Chapter 89

Enjoying the Food Along the Way

Because the crocodiles swam downstream with the current, they hardly needed to exert any effort. In addition, there was plenty of free food to be found on both sides of the river. Therefore, their migration was not so much an escape as a trip.

The current propels them forward; they simply float, occasionally wagging their tails to adjust their direction.

The scenery on both sides of the riverbank slowly recedes, like a scroll painting slowly unfolding.

It's true what they say: you only realize how comfortable it is outside when you leave your comfort zone.

During this escape journey, the crocodiles not only didn't become emaciated from hunger, but actually gained a lot of weight.

The food available to them is incredibly diverse.

There are fish in the river, small-headed beasts on the bank, water dragons in the shallow water, and various small reptiles in the grass.

There's so much food that we can't finish it all, and we can't even pick and choose everything.

Some crocodiles are picky eaters, only eating fish and not meat.

Some crocodiles are not picky eaters and will eat anything, regardless of what comes their way.

Some of the original crocodiles have already started to be picky, refusing to eat those that are too thin, too old, or not fresh enough.

You've really made something of yourself; even your old crocodile grandpa has learned to be picky about food these days.

One of the proto-crocodiles even hunted down a Southern Cross Dragon that was drinking water.

It was a young male Southern Cross Dragon, nearly two meters long, with strong and powerful hind limbs and short but sharp claws on its forelimbs.

They are the lords of this area, and no animal dares to mess with them.

It had just finished eating half of the little water dragon beast, its belly was round and full, and it walked to the riverbank, lowered its head and began to drink water.

The Southern Cross Dragon drank water in large gulps, showing no sign of alertness whatsoever.

So it didn't even notice that there was a "log" slowly drifting towards it from under 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 river, and it is impossible to tell the difference without careful observation.

Just as the Southern Cross Dragon finished drinking its fill and was about to look up and leave, the "wooden log" suddenly moved.

The Protocrocodile leaped out of the water, opened its mouth, and precisely bit the hind leg of the Southern Cross Dragon.

The Southern Cross Dragon roared and struggled desperately.

It kicked off with its hind legs, trying to shake off the crocodile, but the crocodile wouldn't let go, its teeth embedded in the flesh.

The Southern Cross Dragon used its other leg to kick the Protocrocodile, and it hit it. The Protocrocodile's body swayed, but its jaws remained firmly in its mouth.

The Southern Cross Dragon used its tail to lash out at the Protocrocodile, and it hit it. The Protocrocodile's body slid across the water's surface, but its jaws remained clenched.

Then, the original crocodile turned over.

With its four short legs tucked to its sides and its tail swung wildly, the whole body began to spin in the water.

The Southern Cross Dragon was tumbled along with it, its hind legs twisted into an impossible angle inside the Primal Crocodile's mouth.

With a snap, its bone broke.

The Southern Cross Dragon lost its balance and fell into the water.

The crocodile loosened its hind legs and then bit its neck.

The Southern Cross Dragon struggled in the water for a few moments, then stopped moving; the whole process took less than a minute.

A one-meter-long Protocrocodile killed a nearly two-meter-long Southern Cross Dragon.

The Chinese audience erupted in cheers upon witnessing this scene.

[Holy crap, what happened to the escape trip? There's even more exciting stuff to watch! This is even more thrilling than what we did back home!]

[A Southern Crossosaurus! That's a Southern Crossosaurus! A Southern Crossosaurus that can transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the future! Our baby crocodile has finally made something of himself!]

Currently, it seems that, apart from a very few observed species that we simply cannot defeat, none of the other observed species are a match for us! How did we suddenly go from last place to the top ten?

[That's because Wang Lin's insight is too sharp. We only saw the first layer, but he saw the third! We thought Yuan E was a good-for-nothing, but Wang Lin knew Yuan E was a hidden gem. I'm impressed, completely impressed!]

【…】

There's no way to counter it; the combination of a feigned ambush and a death roll is simply too difficult to break.

Although the original Crocodile only has two moves, those two moves are enough to get him to the top of the Chinese server.

Unless it encounters a super-large vehicle like the alligator, with skin so thick it can't be bitten and weight so heavy it can't be overturned, the alligator can drive most vehicles.

Although the Southern Cross Dragon was strong, its skin was not as thick as that of the crocodile, and its weight was not as large. Therefore, the crocodile could bite through its skin and flip its body.

Once the other party is put into the water, their life or death is entirely in the control of the crocodile.

In the water, the crocodile is the true king.

No matter how hard you bite, you can't open your mouth once you're in the water.

No matter how strong you are, you can't exert your strength in the water.

Entering the waters of the crocodile is like entering its slaughterhouse.

By the time Jack, the observer of civilization from the United States, realized something was wrong, the original crocodile population had already drifted dozens of miles away.

He discovered that one was missing during a routine check of the Southern Crossosaurus population.

This is terrible!

It should be noted that the Southern Cross Dragon, as the overlord of this area, has always only died of old age, never been killed!

So he flipped through the records, checking them one by one, and discovered that a young male Southern Cross Dragon was missing.

He pulled up the playback and saw the scene of the original crocodile killing the Southern Cross Dragon.

When Jack learned that it was the Protocrocodilian, almost the weakest of all the observed species, that had killed his Southern Crossosaurus, his expression was priceless.

He had intended to send the Southern Cross Dragon to hunt down the Primal Crocodile, but the creature had already vanished.

This drove Jack to a state of impotent rage, ultimately leading him to have his Southern Cross Dragon slaughter a group of Water Dragon Beasts.

The Southern Cross Dragons charged into the horde of Water Dragons, killing one after another, more than they ate.

The corpses of the water dragons lay scattered on the ground, their blood flowing like a river.

Looking at the corpses, Jack finally felt a little better.

But the original crocodile population did more than just that.

They traveled downstream and ate almost every species they observed.

There are water dragons, canine jaw beasts, southern cross dragons, Eoraptor, and various other small, unidentified reptiles.

Eat one if it comes, eat two if it comes.

Their bellies were so full that they floated on the water and couldn't sink.

Two strong and agile Protocrocodiles even hunted down a Betian Pterosaur.

The Pteranodon was drinking water by the river when two Proto-crocodiles suddenly emerged from the water, one biting its leg and the other its wing.

The Pteranodon flapped its wings, trying to fly, but one of its wings was caught in its jaws, preventing it from taking off.

The crocodile dragged it into the water, where it writhed and died.

The wings of the Pteranodon were twisted off, and its body was torn to pieces.

The crocodiles, carrying scraps of meat, swam to the deeper waters and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Wow, you can even eat an empty meal.

This original crocodile population ate almost everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water!

The diet of the original crocodile has never been so diverse.
