Chapter 7: Evolution and Upgrade
The scene in front of him was so familiar, maybe the greedy big catfish didn't notice anything wrong, but Lake saw it at a glance.
It wasn't a floating log at all, but the bearer of this waterhole—the big crocodile brothers.
Crocodiles are good at camouflage before attacking, especially when dealing with large prey. Although this camouflage is quite clumsy from the eyes of a Lake human, it is the ultimate for a brainless creature like this big catfish.
In fact, as Ryker expected, the big crocodile disguised as a floating wood was indeed attracted by the smell of blood emitted by the water snake before, but when it saw this greedy big catfish, it immediately changed its mind and regarded this guy as a target.
Although this big catfish is almost an invincible opponent in Lake's eyes, when it comes to the crocodile boss, who is several times larger, this catfish can only be regarded as a breakfast at best!
"Whoa!"
The attack was almost completed in the light of lightning, and I didn't see the big catfish struggle any behavior, so he was directly bitten in the mouth by the crocodile boss, and he died with a whimper.
"Well, that, thank you, big brother!"
Lake saw this situation in his eyes but didn't know what to say. Although the big crocodile came for prey, it did save Lake's life, and it should be polite to thank you!
"Hehe, you're a funny boy!"
It may be the first time he has met someone of his kind who thanked him, and the big crocodile actually politely patted the water with its tail in response.
When the two crocodiles, one big and one small, looked at each other's eyes, they both saw a trace of kindness in each other's eyes, maybe this is the sympathy between the same kind. For Lake, this big crocodile is his goal for future growth; And being able to show his wisdom and martial arts in front of future generations also makes this big crocodile feel quite complacent!
It is precisely because of this big crocodile that other predators in the river have chosen to retreat, and no one dares to come to the crocodile to grab food! And our little Ryker crocodile has been given a moment of peace and can find a quiet place to enjoy his snake soup.
"Dear Reincarnate, you have a new message, please check it out!"
Just as Lake dragged the other half of the water snake carcass that the big catfish had eaten to the shore, his mind suddenly remembered the voice of the predator system from before.
What's going on? Didn't you say that guy wouldn't easily reach out to me? Could it be that something special is going on?
Countless question marks popped up in Ryker's mind, and he closed his eyes and summoned the previous system despite his curiosity.
"Is there something you're looking for me so desperately to see I'm getting ready to eat?"
If you are interrupted during a meal, both humans and beasts will be very angry.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but there is something really important for you to decide, and it will affect your future growth path!"
"What the hell? My brother and I have now been reduced to a little crocodile, what future do we have, and how can we grow? Even if you save your life for a few years, won't you still be a crocodile! ”
Although he was quite helpless in his heart, Lake still opened the operation page very obediently, only to see that the evolution proficiency that was only 32% before has now become 100%, is it because he hunted a water snake twice as strong as himself before?
"It's amazing that a water snake can increase my experience by 68%, right?"
Lake spoke his question, hoping to find an answer from the predator.
"Hello, dear reincarnated! Nearly 15% of the experience points given to you by your water snake before, the rest of the experience came from you and your companions working together to hunt the giant catfish! ”
What the? Companion? Coordinated hunting?
The giant catfish before was obviously killed by the big crocodile alone, and it has nothing to do with Lake. Of course, if you have to count it, this giant catfish was indeed attracted by Lake's previous battles and died in Huangquan.
So, Lake described his previous experience to the system god in his head, wanting to hear his opinion.
"That's the case, respected reincarnator, whether it is your own hand or not, the death of that giant catfish is inextricably linked to you, and that companion of yours is just an ordinary crocodile and has no upgrade function, so the experience points of that catfish being killed are all counted on your head!"
Nani, how can there be such a good thing?
So what happens when the proficiency level of evolution grows to 100 percent? Could it be that it can make Lake turn into that kind of big adult crocodile in an instant?
Of course, these are just Lake's own wishful thinking, and they are not.
"Dear Reincarnated One, this time you will evolve a new skill called Steel Fang! With an interval of 35 seconds and a release time of 15 seconds, your teeth will become incredibly hard during the time you use this skill, and even high-strength titanium alloy metal can bite through! And as the proficiency of the skill mastery increases, including the cast time and the hardness of the teeth, there will be a significant increase, so I wish you a happy hunt! ”
What's going on? Brother, a little crocodile like me can still use skills?
"Steel Teeth?" The name of this skill is too popular, isn't it, if even titanium alloy metal can be bitten through, wouldn't it be invincible? Even if you fight with the big crocodile just now, you won't be inferior when you use this trick, right?
Of course, at this moment, Lake is just thinking about it, he doesn't have the guts to challenge the supremacy of this water. Besides, that big crocodile has already saved Ryker's life twice, how can he not have a conscience!
However, according to what the Predator system just said, not every crocodile can have such a skill, at least not the big crocodile.
Could this be the legendary protagonist aura? Only a reincarnated person like Lake is so lucky?
"No matter, let's try this skill first whether it's true or not, and then talk about whether it's good or not!"
So the corpse of the water snake in front of him became Lake's best experimental subject. Although this guy has been farted, the scales on his body are still extremely hard!
