Chapter 66: Little Benbi
The Pterodactyl was far faster than them, and it looked like it was about to be overtaken.
Zhao Xiaoan found the tree hole next to the branch, and it was an inspiration!
Since squirrels and some insects can survive in tree hollows.
Then Zhao Xiaoan is not impossible.
The red pine here has grown for more than 1,000 years, and the trunk is thick, and the hole in the tree must not be small!
Behind a small hill, if you can temporarily avoid the sight of the pterodactyl, then you have a chance to hide in a tree hole.
As expected, there are tree holes in several tree branches behind the hillside, but there seem to be small animals living inside!
But I can't care about that much!
Zhao Xiaoan and Mei Xu found a tree hole, immediately withdrew their wings, and bent down to get in.
The smell in the tree hole is really bad, the smell of old rotten wood, but at this time, I can only hold it!
The pterosaur wandered around the hillside for a while, and Zhao Xiaoan could only suppress his breath to the lowest level, breathing extremely slowly.
Fortunately, the smell in the tree hole was very strong, and his breath was successfully hidden.
And there's a squirrel in that tree hole!
He almost didn't slap it to death when he went in...
So they, one man and one beast, began to look at each other affectionately......
It lasted for a whole minute, and then there was a follow-up...
But now the crisis has been resolved, but it's just an appetizer!
Zhao Xiaoan looked forward on the hillside, and the dense trees in the forest blocked the road ahead, so just by looking at it, he couldn't predict the danger early.
So I can only take one step at a time.
Although Zhao Xiaoan doesn't like to fight unprepared battles, he can only choose this now.
Mei Xu was also relieved at this time: "It's safe..."
Zhao Xiao'an and Mio walked towards the interior of the forest.
At the same time, pay attention to the wind and grass around you and in the sky.
If they were caught by dinosaurs or pterosaurs again, it would be a futile and a waste of time.
After walking for another three to five minutes, I didn't touch a single dinosaur!
Looking for Xiao An secretly glad at the same time, his hands also itched, as if anyone could just hold on, and it was true that he wanted to fight with dinosaurs!
Besides, you can improve the team's cooperation a little, and the loot is definitely not bad!
At this time, Zhao Xiaoan saw a black shadow jumping down on a red pine tree in front of him!
Gliding towards the ground, wings flapping.
The shadow doesn't look like a dinosaur, but it's not a squirrel!
The squirrel definitely doesn't have its large and flat body.
But it is not ruled out that it is a dinosaur, after all, there are many types of dinosaurs, not only large dinosaurs, such as those that are 10 meters tall and weigh several tons.
And there are also small dinosaurs! The height is less than one meter, and the weight is only a few tens of kilograms...
Even if it is a dinosaur, but with such a size, Zhao Xiaoan is not afraid.
But it is not necessary to startle the snake, if it is appropriate, then it can be hunted!
Zhao Xiaoan gestured to Meixu, who also understood.
Slowed down, suppressed his breath, and slowly walked towards the unidentified creature.
Getting closer, I finally got a full view of the creature.
The edges and tips of the feathers are black, and the rest of the feathers are very pale in color, the size of an eagle, and they don't look the same...
Zhao Xiaoan took out the built-in software of "taking pictures and recognizing animals" that came with the system, and pointed the camera at the little bird.
The system starts focusing, and the words appear: Analyzing.
Soon, three seconds later, the results came in: Archaeopteryx, Dinosaur Downorder...
There is a long list of introductions, but the two most important ones are: meat! Able to fly a little...
Zhao Xiaoan looked at these two pieces of information, and was also a little puzzled, what does it mean to be able to fly a little? It seems to be the first time I've seen this kind of vocabulary.
Zhao Xiao'an and Mei Xu hid behind a thick red pine, carefully observing the Archaeopteryx, hoping to gain something.
It has a bird-like head, claws, teeth, and a reptilian approximation, and a long tail. None of these traits seem to indicate that it is a ferocious carnivore.
The Archaeopteryx didn't notice the two humans approaching, and was still happily flying up and down...
It flapped its wings and seemed to be trying hard to fly towards the branch of the red pine, which seemed to have an insect crawling slowly.
Unaware of the danger, the Archaeopteryx flapped its wings, and the red pine leaves piled up under the tree were flapped in all directions, but it flicked its wings more than three times in a second.....
But it is enough to say the difference.
"I think this is a pheasant..."Zhao Xiaoan said teasingly.
Mio was silent on the side, hoping that the Archaeopteryx would bring a little surprise.
Even ordinary birds don't fly as bulky as this Archaeopteryx.
Although the name has "bird" in it, the class difference can also be seen...
In the end, the insect did not escape the prey of the Archaeopteryx, but the Archaeopteryx did not even use its claws, but only swallowed the insect with its long beak.
"Look, Archaeopteryx seems to be pretty powerful," Mio said with a slight surprise.
"Just eat a worm, can you go to heaven?" Zhao Xiaoan said with some disdain.
"Hmph, we'll see." Mio was a little unconvinced.
Immediately, the two did not argue, and continued to watch this "wonderful massacre".
The Archaeopteryx chirped in satisfaction after eating the little bug.
Then he looked around.
Seems to be looking for the next target...
At this time, another red pine tree was on the ground, and a bug with a carapace was burrowing into the hollow of the tree.
And Archaeopteryx captured it all.
That red pine seems to be twenty meters away from this red pine!
For birds, this distance is not far, and with two gentle flicks of the wings, you can enjoy that fat shelled bug!
The bug writhed like a cabbage worm.
The shell of the body can also replenish calcium.
This was obviously a great temptation for that Archaeopteryx!
It doesn't seem to be able to wait for a moment to let this fat beetle slip away!
It flew towards the red pine twenty meters away, flapping its wings in an effort.
There was a shrill cry.
Ten meters from the tree, Archaeopteryx's claws clutched wildly in the air.
There are still five meters, and the Archaeopteryx "blushed", as if it was fighting for the last fight!
Two meters! It works.
Mio's eyes were straight at this time, and she was silently cheering for the Archaeopteryx in her heart.
Zhao Xiaoan looked at this scene, looked at Mio's focused eyes, yawned lazily, and was about to fall asleep when he was bored.
Half a meter, the beetle seemed to react, and crawled towards the tree hole with all its might, and let out a desperate wail in his heart, is it impossible to escape death today?
Mio was about to blow the horn of victory at this time.
But......
Everything is very unreal.
The moment the Archaeopteryx rubbed its claws against the branches, it stepped into the air!
A small piece of bark was crossed out, leaving three shallow scratches.
The center of gravity of the whole body is also deviated.
The Archaeopteryx's face slammed into the branch, only to hear a "bang" and hit it squarely!
The Archaeopteryx screamed miserably, and its body fell straight down, no matter how much it flapped its wings, it could only let out a mournful roar.
And that bug is long gone...
When Zhao Xiaoan saw this scene, he was about to burst into laughter, this may not even be a pheasant, it can only be regarded as a broiler...
Before Zhao Xiaoan could speak, Meixu covered her face and said, "What a little stupid..."
"What am I talking about? You have to think it's a phoenix, and it turns out to be a chicken. ”
"A little stupid, I can't bear to kill it." Mio lifted her forehead and sighed.
Zhao Xiaoan leaned against the big tree, and at this time he also straightened up, "Let's go, don't kill it." ”
He then bypassed the Archaeopteryx and continued into the forest.
Along the way, I saw a few more Archaeopteryx, but I lost interest in them.
The further you go into the forest, the more paw prints of the dinosaurs become, and the footprints of the basin on the ground are countless.
The footprints were deep and shallow, ranging from more than 10 centimeters deep to 2 or 3 centimeters shallow.
There are also traces of dinosaur strikes on the trees.
And the leaves of the red pine trees fell to the ground.
So far, it is unknown if they still traveled too little distance or if the dinosaurs did not live on the outskirts of the forest where birds don't.
They didn't even see a single large dinosaur.
"Pheasants" have seen quite a few.
About ten minutes later, a loud roar suddenly came from inside the forest, accompanied by a violent vibration of footsteps on the ground!
Zhao Xiaoan and Mio stopped and listened carefully to the source of the sound.
Maybe it's a big guy, and the roar and the power of the earth shaking can't be compared to a mere pheasant...
The footsteps seem to be getting closer, and there is more to it than a dinosaur! Two? Three? Or more?
Zhao Xiaoan frowned, and the footsteps were obviously coming straight in their direction.
Could it be exposed?! But this also seems unlikely.
Or is it a dinosaur hunt or a dinosaur walk after dinner?
The footsteps seemed to be close to them.
Anyway, just hide first.
"Mio, let's go up to the tree and hide first!"
The two of them then spread their wings and flew up to the twenty-meter-high branch.
Observe the place where the footsteps come from.
Now I can only see the red pine 100 meters away shaking its body slightly, but I can't see the dinosaur...
You can feel the vibrations even when you stand on the branches, and it looks like a big guy.
Zhao Xiaoan couldn't help but look forward to seeing where the big dinosaurs were sacred?
The red pine forests shook from far and near.
The "brushing" of the leaves and the loud sound of hitting the trunk of the tree also became clearer and clearer.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and the last leaf that covered the dinosaur slid past his sight.
It was finally presented in front of Zhao Xiaoan's eyes.
It's true!
It's not plastic, it's not a projection, it's not an illusion.
A truly large carnivorous dinosaur with strong limbs, a massive torso, claws that tear everything apart, and the thick soles of its feet!
Dinosaurs have dominated the earth for tens of millions of years.
It seems more realistic than a real dinosaur!
