Chapter 73
I will give you the most direct, truthful, straightforward, heart-wrenching, and hardcore
"Holy crap!? What... what's going on?"
Kim Jung-tae, who had initially thought this would be a one-sided massacre, suddenly jumped up and stared at the screen in disbelief.
His chair slid backward and hit the wall with a thud, but he didn't even notice.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth agape, staring intently at the canine-jawed beast on the screen that was sinking to the bottom of the water.
According to his idea, the canine jaw beast should be able to completely overwhelm the protocrocodile.
After all, back on land, the Canejaw Beast could beat the Protocrocodile so badly that it had no choice but to enter the water.
Later, if it weren't for the fact that the Jawed Beast was not a good swimmer, he would have definitely made the Jawed Beast jump into the water and wiped out all the original crocodiles, leaving none alive!
Let the observers of the Dragon Kingdom's civilization and the species they observe become the first unlucky ones to be eliminated!
Now that his canine jaw beast can swim, what does Yuan Crocodile have to fight him with?
They are not as large as canine jaw beasts, nor are they as numerous, and their fighting ability is not even in the same league.
This should have been a one-sided massacre.
Why did things suddenly turn out differently?
Not only Kim Jung-tae, but even the South Korean audience was completely baffled at this moment.
[Damn it, how come a canine jawed beast suddenly died? This doesn't make sense!]
Why did this crocodile fight back? Shouldn't it have obediently lined up to be killed by our canine jawed beasts? That's how they were chased by us on land back then!
[Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling? Look, the other crocodiles seem to be swimming towards deeper water, and those canine-jawed beasts are still chasing them. Could something bad be about to happen?]
Don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own! This was just a coincidence! That hound-jawed beast must have been too exhausted from chasing so fast!
[Yes, this was just an isolated incident. The canine jawed beast was probably too exhausted from chasing too fast, which is why the original crocodile managed to kill it with all its might! This will absolutely never happen again!]
[Yes, yes, that's right! We cannibals can fight crocodiles on land, and we can fight them in the water too! So what if one died? What's the big deal...]
【…】
South Korean audiences are quite good at finding excuses for themselves, and they quickly brainwashed themselves.
Some say the canine jawed beast was weak to begin with, others say it choked on water because it was rushing too fast, and still others say it might have had a cramp.
In short, it wasn't a problem with the Cannibalmon, nor did the original Crocodile become stronger; it was just bad luck.
Even Kim Jung-tae used this excuse to deceive himself, thinking that it was just that the canine-jawed beast was in bad shape and had bad luck, which is why it was killed by the original crocodile.
He took a deep breath, sat back down on the sofa, and once again hovered his finger above the light screen.
Seeing that Kim Jong-tae and the South Korean audience's reactions didn't seem fake, the Chinese audience, who had been staying silent, finally spoke up.
[Dude, you guys really can't see the reality?]
[Even on land, the canine jaw beast was no match for the aquatic crocodile; now that it's in the water, how could it possibly be a match?]
Have you bunch of little bastards forgotten how our original crocodile with its enormous stomach wiped out an entire canine jaw beast population?
[I thought this guy had some winning strategy in getting the canine jaw beast into the water, but this is it? This is it?]
I thought I'd gotten a big one, but it turned out to be a huge mess.
[I will give you the most direct, truthful, straightforward, hurtful, hardcore, decisive, concise, insightful, merciless, and incisive conclusion: This Kim Jong-tae is an idiot! And these South Korean viewers are a bunch of idiots too!]
It's true! I can't even refute it!
【…】
Rewind a few minutes, back when Kim Jung-tae let his dog-jawed beast into the water, the Chinese audience had similar questions.
Although the original crocodile on land was no match for the canine jaw beast, and was almost beaten to a pulp by it, it was forced to enter the water.
However, the original crocodiles in the water can already kill canine jaw beasts. For a specific example, you can refer to the original crocodile ancestor with a big stomach. It can wipe out an entire canine jaw beast population by itself.
Therefore, we can conclude that, considering only these two observed species, Protocrocodilians are the strongest in water, while Caniscus is the strongest on land.
Even if the canine jawed beasts later learned to swim, they could only swim with difficulty; they had no way to hunt in the water.
Splashing around in the water and fighting in the water are two different things.
You can doggy paddle, that's true, but can you do a death roll?
Can you hold your breath for half a minute and hold onto your prey in the water without letting go?
So here's the question: how did Kim Jung-tae dare to use the weakness of the canine jaw beast to challenge the strength of the original crocodile?
What else is this but self-inflicted harm?
But looking at Kim Jung-tae, who was full of confidence and pride, and considering that they couldn't open the champagne halfway through the match, the Chinese audience surprisingly chose to remain silent.
Their initial thought was the same as when Kim Jong-tae first arrived in this area: what if?
What if the human's canine jawed beast has evolved to be extremely powerful over the past thousand years?
What if a cannibalistic beast that can swim could easily defeat a crocodile in the water just as it could on land?
So they were still quite uneasy, fearing that the canine jaw beast, which could swim, would easily defeat the original crocodile in the water just as it would on land.
Some people are even silently praying that the original crocodile can withstand this wave and not be beaten too badly.
The result was thought-provoking, and indeed, as the viewers in China had expected, these canine-jawed beasts were no match for the original crocodile in the water.
And ducks are delivered right to your door!
This is the first time I've ever seen an enemy cripple themselves to seek revenge...
Family, do you think I can hold my nerve?
Sorry everyone, I couldn't hold it in.
However, the people of South Korea are naturally argumentative; the more you criticize them, the more they will contradict you.
Some of the more naive South Korean viewers had already realized that the Jawmon was not good at fighting in the water, so they were preparing to suggest that the Jawmon retreat to land and devise a new strategy.
However, upon hearing what the Chinese audience said, they immediately became extremely anxious and their tempers flared up on the spot.
[Hey, you call us stupid? Are you all so smart? If your Dragon Kingdom's observers were smart, how could the species you've been observing have been forced into the water to survive by us?]
[Exactly! Stop talking nonsense, defeated opponents! Let's see who's the real deal!]
[It's just that a canine jawed beast died by accident, what are you Chinese viewers so smug about? It's like you've won a whole war!]
[That's right, this was purely an accident! Don't believe me? Just keep reading! We, the canine jaw beasts, will soon kill all the original crocodiles, leaving not a single one alive!]
