Chapter 45
Where did all my many canine jaw beasts go?
Its body floated on the water, belly up, with its four legs stiffly stretched out. Its mouth was slightly open, revealing two rows of blood-stained teeth.
Looking back on its life, it felt it had all been worthwhile.
The story begins with that little water dragon beast.
Although it failed in its first attempt to hunt the little water dragon, and even came to this unfamiliar body of water, it eventually succeeded in hunting the little water dragon.
Then it was intercepted by the canine jaw beast, which led to an irreconcilable hatred, and now it has finally succeeded in taking revenge!
It killed one canine jaw beast after another until there were no more canine jaw beasts left in the area.
It spent its entire life carrying out a revenge, even though the object of the revenge may never have known who was seeking it.
And its corpse was indeed straight.
At this moment, the audience from China watching this primordial crocodile were not laughing or joking; instead, flowers appeared on the screen, as if bidding farewell to the primordial crocodile.
Subsequently, someone posted a long message recalling every detail of the original crocodile's journey from its first hunt to its final moments.
Someone made a compilation of the videos, accompanied by touching background music, which brought tears to people's eyes.
Rest in peace, former Crocodile Warrior.
Thank you for helping us get revenge.
Eat well over there, and eat more.
[The original number one crocodile warrior, you truly deserve this title.]
[Damn it, I feel like crying.]
Me too, even though I'm just a crocodile...
Humans are truly strange creatures. They hunt other animals to survive, and they also hunt other animals for their own selfish desires. At the same time, they are also deeply moved by the behavior of animals.
A primordial crocodile killed more than a dozen canine jaw beasts in revenge.
This isn't for survival, it's not for food, it's just to vent my anger.
It's hard to say whether it was foolish or brave, but seeing its body floating on the water, belly up, with its four legs stiffly outstretched, just makes you feel a tightness in your chest.
It was only at this point that Kim Jong-tae finally realized something was wrong.
He had just finished fighting the Betula of the John Kingdom for territory and had some free time to check on the species he was observing when he discovered that the Canignathus population in a certain area was completely wiped out.
He remembered that there had been a group of more than a dozen canine jawed beasts released in this area, so why are they gone now?
Where have all my canine jaw beasts gone?
Even if they ran to other places, he should be able to sense them, but now he can't sense them at all, it's as if they're dead...
After a brief moment of shock, Kim Jung-tae suddenly remembered that the canine jaw beasts in this area had been dying one by one recently.
At the time, he didn't think much of it because he was competing with other civilization observers for territory. After all, the canine-jawed beasts weren't a particularly strong species, so it was normal for some to die or be injured. But now it seems there's more to this story.
More importantly, he realized that this matter was somewhat related to the observation species, the Protosuchus, which was associated with the Dragon Kingdom.
It seems there was once a rather fat crocodile that killed a canine jaw beast...
Kim Jung-tae quickly clicked on the replay of this area, wanting to see what exactly had happened.
The images on the screen began to flow backward rapidly, with time rewinding day by day.
He turned the speed up to 32 times, and the scene flashed by as fast as a movie in fast-forward.
The scene of canine jawed beasts drinking water by the river repeats itself over and over again, but each time the number is a few less than the previous time.
Kim Jong-tae pressed pause, adjusted the speed back to normal, and watched it frame by frame.
Then he saw the image of the first canine jawed beast dying.
That was the old canine jawed beast with a limp left hind leg. It came to the river to drink alone, and a piece of "wood" was floating in the water.
The log slowly drifted over, and when it reached the old dog-jaw beast, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on the beast's throat.
The old dog-jawed beast struggled a few times and then stopped moving, being dragged into the water.
When he saw the original crocodile kill the first old canine jaw beast, Kim Jung-tae was unimpressed.
He knew when the old hound-jawed beast died; he had seen the record on the light screen.
At the time, he even thought it was a good thing.
Older canine jaw beasts are a burden to the species when they live, but their deaths provide more food for the younger canine jaw beasts.
Of course, he still thinks it's a good thing.
Then, when he saw the original crocodile ambush and successfully kill the second adult canine jaw beast, Kim Jung-tae's expression did not change much.
In his view, the crocodile was able to kill the second canine jaw beast only because of a successful sneak attack.
The canine jawed beast was drinking water and didn't notice anything floating in the water.
The crocodile leaped out of the water and bit its neck in one bite.
Such a sneak attack can only be described as accidental; it is impossible to replicate.
How could a piece of trash like Yuan Crocodile, who couldn't even beat a small Water Dragon Beast in a head-on fight, possibly kill Dogjaw Beast in succession?
A successful sneak attack once is luck, a successful attack twice is still luck, but luck can't always favor the same piece of trash.
However, the truth soon proved otherwise.
He then witnessed the canine jaw beast being successfully ambushed for the third time by the original crocodile.
In the picture, a young canine jawed beast is drinking water by the river.
The primal crocodile leaped out of the water directly in front of it and snapped its jaws shut on the throat. The young canine struggled desperately, its four legs carving deep furrows in the mud, but the primal crocodile wouldn't let go.
A dozen seconds later, it was dragged into the water, a string of bubbles rose to the surface, and then there was no more movement.
Then came the fourth time.
A lone canine jawed beast wandered along the riverbank, separated from its pack. Looking around, it couldn't find any companions. It was extremely thirsty and, after much hesitation, decided to go and drink some water.
It walked to the riverbank, and just as it lowered its head, the crocodile leaped out of the water and bit its hind leg.
The canine-jawed beast was terrified and turned to run ashore. The crocodile was dragged along and slid several meters on the muddy ground, its stomach ruptured, but it still wouldn't let go.
The canine jaw beast could only run a dozen steps before it ran out of energy. Taking advantage of this, the crocodile pulled it into the water, little by little. The canine jaw beast's claws scratched bloody marks on the ground, and it was eventually dragged into the water.
The fifth time, the sixth time, the seventh time... Kim Jung-tae fast-forwarded through the video, the scenes getting faster and faster, and the canine-jawed beasts dying faster and faster.
The same tactic was used more than a dozen times, and it succeeded every time.
The original crocodile progressed from being clumsy and awkward at the beginning to becoming skilled and experienced later on, and his progress was visible to the naked eye.
Kim Jung-tae's expression completely changed when the last canine jaw beast in the area was killed by the original crocodile.
From initial nonchalance to disbelief, and then to shock and anger.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly agape, and his fingers hovered above the light screen, forgetting to come down.
In the end, he became so angry that he burst into laughter, though his laughter was filled with rage.
"A tiny crocodile actually wiped out my entire canine jawed beast population... Who would have thought? Who would have thought, hahaha..."
