Chapter 69

: A thick barrier has been erected between me and these fellow animals.

The first to discover that this original area had been transformed into a vast fertile plain were the civilized observers who had gathered herbivores.

These civilized observers who tied their observations to herbivorous species were also very unlucky.

Although these observed species will become very powerful in the future, some of them will even become the largest land animals ever to have existed—the Brachiosaurus, a monster weighing tens of tons!

Not the Secondhand Rose one!

However, at this stage, they are destined to be slaughtered by other carnivorous species.

Therefore, over the past thousand years, these observed species, under the command of civilized observers, have generally lived in one place for a while, then multiplied and thrived, and then, because their numbers were too large, they were targeted by other carnivorous observed species and slaughtered.

The civilization observers realized this was unacceptable; if the slaughter continued, their observed species would be wiped out. So they chose to migrate.

Then they migrate to another place, reproduce and thrive, then are targeted by another carnivorous observation species, then are slaughtered, and then migrate again...

This cycle has continued for over a thousand years.

In fact, this is the underlying pattern between herbivores and carnivores, not just over a thousand years.

Herbivores find a place with plenty of water and lush grass, reproduce and thrive, then because their numbers are too large, they attract the attention of carnivores, and begin to migrate, then reproduce again, then are targeted again, and migrate again...

This cycle has continued for hundreds of millions of years.

This can only be described as the underlying code of the food chain.

As humans have become more advanced, they have forgotten the way of life of their poorer counterparts and have become able to survive anywhere, creating a thick barrier between themselves and their animal brethren.

However, on the other hand, humans still have underlying code.

People from small cities move to first-tier cities to survive, only to find they can't make it there. They then move to second-tier cities, but that doesn't work either. Eventually, they go back to their small cities, struggle for two years, and still can't make it. So they go to first-tier cities again... and the cycle repeats itself.

Putting aside their human identity, we call these kinds of people cattle or horses.

Actually, they're all pretty much the same.

It is precisely because the wild resources in this area are so good, with beautiful water, lush grass, and no terrifying natural enemies, that many civilized observers immediately sent their herbivorous observation species to this area.

The kimono-clad woman from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom was the first to act. Her Water Dragon Beast could reproduce in large numbers, so whenever too many Water Dragon Beasts appeared in an area, she would make them move to another location.

Otherwise, the environment in this area will collapse!

The reason is simple: the water dragon beast eats too much and reproduces too much!

In fact, this civilization observer initially had the same "do-nothing" mentality as Wang Lin, thinking he would ignore everything and just enjoy watching TV dramas every day.

However, the water dragon beasts were simply too stupid. After devouring an entire area, they didn't migrate to other areas and just stayed there, starving to death...

She had no choice but to do it herself.

The woman in the kimono gave instructions to the light screen, causing the water dragon beast herd to migrate to this forest.

The water dragons, with their round bodies and short legs, slowly made their way into the forest, munching on grass along the way.

Other civilization observers who tethered herbivores also followed suit, sending their observed species to the area.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of herbivores flocked in from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea.

Once they arrived here, the herbivorous observation species felt as if this were paradise!

The water is sweet, the grass is tender, the leaves are fresh, and even the air smells sweet.

They ate and ate like crazy, enjoying their meal immensely!

The water dragon beast ate until its belly was round and swollen, and it could no longer walk, swaying back and forth.

Other herbivores weren't much better off, munching on grass with their heads down, eating leaves with their heads up, and even chewing while drinking water.

However, these animals did not realize that hidden within their essential water source were cold-blooded and cruel killers.

The river water was so clear that you could see the stones and aquatic plants at the bottom.

But in this clear water, a few pieces of wood lay quietly at the bottom.

Their color is almost identical to the silt at the bottom of the river, and they are indistinguishable without careful observation.

Their eyes were half-open, leaving only a slit, as they observed the movements on the shore.

Their mouths were slightly open, revealing two rows of fine, sharp teeth.

Seeing these plump, juicy prey, the crocodiles, who had grown tired of eating fish and small animals, began to stir.

They've eaten fish and small mammals here their whole lives, and they're tired of it all.

Finally, some fresh meat has arrived—lively, juicy, and tender; one bite and your mouth will be full of blood.

I can use these to test them out; I've been practicing the death roll for who knows how long.

A young herbivore named a jumping beast, about one meter long, with slender limbs, is adept at jumping.

It is about the same size and weight as the original crocodile, but it runs much faster and has a much stronger jumping ability.

It's not a silly creature like the water dragon; it's alert, responsive, and has the instinct to run away.

It came to the river to drink water, and first peeked out to look around.

There are no predators, no natural enemies, and no danger.

So it lowered its head and carefully took a sip of water.

Then he suddenly looked up and observed.

Only after confirming there is no danger should you lower your head and take another sip.

Then look up and observe again.

But it didn't notice that a "piece of wood" was slowly drifting towards it in the water.

The "wood" drifted very slowly, so slowly that it was almost impossible to tell it was moving.

Its color is almost identical to the silt at the bottom of the water, and it is impossible to tell the difference without careful observation.

The leaping beast took another sip of water, raised its head, and prepared to leave.

Just then, the "wooden piece" suddenly moved.

The crocodile leaped out of the water, opened its mouth, and precisely bit the hind leg of the leaping beast.

The leaping beast let out a scream and struggled desperately, its four legs kicking wildly on the ground. But the crocodile wouldn't let go; it bit the leaping beast's hind leg and suddenly flipped over.

Its body spun in the water, tumbling along with the jumping beast.

One lap, two laps, three laps.

The leaping beast's legs were twisted off, its body was thrown into the water, and its neck was bitten again by the crocodile.

The whole process took less than five seconds, and the jumping beast went silent.

The crocodile, carrying its prey, slowly swam back to the middle of the river to enjoy its feast.

Another Protocrocodile set its sights on a small Shield Dragon, a small herbivorous dinosaur about one meter long with rows of small bone spikes on its body to defend against predators.

However, this level of defense is practically useless against the original crocodile.

The original crocodile launched a sneak attack from underwater, biting the little shield dragon's neck and dragging it directly into the water.

The little shield dragon didn't even have time to cry out before it drowned.

The crocodile opened its mouth, nudged the carcass with its claws, and only began to eat after confirming that there was no further movement.
