Chapter 151: Giant tortoise laying eggs
The night is like water!
On the edge of the sea-crossing bridge, the sea breeze gusts, with a hint of moistness.
There was a sound of "rushing" water in the distance, which was a little vague before, but now it was a little noisy, as if there was a huge tide rushing towards this side with an astonishing momentum, and even the sky seemed to be raining lightly.
Luo Yuan touched his face and felt a little wet.
A few minutes later, he faintly saw a huge shadow, which was stepping down the Haihe River at an extremely alarming speed, stirring up waves tens of meters high.
The shallow Haihe River, far from being able to submerge its body, huge limbs like stone piers, churning fiercely in the sea water, as it advanced at high speed, this Haihe River, which is several kilometers wide, undulated, and waves of sea water violently washed to both banks.
It wasn't until it approached the sea that Luo Yuan really saw its figure clearly.
Unlike a monitor lizard, its mutation is not serious, Luo Yuan saw its prototype at a glance, this is undoubtedly a mutated turtle, but it is quite huge, the diameter of light is thirty or forty meters, compared to it, the monitor lizard is like an inconspicuous little point.
The dark gray shell of the turtle is covered with rough obtuse horns, these obtuse horns emit a faint fluorescence in the dark, compared to ordinary turtles, its neck appears long and thick, its head looks a little deformed, its mouth is wide, and its fangs are dense, it looks extremely hideous, compared to this docile turtle, this is obviously a terrifying beast.
Luo Yuan held his breath, just glanced at it, and quickly retracted his gaze, his face was ugly. Even though the creature was still in the distance, he could feel the heavy and oppressive aura, and he glanced back at the position of the monitor lizard hundreds of meters away.
It had cowered in the corner, as if it were an illusion, and he could vaguely feel that the monitor lizard was trembling slightly.
At this time, there was a loud "boom" not far away.
The cross-sea bridge shook violently, and the steel cables with the thickness of the adult arms were twisted to the extreme under the terrifying force, sending out an unbearable ****, and then the steel cables continued to break, with terrifying kinetic energy, crossing the silent night sky at high speed, making a creepy scream, and the next moment more than a dozen sections of the bridge collapsed like dominoes.
Luo Yuan's heart was shocked, and he didn't care about the violent shaking of the bridge, grabbed the violent guardrail, and hurriedly looked down, a thick bridge pier, in the advance of the giant beast, was regarded as an inconspicuous obstacle, knocked down effortlessly, and fell apart.
His face was shocked, the piers of this kind of cross-sea bridge were extremely strong, and if he wanted to knock it down completely, ordinary ships could not do anything at all, unless they used a giant ship of tens of thousands of tons and then hit it at high speed, they would not want to knock it down.
He had thought it was a pale green creature, but now he was a little uncertain.
Luo Yuan is far from understanding marine life, and he has no concept of its situation, but it is certain that the strength of marine life is far stronger than that of land life, and the competition is more fierce.
Before the end of China, except for some special reserves and primeval forests, there were basically very few large creatures, not to mention the cities, even if it was rural, there were traces of medium and large creatures such as wolves and wild boars in the mountains in the seventies and eighties, but before the end of the world, they had long disappeared without a trace, and even rabbits were difficult to see.
Only domestic animals and pets can survive in this tongue-in-cheek country, but they were slaughtered in large numbers before they could mutate in the last days. Most of today's large creatures have mutated from small creatures, and even then, humanity has been defeated, not to mention the already massive sea creatures.
After the giant tortoise crossed the bridge, it still did not stop and continued to move forward.
After a few minutes, it was not until it gradually disappeared from sight that Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it left, otherwise, he could only evacuate overnight.
He touched his forehead, and before he knew it, it was already covered with sweat, and his body seemed to be collapsed, his whole body was weak, and his face showed a trace of bitterness, such a creature did not talk about fighting, even if he stood near it, it was a kind of torment, and he didn't know what the reaction of other people in the fortifications hundreds of meters away from the road would be, and I am afraid it would not be much better than him now.
However, he had some doubts in his heart, the most suitable environment for marine life was naturally the ocean, what was this giant beast doing here?
Of course, during the flood season, it is also the sea, but now most of the area is tidal flats, and even the largest river here cannot accommodate such a huge number of creatures.
And from the perspective of evolution, the first creatures in the ocean to go to land are all losers in the cruel competition, but with its strength, it should not be a weak person in the ocean, and it is not at all necessary to mix with the land.
The strong doubt made him feel the urge to go over and take a look.
He looked at the time, it was not yet one o'clock in the morning, he hesitated for a moment, and felt that it should not be dangerous to follow far away, so he quickly ran towards the shore.
The two sides of the bridge have almost become forests, but because this is a saline-alkali land, it seems a little sparse, and insects the size of a fist like fireflies are constantly flying in the woods, adding some glowing plants in the distance, making the light dotted here bizarre.
Luo Yuan ran at high speed in the woods, from time to time the rabbit rose and fell, flexible like a jungle monkey, and the woods on both sides retreated.
Half an hour later he climbed the tree and looked into the distance.
……
The sky was covered with clouds, and it was rare to reveal a vague full moon.
It was less than three kilometers from the giant tortoise, and it had now left the Haihe River and climbed up the mudflats in the cold night, and all the creatures were trying to hide themselves from this oppressive atmosphere, and even the incessant insect chirping at night was frightened as a chilling cicada.
Luo Yuan held his breath, his body motionless like a rock.
The giant tortoise stopped when it walked on a high ground, its huge and hideous head, looked around, as if it was wary of something, and when its cold eyes swept towards Luo Yuan, it paused slightly.
Being stared at coldly by the torch-like eyes in the dark, Luo Yuan only felt that his scalp was exploding, his heart missed half a beat, and he almost turned around and ran.
Thankfully, it quickly turned its gaze away and continued to look elsewhere.
Luo Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, trying his best to control the fear in his heart.
At that moment, he clearly felt that he had been discovered by it, and his means of hiding his breath were invisible in front of this creature, but it didn't seem to care about its existence, maybe to it, he was just an inconspicuous little bug.
Just when Luo Yuan didn't know whether to leave or continue to stay here, the giant tortoise began to move its limbs, like a super excavator, and the ground quickly dug a deep pit more than forty or fifty meters wide and a little deep, and after a few minutes, it stopped.
The body is lying on it, motionless, and the tail is tightly attached to the hole.
Don't......
Luo Yuan's heart moved, and sure enough, it quickly verified its guess, the giant turtle snorted, there seemed to be a trace of pain in the voice, and after a long time, it slowly stood up, and its limbs continued to move, driving a large amount of silt, burying the pit deeply.
After doing all this, it didn't leave immediately, and continued to scan around, this time looking more carefully, looking at it repeatedly for a few minutes, and then, under Luo Yuan's frightened gaze, slowly walked towards Haihe, it looked very weak, and its body was a little shaky.
If it was an ordinary light green-level creature, maybe this was the best opportunity, but in the face of this uncertain level sea creature, he couldn't think of the slightest thought.
It walked into the Haihe River, and in the hazy moonlight, it quickly disappeared in the direction it came.
Luo Yuan continued to hide in the tree and remained motionless for half an hour, until there was no sound in the distance, he jumped off the tree and quickly ran towards the shore.
A few minutes later, he walked to the high ground, even though the giant turtle had left far away, there was still its breath here, but this breath was nothing to Luo Yuan's 15 point will,
This pit is the size of three basketball courts, and I don't know where the road is, Luo Yuan stood on the ground and sensed it, and his heart was happy, it came here far from the ocean, and it really came to lay eggs.
The only pity is that there is only one, but it is normal to think about it, in nature, the more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and the weaker the creature, the more unlimited it is to reproduce. Like the pre-apocalyptic sea turtles, a nest is hundreds of eggs, and the entire ocean is probably occupied by it.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the right tools, it's okay to kill people with a knife, but it's not okay to dig a pit, you can only use your hands.
He stuck his knife in the side, stood in the middle of the mud, and began to dig the pit by hand.
It's all soft silt here, and it's not hard to dig up, and because the giant tortoise has just come, the mutated creatures in the silt have fled from this place with this terrifying aura, and some of them who didn't have time to escape were also affected by the aura of the giant tortoise, and they were in a state of stiffness for a long time, and they haven't recovered until now, and there is no danger at all.
But the things inside are too deep, almost more than twenty meters deep, if you want to dig it out, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep today, Luo Yuan said secretly, but he obviously overestimated his ability to dig a pit
Dig a hole more than 20 meters deep, especially this kind of soft tidal flat, it is obviously impossible to dig vertically, otherwise it will be buried, and the egg is more than two meters high, and the surface seems to be covered with a thick layer of transparent substance, the whole body size is more than five meters, if the hole is dug small, it will not only collapse, but also cannot be taken out at all.
This is not a trick at all, and it can only be dug according to the size of the pit dug out by the giant tortoise, which is undoubtedly a huge project.
Luo Yuan only dug for half an hour, he was a little depressed, looking at the hole more than one meter wide and more than half a meter deep, he smiled bitterly in his heart, with such a progress, I am afraid that he will not be able to dig it for three days and three nights, and if it rains in the middle, he will have to start again.
At this time, he looked stunned!
It's really dizzy, why do you dig it yourself, isn't there a monitor lizard, although it can't compare to the giant tortoise, but for the monitor lizard, it is estimated that it won't take long.
