Evolution from the crocodile

Thinking of this, Lu Chen showed some doubts.

He was certain that he had not seen any giant piranha schools when migrating along the river before.

Even when I was hunting in the tributaries recently, I didn't encounter them.

Therefore, the way these guys survive is most likely different from their previous lives. They should usually act alone and spread out to hunt.

Only the strong smell of blood from this water area caused them to gather briefly.

Lu Chen felt that his guess was close to the correct answer.

If giant piranhas continue to hunt in swarms, they will definitely become the most ferocious predators in the river. Even the huge crocodiles will not be able to survive here.

Lu Chen originally planned to go into the depths of the jungle to explore after a while, but now he has decisively given up on this idea.

No one knows if there are more dangerous creatures out there.

After all, it is no longer the world that I am familiar with.

For now, I have to continue to suffer.

Everything will be discussed after evolving into a fourth-level crocodile.

Lu Chen's heart moved slightly and he turned his attention to the system panel.

Host: Lu Chen

Type of possession: Special crocodile

Weight: 238kg

Body length: 3.52 meters

Age: 1 year and 5 months

Suitable temperature: 15-40 degrees Celsius

Energy points: 193.9 (obtained by hunting food or spiritual stones. In addition to providing the host with daily consumption, it can also be used to modify its own attributes. Currently, a total of 80856.6 points have been obtained)

Claw strength: 433 kg

Bite force: 495 kg

Speed: 10.8 meters/second

Scale Defense: 260

Heart Strengthening: 180

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 rate is 80.9%).

In another month at most, we should be able to achieve what we need for evolution.

After seeing the energy points displayed on the panel, another thought came to Lu Chen's mind: I wonder what the quality of the piranha's flesh and blood is.

He could see clearly just now that the largest one was more than one meter and a half long and was estimated to weigh more than a hundred kilograms. Among freshwater fish, they are definitely giants.

It takes more than ten years to grow to such a large size.

If you encounter it later, you can try to capture it.

I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I shouldn't be afraid of their sharp teeth.

As for today... forget it!

Looking at the mutilated corpse, Lu Chen really couldn't get interested.

***

209, 210, 211... Lu Chen silently recited the numbers in his heart. Clasp your limbs on the big stone, press your body down, and then stand up.

Powerful muscle groups, filled with explosive energy.

As the number increased, his breathing from mouth to nose became heavier and heavier.

It was like pushing a bellows, making a hissing sound.

The large amount of heat accumulated in the body cannot be eliminated, and the body temperature rises sharply.

At the same time, my heart kept beating.

It seems that if I continue, I will exceed the limit of my body's endurance.

Although his strength was not exhausted, Lu Chen did not force himself to persevere. He jumped to the ground, stretched his limbs, and swam into the water with a flick of his tail.

The warm river water nourishes the body and takes away the heat that cannot be excreted in the body, giving an indescribable comfort.

For Lu Chen, who had become a crocodile, life like this was actually quite good if he did not consider the coming era of great changes. There is no mortgage pressure, no need to worry about the 996 blessing report... you can just sit back and relax.

In just a few minutes, the body temperature returned to normal.

I had eaten all the mutated black-tailed python yesterday, and it was almost time to go out to look for food.

After learning that there were a large number of giant piranhas distributed in the river, Lu Chen tried to hunt them.

A simple trap with the smell of blood can attract these guys.

The results also confirmed his suspicion that giant piranhas usually disperse to hunt. Only the strong smell of blood will attract them to swarm.

Moreover, the piranha's teeth cannot cause any harm to itself. The scale defense is only good at this point, and the effect is very effective.

It's just that the energy points provided by these guys are not as many as expected, and the quality of the flesh and blood is quite low, about 2 points per pound.

After tasting it once, Lu Chen gave up and threw the remaining few to Crocodile Boss and the others.

After leaving the cave, Lu Chen sniffed and smelled a lot of animal scent coming from the nearby jungle. But he didn't stop and continued swimming further away.

For Lu Chen, he would not hunt nearby unless he had to.

On the one hand, these animals can be regarded as a reserve of food in case of emergency. On the other hand, it is mainly for the sake of the three crocodile brothers and sisters. Their body size is also expanding rapidly, and they also need a lot of food every day to fill their stomachs.

After swimming four or five miles away, Lu Chen quickly smelled the scent of a herd of wild boars.

He quietly landed ashore and headed deep into the dense jungle.

It is said that wild boars are extremely adaptable, and their distribution range is very wide, both in their previous lives and in this world.

They can be seen in tropical rainforests, temperate broadleaf forests, and boreal coniferous forests. This guy is also an important food source for many carnivores.

With his increasingly stronger limbs and keen sense of smell, Lu Chen could hunt deep into the jungle like a cat. Instead of following the example of ordinary crocodiles, they can only stay near the river swamps and passively wait for prey to appear.

In addition, the dense green plants also provided the perfect shield for Lu Chen. After hearing the sound of wild boar activity, he was not in a hurry to hunt. Instead, he detoured to the downwind, slowly approached, and suddenly attacked...

In nature, the African wild dog had the highest success rate in hunting carnivores, reaching an astonishing 85%.

These guys may seem inconspicuous, but they have powerful hunting abilities, and their ferocity is even higher than that of spotted hyenas. Prey targeted by African wild dogs is extremely difficult to escape, and large herbivores such as antelope, wildebeest, and zebra are their food.

As for the well-known wolves, the hunting success rate is only about 14%.

Of course, the main reason why African wild dogs have such a high hunting success rate is that they implement group tactics.

After Lu Chen evolved to level 3 Crocodile, he basically fought alone. But with the help of human wisdom, the success rate has reached almost 100%, and it has never failed so far.

It's the same today, no surprises...

After swallowing a half-grown wild boar, Lu Chen returned with the captured wild boar in his mouth.

Arriving at the predetermined location, he threw the wild boar cub into the grass near the shore, dived underwater and waited.

Naturally, this was done because of the tiger-hunting plan that was still in his mind.

This time I didn’t have to wait long, and soon two brown-gray jackals appeared after smelling the scent.

They explore the area for a moment and then run towards their prey.

Damn... Lu Chen was furious immediately.

After jumping from the bottom of the water to the shore, the sharp claws were swung out one after another, smashing the two guys' heads into pieces.

The body was buried under the water and he continued to wait.

Until it was almost dark, no tiger appeared.

This made Lu Chen a little depressed. I wonder if this guy he has never met has moved.

He didn't seem to smell anything fresh in the neighborhood in the past two days.

The wild boar's two hind legs were broken and it was impossible to feed him. Lu Chen simply swallowed the little guy, then picked up the two jackal corpses and returned to the cave. One is used as food for the crocodile boss, and the other is kept for himself to eat tomorrow.
