It had been five days since the killing of the monitor lizard's blood relative.
It has been more than a month since Chen Jing came to Qixing.
He has changed quite a bit now from the way he looked when he first came to Qixing.
After the hard horns changed from keratin horns to bone horns, they were once again covered with a layer of strong scales, and their hardness increased almost in a straight line.
The horns were covered with armor, and the head was naturally covered with scales.
Start from the forehead, cover the cheeks, and extend to the neck.
Chen Jing's entire head was almost covered with a layer of armor.
At the same time, black scales also grew on his body to varying degrees.
It extends from the neck to the entire chest, back and sides. Only the abdomen has not grown out yet.
But there are already shallow traces.
Chen Jing's two arms, including his sharp claws, were completely covered.
But of the legs, only the feet have scales. I probably won't hurt myself the next time I kick.
The appearance of scales made Chen Jing's skin appear very strong, and all the pores originally used for breathing had disappeared. Except for the epidermis that has not yet been completely covered by scales, the rest of the body can no longer breathe through the skin.
This also means that Chen Jing's breathing efficiency is greatly reduced.
So he evolved lungs again.
The lung growth evolutionary equation provided by the monitor lizard blood relatives allowed Chen Jing's originally not too big lungs to grow by half again.
This ensured that the oxygen stored in the lungs could be consumed violently by Chen Jing.
This kind of consumption is at least three minutes of running without breathing.
After that, Chen Jing used the bone and muscle evolution equations provided by the monitor lizard's blood relatives on his body, and he increased his height by a full 30 centimeters.
Chen Jing has not evolved claws, and those thick, long but curved claws are not suitable for him.
The current sharp claws are enough because the exposed skin is covered with scales. Chen Jing's sharp claws were already long and he could no longer make a fist.
Poison glands have not evolved either.
Chen Jing felt that in this elementary school-level environment, his brain was much more useful than his fangs.
There is no need to waste evolutionary qualities anymore.
In addition to evolving himself, Chen Jing did not do anything.
In five days, he ate everything around the Gaoqi volcano.
Yes, just eat it all.
All the creatures he met, whether animals or plants, he ate one of them.
Unfortunately, no heat-resistant cells appeared.
Chen Jing was not surprised.
After all, the probability of heat-resistant cells appearing in large animals is very low, and as for plants, Chen Jing did not have any hope for them.
It would be great if heat-resistant cells could be extracted from fungi.
For this idea, Chen Jing showed off a lot of fungi in the mansion, relying on safety and immortality.
It can be said that life was very abstract at that time.
Although he found so many creatures and ate a lot, there was no trace of the natural hot spring that Chen Jing wanted to find most.
They are all dug out by hand.
The hot springs are most likely underground.
Chen Jing also climbed the main body of the volcano, but he did not dare to climb too high for fear that an eruption would take him away.
The wonderful thing about biology is that compared to ordinary soil, Chen Jing found a plant on a volcano with extremely high temperature.
But the plant was still a bare pole.
Chen Jing learned from books in the town that this was a plant translated as Nodila, which means son of flame.
It only grows on active volcanoes. It grows in 49 years and blooms in the 50th year.
The amazing thing is that it grows on volcanoes and can be found in the same place after every volcanic eruption!
Then Chen Jing ate it, all the way up.
Nothing.
Maybe it's because there are no flowers.
Chen Jing had no idea of waiting for it to bloom. After waiting for 49 years, the Gaoqi volcano erupted, and we still have to wait.
I really don’t know how lucky the guy who first recorded the blooming of this flower was, or how strong his perseverance was.
The surrounding area of Gaoqi Volcano is not barren, only the main body of the volcano is barren.
Although Gaoqi volcano is an active volcano, its eruption volume in the past century has not been large. It is not a fatal threat to the surrounding creatures at all.
Even Qixing people used volcanic ash to open up a lot of farmland at the foot of Gaoqi Volcano.
Natural hot springs are used by them to make a fortune.
Regarding natural resources, most human beings have the attitude that as long as they can't use them up, they will use them until they die.
When they were really running out, they shouted to save resources.
Shit!
No matter how much you save, it's better to steal from others.
Anyway, this is how Qixing people have always done it. I'll grab it when it's gone. It's shameless, and I'll grab it if it's not finished.
As long as I'm not hungry myself.
Due to geographical reasons, these green-haired people are born to be good at this business.
If you run out of water, grab someone else’s. If you run out of mines, just grab other people's mines.
The inland areas rob the inland water, and the coastal areas rob the inland minerals.
Return to Chen Jing.
As usual, today is another day to go around the volcano.
The most common creature around Gaoqi volcano is a creature that looks like an antelope.
Because Qixing did not have such a name, Chen Jing renamed it Giant Antelope.
Because it's really too big.
A giant antelope is as big as a moose.
Show it off, the kind with horns.
Several giant antelope groups around Gaoqi Volcano are now very familiar with Chen Jing.
After all, the guy who shows them off right away can’t be a good guy.
The key is that this thing also shows off its natural enemies!
Apart from Chen Jing, the only people in Gaoqi Volcano that can prey on giant antelopes are the saber-toothed wolves.
As soon as you hear the name, you know that the evolutionary equation these guys can provide is the two large saber teeth.
Tiger teeth are so cute, but saber teeth have to be extracted.
Chen Jing stopped eating saber-toothed wolves after catching them several times.
Because saber-toothed wolves lack certain bacteria in their digestive systems, they eat poop!
What we eat is the dung of giant antelopes...
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that saber-toothed wolves hunt giant antelopes to eat shit.
Ever since Chen Jing saw this guy fighting to show off his shit, he no longer had any appetite.
In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can find that not all saber-toothed wolves eat poop.
Only those wolves with a low status in the pack eat shit and will fight over a piece of shit.
Wolf King eats directly from the digestive tract.
There are many more bacteria in the digestive tract than in feces.
The remaining digestive tracts eaten by the wolf king are either given to wolves with high status, or taken back by the wolf pack and fed to the cubs.
A giant antelope only had a small portion of its digestive tract, and it was gone after everyone had divided it. Those who don’t get a share can only show off their shit.
Perhaps the original thought of every saber-toothed wolf king, apart from reproducing offspring, is not to eat shit.
The saber-toothed wolves escaped the genocide because they ate shit.
But the giant antelope is not so lucky.
Chen Jing had two giant antelopes every day as usual, eating more than a saber-toothed wolf.
After eating, we climbed the mountain to find water.
As I said before, arriving at the Gaoqi volcano means that the plains have come to an end, and then there are mountains.
Not even a plateau.
The rolling mountains isolate the inland and the coast.
Finding water or hot springs in the mountains is much more difficult than Chen Jing thought.
Even if there is bioradar, what can be done if the hot springs are not exposed?
He had read all the hot spring distribution maps in the town, but he couldn't figure out where these hot springs came from.
Specialties are restricted.
There are not many geological events that finance can encounter, such as a stock market crash.
