Chapter 37: The Crisis of the Newborn Ceratosaurus
So, when the sun was upgraded again, the protoceratops were horrified to find that the terrifying troll had come to the vicinity of their lair again.
They assembled again, confronted, stalemate, and then lined up to watch Yang Gan leave.
Day 3, Day 4......
Every morning, the Protoceratops would always spot large monsters near their lair, and then always find out after panicking that nothing had happened. The monster seemed to be merely intending to rest there and didn't mean to disturb them.
So when nearly ten days later, when the Horned Dragons began to emerge from their eggs, Yang Qian was given the opportunity to observe them with his own eyes near the Horned Dragons' lair.
This is the method that Yang Qian came up with, so that he could watch the birth of the Xiaoyuan Horned Dragons with his own eyes, so as to facilitate future observation.
It's just a very simple and straightforward little plan, nothing more than spending some time and patience.
In fact, the effect is very good, which makes him a little proud.
These Protoceratosaurs have undergone many great migrations, and on the road and in the wilderness, there are always countless carnivorous dinosaurs around them. Many times, the predators and their prey run together on the migration route, and the close distance can even be described as close to each other.
When carnivores get enough food, they will never kill for nothing. Even if you keep following, it is only for your next meal, and before you are hungry, any waste of physical strength is stupid, and any act of hunting, is superfluous.
For carnivores, this is the experience and habit they have cultivated for hundreds of millions of years to survive; In Yang Qian's view, the instinct of these creatures to follow the rules of nature should really be learned by humans thousands of years later.
At least they never hunt an elephant for a tusk.
Of course, this is just Yang Gan's complaining about waiting for boredom every day, after all, he doesn't do anything, just staring at piles of dead branches and leaves, it's really boring.
And the more they get to the last moment, the more nervous the Protoceratops become, and often the slightest movement will make them gather together, ready to resist the enemy that may come.
Therefore, Yang Qian couldn't do anything except think wildly, for fear of frightening these mothers who were like frightened birds.
As if sensing something, a protoceratosaurus carefully pushed away the dead branches and soil covering a nest with its mouth, and watched the neatly arranged dinosaur eggs below while vigilantly guarding against possible danger around it.
The other Protoceratops were also relieved, and soon, the dinosaur eggs in the nest were revealed.
The sunlight shines through the not dense foliage of the grove, leaving dappled light and shadow on the nest.
A dinosaur egg moved slightly, stopped for a long time, and then moved again, and a small dot suddenly protruded on the eggshell. The newborn little life inside was obviously in a hurry, and after the eggshell bulge, it was estimated that it used all the strength of its body in the eggshell to hit the bulge hard.
"Crackle!"
There was a slight thud, and several pieces of smashed eggshells flew out lightly, revealing a small hole in the eggshell. Then, a small blue-gray head with the nutrient mucus in the sticky eggshell came out, its eyelids twitched a few times, and then slowly opened.
The little eyes purred and looked at the world that greeted it, the sun, the air, the groves, everything was so fresh, but it was not what it was looking for. Finally, it found what it wanted to see most, and it was the hideous-looking head of the female protoceratosaurus.
"Woo Woo Woo Woo ......"
The newborn Protoceratosaurus opened its mouth and let out a childish cry, calling out to the creature that instinctively made it feel closest to it. By the way, he announced his arrival to this magnificent and cruel world of giant beasts.
Yang Qian seemed to feel that he had thought of something.
I remember that when Xiaoqing was carrying a stone and helping him smash the monitor lizard but smashed it on his head, that stone threw himself out of a flash of inspiration.
At the time, I thought that idea was very important, but unfortunately it was bitten by a monitor lizard.
Then he remembered that one of the ideas he had at that time was to learn to practice and use various tools. Although there is no effect yet, he believes that his efforts will not be wasted.
But this is definitely not the only idea, at that time, I seemed to have thought of a very special and bold idea, but I have never been able to remember.
This affliction can drive any sapient creature mad.
I know that there is such an idea or something that I have thought of, which is very important and crucial, but I just think about it and don't know it.
It's like a person who has been out for dozens of miles, and suddenly remembered a very important thing, ran home in one breath, and faced with an empty house, he couldn't remember why he ran back?
The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and Yang Qian felt that he had to come up with it as soon as possible, otherwise he might forget it after a long time.
"Wow...... Pump...... Chirp ......"
A familiar cry suddenly came from nearby, interrupting Yang Gan's hard thinking.
Didn't you let Xiaoqing run and play by herself? Why did it come back? In danger?
Yang Qian immediately became alert, and then after a breath, he reacted, this cry was not Xiaoqing's. Xiaoqing's cry was not so shrill or so urgent.
The big head adjusted its direction slightly, and soon, he discovered the source of the sound.
Then, he started to have headaches.
The sound-producing slender-jawed dragon is also called a beautiful-jawed dragon.
This is the smallest dinosaur that Yang Qian knew in his previous life, and of course, now Yang Qian knows that they are not the smallest, and there are really not a few smaller than them.
The slenderjaws were bipedal dinosaurs with an elongated tail and neck, as well as a mouth like a small crocodile. If you just look at the body, they are the size of a chicken.
It is said that their eggs are only about one centimeter, but Yang Qian has never seen them, and he has no idea of studying the size of their eggs at this moment.
Because although they are about the same size as chickens, they are more flexible than chickens.
Most importantly, these little things also eat meat.
Maybe the slightly older dinosaurs will not be afraid of them, after all, their petite and light bodies are destined to be weak in strength.
But there are small enough creatures to be afraid of them, the little Protoceratosaurus in the nest. And at this time, in the face of the female protoceratosaurus, their small and dexterous bodies have become an advantage.
It's like a lions that can hunt bison or even lone elephants, but they can't do anything about the flies that fly all over their heads.
Things are getting a little tricky.
