Evolution from the crocodile

For a while, the days returned to calm.

Lu Chen returned to his usual rhythm, digging spirit stones and hunting every day, living a leisurely life.

The spirit stone veins at the bottom of the deep pool are easier to mine than the cracks in the giant algae jungle, and the quality is much higher.

As for hunting... After learning from the previous experience and lessons, Lu Chen did not go out for the time being, but instead set traps for the mutant overlord salamanders deep in the underground caves.

He once tried using animal flesh as bait, but those guys didn't take the bait at all.

Later, Lu Chen thought about the reason for the failure. The main reason was that there were many fish in the underground cave, and the mutant overlord salamander usually did not lack food.

So now replace the bait with spirit stones.

Unsurprisingly, spiritual stones have a strong attraction to all animals.

Just half a day after it was put into the water, a mutant overlord salamander quickly took the bait.

This guy is bigger than the one two months ago, weighing 1,500 pounds.

It took Lu Chen some effort to successfully hunt it down.

At the same time, he was secretly glad that these guys lived deep underground and rarely came to the shore, let alone shuttled through the upper layers of the cave.

Otherwise, once Crocodile Boss and the others are targeted, they will definitely not survive now.

More than a thousand kilograms of high-quality flesh and blood, enough to feed myself for two or three days.

After solving the food problem, Lu Chen was temporarily idle. He simply used his toe claws to draw a simple frog jumping well chessboard in the cave hall.

The way to play this kind of chess is very simple: the chessboard is a square, with two diagonal lines drawn in the middle to intersect, and the free side is a well. Both sides hold two chess pieces each, and they win by forcing the other side's chess pieces to death.

After the chessboard was drawn, Lu Chen called the black dot to him and then taught it to play with gestures.

On the one hand, I am doing this because I am bored and want to find some fun in the monotonous life of a few little guys.

Ever since he traveled through time and became a crocodile, Lu Chen has always adhered to a philosophy: life should not only be about killing, but should be lived in a colorful way. Because of this, he quite supports Crocodile Boss learning painting.

I even think that if conditions permit in the future, I can get a tablet or something from the human world and let it learn from the videos.

On the other hand, I also want to improve the thinking ability of a few guys. They all have quite high spirituality now, and thinking and learning can give full play to their brains.

Wisdom is also an important part of strength.

Lu Chen had a vague feeling that with the advent of the era of great changes, the level of intelligence would be very important to the future evolution of animals.

Although he had a premonition, Black Spot's IQ once again impressed Lu Chen. In just two minutes, the guy figured out how to play Frog Jump.

It held the stone in its mouth and moved it smoothly. After taking a few steps, it succeeded in forcing Lu Chen to death.

The three crocodiles were also very interested in this game and came closer to observe. Soon after, Crocodile Boss took the lead in understanding the rules of the game, and then tried to fight Black Spot.

Then came Crocodile Er Er, Crocodile Little Sister... In the following days, frog jumping into wells became completely popular.

Several guys enjoyed it so much that they gathered in front of the chessboard to play two games whenever they had time, and even kept arguing with each other over the issue of winning or losing.

This shows how monotonous their previous lives were.

Of course, Lu Chen did not forget about hunting.

He didn't know how many mutant overlord salamanders were hidden in the underground river, and then two more came to die, giving him a feast.

Squeak, hiss...

Hiss...hiss...

Just as Lu Chen filled his stomach and returned to the cave, he heard the quarrel between Crocodile Boss and Black Spot.

Yes, a mutated magpie and a crocodile are bickering.

No need to guess, it must be because of playing chess.

The guy with the black spot has a high IQ and a fast brain reaction speed. He wins more than he loses when playing the Frog Jumping into the Well game. On the other hand, Crocodile Boss can win at most two out of ten games.

The situation in front of me is obviously desperate.

Lu Chen shook his head speechlessly and then ignored him.

These guys are noisy and noisy, but they don't know how to fight each other.

Today, however, things are different.

After the crocodile boss screamed for a while, his eyes suddenly turned scarlet, his body kept spinning in place, and his mood seemed to be irritable and uneasy.

Black Spot was also frightened when he saw this, and quickly closed his beak.

The crocodile boss suddenly pointed his head at the open space in the cave and opened his mouth.

Crash... A large group of water surged out.

Click, click, click, and in just a few seconds, the water flow condensed into a layer of ice.

This guy has awakened his mutant ability?

Because of the quarrel, Crocodile Boss awakened his mutant power!

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling like he was being outdone.

I relied on the system panel and constantly used energy points to bless my body, and finally I had the killer weapon of compressed energy bombs. It makes no sense for Crocodile Boss to undergo a sudden change just because he couldn't fight.

But after calming down, Lu Chen also realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

Again, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Crocodile Boss has been eating a lot of spiritual stones these days, his body is undergoing transformation little by little, and it is expected that he will eventually evolve the ability to mutate.

However, a crocodile that is afraid of the cold awakens the power of ice, which is somewhat incredible.

***

As night fell, Lu Chen fell into sleep.

Although the space in the cave is large enough, the four crocodiles have become accustomed to sleeping crowded together. The black spots jumped around on them, and finally chose a comfortable position to lie down, folded their wings, and stuck their heads into the feathers.

This guy's body has grown rapidly since he swallowed several spiritual stones. Now more than one meter long, with wings spread nearly three meters, it has completely become the aerial overlord of this jungle.

Chicha, chirp. At some unknown time, the black spot suddenly let out a strange and loud scream.

The sudden sound woke up the four crocodiles, and they looked around with wide eyes.

It was dark inside the cave, with only a faint light coming from the entrance.

Damn it, this little guy won’t have nightmares, right?

Do birds dream? Lu Chen didn't know either.

He hissed a few times in dissatisfaction and continued to sleep.

Soon, the crocodile boss and the others also fell asleep one after another.

The black spot was not sleepy at all at the moment, but looked very energetic, with a pair of eyes showing a strange red color.

It stared outside the cave for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew quietly to the entrance of the cave.

Immediately, this guy's scarlet eyes looked up at the sky, with a hint of doubt and excitement in his animal eyes.

Chirping, hissing... It returned to the cave again, rushed to the four crocodiles, and let out a rapid scream.

After calling a few times, it flapped its wings and flew out of the cave.

What happened to make this guy fuss?

In the middle of the night, Lu Chen was completely sleepless due to the noise from the black spots. He had no choice but to crawl out of the cave with all his limbs, and the crocodile boss and the others followed closely behind.

Its daybreak!

Lu Chen was stunned when he saw the light outside.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked around.

The dense shrubs and vines nearby, the tall giant trees more than ten feet away, and even the rocks hundreds of meters away are clearly visible... and further away are the rolling and fuzzy mountains.
