Evolution from the crocodile

After a slight hesitation, Lu Chen decided to dive into the bottom of the lake to find out.

After all, high risks often come with high rewards...

Of course, if he encounters an unmatched danger, he will not hold on and will choose to surface as soon as possible.

As expected, a huge underground cave appeared under the roots of the banyan tree.

Dark and deep!

Warm spring water flows continuously from it.

He waved his crocodile tail again and swam deeper into the cave.

At the same time, carefully sense the subtle fluctuations in the water flow.

Ten meters, twenty meters... The depth and length of this cave far exceeded Lu Chen's imagination.

At the same time, the temperature in the water is also rising.

When he dived thirty meters, Lu Chen stopped again.

The temperature here reaches forty degrees... It is beyond the limit of what I can bear.

After only two minutes, Lu Chen felt that his body was weak and his brain became dizzy.

Whether it was an illusion or not, he seemed to feel a faint light appearing deeper in the cave.

If you continue to dive, you may get burned.

This underground cave has always existed and will not escape. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so Lu Chen didn't force it and immediately turned around and returned.

I resurfaced and rested for half an hour before my body felt restored again.

Howl! At this time, a clear cry came from above the head.

That golden eagle is here again!

It flapped its wings and hovered thousands of meters in the air, its sharp eyes staring closely at the valley below, showing a slightly complex color. The warm sunshine splashed on the back, coating the hard feathers with a layer of gold.

A few months ago, this golden eagle was nothing like the millions of others of its kind. Living a hazy life every day, there are no other thoughts except relying on biological instinct to hunt.

Until one day, it accidentally discovered that there was so much food living in this valley.

The golden eagle was overjoyed, immediately folded its wings and pounced down, catching a big snake weighing seven or eight kilograms. After eating, I found that the meat of this big snake was very delicious, a delicacy I had never tasted before.

Instinctively, it regards the valley as a foraging place.

As an adult golden eagle, with a body length of one meter and a wingspan of two and a half meters, it is almost the limit it can reach.

However, in recent months, the golden eagle's originally formed body began to grow again, and finally its wingspan reached an astonishing three meters. The toe claws became thicker, sharper, and more powerful, and the carved feathers also became hard and glowed with golden light.

This guy even found that some dusty memories were awakening in his mind.

These memories tell it that as long as it gets enough food, it can become stronger...

But today, when his sight swept across the valley, he noticed that there seemed to be new changes in the jungle below, with many fewer snakes living in it.

There is even something that makes it uneasy, and it seems to be being watched.

It clearly remembered that there was a huge reptile living in the jungle below. When I flew into the valley to hunt before, I almost got entangled by the opponent. But I haven’t seen it for a long time recently...

So this time, the golden eagle was not in a hurry to swoop in at high speed to hunt. It just circled around in the sky, its eyes constantly focused.

Except for the decrease in snakes, there are no large beasts in the mountain forest...

Everything on the lake was normal, and he could even clearly see a piece of rotten wood floating on the shore.

In the end, the golden eagle could not resist the temptation of food. After confirming that everything was safe, it folded its wings and landed.

When it flew up, there was another big snake between its toes and claws.

Damn... I'll let you be proud for a few more days.

After watching the golden eagle disappear, Lu Chen waved his limbs again and swam towards the cave.

The newly dug cave is located under the roots of a large tree, and is basically the same structure as the previous two. The entrance is long and narrow, the interior space is huge, and there are three passages at the same time.

One of them is located at the bottom of the lake, and the exit is blocked with stones. Once you encounter irresistible danger, you can directly push the rocks away and escape from the bottom of the lake.

Whether it was the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs or the special environment in the valley, the three crocodiles recovered much faster than expected. The most seriously injured Crocodile Girl was no different from before except for two scars on her abdomen.

The only one who is a little depressed is the crocodile boss. This guy's tail has just grown out. It will probably take some time to fully recover.

After screaming hello to a few little guys, Lu Chen started his daily exercise routine again.

Running short distances, climbing trees, sprinting... until he felt exhausted, he ended his exercise and swam into a warm lake.

After exercising every day, soak in the hot springs and eat some fruits. Not to mention how refreshing it is.

On this day, the gods will not change.

If possible, Lu Chen naturally hopes to live a comfortable life.

But he also knew that it was purely a wishful thinking.

As all kinds of snakes in the valley are gradually cleared away, those beasts outside will eventually step into it again.

At that time, fighting over territory will inevitably occur.

Therefore, before the battle comes, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

***

The host has gained a total of 10,000 energy points, and the evolution condition completion rate is 100%. Do you want to start this evolution?

Start evolution Lu Chen immediately released his consciousness.

Soon, the body underwent amazing changes again.

With his previous experience, Lu Chen didn't feel any uneasiness. He just closed his eyes and felt carefully...

Half an hour later, the evolution was completed.

He immediately opened the system panel and checked his latest data.

Host: Lu Chen

Type of possession: Special crocodile

Weight: 45.6kg

Body length: 1.93 meters

Age: 1 year old

Suitable temperature: 15-40 degrees Celsius

Energy points: 55.2 (obtained by hunting food. In addition to providing daily consumption for the host, it can also be used to modify its own attributes. Currently, a total of 15.2 points have been obtained)

Claw strength: 60.9 kg

Bite force: 75.8 kg

Speed: 8.6 meters/second

Scale Defense: 60

Heart Strengthening: 20

Other attributes: None yet

Abnormal ability: None yet

Evolution level: 3 (When the host accumulates 100,000 energy points, the next level of evolution will be started. The current completion level is 0).

After this evolution, there is an additional attribute Heart Strengthening.

After seeing it, Lu Chen was a little disappointed... He originally thought that there would be mutant abilities, but he didn't expect that there would still be none.

Literally understood, heart strengthening should make your heart stronger by adding energy points.

But the heart of the crocodile itself is very powerful, with unique four chambers that isolate arterial blood and venous blood.

If in a hypoxic environment, it can even automatically reduce the heart rate from the usual more than 20 times per minute to about 1 beat per minute, thereby reducing oxygen consumption and giving priority to supplying oxygenated blood to the brain.

Therefore, in Lu Chen's opinion, this skill was very useless.

But after thinking about it, I decided to add energy points to Heart Strengthening and increase it to 30.

Then he climbed out of the cave with heavy steps.

After washing his body in the hot spring, Lu Chen ran quickly through the mountains.

Huh? It’s not useless!

It's different from what I thought before.

During the run, he clearly felt the benefits of heart strengthening.

The heart beats loudly, rapidly pumping oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body. Every inch of muscle is burning with explosive power.

After running for hundreds of meters, he slowly stopped, panting slightly.

Normally, after running so hard, it would take Lu Chen at least half an hour to recover his strength.

Now I feel just a little tired, and even have some energy left.
