Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Chapter 60: Devouring the Purus Crocodile in the Starry Sky (Please Collect and Read)
Half a day after leaving the reddish-brown stone wall.

Xu Yang has left the barren plain that looked like Laozi's elixir furnace and continued to fly towards the east.

Flying high in the sky, looking far away, after the plains disappear, undulating hills begin to appear. Like a gradient ink painting, starting from the boundary with the plains, the color of the earth gradually changes from reddish yellow to vivid, and to the east, which is blocked by the hills, it has completely restored to lush green.

"This large area of ​​hills blocks the high heat of the dry season. There should be a lot of monsters in the east."

Xu Yang's eyes showed joy. No matter where he was, the better the environment, the more living creatures there were. Compared with the purgatory scene on the plains, the east side of the hills was heaven, and there were definitely many living creatures there!

With a thought, the miniature stars in the space in Xu Yang's lower abdomen spun faster, and his speed also increased by three times.

Seeing the new cafeteria, he couldn't wait to have lunch.

really.

When Xu Yang flew over the hills, he saw a group of small animals in the rolling mountains below. They were agile and nimble in the yellow-green grass. These small animals had different fur colors, some were gray and brown, and some were colorful. They were foraging, playing, or resting. The overall activity level was much higher than that of the plains before.

In the more open grasslands, there is even a group of medium-sized animals strolling leisurely. Most of them are herbivores, such as bison, antelopes, etc.

These animals either lowered their heads to eat grass or raised their heads to observe their surroundings. Most of them were strong, with smooth muscle lines and glossy fur that sparkled in the sunlight.

The more he looked, the happier he became. These were all wild beasts, which were no longer on Xu Yang's menu. But since even wild beasts were so diverse, there was no need to say more about monsters.

Whoosh!
Xu Yang headed straight for the primeval forest on the east side of the hill.

Entering the forest, Xu Yang stepped on the soft humus. His exaggerated weight pressed the black soil under the humus into streams of turbid muddy water.

Xu Yang was pleasantly surprised to find that the ancient trees here were much taller than those in the Thunder Struck Mountains where he had been before. Many coniferous red pines, white birches and larch trees were as high as forty or fifty meters, and some could even grow to sixty or seventy meters high.

"Okay, the higher the better. I hate the feeling of my face hitting the treetops."

If Xu Yang doesn't go out for a walk, he won't know the benefits of opening his eyes and seeing the world.

Gently pulling out his front paw from the rotten soil more than a meter deep, Xu Yang brought out a large amount of black mud with a fishy smell. He waved his paw in disdain, "It stinks." In order to avoid sinking with every step, Xu Yang had to control his strength and try to step on the firm ground.

Just like before, when he arrived at a new place, Xu Yang began to search for traces of prey and sniffed the various smells floating in the air.

"I've never smelled a smell before, it's quite fragrant." Xu Yang sniffed at a pond, and became interested in the smell. Generally speaking, Xu Yang disliked aquatic animals, because aquatic animals would have a fishy smell if eaten raw, and they were cold and hard, and the strange smell gave Xu Yang a headache when he ate them...

But this time, the smell coming from the water made Xu Yang saliva involuntarily.

Strictly selected genes, trustworthy!

With a goal in mind, Xu Yang stopped wandering around and started looking for the source by following the smell. Soon, Xu Yang heard the sound of surging water like thousands of horses running together. Passing through a clump of extremely exaggerated aquatic grass, a blue water system about eight or nine hundred meters wide stretched directly in front of him.

And Xu Yang also saw the source of his appetite.

A terrifying creature lying on the protruding reef in the turbulent river, a ferocious giant crocodile nearly a hundred meters long!

"Crocodile?"

Xu Yang looked at the creature lying on the reef basking in the sun and was stunned. He had eaten crocodile meat before. At the beginning, he killed four crocodiles in the hills next to the New Valley and tasted their meat, but it was not very delicious. Why did he drool involuntarily when he saw this crocodile now?

After careful observation, Xu Yang discovered the differences between this crocodile and the four crocodiles he had eaten before.

In addition to its exaggerated and ferocious size, this crocodile's head and jaw are extremely thick, and its mouth is filled with thick, long and sharp teeth. Its body is nearly 17 meters long, with its head occupying nearly 10 meters and its width reaching meters. It lies there like a widened train.

If Xu Yang had paid more attention to prehistoric creatures in his previous life, he would have found this crocodile very familiar, at least 80% similar to the invincible killer of the late Miocene period - Purussuchus.

In the world of pure physical laws like that of the previous Earth, the Purus crocodile could reach a length of 11.5 meters, about the same size as a single-decker medium-sized bus, and weigh up to 5.5 tons. Its special structure and shape enabled its skull to withstand the tremendous pressure brought by a bite.

When arriving at the world of Devouring the Stars, it is no exaggeration to say that this stellar-level crocodile in front of you, which looks very much like the Purus crocodile, can have such a body size.

Although Xu Yang didn't know that this crocodile looked very similar to the Purus crocodile, he could tell from the rows of terrifying fangs that this crocodile was not easy to mess with.

Perhaps it was because Xu Yang stayed on the shore for too long. The giant crocodile, which had been basking in the sun with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes as big as a small house and looked at Xu Yang. It felt a strong threat from the "skinny" black wolf on the shore!
It was the aura of a fellow top predator that made its muscles involuntarily tense up.

"Hulu~~~Ang~~~"

The giant crocodile turned its head and glared at Xu Yang, while its limbs slowly moved and its tail began to go into the water. It has never been a brainless creature to have survived to this day and even to rule this long water system from the Arctic Plain in the north to the unfrozen sea in the south. It must first return to the battlefield where it is best - the water.

"Wow~~~"

A large cloud of white mud was raised, and the giant crocodile disappeared directly on the reef.

The surging river water became even more turbid because of the crocodile. Although Xu Yang couldn't see clearly, he was not a newbie who had just come to this world for the first time. The giant crocodile was definitely swimming underwater at this time. If he dared to go into the water, the crocodile would definitely not mind having a meal.

With the support of two major domains and his own strength reaching the fifth level of the stellar grade, Xu Yang was very confident that he would not be eaten as a snack by the crocodile. He was even very confident that he could kill the crocodile directly!
But it's not cost-effective.

Stellar-level monsters should be saved for killing after one breaks through to the cosmic level. There are a limited number of star-level monsters on a planet. If this crocodile is hunted down at this time, it means that the [resources] that one can obtain will be one unit less when one reaches the cosmic level.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang lowered his body, slowly pushed aside the thatch with a cautious attitude, and retreated back to the primeval forest behind him.
