Chapter 57: A New Day
Sunny day.
Last night's hunt gave Wu Zixi a full meal, and one hind leg should be able to meet his energy consumption for about two days. Although eating a full stomach in the middle of the night is not very good for sleep, that is, it is commonly known as a bit panicked, and it is easy to grow fat. The former is not very comfortable to lie down, but the latter is not necessarily a bad thing.
Modern civilization is pushed back thousands of years, even as long as it is a few hundred years, and fat is also a status symbol. In ancient times, only the high-ranking and powerful in a tribe could get more food, and those who could raise fat were definitely a symbol of honor.
Not to mention the reckless era, and even the most primitive dinosaur age.
Energy is converted into fat and stored in the body, in addition to being used as a "wartime reserve", it is also a weapon to protect against the cold, and can even increase a certain amount of defense.
Of course, the fat pigs are counted separately.
There is a difference between planned fat and pure fat, and being too fat not only affects the action, but also reduces combat effectiveness.
This is not to despise fat, it is really fat to a certain extent, it is also a terrifying deterrent, and the combat effectiveness of the wild boar by the ton is not covered, and it is replaced by a twenty or thirty-meter-long diplodocus brachiosaurus brontosaurus, which is really fatal, and it is estimated that the Tyrannosaurus rex also has to weigh it.
However, these giant creatures probably won't appear in this area, and the proximity to the mountains, the terrain is so undulating that large creatures are quite limited here, making the junction of the mountains and the plains a paradise for small and medium-sized creatures.
Without a giant predator like the Tyrannosaurus rex, this is indeed a "safe haven" relatively speaking, after all, the giant predator has a large appetite every day.
Coming out of the "nest" in the morning, Wu Zixi was still a little uncomfortable, although he had already recognized the identity of "dog" in his heart, but he would still be a little uncomfortable, not to mention the strange taste in his mouth after swallowing meat raw......
(I want to brush my teeth...... )
Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely, and if toothbrushing and toothpaste really popped up in this ghost place hundreds of millions of years ago, it would be called terrifying. But this does not mean that Wu Zixi intends to give up this idea, in addition to wanting to drink cool spring water and take a bath, he wants to brush his teeth very seriously.
And everything last night was like a dream for Wu Zixi.
I can still feel the tingling sensation in my muscles while walking, maybe it is the sequelae left by the extreme excitement last night, and the hunt has subconsciously changed Wu Zixi, and maybe it has also changed this era, at least it has changed the dinosaur.
This made Wu Zixi, who came out of this temporary cave again, have a certain sense of jumping agility in his steps, or the wind under his feet.
The temperature in this era is very suitable for travel, not to mention the beautiful environment, the sun will not burn the skin, there is no exhaust gas from modern factories, there is no pollution, and it is primitive and natural.
Wu Zixi is not too far away from his "nest", his "nest" is at the foot of a low peak, from the foot of the mountain, this mountain is only three or four hundred meters high at most, and there is no concept of steepness.
Wu Zixi named it Mist, taking a homonym of my dwarf, the vegetation on the mountain began to sparse from the bottom to the top, but there was occasionally a smell of water clouds on the mountainside.
He figured that there should be a large river in the mountains behind the Mist Peak, as he could smell a lot of moisture from the air around him.
But he didn't plan to explore those mountains today, the earth thousands of years ago, who knows what kind of ecological chain there will be in those infinite mountains.
His task today, in addition to exploring the surrounding environment, is to find a nearby and safe source of water, at least not to pop up any dinosaurs or the like at every turn.
Although it was a pity to give up exploring the infinite mountains behind the Misty Peak, Wu Zixi's inspiration, which had become more and more sensitive since he came to this place, told him that it was best not to go over there easily, in addition to the danger he felt subconsciously, there was also an indescribable worry, as if there was something waiting for him in the mountains, a matter of life and death.
Curiosity killed the cat not for fun, Wu Zixi's curiosity was not light, but he suppressed the idea of finding out this time, but this thought was tossed in his heart.
(I'm going to climb over those mountains and conquer this new world!) )
Thinking about it, Wu Zixi forced himself to stop paying attention to the side of the northern mountains, and the longer he stared in that direction, the heavier the vigilance in his heart became.
This kind of mysterious and mysterious inspiration has already saved Wu Zixi's life twice in just a few days after he arrived in this world, he doesn't think it's a coincidence, he even thinks it's an instinct to incarnate into a beast.
It's not easy to survive in this dinosaur-infested world, not to mention that with the body of a dog, he doesn't want to die unclear, he wants to live.
But Wu Zixi didn't know at this time, he underestimated this instinct, because the real name of this primitive instinct is: seek good fortune and avoid evil.
However, since this stage, the avoidance of the evil has been revealed, but the auspiciousness does not seem to have been revealed.
For example, he was looking for a water source, but he found it, but it was a stream less than a meter wide, probably stretched out of the northern mountains, and the water was very sweet, but it was more embarrassing to take a bath, and the water was so deep that it could submerge the calf, which was still calculated based on the height of a dog.
After digging a "bath" and barely bathing, washing away the residual smell of blood on his body and the dust accumulated in the past few days, Wu Zixi suddenly wanted to see the dinosaur.
After last night, there were also a few joys and a few sorrows, not to mention the two felines who died because of it, which became someone else's meal.
However, the idea of going to see the dinosaur is just an idea after all, Wu Zixi doesn't want to do such an exciting thing for the time being, what he needs most now is to explore the surrounding environment, find future hunting grounds, and various resource places.
Although this semi-mountainous and semi-plain area is not a hunting ground for giant large hunters, feline carnivores like last night are common, and there are occasional ferocious beasts like dinosaurs, which are somewhere between medium and large.
(I don't know how the dinosaur's injuries came about, cannibalism?) )
Although he defeated the dinosaur in a roundabout way, the fear of facing the dinosaur was still clear, and the scythe claws in the front of the short claws were too brutal.
(If I had a pair of sharp weapons like that, maybe I would be able to fight head-on!) )
The idea is beautiful, like the morning in this primeval mountain forest.
In the early morning, all kinds of chirping had begun to sound in the mountains and forests, and Wu Zixi thought that birds were impossible at first, but this idea had been extinguished by the facts he had heard and seen before.
Just now, he saw a large bird on a tree bearing green fruits, which was larger than a domestic chicken, and its plumage with green and red accents was quite plump, and it was not suitable for long-distance flight, but it should be fine to glide.
As for why not call it chicken...... Well, maybe call it **.
