Half a month after Lu Chen returned to the primeval jungle of Madura, he finally underwent another evolution.

Everything proceeded calmly, without a single unexpected incident.

Thanks to the high-quality flesh he consumed, Lu Chen’s body length was increasing slowly, but his weight continued to soar.

If this had been Blue Star before the Great Transformation, his current weight alone would have crushed every terrestrial creature.

And even that was not the limit.

Lu Chen could feel that his weight was expanding like a snowball, accelerating with every passing moment.

Reaching a weight of more than a hundred tons in the future was not impossible.

He was also deeply grateful for the existence of the alternate dimension, which could continuously provide an ample supply of food. Otherwise, with his current weight, he would need to consume nearly five hundred kilograms of food in a single meal. The entire Madura jungle would be unable to support him, let alone Big Russian and Black Spot.

As for the newly acquired mutation ability, Inner Space, Lu Chen carefully sensed it, and a hint of delight appeared on his face.

As expected, anything involving the laws of spatial energy was extraordinary.

At that moment, it was as though an additional organ had appeared inside his body, measuring more than a hundred cubic meters.

It could neither be seen nor touched, yet it existed with absolute certainty.

This was the Inner Space mutation ability. According to the system panel, it could be used to store objects.

If he had possessed this ability a few days earlier, he could have placed the spirit stones directly inside it instead of swallowing the entire chest into his stomach.

For a time, Lu Chen could not think of a way to make full use of it. At most, he could store food or spirit stones… He did not know whether it could store living creatures.

With that thought, he immediately caught several fish and a wild boar to conduct an experiment. He also gathered several plants.

Lu Chen released the laws of spatial energy, infused the space with his spiritual sense, and then touched the objects he intended to transfer with his claws.

A vortex appeared before him. The wild boar, fish, and plants vanished abruptly in the next instant.

Immediately afterward, he sensed that many things had appeared inside the Inner Space.

After waiting for a moment, he retrieved the objects he had placed within.

The plants were completely crushed, while the fish had become a mass of bloody minced flesh. Although the wild boar’s body was mangled and covered in blood, it still retained the faintest trace of life.

It seemed that, much like Little Sister Crocodile’s supernatural ability, objects had to possess sufficient durability to pass through different spaces. Otherwise, they would be crushed to pieces by the laws of space.

Therefore, it was fine to store food or spirit stones under ordinary circumstances, but living creatures were most likely out of the question. Perhaps Black Spot and Boss Crocodile would have bodies strong enough to withstand it, but Lu Chen did not dare attempt the experiment.

Most importantly, he did not know whether oxygen existed inside the Inner Space.

The next moment, another thought occurred to Lu Chen.

Perhaps he could store some swamp mud inside it and retrieve it whenever he needed to use it.

After all, during a battle, there was no guarantee that a swamp would happen to be nearby. Without one, casting Mire of the Earth would consume a tremendous amount of energy.

Once he had made up his mind, Lu Chen immediately went to the riverbank and placed his claws into the swampy muck.

With a tremendous rush of sound, as if a dragon were inhaling the sea—

In the blink of an eye, a huge pit had been gouged out of the swamp.

Meanwhile, the Inner Space had gained more than ten tons of mud.

Lu Chen did not take more than necessary. Once he felt that the amount was sufficient, he immediately stopped.

***

Now that he had officially become a Tier Six ferocious beast, Lu Chen could finally begin implementing his plan to establish a crocodile civilization.

Next, he led Boss Crocodile and the others out of the waterfall alternate dimension once more, charging majestically down the river toward its mouth.

As before, the crocodiles along the way sensed the terrifying aura of their own kind and promptly submitted.

This time, however, Lu Chen did not simply let them go.

Instead, he summoned them before him and engaged them in a cordial and friendly conversation, presenting the facts and reasoning with them.

When the estuarine crocodiles heard that Lu Chen intended to establish a crocodile civilization, they became intensely excited. Several of the larger and more powerful crocodiles even became so overwhelmed that they died on the spot.

Lu Chen had originally assumed that there were no more than a few thousand estuarine crocodiles throughout the entire Madura primeval jungle.

He had never imagined that their numbers would far exceed his expectations.

In only three days, more than ten thousand crocodiles were following behind him, forming a massive animal army.

Under Lu Chen’s leadership, they advanced in an imposing procession toward the waterfall alternate dimension.

Such a tremendous movement naturally attracted the attention of satellites high above.

The news soon spread, causing an enormous stir across Blue Star’s internet.

In truth, with ferocious beasts emerging everywhere, humanity had become extremely sensitive. The slightest disturbance was enough to draw widespread attention.

Even Dong Mingjun was alarmed and hurriedly contacted Lu Chen through the communicator to ask what was happening.

Lu Chen made no attempt to conceal the truth. He simply said that he intended to lead the crocodiles in migrating into the alternate dimension.

Upon hearing this, Dong Mingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether in his previous life or on Blue Star, the signs generally regarded as marking the birth of a civilization centered on three things: large-scale settlements, written language, and metal tools.

For Lu Chen, however, designing a writing system belonging to the crocodile race was temporarily beyond his abilities.

Unifying the crocodile language was something he could barely accomplish.

Estuarine crocodiles mainly relied on sounds, postures, movements, scents, and physical contact to transmit information to their kind.

Among these, sound played the dominant role in their daily communication.

For example, when attacked by a natural enemy, they would produce a cry resembling, “Wahh… hiss… wahh… hiss…” from deep in their throats. Through it, they would threaten the enemy or call for assistance from their fellows.

During the breeding season, they would also sing loudly to send out mating signals.

However, this form of vocal communication was extremely primitive and simple, incapable of conveying overly complex information.

Furthermore, the calls of different estuarine crocodile groups varied considerably.

It was much like people from the south and north speaking to each other in their respective dialects. Although they were clearly using the same language, they often had difficulty understanding what the other party was trying to express.

The estuarine crocodiles that had already awakened their intelligence were different. They had long since learned to express more complex meanings through variations in the pitch and speed of their voices, and they could also more easily understand the information conveyed by their companions.

Therefore, the first step for Lu Chen was to unify the crocodile language, enabling smooth communication among them.

In fact, the fastest method would be to have all these creatures swallow spirit stones.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen’s current supply of spirit stones was limited, making that plan impossible to carry out.

He intended to divide these fellow crocodiles into different tribes, select several physically powerful estuarine crocodiles to serve as leaders, and bestow spirit stones upon them.

This would both increase their strength and foster a sense of belonging.

After all, the crocodiles had only submitted because of his overwhelming pressure. If he wanted them to give him their wholehearted allegiance, the best approach was to give them a slap and then offer them a sweet date.
