Chapter 14: From this point on, the reptile Protocrocodile directly transformed into an amphibian.
[Kim Jung-tae oppa is invincible, I love you!!!]
Kim Jung-tae is awesome! We've got this in the bag!
[I thought it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect to defeat these lizards so easily. The species that the Dragon Kingdom chose for observation are truly useless!]
[The Chinese even said our canine-jawed beast looks like a stray dog and needs a bath. I think your little lizard should take a bath first!]
[Weren't the Chinese audience members just being quite arrogant with their insults? Why did they stop?]
[Exactly, is it because you were thinking about something upsetting?]
[Let's bet! Let's bet! I bet the Dragon Kingdom will be the first to be eliminated!]
I'm going all in!!!
[Useless Dragon Kingdom, speak up!!!]
In an instant, the live stream chat was flooded with comments from South Korean viewers, a true victory for Chun Chun in spirit.
Seeing the arrogant South Korean contestants and the even more arrogant audience, the Chinese audience wanted to say something, but looking at the pitiful original crocodiles who had been beaten into the water by the dog-jawed beasts, they ultimately chose to remain silent.
Forget it, I'm not going to argue with them anymore.
[We really can't beat them... There are over thirty canine-jawed beasts, while our original crocodiles only have forty-odd. We clearly have the advantage, but the size difference is too great.]
[The canine jaw beast broke the original crocodile's leg with one bite, but our original crocodile bit it and didn't even break the skin... How can we fight like this?]
Ugh, I'm not watching anymore, I'm too tired.
Wait, it seems like only a few of our original crocodiles died? Were they just driven into the water?
[So what if I didn't die? How long can I survive in the water? There's nothing to eat.]
[Exactly, they'll starve to death sooner or later.]
The situation is not favorable for me, so I should temporarily avoid confrontation.
The Chinese audience chose to remain silent.
Of course, the Chinese audience did not choose to remain indifferent.
They contacted the Dragon Kingdom Blue Star Online research team, asking them to get in touch with Wang Lin and come up with a solution.
We can't just stand by and watch the species we're monitoring get bullied like this, can we?
Look at that pitiful little crocodile's eyes, it looks like Bruce from their family who's been wronged.
I really can't stand it.
In fact, the research team had already become impatient when the protocrocodile was driven into the water by the canine jaw beast.
They jointly requested that Mr. Li contact Wang Lin and ask him to come up with a solution.
If all else fails, they can migrate; after all, many other civilizations have done this.
It's not shameful to lose a fight; what's shameful is knowing you can't win but still forcing it.
Moreover, their goal was not to become the world's hegemon and unify the Triassic period, but simply to survive.
Just like the Water Dragon Beast chosen by the observers of the Sakura Kingdom civilization, it was clearly a herbivore, but it was still chosen because the Water Dragon Beast lived a long time.
So what if they eat grass?
As long as I can survive, that's enough.
"Old Li, contact Wang Lin and ask him to relocate the crocodiles. If the riverbed can't be saved, then forget about it. Pangu Continent is so big, they can survive anywhere else."
"Yes, Elder Li, if this continues, the original crocodiles might be eaten up by the canine-jawed beasts!"
"Even if they aren't all eaten, staying in the water indefinitely isn't a solution. The proto-crocodiles aren't aquatic animals; how long can they stay in the water?"
To be honest, when he heard everyone's suggestion, Old Li was also a little tempted.
He also wanted to contact Wang Lin to ask him what he was thinking.
But looking at the image of Wang Lin on the screen—the kid was sprawled on the sofa, holding a bag of snacks, chewing on something, his eyes fixed on the Yuan Crocodile on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips…
Old Li was undecided for a moment.
Is this child truly confident, or simply fearless?
Knowing full well that he would die if he lost, why wasn't he panicked at all?
This is a question that Mr. Li may never get an answer to in his lifetime.
However, considering that Wang Lin was not flustered, and that the opportunity to contact him was very precious, Old Li decided to wait a little longer.
"Wait a little longer." Old Li pressed down on the staff member next to him who had already picked up the communicator.
"But Old Li..."
"I said wait a little longer." Old Li's tone left no room for argument.
He stared at Wang Lin's profile on the screen and muttered to himself:
"What are you thinking?"
When Wang Lin saw his original crocodile being driven into the water by a pack of dogs, it would be a lie to say he felt no emotion.
He was so happy!
Originally, crocodiles only liked dark and damp places, and it would take them millions of years to prepare for entering the water.
Unexpectedly, due to the actions of the Korean civilization observers, the original crocodile entered the water ahead of schedule.
From then on, the reptile Protocrocodile directly transformed into an amphibian.
They've already started stacking buffs.
Wang Lin popped another bite of snack into his mouth, chewing it with a crunchy sound.
"I'll bite your Uncle Crocodile... no, I should say Grandpa Crocodile..." he muttered, "and after I bite your Grandpa Crocodile, I'll go into the water."
"If you go into the water, how will you bite?"
The comments section couldn't understand Wang Lin's expression.
He's laughing? He's actually laughing?
[Our original crocodile got beaten up, and he's laughing???]
Are you so angry you've gone mad?
[No, look at his eyes. He's not smiling; he's... pleased?]
[What a load of rubbish! Being happy when your own kid gets beaten? What a terrible father!]
Is it possible that... he deliberately lured the original crocodile into the water?
[Intentionally? Why? What will they eat if they go into the water? Will they just starve?]
I don't know... but I have a feeling this kid has a backup plan.
What backup plan? Explain yourself!
I can't quite explain it, it's just a feeling. Look at his expression, doesn't it remind you of when you're playing a game and intentionally feeding kills, but you're actually building up your ultimate move?
[Feeding kills to save up for a big surprise? That's just being a noob, isn't it?]
"...Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore."
The atmosphere in the research team's meeting room remained tense.
A young researcher stared at the crocodiles soaking in water on the screen and suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" the person next to me asked.
"Look..." the young researcher pointed at the screen, "those proto-crocodiles seem... quite comfortable in the water?"
Everyone crowded around to take a look.
In the video, more than twenty crocodiles are soaking in the river, with only their flat heads and protruding eyes showing.
Their bodies are completely submerged in the water, their four short legs gently paddling underwater, and their tails swaying from side to side to maintain their balance.
One crocodile even dived to the bottom of the water, used its claws to dig through the silt at the bottom of the riverbed, and pulled out a finger-length ancient fish, which it swallowed whole.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "They...can dive?"
Another said, "Didn't Old Li say this guy looked like a crocodile before? Now it looks more and more like one!"
"But although they're called Protocrocodilians, they're not real crocodiles. Do they look like crocodiles?"
"Then how do you explain what just happened?"
Everyone fell silent.
Old Li stared intently at the crocodile that had emerged from the water, his gaze becoming profound.
Things seem to be getting out of hand.
