wild fruits in its mouth.

This little guy seems to have learned the rules of bartering since he tasted the Tangyu that Lu Chen gave in return. Every now and then he would bring a few wild fruits, and then leave happily holding a fish in his hands.

Lu Chen was used to this.

He was about to go down the tree to catch fish, but stopped again and sniffed.

There are a few strange smells on the big tree opposite, it should be the same kind as Jindian. At this moment, they hide their bodies among the dense leaves, quietly staring and observing.

I saw the same kind jumping close to a huge reptile that I had never seen before. A big monkey made a short sound, which seemed to warn the little guy that it was in danger.

Jin Dian turned his head and responded twice, then came to Lu Chen and put the fruit down obediently.

In order to reassure its companions, it even dared to stretch out its claws and tap lightly on the thick scales.

Zhizhi

Zhizhi...

As a result, the group of monkeys screamed more urgently, and their eyes showed fear and disbelief.

They felt that the little monkey was seeking death.

After all, to them, Lu Chen was definitely a giant.

Especially with its huge head and sharp teeth, you can tell at a glance that it is not easy to mess with.

As the monkeys watched, Lu Chen went down the tree with a wild fruit branch in his mouth, and then disappeared into the river.

When he returned, he threw a big crucian carp over with his mouth.

Jindian picked up the crucian carp and ate it, and at the same time shouted happily into the tree, showing off the gift he had just received.

Seeing that the reptile on the ground did not eat its own kind, the remaining monkeys became much bolder. They came to the big banyan tree one after another and watched closely.

What these guys didn't know was that Lu Chen was already thinking about how many energy points the monkey could provide.

However, deep down in my heart, I felt a bit resistant, and I always felt that I couldn't speak.

After all, these primates look so much like humans.

This seems to be explained by the uncanny valley effect in previous lives.

The so-called uncanny valley effect means that when a doll looks two or three times like a real person, people will feel intimacy and favorability because of this similarity. But when the similarity approaches 100%, the favorability will plummet, and even fear will arise.

After some thought, Lu Chen decided to follow his heart.

There is abundant food in the mountains, so there is no need to worry about a few monkeys.

What he didn't expect was that several monkeys left and returned soon, each holding wild fruits in their paws. One of them even brought bananas.

Of course, they are not as bold as the golden dots. They just place wild fruits on the rocks from a distance and keep squeaking.

Damn... these monkeys learn very quickly.

Lu Chen happened to want to eat some fruit, and then he roared at the crocodile boss and the others and dived into the water together.

Soon, six small fish were placed on the rocks on the shore.

After Lu Chen and others left, the group of monkeys rushed forward to snatch them. Then each held a small fish and left shouting excitedly.
