Your original grandpa Crocodile is still beautifully invisible!

The observers from other civilizations are living such vibrant lives that it's hard for viewers in China not to take a second look.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom doesn't have... hehe...

So after watching enough of the excitement surrounding other observed species, the Chinese audience finally managed to focus their attention on their own observed species, the Protosuchus.

Just one glance was enough to make the hearts of the Chinese audience clench.

Because the flood was so powerful, most of the original crocodiles' habitat was also invaded, and the original crocodiles were swept into the floodwaters.

The crocodiles that were originally swimming in the river were swept away by the flood, some to the plains, some to the edge of the hills, and some to the foot of the volcano.

Fortunately, they can swim, so unlike the other species observed, they did not die peacefully from the flood (I'm sure of it).

Their four legs paddle in the water, and their tails sway from side to side to maintain their balance.

Although the current was very strong, they were still able to control their direction and avoid being swept away.

Even at the very first moment of the flood, when they discovered free animal carcasses in the water to eat, these crocodiles ate with great relish.

Wow, there's even a free buffet!

The corpses of the Water Dragon, the Dogjaw Beast, and the Southern Cross Dragon—the animals that had drowned in the flood were floating in the water, some of them still cooked, making them incredibly delicious to bite!

The crocodile swam over, took a bite, tore off a piece of flesh, tilted its head back and swallowed it, then went to find the next corpse.

Its mouth was stuffed full, its tail was wagging wildly, and it was eating with such relish!

But the problem is that after overcoming one obstacle, there's another.

The flood was just the basic appetizer; the volcanic eruption that followed was the real hellish ordeal.

After the volcanic lava entered the flood, many crocodiles were scalded and screamed in pain.

The lava flowed into the water, heating it to a boil. The crocodile was soaked in the hot water, its skin turning red and developing blisters.

Some of the original crocodiles had their tails burned, and they twitched in pain as they swung them around.

Some of the crocodiles had their feet burned, causing them to swim with a limp.

Some of the original crocodiles had a piece of skin burned off their backs, revealing tender pink flesh.

The Chinese audience felt incredibly sorry for the characters.

Some people have already started cursing the planners, some are so anxious they're slapping their thighs, some are cheering for the original author in the live chat, and some are posting online asking for the original author's safety.

Many of the crocodiles began to swim towards the deeper parts of the floodwaters.

It's not that hot deep in the floodwaters yet; the temperature is barely tolerable.

They swam desperately into the depths, their four legs paddling rapidly, their tails whipping like propellers.

While their companions in the shallow water were still screaming in pain from the heat, their companions in the deep water had already found a cool spot.

As for how to breathe, your original crocodile uncle is naturally resilient to pressure. Anyway, those who couldn't withstand it all died, and those who could are the original crocodile heroes!

Crocodiles can dive underwater for long periods without taking a breath, and although the water pressure in deep water is high, it is not a big problem for them.

As long as you don't die, you can live!

Some crocodiles, however, decided to move to land since they couldn't survive in the water!

Anyway, they are amphibians and can survive on land.

If the water is too hot, they go ashore; if the shore is too scalding, they go back into the water. This is a basic operation for amphibians.

As a result, many of the original crocodiles decided to once again set foot on the land that was once their nightmare.

When the original crocodiles stepped onto land again, many of them were filled with countless emotions.

The last time they set foot on land was when they were being chased by canine jaw beasts, crocodiles, and other dog-like creatures. At that time, they were in a sorry state and didn't even dare to look back. They ran as fast as they could on all fours, afraid of being caught by those dog-like creatures.

This time, however, they came up on their own initiative—though they were still burned.

But before they could announce their return in a domineering manner, seeing the scalding lava coming from all directions, they hurriedly ran towards the colder areas.

Lava flowed down from the crater, like red snakes, meandering and spreading in all directions.

As soon as the crocodile came ashore, it saw a red line surging toward it in the distance. Without saying a word, it turned and ran.

Its four long legs moved swiftly, its tail swishing back and forth behind it, making it look like a group of cats whose tails had been stepped on.

Some of the crocodiles were running too fast, slipped, and fell flat on their backs. They just rolled over, got up, and kept running.

Some of the original crocodiles ran in the wrong direction and ended up in front of the lava, so they quickly turned around and ran back.

As for the third challenge, ocean oxygen deficiency, what does that have to do with your Uncle Crocodile?

Your Uncle Crocodile is a freshwater crocodile, so he doesn't have much to do with the ocean for now.

Ocean hypoxia is a matter for saline waters, and crocodiles don't get involved.

The audience in the Dragon Kingdom felt a pang of heartache watching the original crocodile run wildly across the scorching ground with its four long legs.

Some of the crocodiles had their feet burned, causing them to limp when they ran, wincing in pain with every step.

Some of the original crocodiles had their tails splashed by lava, burning off a section, leaving the remaining half of the tail swinging back and forth behind them.

Some of the original crocodiles had a layer of volcanic ash on their backs, making them look dusty and like they had just crawled out of a stove.

But they're still running.

Their long legs gave them an advantage on land, making one step equivalent to two steps for other animals, and they ran like the wind.

Then the Chinese audience witnessed an unbelievable scene.

These crocodiles seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly stopped in a damp place.

It was a swampy area, located at the boundary between hills and floodwaters.

The water in the swamp was shallow, just reaching the ankles of the crocodile.

A thin layer of volcanic ash floated on the surface of the water, but the water itself was still cool, neither heated by magma nor polluted by floods.

More importantly, the mud in the swamp is very thick.

The crocodiles began to burrow into the mud, burying their entire bodies in it, leaving only their noses and eyes exposed.

The mud was cool, and it enveloped their bodies, absorbing their heat.

The mud was wet, which insulated the magma from its heat radiation.

The mud was dense and blocked the toxic gases from the volcanic ash.

The mud in the swamp wasn't burned by the lava; it was cool and not hot.

The air in the swamp was not completely covered by volcanic ash, so it was still breathable.

The crocodiles were soaking in the mud, so comfortable that their eyes were squinting.

Outside, it was a catastrophe: lava was flowing, floods were surging, and volcanic ash was floating.

They lay motionless in the mud, like pieces of wood buried in the soil.

Seeing this, the audience in China finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at the crocodiles soaking in the mud, and then at the other species still struggling in the live streams, and couldn't help but laugh.

Those dog-jawed beasts scattered by the flood, those crocodiles struggling in the floodwaters, those pterosaurs howling as they were scalded by the lava, those Southern Cross Dragons scalded to death, those ichthyosaurs that died from lack of oxygen in the ocean, those water dragons trampled to death...

Almost all the observed species were struggling in this apocalyptic environment, except for the Protocrocodile, which was soaking in the mud.

Grandpa Crocodile is still beautifully hidden!
