Leaving the activity room, Chen Chu went to the training classroom to practice sword skills and dragon elephant skills. It didn't end until the school bell rang after four o'clock.
Today he did not go to the reading room to read, but left school early.
After walking out of the school gate, Chen Chu took a taxi and went to the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market.
It was still the bird and insect pet shop. Chen Chu walked in and said familiarly: "Boss Li, where are the insects I ordered?"
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, the boss showed a smile on his face: "Here, I put them in boxes, and I put a few more for you in case they die on the road."
With that said, Boss Li took Chen Chu to a shelf inside, where there was a small box twenty centimeters long and wide, with some rotten leaves lined inside.
On these leaves, four insects with a total length of about three centimeters, long and narrow bodies, and a metallic sheen were crawling around.
The most special thing about these insects is their protruding compound eyes and six extremely long legs.
"This kind of bug is relatively common, but it is troublesome to catch. Recently, creatures in the wild have become more and more aggressive, and many of them have slight mutations."
"Seeing as we are all acquaintances, I'll just charge you four hundred this time."
"Okay, please, Boss Li."
Chen Chu did not counter-offer, and directly transferred four hundred yuan to him, and walked out of the pet store carrying the box and a box of food 'mealworms' given by Boss Li.
This is what Chen Chu prepared for the next evolution of the heavily armored beast.
This is a carnivorous insect called a tiger beetle.
It is most famous for its speed, known as the best in the insect world, and can move a distance of three hundred times its body length in an instant.
After determining that the next evolution goal of the clone was to enhance the speed, Chen Chu checked a lot of relevant information and finally decided on the tiger beetle.
When the time comes, after absorbing the tiger beetle gene, not only will it gain an instant movement speed of three hundred times its body length, even if it is only ten times the speed of the heavily armored beast, it will be a super enhancement.
In fact, Chen Chu had not considered mutant beasts for the third evolution of the clone.
But ordinary mutant beasts are very powerful and have strong defense. They are not as powerful as today's heavy armored beasts of the same size.
And don't even think about those powerful mutant beasts with special abilities. They are not something he can afford or kill now.
In addition, Chen Chu also considered some special creatures, such as tardigrades.
This kind of thing that is said to be a bug but more like a microorganism is called an undead creature. Its vitality is extremely terrifying. It can survive in extreme high and low temperatures and adapt to various environments.
Even if you enter outer space, you can survive through special abilities.
But after carefully reviewing this biological information, Chen Chu gave up.
Because this creature is said to be tenacious and can survive for hundreds of years, it is actually in a state of dehydration and dormancy used to avoid the environment.
This state is similar to suspended animation. You can't do anything. If you encounter an enemy at this time, you can only wait and die.
However, its truly active life cycle is actually only a few weeks, and the claims of immortality are exaggerated.
"Brother, you came back so early today."
After five o'clock, Chen Hu, who came back from school, was surprised to see Chen Chu already at home.
"Well, I have something to do today, so I left early."
As he spoke, Chen Chu called Chen Hu over and pointed to the box on the table: "Xiaohu, remember to help me feed this thing after I go for a trial in a few days."
Chen Hu looked at the tiger beetle on the table curiously and said curiously: "Brother, what kind of insect is this?"
Chen Chu casually found an excuse: "Tiger beetle, my new pet, I just need to throw in a few mealworms every day."
"No problem, brother."
According to the current growth rate of the heavily armored beast, it is expected to reach its third evolution around the end of the month, and he may still be in Koraya at that time.
Therefore, Chen Chu planned to leave the matter of feeding tiger beetles to Chen Hu.
When the clone was about to evolve, he called Chen Hu and asked Chen Hu to go out at night and throw the box containing the tiger beetle into the river.
As for the reason, just find any reason.
After arranging things, Chen Hu took the initiative to cook. This kid has been more and more diligent recently. Seeing this, Chen Chu also took Tiger Beetle upstairs to prepare for training.
What actually happened was that he leaned back in his chair and his consciousness sank.
Suddenly, under the mud of the Taotao River, a black lizard-like head rose up, looking very ferocious against the backdrop of three pairs of red feather horns.
The mud and sand rolled, and a heavily armored beast like a crocodile swam out from the bottom of the river.
During this period, almost regardless of day or night, as long as he felt that the heavy armored beast was almost digested, Chen Chu would be distracted and control it to continue eating.
However, this is an estuary with deep water and wide rivers, and there are also some ferocious fish that can adapt to fresh water, such as mutated white sharks covered with scales and killer whales with horns on their heads.
When faced with mutant fish that were over eight meters in size, the heavily armored beasts would turn around and run away, or sink into the mud at the bottom of the river.
Without knowing the strength of these huge mutant fish, there is no need to fight with them. If you are injured, you will lose more than you gain, which will slow down the speed of evolutionary growth.
More than thirty meters below the surface of the river, the water was turbid, and the heavily armored beast could only vaguely see a range of more than ten meters.
Just as the heavily armored beast wandered around for a while, a black shadow more than three meters long entered its sight in the distance, and the heavy armored beast's eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared with humans, it is easier to judge the strength of mutant beasts in the water. The larger the basic size, the stronger the strength. Only in rare cases will mistakes be made.
For example, the heavily armored beast encountered a two-meter-long mutated fish before. Its body was like a sharp sword and its speed was terrifying.
At that time, it just shot past in an instant, tearing a three-meter-long mutant fish in half, and then encountered a heavily armored beast and was eaten by it.
But the heavily armored beast also paid a price, as the sword-shaped mutant fish cut a wound half a meter long and several millimeters deep on its abdomen.
This is the first time the heavily armored beast has been injured since it evolved. Although the exoskeleton armor on the abdomen was only cut open a little, it still shocked it.
After all, the exoskeleton armor on its abdomen is only two centimeters thick. If the mutant fish were more than ten times stronger, it would be enough to pose a threat to it.
From that day on, Chen Chu became much more cautious.
At this moment, the mutated fish also discovered the heavily armored beast. Due to the size difference between the two sides, it not only did not run away, but took the initiative to approach it.
This is a small mutated shark with gray scales all over its body and a mouth full of sharp teeth.
After discovering the ferocious appearance of the heavily armored beast and its thick and sharp limbs, the mutant fish did not attack immediately, but swam around it cautiously.
Seeing this, the heavily armored beast made a cumbersome look, slowly circling on the spot, contracting its limbs on both sides of its body to make a posture of fear and defense.
Soon, the mutant shark circled the heavily armored beast several times. Without feeling any danger, it swung its tail and suddenly attacked from behind the heavily armored beast.
In just a blink of an eye, it rushed behind the heavily armored beast, opened its sharp mouth wide, and bit hard at the back of the heavily armored beast's head.
At this moment, the seemingly cumbersome heavily armored beast sank suddenly, turned around and appeared under the mutated shark, grabbing its body hard with its four claws.
Tear poof!!
The heavily armored beast's sharp claws tore the mutated shark's scales apart, and it bit down hard as it struggled frantically. The terrifying bite force directly tore a huge bloody hole in its abdomen.
Immediately, blood spurted out, turning the surrounding river water red.
Facing the heavily armored beasts with four limbs, these mutant fish had no chance to break free as long as they were caught. After just a few mouthfuls, the heavily armored beasts tore their stomachs to pieces and bit them to death.
In the water stained red with blood, the black beast began to eat, tearing off large pieces of fish with each bite, making it look more and more ferocious.
