Chapter 323: Top Carnivore

Is the evolution of human beings a natural coincidence, or is it the influence of other factors?

If before, Chen Shi thought that this problem was as boring as the anthropic principle, but now, he has to think that the evolution of human beings is probably not natural selection, but has undergone obvious interference.

Chen Shi thought about it, walked forward, and when he was about to get closer, the wise man finally came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Chen Shi, and immediately shouted in horror.

I don't know what they are shouting, and even the Homo sapiens who have not even formed words and languages, I am afraid that even they themselves do not know the meaning of what their companions are shouting, but such exclamations are still very eye-catching in this cold and silent valley.

If you go up to the grass on the left, there is a cave in the middle of the mountain, and because it is sloping, it will not allow rain to penetrate it, so it is a great place.

With the frightened cries of this Homo sapiens, more than a dozen unscrupulous Homo sapiens rushed out, armed with some bone sticks that the beast had missed, as well as weapons made of flint bound with wooden sticks.

Early Homo sapiens certainly did not dare to hunt large carnivores, and they did not know whether they would make traps, but they must have little guts, they looked at Chen Shi, a "towering" monster, frightened and did not dare to approach, and there was still a distance of more than ten meters from Chen Shi, so they stopped.

The height of this group of Homo sapiens is basically only about one meter three, and the tallest one is only one meter four, in comparison, Chen Shi can be described as a giant, especially when he is wearing a gamma suit, compared with this group of primitive people who can hardly be called modern humans, the gap is too big, even Homo sapiens seem to feel it.

They cowered and huddled, holding bone sticks in their hands but not daring to really attack Chen, and even the Homo sapiens who had screamed in terror before stopped speaking, and ran back to the group of Homo sapiens.

"This is the ancestor of mankind?"

Chen Shi didn't know what words to use to describe the thoughts in his mind at this time, but he only felt that it was really not easy for human beings to develop from such a primitive living situation to modern times, and even to the point of colonizing alien planets in the 25th century.

He also said that it should be too powerful.

He carefully looked at the Homo sapiens who had been touched by the mysterious man, and did not see any special changes in it, unlike the previous Australopithecus, which immediately had an obvious change in upright walking, and he had no choice but to give up.

"I didn't have time to catch that mysterious man, I should have been sent away, right?"

The man who claimed to be his future had said that he wanted him to find the cube, but now that the cube was in the hands of that mysterious man, he rushed to fight for it, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think it was good.

Possible...... No, you can't beat it, right?

Wait, why did he have to follow that man's words? Why do you want to scramble for cubes? Since the mysterious man may be a human in the 25th century, he can try to communicate, and if the two sides can start a conversation, maybe many puzzles can be solved.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Shi's heart perked up, and he couldn't wait to meet that mysterious person.

In this way, he was not interested in learning about these Homo sapiens, and turned around and strode away.

But after only a few steps, he heard the frightened shouts of the Homo sapiens behind him, unlike the previous Homo sapiens who cowered at him with a little curiosity about the unknown, this time, they were from the heart of fear, as if they had encountered some natural predator.

Chen Shi turned his head and was taken aback.

Just a few hundred meters away, with slender limbs and flattened feet, the smaller saber teeth of a cheetah-like carnivore spread out in its mouth, making it chilling just to look at.

Although it resembles a cheetah, its body is much stronger than a cheetah, like a bear, but its streamlined body shape and explosive power are definitely also very strong.

Such a carnivore is stronger than the deterrent power of a tiger, and even a few hundred meters away makes people feel a sense of despair that cannot be escaped.

Well, Chen Shi didn't, just kidding, what terrible xenos he hadn't seen in Xindi-36?

Much more informed, such a carnivore is as cute as a kitten.

"Sabertooth Tiger?"

Chen Shi narrowed his field of vision dozens of times, was stunned for a moment, and then denied: "The saber teeth are very short, not a saber-toothed tiger, but a sawtooth tiger." ”

Chinese scientific name: like a saber-toothed tiger!

It belongs to the subfamily Saber-toothed tigers.

This carnivore is widely distributed in Eurasia, Africa and North America, which is quite common, similar to the saber-toothed tiger, most of them became extinct tens of thousands of years ago, for the early apes and Homo erectus, the saber-toothed tiger is almost invincible, even in the early Homo sapiens, it is difficult to deal with the saber-toothed tiger and other top carnivores.

It wasn't until late Homo sapiens that he was gradually able to deal with saber-toothed tigers. However, judging from the excavated remains, there are not many saber-toothed tiger bones in the cave** of late Homo sapiens, which shows that it is still not easy to deal with saber-toothed tigers.

Compared with the saber-toothed tiger that is alone and ambushes the enemy, the cousin of the saber-toothed tiger is many times more terrifying, just because the saber-toothed tiger is large and not fast, and can only ambush the prey alone, while the sawtooth tiger is small in size and extremely fast, and the general prey cannot escape at all, so they like to hunt straight forward.

This also leads to the sawtooth tiger being a carnivore that moves in groups.

The excavated fossils show that the sawtooth tiger is like a lion, often dozens of people gather together, act together to hunt prey, they are not as good as the saber-toothed tiger, but they are still more powerful than the modern tiger lion, plus the group activity, the saber-toothed tiger can only die when it encounters these cousins.

In the documentaries that Chen Shi has seen, the sawtooth tiger is made with 3D special effects, most of which are scientific imagination of humans based on fossils, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the 3D special effects of humans did not restore the true appearance of the sawtooth tiger.

The appearance of the real sawtooth tiger is much more vicious, and if it is put into modern times, several wild tigers together may not be able to defeat it.

Sure enough, a sawtooth tiger would never act alone, and as it noticed the Homo sapiens here, it slowly stopped the soft meat pad, followed by a dozen sawtooth tigers.

Chen Shi counted them, and there were a total of 17 sawtooth tigers.

All of them are bigger than adult male lions!

It's a, the Homo sapiens are dead, no, even if they are given a long knife made of steel, they are almost dead.

Without the use of traps and thermal weapons, just such a small number of people, 17 sawtooth tigers in hard steel on the front, there is no second ending.

I think that Homo sapiens can also recognize this ending, but it is better to say that in daily life, and even the experience left by their ancestors, they are full of fear in the face of the sawtooth tiger, their legs tremble, not to mention rushing head-on, and they can hardly resist one by one.
