Chapter 39: How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert! The way to survive! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes)
The migrating group of herbivorous dinosaurs has already set off, but this time Chu Xu and his family did not follow closely, but stayed behind to "clean up the mess."

It would be such a waste to just leave so many dead and injured dinosaurs here. No matter what, we have to have a full meal before continuing on our way.

The rest of the carnivorous dinosaurs had the same idea. After the riot was over, they re-entered this death zone littered with corpses and greedily enjoyed the delicious food they had picked up for free.

History always repeats itself in a surprising way. Not long ago, herbivorous dinosaurs were snatching food here, and now it is the turn of carnivorous dinosaurs to snatch food here. There are countless cases of fights between them.

Chu Xu's family has Dragon Mother in charge, which is enough to intimidate other villains.

So they quickly occupied the body of an adult Triceratops, and while they were busy eating, they did not forget to be alert to other carnivorous dinosaurs around them.

"Roar~~"

Chu Xu also specifically reminded Dragon Mother and Crescent Moon Liuxing to never get close to the nearby swamp.

Crescent Moon Liuxing was fine, but with Long Ma's weight, once she fell into it, she would be doomed, and Chu Xu had no way to rescue her.

At this time, within the range of Chu Xu's telepathic perception, bursts of slight strange noises came from a nearby swamp.

Several Montana alligators quietly emerged from the water and secretly spied on the Chu Xu family who were feasting on their food.

"What do these guys want to do?"

Chu Xu continued to eat calmly. Crocodiles have always had a rather strange way of thinking. In later times, they even dared to attack land heavyweights such as rhinos and elephants.

If it were in the Cretaceous period, they would probably have dared to bite even a large dinosaur with their eyes closed, and as for what would happen afterwards, it would have been entirely up to fate.

"Crash! Crash!"

With a loud explosion on the water surface, a Montana alligator jumped out of the swamp first, and with the help of amazing explosive power, it swung its limbs and crawled quickly, opening its mouth to bite the body of the Triceratops.

The rest of the Montana alligators followed suit, feeling as if they had come uninvited to enjoy a free meal.

"Roar!!"

Snatching food from the mouth of Tyrannosaurus Rex, I have to say these crocodiles are really bold and presumptuous. Do they think they have the same huge body as their ancestor Deinosuchus and dare to challenge Tyrannosaurus Rex?

What's more, they left their home ground and came to the land to compete for food with Tyrannosaurus Rex openly. They really don't know their place.

In the eyes of the Mother of Dragons, these Montana crocodiles, which are only about 3 meters long and not even as tall as her calves, are no different from a group of ants.

How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert?

"Bang!!"

The angry Dragon Queen took a step forward, and just as she approached the Montana crocodile that was leading the food grabbing, she stomped down with her powerful foot, stepping on its head with incredible violence.

With the Mother of Dragons' sturdy body, the skull of the Montana crocodile could not bear the weight at all and was crushed alive by a kick. In an instant, it ended up with its brain and liver scattered on the ground, like a lump of mud.

The other alligators realized they had kicked the steel plate, and hurriedly dropped the food in their mouths, and stood up on their short legs to try to turn around and escape back to the swamp.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind. It turned out that Chu Xu rushed out like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. In a few breaths, he had approached the side of a Montana alligator.

With Chu Xu's current size, he naturally couldn't do what Long Ma did, and crush it to death, but he also had his own way of hunting. With liquid weapons and blazing fire attached to his teeth at the same time, Chu Xu bit the back of the Montana Armored Crocodile's neck accurately, and the dragon body weighing 1 ton also suppressed it.

The back of the crocodile's neck is its weak spot. It can not only avoid the crocodile's bloody mouth from the front, but also lock its trachea, making it unable to breathe.

"Hiss! Hiss!!"

The Montana alligator was caught off guard and howled in pain. Its stout short legs and tail struggled frantically.

But how could it escape from Chu Xu's palm? The thick scales covering the back of its neck were easily pierced, and the high temperature of the flames further burned the muscles, allowing its teeth to deeply embed into the trachea of ​​the Montana alligator, killing its throat with one sword!
"Hiss..."

In just a few seconds, the Montana alligator, which was just full of energy, died.

thump! thump!
The rest of the Montana alligators fled back into the swamp in panic, and Chu Xu naturally would not chase them anymore.

In the water, he cannot use his strongest fire ability freely and his movements will be restricted. It is not easy to deal with the crocodile, the king of freshwater.

[Ding! You hunted a Montana alligator, evolution points +30. ]

30 evolution points, not bad.

"It's a pity that Deinosuchus has become extinct in this era. There's no sense of accomplishment in bullying these small and medium-sized crocodiles."

Chu Xu pondered in his heart.

Speaking of prehistoric crocodiles, the most famous ones are the Sarcosuchus, Deinosuchus and Purussaurus. Their sizes are much larger than the largest saltwater crocodile in later generations.

Sarcosuchus lived in Africa during the Early Cretaceous and could reach a length of 11 meters. However, Sarcosuchus belonged to the family Megalosuchidae and had a relatively long snout, which meant that their main food was still fish and turtles, and they were not a big threat to large dinosaurs.

Deinosuchus lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous. It could reach a length of 10 meters and belonged to the superfamily Alligatorioidea. It fed on fish, turtles, and small and medium-sized dinosaurs. Even large dinosaurs could become its prey.

Deinosuchus lived very close to Tyrannosaurus Rex, but there was still a gap of millions of years between them and he became extinct before Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.

Living in the same era as Tyrannosaurus Rex were its close relatives, Albertosaurus and Appalachiansaurus, both members of the Tyrannosaurid family. Although they were not as big as Tyrannosaurus Rex, Deinosuchus posed a certain threat to them.

As for the last Purusaurus, which lived in South America in the late Miocene, that is a story for another time.

However, Chu Xu also knew that although the existing crocodiles were much smaller than their ancestors, they were more adapted to the living environment of the Late Cretaceous.

That is why they were able to survive the mass extinction of dinosaurs and continue to live tenaciously in the doomsday environment where everything withered.

According to Cope's law, as time goes by, the size of animals generally tends to increase.
Large herbivores can fight against hunting by carnivores, and large carnivores can also hunt large prey, which is beneficial to their own survival.

But success and failure are both due to the same person. The larger the animal, the lower its ability to resist changes in the natural environment will be, and it will inevitably go extinct. Dinosaurs are the most intuitive example.

Therefore, biological evolution does not mean the bigger the better; the most important thing is the ability to adapt and survive.
