Slowly the number of crocodiles began to fall from hundreds. The queen crocodile also noted it and tried to use some strategies for this situation. But all of this failed miserably at the hands of a human-thinking large snake.

After finishing every fifteen-meter large crocodile. John began to face a real threat: a group of crocodiles that was twenty-five meters long. Even though John has many advantages over these crocodiles. He can't kill them like he does with those fifteen-meter-long crocodiles.

As these crocodiles can inflict an injury in his body. Even though the injuries are very small, when he faces a group of them at once it will be a disaster for him and it is a little dangerous for him to have a lot of injuries. He doesn't have any fast healing abilities and only heals slightly faster than other animals.

So, these type of injuries is very dangerous in the wild. Even if he's one of the top predators in the forest as far as he knows. But there are still some animals that are stronger, faster and have special abilities than what he knew.

After going through so many scenarios in his mind. John finally decided that he must take those giant crocodiles one by one without letting them see any difference. First, he decided to heal the injuries he gained from this group of large crocodiles.

A few days later.

The crocodiles at the lake began to calm down and forget that ninety percent of their population was reduced by unknown black snakes and still maintained their daily routine. Only the queen crocodile began to produce eggs rapidly because of the current situation. While those large crocodiles hunt vigorously for the queen crocodile.

Due to the low population of crocodiles and the increased need for food for the queen crocodile. The giant crocodiles began to patrol the territory individually to hunt efficiently and cover every area while patrolling.

John used this chance to hunt down all these crocodiles individually in a single patrol time to stop them from regrouping and hunting him down. After finalizing a plan, John began to move towards one of the lone giant crocodiles stealthily and quickly.

A giant crocodile is fighting fiercely with a large behemoth of twenty-five meters in height on the shore of the lake which came to drink water. The crocodile is biting its leg and bleeding it slowly. So that it can bring this animal, which is worth the effort of hundreds of small crocodiles to a queen crocodile.

To increase the population of the black metal crocodile clan back to how it was before. So that it can enjoy its lazy days. The crocodile doesn't have much thought it only knows the increase in small crocodile numbers equals less work and more free time.

A few moments later large herbivore animal with a long neck fell into the lake with two legs missing. Surrounding animals of the same species and other species fled after witnessing the brutality of the giant black metal crocodile.

Within a few moments, the large herbivore lost its life under the jaw of the merciless crocodile. The crocodile began to swim towards the small island while dragging away the herbivore animal. Within a few meters, the crocodile was attacked by a black snake and bitten down in its throat.

A large of number snake teeth stuck in crocodiles' tougher skin and released liquid venom that instantly began to kill all the cells, and organs that came into contact with it.

The crocodile didn't get any time to respond. Its life ended in less than two seconds and it became a dead body alongside the animal it had just hunted. John doesn't eat either the herbivore animal or the crocodile.

Because he has to hunt down all these crocodiles in a certain time and can't spend time eating until he kills all the crocodiles. So he abandoned the dead bodies of what he hunted. He began to move towards the next animal he sensed with his heat vision and smell sense.

Using the liquid venom that is very corrosive and can kill any life that can come into contact within a few moments. John's hunt had become easy to kill those giant crocodiles in a few minutes. The heat sense and smell sense helped him in the hunting process very much to avoid hunting the crocodiles when there's another crocodile nearby.

With these extraordinary sensory skills coupled with the poisonous liquid, he can inject from numerous teeth inside his mouth and camouflage skills. He killed all the giant crocodiles within a few minutes. Even with these skills and hunting down crocodiles individually, he still suffered a few injuries.

So it's a really wise choice he decided to hunt down these crocodiles individually or it may be possible he will suffer serious injuries and still can't hunt down all of them. John began to swallow these crocodiles after confirming there were no other crocodiles remaining in this lake other than the Queen crocodile in the middle of the island in the lake under the red tree surrounded by newly born meter-long crocodiles.

John recuperated in a hidden place in the lake while digesting all the crocodile's body which provided him large amount of energy. He began to use that energy and released liquid poison surrounding the island. The blue lake began to change color into purple color and dead fish and various animals' dead bodies began to float around the island.

The poison also killed all the newborn crocodiles that entered the water from the island making the island look particularly creepy. A hundred meters surrounding the island are covered with purple color poison and poisonous fog also begins to cover the island making it very hard for anything to escape or enter the island.

Slowly everything on the island began to die with the appearance of fog covering the island. As time passed the island became silent with almost every animal dying. In the water surrounding the island, it's even worse. Even plants and other living things poisoned by the liquid poison began to die. An hour later everything died. A long shadow appeared in the purple water where no life was present.

John looked at what he caused and chuckled (My poisonous ability is terrifying with different types of poison. I don't know if all the snake from my species is this strong. If so I am really lucky born into this species. Because even if I remained conscious I don't really would have made the best choice without having any information from this world.)

John then denied the thought every snake of his species had abilities like him. Because if so then there would have been so many snakes present in the forest, but it's not. It's possible only he has such poisonous abilities thanks to the all-around strengthening effect bought out by the talent's endless growth.

John began to swallow and digest every dead body in the surroundings to not waste food and to refill the energy he wasted on continuously pumping poisonous fog and poisonous liquid nonstop to prevent the Queen crocodile from escaping and at the same time to test if it was possible to use his poison like this.

This trick may become useful in the future against a large number of animals. After digesting everything and filling up the energy John began to take rest in purple water to restore his stamina. He's not worried about getting poisoned because he is very immune to his poison and most of the poisons.

Half an hour later, John slithered into the island at a slow pace while looking at the surroundings. Then he moved towards the large queen crocodile's body that was as big as him but less wide than him. Soon he reached the tree that was smaller than him with crimson red fruits smaller than his scales with an obvious desire in his eyes that his driven by a biological need for evolution.

Suddenly, the queen crocodile opened its vertical golden pupil eyes and attacked.

~Screeech~

A metal cracking sounded and then a whimpering sound signaled the end of a large animal that created a glorious era for black metal crocodiles that is mid-level species in the evolutionary chain.

John looked at the dead queen crocodile with cold vertical crimson pupils vividly describing wild animal nature. Then he moved towards the tree and swallowed one of the crimson-colored fruits. Suddenly his body shook and various injuries healed at a rapid pace and his body's various functions improved slightly. Then the energy disappeared into various parts of his body improving his body overall.

John then ate another fruit and tried to guide the energy toward the small backward horns on the side of both of his ears. Suddenly his heat vision became blank for a second and returned with slight improvement. Previously he could sense heat within one hundred twenty meters. But now his range increased five metres more and he can also accurately grasp the shape of animals which produces heat. Previously he could only see the heat of animals with blurry images. He can now clearly see the animal's body shape.

John looked at the remaining fruits with intense desire. This fruit can evolve certain organs or abilities in a short time. Which is very useful for him in his hunt for looking for civilization or unique animals with amazing talent.
