Prehistoric Evolution: Your Uncle Crocodile Makes a Stunning Appearance

After a long stalemate, and having determined that these primordial crocodiles would not come out of the water even if they died, both the crocodile and canine-jawed beast races chose to leave.

The herd of canines moved on decisively.

The leading male canine-jawed beast took one last look at the river, let out a low howl, and led its pack inland without looking back.

Their bellies were sunken, their ribs were faintly visible, and their fur had lost its former luster.

The crocodiles lingered for a while. Several young crocodiles were still hovering by the water's edge, reluctantly peering into the water.

But the leading female crocodile turned around first, its massive body leaving a deep groove in the mud.

Seeing this, the other crocodiles had no choice but to leave as well.

Even the observers of civilization from South Korea and India were furious but helpless in the face of this.

Kim Jung-tae slammed his fist on the sofa, causing a beer glass to tip over.

"Damn it! A bunch of cowards!"

He stared at the original crocodiles still submerged in the water on the screen, wishing he could jump in and scoop them all out himself.

But he couldn't jump in.

Even if he jumped in, he wouldn't be able to swim.

If we end up losing both our wife and our army, and then get bitten by these crocodiles, that wouldn't be fun at all!

Kim Jung-tae took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He picked up a tissue to wipe up the spilled beer, sat back down on the sofa, crossed his arms, and looked ashen-faced.

The Indian athlete was a bit more composed than Kim Jong-tae, but not much better.

He sat cross-legged on the sofa, tapping his knees with his fingers and muttering to himself.

Although it was impossible to hear what he was saying, judging from his expression, he was most likely swearing.

Although they could keep the crocodiles and canine jaw beasts waiting by the river to guard the original crocodiles, they couldn't let them starve to death, could they?

These past few days, in an effort to provoke the crocodiles and get them to crawl out of the water and onto land for a fight, they've been yelling incessantly, but unfortunately, it's all been to no avail.

The first day, they were the loudest.

The howl of the canine jaw beast was sharp and piercing, while the howl of the crocodile was deep and resonant. The two sounds mixed together, like an out-of-tune band playing on the riverbank.

The crocodiles remained submerged in the water, not even blinking.

The next day, the cries subsided a bit.

The young canine jaw beasts had lost their voices and could only hiss.

The crocodile could still roar, but it had clearly lost the momentum it had on the first day. It would roar twice and then pause for a while, much like a working person who didn't want to go to work.

By the third day, most of the canine jawed beasts had stopped barking.

They lay on the bank, chins resting on their front paws, staring blankly at the river.

A few were so hungry that they started gnawing on the ferns on the shore, but after chewing a couple of times they spat them out—they weren't meant for them.

Crocodiles aren't much better off; although they can withstand hunger, they're not made of iron.

Several crocodiles had already started drinking muddy water by the water's edge to fill their bellies, but it provided them with no nutrition whatsoever.

While other crocodiles can simply catch fish in the water, these crocodiles have nothing to eat on the riverbank and can only drink water to stave off hunger.

Several days passed, and they were all skin and bones from hunger.

Although both observers of the civilization could use the interference card to force their observed species to learn to swim, the problem is that only a few days have passed, and they have already used an interference card. Isn't that a bit too extravagant and wasteful?

Kim Jong-tae did consider using the interference card.

He even opened the interface for the interference card the very next day, hovering his finger over the "confirm" button, hesitating for a long time.

But in the end, he closed the interface.

The reason is simple—it's not worth it.

"Anyway, the original crocodiles chosen by the Dragon Kingdom civilization observers are just a bunch of insignificant little bastards," Kim Jong-tae said to his country's camera. "There's no need to waste precious intervention cards on such little bastards."

He spoke in a very firm tone, but his eyes seemed a little unfocused.

The South Korean viewers in the live chat seemed to really appreciate it:

That's right! Wasting interference cards is not worthwhile!

Let those lizards soak in the water forever!

[They can't win anyway, so soaking them is pointless!]

【Kim Jung-tae oppa is brilliant!!!】

Although he couldn't see the comments, only Kim Jung-tae knew that it wasn't that he didn't want to use it, but that he was afraid to.

What if we use the interference card, but the Canine Jaw Beast still can't learn to swim?

The plan clearly states: the scope of intervention is limited, and mindless intervention is not allowed.

Needless to say, the dog-jawed beasts that Kim Jong-tae of South Korea are all far away from the river, clearly showing that they are terrified of water.

Some of the canine jawed beasts were even very careful when drinking water by the river, their front paws gripping the muddy bank tightly and their hind legs taut, as if afraid of accidentally slipping into the water.

That look was just like a landlubber who went to the beach for the first time but was too scared to go in the water.

What's the difference between teaching a canine jawed beast, which is naturally afraid of water, to swim and teaching a pig to fly?

Forget it, I'd rather not take the risk!

As for the crocodile bound to the observer of the Indian civilization, although the animals all have the word "crocodile" in their names, the observer of the Indian civilization would not use his precious interference card here.

He plans to make his crocodile bigger! Stronger! More exaggerated in size!

Although the species selected by India in the previous round of observations also survived to the end (but ultimately could not escape the mass extinction), only the people of India know the frustration they experienced along the way.

Every time, I was chased and attacked; every time, I had to hide; every time, I had to survive until the end.

The Indian athletes have had enough.

So this time, he chose to lure the crocodile just to prove himself.

He wants his observed species to become the dominant species of this era!

Forget Southern Cross Dragon, Forget Eoraptor Dragon, Forget Betawingron Dragon, step aside!

They're both lizards, so should I avoid his sharp edge?

Southern Cross Dragon is indeed very strong, but its claws are not necessarily a disadvantage after evolving into Crocodile!

With this in mind, the Indian athlete's eyes hardened.

He closed the interface of the interference card, leaned back on the sofa, and smiled slightly.

"Just you wait," he whispered, "when my crocodiles grow up, you'll see."

After witnessing the two civilization observers' bound species leave in such a disgraceful manner, the Dragon Kingdom audience finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they stood up again.

I thought they were a group of experts, but they turned out to be a bunch of nobodies.

[Your two countries' contestants were pretty arrogant about the species you were paired with for observation, weren't you? Why didn't you kill our Protosuchus?]

[Exactly! If someone isn't capable, they shouldn't make too many boastful claims; they might bite their tongue.]

[Don't you dare leave! Keep guarding the riverbank. Our observed species will definitely come ashore before you starve to death. (Smiling emoji)]

[Look at those canine-jawed beasts leaving, they looked like a pack of defeated dogs! I'm dying of laughter.]

The species that India has designated for observation is utterly useless. It uses the word "crocodile" in its name but can't even swim. Introducing crocodiles is a disgrace to the crocodile family!

[They're even attracting crocodiles? I think they should just rename it "Dry Crocodile."]
