Chapter 80: The Lake Down
This silence lasted for a long time, and the sound made by the predators when they hunted before alarmed countless creatures, and after a short period of panic, Gu Zheng found that this group of creatures was once again accustomed to it.
"A lot of people, not afraid of death?"
It shouldn't be like this, in such a dangerous field, even if the lake is the only source of water nearby, the presence of such a ferocious predator would bring a terrible sense of crisis to other creatures, they should not stay where they are, but this is exactly what happened.
Gu Zheng couldn't figure out why, but as time passed, a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the surface of the calm lake.
Its size is so large that even underwater, its huge body still can't cover it.
The sunlight refracted into the surface of the lake, and the creatures drinking on the shore had apparently discovered the underwater behemoth.
"Whoa!"
The sound of a splash of water resounded, and Gu Zheng's eyes were attracted, it was the predator before, and his complete body surfaced.
This giant crocodile is five meters long, and its whole body is covered with pitch-black scale armor, which produces vertical scales from head to tail, and even glows with a trace of black light under the sunlight, and a large mouth alone occupies nearly one-third of the body, which is larger than the average caiman.
But now, the predator who climbed ashore turned out to be actively hiding from the underwater creatures before him, and the huge shadow lurked quietly, ignoring the fleeing creatures.
Seeing that the creatures under the water did not continue to pursue, the predator who climbed ashore lurked in the mud on the shore while breathing a sigh of relief, waiting for other prey to approach.
But the movement it caused when it appeared apparently attracted the minds of many creatures, so no creatures were now approaching in its direction.
With the arrival of the predators, many creatures in the water began to flee one after another, the scope of this huge lake is very large, thousands of meters wide and wide, but it can hide so many creatures, obviously the depth of the water is not known.
Gu Zheng didn't dare to approach, even the predator who was forced to go ashore was not something he could deal with now, let alone the behemoth lurking under the surface of the water that forced other aquatic creatures ashore.
Soon, the black shadow under the water began to slowly retreat, disappearing in place, I don't know whether it was far away or dived into the depths, after it left.
The creatures that had been far away from the lake before came back again, and to Gu Zheng's surprise, they did not flee to the depths but continued to return here with fear, as if there was a more terrible danger in the depths of this primeval jungle.
The raging surface of the lake was calm again, but this time all the creatures were more vigilant, whether they were hunting for food or drinking, and they all paid a little attention to the surface of the lake.
This is a group of gray tapirs that have just arrived from other places, and in this hot weather, the gray tapirs will soak their bodies in water to relieve their irritable temper.
Gu Zheng approached a little bit ahead, the resources of the place where he came were scarce, and this was the only place to go to the depths, even if he didn't enter the depths, he needed a territory where he could hunt and forage.
The lake is home to countless creatures, and it is by far one of the best places to live.
Even if there is a terrifying beast lurking underwater, as long as it can't get ashore, there is nothing to fear.
The jaguar is a good swimmer, and it can even kill an adult caiman underwater, but now Gu Zheng has no intention of going into the water.
Gu Zheng chose a mangrove land with a wide view, which was originally occupied by a group of reddish-brown howler monkeys, but in the face of Gu Zheng, who could climb trees, their insignificant attack power could not break through his defenses at all.
After biting a few howler monkeys to death, the rest of the howler monkey group fled into the distance in terror.
This mangrove land is hundreds of meters above the lake, whether it is hunting other creatures or avoiding underwater dangers, Gu Zheng has plenty of time to react.
In the hot summer, even if the temperature in this area is not as high as the outside world, ordinary people will suffer from heat stroke when they stand here for a while.
The temperature evaporated the few moisture in the bodies of the three beasts, and Gu Zheng approached the lake a little bit, and he couldn't hide any wind and grass from his eyes.
The second dog was vigilant around, so that Gu Zheng's attention was all focused on the lake, the hot weather made its tongue stick out for a long time, and the little dots on the back learned the movements of the second dog, and the cat would stick out its tongue to dissipate heat when the temperature was hot and lacking water.
As Gu Zheng moved, there was a commotion among the creatures around him, obviously not lacking in recognition of the jaguar, even in this primeval jungle, the jaguar was the top predator.
In the past few days, there is sufficient flesh and blood supply, and Gu Zheng is already in the period of rapid physical development.
Although he is not yet an adult, he also has a bit of power, with a shoulder height of more than 80 centimeters, a body length of nearly 1.8 meters, and a weight of 130 kilograms.
The whole body is full of black hair is shiny, the back is covered with golden veins, the head is larger and rounder than an ordinary jaguar, and a leopard's face exudes a faint murderous intent, and the sharp canine teeth like jade protrude slightly from the jaw, and there is no doubt about the terrifying lethality.
His limbs were more slender and thick, and as he walked, every inch of flesh and blood on his body had obvious muscle lines bulging, full of amazing explosive power.
The size of the adult female jaguar is now completely surpassed, and compared with the top adult male jaguar, it is only slightly lost, and it is no longer defenseless.
In front is a group composed of several gray tapirs, the first gray tapir has entered the water, and the back ones also dived directly into the lake after discovering Gu Zheng, for fear of being used as food by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't take care of them, let alone take the initiative to go into the water to hunt, not to mention that there were a lot of creatures that could be hunted on the shore, so there was no need to take this risk.
The huge shadow under the surface of the water alone left an indelible impression on him, and the original python was only so compared to it.
The underwater beast was unrivaled in his eyes, but now Gu Zheng was a terrifying predator in the eyes of other small and medium-sized creatures.
Seeing Gu Zheng slowly appear, the other creatures began to retreat, they were all panicked about this terrifying predator that suddenly appeared, no matter how terrifying the underwater beast was, it couldn't go ashore, but Gu Zheng was more threatening to them in comparison.
The second dog flaunted his might behind Gu Zheng, and the dog's face showed a fierce and vicious look, and from time to time he barked at the nearby creatures.
This area is extensive, Gu Zheng chose a location to come to the front of the lake, where the water is so clear that you can see through the depth of several meters at a glance.
The water level at the edge of the lake is shallow, and there are no large underwater creatures infested, breeding many tiny fish and shrimp, and the small ones jumped off Gu Zheng's back and dived into the water with their eyes lit up, splashing a small splash.
Its shoulder height is only about 20 centimeters, and its weight is only three or four kilograms, but its ferocity is obviously not proportional to its size, and the little point that has eaten a few small fish crawls up from the edge of the lake, its hair is wet by the lake water, and its little face is fierce and cute.
