Prehistoric? Choose the crocodile and survive until version T0.

In the pure white void, Lin Ye looked at the selection results on the light screen, feeling the overwhelming insults and ridicule from the outside world, but his eyes remained calm and unwavering.

He ignored all the negative voices, his gaze fixed on the phantom of the Primordial Crocodile he had chosen, his heart filled with unwavering certainty.

People are foolish; they only see the strength or weakness of the present moment and do not understand the eternal way.

You may briefly dominate the current version, but ultimately you will face extinction and nerfs.

I choose the crocodile species that have survived for 400 million years, and from then on, I will be invincible!

[All contestant species have been selected!]

[You will soon be transported to the prehistoric world of the Middle to Late Triassic period in Season 1!]

[Possession process initiated; the contestant's consciousness is simultaneously merging into the biological body. The countdown will begin in 10 seconds!]

The system notification sounded again, and in the void, Lin Ye's body slowly became transparent, and the tiny phantom of the Primordial Crocodile completely merged with his consciousness.

Hearing the increasingly rampant mockery from the outside world and feeling the despair of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, Lin Ye silently made a vow in his heart.

just wait.

Before long, I will silence all the mockers and make the whole world understand how right my choice is today!

With this T4 crocodile body, I will carve a bloody path through the prehistoric Triassic period to protect the fate of the Dragon Kingdom!

The countdown reached zero, and the light completely engulfed consciousness.

The next second, Lin Ye's consciousness completely descended into the Triassic swamp, transforming into that tiny Evoda crocodile.

And this struggle for survival, which concerns the fate of the nation and overturns global perceptions, has only just begun!

The light faded, and consciousness returned.

Unlike the pure white silence of the void, Lin Ye's senses were completely overwhelmed by an extremely primal, rough, and vibrant aura.

What rushed into my nostrils was not air, but a fishy, ​​sweet smell mixed with rotting seaweed and mud.

What covered the skin was not clothing, but a thin, rough, and cold layer of keratinous scales.

What came from my limbs was no longer the freedom of walking upright, but the heaviness and restriction of crawling close to the ground.

He became the primordial crocodile.

A tiny prehistoric creature, less than 30 centimeters long and weighing only a few kilograms.

Lin Ye slowly opened his "eyes"—a pair of small, round eyes that protruded from the sides of his head and were filled with vertical pupils.

As far as the eye could see, there was a murky and muddy swamp.

Decaying leaves and dark green algae float on the water's surface, surrounded by dense prehistoric ferns with thick trunks and umbrella-like leaves that block out the sun and cut the sunlight into tiny dappled spots.

This is the Triassic period.

This is the hellish place of the T4 Primal Crocodile.

[Consciousness fusion complete!]

[Contestant: Lin Ye]

[Species: Protosuchus (T4)]

Current status: Severely injured (near death), starving, and extremely dehydrated.

[Domestic Territory: Fragment of the Triassic South China Marsh Group]

Survival rating: 1/100 (Very poor)

The cold system panel slowly unfolded in Lin Ye's mind, and the initial score was shockingly low, ranking last among all the current rankings.

This number accurately summarizes his current situation.

Looking around, danger lurks everywhere.

From the reeds to the left, a soft rustling sound came, and a long-nosed salamander, half a meter long, slowly poked its head out.

Its head is flat, its snout is long and thin like a needle, and its mouth is full of fine and sharp fangs, which are staring intently at the woods in the center of the puddle.

The labyrinthine salamander was one of the top predators in the Triassic waters.

Even the T1-level giant mammoth salamander is extremely terrifying. This long-snouted mammoth salamander in front of us, although it is only a sub-adult, is far larger than the forest crocodile.

In its eyes, the crocodile in front of it, which was only half its size, was just a moving appetizer.

Lin Ye's heart—that tiny heart pounding violently in the chest cavity of a prehistoric creature—instantly leaped into his throat.

He could clearly feel that instinctive fear of apex predators, which originated from the depths of his being.

My limbs began to tremble slightly.

But he did not run away.

He knew that the crocodile was small and slow-moving, and that running away from the labyrinthine salamander, which was several times its own length, would be tantamount to suicide.

[System Notification: High-threat target detected (Long-nosed Maverick Salamander - Sub-adult), distance 15 meters, hostility level 90%. Immediate evacuation or finding cover is recommended!]

The piercing alarm echoed in his mind, and the live broadcast from around the world switched to Lin Ye's first-person perspective.

The previously deathly silent atmosphere in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room was completely ignited the moment this scene was witnessed.

"It's over! It's really over!"

"The crocodile encountered the labyrinthine salamander! This is a freebie! It has no chance of survival!"

"The contestants are going to be eaten! The Dragon Kingdom is doomed!"

Inside the commentary booth, Chen Guoan covered his face and growled in anguish, "It's over, it's too late! The Triassic swamp overlord could swallow him whole!"

Zhang Lei, his eyes closed and his voice hoarse, said, "The Primordial Crocodile is no match for its speed; it doesn't even have anywhere to hide..."

The overseas live streams were a complete frenzy.

The American commentator burst into laughter at the camera: "See that? This is what happens to the Chinese players! T4 Crocodile wasn't even good enough to fill the gaps in Coach Carter's dinosaurs, now even a newt wants to eat it!"

In the Japanese livestream room, Satono's voice was laced with contempt: "Linno, give up. You won't even last a minute. Accept your fate, Dragon Kingdom!"

The global live chat was filled with messages like "China is finished" and "The contestants are doomed."

All eyes were fixed on the trembling crocodile in the center of the puddle, convinced that it was about to become a delicious meal.

The forest in the pure white void was not completely swallowed by fear.

He forced himself to calm down.

Calm down, calm down again.

The primal instincts of the crocodile awakened in his consciousness.

He could sense that this body possessed an extremely strong ability to hold its breath, flexible joints, and hard keratinous scales.

Although weak, it is not without the power to fight back.

Lin Ye's gaze quickly swept around, and not far to the right of the puddle, he found a narrow crevice in the rock that was entangled by rotting vines.

The distance wasn't far, but at his speed, it would take him some time to run there.

The labyrinthine salamander has already launched its attack!

The long-nosed salamander suddenly exerted its strength, its limbs paddling rapidly in the swamp, stirring up a cloud of murky mud, and instantly closing in to within ten meters.

It opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and let out a sharp hiss as it pounced on Lin Ye!

"It's over!"

Everyone silently recited it in their hearts.

The chat in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream froze for a second, then erupted into a deluge of despair and gasps.

At this critical moment, Lin Ye made a move.

He did not choose to run away in a straight line.

With a sudden twist of its body to the left, taking advantage of the crocodile's flexibility, it slid along the muddy bottom of the swamp and burrowed into the reeds beside it.

This sideways movement was extremely precise.

The giant salamander lunged past him just centimeters away, creating a huge wave that nearly overturned him, but its deadly bite missed.

"good!"

In the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room, some viewers couldn't help but let out a low shout.

But this is only a temporary respite.
