Given the size of the Super Giant Crocodile, the Black Hole Bomb was like an insignificant fly that could be easily ignored. However, the moment this unremarkable little black sphere collided with its head, it seemed as though the air throughout the heavens and earth ceased to flow. All matter, including wind, water, light, dust, and more, halted its movement.
Time seemed to freeze. In the next instant, the entire sky suddenly trembled, and a dazzling, intense black light erupted from the black sphere, as if it intended to devour the entire world.
This black light rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire head of the Golden Giant Crocodile.
There was no roar, no explosion. The black sphere covered more than half of the Golden Giant Crocodile's body, resembling a black monstrous mouth swallowing it up.
Roar~!
The Golden Giant Crocodile let out a painful roar from within the dark light sphere.
Chen Chao couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed. This Black Hole Bomb was truly worthy of being a B-grade disposable item. In terms of power, it almost rivaled the strength of an A-grade item. All matter within this black light sphere was rapidly disintegrating, turning into the most primitive particles.
"With this Super Giant Crocodile's constitution, it shouldn't be completely annihilated, right? If a few bones can be left, they can be forged into excellent cold weapons. Moreover, the marrow in the bones can be extracted for experimentation, making its value immeasurable." Chen Chao stared intently at the black light sphere.
A few seconds later, as the dark light sphere gradually shrunk, the scene inside became visible. However, it was completely different from what Chen Chao had imagined. The Super Giant Crocodile... was still alive!
Its entire body was bloody. On its head, its entire upper jaw had been annihilated, revealing the sharp crocodile teeth on its lower jaw and half of its burnt tongue. Its head had suffered severe trauma, with half of its brain missing. Its brains and blood mixed together, flowing down in a rush. One of its left eyes was gone, and its right eye was half-closed, no longer emitting its previous fierce and violent glow, instead filled with pain and fear.
Chen Chao was stunned... It hadn't died?
After all, the destructive power of the Black Hole Bomb was almost comparable to a missile with a nuclear warhead. Even a tank could be annihilated without a trace, yet this flesh-and-blood giant crocodile hadn't been destroyed!
How hard must its bones and muscles be?
It had been less than half a month since the disaster broke out, and this crocodile had grown to such a degree. If it were given a few more months, it might have become an S-grade King Beast. By then, not even tanks or cannons, or even a nuclear bomb capable of destroying a city, would be able to kill it easily, unless it could precisely hit its body!
The Super Giant Crocodile's fierce aura disappeared completely. It looked at Chen Chao in the sky with fear. From this tiny creature, it felt the shadow of death. If another bomb like this were to come, it would surely die. As the ruler that had occupied this zoo, for the first time since it became conscious, it felt fear.
Roar!
It let out a low growl, turned its head, and its huge body, resembling a small mountain, dashed away into the distance at a tremendous speed.
Rumble~!
The ground trembled along its path, like an earthquake. All the trees, houses, and buildings were destroyed as it rapidly disappeared over the horizon.
Watching its retreating figure in flight, Chen Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly. It could still maintain such a fast speed; its vitality was truly terrifying. Even if he chased it, he probably wouldn't be able to kill it. This B-grade Black Hole Bomb had been wasted. If he had known, he would have exchanged it for an A-grade bomb. However, that would likely have left it without a trace, bringing no benefit to him as well.
Looking at the crocodile island that had been devastated, Chen Chao helplessly descended. There were still many ordinary mutated crocodiles on this island. He could collect some interest from them.
As he landed, these ordinary mutated crocodiles immediately smelled his scent and swarmed around him, roaring with their mouths full of sharp teeth open wide. Their intelligence wasn't high, and they hadn't considered that even their leader had been defeated. How could this human be prey for them?
Chen Chao hovered at a height of about seven meters, activating the modified dragon wings behind him.
Puff puff puff...
Piece after piece of steel-like black feathers shot out from the dragon wings, faster than bullets, with extraordinary penetration power. They easily pinned the surrounding mutated crocodiles to the ground!
However, the mutated crocodiles behind continued to charge forward frantically, one after another.
Chen Chao flew through the air, and his modified dragon wings fired sharp black feathers like a machine gun, pinning all the charging mutated crocodiles to the ground along the way.
After circling the crocodile island, there was no one left alive. All the mutated crocodiles had been killed by the black feathers, including a few mutated crocodiles that were two meters tall and one that was twelve meters long, which was clearly much stronger than ordinary mutated crocodiles.
But under the black feathers, there was no difference. They were all pierced through the head by sharp feathers, killed instantly!
Without the modified dragon wings, Chen Chao could have killed them, but it wouldn't have been this easy.
Chen Chao took out his throwing knives and dissected them one by one.
Clusters of white gene energy were collected. Among the larger mutated crocodiles, they had green gene energy inside, and within the twelve-meter-long mutated crocodile, he even found a cluster of dark silver gene energy, which surprised Chen Chao.
He had consumed over two hundred clusters of white gene energy to only double his constitution. On average, one hundred clusters of white gene energy were needed to double his constitution. And when his constitution reached seventeen times, it would likely take over three hundred clusters of white gene energy to increase it to eighteen times!
The harder it became, the more difficult it was to progress.
At this point, the quality difference in gene energy became apparent. He only used eight clusters of green gene energy to reach eighteen times his constitution, and after consuming this cluster of dark silver gene energy, his constitution soared abruptly, strengthening directly from eighteen times to twenty times!
An entire double increase!
This cluster of dark silver gene energy was estimated to be equivalent to ten thousand clusters of white gene energy.
"This feeling of saturation..." Chen Chao clenched his fists. When his constitution reached 20 times, he felt a swelling sensation in his body. This feeling was familiar to him; it was what cells felt after reaching saturation. Once his constitution strengthened again, he would undergo evolution and transformation!
"It seems that the cell saturation level for multiple evolvers should be 20 times. This way, after I evolve to E-grade, my basic constitution will rival that of D-grade special evolvers." Chen Chao muttered to himself, "I wonder how many times my basic constitution will need to be for me to evolve to D-grade."
He stood up and prepared to leave. Just as he flew halfway, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to the middle of the crocodile island yet. He immediately flapped his dragon wings, flew over the murky small lake, and arrived above the crocodile island in the lake.
"Hmm? Golden eggs?"
Just as he flew here, Chen Chao saw a nest of golden crocodile eggs on the lawn at the edge of the island, basking in the sun. There were nine eggs in total, each as tall as two people. The eggshells were like gold-plated, completely different from ordinary stone-gray eggshells.
