Chapter 58: An Unexpected Confrontation
Last night's full meal has not been completely digested yet, and he is not hungry at this time, and he is not interested in this kind of fat chicken, but Wu Zixi still took a few more looks, after all, maybe tomorrow this fat chicken will become his mouth.
After tasting the fresh meat of primitive creatures once, Wu Zixi felt that the title of omnivorous creature could be removed from his head, although it could be paired with some vegetarian food to complete the taste bud experience, but meat was king.
Yes, meat!
You can never imagine how delicious the meat is in this era.
The fragrance is soft and fat but not greasy, smooth and firm and refreshing.
If this ingredient is placed hundreds of millions of years later, it is definitely a top luxury, you can't believe that raw meat can be delicious to such a degree, and the feeling of the entrance can only be described as intoxicating.
This can almost be the motivation for hunting.
Of course, early in the morning is not yet time for hunting. After this morning, Wu Zixi was a little glad of his luck, taking his temporary dens as a point, without considering the endless mountains in the north, this cone-shaped radiation area was almost three kilometers safe, without the smell of wild beasts, no hunting grounds with a strong smell of blood, and no lairs of fierce beasts.
Three kilometers is not a large area for carnivorous creatures, perhaps less than a tenth of the hunting area demarcated by normal hunters, but it is the starting point.
(This will be my home.) )
With this realization, Wu Zixi decided to clean up his nest as soon as possible, at least temporarily upgrading it to semi-permanent.
The warm sunlight of the day shines through the half-hidden hole, illuminating the small kennel:
The soft hay has been flattened out of the space on both sides, this kind of hay is very common here, it is very soft to step on, and it is not easy to break or break, it is very suitable for making a cover, which is considered to be the bed after Wu Zixi;
On the opposite side of the "bed" there is still a hind leg that gnaws only the bones, it seems to be a little clean, there is no trace of blood left around, and even the smell of blood is not much, next to the bones are some green aloe vera and cuiluo, which are quite neatly arranged, this side should be a restaurant.
(There isn't much space either, and although it lacks the warmth of home, it does have the feeling of a humble room.) )
It is indeed a very inconvenient thing to have no hands, at least the function of doing some delicate things is irreplaceable, and it took Wu Zixi more than an hour to spend on the hay bed alone.
Of course, the time is estimated by Wu Zixi, whether it is the rotation of the earth or the revolution in this era, it may be different from tens of millions of years later, but the sunrise and sunset are always the same, regardless of whether he has 22 hours a day or 26 hours, a day is a day.
By about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun had begun to set in the west, the kennel had taken on some appearance, and Wu Zixi even collected some plants with broad leaves as tablecloths.
After such a toss, Wu Zixi did not feel hungry, and predators such as leopards and lions could eat for three or five days, or even longer. His meal last night was a real fresh hind leg meat, both in the stomach and in the spirit.
(Now...... Do what? )
After cleaning up his nest, Wu Zixi squatted at the entrance of the cave and was a little confused, he had watched some nature documentaries, in which lions and leopards seemed to lie on their stomachs most of the time except hunting, or waiting for "love" to come.
Lying on his stomach is more to save body consumption and reduce energy consumption, and "love" is naturally to give birth to the next generation, but he Wu Zixi is still human in nature, and he can't always find a mother in the era of dinosaurs......
Ahem......
(Person...... The pursuit. )
In addition to life and death, human beings in the primitive period had a great desire to explore flying and unknown things, even when Wu Zixi was still a human, there were still many unknowns on the earth that were being deciphered by people, such as his "life" work was one of them.
Curiosity is really the cornerstone of progress, and even evolution.
(Perhaps, I can leave something for humanity in billions of years.) )
How long can a dog live, Wu Zixi didn't think about it, in this era of dinosaurs, if he can really live intact, maybe he should do something, at least he should leave his own mark.
There are no greater goals, or there are too many such goals, this era has left almost no information for future generations except fossils, and the dinosaurs that have ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years have disappeared without leaving a trace at a certain point in time, and there are too many accidental existences, making this era an empty hole that is more empty than a myth.
(Countless scientists have been obsessed with it, and I have the opportunity to be reborn in this era, how fortunate I am, I want to live, and live as long as possible.) )
(I want to witness this age, record this age, and even ...... Ahead of this era! )
Bright light began to flicker in Wu Zixi's eyes, and he stood up, glanced up at the misty peak behind him, and then jumped up and began to climb the mountain.
Although the mist peak, which does not have any path, is not steep, it is also difficult to move forward, and the slightest mistake will slip from it.
With the help of some scattered trees, after climbing forty or fifty meters, Wu Zixi mastered some tricks, and the speed of his progress began to stabilize, at this speed, he could reach the top in about twenty minutes.
But the higher you go, the more sparse the vegetation becomes, the hideous and rugged rocks rise frequently, and there are no trees to steady your footing, so you have to be extremely careful with every step, and the speed of the climb has dropped again.
The Fog Peak is indeed not high, but if you really want to roll down a few hundred meters high, it can also kill people, and there is no need to talk about more about those ideals.
Seeing that the sun had set in the west, Wu Zixi moved his front paws, and there were still more than twenty meters from the top of the mountain, but less than two meters above Wu Zixi's position at this time was a raised boulder.
The protruding boulder is like the brim of a peaked cap on the top of the Misty Peak, although it is not wide, but it completely blocks Wu Zixi's upward path.
Before, Wu Zixi was inconspicuous when he looked up from below, but when he got closer, he felt tricky.
If it is a human body, it can still climb up with both hands, and if the body of a dog is a detour, it can only jump up, but if it does not jump up, it will almost roll into a ball of flesh if it falls.
Wu Zixi glanced left and right, there is almost no vegetation in the area near the top of the mountain, and there are very strange stone convex shapes that have been eroded by the wind, and some places are quite sharp and sharp, and it is very difficult to get foothold, and it is troublesome to bypass the hat brim stone above, not to mention jumping up with strength.
Just when Wu Zixi was struggling with whether to give up this climb, there was some noise on the hat brim stone, and before Wu Zixi could recover his strength, a pointed head poked out from above, and when he opened his mouth, it was a piercing wail.
"Wing ...... Pterodactyl? ”
Wu Zixi was startled by this voice and howled, but fortunately he was not frightened and rolled down.
He steadied himself, clasped his paws into a crack in the stone, and looked up at the pterodactyl, which seemed to be a cub.
This little guy is at most the size of a kitten, and his appearance really does not meet the aesthetics of most "people", gray with some dark green, and he is trying to poke out most of his body from the brim stone above, and Wu Zixi can already see the thin faces on its body at this distance.
If you really want to describe it, it looks like a big bat of a variant, if a bat can grow such a pointed head.
Obviously, this little guy has never seen other creatures climb on this, a pair of mung bean-like eyes stared directly at Wu Zixi, opening and closing that weird mouth from time to time, and I don't know whether it was curiosity or interest.
Wu Zixi didn't think of what to do for a while, climbing to the top of this misty peak was a feeling, but he didn't expect to meet a juvenile pterodactyl on it.
At this distance, as long as Wu Zixi jumps lightly, he can shoot this little guy down with one paw, this is the first time Wu Zixi has encountered flying in the sky in this era.
(It should taste good!) )
I think so, but if there's a big guy up there, it's going to be a problem.
All of a sudden, the two guys confronted each other near the summit of the Mist Peak.
