Chapter 20: The Second Evolution
It had been three days since the mercenary team had been killed that day, but to Jiang Cen's surprise, he had not noticed any new 'guests' on the island in the past three days.
However, Jiang Cen can be sure that those people will definitely not give up.
Being able to kill so many researchers because of that heart, it is clear that this heart is of great significance to them.
How could the death of a mercenary squad dissuade their thoughts, let alone let them take the risk.
As long as enough money is given, some are cannon fodder to do things for them.
"But crocodiles are rare on this island."
On a stout tree next to the swamp that had been interrupted by a barrage, Jiang Cen was half-lying on it basking in the sun, the dark red scale armor on his body rising and falling slightly with his breathing.
About 30 crocodiles were basking in the sun or swimming.
These thirty or so crocodiles are all the crocodiles on this island.
More than thirty sounds like a lot, but compared to this not too small island, these thirty are nothing.
"It would be nice if I could get them to evolve like me, but unfortunately I don't have that right now." Looking at the carefree crocodile group around him, Jiang Cen thought to himself.
Although there is a little regret, in fact, whether you can evolve or not is the most important thing.
After three days of flesh and blood absorption, Jiang Cen also felt that he would soon usher in a second evolution.
And Jiang Cen has already made up his mind, no matter how strong he will become this time of evolution, after the evolution is completed, Jiang Cen has decided to leave this island and find a new habitat from the ocean.
It's not that the food on this island can't supply Jiang Cen, but that the mysterious biological company is like a sword of Damocles hanging over its head, and it is impossible to predict when it will fall.
Regarding his own strength, Jiang Cen has no conceit and thinks that he is an invincible existence in the jungle.
If it is an animal in nature, Jiang Cen believes that he is definitely at the top of the food chain.
But it's still not enough to see when facing technological weapons.
It seems that Jiang Cen is now a giant crocodile with a size of more than eight meters, but in fact, it is not that there are no animals larger than him in nature.
For example, the maximum length of the blue whale in the deep sea can reach more than 60 meters, which is equivalent to the length of a cruiser.
When encountering a creature of this level, Jiang Cen let alone hunting, even if the other party touches him, it is estimated that he can crush himself into a meat patty.
"This feeling is about to start evolving!"
Jiang Cen, who was basking in the sun, suddenly felt the abnormalities in his body, and his blood-red eyes showed joy.
The blood in the body began to boil, the heart began to beat vigorously, the perception increased significantly, and everything around it was perceived clearly.
This anomaly represents the imminent second evolution of oneself.
Not daring to be sloppy, Jiang Cen immediately got up from the broken tree and walked towards a large cave dug out next to the swamp.
This is a place of residence dug by Jiang Cen himself, whether the crocodile is a good hole digging Jiang Cen doesn't know, anyway, it is very simple for him to dig a hole by himself.
Powerful strength, coupled with sharp claws and limbs, Jiang Cen could easily dig a huge cave.
Hearing Jiang Cen getting up, the crocodiles basking in the sun and playing next to him looked over, and with Jiang Cen advancing, the crocodiles in front of Jiang Cen got up and went around to both sides and made a way.
This is how the strongest and the leader of the crocodile group are treated, whether it is the crocodile or the rest of the population, the strong always have privileges.
Huge hole, but it is very dark, after all, it is a hole in the ground and in the swamp deep in the forest, there are only a few places of light, but fortunately, Jiang Cen's own eyes are like night vision devices, even if he can't see his five fingers, he can see clearly.
The ground was full of leftover bones, plus the unique smell of wild beasts, but Jiang Cen didn't care too much, after all, this was just a temporary residence.
Glancing at the entrance of the cave, Jiang Cen thought about the thick tail behind him and shook it hard.
There was a muffled sound, and the earth and stones on the cave at the entrance fell one after another, directly blocking the entrance of the cave.
Then Jiang Cen lay on the ground silently, waiting for himself to start evolving.
The temperature of the blood was getting higher and higher, and even made Jiang Cen feel hot.
The only sound in my ears was the sound of puff and puff and heart beating.
I felt like I was full of strength, but I couldn't move.
Jiang Cen didn't panic at all, just closed his eyes and endured the discomfort caused by evolution.
I don't know how long it took, the strangeness on his body slowly disappeared, and at the same time, a wave of tiredness hit, making Jiang Cen involuntarily close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
The next day, early in the morning.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines inside the forest.
Bang Bang Bang Bang ......
The sound of rotting leaves falling on the ground kept ringing in the forest.
From all directions of the forest, different beasts are advancing towards each other towards the depths of the forest.
Wolves, tigers, leopards, wild boars, pythons......
Many of the forest's apex predators are heading deeper into the forest, and a fight would have been inevitable under normal circumstances.
But now, even if the creatures met on the way, they only glanced at each other, and then continued to move towards the depths of the forest, with no intention of fighting at all.
Roar, roar, roar!
Hiss......
The crazy sound of wild beasts echoed in the forest, and some herbivores such as fawns and rabbits hid far away, looking terrified.
There weren't many single races, but as they advanced deeper into the forest, they had fewer and fewer routes to choose from, and eventually all of them came together as one large army.
The eyes of all the animals revealed incomparable eagerness and madness, and their ultimate destination was the swamp where Jiang Cen was.
In the swamp, all the crocodiles seemed to have sensed something, and they were already waiting at the door of the cave where Jiang Cen was, and at the same time, the two little crocodiles kept slapping the soil and rocks falling from the cave with their claws, and let out a low roar.
And at this time, Jiang Cen in the cave also slowly opened his eyes.
"I'm big again, but I'm not a crocodile, how can I do it like a snake, although I'm wearing scales." Jiang Cen, who woke up, the first thing he paid attention to was his body shape.
Although he hadn't seen it yet, Jiang Cen also clearly felt that his size had become even bigger.
"Wait, these breaths?"
Just as Jiang Cen was about to leave the cave and go out to see how he had become after the second evolution, Jiang Cen's perception saw that countless creatures not far away were rushing towards the swamp in groups.
