Prehistoric? Choose the crocodile and survive until version T0.

Carter, the American player, looked at Lin Ye's stats with an extremely serious expression, radiating intense hostility.

He knew that this Chinese player, who had made a comeback with T4, had become his biggest rival on his road to victory, and that the two would soon face off.

Global powers and research institutions have devoted themselves to studying the evolutionary path of the Forest Wilderness, attempting to decipher the powerful code of the Primordial Crocodile. However, no matter how they study it, they cannot replicate the legend of the Forest Wilderness.

They finally understood that it wasn't that the crocodile was weak, but that no one had ever been able to bring out the crocodile's patience, wisdom, and fighting power to the extreme like Lin Ye.

In the swamp, Lin Linye moved swiftly, disappearing into the mud like a ghost and vanishing into the depths of the swamp.

With his danger perception talent activated, he could clearly perceive all air currents and biological scents within a hundred-meter radius. Even the movement of a tiny prehistoric insect could not escape his detection.

After another round of restoring his breathing, his physical condition was completely restored to its peak.

At this moment, he is undoubtedly the top hunter in this swamp, a dark horse on the global player rankings that all the strong are wary of.

[Host: Linye]

[Species: Protosuchus (T4)]

[Status: Unharmed, Peak Physical Performance]

Survival Rating: 320/100

Global Ranking: 6/203

Evolutionary point: 1

[Racial Traits: Low-Speed ​​Self-Healing, Mud Concealment, Crocodile Instinct, Basic Scale Armor, Scale Scratching, Basic Bite Force Enhancement, Basic Speed ​​Enhancement, Danger Sense]

The system panel data is impressive; with only 1 evolution point remaining, it does not diminish Lin Ye's confidence in the slightest.

With the enhancements, he already possessed the ability to hunt top-tier prehistoric creatures, and accumulating evolution points was only a matter of time.

Lin Ye used his sense of danger to accurately pinpoint an extremely strong biological aura.

That was a giant prehistoric lungfish located in the heart of the swamp. It was enormous and had thick flesh. It was the top carnivorous fish in this swamp, with strong defense and amazing strength. Even if ordinary players encountered it, they would only choose to go around it. It was extremely difficult to hunt, but in return, it could provide a huge number of evolution points and survival points.

Previously, Lin Ye would never have easily provoked such a powerful prey, but now, with his speed, perception, and attack power all at their maximum, he is fully confident that he can take down this giant lungfish and complete a new round of resource accumulation.

Without further hesitation, Lin Ye moved, unleashing the full power of his initial speed enhancement. His entire body shot forward like an arrow, skimming along the mud at lightning speed. Wherever he passed, only a barely perceptible ripple appeared. His speed far surpassed anything he had ever achieved before.

Thanks to his sense of danger, he accurately avoided the small predators and other players' activity areas along the way, remaining completely silent and reaching the central waters of the swamp in less than 15 minutes.

The waters before them grew increasingly deep and murky. The surface was calm and still, but danger lurked beneath the surface. That powerful aura emanated from the depths of the water.

Lin Ye slowly submerged underwater. With the help of his basic underwater diving ability, he became even more agile and, following the scent, slowly approached the hiding place of the giant lungfish.

Deep underwater, a giant lungfish, over three meters long, was coiled in a mud burrow. Its body was covered with thick scales, and its mouth was open, revealing fine, sharp teeth, displaying its formidable fighting power.

It is one of the overlords of this waterway, with very few natural enemies. It usually runs rampant and is completely unaware that a deadly threat has already descended.

Lin Ye lay prone in the mud at the bottom of the water, his ability to conceal himself in the mud at its maximum, his aura completely blending into the underwater environment, patiently waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

Crocodiles are never short of patience when hunting. The stronger the prey, the more they want to kill it with one blow, never giving it a chance to fight back.

Time passed slowly, and the giant lungfish slowly emerged from its burrow and swam forward, completely exposed to Lin Ye's attack range.

It's now!

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he unleashed his full power, accelerating to his maximum speed. Like a black shadow, he suddenly darted out from the bottom of the water, heading straight for the weak spot on the side of the giant lungfish!

He unleashed his full power to strengthen his primary bite, his jaw taut, determined to deliver this blow!

But just as he was about to pounce on his prey, his sense of danger suddenly gave him a frantic warning. A hostility far more powerful and colder than that of the giant lungfish locked onto him instantly!

[Top Danger Warning! Approaching ultra-high-end combat force detected, hostility level 100%!]

[Threat Level: Peak! The opponent possesses the ability to instantly kill the host!]

The system alarm blared, and Lin Ye's expression changed drastically. He forcibly stopped his forward momentum and, relying on his extreme speed, rolled to the side to dodge!

Boom!

A massive figure descended from the sky, its thick claws slamming into the spot where he had been standing. The silt at the bottom of the water exploded instantly, and murky mud splashed everywhere. The powerful impact made Lin Ye's body go numb, and he was almost seriously injured by the aftershock.

He quickly regained his balance and looked up. He saw a huge, fierce-looking early carnivorous dinosaur standing in the water, its eyes fixed on him, radiating an overwhelming aura of power.

American athlete, Carter!

Ranked third globally, he controls a top-tier predator, is widely considered the favorite to win the season championship, and is currently the strongest player who harbors the deepest animosity towards Lin Ye!

Carter slowly stepped forward, the mud parting at his feet, his cold voice echoing throughout the arena via the global players' public channel, and simultaneously reaching live streams worldwide.

"Little crocodile from the Dragon Kingdom, you're quite good at hiding."

"Just because you have a little bit of cleverness and beat two useless guys, you really think you're a top player?"

"T4 is still T4. In the face of absolute strength, your so-called comeback is nothing but a joke."

His tone was extremely arrogant, full of naked provocation and contempt. He came here to crush Lin Ye in public, completely eliminate this Dragon Country contestant who threatened his position, and demonstrate his hegemonic status.

The giant lungfish, which was originally preparing to hunt, was so frightened by Carter's overwhelming pressure that it trembled and dared not make the slightest move. It curled up in the mud at the bottom of the water and became nothing more than a background figure.

The atmosphere in the entire central waterway instantly froze to freezing point, and the confrontation between the peak experts was about to erupt.

This scene, broadcast live globally, instantly went viral across the internet!

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, the viewers who had just calmed down suddenly felt their hearts leap into their throats again, their faces filled with tension and anger.

"It's Carter! A top-tier T0 dinosaur, the third strongest in the world!"

"That's outrageous! They actually came to provoke us, bullying us just because they're the first species to be challenged!"

"Lin Ye just finished defeating two top players, and now an even stronger one is coming. Is he trying to wipe them out completely?"

Inside the official commentary booth, Chen Guoan, Zhang Lei, and others wore solemn expressions and furrowed brows.

Carter's strength far surpasses that of Sato and Park Jun-ho. With the innate advantage of a T0 top-tier predator, coupled with his accumulated combat power as the third-ranked player, he is not someone that can be easily contended with. This is the strongest and most deadly opponent that Lin Ye has encountered on his road to rise.

In overseas livestream rooms, however, it was a scene of revelry.

American viewers went wild, flooding social media with calls for Carter to completely crush Lin Ye and wash away the previous humiliation.

The audience from other countries also enjoyed the spectacle, eagerly awaiting Lin Ye's swift elimination.

"Go, Carter! Let this arrogant crocodile know who the true king of the field is!"

"That worthless crocodile dares to provoke a top predator? Today is his death day!"

The world's attention was focused on the waters in the center of the swamp, and on Lin Ye and Carter.

Everyone believed that Lin Ye had no chance of winning; this match would only be a one-sided crushing defeat.
