Evolution from the crocodile

Hiss, hiss

Little Crocodile Girl hurriedly crawled to the baby bird to stop it, making a threatening cry.

What do you mean, it’s not for yourself? Lu Chen was confused again and didn't understand what Crocodile Laosi wanted to do.

But he saw the other party leave in a hurry, and when he returned, he spit out a few small fish from his mouth.

Hiss... It slapped the ground with its toes a few more times and kept barking at Lu Chen.

Planning to raise a little bird to play with? After seeing the previous example of Crocodile Laosi raising gold points, Lu Chen finally understood.

He was convinced that this guy's brain structure was really different from that of ordinary crocodiles. I raised monkeys before, and now I plan to raise a baby bird... Has this enabled the breeding skill?

Lu Chen had always been tolerant of Crocodile Lao's four bizarre behaviors.

However, feeding a fish directly will probably kill the baby bird.

He didn't intend to pay any attention to it, but just let Crocodile Laosi do whatever he wanted, and he would be able to use it as food if he died.

It's just that the little bird opened its mouth and screamed, making the noise annoying.

Forget it...save it's life, it's still a life.

Anyway, I am idle, just have fun.

Based on his experience in his previous life, young birds are actually easy to feed as long as they have food.

It happens that the soil in the valley is moist and harbors many small bugs.

Lu Chen casually scratched the ground with his sharp claws a few times, and dug out more than a dozen rats and bugs.

Rat bugs, also called rat bugs, woodlice, and watermelon bugs, like to live in moist soil and rotting leaves. These small bugs are gray-black in body, no more than half a centimeter long at most, and their carapace is brittle and soft.

It is easy for young birds to digest when swallowed.

Seeing the small bugs escaping in all directions, Lu Chen smacked them with his claws and killed four or five of them.

Then lift the tip of the claw and place it gently next to the baby bird's mouth.

The whole process was done carefully, for fear of accidentally popping the little guy's head.

As for whether there were bacteria in the rat worm's body, Lu Chen didn't care that much.

If the little guy can survive, it means he has a good life. If you can't live, don't blame yourself.

Hiss, hiss... Crocodile Laosi shouted excitedly as he watched the little guy eat the food. To it, it seemed like it had found a novel toy.

***

Facing the wind, Lu Chen could smell the fresh scent of human beings from a distance.

Sure enough, it was discovered...

According to his prediction, the camp in the deep mountains and old forests should not be discovered until very late. Unexpectedly, just a week after the incident, other humans arrived, and they also brought hunting dogs with them.

Having learned the lesson from last time, Lu Chen quietly approached from the downwind.

Even though I knew I didn't leave any clues, I still felt uneasy if I didn't take a closer look.

After jumping onto the tree, he completely hid his body among the leaves. Quietly, he stuck his head out and watched from a distance.

Four men and two women, wearing jackets, were exploring and taking photos near the camp. One of them, an old man with gray hair, should be their leader.

The other party squatted down and pointed at the marks on the ground and said: Look at the tracks of the beasts nearby. They are very clear. The gap between the first two toes is relatively narrow, and the top of the tracks is pointed, which is a typical mark left by a gray wolf. In addition, these The tracks seem messy, but in fact each group is distributed in a straight line, with dogs walking in a large area and wolves walking in a line. The conclusion is obvious. This group of poachers may have killed many gray wolves, and eventually got into trouble with the wolves and camped at night. was attacked...

These people died unjustly. They deserved it. They dared to attack golden eagles and clouded leopards. Each of them can make them sit for more than ten years... A young man next to him spoke angrily, and then added, In recent years, Months ago, the animal resources in the A92 and A93 areas have decreased significantly. Is it also related to poachers?

They are all staff of the reserve, and they are mainly responsible for maintaining, tracking and collecting information on the activities of wild animals in the Tiannan Mountains.

Half a month ago, several people recycled far-infrared detection cameras set up in the reserve and conducted statistical analysis of the data. They found that the wildlife resources in two areas had declined sharply.

What's even more strange is that the camera did not capture any traces of large carnivorous animals.

In order to find out the truth, this group of staff went into the mountain to investigate. As a result, they soon discovered an abandoned and messy camp through a drone, as well as human remains that had been chewed up and only bones were left.

Judging from the traces left in the camp, there is no doubt that the deceased was identified as a poacher.

It's possible. Hearing this, the old man nodded.

It's just that he was a little strange why he didn't see the remains of the gray wolf.

Lu Chen was completely relieved when he heard that the humans in the distance did not suspect him.

As for what happened next, he did not continue to pay attention and did not intend to meet the other party face to face.

In addition, Lu Chen can be sure that the decrease in wild animals mentioned by the young people... is likely to have something to do with him.

Lu Chen now weighs more than 200 kilograms and can eat almost 30 kilograms of food in one meal. This means eating at least two wild boar piglets a day, or other animals of the same weight.

Even Lu Chen himself felt that there was less and less food in the nearby mountains and forests. Now, to fill his stomach, he hunts farther and farther, sometimes even swimming hundreds of miles along rivers.

There are also far-infrared detection cameras set up by humans in the jungle. Lu Chen has seen them several times while hunting.

However, when he smells a human scent nearby, he will note the location and stay away from it.

So so far, no trace has been photographed.

Moreover, from the conversations between these humans, it was also confirmed that the other party had not discovered the existence of a few crocodiles.

However, Lu Chen knew in his heart that if he often walked by the river, his shoes would not get wet, and one day he would be found.

He had already been mentally prepared: once discovered by humans, he would immediately continue migrating south with the three crocodiles. For this species, it is a true paradise. There are wider tropical rainforests and more abundant food.

Lu Chen is currently in a period of rapid growth. In a month at most, his weight will exceed 400 kilograms. Even if you really enter the tropical rainforest, you should have enough ability to protect yourself.

Of course, if possible, Lu Chen hopes to stay in this protected area for a longer period of time. It is best to become a level 4 crocodile before heading further south.

It is clearly displayed on the system panel that the energy points have just been accumulated to more than 20,000, and the next upgrade is still far away. At the current rate, it will take at least two months.

After leaving the human camp, Lu Chen continued to swim upstream along the river. After swimming for more than ten miles, a large lake appeared in front of us.

This was his first time coming to this place.

Soon, Lu Chen became excited.

In the grass on the shore, he smelled a lot of wild animals.

There were even a group of big white guys swimming slowly on the water not far away.

Is this... a swan?

After carefully identifying their faces, Lu Chen confirmed that he had seen them correctly.

It has been so long since he became a crocodile that he has never eaten swan meat.

In my heart, I miss you very much.

Soon, Lu Chen found the target.

On the edge of the reeds ahead, there are two plump water birds. One is a swan and the other is also a swan.
