Chapter 13 Agate Forest
Although Parasaurolophus is tall, its head is not big, only three times the size of a human head. It has a long and curved crown on the back of its head, and its flat mouth is a bit like a duckbill.

The Parasaurolophus that Tamar held was only about two meters high, and it belonged to a juvenile dinosaur.

For a small tribe like the Taka tribe, domesticating herbivorous dinosaurs is the most suitable.

Parasaurolophus is large, and it will take a long time for the inferior Pangu warriors of the first rank to tame them, and they need more fruits.

For this reason, Li Yan ran back and forth several times to collect fruit. When the fruit was not enough, he went to collect grass roots.

In the evening, a Fire Emblem finally appeared on Parasaurolophus' forehead, and it finally recognized its owner.

It took the two of them a full day to recover the dinosaur.

"Huh, finally tamed"

Tamar looked at Parasaurolophus standing up again, and she let out a long breath of relief.

"moo"

Parasaurolophus put the huge animal head next to Tamar's cheek and rubbed it intimately, and Tamar stretched out his hand to caress it with a smile.

Li Yan watched the tamed Parasaurolophus curiously. It was the first time he observed such a huge dinosaur up close.

"Sister, is this dragon male or female?"

"This is a female, the male behemoth is brighter in color."

"Female? Then... let's catch another male and let them give birth to baby dinosaurs, hee hee"

"It's getting late, we have to find a place to rest quickly."

After Tamar said that, Li Yan noticed the current situation. Most of the ferocious beasts would forage at night, and this barren mountain and wild ridge was full of dangers.

Tamar is an experienced hunter, and she is calm now.

Tamar made a muzzle out of the rope she carried with her and put it on the head of Parasaurolophus.

Afterwards, Tamar sat in the recess where Parasaurolophus' neck connected to its body.

She drove Parasaurolophus around for a few laps, returned to Li Yan, and said, "I'll make a saddle for it when I get back, Yan, come up."

"Oh"

Li Yan went up and sat behind Tamar, without a saddle, this dinosaur was very difficult to sit on.

The sun became dim, and the two drove Parasaurolophus into the forest.

In the forest, where the trees are denser, there are fewer large carnivores. Tamar drove Parasaurolophus to the place with the densest trees with great experience.

Finally, they found a giant crooked-neck tree as a shelter for tonight.

Although Parasaurolophus is a herbivore, with its size, ordinary tigers and leopards would not easily provoke it.

After they lit a fire under the tree, they went to rest on the tree. The parasaurolophus who recognized the owner didn't seem to be afraid of fire, and fell asleep lying under the tree.

With parasaurolophus guards, I finally don't have to worry so much at night.

Had a safe night.

morning.

The two got up and ate some berries, found some worms nearby to eat, and then rode Parasaurolophus to Funiu Mountain.

In fact, Funiu Mountain is at least two days away from the Taka tribe.

Li Yan asked curiously why Mu said it was only a one-day journey, and Tamar said that Mu came to the Agate Forest a long time ago. At that time, she and Mu also rode Parasaurolophus there, and then the tribe's dinosaurs died. Mu has never been to Funiu Mountain.

At noon, the two finally came to a large mountain range, which was composed of two mountains, one large and one small. There were two huge ancient trees on the mountainside of the small mountain. Looking at it from a distance, it looked like a cow lying on the ground. There.

The Onyx Forest is just behind that hill.

With Parasaurolophus walking instead, you don't have to worry about the attacks of snakes, insects or small and medium carnivores on the ground.

When the two came to the edge of the agate forest, Tamar stopped to observe.

There are lush trees and vines, and the bark of many trees is white jade, which is vivid under the sunlight.

Tamar observed for a while, then said: "Let's go down."

"Ah."

The two descended from Parasaurolophus and tied it to a tree.

Then, holding their flint spears to their chests, they entered the forest cautiously.

The Agate Forest is lush with lush vegetation and a variety of creatures, but Tamar is very experienced. Every time, she slaps the grass and vines in front of her with a spear to scare away the snakes and insects, and only moves forward when she is safe. Li Yan also followed suit.

Here they are looking for a kind of thorny vine with two heart-shaped leaves.

The two searched earnestly.

Not long after walking, Li Yan tripped over a lump of objects on the ground with a "click".

He got up, looked back, and saw a giant brown and red snail on the ground half a meter high, with some embossed lines on its body.

After the snail was tripped, it shrank in the shell, and the shell mouth also secreted some sticky milky white snot-like secretions. These secretions were very viscous and in large quantities, and looked disgusting.

Li Yan curiously picked up a branch and poked it, the more he poked it, the more mucus it secreted.

Li Yan found that after the mucus dries, it seems to be very tough.

"Sister, come here."

"Can this snail be eaten?"

Li Yan couldn't help asking.

Tamar nodded and said, "This is the unique agate snail in the agate forest. It can be eaten. Although this kind of snail is disgusting, the mucus it secretes is very useful. Some tribes use it to glue stones and wood and build buildings." wall."

"I want to bring a few back to the tribe." Li Yan said.

"Well, take it. This kind of snail can lay many eggs at a time and reproduce very quickly. It is enough for you to take one home." Tamar replied.

"One? Two? I want to breed some, raise them for food, and build walls."

"One is enough, there is no distinction between male and female."

"oh oh."

After speaking, Li Yan hurriedly found a few big leaves to wrap it up, and then tied it to Parasaurolophus' body with a rope.

The two continued to go deep into the agate forest to find thorny vines.

This kind of grass is really hard to find. They searched for two hours but found nothing. It is said that this kind of grass is a climbing plant, which can grow a large area like a creeper.

Unknowingly, the two came to a small stream.

Resting under a giant brown mushroom more than two meters high.

Looking at the giant mushroom in front of him, Li Yan couldn't help picking up his spear and poking at its body, and easily poked it in. Immediately, its mushroom powder fell like snow, he quickly dodged, and asked again: " Sister, can this mushroom be eaten?"

"What are you doing?" Tamar frowned, patted the powder on her body, and replied angrily, "It's edible! If it was poisonous, I wouldn't sit here."

As soon as he heard that it was edible, Li Yan immediately went back to Parasaurolophus to fetch the Firebow, a large shell and two small shells.

He found two stones in the creek to make a simple stove, and then scooped a cup of shell water and put it on the stove to burn.

"Mu said that the water should be boiled before drinking so that it is not easy to get sick." Li Yan recalled that Mr. Pei had said that you must not drink raw water casually in the wild.

"Mu said? All right." Tamar obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't ask further.

Li Yan patiently boiled seven shells of water, and after filling the skin bag, he made another idea of ​​the big mushroom.

Agate snails can be seen everywhere in the agate forest.

He quickly found two agate snails that were twice the size of his fist in the grass.

Then, some mushrooms were cut with a spear and cleaned for later use.

After washing the agate snails, put them directly into the fire, and bake them with the shell facing upwards.

Beep
The two snails kept secreting white pulp. Li Yan poured it several times before they stopped secreting.

After roasting for a while, the snail meat was picked out with branches, and then skewered on the fire to continue roasting.

Baked until the surface is golden and fat, it looks very attractive.

When it's almost done, put it in the shell and boil it with mushrooms to make snail meat and mushroom soup.

He took a shell and handed it to Tamar.

Li Yan also drank.

The meat of this agate snail is a bit salty, and it is just right with the mushrooms, and there is no need to put any salt.

The taste is umami, and the soup is filled with the aroma of mushrooms.

Tamar drank two shells in a row and praised: "Yan, in the tribe, you are the one who can burn food the best."

"Isn't this forced?" Li Yan said angrily.

The two chatted while eating, but they didn't realize that there was a strange tree sneaking up to them behind them.
