Chapter 5: Encounter with a strong enemy of the Water Serpent
"Predator system, call predator system, do you hear me?"
After devouring a dozen or so tadpoles, Lake felt that his previous hunger was completely gone, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort after a full meal.
"Dear Reincarnate, you seem to be in good spirits! What is the command for calling me now? ”
"I want to see the experience bar you mentioned earlier, I just had a full meal before, I want to see if there is a change?"
"Okay, please wait, I'll bring up the picture for you right away!"
This predator system residing in Lake's body seems to be a good servant on call, but the voice is too monotonous to have a hint of human touch.
"Hey, how did you get 32% of your experience? I remember that after completing the two tasks you gave me earlier, that value should be 20%, right? ”
This is a very unexpected discovery, Lake never dreamed that the food eaten in his belly by hunting could be converted into upgraded experience points, what kind of powerful setting is this?
"Dear Reincarnated One, as long as you continue to hunt and successfully integrate those prey into your body, then the proficiency of evolution will also increase, and when this number reaches 100%, you will get unexpected gains!"
This predator system seems to have helped Lake open up a whole new path, one that constantly strengthens itself.
As a former human, Lake has gradually regained his senses and accepted the fact that he has become a small crocodile. Everything in the human world seems to have faded away for him, and what he must now face is this new life full of dangers in front of him, becoming stronger, constantly getting stronger, and gradually becoming the only motivation for him to live.
"So, brother, I'll go hunting, and when the experience points reach 100 percent, I'll see what kind of surprises this system will give me?"
Through his previous experience, Lake has basically figured out the trick of hunting tadpoles. Even if there are not 100,000 tadpoles in this water, there are still 7 to 80,000, so Lake doesn't have to worry about whether there is enough food at all.
However, the rest of the hunt was not as smooth sailing as before, and an uninvited guest quietly took over his hunting grounds, and regarded Lake as his prey.
It was a water snake about 50 centimeters long, more than twice the size of the current Ryker.
Snakes are very voracious animals, they will wrap their bodies around each other, strangle their prey alive, and then swallow their whole head into their stomachs. When Lake was a human, he watched the Discovery Channel on TV many times in a similar case, and the super python could kill even a saltwater crocodile.
What to do? Give up the hunting ground to others?
This was the first thought in Ryker's mind, and although he was a beast in appearance, he was still a human at heart. Lake still doesn't have the courage to face the unknown danger, but now that he has been targeted, he can't run away if he wants to.
The water snake hid in the dense water and grass not to catch those small tadpoles, its only goal was to turn Lake, a small crocodile about 20 cm long, into his own meal, as long as he ate this meal, the water snake could not eat for at least two weeks.
"Your sister, you're still staring at it! We have no enemies, why would you do this? ”
The law of the jungle has always been the law of nature, this is the cruelest reality, and there is no reason to talk about it. Besides, the water snake and the crocodile are two species, and the other party naturally can't understand what Lake is saying, but just keeps approaching the prey in front of him according to instinct.
As the so-called 36 plan goes, when encountering this kind of enemy that can't be defeated, Lake must be the first to slip away. But the problem is that the opponent's swimming speed is far higher than that of Ryker, and the streamlined body of this water snake is more suitable for moving in the water.
What to do, although Lake is already paddling desperately with his hands and feet, the distance between him and the water snake is still shrinking. Originally, his plan was to hide next to the big crocodile who had saved his life before, but it was clear that the water snake behind him would not let him succeed, and the creature's sinuous body was like a streamlined steel cable, and once it was locked, it was all over.
Since there is no escape, the only way left is to fight. Although the water snake in front of him looks quite powerful, it has an Achilles' heel, that is, its seven inches!
Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches is a lesson that human beings have summed up in their long-term struggle against wild animals in nature. Of course, this is just a general statement, and the total length of this water snake in front of you is less than seven inches!
The so-called seven inches actually refers to the abdomen of snakes, which is where their hearts are located, and if attacked, it will be fatal.
Of course, if the opponent protects his seven inches well, he can also retreat and attack his three inches, which is the spine under the snake's head. Due to the peculiar structure of the snake, their whole body is supported by the spine, and once a fatal blow is given at the source, it can directly cause it to be paralyzed and lose any ability to resist!
"Come on, you little loach!"
After secretly preparing for a desperate fight, Lake gave up and continued to escape, but turned around and took the initiative to meet the pursuers behind him.
"Boom!"
Apparently, the water snake was frightened by Lake's unusual behavior. It never dreamed that the prey in front of it not only did not run away, but instead took a fighting posture and rushed towards it, could the little crocodile's head be rusted?
Stunned is only a momentary thing, since the prey takes the initiative to send it to the door, how can there be a reason not to eat?
So, the water snake's eyes glowed with excitement and swam in the direction of Lake.
Just when the two were about to collide together, a mutation protruded! I saw that the little crocodile Rak, who was supposed to be swimming on the surface of the water, suddenly sank to the bottom of the water, and quickly catapulted towards the opponent's soft abdomen!
This was a completely unpredictable behavior of the water snake, and it could only quickly turn its body and chase after the other party, trying to wrap it around him closely.
"Break it for me!"
Lake in the water let out a roar that only he could understand, opening his little crocodile mouth, which didn't even have teeth out, and biting down the soft belly of the other.
"Puff puff!"
I don't know if it was Ryker's luck or if the water snake deserved to be unlucky, this blow was impartial and landed right on the heart of the water snake.
