31: Alligator Gar

Su Yuan's tentacles now naturally exceeded five meters in length, making him a big boss among giant pythons.

The world record for the largest python, an Anaconda, was only 6.28 meters.

Of course, the world's longest snake is the Reticulated Python, with reliable scientific records of individuals exceeding seven meters.

(Data from the internet; please don't take web novels too seriously.)

However, Su Yuan's weight absolutely surpassed that of a Reticulated Python.

His muscles were strong and powerful; the thickest part of his tentacles even surpassed an Anaconda of the same length, let alone a Reticulated Python.

He had eight such tentacles, and with the combined effect of powerful muscle strength and suckers, their constricting power even exceeded that of a python of the same size!

However, this crab's carapace was surprisingly hard and actually withstood this force.

Su Yuan's thoughts stirred, and his seven-centimeter long Claws popped out, piercing through the large crab's carapace and embedding themselves inside with only a slight resistance.

"Secret Art, Thousand Cuts!" Su Yuan thought to himself.

His eight tentacles coiled and shredded simultaneously, instantly cutting the crab shell into tiny pieces that fell off, revealing the tender meat inside.

Naturally, this giant Hairy Crab was dead beyond dead.

Su Yuan wrapped it up and took a small bite; it was incredibly delicious and perfectly suited an octopus's taste.

This time, Su Yuan did not eat quickly but savored it as a delicacy, taking small bites.

Yet, even so, given Su Yuan's current size, he finished it very quickly.

You devoured a Chinese Mitten Crab and gained 10 evolution points.

evolution points: 22.5 / 700 (Devouring spiritual energy increasing)

"Hmm, my evolution points increased by 2 yesterday."

Su Yuan was surprised. Could it be because of his Transmigration through Dayang Lake?

"Perfect, I'll test it today."

To confirm his guess, Su Yuan immediately entered Dayang Lake again.

Upon entering Dayang Lake, schools of fish, much denser and larger, came into view.

"New evolution has appeared, how can I stand still..."

Su Yuan hummed a song as he charged towards the fish school, his eight tentacles sweeping out like giant pythons, instantly grabbing eight large fish.

For this auspicious start, it had to be big fish.

These plump, large fish all far exceeded one meter, approaching two meters in length; even an adult man underwater would be helpless against them.

Su Yuan's eight tentacles, however, easily subdued them, beginning his journey of devouring and evolution.

You devoured a Carp and gained 10 evolution points.

You devoured a Yellow Catfish and gained 3 evolution points.

You devoured a Black Carp and gained 25 evolution points.

...The auspicious start brought Su Yuan a total of eighty evolution points. Adding the Hairy Crab from breakfast, he gained ninety evolution points in a short time!

This speed far surpassed his usual pace!

"As expected of Dayang Lake, my hypothesized spiritual energy concentration point!"

Su Yuan plunged into the middle layer of the water, where there were too many fish, and he wasn't the only predator.

A Reeves Shad over three meters long was hunting here, and an Eel three meters long had also entered the middle layer, along with Mandarin Fish over two meters long, Snakehead Fish over three meters long, Black Carp over three meters long, and so on.

But with Su Yuan's arrival, these predators scattered.

Now, Su Yuan was already showing the demeanor of an aquatic king.

A two-meter-long soft-shelled turtle, noticeably the slowest, fell behind and was entangled by one of Su Yuan's tentacles.

It fiercely stretched its neck, trying to bite Su Yuan's tentacle.

Those who have been bitten know that soft-shelled turtles don't let go, especially one this large; its biting force would definitely be astonishing.

But Su Yuan's movements were faster; his tentacle moved like a Water Snake, instantly binding its neck firmly to its shell.

The seven-centimeter long Claws went to work, severing its thick, seven-centimeter-plus neck in a few strokes, and blood flowed out.

"I must be the first person or octopus in the world to eat such a large soft-shelled turtle."

Su Yuan dragged the large soft-shelled turtle back, marveling at it, and then began to devour.

You devoured a Soft-shelled Turtle and gained 30 evolution points.

Su Yuan swam in the middle layer of the water, where there were far more large fish than at the bottom of the lake.

"Let's go check out the center of the lake."

Su Yuan watched his evolution points increase in a straight line, especially as he got closer to the center of the lake, where the density and size of the large fish grew even larger.

He couldn't help but become curious and wanted to explore Dayang Lake.

His last crossing of Dayang Lake was merely along the shore and couldn't be called exploration.

A Rank 11, a massive seven-meter body, seven-centimeter long Claws whose sharpness rivaled special metals, extremely strong Camouflage Ability and ink spray, and his strongest trump card, the Laser Beam, combined with human intelligence.

All of these gave Su Yuan the confidence to explore Dayang Lake.

Even if he truly encountered an irresistible terrifying creature, he was confident he had the ability to escape.

Moreover, seeing his evolution points already exceeding four hundred, Su Yuan was confident that he would Level Up again before reaching the center of the lake.

At Rank 12, he believed that no matter what, even if he wasn't the strongest creature in Dayang Lake, he could at least be considered top-tier.

Having made his decision, Su Yuan immediately left the shore and swam towards the center of the lake.

The closer he got to the center of the lake, Su Yuan found more and more large fish.

Three-meter Black Carp, nearly two-meter Mandarin Fish, three-meter Carp, four-meter Reeves Shad, four-meter Water Snake, three-meter Crucian Carp, Bighead Carp, Silver Carp, Grass Carp, and so on.

Even Tilapia had bodies approaching two meters, and their numbers were not small.

Su Yuan had only advanced about ten kilometers, and these large fish had already reached such sizes.

Su Yuan feasted all the way, not even looking at his evolution points. Although he mainly ate Tilapia and Suckerfish, he felt it was definitely enough to evolve.

Su Yuan thought, then opened his system panel.

evolution points: 802.6 / 700 (Devouring spiritual energy increasing) (Evolvable)

"My evolution points have exceeded the upgrade requirement by over a hundred!"

Su Yuan was a little surprised. This was without him fully hunting large fish; otherwise, the evolution points would be even more astonishing.

Just then, Su Yuan noticed an uninvited guest arriving in the vicinity, where he had scared away many fish and shrimp.

This was a strange fish over eight meters long, its size surpassing Su Yuan's.

It was a dark green strange fish, with a long, cylindrical body covered in a layer of armor-like scales that gleamed with a metallic luster, looking incredibly hard.

Its mouth was long and slender, shaped like an alligator's, with both upper and lower jaws densely packed with short, blade-like teeth. Overall, it resembled a prehistoric Water Monster, awe-inspiring.

"Is this an Alligator Gar?" Su Yuan said uncertainly.

He had once seen reports that this was an invasive species, not native to the Rabbit Country, and Su Yuan hadn't researched it.

At this moment, the strange fish, suspected to be an Alligator Gar, suddenly charged at Su Yuan, its huge, gaping maw, like an alligator's mouth, biting towards Su Yuan.

On its teeth, some fish meat and crab shells could still be seen, indicating that this strange fish had just eaten something.

Facing a strange fish larger than himself, Su Yuan dared not be careless. He instantly retreated, creating distance, then his tentacles suddenly extended and swept out.
