Chapter 8 Cultivation with peace of mind
The vegetation of the Jurassic period is very rich, and at this time the continents of the whole world are almost connected, but they have been divided into two continents, north and south, surrounded by oceans, and the continents are lush plants except for deserts. There are no too tall mountains here, because the Himalayas and Albis, which were formed by the impact of the Earth's tectonic plates, are far from appearing.
The vegetation on the ground around them is very dense, providing an excellent hiding place for small animals, and the tall bodies of the nine Allosaurus are difficult to hide in some places, so they walk all the way, and the small animals that pass under the vegetation all avoid it, some hide in the hole, some climb the trunk of the tree, but they don't know that the Allosaurus group has just had a full meal, and they will not easily disturb them at all.
The leading dragon and the dragon group gradually walked out a few kilometers away, to a jungle of weeds and trees, and soon Zhang Jun saw a flat land in front of him, about a few hundred square meters, the weeds on the ground and the rhizomes of trees were partially flattened, obviously the masterpiece of this group of Allosaurus, they reclaimed this small world, as a base camp, and lived here at night.
Allosaurus did not live in a fixed place, and would change its location at any time according to the needs of predation, and they only needed a few movements of their hands and feet to easily flatten the ground and clear a clearing.
The terrain here is mostly plains and small hills, and there are no high mountains, so it is difficult to find suitable caves to inhabit here, but the dinosaurs do not have a good sight at night, so they are basically not worried about the large carnivorous dinosaurs that will sneak up when they fall asleep.
Nine dinosaurs live in groups, each has a small world, each entrenched in the grass, began to entertain themselves, there are two small dinosaurs the same size as Zhang Jun began to frolic around, teasing each other, jumping up and down from time to time, a few strange screams, the leader dragon sometimes annoys them, will warn one or two.
Then the two little dragons quickly ran to Zhang Jun's side, and began to stretch out their claws and gently scratch on his skin, teasing Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun really has no interest in playing with Xiaolong, because his mind is much more advanced than them, and he likes to play online games in later generations, and he is not interested in Xiaolong's low-level slapstick and play.
But the two little dragons liked Zhang Jun very much, because it was about the same size as them, Zhang Jun couldn't help but bother, and then roared at them a few times with his teeth and claws, and the two little ones were frightened away.
Zhang Jun didn't want Xiaolong to come and bother him often, because he was different from other Allosaurus, after filling his stomach, he had to cultivate, which was his compulsory homework.
Allosaurus rests most of the time, if they eat enough meat at a time, they can stay still for weeks in a row, which can also save energy, most of the time, Zhang Jun found that the rest of the Allosaurus are lying on the ground and not moving, sometimes sleeping, sometimes recuperating, even if they get up and walk around, they will not run far.
When they are full, the only thing they need to do each day is to go to the river to drink water, then come back to rest until they feel hungry and then go out again to round up their prey.
Zhang Jun needed more energy because of the need for cultivation, so he deliberately ate some more Diplodocus meat last time, and his stomach was bulging to meet more needs than other dragons.
Zhang Jun is not a human being after all, so the exercises such as the Yijin Sutra and the Iron Cloth Shirt, which are suitable for human cultivation, are not progressing as smoothly as in later generations.
The Yijin Sutra is divided into internal and external cultivation methods, a total of 12 postures, because people are upright to practice, so Zhang Jun has to imitate the appearance of people to stand upright and practice.
The first form of the Yi Jin Sutra is to offer the pestle, which requires both arms to bend the elbows, hold the ball in front of the chest, bend the wrists and stand up, the fingers are upward, and the palms are opposite, requiring the shoulders, elbows, and wrists to be on the same plane, with breathing, and doing about eight to twenty times.
There are eleven external postures next, all of which are postures that exercise the flexibility and strength of the body, which is indeed a bit difficult to do for Zhang Jun's current body structure, and it needs to be tempered more.
The other Allosaurus felt very puzzled every time they saw Zhang Jun standing on his hind legs, and then making some strange postures with his front paws, he didn't know what Zhang Jun was doing, and thought it was a dinosaur with nerve problems, and they got used to it after a long time, and they didn't take it seriously.
In addition to the Yi Jin Sutra, Zhang Jun also practiced the Iron Cloth Shirt exercises, often slapping his body with his claws, and then using his body to hit rocks and tree trunks. Because of the poor conditions, there is no iron sand, so it can only be demonstrated among the surrounding trees, soil, and gravel.
Dinosaurs' fur is very thick, so the effect of the initial iron cloth shirt cultivation is not as strong as the protective power of the fur, if it is a tall Allosaurus like the leader dragon, their fur is more than ten centimeters thick, even if it is an iron sand palm, it is difficult to defeat them.
Of course, Zhang Jun's body size will gradually become larger, and the power of the iron cloth shirt and iron sand palm will gradually be revealed, and the growth of the Yi Jin Jing on the strength of the body will be greater, and the three complement each other, although no one has cultivated so smoothly, for a year, Zhang Jun still feels that the body is full of qi, at least the strength is three to five times greater than that of the Allosaurus of the same size, the defense is about twice as large, the bounce power is twice as large, and the running speed can reach one and a half times.
So if Zhang Jun runs with all his might, faster than the light motorcycles of later generations, none of these allosaurs can catch up with him, in this jungle, it is estimated that in addition to Archaeopteryx and pterosaurs, there are also tree lizards that are good at gliding between the treetops, or flying insects such as dragonflies with wings, and other reptiles walking on the ground are not Zhang Jun's opponents.
Zhang Jun rested for two weeks without eating, and spent most of his time cultivating every day, and soon when he found out that he was hungry, the rest of the Allosaurus were still resting, and he had no intention of going out to hunt, so he had to dig a mouse hole in the nearby jungle alone, and catch a few multi-toothed beasts, snakes, and lizards to satisfy his hunger.
In the first year, Zhang Jun's growth was similar to that of other allosaurs, and his body size was normal, but after the second year, Zhang Jun's appetite began to skyrocket, and he could eat twice as much food as dinosaurs of the same size, so he grew the fastest, and after a few months, he was a few centimeters taller than the other two small dragons.
Next, after staying in the Allosaurus group for a year, Zhang Jun's size has grown to nearly three meters long, about one and a half meters tall, and the two smallest Allosaurus are twenty or thirty centimeters shorter than him, and the difference is becoming more and more obvious.
In the time that followed, Zhang Jun felt a change, that is, the area of the jungle on the south bank of the river was decreasing, and the foliage and plants were gradually losing their luxuriation, and it was clear that the drought was spreading here, and the situation on the other side of the river was better, as if there was more groundwater for the plants to absorb.
There are several groups of large herbivorous dinosaurs, which gradually venture across the river to the other side, and the prey that the Allosaurus group can prey is decreasing, so Zhang Jun estimates that the leader will take them across the river to migrate in the near future, which is also the most common thing that animals in the world do.
Zhang Jun was preparing to cross the river, he carefully observed the surrounding terrain during the hunt, remembered several of the narrowest places of the river, and found that there was a river only twenty or thirty meters wide, very narrow, and the river was full of large rocks and reefs, and the water was also very shallow, this kind of place could not hide the crocodile, so it was safe to cross the river.
