Prehistoric? Choose the crocodile and survive until version T0.

The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room was instantly ignited by this enhancement!

"That was so cool! Lin Ye's move was simply divine!"

"147 ratings! 22nd place! This data is terrifying!"

"Who would have thought that a T4 Origin Crocodile would now be approaching the combat strength of many T1 players!"

Chen Guoan stood up excitedly in the commentary booth, his hands slamming on the table. "Perfect! This is exactly what we wanted! This is practically a meticulously planned murder!"

The whole country rejoiced.

As Lin Ye's survival score surpassed 140, the Dragon Kingdom's national fortune value soared once again, jumping directly to 13th place globally!

Domestic indicators have been comprehensively optimized, with grain output, industrial efficiency, and public health all showing continuous improvement, presenting a thriving picture.

Conversely, the atmosphere in overseas live-streaming rooms plummeted to freezing point.

In the live stream of the American country, Carter looked at Lin Ye's name on the leaderboard, and for the first time, a crack appeared in his previously arrogant expression.

Although he remains firmly in the top three, this rising Chinese player is already posing a potential threat to his position.

"Impossible... How could a mere T4 Primordial Crocodile achieve this level of power?"

"Lord Satono, hurry and take action! Kill this Chinese player!"

"They definitely cheated! Yes, they must have cheated!"

The overseas audience roared in frustration, but their confidence had long since vanished.

The Japanese player, Sato, had a gloomy expression as he stared at Lin Ye's name on the panel, his eyes surging with killing intent.

He originally thought he could easily eliminate this hidden danger, but he did not expect the other party to grow so rapidly that it has now reached a point where he can no longer easily shake it.

Players like Park Jun-ho and Hans have also listed Lin Ye as a key target for defense. This Chinese player, whom they once trampled underfoot, has now reached a height that they can no longer ignore.

Global paleontological research institutions have also urgently adjusted their research directions, focusing their efforts on analyzing the evolutionary potential of the Eurasian crocodilian species and the fighting style of Lin Ye.

They realized that crocodiles were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

On the shallows.

Lin Ye finished his meal without lingering, for he knew that new opportunities were beckoning him.

Not far away, on the edge of the shallows, a lone adult Protosaurus was wandering aimlessly, seemingly surveying its territory.

Adult Protosaurus can reach 1.5 meters in length and possess considerable fighting power. It is a typical medium-sized predator and has a certain deterrent effect in swamps.

For other players, this is a tough opponent that needs to be dealt with carefully.

But for Lin Ye now, this is a perfect opportunity for trial, the best target to test the results of the new enhancement.

Lin Ye slowly stood up from the mud. His strengthened limbs were steady and powerful, and the scales on his body gleamed with a cold luster. His primary bite force was ready to be unleashed between his jaws.

Instead of launching a rash ambush, he used the speed advantage brought by his enhanced physique to silently circle around to the side and rear of the adult Protocanthodian.

A brand new hunt is about to begin.

This time, he wasn't aiming for an evolutionary point, but rather to prove just how far this T4 primordiosaurus could go.

The Triassic swamps were fraught with danger, but in Lin Ye's heart, there was only conquest.

He slowly approached, the distance between him and the adult Protocanthodian was constantly decreasing.

The other party seemed to sense something was wrong, turned around abruptly, its small eyes flashing with ferocity, opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and let out a threatening growl.

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed, and without stopping, he launched a sprint!

He instantly closed the distance!

Just a second before the adult Protosaurus launched its attack, Lin Ye dodged to the side, and at the same time, he brought all the strength in his body to his jaws and bit down hard on its neck!

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless!

[System Notification: Player Lin Ye has successfully inflicted fatal damage on an adult Protocanthosuchus!]

[Survival score +15, evolution points +131!]

A crisp snapping sound rang out, and the powerful bite force instantly pierced through the flesh and spine of the adult Protocanthodian, delivering a fatal blow!

Clean, efficient, and done in one go!

The Dragon Kingdom's live stream room erupted in deafening cheers once again!

"Killed! Instantly killed an adult Protocanthosuchus!"

"That bite force is incredible! So cool!"

"Our Chinese athletes are too strong!"

Chen Guoan was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "A perfect battle! The ambush, the evasion, the counterattack, the kill—every step was impeccable! Lin Ye proved with his strength that his choice was right!"

Zhang Lei was also filled with emotion: "He has completely unleashed the potential of the crocodile."

Lin Ye dragged the carcass of his prey back to a safe area and began to enjoy the hard-won feast of victory.

The midday sun grew increasingly intense, causing the moisture from the Triassic swamp to rise and transform into a thin layer of mist that enveloped the shallows and jungle.

The stench of blood drifted slowly with the flowing water, indicating that a brutal hunt had just ended here.

Lin Ye lay on the mud, quietly munching on the carcass of an adult Protosaurus Rex.

[Host: Linye]

[Species: Protosuchus (T4)]

[Status: Unharmed, Peak Physical Performance]

Survival Rating: 162/100

Global Ranking: 19/203

Evolutionary point: 131

[Racial Traits: Low-Speed ​​Self-Healing, Mud Concealment, Crocodile Instinct, Basic Scale Armor, Scale Scratching, Basic Bite Force Enhancement]

The system panel has been refreshed, and the ranking has completely surged into the top 20 globally!

From being at the bottom of the rankings to rising to the ranks of top players, Lin Ye only needed a few days to carve out his own place in the perilous prehistoric swamp, relying on the body of a T4 crocodile that was despised by the world.

131 evolution points were enough to exchange for the next stage of enhanced skills, but Lin Ye was in no hurry to do so.

He knew very well that the swamp was fraught with danger, and the territory of the top predators was within reach. Rashly exchanging for enhancements and distracting himself could easily lead to his death.

The most crucial task at present is to find an absolutely safe base of operations to consolidate existing strength before planning future developments.

Lin Ye raised his eyes, his cold, vertical pupils scanning the surroundings before finally fixing his gaze on a natural mud cave at the end of the shallows, surrounded by the roots of giant ferns.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, allowing only creatures of his size to enter and exit. The interior is spacious and extremely well-hidden, making it an excellent temporary nest.

Without further hesitation, he dragged his unfinished prey, lowered his body, and slithered quickly along the muddy path, using the seaweed and mud pits for cover throughout, without stirring up a single splash or revealing any trace of his presence.

In a short while, they successfully reached the mud cave. After dragging the prey inside, Lin Ye quickly sealed the entrance, leaving only a tiny ventilation gap to completely isolate them from the outside world and allow them to rest.

Meanwhile, the global live streaming platforms outside the city had already stirred up an unprecedented storm of public opinion due to Lin Ye's incredible performance!

Inside the Dragon Kingdom's live stream, cheers from hundreds of millions of viewers resounded across the entire internet, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly like a tsunami. Everyone was filled with excitement and pride, completely immersed in the joy of their comeback.

"Top 20 globally! They've really broken into the top 20!"

"To instantly kill an adult Protocanthodian, that strength is absolutely explosive!"

"Who dares to say that the Primordial Crocodile is a Tier 4 trash? Lin Ye has convinced everyone with his strength!"

"We've got it! We've finally got our revenge!"

From initial despair and condemnation to current nationwide adoration, Lin Ye has completely reversed everyone's perceptions with a series of flawless battles, becoming the undisputed national hero of the Dragon Kingdom.

Inside the official commentary hall, experts such as Chen Guoan and Zhang Lei could not hide their excitement; their faces were flushed, and their words were filled with awe and admiration.

"Top 20 globally—this is an unprecedented achievement for China! Lin Ye has made history!" Chen Guoan clenched his fist, his voice resounding. "He proved with his actions that true strength doesn't depend on initial talent, but on ultimate survival wisdom and an unwavering belief!"

"He has fully explored the potential of the crocodile. From ambushes and escapes to head-on kills, he has mastered all the essentials of crocodile survival. If he continues like this, breaking into the top ten in the world, or even reaching the top spot, is just around the corner!" Zhang Lei continued, his eyes full of confidence.

With Lin Ye's ranking entering the top 20, the Dragon Kingdom's national fortune value has surged, directly jumping to 8th place in the world!

Domestic welfare has been fully maximized, natural disasters have been completely eradicated, food and resource reserves have doubled, and the physical and intellectual abilities of the entire population have slightly improved. The whole country is showing an unprecedented level of prosperity, and the whole nation is jubilant. The trust and respect of the people for the forest and the wild have reached their peak.

In stark contrast, there was a deathly silence and panic in other countries.

The overseas audience who had once mocked Lin Ye and belittled China were now speechless. Looking at the name "Lin Ye" on the global player rankings, they felt only deep fear and unease.

They can no longer describe this comeback as "luck." A T4 player who can instantly kill medium-sized predators and consistently rank among the top 20 globally has long become a top powerhouse that cannot be ignored.

American player Carter, controlling an early T0 carnivorous dinosaur, dominates a vast land territory and consistently ranks third on the global player leaderboard, making him a recognized favorite to win the championship.

Previously, he had looked down on Lin Ye and didn't take this T4 crocodile seriously at all. But now, seeing Lin Ye's ranking and combat power soaring, a look of seriousness finally appeared in his cold eyes, and even a hint of barely perceptible hostility.

In his mind, only top-tier predators of the T0 level were qualified to contend with him, and Lin Ye, with a weak crocodile, had caught up to the top 20 in the world in just a few days, threatening his dominant position.

Carter stopped hunting and issued a chilling warning to the global players' public channel: "You crocodile from the Dragon Kingdom, don't let me run into you in the swamp."

A simple sentence, yet it conveyed a strong sense of murderous intent, instantly igniting global public opinion.

The American audience erupted in cheers, clamoring for Carter to take action and eliminate Lin Ye, this potential threat.

Japanese player Sato and South Korean player Park Jun-ho were both deathly pale, their eyes burning with murderous intent.

Their ranking has now been overtaken by Lin Ye. Their past contempt and ridicule have now turned into a slap in the face.

The two secretly conspired and stealthily made their way towards the swamp area where Lin Ye was located, attempting to join forces to encircle and eliminate this Dragon Kingdom contestant who had made a remarkable comeback, so that he would never have the opportunity to become stronger.

Top athletes such as German athlete Hans and English athlete Arthur also turned their attention to the swamp area, becoming extremely wary of Lin Ye.

In an instant, the eyes of the world's top players were all focused on Lin Ye, and undercurrents surged, filled with murderous intent.

Everyone knows that this T4 crocodile, which rose from humble beginnings, has become the biggest variable in this prehistoric national fortune season. If it is allowed to continue to grow, it will surely shake the existing rankings and even rewrite the global national fortune landscape.

Major global powers and top research institutions have all mobilized to monitor Lin Ye's movements and frantically study the evolutionary path of the primordial crocodile in an attempt to find a way to contain him.

Inside the mud cave, Lin Ye could neither hear the outside world's opinions nor sense the approaching killing intent. However, relying on his crocodile instincts, he clearly felt the increasingly tense atmosphere in the air.

He didn't slack off at all and quickly finished digesting his prey.

He knew that while making it into the top 20 globally was an honor, it also meant that he would become a thorn in the side of all the top players, and the road to survival ahead would be even more dangerous.

The threat from other players is far more terrifying than that from prehistoric creatures. They possess intelligence, are stronger primitive species, and are better at teaming up to encircle and exterminate their prey.

But Lin Ye never felt a shred of fear.

From the moment he chose the T4 Crocodile, he was destined to go against the tide.

He can evade the dangers of prehistoric creatures; he can also break through the encirclement of top players!

His goal has never been to be in the top 20 globally, but to reach the top of the season standings, to protect the fate of the Dragon Kingdom with the demeanor of a crocodile god, and to make all those who despise or are hostile to him grovel at his feet!

Lin Ye slowly moved his body to the crack at the cave entrance, his vertical pupils scanning the swamp outside the cave through the crack.

……

The swamp mist gradually dissipated, and the afternoon sun shone through the fern canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The seemingly calm shallows were already teeming with undercurrents and lurking dangers.

Inside the mud cave, Lin Ye's entire body was tense, his vertical pupils peering through the cracks in the cave entrance, intently watching every move outside.

Crocodiles' innate sense of danger constantly warns of danger, and the air is filled with a strange and intense hostility that no prehistoric creature could possibly exude.

[Danger Warning: Two highly intelligent individuals have been detected approaching, within 50 meters, with maximum hostility!]

[Threat Level: Extremely High! Immediate relocation recommended!]

The system alarm suddenly rang in his mind, and Lin Ye's eyes darkened abruptly.

Player hunt!

In this prehistoric arena of national destiny, the battles between contestants are far more brutal than those between ferocious beasts. Once defeated, not only will the individual perish, but the fate of the entire nation will also plummet, bringing about annihilation.

He remained calm, quickly concealing his aura while slowly shifting his body, preparing to break through at any moment.

A moment later, two figures slowly appeared in sight, their steps steady and their aura fierce, heading straight towards the mud cave.

On the left is a massive, prehistoric monitor lizard covered in thick, hard armor, with thick limbs, sharp claws, and drool dripping from its mouth—it is none other than Sato No, the contestant from the island nation!

On the right is a lithe and fierce prehistoric theropod dinosaur with exposed fangs and incredible speed; it is none other than Park Jun-ho, the South Korean contestant!

Both contestants control powerful species and are ranked among the top 25 globally, possessing formidable strength. This time, they have joined forces, aiming directly at Lin Ye!

Following the scent, they tracked Lin Ye's movements and quickly located his hiding place, their eyes filled with murderous intent and greed.

Eliminating Lin Ye would not only remove a major threat, but also plunder his survival points and evolutionary opportunities, achieving two goals at once.
