Chapter 217: The Afterimage of the Apex Predator
When Chenxing's sensitive nose smelled the rough smell of the fur of the beast, it didn't take long for the lush branches on the other side of the river to emit a strange and unpredictable friction sound. So, everyone immediately became vigilant, and immediately gathered a pair of restless eyes in the faintly crowded bushes.
Next, when I was concentrating, a fierce beast with teeth and claws burst out. At this time, Chenxing fixed his eyes and saw that this fierce beast, as he had expected before, was indeed a feline mammal, its name was "Handbag Lion", and it was also a mammalian beast left over from the "prehistoric era" tens of thousands of years ago, and it was once the top predator of the "Nullarbor Plain" in Australia.
At that time, although it was the leader of some barren areas, it was later eliminated by the cruel natural competition, and was finally ruthlessly buried in the long river of history for more than 30,000 years. It was not until later generations, about eight or nine hundred years ago, that some scientists who loved animals and advocated "species diversity" were resurrected into the world.
If you look closely, you will see that it has quite well-developed forelimbs, and the muscles of the elbow are strong and tough, which is conducive to accumulating strength and exploding instantly.
At the same time, its sharp claws, its physiological structure, is also particularly unique, the length of the claw fingers, not only far beyond the normal cats, but even like birds of prey, can bend, contract, and finally close to the palm muscles. Its grip is even much greater than that of the Siberian tiger, and it only takes a few seconds to accumulate time to gain an extremely large explosive power, and in an instant, it can easily scratch the vertebrae of an adult North American giant bad wolf.
At this moment, everyone stared at it without turning their eyes, looking a little frightened, and its eyes were full of rage and terrifying roars, and the sharp cracked teeth in the mouth and the strong jaw muscles highlighted its unparalleled bite force!
"He~he, there is no sad species that survived tenaciously and was eventually wiped out, and now, with the help of human magic technology, the big cat that has been lucky to recover, why do you still want to attack your benefactor, a living human?"
Although separated by a river, the "handbag lion" still stared at the humans opposite, seeing this situation, and indeed regarded them as their own easy prey. So, after a short demonstration of its terrifying roar, it tried to wade through the water and hunt for food.
But after it had crossed the river halfway, Yu Lingchen Xing suddenly released the magic power that had been condensed in his body in one go, accompanied by a fierce rebuke. Suddenly, the "handbag lion" was frightened, and for a long time, it stood stupidly on the riverbank, in a daze, and put on a fierce look.
Then, after Chenxing bravely took a step towards the riverbank, the big cat, which had no appearance, finally turned his head in a panic, hurriedly clipped his tail, and fled in disgrace, and in an instant, disappeared into the leafy rainforest.
"Sure enough~~~ there are some problems!Fiyana, you also saw it just now, although this guy was scared away by my breath, but, in fact, if you are more serious, its magic power is not weak, and it is not inferior to an ordinary A-level magician at all. But if you look closely, there seems to be some slight damage on its body, although it is not very serious, and it has been healing for a long time, but its fear reaction is too exaggerated, right?
The magic power that I burst out just now is actually not very high, but it is only close to the power of the S-class. Originally, in this case, even if it pounced, I couldn't guarantee that it would be able to defeat it smoothly in a short period of time.
Therefore, I can only think that in the past, this "executioner's bag lion" seemed to have experienced some terrible things that made it remember it vividly, so that in the future battles, whenever facing some enemies who were slightly stronger than himself, it would be like a frightened bird with a bow, and lose the will to fight early.
There is another possibility, not because it is afraid of me, but because it is afraid of being injured in battle, even if it is only a slight injury, I am afraid that the natural enemy it really fears will have an opportunity to take advantage of. Or, as long as it is a slightly more intense battle, before the winner is decided, it will simply attract more terrifying enemies, and in the process of hunting their prey, it seems that they have developed a habit of "sneaking" ~~~~~~
In addition, there is evidence for this point, and that is that in this low bush, from the smell I felt, it was found that:
On the other side of the river, there is not only this only "Executioner's Bag Lion"! Therefore, if they rely on crowd tactics and launch surprise attacks in turn, even if they are an S-rank magician, they must not be underestimated. ”
When he saw this "executioner bag lion" fleeing in a hurry, Yu Lingchenxing did not become complacent because of such an appearance. On the contrary, after thinking insightfully for a while, the expression on his face became more solemn and solemn than at first. After carefully observing the strange look on this guy's face, basically, he had already determined that the root cause of the beasts fleeing so quickly was actually not himself, but that they were afraid of someone else~~~ from the bottom of their hearts
A stronger one that is more deterrent.
"So, Chenxing~~~What do you mean~~~?
Listening to your previous introduction, this feline called "Executioner Hand Bag Lion" seems to have been in the prehistoric era 30,000 years ago, and once dominated Australia, and it can be regarded as a ruthless character that occupied an absolute advantage in ~~~ back then. And an opponent that can make them feel scared too?
Could it be that ~~~ their natural predator is the Gustav crocodile? Yes, in this Johor archipelago, there is only the [king] who is really at the top of the food chain-----
Only then can you deserve the honorary title of [Top Predator]!"
At present, although the "Executioner Bag Lion" has left, after listening carefully to his speculation, Fiana gasped, and although there was no excessive panic in her eyes, the body's immune system uncontrollably produced some "uncomfortable" stimulus reactions.
This made her mental outlook begin to show signs of exhaustion again. While thinking, a trance feeling of tinnitus and dizziness quickly hit the whole body. Instantly, her heels, with the swaying of her head, stumbled and swayed, almost unable to control her weak body.
"That's right, Chenxing!I seem to have forgotten my mobile phone~~~ In order to avoid the ringing of the mobile phone, it may disturb the beasts in the vicinity, and then startle the snake. So, I turned on the [Do Not Disturb Mode], but now after opening it and looking at it, I found a few missed calls, and text messages that I have time to check in the future, and the content of them, it may really be necessary to study them carefully~~~~~~"
······
In the depths of the rainy and misty islands, there are lush vegetation that covers the sky and the sun, and everywhere are unheard of "dripping leaf tips" in the shape of magnificent giant trees, whimsical primitive phenomena of "old stems and flowers", and some parasitic and epiphytic vegetation, and even some rare species that feed on flies and mosquitoes. In short, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, strange flowers and fruits, all gathered here, like a two-dimensional screen painting rendered with fantasy colors.
However, from time to time, there are also countless rare birds and beasts, which are actively active in the strange shapes and thousands of forms of vegetation, and they all make a series of frightening and strange screams, disturbing people's spirits and always being in a kind of tired vigilance, and at the same time, this also makes some adventurers who are brave to explore the heart jump, astonishment, and then spontaneously sprout.
There are also a series of strange creatures that cannot be scientifically explained, and strange phenomena make this Johor Islands a primitive, weird, terrifying, but intoxicating veil of weirdness.
"Click~click~click~click~"
Suddenly, several dry branches, after being squeezed by external forces, broke intermittently, and from time to time there were bursts of crisp sounds. Then, out of a swamp filled with mist, a lizard's paws, covered with reddish-brown scales on the surface of its skin, were sinking deep into the fertile mud of the wetland.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the flesh of a large mammal is being crushed under this huge claw. It's just that its flesh has been trampled to pieces by an extraordinarily strong pressure, and the internal organs in its body have naturally been stirred into a mess, like a viscous pulp, flowing horizontally and vertically.
Eventually, when the paw was slowly lifted, there was nothing but a puddle of disgusting blood, and the torso of the beast attached to the edge of the claw, which had not been completely crushed.
"Oh, so that's it?!
So ~~~ This is really exciting news! According to this~~~ [Darwin Biological Exploration Association Organization] investigation, and analysis~~~
This giant crocodile named Gustav did not expect that it was not the indigenous of the local "Pruss crocodile", but from the southern hemisphere continent. Variants of the "Amazon Morax" crocodile?!he~he~he~, these whimsical "bioengineering" scientists~~~
Why do you always like to engage in these weird biological experiments that have no practical use?! However, this is also quite interesting, anyway, the youth and lifespan of cold-blooded reptilian creatures like crocodiles have great potential for development. Therefore, if this notorious big guy can survive for another hundred years without incident, then how big will it grow?
I can't wait to try this special ~~~ special breed made by humans!"
So, the burning heart of adventure was excited again, and Fiyana and Yu Lingchenxing, with the theme of the most "challenging" hunting activities, were on ~~~
Finally, the exciting prelude has begun!
