Survival In the World of Beasts

The journey to start again is not as comfortable and comfortable as the last time. Bull riding and brachiosaurus riding are completely different experiences. The former is naturally more bumpy and tired. It is impossible to go sightseeing like the last time. After all, The hunting behind them also needs them to be on guard from time to time.

The endurance of most predators will not be so good, but they can’t stand the waves of predators waiting to be killed on the road, probably because they vaguely know the white body, or can smell the threat of big cats from the smell. Although the small predators are scattered far away, they will attack the lagging ones in the team, but they rarely attack their mounts actively.

In the beginning, Li Shizhen and Bai seldom left the cattle herd, relying solely on the food and water reserves to sustain them. Soon, both of them realized that this kind of consumption was not a solution, the water was slightly better, but they couldn’t store food for long because they didn’t have enough salt, so Li Shizhen didn’t have much to prepare, so they had to be on the road at any time. Replenish water and food.

Along the way, he seemed to notice the endless stream of small predators around him. Bai You suggested that he would change back to the form of a white tiger on the way, but Li Shizhen refused.

Although at first hearing Bai’s suggestion, Li Shizhao was surprised that this form could be changed at will, but was also a little moved. The deterrent power of the tiger shape is of course greater for small predators, but when he thought of the last time From the nine deaths of a tiger to a human, he immediately denied it.

What a joke, I want to know that although this form change is reversible, the energy and material consumed by the body will not be reduced by this reversibility. This white tiger's body has just stabilized, and it is still a good deal along the way. In peace, it is not guilty to take the body and life to take this risk.

Considering that Baihu’s human form is indeed not as big as his animal form with fangs and sharp teeth, and a huge body, Li Shizhao also prepared some weapons for Bai alone, and Bai himself made some on the road. Judging by his height and body shape, he is proficient. After using it, its lethality will never be much less than when it was in a tiger shape.

The night is the most dangerous time. At this time, the cattle will generally choose to rest in a relatively open place where predators are not easy to ambush, and the two will also choose a closer place to rest.

When the cattle stopped, they tied their mounts to fetch water and hunt, anyway, they would never make the mistake of letting the mounts run away with supplies.

But then again, their previous means of transportation was a brachiosaurus. If you want to tie it, you have to be able to tie it. Besides, the huge body of the brachiosaurus needs to be constantly replenished with energy. Miss Brachiosaurus is a pregnant woman. Li Shizhen was also afraid that he would be hungry after he tied it.

Thinking of the brachiosaurus that would stop for them at last, Li Shizhen couldn't help but miss it a little. With the speed of the brachiosaurus trek, they stayed by the river for so long, maybe the brachiosaurus might have arrived at their destination. .

The time to stay on the road is also very tight. Along the way, there are very few prey and water sources at the beginning. The cattle can still rely on the moisture in the grass and leaves to support, but the two cannot. They can only rely solely on the inventory and Li that they carry with them. Shizhao uses his own water collection equipment to collect some dew.

In this case, neither Bai nor Li Shizhao can pick up on the source of the water anymore, as long as it looks clear and has no obvious odor, they can accept it.

But even under such difficult conditions, beyond Li Shixun's expectation, Bai, who has become a human form, has extraordinarily his own principles on certain things.

After riding this cow, Bai no longer put its race on his own recipe. No matter how difficult the journey, no matter how hungry and thirsty the two are, he has no idea to beat them, the old and weak lagging behind in this herd. He also just watched silently, without thinking of sharing food with other predators.

Even when other predators are attacking, Bai will provide some shelter if it is smooth.

Li Shizhao silently assisted from the side, and seemed to be accustomed to Bai's persistence and stubbornness. Not to mention Yongquan retribution, at least don't be ungrateful. In this regard, Li Shizhen is also willing to stick to his moral bottom line, just like Bai.

With more and more predators and larger bodies, both food and water sources have sporadically increased. At first, they had to beware of hungry predators attacking at night, but gradually This kind of sneak attack has been decreasing, and the predators behind them seem to have other targets to distract, which is much better than when they are by the river, and it is enough for them to solve the food problem.

Along the way, all the weapons that Li Zhizhen prepared for Bai had been proficient by himself. He saw that the sharp wooden stick that Li Zhizhen used as a spare spear was thrown out easily by Bai "calling", Li Zhizheng = Ware=!

So a beast is a beast, and it is still a beast when it becomes a human form!

The strength and quasi-head are bigger. After this big cat becomes a human form, it seems to hate the noon sun even more?

In the past, I was afraid of heat when I was covered in fur, but now? It seems that the situation is not so simple to hate the heat and the glare of the sun.

It is related to the midday combat power of the team members. Li Shizhen paid much attention until he realized that Bai seemed to be unable to open his eyes without wearing a hat at noon? He was a little helpless. This guy was quite capable of hiding things in his heart. He hadn't mentioned this question in the tiger shape before. He only used auspicious clothes to cover his eyes. Now he doesn't say anything when he puts on his hat.

It's a pity that there are no sunglasses or anything here. It should be because the eyesight is sensitive to strong light caused by too light pigment. Li Shizhao thought that maybe he would get better after wearing the hat, so he didn't bother with this problem anymore, and he really couldn't make him a blindfold or something in the future.

Gradually, Li Shizhen found that although the number of sneak attackers was decreasing, the time for the cattle to stay for food was getting longer and longer. Are they about to approach their destination?

Seeing Li Shizhao's somewhat delighted expression, Bai just smiled without saying a word.

This morning, the movement speed of the cattle herd was significantly faster. When he saw the abundant water not far ahead, even Li Shizhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

You must know the turbulence of these days, coupled with the harsh eating environment, and the fear of the predators from time to time. If it were not for the richness and beauty of the destination ahead, he would have been tired and unable to sustain it.

The most exhausting thing is not to deal with the hardships of the journey and the danger of assaults, but the targets that have not been seen in front of you. The feeling that you cannot know or grasp is too frustrating for a good boy who likes to have goals and plans. .

The cattle stopped to drink.

Bai made a gesture to Li Shizhen, and the two took their weapons and got off their mounts in advance, and stopped at a distance.

At first Li Shizun thought that Bai wanted to take the opportunity to go hunting, but he seemed to be a little confused by the expression of Bai Jingjing standing aside.

Soon, Li Shizhao understood the reason, and the cattle were hesitant to drink. Some young calves even took a quick sip and took a step back, watched, and then carefully stepped forward to take a sip of water.

Li Shizhao stared into the water, waiting for the danger to surface. Although he was too thirsty, at this time, the prey and the predator competed with patience.

"Wow—"

With the huge water waves rising on the shore, Li Shizhen saw a kind of predator in the water that was completely different from the previous one. From the situation that the previous water overlord came back from Baijiao, his limbs should be fins, and the main thing should be Active in the water, at most you can ambush in the mud, and now this creature has obviously evolved the limbs of a reptile, like an amphibian, with huge upper and lower jaws, almost exactly the same as a crocodile, but almost Li Shixun's body shape. Twice as I have seen.

Double the size, aware that the terrible bite force of the crocodile is also increasing at least twice, and the cow that retreated a little later was undoubtedly dragged into the water.

The cow herd was startled to retreat more than ten meters away. As the cow launched in the water, a more violent water wave was set off. Numerous giant crocodiles were vying for their prey, and they never gave up each other. There was a layer of shallow water on the edge of the wave. Light crimson, there are prey and predators.

Li Shizhao felt a little heavier because of the joy of arriving at the place of migration. He sighed slightly. On this continent, where there is no danger, any relaxation needs to be careful. Anyone who is not cautious may pay a price that he cannot bear.

When he recovered, he patted the two cows in vain, unloaded everything, carried the weapon and a few bamboo tubes on his back, untied the tether on the cow's neck, and let them free directly.

It took Li Shizhao a long time to react, yes, since they have arrived at the destination, let them leave by themselves. But he raised his eyes and looked around. There was this water source in front of him, and there was a green mountain not far away. He always felt that something was missing.

Bai seemed to be sure that the full crocodile would no longer attack. He threw the bamboo tube from a distance and hit some clear water, and then pulled Li Shizhao to the mountain.

Li Shizhao didn't understand, is this a place to find a place to stay? He looked down at the hand held by Bai, paused, and Bai turned his head and glanced at him suspiciously. Looking at those pure ice-blue eyes, Li Shizhen had to lift his heels up.

"Where is this going? Find a place to rest?" After all, he had never been around here, and he didn't know any predators. The white frame seemed quite familiar.

Bai shook his head.

Li Shizhao looked at Bai with some confusion: "Why, isn't it looking for a place to stay?"

Bai laughed loudly, showing white teeth. He did not answer, but just led Li Zhizhen into the forest in front of him.

Along the way, Li Zhizhen’s eyes were a little insufficient. The species here were obviously richer than in the original jungle. He saw with his own eyes two small colorful dinosaurs vying for a nut that he didn’t know what it was. The nuts rolled under their feet, and the two little dinosaurs also fought and passed under their feet.

Among them, the blue-green one who snatched the nuts slipped into a hole in a tree that had been wormed out. The other yellow-green chick looked outside, and then snapped and jumped into it. , Squeaky quarrels and thumping sounds came from inside.

Li Shizhao laughed out loudly.

Bai glanced at him: "Can't eat." There seemed to be regret under the tone.

Li Shizhao gave him a roll of eyes, eating goods means eating goods, but he was also quite curious: "Poisonous?"

Bai nodded affirmatively.

Li Shizhao knew it, she was so small, and with such a dazzling color, it would have been eaten if it weren't poisonous.

From time to time pterosaurs and birds of prey crossed the top of the tall woods. Li Shizhen raised his head and looked at it carefully. He was slightly moved. There are so many kinds of pterosaurs, in various colors, red, blue, orange, and red. The ones with tails and those without tails are as diverse as birds.

There are also some strange species on the treetops. They are between dinosaurs and birds. They have dazzling feathers, but they also have dinosaur sharp teeth. Fortunately, they are not big, and their calls are not as tactful as ordinary birds, but more like pterosaurs. Sharp.

From time to time, you can see some huge footprints on the slightly moist soil on the ground. It seems that their owner hasn't left for too long. They just passed by here, making Li Shizhao tremble, but there is a kind of excitement of exploration, it seems a brand new The world is right in front of you.

Bai always led him to lead the way, his steps were not rushed, leaving enough time for Li Zhizun to observe, but he always remained sufficiently vigilant. Then he stopped and handed Li Zhizhao a red fruit.

Li Zhizhu:?

Li Shizhao hesitated a little, since he had experience with Lan Lingguo, he did not dare to easily infer the purpose of what Baihu handed over.

Bai helplessly stuffed his mouth: "Eat it."

Li Zhizheng took a bite. The juice was abundant and sweet. Although he was thirsty for a long time, although he drank some water, he hadn't eaten any fruit for a long time. Li Zhizheng slightly bent his eyes, so Baihu was here. Feeding?

Li Shizheng glanced at him suspiciously. It seems that this white tiger is really familiar with this place. He should have stayed here for a long time before going to the southern jungle.

Perhaps he finally arrived at his destination, or perhaps the white tiger next to him feels more reliable and safer. This relaxed pace of travel has made Li Zhixun, who has been struggling, a rare experience. The pleasure of emptying the brain, it seems that those emotions and plans have disappeared invisible, only need to appreciate the vivid scenery around.

It was then that he suddenly realized that he himself had put too much burden on himself for a long time, and there were too many things in his mind, so he couldn't catch his breath. People who have run for a long distance without a load of tens of kilograms will not truly appreciate the joy of walking empty-handed. He found that this continent may be **** or cruel, but under the fair law of the weak and the strong, there is also a calming side of the soul, as long as you Ken calmly unloaded the heavy burden.

What is terrible is never the hardships and dangers of the road ahead, but the burdens that you impose on yourself when you face these hardships. It will not increase the motivation to move forward, but will slow down your pace and suffocate you. Perhaps only nature has such a charm, she can show you the cruelest truth, and can also give you the most tranquil comfort.

Bai suddenly stopped under a big tree. Li Zhizhen saw the familiar blue Lingguo again. Without saying anything, Li Zhizhen took it off and smeared it on his body.

Then Bai moved lightly to a big tree on his body, and Li Zhixun was a little surprised, because even in the original jungle, Baihu rarely needed to pass in the air like Li Zhixun, and his powerful strength allowed him Deinonychus was the one who had been walking in the jungle all the time, and it was estimated that Deinonychus would have caused him a little trouble, and he was also miserable later.

So, what is ahead? Do you want Baihu to avoid it so cautiously?

Li Shizhao didn't make a sound, and even Baihu's movements had to be lightened. He had better keep quiet.

The vegetation in this forest is also very luxuriant, and the distance between the big trees is not far, so it looks very deep. From time to time, there are various calls of birds or dinosaurs that are difficult to distinguish between the two people. It was about a dozen meters before he motioned to stop.

Then there is the familiar rhythm of Li Zhixun using meteor claws and vines to dangle forward.

Bai's jumping ability is probably much better than Li Shizhao's. He can come and go freely on these big trees without the help of any tools.

Suddenly there was the sound of chewing branches and leaves from under the tree. Bai seemed to hear something. With a gesture, Li Shizun rode on a branch and concealed himself.

A triceratops gradually left the group along the branches and leaves of the shrubs, chewing under the tree, Li Zhizhen instinctively felt that the reminder of the white tiger was not easy, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he licked his lips, just now the sweetness of the fruit It seemed that it still remained on his lips, but it didn't relieve his tension a little.

The rhythmic pace came from far away, and Bai, Li Shizhen and the Triceratops under the tree cast their eyes in the same direction at the same time.

Suddenly, the triceratops began to run back towards the group, but its huge size and heavy body made it not move so quickly. At this time, the sound of its steps was getting closer and closer.

Li Shizhao once again witnessed the scene of Tyrannosaurus vs. Triceratops, and once again understood their purpose of climbing the tree. There are too many large herbivores and carnivores in this land.

This triceratops was not unjustly defeated. This is obviously a very experienced tyrannosaurus. The rhythm and timing of the attack are very well grasped. This triceratops has no time to escape to the group, otherwise it will face the violence. Dragon, exposed his weaknesses.

This tyrannosaurus bit the sharp horns on its head and shook fiercely, and the triceratops was also struggling fiercely. This is almost the strongest bite force of the land overlord to deal with the toughest neck muscles of the herbivore, the tree on the tree. Shizhao can even see the strong muscles bulging on the Tyrannosaurus, and every time the footsteps of both sides move, the treetops will vibrate.

This confrontation soon ended with the arrival of another tyrannosaurus, it simply rushed behind the triceratops, biting hard behind its shield bones.

A strong smell of blood permeated the woods. This was not the first time Li Shizhao saw a Tyrannosaurus hunting, but it was the first time he watched the whole process concisely and powerfully, without any unnecessary tactics. Obviously this is a pair of Tyrannosaurus couples with long-term cooperation and rich hunting experience.

Perhaps it was not Li Shizhen’s first experience with Tyrannosaurus, perhaps because of the difference in perspective, or perhaps he became more brave and firm after his mentality matured. At first he was a little nervous, but slowly, his The heartbeat returned to its normal speed, and he watched the predator under the tree calmly and intently.

Yes, the predator, he is also a predator, they are peers, and the opponent is stronger than him and the white tiger, but they are not necessarily as cunning and scheming as they are. Compared with them, they may not necessarily lose.

Bai Zai quietly observed the situation under the tree, and did not miss Li Shizhen’s changes. Seeing the female next to him gradually calmed down, thinking about his panic expression last time, white and blue eyes passed by. A hint of approval and joy.

Li Shizhao silently watched the tyrannosaurus biting their prey, but he didn't expect this to be just the beginning.

The **** blood caused by the torn artery of an adult Triceratops is almost like the most powerful stimulant in the woods. For large carnivores, the signal is "Come on, come on, and have a free lunch." Oh~"

When the third tyrannosaurus came rumblingly, Li Shizhen was extremely surprised. You know, top predators like Tyrannosaurus should not only have territorial awareness, but the consumption of prey to feed them within a certain range is also huge, which is why the stronger the predator, the wider the territories they need.

This is a natural choice. If you are not strong enough to hold the territory that can satisfy your consumption, you can only starve to death and be eliminated mercilessly. Those who survive must be the predators who can defend their territory and feed themselves.

In the situation that he had never seen before, Li Shizhen stared at him without blinking, which only showed that the density of the herbivores nearby was too high, attracting too many predators.

Thinking of those two tyrannosaurus migrating northward, Li Shizhao frowned slightly. I don't know how many top predators still exist in this land.

The feeling of a tyrannosaurus is trembling and horror, and the scene of the two tyrannosaurus screaming, threatening, looking at and dealing with each other is even more frightening.

From the physical aspect of these two tyrannosaurus, the later one was slightly smaller, probably not long in adulthood, and did not have a fixed mate, but the ferocious nature of the tyrannosaurus would not change because of age, probably because of age. Reason, this tyrannosaurus looks more aggressive.

It actively roared at the older tyrannosaurus, showing its strong mandibular muscles and sharp teeth. Its powerful tail slapped the ground fiercely, and the mud splashed, leaving behind irregularly shaped shallows. pit.

Presumably past experience tells it that such a display of force will make its opponent abandon its prey, however, it may not be so lucky this time.

The two tyrannosaurus speeded up and bite towards each other, the young one biting each other's upper and lower palate fiercely, and the older one did not let go of the other's lower palate. Between the two sturdy and powerful necks, Li Shizhao swayed. The blood sprayed out from the tree was clearly seen, spraying radially on the surrounding ground like a large watering can.

The female dragon watching by the side quickly rushed up to bite the enemy's hind legs when the two males were fighting each other. The bite was so forceful that Li Zhixun on the tree could clearly hear it as if it was a giant gate. The dull sound of closing tightly.

"Oh--" The tragic howling resounded through the entire forest, alarming countless pterosaurs and birds. Li Shizhao felt his thighs twitched and sore.

The two tyrannosauruses had loosened their biting palate due to the female dragon’s attack, but the female dragon’s bite never loosened. Seeing that the momentum is not to bite off a piece of meat and never relax, the young tyrannosaurus was bitten. It was so miserable that Li Shizun felt terrible. So, sure enough, when the females are aggressive, the males have to retreat.

The female dragon bitten the opponent's left leg and pulled it. Seeing that this tyrannosaurus could not support one leg, the center of gravity was unstable and tilted and was about to fall. Between the electric light and flint, the older tyrannosaurus rushed forward. He raised his chin and gave the opponent a fierce impact.

Li Zhizhen clearly saw that the huge body of the young tyrannosaurus flew at least three meters away because of this impact. You must know that such a huge body had to fly such a distance, that the older tyrannosaurus had to How much effort was used!

The bad luck of the young tyrannosaurus did not end, or it ended soon. Its neck fell on the sharp corners of the triceratops corpse. With great momentum, it came across, and the arteries suddenly sprayed high. Blood Spring, it twitched twice quickly and then stopped moving.

Li Shizhao clearly felt the ground and the big tree dozens of meters high where he was trembling from the fall of the tyrannosaurus just now. This is the power of giant beasts, whether it is a triceratops or a tyrannosaurus, even if it dies, it will bring a lot of shock and influence to the surroundings.

Only then did the two tyrannosaurus return to the triceratops corpse to watch and continue to enjoy their delicious meal. Pieces of huge muscles were torn from the triceratops body, and the tyrannosaurus didn't even chew much. He just lifted his neck and swallowed a few times. Go down.

The whole process of eating was not slow. After the two tyrannosaurus filled their necks and left, Li Zhizhen left quickly under Bai's leadership.

Li Shizhao also gradually recollected that this place is rich in resources, but it also seems to be extremely dangerous. Tyrannosauruses are all spawned in groups. Is it really no problem to stay here?

He glanced at the white tiger in front of him suspiciously, this guy didn't explain anything to him, he fell!

Gradually, the trees they climbed became sparser, and it seemed that there was a relatively open place in front of them.

The sound of water resounded in Li Zhizhu's ear again, and the sound of the water became louder and louder, and he thought that there must be an even greater current in front of him. Suddenly, Bai stopped and smiled back at him when he reached the edge, jumped off the tree, and stretched out his hand to signal him to jump down.

Li Shizhu nodded and slowly moved down from the tree. He is not a cat, but nine lives or something.

Bai shook his head helplessly and dragged him to move on. When he came to a mountain col, he stopped and showed a sly and brilliant smile at Li Shizhen, like a urchin who secretly hid some treasure. I can’t wait to offer treasures.

Bai let go of his hand, gently stretched his arm around behind him, and pushed him, Li Shizhen turned out of the mountain, the white world in front of him was stunned.

It was only at this moment that he deeply understood why countless animals traveled thousands of miles without fear of difficulties and dangers just to come back here again, and his heart was once again full of shock and awe of nature.

The huge sound of water made Li Shizhen’s ears faintly ache. He looked up, and his eyes were full of water curtains falling rapidly from the sky, mixed with countless foam and snow. Li Shizhen looked up and looked up at him. When his hat fell to the ground, he saw the snow-white top meet the blue sky.

The noon sun is very dazzling, this waterfall really seems to pour down from the end of the endless high sky, and outline a circle of colorful halo in the air. It is the most basic and simple color, and the most beautiful in the world. Colors.

Countless large and small pterosaurs built their nests on the cliffs next to the waterfall, or dazzling or strong membrane wings hovering beside that water train.

The abundant water curtain rushed into the big river underneath with countless snow-white waves, rushing into a thunderous rhythm. In the distance, the abundant water stream reflected the scorching sun, and it seemed that the liquid metal was flowing with shining light waves, and the opposite bank could not be seen at a glance. , Called Li Shizhao amazed.

Farther on the other side, Li Shizhen saw an endless green field. The endless peaks at the end of the green field were covered with endless white snow. In his vision, the three colors of blue, green, and white were intertwined, but it was the most magnificent in the world. , The most unpredictable, most majestic splicing and change, let Li Shizhao the gods.

In the lower reaches of the waterfall and river, countless herbivores drink freely for food; in the sky, countless pterosaurs and birds are hovering; in the river, you can see big fish jumping up from time to time.

The sound of water, the sound of flapping wings, and the chirping of animals are so harmoniously and beautifully intertwined.

Expanding the end of the line of sight, such a vast river will cover an unimaginable area, nourish countless lands, feed countless lives, and finally merge into the endless ocean.

Such a majestic and majestic scene suddenly moved Li Zhizheng. Perhaps, all the animals traveled thousands of miles to fulfill a promise to this land, a promise made since ancient times, and a promise printed on all animals. In the blood, in the genes, the promise passed on from generation to generation.

Even though this land is dangerous and there are countless challenges, the pulsation of life under the current makes all the animals willing to go through hardships and obstacles. They travel thousands of miles in order to return to her again.

Reaching out the drops of water splashed on his face, Li Shizhao looked back and smiled at Bai, then shouted with his loudest voice: "It's so beautiful!"

Bai's answer was a long and long roar that echoed between the heavens and the earth. It seemed to announce to the land here, that he had returned here again alive as agreed, and that he had returned to the starting point of his journey. It seemed to announce a brand new but far-reaching impact. begin.

A long, clear cry resounded like a response. In the sound of the booming water, like a vague whisper, it seemed like an illusion, Li Shizun suddenly turned his head, on the other side, among a group of long-necked silhouettes, there was one with a back The figure of the schoolbag craned his neck and looked at them from a distance. Upon listening carefully, the long whispering sound seemed to be "Long time no see."

Li Shizhao's smile was like a cloud, and the fog was washed away. It seemed that the exhaustion, fear, and hardship on the migration road were all washed away by this clear greeting at this moment. Difficulties, thousands of miles, I’m so glad you are still waiting for us, my friend, long time no see.
