Evolution from the crocodile

Knowing the attack principle of the giant algae tentacles, Lu Chen was much more careful next time.

He stretched out his sharp claws again and pulled hard on one of the branches... The power of the huge toe claws exploded instantly.

It was prickly... The branch as thick as a teacup was cut off directly.

He placed one piece on his toe and observed it carefully. After five minutes, nothing abnormal happened.

Obviously, after the pine needle sucker is separated from the mother's body, it no longer has the function of sucking blood.

After the mutation, this kind of thing can no longer be regarded as a plant, or is it a combination of animals and plants? A thought suddenly came to Lu Chen's mind: If he swallowed it, he didn't know how many energy points it would provide.

Immediately, it was rejected again.

Lu Chen was not sure whether this half of the giant algae was really completely dead. You know, many algae in nature can reproduce through cell division.

This thing is really weird. It would be terrible if it did not die, but instead sucked flesh and blood in its own belly to grow and reproduce!

Then, he swam close to the tiger shark carcass, waving his forelimbs continuously and pulling off large groups of giant algae branches.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Chen seemed to hear painful screams coming from it.

He stopped and listened carefully, but there was no sound.

Seeing branches of giant algae floating over, Lu Chen didn't dare to stay and immediately picked up the tiger shark body and left. It wasn't until he was completely out of the trench that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Take a short rest, then drag the prey up slowly...

Returning to the sea surface again, Lu Chen turned his head and looked carefully at the remains of the tiger shark.

In just ten minutes, the surface of this guy's body had been gnawed away by suckers, as if he had been dead for a long time.

Lu Chen used his claws to grab a small piece of flesh, swallowed it and felt it carefully.

Tiger shark, family Carcharhinidae, genus Tiger Shark, can provide 5 energy points...

Data will soon be displayed on the system panel.

As expected, after the tiger shark's flesh and blood was devoured by the giant algae, the energy points contained in it were also reduced a lot.

If Lu Chen hadn't snatched it away, it would not take long for the flesh and blood to be sucked away, leaving only the bones falling to the bottom of the sea.

Now that his stomach was full, he was not hungry for the time being, so he simply buried the tiger shark carcass deep in the mud and sand on the seabed and hid it. Then he continued to float on the sea surface and bask in the sun until his physical strength recovered. Lu Chen appeared in the giant algae jungle for the third time.

After thinking about the attack method of the giant algae tentacles, he became much bolder.

The body swam slowly, carefully exploring the surrounding abnormalities.

Just like the pythons in the Hot Spring Valley, since these giant algae have changed, it means that there must be some unknown changes in this trench. If you can find the reason, you might get an opportunity.

What Lu Chen didn't expect was that there were hundreds of mutant giant algae growing in the trench, forming a huge jungle of death. Inside, the faint sunlight penetrated, giving him a dark and terrifying feeling.

On many pine needle tentacles, you can also see struggling marine life. Obviously, these unlucky ghosts just broke into it and had no idea about the strangeness of the giant algae, so they were captured unknowingly.

The closer you get to the center, the more remains of marine life are found in the mud and sand.

There was actually a human remains, which made Lu Chen feel horrified and a little strange at the same time.

etc……

He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly stopped. The beast's eyes were wide open, shining with incredible light.

This skeletal body...is not human!

No, I should say not entirely human. It has a human head, a spine, clearly visible ribs, and two arms. But the lower part has a fish tail.

The legendary mermaid? !

Yes, it is indeed a human body with a fish tail, exactly like the legend in the previous life.

Lu Chen was shocked!

He believed that it was definitely not made by someone on the Internet using other animal bones to attract attention. After all, no one would do anything weird at a depth of several hundred meters.

What's more, I didn't see any traces of splicing.

When searching for information before, Lu Chen did not see any authoritative statement about mermaids on the Internet. Just like the previous life, they are just specious legends.

It shows that in this world, mermaids are also extremely rare and not well known by people.

If such a body was brought to the outside world, it would probably shock everyone!

As he got closer to the mermaid skeleton, the strange feeling became clearer, as if something was attracting him. Soon, Lu Chen discovered a rough necklace hanging from the other person's cervical vertebrae. The lowest few stones, which are as big as fingernails, emit a dim red light.

Lingshi, seeing the Lingshi again!

Lu Chen suddenly became excited, clasped the skull's head with his sharp claws, and carefully took off the necklace.

After taking a closer look, he woke up from his excitement.

These spirit stones are too small and have dull surfaces. Obviously they don't contain too many energy points and are of little use to you. What's more, there are hundreds of kilograms of tiger shark flesh and blood out there.

Therefore, Lu Chen did not intend to swallow the spirit stone, but planned to take it back to the crocodile boss and the others.

The black-tailed rock python had a sudden change, most likely because it swallowed the spirit stone. I hope these stones can be helpful to a few guys.

Sensing abnormal fluctuations in the water flow, Lu Chen hurriedly hung the stone necklace on his teeth, twisted his body and swam away.

In just a short moment, several more branches of giant algae quietly approached.

These guys are really hard to guard against.

Next, Lu Chen continued to explore the depths of the trench.

Since there were mermaid skeletons nearby, it was very likely that there were still alive ones... He couldn't help but feel a little hopeful in his heart.

This trench was much longer than expected. He swam forward along the edge of the kelp jungle for half an hour, but still did not reach the end.

After a while, Lu Chen stopped.

The terrain in front of me seemed familiar.

Conches, seashells, fish bone remains... and a huge sea turtle shell.

After carefully looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Chen finally confirmed that he had just made a big circle and returned to the starting point.

Ghost hitting the wall?

Or maybe it was the gloomy kelp jungle that blocked his vision, causing him to circle around involuntarily.

Lu Chen sensed carefully and confirmed that there was no problem with his consciousness. During the entire exploration process just now, we had indeed been advancing along the edge of the trench. But how could it come back?

Lu Chen refused to give up and swam forward again.

Every once in a while, he would use his toe claws to leave a few clear scratch marks on prominent locations on the reef.

Until...back to the starting point.

At this point, Lu Chen confirmed that he had not lost his way, but that there was something strange about the terrain, and it was not the trench as previously imagined. It is a huge underwater ring-shaped pit, similar to the Great Blue Hole of Belize in its previous life.

Based on the distance traveled just now, the diameter of the annular pit is at least one thousand meters. This sea area is only a few hundred miles away from Madura. Perhaps because it is located on the deep seabed, it has not been discovered by humans.

Or it may have been discovered but just not noticed. After all, the mutation in the giant algae was probably only a few months ago.

So if you want to reveal the secrets here, just explore the center of the pit.
