Chapter 258 The Prototype of the Tribe
Several women chattered and made a fuss, but the night owl and Mo Yun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, which was quite a bit of a difficult brother at this time.
The road in the mountains and forests is very difficult to walk, but the few people are like tourists. Because of the Thorn Flower Emperor opening the way, those plants will avoid them on their own, and the few students who watched it were envious.
The Lost Forest was so large that by the time they reached the river, the sun had risen high above everyone.
Although the autumn morning is a little chilly, the midday sun is still scorching. Lu Qi and the girls had already lost the idea of fighting, and they all lowered their heads, like frosted eggplants and followed the back of the team.
The shrubs in front of everyone were getting more and more sparse, and the weeds around them still had traces of trampling.
At this moment, a faint wail could be heard in the distance. The night owl hurried to the front of the group, squatted beside Shen He and asked in a low voice.
"What's going on?"
Shen He gently picked up the weeds in front of him and handed the night owl a look that you could look at.
The night stalker then discovers a shocking image of seven or eight crocodile-like monsters tearing at the flesh of a mammoth.
These crocodiles are monsters because they have well-developed limbs and can stand and walk like humans. Many of them have improvised weapons in their hands, ranging from large logs to spears wrapped around stone chips.
And that second-order earth vein giant elephant had no power to resist in front of these crocodile people. Although the Earth Vein Giant Elephant is only a second-order mutant beast, it is a nightmare in the hearts of all supernatural people, not only is it extremely powerful, but it can also control the rock layers below the ground, and launch deadly attacks anytime, anywhere. Moreover, the defense of the Earth Vein Giant Elephant is also extremely strong, even a special bullet with double armor-piercing ability cannot penetrate the hard bristles on its body.
If the back mountain boar is an unstoppable torrent, then the earth vein giant elephant is the king that can shake the mountains and forests, and its strength has far exceeded the level of ordinary second-order mutant beasts. If the Adept encounters the Earth Vein Giant, it is almost certain death.
However, this adult giant elephant, in front of several crocodile people, looks like a lamb to the slaughter.
The crocodile people ate in a savage way, ignoring the earth-veined giant elephant that was still howling, and opened its mouth to bite the wound. Sharp teeth dug deep into the flesh of the giant elephant, and the long crocodile's mouth tore off large pieces of flesh with a sharp pull. The crocodile's mouth opened and closed twice, and the flesh was swallowed into its stomach, and then the mouth was stuffed into the wound to continue their feast.
The Earth Vein Giant Elephant did not die of excessive blood loss, even if it was an ordinary second-order mutant beast, its vitality was not comparable to that of ordinary animals. The poor earth-veined giant elephant was alive and dead, its trunk hanging limply on the ground, and a crocodile man opened his mouth and tore the trunk in half.
Perhaps it was the tenderness of the elephant's trunk, and the crocodile man licked his mouth, looking very hideous.
Seeing this, the night owl was a little stunned and asked, "Are these really mutant beasts?" ”
To the Nightstalk's surprise, however, the crocodile people soon found a large wooden stick. He put the uneaten giant elephant on a stick and swam across the river.
When the crocodile man disappeared, the night owl and his party walked to a broken log, and looked at the wooden stake half a meter thick, which was actually broken by the crocodile man. With this brute force alone, not many people can contend with it.
You must know that the trees of the Lost Forest are not those bean sprouts from the outside world, and they are not even worse than steel. However, it is now used by the crocodile people as a tool to carry food.
What surprised the night owls the most was that these mutant beasts had learned to use simple tools, and when they hunted together, they had already begun to take on a tribal model.
Just as the night owl thought, when they sneaked across the riverbank, they were shocked to find a simple building in the middle of a dense forest.
Although crocodiles will often swim in the water, at the end of the day, crocodiles are still a land animal. Whether it's when they're dormant, or when they're laying eggs to give birth to offspring, they do so ashore.
It's just that the crocodiles here have taken a step towards primitive civilization after mutation.
Although crocodiles are facing extinction in many places, they are the most "fickle" animals, and crocodiles have appeared since the Jurassic era. Later, when a meteorite hit the Earth, the crocodile gradually shrank to its current size in order to adapt to the hostile environment.
Now that all animals are evolving, simple rivers can no longer satisfy their desire to hunt, so they have evolved legs, and solitary hunters have begun to transform into tribal groups.
Although the strength of these crocodiles is not as good as the prehistoric giant crocodile that the night owl encountered three years ago, the combat power that they can burst out when they are condensed together is that even the lord of the deep mountain has to avoid three points.
After some exploration, Night Stalkers and the others were surprised to find that these crocodile people had a clear division of labor, and there were also some crocodile people similar to wizards.
They were clad in the fur of mutant beasts, and they had the skulls of large beasts on their foreheads, and to the horror of the night owls, many of them turned out to be very rare soul bones. Those wizard crocodiles, holding a thick wooden rod with several soul crystals embedded in the top, were almost a simple version of the magic scepter.
These wizard crocodile people have a higher status in the tribe, not only because they have third-order strength, but also because their intelligence is much higher than that of ordinary crocodile people.
The earth-veined giant elephant that was brought back, under the command of the wizard crocodile man, was quickly broken down into pieces of flesh, and then hung on a wooden frame to dry.
"These crocodiles actually know how to store food!?" Shen He said in disbelief.
"Haven't you encountered a mutant beast like this before?" asked the Night Stalker, puzzled.
Shen He shook his head: "Unheard of, at that time, the Thorn Flower Emperor was already a very high-level intelligent creature. A mutant beast like this is simply unimaginable. ”
In fact, what they didn't know was that in the previous life, before the crocodile people evolved, this place was swept away by the demons, and they had no chance to evolve and reproduce at all. However, as the decipherment speed of the Sealed Heaven Pillar slowed down, almost all of the mutant beasts were fully evolved. Many mutant beasts that had not appeared before were now emerging in an endless stream, and even Shen He looked like a ghost.
Although the night owls thought they were lurking well, one of the crocodile people suddenly raised his head and sniffed in the air, and then roared loudly.
"What is it doing?" asked Ran, puzzled.
The night owl's face immediately changed: "Oops!
