Chapter 79
How can this BYD be so bad!
Seeing this, some intelligent people in South Korea stopped their insults, as if they had figured something out.
[The situation has changed, brothers, please stop cursing just yet.]
I think I know what this kid's up to!
That kid is really wicked!
Conversely, some Chinese people who had begun to understand the general situation started to criticize Kim Jong-tae.
[That damn Kim Jung-tae, I knew he wasn't up to any good!]
[Damn it, they actually tried to use crocodiles to deal with our original crocodiles! That guy is wicked!]
What are people talking about? I don't understand.
[You still don't understand this? This kid is clearly using these canine-jawed beasts as bait to lure the crocodiles into the territory of the original crocodiles, and then taking the opportunity to kill our original crocodiles!]
Holy crap, how can BYD be so wicked?!
Even if Kim Jong-tae could see these insults, he would only smile slightly.
Let him curse all he wants, it's not like he'll lose anything.
Besides, he can't see it!
Moreover, Kim Jung-tae believed that doing so was the most correct decision he could make.
Since the species he observed was no match for Protocrocodilian, why didn't he just find a powerful opponent for Protocrocodilian?
This is called using someone else to do the dirty work!
This is called shifting the blame eastward!
This is called "driving a tiger to devour a wolf!"
Although he didn't drive away a tiger or lead a wolf, the principle is the same.
Under Kim Jong-tae's command, the canine-jawed beasts that had arrived at the riverbank entered the water and began swimming towards the other side.
Kim Jung-tae told them that they could escape danger as long as they swam to the other side.
So these canine-jawed beasts swam incredibly fast, their four legs thrashing about in the water, splashing water everywhere, like a dozen small boats equipped with motors.
Upon witnessing this, the civilization observer from India let out a cold laugh.
"Little ones, after all these years, you're not the only ones who can swim."
As he spoke, he lowered his crocodile into the water.
Unlike before when he would have an aversion to water, the crocodile can now actually swim, though it's a bit slow.
Their four legs paddled in the water, their bodies bobbing up and down like dozens of overloaded ferries.
After the last natural disaster instance, almost all the observed species have learned to swim.
Those who couldn't swim all drowned; those who survived were all swimmers.
Nature's selection process is so cruel; those who can't adapt will die!
The observed species have varying swimming speeds, some fast and some slow, and most can only paddle on the surface and cannot swim underwater.
Being able to float without sinking is one thing, but being able to fight in the water is another.
But crocodiles can do that; they can even hold their breath underwater for more than three minutes, far exceeding the canine jaw beast.
Three minutes of breath-holding time is enough for them to ambush in shallow water, enough for them to launch a surprise attack from underwater, enough for them to drag their prey into deep water to drown... In fact, they don't even need to go that far. As long as they can bite their prey, it means that the other party is about to die.
The strongest overlord on land right now is no joke!
And because the canine jaw beast swam so fast, it caused ripples on the water's surface, splashing water several meters high, making a noise as loud as someone throwing a grenade into the river.
Such a commotion would naturally attract the attention of some animals.
For example, the crocodiles lurking in the surrounding area.
The crocodiles naturally wouldn't miss out on this divinely bestowed food.
They moved from the surface to the deeper water, like ninjas who could not be seen, twisting their bodies silently as they slowly advanced towards the canine-jawed beasts.
With its short legs close to its sides and its tail swaying from side to side, the little body glides through the water like a torpedo.
The canine-jawed beasts were completely unaware of the impending danger.
Looking at the distance they had already swum halfway, the canine-jawed beasts were still feeling fortunate, thinking that if they swam just half more, they could escape!
The first half of the swim went smoothly, and there shouldn't be any problems in the second half either.
The water was clear, the sky was blue, the wind was gentle, and everything was beautiful.
Once they're out of danger, they're going to have a big feast!
However, at that moment, a canine-jawed beast suddenly let out a puzzled bark, then sank to the bottom of the water, leaving no further sound except for a ripple.
Moments later, blood gushed out from the bottom of the water.
The dark red blood spread in the water, like a blooming red flower.
On the water's surface, the wave had dissipated, leaving only ripples spreading outwards.
Audiences and observers of civilizations from various countries don't find it strange because they can switch perspectives on all the species they are observing at any time.
They could see what was happening underwater, see the primordial crocodile leap out from below and bite the throat of the canine jaw beast, and see the canine jaw beast struggle a few times in the water before becoming still.
But for the canine jaw beast, the scene before it was no less terrifying than the most horrifying horror movie.
Your own companion, who was swimming peacefully beside you one second, disappeared the next.
There were no screams, no struggles, no cries for help.
It simply vanished into thin air, leaving only a pool of blood slowly rising from the bottom of the water.
But they cannot see their companions, nor can they see the murderer who killed them.
Beneath the water, there is only darkness, silence, and death.
At this moment, even the slow-witted canine jaw beast realized that something was wrong.
They emitted a wailing warning sound, as if Hakimi were breathing heavily to rebuke the enemy coming from underwater.
The sound was urgent, shrill, and filled with fear, echoing across the river.
But the crocodiles didn't care; they continued to target what seemed to be the weakest.
A crocodile spotted the slowest-swimming canine jawed beast and stealthily approached from the bottom of the water.
Another crocodile spotted a canine jaw beast that was too frightened to move and circled around it from the side.
After two more canine jaw beasts were dragged into the water and turned into blood, the remaining canine jaw beasts finally collapsed.
They let out mournful barks, then, regardless of direction, only wanted to get out of the water as quickly as possible.
Some swam forward, some swam back, some swam to the left, and some swam to the right.
The entire river was in complete chaos, with the canine-jawed beasts running around like headless flies.
But how could the primal crocodile let go of this food delivered to its doorstep? The slaughter continued. A canine jawed beast was dragged into the water, a canine jawed beast had its leg bitten off, and a canine jawed beast had its neck snapped by a death roll.
Bloodstains were everywhere on the water's surface, and the howls and struggles of canine-jawed beasts echoed everywhere.
Watching this scene, Kim Jung-tae maintained his cold smile.
His lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes narrowed into slits, like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
Clearly, although he gave the canine jaw beasts the signal that "they can survive as long as they cross the water," he had no intention of letting them live.
Their deaths were also part of the plan.
