Bab 8: Little crocos life
Hurriedly, Jomel created a contract symbol made from his Will Energy.
He jumped down to the giant glass tank where the Giant crocodile was in, after living in his past life in land for twenty-three years and barely having a crocodile encounter.
It made Jomel complacent.
This encounter was as good as they come, suddenly.
The giant crocodile opened his eyes that made Jomel freeze on the spot. He is scared and feeling dread about this so, he didn't move afraid of agitating the giant crocodile.
"HAHAHAHA! Don't worry it won't bite.." Different from the man that took him here, a tall man looking like a Vietnamese in a western soldier uniform which is extremely rare for jomel spoke, while laughing.
Jomel nodded and climbs up at the top of the giant crocodile.
He sits up like a monk at the top of its head and closed his eyes.
He is feeling weird, he feels like he is being suffocated.
He began to move, and kick and kick- he noticed that there's a barrier-like thing on his way.
And then…
Cha!
He broke free.
Jomel looked at his surrounding like it was completely different, still, it is fuzzy but he can see clearly after a little while.
------------
He saw a new world, he is now on some sandy beach and like he is moving on his own.
Jomel tried to move his little legs, but he couldn't then he remembered everything.
Last time he was going to tame a giant crocodile, then does it mean…?
It means that right now, he is experiencing a life of the crocodile- he still didn't know if it's the crocodile he is taming or some random crocodile.
After staying for a while and moving circle-to-circle on the sand he noticed a giant shadow from the distance.
He knows that this giant is the mother of the crocodile he is being with.
He couldn't measure the size of the giant crocodile because he was in the perspective of the hatchling little crocodile.
She immediately starts to gather the siblings of the little crocodile he is with on her massive jaws.
Only a few minutes old and this little male he is with is already proving his independence.
While the siblings of this crocodile he is with were tuck away from the giant crocodile's bone-breaking teeth.
The little crocodile begins to explore…
The first challenge, climb a mountain.
*plakk!*
There it falls, but it looks like for the little crocodile it seems easy enough.
*Clamp*
His mother sponged him and gathers him up.
For now, his exploration is over.
But his adventure is only beginning, with a free ride from its mother's mouth to the water's edge.
The mother of this little child must find a secluded nursery to safeguard her babies.
Protected spots are in short supply in the lake of the unknown lake, which is full of predators for little crocodiles like him and even his mother.
She finds what seems to be a suitable area.
But the pool is occupied, and the owner doesn't appreciate the intrusion.
The female responded –mother of the little crocodile-, she opens her mouth, the little crocodile and some of his siblings fall out into the danger zone.
Instinctively the young male- jomel is with, makes his escape,
*SWOOOOSSSHHHH*
And barely misses the jaws of death.
Defeated by the older and more powerful female, the young female mother must abandon the pool.
Leaving her babies, forever!
Defenseless orphans in a dangerous world.
This scene was familiar to him. It's like the scene when he saw the scene of the past owner of this body he is using.
Luckily little crocodiles are precautious from birth, Inheriting the instincts needed to survive as soon as they hatched.
It doesn't take long for the little young male that Jomel is with, to master the crocodile typical ambush hunting technique.
*Splassheess*
With splashes from water, the little male crocodile clomps a grasshopper as a meal, on his razor-sharp and tight jaws.
The Soul-Beast insect size pray would change to Soul-Beast fish as the little crocodile grows up.
And if he makes it to adulthood he'll be powerful enough to catch large prey.
But for now, he must take care of himself not to become a perfect meal for other bigger Soul-Beast predators.
Instinctively the young little male hides from Soul-Beast predators bigger than himself, at this tender age of the little crocodile were on the bottom of the food chain.
Only two percent of little crocodiles survive in the wild.
This means that this guy is not from the alliance, and this little crocodile is not born here.
Now, this young male crocodile was still on the running.
After a long time of that Jomel couldn't count on how many days or maybe years- the little crocodile, grows into a near-adult.
When it comes to size he is a featherweight in comparison to other giants Crocodile like Soul-Beast.
While on the mating season, those gigantic crocodiles display their power while clamping on the water to attract females.
*kaboom!!!* *splashes!* *crank!-crank!*
This is a battleground, thousands of bones sprouted from the ground- and the water bomb explosion was constantly on the rise everywhere.
This is what the young male is always trying to avoid.
This is the right time to go away from here- At the first opportunity, he saw He leaves the battleground.
He swims away from his birthplace into unknown territory.
A wonder-world, where the tranquil waters have teemed with food.
Attracted by the bounty of food, the young crocodile Soul-Beast swims and follows the shoal, further and further from familiar waters.
He swims into the first channel.
A completely different habitat in comparison to the lake-that was his home from the past few years.
The reefs here formed a perfect nursery ground for a thousand baby juvenile Soul-beast fish,
A thick-massive-ridge, impenetrable from predators- on this area- most likely these predators are not interested in this baby soul-beast fishes.
The young crocodile swims away- he is in hot pursuit of bigger soul-beast fishes.
But the next are different barriers for any wildlife, the nets are made from strong creatures because bigger crocodiles than himself are covered in there.
Some of them are even enormous than himself twice bigger than giant males from his birth lake, the young crocodile manages to avoid the nets.
But he was heading on the collision course of modern technology-
As the sun heralds the beginning of another day.
Over the last three weeks, the young intrepid crocodile travels in almost fifteen kilometers, finally catching up to the shoals, entering the estuary.
The estuary is a largemouth of a large river, where the tide meets the stream.
The crocodile can cope with salinity like some other Soul-Beast fishes.
Salinity is a concentration of dissolved salt in water etc.
He expels the salts from his glands found on his tongue, but there is more than the young crocodile needs to deal with, now he is in the estuary.
Cause this is the tidal zone, the boundary between bay and sea.
The strong water currents created by the rushing water buffed anything on their path.
Even large Soul-Beast creatures and good swimmers are taken away by these water currents.
As the tide reseeds the other Small Soul-Beast fishes, hides in the giants tangled broken branches and trees.
Which provides them a barrier, preventing them from being washed out to the sea.
Those who remain in the open are being swept along by the tide current, no matter how large Soul-Beast they are or strong they have become.
The current will be dictating their path.
Suddenly, a barricade made of metal appeared in front of them.
An impossible fence, a trap-
With a strong current preventing them from coming back, the soul-Beast fishes had no choice but to follow the fence.
In the end, they find a gap and moved through it.
Seeking escape, but their faith is sealed.
At low tide, they'll be gathered for the fisherman to catch them.
While chasing the fishes, the young crocodile Soul-Beast was caught in the same current.
Pushing him towards the giant metallic fence, the water flows push him along just like the water SOUL-Beast fishes before him, closer and closer to the mouth of the trap.
At the last minute due to greed, he didn't avoid the trap.
He saw a lot of fish in the trap so he goes for his served food.
There's not a lot of bigger Soul-Beast fishes than him here, because those who are bigger jumps away or pierced a hole through the fence after eating a lot of Soul-Beast fishes.
Some small soul-beast fish passes through the hole created by those powerful Soul-Beast Most of them did not due to panic.
And over time the hole created was beginning to close due to some advanced technological thing, where it is created from.
Every minute large creature is going in and out, they didn't dare to hit and bite the crocodile Soul-Beast because they know that this kind of crocodile was full of bones.
And after that, the Soul-Beast crocodile was caught.
The one jomel contracting is, was just an average teenager-sized Soul-beast crocodile.
At the same time- The crocodile Soul-Beast and Jomel opened their eyes.
They are now connected- but the contract is not complete.
"Don't worry, the difficult process was already complete, you just need to let it rest to your soul beast space and it'll be familiar to you... HAHAHAHAHA! the Vietnamese looking guy explained while laughing.
"You will know its quality after it is familiar to you so don't worry... The soul link, between you and your Soul-beast, will tell you what he is" he continued.
Jomel nodded and putting his crocodile on his head that made a tattoo on the left side of his face, and then he began to rest.
After resting for a while, he eyed the Wolverine and badger-like Soul-beast.
