Species Regression: Roosters are Weak? I'm a Regressed Tyrannosaurus Rex

[This is too tragic! The red junglefowl are practically paving the way with their lives!]

Why isn't Shirasu using intervention points?

[Yes, if intervention points had been used, there wouldn't have been so many casualties.]

[I don't understand either. South Korea and Japan have used it, so why hasn't Shirasu used it yet?]

【...】

The reason why Baizhou did not use intervention points is simple and cruel: Baizhou hopes to accelerate the evolution of the Red Junglefowl flock by using the immense pressure from the combined effects of wild dogs and cheetahs.

When things are in dire straits, they must change; change leads to progress; progress leads to longevity. Apart from humans, no living thing can change in a safe environment.

Of course, even humans would find it difficult to do this, let alone the red junglefowl.

If intervention points are applied to the Red Junglefowl flock now, it will reduce the stress on the flock, which means a slower rate of evolution.

Previously, intervention points were used to ensure the survival of the selected species, but now the survival of the Red Junglefowl is no longer a major problem, so the next priority is to find a way to revert the Red Junglefowl to Tyrannosaurus Rex in the shortest possible time.

Tian Guan also expressed his incomprehension regarding Bai Zhou's decision not to use intervention points.

"Is Shirasu not using it, or does he not know how to use it?"

Tian Guan thought that Bai Zhou didn't know where to use the intervention points.

The researcher next to him said, "It seems that Bai Zhou is not unaware of where to use the intervention points."

"It's more like waiting."

"Wait?" Tian Guan asked疑惑地, "Wait for what? Wait for the opportunity to use intervention points?"

"Isn't now the best opportunity?"

Faced with Tian Guan's questions, the researchers had no answer. Apart from Bai Zhou himself, probably no one knew what Bai Zhou was waiting for.

......

Time continued to fly by on the ancient continent; ten thousand years had passed since the last disastrous breakout.

Over the past 100,000 years, the red junglefowl population has faced unprecedented survival pressures due to the constant attacks from wild dogs and cheetahs.

The number of red junglefowl has plummeted from over a thousand to just over two hundred.

The significant decrease in numbers reflects the harshness of their living environment.

The red junglefowl has grown even larger, with adult individuals reaching nearly one meter in height. Its hind limb muscles have developed further, and its running speed has exceeded 40 kilometers per hour.

The beak becomes sharper, with serrated edges, making it able to easily peck through the skin of wild dogs.

Although their wings have not completely degenerated, they are no longer suitable for long-term gliding. Instead, they have evolved into short but powerful "stabilizing wings" to help them maintain stability when running and jumping at high speeds.

Compared to the extent of change in the red junglefowl, the changes in wild dogs and cheetahs over the past 100,000 years are almost negligible.

Without pressure, packs of wild dogs and cheetahs spend their days eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating again.

The only change was that their size had increased again. Shirasu knew very well that this was not a change in the wild dogs and cheetahs in response to their environment, but simply that they had gained weight.

Inside the observation room, Ken Yamamoto and Zhengtai Li looked at the flock of red junglefowl on the screen, their expressions growing increasingly grim.

At first, Ken Yamamoto and Jung-tae Lee were quite happy because the number of chickens was decreasing significantly.

The two estimated that in about 100,000 years, they could completely wipe out the Red Plains Chicken flock.

I originally thought that the Red Junglefowl could be completely eliminated by strengthening it with intervention points, but now it seems that the situation is completely the opposite.

The red junglefowl's evolutionary speed far exceeded their expectations.

"What's wrong with these chickens?!" Ken Yamamoto roared, "They're evolving way too fast!"

Li Zhengtai also looked grave: "If this continues, it will become increasingly difficult for us to hunt wild dogs and cheetahs."

Return to the ancient continent.

Another red junglefowl was bitten by the sharp teeth of a wild dog, and the tremors on its wings became less and less pronounced.

The population of red junglefowl has decreased by one.

Viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream were on tenterhooks:

Why isn't Baizhou intervening in the points system yet? At this rate, the Red Junglefowl will go extinct!

The interference from Japan and South Korea is too harsh.

Has Shirasu gone mad? Watching its own species die?

Is he really waiting for something? But we're already in a desperate situation!

South Korea: Give up now.

[Japan: Just wait, it won't be long before your "Chicken Bro" becomes our cheetah's meal!]

I admit I had faith in Shirasu before, but now... has he given up?

What exactly is Shirasu waiting for? Are they going to save their intervention points for posterity after the species goes extinct?

Inside the observation room, Tian Guan's brows furrowed in worry.

The researcher next to him whispered, "Team leader, how about we try contacting Bai Zhou? Even just a hint would be helpful..."

Participants in the game can contact the outside world, but each country only has one chance.

This makes this opportunity seem extremely valuable, and no one would use it unless absolutely necessary.

Tian Guan remained silent for a moment, then finally shook his head: "All we can do is believe in him."

Time flew by once again on the Ancient Continent, and another 50,000 years had passed since the last breakout.

The Red Junglefowl flock has dwindled to less than one hundred individuals.

The remaining red junglefowl all gathered in one place, a barren land with only scattered low shrubs and jagged rocks.

The red junglefowl leader, covered in wounds, was guarding several hens.

Several eggs were being incubated under the bodies of these hens.

All the offspring of the entire Red Junglefowl flock are here.

The scents of wild dogs and cheetahs drew ever closer, and the red junglefowl leader gave a low warning, causing all the adult red junglefowl to stand nervously behind him.

Just then, an egg began to wobble slightly, and a tiny crack appeared on its shell.

Then, more eggs began to shake, and the sound of their shells cracking was particularly clear in the silent wilderness.

The first chick hatched.

Its feathers are not the pale yellow of ordinary chicks, but a deep bluish-black with a metallic sheen.

It is also larger than a regular chick, and it can stand up unsteadily as soon as it lands.

What's most striking is its beak, or rather, it can't be called a beak anymore, because this chick has almost no beak left.

Instead, it's a mouth and teeth!

Then, a second, a third... more and more chicks hatched.

Without exception, these chicks were all completely different from ordinary chicks.

Their hind limbs are exceptionally thick, their claws are as sharp as knives, and their bodies are covered only with short downy hairs.

The viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream were shocked by what they saw.

What...what is this?

Is this still a chicken? It looks different from the chickens I've seen before.

Bai Zhou nodded slightly upon seeing the newborn cubs, secretly thinking that it was time to use his intervention points.
