Chapter 37: Stegosaurus

Twilight secretly raised her vigilance, stepped forward and picked up the raised item, this was indeed the key that belonged to the south, it didn't even have any protection, it was so easily taken by Twilight, compared to the key in the east before, the difficulty between the two was heaven and earth.

Well, we're talking about the difficulty of obtaining, not the difficulty of getting here.

I don't know how many years this key has been quietly placed here, the surface is covered with a thick layer of black ash, if it weren't for the fact that the target here is so eye-catching, and this key is the size of a palm, Twilight Star would not have been able to detect it, because this is near the volcano, and the thick ash has already completely hidden this key and the small platform where it was placed under the dust.

"Whew~~~"

"Ahem~~"

Twilight held the key up and blew on it, and the thick dust on the key turned into dust, choking Twilight Star's cough.

"I'm so stupid, really!" Twilight coughed and grumbled, swearing he would never do such a stupid thing again, how nice it would be to clean it with water or light magic, blow a hammer, it's really too much adventure movie.

Quickly leaving the dusty area, Twilight didn't want to stay here for a moment after finding what he needed, and walked straight to the hole in the rock wall behind him.

A white light lit up in Twilight's hand to illuminate a pitch-black tunnel, and then he drilled into it, this tunnel was indeed an exit to the outside world, because Twilight could clearly feel the rising slope when he walked inside, unless there was any magic or spatial situation, he should be able to walk to the surface in a short time, after all, although this is the inside of the volcano, it is actually very close to the surface, after all, this cave is built by the edge.

Twilight felt a little disoriented as she walked through the tunnel, but luckily there was only one way, otherwise she might have lost her way.

After nearly half an hour of fumbling around, Twilight finally saw the light, which was a few rays of sunlight shining through the hole in front of him, shining into several circular points of light on the walls of the tunnel, and the exit should be in front of him.

After "Hu ~~~~~" pushed open a stone door that had been sealed for an unknown amount of time, the gray-faced Twilight finally breathed the air outside, although it was still near the volcano, and the temperature was scorching, but at least there was no need to absorb ash, and the vegetation outside was lush, and the air was still very fresh.

After walking out of the tunnel, Twilight quickly released the light magic to clean himself, and suddenly felt that the whole person seemed to be a little lighter, and his breathing was smoother, and when he returned, he must learn a magic such as a shield of light, even if he has no protective ability, he can also isolate the dust and the like from the outside world.

After the magic was cast, Twilight raised his head and carefully identified the direction, this is the foot of the volcanic mountain, not too far from the direction he came, it is still easy to identify, Twilight Star found the direction and went straight to the high mountain in the west, now the time is pressing, he can't allow him to ink slowly, get the key one step earlier and complete it all one step earlier.

He wanted to see what was going on on the hill that shot out a dark green beam, and the reason why he didn't go directly to it, but first got four keys to unlock the seal of the tower and take out the brand, was because he had already seen from the previous murals that the sign was probably the key to entering the base.

Maybe it's something like a key, the first time those ancient people entered the building and took out the sign, and after that, only the person holding the sign could go in again, so Twilight felt that if he didn't get it, he would probably be turned away if he went there.

He doesn't think he has the ability to forcibly break in, just the buildings of that ancient civilization can't be destroyed at all, not to mention the base of the scientific and technological civilization that seems to be more powerful and mysterious, and there are such terrifying beam weapons inside, the security must be more stringent, it is absolutely impossible to enter without a key, the reason why those ancient people were able to enter at the beginning is probably because the key itself is inserted there, because of the key, the door itself is open, That's why those people were able to get in.

After all, according to the current signs, it seems that they have all surfaced, and the people of that technological civilization seem to have completely left this planet not long ago, and today's air defense protection mechanism is just the self-defense system of that base, their creations can still continue to work without people after so many years, and these bases and various weapons that have been operating normally for so many years can also be seen in the strength of that civilization.

……

Warm sunshine, fresh air, this is a jungle against the foot of the mountain.

A tall dinosaur followed the creek to the depths of this forest, where there was enough food to fill its stomach.

This is a very peculiar-looking dinosaur, its head is small, but its body and limbs are very thick, and on its back there are two rows of large diamond-shaped bone plates, like spikes, and four long bone spurs at the end of its tail, which looks sharp and deadly.

The newly grown ferns on both sides of the creek seemed to be one of its favorite foods, and it gradually followed the current of water, slowly enjoying its delicious food. Little does it seem to know that as one of the main sources of water for the forest, the creek will attract not only herbivorous dinosaurs like it, but also ferocious carnivorous dinosaurs.

The narrow space of the jungle affected the activities of large dinosaurs, and at the same time created the conditions for carnivorous dinosaurs to launch a surprise attack, after all, not all dinosaurs could have the strong bodies of the two carnivorous dinosaurs that Twilight had seen before, and could casually break through the tall trees around them.

Two carnivorous dinosaurs with a height of seven meters followed the sound that the stegosaurus had just made to the side of the stream, and they watched the stegosaurus through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the trees.

The stegosaurus was unaware of the two enemies not far from him, and even its original keen sense of smell was invalidated by the smell of earth and plants in the air, and there seemed to be some strange plants near the stream, which were constantly emitting some strange smells that obscured its sense of smell.

The stegosaurus was still leisurely nibbling on the plants, and the two carnivorous dinosaurs that had been tracking were ready to attack, and it walked forward with a gentle stride, rounding the flank and back of the stegosaurus.

Now they were only a dozen meters away, and the stegosaurus was still unaware of the impending danger due to the obscuration of the dense trees in the jungle.

They lowered their bodies, their claws swaying slightly in front of their chests, dagger-like teeth in their mouths glistening with a cold cold light, and the attack was about to begin.

At the moment when the stegosaurus bit down on a fern leaf, they suddenly rushed out from behind it, and they waved their claws, leaving several wounds on the back of the stegosaurus, and then one of them bit the hind legs of the stegosaurus.

The stegosaurus howled in panic and twisted its body, trying to hit the incoming foe with the bone spurs on its tail, but the experienced predators had already guessed the next move of the stegosaurus, and they jumped to the side with agility after the attack, dodging the deadly bone spurs on the tail of the stegosaurus, but this also deprived them of the opportunity to take advantage of the stegosaurus's panic to attack continuously.

Now that the stegosaurus has finally seen the true face of the enemy, the pain in its back has made it unusually sober, and after seeing the appearance of the enemy, it already knows what to do with them next, even if the enemy has two, but it is not afraid.

I saw that it put its huge body sideways, with a spiky tail constantly dangling, ready to give the incoming enemy a thunderous blow at any time, it kept roaring, and then controlled the body to congest the capillaries on the surface of the bone plates on the back, and soon, those bone plates turned conspicuous red, which is a danger signal, it not only carries a warning meaning, the capillaries on its surface can well dissipate excess heat in the body, And these plates extend from the back of the head to the front of the tail spike, protecting almost the entire back.

The two hunters licked the blood from the corners of their mouths with their tongues, and they approached the stegosaurus again, their powerful bodies ready to pounce at any moment, trying to attack again. However, they soon discovered that this was a difficult thing to do, and the small space in the forest affected not only the stegosaurus, but also themselves, and it was difficult for them to get around behind the stegosaurus.

They decided to take the plunge, and killing the stegosaurus would be enough for them to fill their stomachs and digest for a long time.

They narrowed the distance between them and the stegosaurus, their eyes did not leave the tail with four sharp bone spurs for a moment, one of the dinosaurs was already very close to the stegosaurus, it shook its body from side to side, trying to confuse the stegosaurus and make the other party unsure of what he was going to do next, while the other was already quietly approaching from the other side.

The stegosaurus head swayed from side to side for a while, looked at this one, looked at that one, hesitated a little, the enemy scattered and approached from both sides, it began to sway from side to side a little, not knowing who to deal with first.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have been confused by himself, the dinosaur that had been swaying from side to side suddenly opened its bloody mouth and threw itself at the head of the stegosaurus.

The stegosaurus, whose nerves had been tense, reacted immediately, using its hind legs as a fulcrum, its front body retreated, and the back half of its body pressed up from the back of its enemies, including the four sharp bone spurs that grew on its tail.

The bone spurs gliding in the air at high speed cut through the skin on the dinosaur's back without pause, stabbing its muscles, and immediately blood splattered everywhere, dripping into the clear water, and the injured dinosaur quickly took a few steps back like an electric shock, out of the range of the stegosaurus, it was waiting for the joint attack of its companions.

"Roar~~" Another dinosaur saw this opportunity and pounced directly, the stegosaurus had just completed a complete set of tail flick attacks, and he didn't have time to dodge at all, and was bitten on the top of his hind legs again, and his hind legs became the target of the attack again.

The stegosaurus roared angrily, and forcibly flicked its tail past the enemy who had sneaked up on it, not only flying it upside down, but the sharp spikes on its tail made its body a blur of flesh and blood.

It can't be attacked on its hind legs anymore, it has been bloody after two consecutive attacks by the enemy, and even this time it was attacked again because it had been injured before here, which seriously affected the stegosaurus's movement of turning and flicking its tail all day, otherwise the tail just now definitely didn't just hurt the enemy.

After the stegosaurus flicked its tail back and pumped the enemy away from it, another dinosaur that had already been injured by its first attack had already taken the opportunity to pounce again, opening its bloody mouth and biting fiercely on the left back of the stegosaurus near its front legs, and in order to avoid the bone plate on the stegosaurus's back, it bit closer to the abdomen.

Affected by this attack, the stegosaurus was a little crazy, he could no longer keep calm, the fear of death continued to impact its last little instinct of calm judgment, but in order to survive, it had to rely on its own instinct to decide what to do next, and the bone plate on its back seemed to become more bright red.

The stegosaurus roared angrily and flicked its tail again, the sharp bone spurs cut through the air, and once again threw its tail on the unlucky dinosaur that had just been whipped away by him, and now it was still lying on the ground trying to stand up, and pumped it out again, this time, it completely flew out of the attack range of the stegosaurus, but at the same time, it couldn't get up again, and the stegosaurus threw it away, directly pumping its head.

Although the injuries on his body gradually worsened, the stegosaurus had already eliminated an enemy, and now it only needed to focus on dealing with the enemy around it that was constantly attacking it.

After a few more flicks, the stegosaurus paid a large price of flesh and blood to break free from its bite, throwing the enemy away from its side slightly, and then flung its tail again in the uneasy roar of this enemy, and the sharp bone spurs instantly slashed its neck, bringing up a bead of blood, and with the flick of the tail, the blood spilled onto the grass and leaves next to it, and then fell drop by drop.

"Boom~~" The dinosaur that had been crossed by the neck stopped roaring, and it couldn't scream anymore.

Eventually, both of the predators who followed the sound died at the hands of their prey, and both fell beside the stream that had become red.

"Huh~~~Frightened~~~" After solving the enemy's back, the stegosaurus gasped rapidly, its injuries were a little too heavy, and it now urgently needed to find a safe place to rest.

"Poof~"

Just when this stegosaurus was crumbling and would fall down at any time, it passed by a nearby tree, a figure suddenly jumped down from the tree, and a white light slashed through its skull at a very fast speed, leaving a deep scar on it, and the stegosaurus pupils contracted, and looked at the white light that flashed in front of him in a daze, and even the injury on his head that had just been cut has not had time to feel it, because it had just experienced a tragic battle, and now its nervous reaction speed has been reduced to the lowest point.

"Poof!"

Another sound of a long knife entering the flesh was heard, and the white light spun rapidly in the air, drawing a drawing that stabbed straight up from the jaw of the stegosaurus a month and a half later, piercing its entire head without hindrance.
