Evolution from the crocodile

The full moon is bright tonight, giving the winter mountains a layer of silver.

There was an open area under the moonlight, and three camping tents had already been set up.

In the open space in front of the tent, a poacher was adding seasonings to a suspended iron pot. A blazing flame burned under the pot, and soon an alluring aroma wafted out.

For Lu Chen, who was hiding in the dark woods, this was a long-lost smell that awakened the long-silent memory of his previous life: the smell of braised beef.

However, he personally feels that Laotan pickled cabbage has more flavor.

Woooo...

From time to time, low and hoarse screams came from the tent, as if some animal had its mouth sealed.

Soon two poachers walked out of the tent, their bodies exuding a strong smell of blood. Lu Chen could identify the aura of the clouded leopard.

One of them was carrying a huge golden eagle in his hand, which must have been wailing before.

This former king of the air looked extremely miserable. Its proud iron hooks and sharp claws and its wings that soared into the sky were tightly tied up with ropes, losing all resistance.

A pair of reddish-brown pupils were filled with surprise and fear.

This guy didn't understand what the two humans in front of him planned to do to him.

Lu Chen clearly saw another poacher holding a slender steel needle in his left hand and pressing it on the golden eagle's head, and swinging a hammer in his right hand.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound is as deep as a drum!

The slender steel needle pierced the golden eagle's feathers, penetrated the muscles, penetrated the skull, and penetrated the brain...

The guy screamed in pain, but couldn't break free from the poacher's grasp.

A few seconds later, the bald man pulled out the thin steel needle with a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had just completed a perfect work.

Lu Chen, who was in the darkness in the distance, felt that his limbs and body were cold.

For some reason, the push-pull box at the bottom of Liuhu Lake came to mind again.

Animals kill for food and survival, but humans have almost endless desires...

Bring the knife. At this time, the bald man sounded again.

What are you doing, Brother Jiang? the young man asked in confusion.

I cut off its crop. This thing is a miracle medicine for treating stomach problems. The previous buyer promised to pay 10,000 yuan each.

That is indeed quite valuable, but it won't damage the appearance of the golden eagle. Let's not lose the big for the small. If these things are made into specimens and shipped to big cities, they can be sold for hundreds of thousands each.

The young man said again, with a little worry on his face.

Don't worry, you have a lot of confidence in Brother Jiang's craftsmanship. The bald man replied, neatly slit the golden eagle's throat with a knife, stretched out his hand to pull out the crop, and then started peeling off the skin...

The whole set of actions was very skillful, and it was obvious that he had done similar things before.

Lu Chen originally just wanted to confirm whether he was photographed by the drone, but now he was extremely angry and felt like a fire was burning in his body.

These guys are absolutely unforgivable! !

He had already made a rule in his mind to avoid interacting with humans as much as possible.

Now this rule is broken...

After all, it’s hard to calm down!

Lu Chen moved his limbs and, using the cover of the dark grass, quietly crawled towards the direction of the tent.

Jingle Bell……

When he was less than twenty meters away from the three poachers, his forelimb suddenly touched an extremely thin transparent silk thread.

Immediately afterwards, the swinging bell rang.

Careless!

Hearing the sound, Lu Chen suddenly felt bad. I never expected that these poachers would be so vigilant that they would set up early warning devices around the camp.

The transparent silk thread was hidden in the grass, inconspicuous in the dark night, and he didn't notice it at all.

What's going on?! Almost the next moment, the young man grabbed the bright flashlight next to him and shined it.

Immediately, he shouted in shock: Oh my God, what the hell is this?

The remaining two people also turned their heads and widened their eyes.

In the dazzling light, they saw a reptile covered in black scales and thick limbs? !

The other party's mouth was slightly open, with teeth as sharp as knives on full display. A pair of beast eyes flashed with scarlet light under the light.

Even... they seemed to see a ferocious murderous intention in it.

Is this a crocodile?

Is this riding horse really a crocodile? !

The first time the huge thing appeared in the darkness, they almost thought it was a dream.

How could there be a crocodile in the forest? This is unscientific and ridiculous!

Although they have never poached crocodiles, they know that these creatures live near water. It is impossible to exist deep in the mountains.

On a moonlit night, a cold wind blows!

The faces of the three poachers were filled with fear and disbelief.

What the hell, just shoot him to death! The bald man reacted first, turned around quickly and grabbed the shotgun leaning against the campfire.

These guys started first, so you can't blame yourself!

In fact, Lu Chen had not really thought about how to deal with the three poachers just before they were discovered.

He knew that once he struck out, it would mean breaking some kind of shackles, or some kind of persistence!

Seeing the bald man opposite him raising his gun and preparing to take aim, Lu Chen made a move...

With his limbs clasped on the ground, he dodged again and again, and jumped out to a distance of nearly ten meters.

The bald man thinks he has good marksmanship. He has poached South China tigers, leopards, and even black bears in this jungle without missing a beat, and has received 100% praise from buyers.

But it was his first time to aim and shoot at prey at such a close range.

With a body length of more than two meters and a weight of more than 100 kilograms, when such a huge predator sprints at a speed of nine meters per second, the huge impact pressure it brings can make people collapse instantly.

Before he even had time to pull the trigger, he felt a bloody mouth appear in front of him, and a fishy wind rushed towards him...

My mind went blank, and then... nothing more.

***

The bonfires in the camp gradually extinguished, the moon also penetrated into the clouds, and darkness once again occupied this mountain forest.

The smell of blood gradually spreads with the cold wind.

After Lu Chen confirmed that nothing was missing, he turned around and disappeared.

However, he did not leave too far, he just hid on the big tree in the jungle and quietly observed the movement more than a hundred meters away.

An hour later, a lone wolf smelled something and appeared near the camp.

This guy cautiously explored and finally came to the bonfire step by step.

Then it left again.

Lu Chen was not disappointed... If he guessed correctly, the one just now should be the elite scout wolf in the wolf pack, mainly responsible for finding traces of prey in the territory.

Once they find something, they will immediately return to report to the Wolf King. The Wolf King summons his subjects to besiege the prey according to the situation.

Ten minutes later, there was indeed a rustling sound in the grass opposite, and pairs of eyes with dim light appeared in the dark night...

The strong smell of blood permeated the entire night again...

Seeing that all the traces he left behind were destroyed, Lu Chen was completely relieved.

He quietly scurried under the tree, picked up the drone and mobile phone hidden in the grass, and left further away.

Arriving at the river, Lu Chen immediately smashed the drone into pieces and then sank into the mud at the bottom of the river. Then he tried to unlock the phone, but this time he didn't have such good luck.

After a few times, I had no choice but to give up.

Anyway, there is no signal here, and it is no different from a brick in my hand, so I just throw it into the river and end the problem.
