Chapter 24 Intermediate Skills! Styx Dragon! (Please add this to your collection and recommend)
It was a new day, the sun was shining brightly, the weather was hot and humid, there was not a breath of wind, and the thick air seemed to be frozen.

After completing the daily skill proficiency training in the morning, Chu Xu continuously dissipated heat through the specialized postnasal sinuses of theropod dinosaurs, regulated his body temperature, and continuously exhaled hot air through his nose.

"This damn weather..."

Chu Xu secretly complained that he really missed the days of the future when there were air conditioners, refrigerators, and fat house water.

As dinosaurs do not have sweat glands, they cannot even sweat and can only regulate their body temperature by themselves. Otherwise, if their body temperature is too high, they will easily suffer from heatstroke.

At this time, new information appeared in front of Chu Xu.

[Random Scratching (1000/1000), proficiency is full, automatically upgraded to Flame Claw. ]

[Flame Claws (0/5000): Intermediate skill, uses claws burning with fire to attack the opponent, causing tearing and burning damage.]

[Crush (1000/1000), proficiency is full, automatically upgraded to Flame Fang. 】

[Flame Fang (0/5000): Intermediate skill, uses teeth burning with flames to attack the opponent, causing bite and burn damage.]

[Slam (1000/1000), proficiency is full, automatically upgraded to Flash Charge. ]

[Flame Charge (0/5000): Intermediate skill, surround yourself with flames and charge at the opponent, causing collision and burning damage.]

[Speed ​​up (1000/1000), proficiency is full, automatically upgraded to high-speed movement. ]

[High-speed Movement (0/5000): Intermediate skill. Use continuous high-speed stomping on the ground to generate explosive reaction force for high-speed movement, which can temporarily increase your speed by twice.]

"Finally, I have upgraded these four primary skills to intermediate skills."

Chu Xu nodded with satisfaction. After more than half a year of persistent proficiency training, he finally reached the maximum value.

A notable feature of these intermediate skills is that they combine the burning damage of fire with the basic skills!
Flame Claws, Flame Fangs, and Flash Flame Charge all attach flames to oneself and then attack the enemy. The damage is undoubtedly increased several times more than a single basic skill!
The final high-speed movement can temporarily increase its speed by twice, which is equivalent to bursting out at three times the original speed.

"Check my properties panel."

……

In two months, Chu Xu's four-dimensional attributes doubled compared to when he just evolved, breaking through the 300 mark.

The changes in body shape are also very obvious. The body length is close to 3 meters, the head height reaches 1 meters, and the weight has exceeded half a ton!
I am afraid that in another half a year, or at most a year, Chu Xu's rapidly and wildly growing body size will be enough to reach the upper limit of adolescence and usher in the second evolution.

"I'm hungry, time to go hunting."

Daily skill proficiency training is a basic warm-up for Chu Xu, and after warming up, it is time to move around.

Because the family’s food reserves have been eaten up, Long Ma has taken Longyue and Liuxing out hunting.

Ever since Chu Xu started hunting independently, Long Ma has completely let him go and generally won't ask him to follow her.

Chu Xu was also happy to be free, he could choose his own prey, hunt independently, and show off his skills. After leaving home, Chu Xu followed the river whose water level had dropped by half, looking for prey all the way downstream.

There were almost no fish in the river, and Chu Xu was helpless without the resources. However, the water from the river still attracted many herbivorous dinosaurs that were thirsty due to the hot weather to drink water to quench their thirst.

Not long after, Chu Xu's telepathic perception captured a group of Styx dragons drinking water collectively on the river bank.

The Styx Dragon has little to do with the Styx Raptor that Chu Xu encountered before.
It is a medium-sized herbivorous dinosaur of the genus Styxosaurus in the family Pachycephalosauria, with a body length between 2.5 and 3 meters, a height of nearly 1 meter, and a weight of about kilograms.

Styxosaurus means "demon from the River Styx". The name comes from the scene when its fossils were discovered, which was as terrifying as taking out the remains of a demon from hell.

The appearance of the Styx Dragon is also very prominent and strange. It looks like a sheep but not a sheep, and like a deer but not a deer. Its head is the size of a basketball, and it has a hard, protruding round parietal bone on its head, as if it is wearing a helmet.

And unlike other pachycephalosaurs, the round parietal bone of the Styx has many protruding bone spikes around it. Although they are not as huge as the horns of the Triceratops, they also exude a chilling sharpness.

"It's decided to be you."

Chu Xu's eyes lit up. It was the first time he saw a strange-looking dinosaur like the Styxosaurus, and he decided to try it without hesitation.

Chu Xu quietly approached the location of the Styx dragons while observing their every move.

"Bang!! Bang!!"

Suddenly, Chu Xu saw two sturdy male Styx dragons, who seemed to dislike each other, and they lowered their heads and collided with each other face to face.

Their hard and thick skulls collided violently, and a crisp sound echoed in the air.

If the first time doesn't decide the winner, then try twice, three times...

The two male Styx dragons kept retreating and charging, colliding with each other violently with their iron head skills, each time more intense than the last.

If it were any other dinosaur, it would have suffered a concussion long ago.

But for pachycephalosaurs such as Styx, this level of head impact was commonplace.

Not only are their heads very hard, but they also have three completely different layers of structure, which can effectively transmit the impact and shock of head impacts to the whole body through nerves, thereby reducing damage to the head.

However, Chu Xu, who saw this scene, still felt a headache for some reason...

Next to the two male Styx dragons, there was a smaller female Styx dragon. She seemed a little anxious and kept shouting, as if she was persuading them not to fight anymore.

Little did they know that the two male Styx dragons were fighting for her favor, and now with the beautiful dragon beside them, they worked even harder and refused to show weakness, not stopping until they had completely defeated the other side.

Finally, after a series of fierce and desperate battles, one of the male Styx dragons emerged victorious and knocked his opponent to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

The victorious male Styx dragon came to the front of the female Styx dragon with great vigor and pride. The female Styx dragon could not help but be conquered by his majestic appearance and began to rub her ears intimately with him.

"Shh!"

However, in the next second.

The male Styx dragon, who was originally full of complacency, suddenly saw a half-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly appear behind the female Styx dragon. The speed was so fast that he had no time to react, and the female Styx dragon was knocked to the ground.
