"Are these... the eggs of a super crocodile?"
Chen Chao floated down to the nine golden crocodile eggs, and a faint salty and fishy smell hit him. On one of the golden crocodile eggs, there were still a few tiny blood streaks sticking to it, clearly indicating that it had just been laid not long ago.
"Eggs of gold quality?" Chen Chao carefully inspected them and found that there was no trace of impurity on the eggshells; they were all golden in color. His heartbeat quickened. Such pure gold eggs, if hatched, would definitely be gold creatures!
Every gold creature possesses immense growth potential and can grow without limits, provided they have enough resources.
Chen Chao didn't plan to cultivate a gold creature because he couldn't afford it. Even this super crocodile could only be considered to be in its youthful growth stage, far from reaching adulthood, yet it consumed at least a ton of food every day. And as for adult gold creatures... they could eat an entire mountain in a day!
Chen Chao didn't want to be dragged down by it. He was tempted because these gold creatures possessed pure gold blood!
For any evolver, gold blood is irresistibly attractive. It can not only enhance cellular growth potential but also modify genes and improve genetic levels!
To become stronger, besides strengthening one's basic constitution and evolving cells, another method is to upgrade one's genetic level.
In some prehistoric ruins, there are relics that can slightly enhance genetic levels, but the effect is not very significant. Even so, they still cause strong competition and even robbery among powerful individuals.
And gold blood is currently known to be the best thing for enhancing genes!
How much could the gold blood from these nine crocodile eggs transform his genes?
Swish!
Chen Chao immediately opened his dimensional space and quickly stored the golden crocodile eggs inside, then flew away from the crocodile island with his dragon wings.
Shortly after he left, the ground of the crocodile island began to tremble, and the murky lake water rippled. Soon, a huge creature rushed over from the distance. It was the super crocodile that had fled in a panic!
At this moment, there was no blood flowing from its head, and the wound had scabbed over. Although it looked pitiful, its speed was still swift. It crossed the lake and rushed straight to the crocodile island in the middle of the lake. When it saw that the nest of golden crocodile eggs on the lawn was gone, it immediately roared skyward, its voice filled with sorrow.
...
Chen Chao fluttered his dragon wings and flew outside the zoo. He saw the golden dog lying on a decaying carcass nearby, gnawing on its internals.
Chen Chao landed beside it and folded his dragon wings. After such a long period of expenditure, he could feel that the energy stored inside was running low and needed some time to recharge with light before he could use them again.
The golden dog heard the sound of the wind and immediately looked up with caution. When it saw Chen Chao, it quickly jumped off the decaying carcass and frictionally groveled against his trousers.
Chen Chao kicked it away impatiently and said, "Wipe your body clean."
The golden dog turned around in distress and walked over to the green belt on one side, rubbing the thick rotten flesh stuck to the golden fur on its chest before returning to Chen Chao's side in a small run.
Chen Chao took it and rushed back.
After arriving at the temporary residence where Lin Shiyu was staying, Chen Chao instructed the two women not to disturb him and entered his room.
He closed the door.
Chen Chao couldn't wait to open his dimensional space and take out a golden crocodile egg.
The two-meter-tall golden giant egg landed on the bed, and its weight of several hundred pounds made the soft bed sink down. Chen Chao immediately activated his modified dragon wings, and the sharp black feathers at the front of the wings enclosed the top ninth part of the golden giant egg and drew a circle around it!
Crack!
As the black feathers drew across, the golden eggshell, which was probably half as hard as steel, gently cracked open, spilling out thick golden liquid filled with an exotic fragrance and a faint fishy smell.
Chen Chao lifted the upper elliptical part of the eggshell that he had cut open and saw that the inside of the golden crocodile egg was filled with thick golden liquid, somewhat like beaten egg yolks. It hadn't yet formed, and a small golden crocodile hadn't been gestated.
Chen Chao's eyes glowed with enthusiasm. He had only heard of gold blood in his previous life; he had never seen it before. This was his first experience in two lifetimes!
He quickly undressed and climbed onto the top of the golden crocodile egg, sinking into the gap in the cut eggshell. With the addition of his body, the thick golden liquid inside was immediately squeezed out a little.
It was icy cold!
This thick gold blood was like ice water, cold and silky, penetrating into his body as if it had a life of its own, drilling into his pores autonomously.
With the penetration of the gold blood, Chen Chao immediately felt his body become fiery and burning, as if a flame was burning in his chest. His bones and flesh turned into fuel for the flame, burning every inch of his flesh and blood.
Such pain was nothing to Chen Chao, who had experienced an S-level pain index. He could easily endure it without even blinking.
Suddenly, Chen Chao felt something slippery collide with his abdomen. He was slightly startled and reached out to grab it, finding that it was a ball of golden flesh and blood, about the size of a fist. It should be the unformed small golden crocodile, with its head and body not yet distinguishable, and it couldn't even be called a life form.
Chen Chao directly stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it raw. It tasted a bit fishy, similar to raw fish.
After more than ten minutes, Chen Chao noticed that the gold blood inside the crocodile egg had unknowingly decreased by a few centimeters, seemingly digested by his body.
The burning sensation in his body continued, with a pain index of at least 20 points or more, equivalent to twice the pain of childbirth for a woman. An ordinary person would have fainted from the pain long ago.
Chen Chao's expression remained calm as he focused his consciousness and carefully felt the changes within his body.
Under the transformation of the gold blood, his bones, blood, muscle fibers, and even the skin on the surface were all burning and undergoing subtle transformations, becoming more resilient, smooth, and pale, as if a layer of skin had been shed.
Time passed, and eight hours went by.
It was already around 10 PM, and the city outside the window was pitch black, with the streetlights all off. Chen Chao was still standing inside the crocodile egg. At this moment, the gold blood inside the egg had completely dried up, all absorbed by Chen Chao. His body hadn't swelled up; it was still the same as before, but he looked even leaner.
"Could all this gold blood have burned up inside me?" Chen Chao touched his arm, feeling incredible.
He checked his body and found that his constitution hadn't improved, still at 20 times, but the previous feeling of cellular saturation had disappeared, indicating that his cellular growth potential had increased and could now withstand several more times his basic constitution before evolving and transforming again.
In addition, a cold airflow had appeared inside his body, hovering around his abdomen.
Chen Chao tried to control it, expecting it to be difficult, but with a single thought, the cold airflow flowed to his palm along with his mind.
In an instant, the skin on his palm turned golden!
