Primordial Island

This is a huge island with massive volcanoes, dense jungles, and a pristine environment.

In the middle of the island, there is a river that flows deep into the island.

The island is flanked by tall trees that stretch out in a continuous expanse. Their massive canopies shade the river above, blocking out the sunlight and making the area appear somewhat dark.

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared behind the trees, and with a loud noise, the figure was exposed.

A huge head with sharp teeth in a large mouth.

Two short forelimbs and two thick hind limbs.

A long, powerful tail; brown skin; and bulging muscles.

This is a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It walked to the riverbank, lowered its head, and intended to drink the river water.

But the moment it lowered its head, the waves broke apart, and a huge creature leaped out of the water, opened its enormous mouth, and bit its neck, swallowing its chest as well.

Click.

With its teeth clenched, it bit off the chest and neck, causing blood to gush out.

Then the figure slowly climbed onto the surface of the water. It was a huge monster about fifty meters long, which looked like half a crocodile, but had six legs.

He chewed up the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head and swallowed it, then ate a leg and part of its body.

I'm full.

Xia Qiu felt his stomach was bloated. This Tyrannosaurus Rex weighed at least ten tons, and he had eaten five tons of it.

The remaining half of the body cannot be wasted.

Xia Qiu dragged it into the sea and swam away into the distance.

Sea fish, attracted by the smell of blood, swarmed over, but by the time they arrived, Xia Qiu had already left.

Arriving at a small island not far away, Xia Qiu placed the remaining body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the shore, then lay down beside it. Soon after, a heat wave appeared and spread outwards.

The size of the heat flow is similar to that of the Giant Beast islands on Moo's island, and slightly larger than that of the crocodile.

That's enough.

Xia Qiu's next plan is to eat dinosaurs, mainly to change her legs.

Xia Qiu's current legs are inherited from the F crocodile. The F crocodile's legs are different from those of ordinary crocodiles. The legs of ordinary crocodiles are two segments on the ground, with the second segment tightly pressed against the ground, like an inverted L shape.

The crocodile's legs can be supported, and the second segment is perpendicular to the ground, allowing it to move forward.

It's equivalent to the bent-arm position in a plank or push-up, or the kneeling and squatting positions.

Xia Qiu inherited the legs of the crocodile, but it wasn't enough.

Xia Qiu wanted to prop herself up with her legs, knees pointing to the sides or forward, as this would have many benefits.

The first difference is that the stride distance is greater. The crocodile's legs are still at right angles, supporting its body only with the second segment, using the first segment to move forward and drive the second segment.

This results in a limited distance for each step, while when you straighten your body, the distance you cover with each step increases significantly.

The second benefit is that it allows you to use less force when performing actions.

When the F-Crocodile moves forward, the weight of its body is concentrated on the muscles of the first segment, while when supporting its body, the force is concentrated on the muscles of the second segment.

When you straighten your legs and move forward, the force is distributed across the entire leg, including the bones at the knee.

It's like doing push-ups; the bent-arm position is more tiring than the straight-arm position.

Squatting while walking is more tiring than standing while walking.

Thirdly, it offers greater control and allows for easy changes in orientation.

Of course, the downside is the stress on the knees and joints, which will accelerate joint damage. However, the time frame is relatively long, and injuries can be repaired through food intake in Xia Qiu, so this can be temporarily ignored.

Therefore, Xia Qiu must develop stronger legs on this basis, and the target could be large land mammals or reptiles.

Near Whiskey Peak lies Primordial Island, which, due to its isolation, has maintained its pristine state and is home to dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs had very strong legs that could support their massive bodies, and some even walked upright, supporting their enormous bodies with just their hind limbs.

So Xia Qiu chose dinosaurs, and by eating dinosaurs, he evolved his own legs.

The Little Garden contains many dinosaurs, Archaeopteryx, Pterosaur, Spinosaurus, Brontosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Triceratops, and more.

Among these, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, and Baryonyx could all move forward using only their hind limbs.

Tyrannosaurus Rex was Xia Qiu's top priority target.

While Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't the longest carnivorous dinosaur, its body width, cervical spine width, pelvic size, and scapular size all exceeded those of other carnivorous dinosaurs of similar size. In particular, its legs were extremely thick and tall, making it the largest in terms of both strength and length among dinosaurs of similar size.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex can stand six meters tall, with its hips reaching up to five meters high.

Relying on its two legs, Tyrannosaurus Rex could support a maximum length of 15 meters and a weight of 15 tons.

Moreover, its unique structure gave Tyrannosaurus Rex good balance and load-bearing capacity in its legs, making it easier to support its powerful body.

The weight gain during Xia Qiu is due not only to changes in the legs, but also to changes in the body's bones and cervical spine.

If one could evolve legs like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, their mobility would increase, and they could go much faster.

At the same time, it can free up the wrists and feet, giving them ample room to move.

This way, your combat power can be doubled.

Of course, the number of Tyrannosaurus Rex on the island is limited, so in Xia Qiu and autumn, Tyrannosaurus Rex are the main species, with upright dinosaurs as a supplement, and other dinosaurs as energy support.

As for whether there are enough dinosaurs on the island, even Dorry and Brogy could survive there for a hundred years by feeding on dinosaurs, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

One post a day or one post every two years, and you can complete the transformation in a year.

However, caution is still advised. While dinosaurs are not a major threat, dangers still exist on the Primordial Island.

First up are Dorry and Brogy, two giants. As captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, they are incredibly powerful, possessing rich combat experience and superb fighting skills, and even special combat techniques. Together, they can even defeat the giant Island-Devouring Monster.

The two men were at least at the Vice Admiral level, and given his lack of mobility on land, he was even less able to defeat them.

Secondly, there is the Island-Devouring Monster to the east of the Primordial Island, which feeds on islands and whose excrement is the size of a small island. If you encounter it, you will only die.

Therefore, Xia Qiu does not plan to go to the eastern sea area, but only to operate in the western Primordial Island.

Xia Qiu waited for a while, chased away several wild beasts that had come following the scent of blood, and, once again hungry, ate the remaining Tyrannosaurus Rex carcass.

Once the heatwave subsided, Xia Qiu left the island and returned to the island where Zala lived.

Food and evolutionary direction have been determined, and a source of Reinforcement Energy has been found.

The remaining one is Baroque Works. At present, Baroque Works is still relatively weak and needs to become stronger to meet its own needs.

To expand the Baroque Works, the first thing to do is to raise more funds.
