Chapter 22: The Evolution of the Crocodile Colony
The smell of blood in the air was incomparably strong, and rotting leaves mixed with flesh and blood.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was ten minutes, it could be twenty minutes.
Countless beasts rushed towards Jiang Cen in a madness that was not afraid of death, even if it seemed that Jiang Cen was very strong, almost no beast could survive more than three seconds.
The death of the surrounding 'companions' did not give them the slightest idea of retreating, as if as long as there were enough of them, they would definitely be able to pile Jiang Cen to death.
But this kind of crowd tactic will not work at all for Jiang Cen.
As Jiang Cen hunts and kills the beasts that attack him, all the beasts that are swallowed by Jiang Cen will be converted into energy, in other words, as long as there is enough food, Jiang Cen can be regarded as a perpetual motion machine, even if these beasts are ten times more, a hundred times will not pose any threat to Jiang Cen.
Because fundamentally, he's already invincible.
As time passed, the remaining beasts finally realized that something was wrong.
Of the original hundreds of beasts, there were only about a hundred left at this moment.
The madness in the eyes of the beast had faded and been replaced by fear.
The rest of the beasts no longer took the initiative to attack, and the eyes of the remaining animals were full of fear as they looked at the mountains of minced meat on the ground.
On the contrary, the crocodiles that Jiang Cen deliberately protected behind him, Jiang Cen could sense from their emotions that they were crazy now, crazy for Jiang Cen's performance, this feeling was like a devout believer seeing the god he had always believed in, extremely fanatical.
The beasts that were still alive all looked at Jiang Cen in the slightest, and there was no longer the madness in their eyes as before, but deep fear.
Looking at Jiang Cen's huge body, wolves, tigers, and hyenas, which were originally upper predators in the forest, began to retreat one after another.
Looking at this purgatory-like scene, the crazy and fierce momentum of the remaining beasts that were still alive before was completely gone.
At first, they were dominated by desire and attacked Jiang Cen, but with the death of two-thirds and hundreds of beasts, the fear they brought was far more than the desire to be attracted.
Looking at Jiang Cen's huge body, the first reaction of all the beasts was to flee, escape from here, and leave far away.
Facing the remaining fleeing beasts, Jiang Cen did not chase after them all.
Because there is no need at all, Jiang Cen can't devour the flesh and blood hunted this time, although he has experienced the second evolution, he has a strong enhancement in all aspects, but it is impossible to store and eat the corpses of hundreds of beasts, and it is not a small animal like a rabbit, including a large animal such as a leopard and a wild boar.
'Roar, roar, roar, ......'
As Jiang Cen was thinking, the crocodiles behind him let out a roar, and Jiang Cen could feel their excitement and joy from his perception.
Looking at the group of crocodiles behind him, Jiang Cen flicked his huge tail and made a rumbling sound to signal them to calm down, and then pointed to the corpses on the ground, signaling that they could start eating.
However, for Jiang Cen's instructions, the crocodiles behind him did not immediately go to eat excitedly, but reluctantly glanced at the cave when Jiang Cen originally evolved.
From the crocodiles, Jiang Cen felt that longing, as if there was something in the cave behind them that attracted them.
"There's something in there that attracts these beasts?"
Sensing the emotional changes of the crocodiles, an idea popped up in Jiang Cen's heart.
Ignoring the flesh and blood stumps on the ground, Jiang Cen turned around and walked towards the cave, and when he came to the cave, Jiang Cen directly waved his thick tail and whipped on the scattered pile of earth and rocks at the cave door.
As if it had been blasted, the remaining mound of earth and rocks exploded, revealing a wide cavern.
From the entrance of the cave, the whole cave was very dark, Jiang Cen was the first to walk into the cave, and then motioned to the crocodiles to follow.
After a few days, although there was no way to communicate with the animals, Jiang Cen had no problem simply telling the crocodiles what he meant.
"It's ...... I've shed my scales. Going deep into the cave, Jiang Cen soon saw that the ground was full of dark red, scale-like things, which were the scale armor that had faded from Jiang Cen before.
"I'm the same as a snake, except that the snake is peeled, and I'm a scale." Looking at the scale armor on the ground, Jiang Cen was a little angry, but he didn't dig too deep.
It doesn't matter if it's like a snake or whatever, in short, it's evolved and stronger, and that's enough.
However, at this time, Jiang Cen suddenly found that the group of crocodiles behind him suddenly showed extreme eagerness.
When I turned my head to look, I saw more than 30 crocodiles behind me, all with their mouths open, looking at the scale armor fragments in front of them with great covetousness, and saliva almost flowed out of their teeth.
"These scales I've shed are what attracted those beasts?" Looking at the scale armor scattered and piled up on the ground, Jiang Cen guessed.
But it doesn't seem right, those beasts outside before, through the ability to perceive emotions, Jiang Cen can be very sure that their target is himself.
So the only ones who are interested in their own scales are crocodiles?
Thinking that some animals will eat their eggshells after birth to supplement their own nutrition, looking at the scales on the ground, Jiang Cen hesitated for a while and lowered his head to taste it himself, and found that it didn't seem to have any special effect except that it was unpalatable.
"Doesn't work for me? Or am I eating it the wrong way? Jiang Cen felt the longing of the crocodiles behind him, walked to the side and stretched out his paws, patted the ground and motioned for them to go.
After getting Jiang Cen's consent, the crocodiles let out a low roar, and their longing quickly turned into surprise, and then they swarmed up and began to devour Jiang Cen's faded scales and armor in a frenzy.
Is it really just eating?
Looking at the frantically eating crocodiles, Jiang Cen blinked his eyes.
With Jiang Cen's body shape of more than eight meters long before he evolved, the scale armor that had faded off was a lot, but he couldn't stand the fact that there were more than thirty crocodiles to divide it equally, and almost in the blink of an eye, the scale armor on the ground was eaten up.
Before Jiang Cen could take a closer look, the crocodiles suddenly let out a burst of low roars, and then ignored Jiang Cen and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hungry?" After the last crocodile rushed out, Jiang Cen also slowly walked out of the hole, and his scarlet eyes looked at the crocodile group outside that was devouring the corpses of the beasts on the ground.
"Could it be that after devouring my scale armor, they started genetic modification and evolved?" Looking at the crocodiles that were frantically devouring the corpses of beasts, a bold idea appeared in Jiang Cen's heart.
This state of hunger is familiar!
