Chapter 68
: Hey, you should really cut it down a bit!
Some crocodiles would even drag animal carcasses into the water and practice their death roll, a move they had only learned in the last two hundred million years.
They bit the corpse's neck, their four short legs bracing against the bottom of the water, and suddenly flipped over.
The body spun in the water, tumbling along with the corpse.
Water splashed everywhere, mud churned, and the body was torn into pieces in the water.
Among them, the three original crocodiles that had used the interference card practiced the most diligently.
Because their four legs have evolved to be shorter, they can more easily perform the death roll in the water.
Before, when it rolled over, its four long legs were sticking out and couldn't touch its body, making it look clumsy like a big rock.
Now, with its four short legs tucked to the sides, the body rolls smoothly and quickly, like a log.
Furthermore, they had been taught by a celestial being in their dreams, so much so that these three original crocodile species were already proficient in using this skill.
From now until 200 million years from now, they will only know this one trick.
Other animals have evolved new hunting techniques, and the original crocodile would roll to its death.
Other animals have evolved new defense mechanisms, and the original crocodile would roll to its death.
Other animals have evolved new social behaviors, such as the original crocodile's death roll.
One trick is all you need to succeed!
One move can overturn two hundred million years!
Viewers from various countries were stunned to see the crocodile population, which not only survived in the ocean of animal carcasses but thrived even more, without any problems.
They initially thought the crocodile would be poisoned, but it turned out it wasn't.
They thought the crocodile would die, but it didn't.
They thought the crocodile would become extinct, but they kept eating and getting fatter.
Only now do they realize how troublesome the original crocodile is. How come this little thing is so hard to kill?
You can't be drowned by floods, burned by lava, choked by volcanic ash, poisoned by corpses, or killed by viruses.
No matter what I do, I can't kill it!
If it weren't for the fact that the original crocodile itself was too weak in combat, they would all believe that this thing was the true chosen one!
Hey designer, why don't you nerf it a bit?
Of course, besides Chinese viewers, only a small number of foreign viewers are paying attention to the original crocodiles.
After all, the environment they were in was just too appetizing: corpses everywhere, vomit everywhere, and explosion debris everywhere.
Many viewers felt like vomiting when they saw this scene and didn't have time to pay attention to the original crocodile.
So your original grandpa crocodile has started to disappear into the shadows again.
Since there were no major events, time began to accelerate once again.
The images on the light screen changed rapidly. Day and night alternated as quickly as someone was frantically switching lights on and off, and the seasons changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. One page represented one year, and as the pages were turned, a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye!
During this thousand-year period, the Triassic period did not undergo any major changes.
If I had to point out any change, it would be that the number of plants has increased dramatically.
Because almost all volcanoes erupt once every so often, but compared to the previous catastrophe, the current volcanic eruptions are basically nothing.
It's not a supervolcano, it's not a natural disaster instance, it's just a regular volcano event.
Occasionally it emits smoke, occasionally it flows lava, and occasionally it sprinkles volcanic ash.
The fertile volcanic ash brought abundant nutrients to the land, and the decomposition of countless animal carcasses on this continent also injected nutrients into the earth, so the plants grew incredibly fast!
The seeds fell on volcanic ash and sprouted the next day.
The seedlings drank their fill of rainwater and sprouted leaves on the third day.
The leaves, having received ample sunlight, began to sprout new shoots on the fourth day.
As they grew, they grew into a forest in just a few months.
The once crimson desert is now covered with lush green vegetation.
The leaves of the cycads have turned from grayish to emerald green, and the trunks have become several times thicker, pointing straight to the sky like open green umbrellas.
The fan-shaped leaves of the ginkgo tree overlap, blocking out the sun. Sunlight can only leak through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.
The coniferous trees have thick bark, and their trunks are covered with pine cones and resin, emitting a faint pine scent.
The low-lying ferns are taller than a person, huddled together in clusters, densely packed, like low green walls.
Wild grass sprouted from cracks in the rocks, from piles of corpses, from any place with soil. They grew into vast grasslands, meadows, and lawns.
The once bare ground is now completely covered by vegetation, and it feels soft and spongy underfoot, like walking on a carpet.
It can be said that the area where the original crocodile is now located is almost the area with the most plants on the Pangu Continent, and it has even changed from the original plain desert landscape to a forest landscape.
The reeds by the water have grown several meters tall, rustling in the wind.
The aquatic plants in the water were not to be outdone, growing from the riverbed all the way to the surface, turning the entire river emerald green.
When there are many plants, they will attract all kinds of herbivores, and the appearance of herbivores will attract all kinds of carnivores.
Without natural disasters, without plagues, without exploding corpses, this forest has become the most habitable place on the entire Pangu Continent!
It has abundant water resources, lush vegetation, plentiful prey, and few natural enemies.
Both herbivores and carnivores want a piece of the pie here.
So even though this forest is quiet now, with only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves and the sound of the river flowing, I believe that it won't be long before this forest becomes very lively.
The Southern Cross Dragon will return, the Eoraptor will return, the Crocodile will return, the Cannibal will return, the Pegasus will return, and the Pallassaur will return...
They will flock from all directions, vying for this fertile land, this dense forest, and this abundant water source.
The original crocodiles were already soaking in the river.
They have stayed here for a thousand years, eating countless corpses, soaking in countless layers of mud, and rolling around in death countless times.
They are a size larger than they were a thousand years ago, with thicker tails, longer mouths, and denser scales.
The three proto-crocodiles that used the interference card underwent even greater changes. They were now half again as big as ordinary proto-crocodiles, their back scales had become thicker and harder, and their teeth had become coarser and blunter.
Although they have become stronger, they are still beautifully hidden.
They lay on the riverbed, only their noses and eyes showing, like rotten logs buried in the mud.
The river flowed past them, carrying the scents of various unfamiliar animals.
Those scents drifted from afar, from upstream, from the depths of the forest.
There were herbivores, carnivores, familiar animals, and unfamiliar ones.
The crocodile sniffed it, then closed its eyes again.
Now is not the time for revenge.
