Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Flame Wall
"What is it doing?" Duan Mo asked in a low voice.
Wang Ruoyi pondered for a moment, "Maybe it's waiting? Hunters always have to observe the state of their prey before hunting." We...... Do you want to go first?"
Duan Mo looked back at the Triceratops and Zhu Xingxing, "But if we leave now, what will the Triceratops do?" It is already unconscious, this Rapraptor will definitely not let go of the Triceratops. ”
Wang Ruoyi and Duan Mo were in a dilemma, while the velociraptor stood on the opposite bank without hurry, as if waiting for something.
"I have a sense of foreboding...... Duan Mo muttered. Somehow, the action of the velociraptor standing on the opposite shore and watching seemed to be more terrifying than rushing up and biting.
"Anyway, get ready for battle. Duan Mo wrapped the leather armor on his body tightly, turned around and urged, "Zhu Xingxing, can you hurry up?"
Zhu Xingxing asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
"There's a velociraptor on the other side. Duan Mo said expressionlessly.
"What?" Zhu Xingxing immediately became nervous, she quickly stood up, "Then let's run!"
"Run, run, run. Duan Mo frowned, "Let's run away, didn't this triceratops give it away for nothing?" It took so much effort to stun it, and now that it's about to succeed, I'm reluctant to let it die." ”
However, it was at this moment that he finally understood what the velociraptor was waiting for.
Not far behind the velociraptor was a forest, and in the forest, several dark shadows could be faintly seen approaching.
"It's waiting for its kind!" Duan Mo suddenly realized, "This guy lives in groups? That's not what the movie says!"
Wang Ruoyi said coldly: "The movie didn't say that we can tame dinosaurs. ”
Duan Mo retreated a little. If there was only one velociraptor in general, he and Wang Ruoyi might be able to kill each other, but if a group came, he and Wang Ruoyi would have no choice.
"Damn, today is really unlucky!" Duan Mo gritted his teeth and scolded, turned to Zhu Xingxing and said, "Let's go first!"
"Huh?" Zhu Xingxing was obviously reluctant, "It's about to be completed! We have spent so much ***, how can we just leave!"
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Duan Mo urged: "Don't be stunned, they have been assembled, and they may rush over at any time!"
Zhu Xingxing reluctantly glanced at the huge triceratops beside him, this big guy was still asleep, if Duan Mo and the others left, it would definitely die.
"Give me another twenty minutes...... Zhu Xingyang begged, "Even if we can't tame the triceratops, we can't let it be eaten alive!"
Zhu Xingxing's plea made Duan Mo's position waver. He was reluctant to give up - capturing this triceratops cost him a lot of strength, and next time I was afraid it wouldn't be so easy.
"I think you can fight. Wang Ruoyi also said: "The velociraptor is very smart, as long as we can make it understand that the difference in strength between the two sides is not big, they will not risk being injured and fighting with us." ”
"But how can we make them think we're powerful?" Duan Mo asked, "To the velociraptors, we're just a piece of moving meat. ”
"Did you bring fire powder?" asked Wang Ruoyi.
Duan Mo nodded, and then immediately understood what Wang Ruoyi meant.
Fire is the existence that is most capable of intimidating other animals.
This time to capture the triceratops, Duan Mo brought almost all his belongings with him, naturally including the ignition powder accumulated in the past few days. The yellow, pungent smell of the powder was lying in his skin pocket.
If these ignition powders were spread on the ground, they would be able to stop the attack of the velociraptors when ignited, and in the eyes of these beasts, fire was definitely a great existence that could not be offended.
The night was getting darker and darker, and a few dark clouds drifted in the sky at some point, obscuring the moonlight. Duan Mo said just do it, and immediately sprinkled the ignition powder around the triceratops, forming a safe zone, but the amount of ignition powder was still too small, and how long it could last after ignition was a question.
But at this time, Mo didn't care about this, because the group of velociraptors in the distance was already ready to move, and they walked back and forth on the river bank, letting out a few roars from time to time, and their voices were full of restlessness.
"Ten minutes left!" Zhu Xingxing also felt the tense atmosphere in the air, and she kept stroking the head of the triceratops, hoping to speed up the taming.
Just when Duan Mo finished spreading the ignition powder, the velociraptor group finally couldn't bear it anymore. The reason why they stayed on the other side of the river for so long was because they were afraid of the Triceratops lying on the ground, the strong body of the Triceratops, which could pose a great threat to them.
After a long period of observation, they finally determined that the triceratops had lost the ability to move for some reason. As for the humans, they look so fragile that they can turn them into their own dinner with just a single bite.
The group of velociraptors slowly waded across the river, approaching Duan Mo and the others step by step, each of their steps brought great psychological pressure to Duan Mo, Duan Mo held a torch in one hand and a spear in the other, and when the velociraptor stepped on the river bank, he lit the fire powder.
The flames rose instantly, accompanied by the sound of "hissing", and spread into a circle, covering Duan Mo and the others and the triceratops.
The scene apparently frightened the velociraptors, and their progress immediately stopped, and their sly eyes stared at the firelight with a puzzled look.
They stopped five or six meters away from the fire circle, looked at the raging fire vigilantly, and did not dare to take half a step forward.
However, although the flames temporarily blocked the progress of the dragon group, it could not completely dispel their idea of hunting and killing Duan Mo. A low, threatening roar erupted from their throats, and their eyes stared at Duan Mo deadly, causing a cold sweat to break out on Duan Mo's back.
Seeing this, Duan Mo immediately pulled out the bow on his back. Although *** has been consumed, Duan Mo still has a lot of ordinary stone arrows on his body, and he can rely on the protection of the fire ring to shoot one or two velociraptors with stone arrows first.
The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, Duan Mo shot an arrow, and naturally hit the body of a velociraptor steadily, the velociraptor felt the pain, first looked around, and after roaring twice into the air, he found that he did not have any enemies around him, so he fell into confusion.
However, the intelligence of the velociraptor was much higher than that of other dinosaurs, and as Duan Mo's second and third stone arrows were fired, they quickly realized that the pain on their bodies came from the human behind the flames.
Then their movements greatly exceeded Duan Mo's expectations, and they actually began to retreat in a very orderly manner, and scattered around the fire as they retreated.
There were four Velociraptors in the group, including a taller Velociraptor with bright feathers that looked like their leader. And now, the leader of the velociraptor was standing directly in front of Duan Mo, and the other three dragons were blocking the other three directions.
"They've surrounded us!" Wang Ruoyi reacted immediately.
Duan Mo frowned, he never dreamed that these big lizards would actually use tactics?
They hid outside Duan Mo's attack range, watching from a distance, the darkness made Duan Mo's bow and arrow unable to hit accurately, Duan Mo shot a few times, and then reluctantly put down the longbow in his hand.
This time, Duan Mo was completely in the mouth of a tiger. After the ignition powder on the ground burned out, Duan Mo would be greeted by four ferocious velociraptors, and he could not escape with his wings.
"How long will it take?" Duan Mo was anxious, and he asked Zhu Xingxing again.
"It's right away, it's right away!" When the timid Zhu Xingxing saw the velociraptor , he was immediately frightened. How had she ever seen such a tough carnivore?
As Zhu Xingxing said, this triceratops lying on the ground seems to be about to be tamed. Its massive head was shaking slightly, already showing some signs of awakening.
"Good ......" Duan Mo's heart relaxed slightly. As long as the triceratops can be tamed, with the help of the triceratops, there is a chance of victory against these four velociraptors!
However, the speed at which the ignition powder burned greatly exceeded Duan Mo's expectations.
Just after Zhu Xingxing said "immediately", Duan Mo found that the flame on his right had begun to become weaker.
The number of ignition powder on the right side is not much, and now it is burning, and the fire is obviously not as good as just now, and the velociraptor on Duan Mo's right is also keenly aware of this phenomenon, it has the courage to take a few steps forward, and when Duan Mo raised the longbow in his hand, it immediately retreated.
This kind of temptation made Duan Mo tremble, the creature of the velociraptor was completely different from the previous carnivores, they were intelligent, cautious, full of patience and team spirit, and also had a physical advantage, Duan Mo could not take advantage of this contest at all.
Finally, after another minute of stalemate, the ignition powder on the right side was completely burned, and the flames in other directions were also getting smaller little by little.
The velociraptor monster on the right screamed twice, sounding like a sneer, and it calmly walked out of the darkness, approaching Duan Mo with a sense of oppression.
"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat......" Duan Mo threw his bow and arrow to Wang Ruoyi, and then picked up his spear.
Hand-to-hand combat with a velociraptor was simply whimsical, but Duan Mo had to make such a decision at this time. "Ruoyi, you stand back. ”
Wang Ruoyi knew that now was not the time to be polite to each other, since Duan Mo had decided to stand in front of her, she had to play her role, so she simply bent her bow and arrows, and shot three stone arrows in a row, all of which hit the velociraptor in a row.
The velociraptor on the right originally wanted to approach Duan Mo little by little, but after being shot by a stone arrow, the pain stimulated its ferocious nature, and it quickly ran and pounced on Duan Mo at an astonishing speed.
What's even more terrifying is that when this velociraptor attacked, the three velociraptors in other directions were unmoved, they just slowly approached the ring of fire, and did not intend to come to support.
It seems that they are determined to trap Duan Mo and the others here, and will never give them the slightest chance to escape.
