Chapter 80: New Discoveries
Of course, Zhang Jun was unwilling to let the strange guy swallow the five-pointed star leaf that he had worked so hard to seek, but at this time, the sky was not yet dawn, and the animal that attacked the evil dragon's nest had already left, and its whereabouts were difficult to find, so Zhang Jun decided to pack up the bodies of these evil dragons here, fill his stomach, and then rest for a while.
The dragons were already tired, and the wounds on the bodies of several male dragons were aching due to the fighting, and they had to rest, otherwise the wounds would be pulled open many times, and it would be difficult to heal again.
Then Zhang Jun and the other seven allosaurus began to clean up the corpses of the evil dragons on the ground, so many evil dragons were enough for them to eat for a while, and after they were full, they began to lie down in the cave to rest, just waiting for the dawn.
Zhang Jun began to cultivate, and when he was cultivating, his physical strength recovered quickly, and after eating so much evil dragon meat, the energy was quickly absorbed, and his physical strength quickly returned to normal, and the wounds on his body had already healed.
The other Allosaurus also recuperated, and the next morning, when a red sun rose, the jungle began to be lively again, with all kinds of birds flying through the jungle and beasts beginning to come out to feed. The mutilated corpse of the evil dragon gave many small animals a chance to eat, and they could eat it beautifully for nothing.
When Zhang Jun waited until the light was very sufficient, he began to look for the footprints of other animals near the entrance of the cave, he carefully identified it, and sure enough, he found a kind of animal footprints with limbs and five claws on each limb near the entrance of the cave.
Judging from the footprints on the ground, the five claws of this animal are evenly distributed and about the same length, while the paws of the feet of the Allosaurus are distributed differently, the front three claws are very slender and sharp, and there is a short toe in the back, which is not as long as the claws, and there is no hook, so this footprint is definitely not left by the Allosaurus.
These footprints are also very large, one size larger than the footprints of the Allosaurus, I don't know what animal left them, but it is certain that these are left by a huge guy, but no matter what kind of animal it is, Zhang Jun will not give up the pursuit.
Then Zhang Jun led the team to set off, he found that these paw prints went down along the mountain road he came to at night, so he began to track its footprints along the road, this guy must have weighed a lot, so he left obvious paw prints on the mountain road, and some places also penetrated more than ten centimeters deep into the soil, so as long as you follow the paw prints, you can track its traces.
Gradually, Zhang Jun could also see that this seemed to be just the paw prints left by an animal, not a group, because the footprints along the road were very regular, and there were complete footprints of an animal left on each section of the road, and there were no signs of chaos, so there must have been only one animal that had come to the evil dragon's lair.
At the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Jun found that his footprints had gone in the other direction, the direction of the shore of the lake, the opposite direction from which Zhang Jun had first arrived, he had never been there, and he had not yet had time to explore the area.
The guy's footprints were very obvious, leaving a lot of marks on the ground, so Zhang Jun followed it effortlessly, until he walked through several kilometers of dense forest, and gradually walked in the direction of the opposite side of the lake.
In the end, Zhang Jun found a nearby aquatic weed on the shore of the lake, and found that the footprint had disappeared in the aquatic weed, and its footprints could no longer be found around, and he immediately judged that the animal seemed to have entered the water.
"Is it an amphibian?" Zhang Jun got the answer, this guy must be an amphibious animal, otherwise he would not have drilled into the water.
The size of the huge ichthyosaur that Zhang Jun saw that day was also in line with it, but the ichthyosaur did not have obvious limbs, it was impossible for them to climb such a far mountain, and only crocodiles could do this, but crocodiles generally do not live in inner lakes, and they would not be so far away from the water, so he couldn't guess what kind of animal it was.
Zhang Jun began to look along the surface of the lake, and he found that on the shore of the lake a hundred meters away, there was a huge rock, the rock was grayish-white, about 40 meters high, about 50 meters wide, and the shape was not very irregular, but at the place where the bottom of the rock and the lake touched, there was a hole exposed outside, and the hole was very large enough for large animals to pass through.
Zhang Jun immediately became interested in the entrance of the cave, he began to take the dragon group along the river bank, towards the cave entrance, around a distance of more than 100 meters to the bottom of the rock, and the cave entrance is a meter away from the lake, to get to the cave entrance, you must wade water, but only a few meters away, a jump can be done, this is difficult Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun and a few Allosaurus stepped on the shallow water by the lake, walked a few steps, and arrived outside the entrance of the cave, which was more than ten meters high and five or six meters wide, enough for the Allosaurus to pass through.
Zhang Jun stood in the shallow water at the entrance of the cave, and immediately found that it was a large open space, which was a very good place to live, and the cave wall in front was nearly 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave, which was a huge natural cave, if this place was used as a dragon's nest, it would be very convenient to drink water.
Zhang Jun took the dragon group into the cave, the light near the entrance of the cave is very sufficient, you can see the scene of the cave far away, after walking twenty or thirty meters, Zhang Jun found that there are some footprints on the ground, that is the footprints of the animal that the footprints have been followed for a long time, it actually came to this hole.
But Zhang Jun looked around for a while, and found that there was nothing in the cave, except for rocks, or rocks, there was no sign of any animal existence, but after he carefully observed for a while, he still found a few small animals with wings on the cave wall at a high place, and it seemed that the little pterosaur had fallen into a nest inside.
The little pterosaurs did not seem to panic when they saw the Allosaurus entering, because their nests were so high that the Allosaurus could not reach them, and they stayed quietly on the edges of a few high rocks, as if they were resting.
Zhang Jun walked a few more steps, and he saw that he had overlooked one thing just now, that is, on the ground in the middle of the cave, there was a large puddle with a diameter of more than ten meters, so he approached to take a look.
Zhang Jun saw that the water in this puddle seemed to be a little different from the lake outside, there were no waves, it was very calm, he tried to stick out his tongue and lick it, and found that the water here was salty.
"Sea water?" Zhang Jun's first impression was that the water in the puddle was seawater, not fresh water.
Zhang Jun began to speculate about why there was seawater here, he thought for a moment, wondering if this puddle had led to the ocean, and the footprints of that animal happened to disappear in the puddle, could it be that the animal was an amphibian from the ocean.
This answer made Zhang Jun a little surprised, it seems that the evil dragon was not killed by the amphibians in the lake, but from the ocean, at this time Zhang Jun began to think that he saw a ichthyosaur in the lake, the ichthyosaur is a sea creature, so the ichthyosaur may also have climbed in from this puddle, this puddle is probably connected to the ocean, and there is an underground river in it, connected to the ocean in the distance.
