Chapter 17: First evolution, Agumon!
“Bang bang bang!!”
At this time, hurried and heavy footsteps were heard, and Chu Xu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Long Ma running towards him.
After all, her boss had been chasing the prey for so long and had not come back yet, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried, so she rushed over.
Longyue and Liuxing also ran over.
As soon as I arrived at the scene, what caught my eye was the corpse of the sub-adult Strange Dragon, and lying around it were the corpses of five Stygian Raptor!
Chu Xu had just piled up the bodies of five Stygian Raptors.
At this moment, the blood that was inadvertently stained all over his body, coupled with the five corpses with different causes of death and all miserable under his feet, was really full of visual impact, which made the Mother of Dragons and Liuxing of Misty Moon open their eyes wide.
"Roar~~"
The loving Dragon Mother came to Chu Xu, lowered her head and checked if he was injured.
Although the Styxraptors were just little chicks in her eyes, they were terrifying executioners for the underage Tyrannosaurus Rex, not to mention that there were five of them!
Although the Mother of Dragons couldn't speak, Chu Xu could feel her genuine worry and concern, so he rubbed his head with hers to show that he was fine.
Only after checking that Chu Xu was unharmed did the Dragon Mother feel relieved.
Longyue and Liuxing, who were following behind, had no idea what kind of danger their eldest brother had gone through. They just saw so much fresh food on the ground and their mouths were watering with greed.
With so much food, Chu Xu naturally would not be stingy and shared it with Long Ma, Long Yue and Liu Xing on the spot.
Chu Xu specifically tried the meat of the Styxraptor, which he had never eaten before. However, the Styxraptor was not only covered with feathers, but also had very little meat.
As for the meat, it is too tough, sour, and greasy. It undoubtedly contains high cholesterol and fatty acids. In terms of taste and nutrition, it is far inferior to the meat of the exotic dragon.
Not to mention that as a carnivorous dinosaur, the Styxraptor accumulated too many toxins in its body due to the enrichment effect of the food chain.
Therefore, unless there is a shortage of food and they are starving, carnivorous dinosaurs generally will not eat the meat of other carnivorous dinosaurs, and their priority will always be herbivorous dinosaurs.
After eating and drinking their fill, Chu Xu and his family returned home with a full load.
The Mother of Dragons carried the corpse of an adult Strange Dragon that she had hunted, Chu Xu carried the corpse of a sub-adult Strange Dragon that he had hunted, and they also asked the freeloaders Longyue and Liuxing to bring back a Styxthropod each.
After all, no one can guarantee whether the next hunt will be as smooth as today, so it is always a good idea to store more spare food.
……
That night.
The bright moon rose to the center of the night sky. The scales of the fish occasionally swimming by in the river reflected the color of the moonlight, making the entire surface of the river flow with a faint cold light.
At night, medium and large dinosaurs often rested, leaving only small nocturnal dinosaurs and mammals rustling through the forest, searching for insects and lizards with their eyes that are good at night vision.
Not far away, Long Ma and Longyue Liuxing had already fallen asleep, and Chu Xu quietly came to the river bank to prevent the subsequent movement from disturbing them.
Opening the system's property panel, the evolution point column has accumulated more than 120 points.
"Start evolving!"
Chu Xu's mind moved, and he spent 100 evolution points and couldn't wait to start his first evolution!
At this time, you should play the song "Brave Heart" and do the iconic spinning action.
[Spend 100 evolution points, evolution officially begins...]
As the system prompt sounded, Chu Xu suddenly felt that his body had turned into a volcano that was about to erupt, as if boiling molten lava was filling his limbs, bones, and internal organs, causing tremendous pain.
"Roar..." Chu Xu had to grit his teeth and let out an uncontrollable low roar from the depths of his throat, and his body began to tremble violently.
Cell tissues were proliferating and dividing, muscles and bones were tearing and stretching, and in a short period of time, Chu Xu's body underwent significant changes.
The huge dragon body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a sponge filled with water.
From the head and neck to the shoulders and back and then to the limbs and tail, it was growing. The final body length exceeded 2.5 meters, the head height reached 1 meters, and the weight at least doubled, soaring to 2- kilograms.
The fine hairs on the body surface have all faded away, and the hard scales and strong muscles, like cast copper and iron, make him look even more sturdy and powerful, bringing a full sense of oppression.
In particular, the pair of short forelimbs also lengthened, from two fingers to three fingers, which can be said to be a complete transformation, with a length of more than half a meter.
The already sharp claws are now even sharper, curved like a sickle, with an outer arc of more than 10 centimeters. The outer layer of cuticle is coated with a metallic luster, just like a newly sharpened blade.
Even the sharp fangs on the bloody gums changed accordingly. The overall banana shape became larger, the roots became wider, and the serrations on the edges became denser.
Like sharp barbs, when the teeth pierce the muscle, the barbs can hook the meat fibers and lock them between the teeth, making it as terrible as a meat grinder.
However, what surprised Chu Xu the most were the changes in his internal organs. It was as if a raging fire had ignited within his body, rushing straight from his lungs to his throat, ready to burst out!
"call--!!"
The next second, Chu Xu suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of fire the size of a basketball from the depths of his throat!
The flame emitted a scorching heat, dragging a dazzling red flame tail, and finally landed on a bush on the river bank, igniting it in an instant.
The dazzling flames illuminated the surrounding environment.
fire!
Chu Xu was extremely surprised. There was no doubt that this was Agumon's skill, small flame.
The use of fire is a groundbreaking innovation in the long history of biological evolution, and it is the patent of ancient humans.
Fire brought cooked food, light and warmth to ancient humans, greatly accelerating the pace of ancient human evolution.
The artificial making of fire indicated that ancient humans had mastered the power to change the material world, which brought about a major leap in human civilization and gave them strong capital to deal with those huge and ferocious wild animals.
But that was tens of millions of years later. Mammals had just emerged in the Late Cretaceous, let alone ancient humans, of which there was not even a shadow.
Chu Xu found it hard to imagine how huge a dimensionality reduction blow his mastery of fire would cause to these ancient creatures of the Late Cretaceous.
Horror!
No one knew how long it had passed before Chu Xu's first evolution came to an end and everything was settled.
