After calming down, Sobek returned to the evolution interface to give a better look at it.Now a new System had become visible: the [Weapons system] icon appeared next to the [Food system]. Even though he couldn't open it, he already knew what it was. Now that he knew that those [Secondary systems] were used to prepare his army, it wasn't hard to figure out what that was given its name.Once he got it, he could create weapons of war!Sure, this meant seeing them first though...He shook his head. There was no point in mulling it over now: he had to wait for the next evolution to get it. He would have thought about it later, now he had other things to think about.He had unlocked five interface slots in the [Food system], but three were still missing. It was annoying, but he was patient: when the time came he would have asked the dinosaurs to tell him what they ate, and they would have shown it to him and allowed him to unlock the necessary slot.However, at the moment the [Food system]
Sobek needed a long time to consume the parasaurolophus. Even with [Rapid digestion], consuming such large an animal took time; after all, that dinosaur weighed over two tons, so the amount of meat it had to swallow was quite large.. When he finished it was already evening.Sobek was a little annoyed by this. Eating his prey had always been a source of annoyance for him given all the time it took, but at least in the swamp he could use his little island to take refuge away from any other predators; now that he had no safe haven he had spent the whole time looking around fearing that at any moment some fearsome opponent would have appeared. After all, a dead parasaurolophus was tempting to many: any large predator would have wanted a good piece of it, and Sobek was not at all sure he could protect his prey in such a situation. If the opponent was too tough, he would have been forced to give up the prey and therefore also the experience points. "With [Fast eating] I could certainly do it
As he had predicted, when he finished consuming both the apatosaurus and the dilophosaurus it was already the nine o'clock in the morning. It had taken him a whole night to make the corpses disappear into his jaws. Now, what remained of his two preys were just enormous skeletons, and many of the bones were even broken since he snapped them to eat the delicious and nourishing bone marrow.Incredibly, however, he wasn't tired. He didn't feel the need to sleep at all.When he was still a common spinosaurus he could stay awake for some days, but he still felt tired. Now, however, he was still in full force."I assume it's due to evolution. Now I need less sleep..." he thought, but still he couldn't help but ask himself some questions. "I wonder how it works. After all, the brain needs certain mechanisms and a lot of energy to function. Staying awake for too long would cause brain damage to amyone due to excessive energy consumption. Why is mine so different? Perhaps it has become similar t
It didn't take him long to reach the desired amount of experience points: following the olfactory traces left by the megaloceros he had been able to follow the entire herd. After a few tries, he had become very good at using each of his senses to their fullest potential, and fortunately the deer were not exactly intelligent animals and although they were faster they had not moved far enough away to escape his nose. With a second assault he had been able to get all the food he needed.In reality he had managed to catch very few of them: the deer weren't smart, bt they still had learned his smell by now, just like him, and they had dispersed almost immediately after sensed his arrival, and so they escaped from him for three times. They were too fast to chase them with his enormous and heavy body. After Sobek understood this, he decided that it was time to use [Ambush] again; he hadn't used that skill anymore because he wanted to test the new stealth abilities that he had obtained thanks
Over the next few days, Sobek did nothing except hunt down whatever he found. He had mostly focused on mammals and river creatures, without trying too much with the dinosaurs, but he still had to face some carnivores to get skill points. He had mostly focused on suchomimus, barionyx and rugops, but he also got to hunt another pair of dilophosaurs and even a bizarre carnivore with a strange bony hump on its back called concavenator.Thanks to his hard work, he was able to upgrade [Deadly claws] one more time, reaching level 3/5. Seeing how much he had improved defensively, he had decided to treat himself and having enough skill points on his side he had also finally upgraded [Fast eating] at level 1/,5 so as to at least speed up the consumption of his prey a little.. He felt he had reached a pretty good level, so he was planning to update [Regeneration] next time.Now his claws could take down a carnotaur with a single blow, so he could say he was safe enough. Therefore, even though he
"Allosaurus!?"Sobek's opponent was quite famous, so he had no trouble recognizing it. If he remembered correctly, the allosaurus had been one of the apex predators during the Jurassic period, if not THE actual apex.For a moment he panicked. The allosaurus was very similar to a t-rex: what if it was as dangerous as the terrible king of the dinosaurs?However, thinking rationally, Sobek realized that this couldn't be the case. The experience points offered by the allosaurus were much lower than the one offered by a tyrannosaurus. It didn't make sense to think they were equals. Furthermore, the mandibular structure and the body of the allosaurus didn't give him that idea of danger that those of the frightening t-rex emanated instead.Perhaps the allosaurus had been an apex predator in the Jurassic period, where there were no other predators, but it was clear that in that world of disordered ages it could be just halfway down the food chain. That put it more or less on the same level a
Once he finished to consume the carcass of the allosaurus, Sobek returned to the river and walked away. That area was no longer safe: the carcass of the maiasaura would have soon attracted more and more predators. Sobek could have just eaten it, but he wasn't going to waste time on something that couldn't provide him any experience points. He would have eaten a carcass if he was desperate, but he wasn't so at all since his skills allowed him to obtain fresh food every day. That carcass could therefore be left to the other carnivores of the forest; as he left, Sobek had even been able to see one.[Prey identified: Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, carcharodontosauridae. Experience: 65,000 points]If Sobek didn't remember wrong, the acrocanthosaurus was an apex predator during the Late Jurassic period; it was at least 12 meters long and since its size it probably weight more than 6 tons. Despite the promising investment, Sobek had preferred to not take the risk. That predator didn't seem much
It didn't end well. Or at least, it didn't go as smoothly as Sobek had hoped. In spite of himself, he soon discovered that even in the animal world the actions had their consequences.After moving a couple of kilometers away from the carcharodontosaurus he finally had stopped and ate the stegosaurus. That was his most noteworthy prey after the allosaurus: the stegosaurus had given it 20,000 experience points at one time. Even though it was only a sub-adult, it was still a huge amount of meat and quite dangerous, making it a great source of experience points. It had been also a very peaceful and tasty meal as Sobek had discovered that stegosaurus meat was particularly sweet and tasty, so he had felt as if he had eaten a luxury meal.Rather, the problem had come the next day. While he was swimming, Sobek had spotted the unmistakable silhouette of a large predator in the distance. Initially he had thought it was just some theropod who had come to drink, but on closer inspection he discove
