Chapter 5 One Left Behind
Yang Qian carefully observed the green "roots", he still felt that this was not wood at all, and he always felt that this thing would still make him feel an indescribable weirdness now.
But the three small-horned dragons were gnawing hotly, and it didn't seem to have side effects, so he also "ventured" to taste it. It felt like rotten wood, and Xiaoqing and the queen just sniffed at his signal and walked away, it seemed that this was indeed not something suitable for carnivores.
As for what it was, Yang Qian didn't bother to delve into it, he didn't know enough that he really didn't have the heart to study this.
Maybe the answer will come on its own.
When resting at night, the little air-tailed lizard was "abused" like never before, and every time it fell asleep for less than a moment, it would be touched by the predator demon as if it was inadvertently touched, or woken up when it moved its body, making it full of complaints.
The three little horned dragons obviously regarded Yang Qian as their parents after they left their parents, and when it was dark at night, they came to Yang Gan's side as if they were in the field.
This saved Yang Qian's business.
In the second half of the night, Xiaoqing, who was in a daze, felt as if something was stuffed in his mouth, and then he was confused and entered his stomach. It wriggled a few times and continued to fall asleep.
Yang Qian laughed quietly.
If this guy is allowed to eat a stone during the day, if he doesn't want to, he will fly with his wings, and no one can do anything. But Yang Qian, who had figured out its habits, knew that as long as it fell asleep and there was no external danger, it would basically not wake up.
Originally, Yang Qian planned to break the stone for it to eat, but thinking about the angularity of the broken stone, it was not as easy to swallow as such a round stone. Although it seems that the smallest stone is still a little bigger, with the devouring ability of a small lizard, it is still fine.
Next, Yang Qian got another stone and stuffed it into the mouth of a small horned dragon.
As a result, the little horned dragons hummed and chirped, and none of them swallowed the stone, so Yang Gan tried several times, but had to decide to wait until dawn.
The next day, when it was dark, the little horned dragons got up and went outside to have fun.
The place is a messy dug place, but this chaotic terrain makes them happy, running around here, and then gnawing on the peculiar "roots".
Yang Qian, who had no way to name that strange thing, could only call it a tree root.
After only one night, the root of the tree, where it had been gnawed by the little horned dragons yesterday, had grown again, and the dark green juice had solidified on it, and there was almost no trace of gnawing on it.
Unfortunately, the little ones remember it today. Don't think that the little ones eat less, and really let go of eating, these little ones can eat more than the adult ceratosaurus.
When the bark of the tree was gnawed open again, Yang Qian rolled a piece of strange stone in the dark green sap, and then threw it on the root of the tree, which one could eat it depended on their luck.
As a result, when the stone, which they had resolutely refused to swallow last night, rolled to the head of a small horned dragon, the little horned dragon raised its head and glanced at Yang Qian, sniffed at the stone, and then ate it without hesitation.
Although the three little horned dragons were abducted back by Yang Gan together, Yang Gan was still a little disappointed when he saw that the one who ate the stone was the one he didn't like the most. But I have decided to look at luck, and it doesn't matter if it's here.
When the queen returned from the hunt with her prey, the three carnivores deliberately walked to the other side of the corridor to avoid the sight of the three small horned dragons before they began to feast.
After breakfast, Yang Qian continued to start his own digging business.
Because of the boulders scattered everywhere on the boulder pile, even Yang Gan could not move them, and the soil was difficult to transport, the whole project has been progressing slowly. Yang Qian had no choice but to give full play to the spirit of ant moving and clean up little by little.
The three little horned dragons actually ate enough by gnawing on the "roots", and then turned around idlely.
So on a large construction site, four of the six creatures of different races were onlookers, except for the queen who continued to focus on rummaging through the strange stones, only the big crocodile demon was working hard.
When Yang Qian began to use the stone slab to push the earth, three little horned dragons suddenly ran over to the side, lowering their heads against the stone slab to help him push it.
Although Yang Qian didn't feel much lighter, he finally felt a little comforted in his heart.
However, in the next few days, Yang Qian felt that something was wrong.
Since eating the Strange Stone, Xiaoqing continued to eat food on the first day, and then as time passed, its appetite became less and less, and by the fifth day, it basically stopped eating food.
This made Yang Qian anxious.
In his impatience, the little lizard was still silly and happy every day, except for eating less, the rest basically did not change, which made him gradually feel at ease.
It wasn't until half a month later that the little lizard began to take the initiative to please the queen when the queen came back with food, and Yang Qian finally laughed happily.
And he accidentally discovered that the little lizard had finally grown a little bit bigger.
It's really just a little bit, if it weren't for the fact that he once pressed this guy to the stone wall to depict, it would be difficult for them to find such subtle changes in each other all day together.
As the progress of the project became bigger and bigger, Yang Gan, as the only construction worker, felt that it was getting more and more difficult, the soil needed to be transported farther, and the stones of different sizes could be moved to the periphery as much as possible, so as not to stay here and get in the way.
In the process, two more "roots" were discovered, which made the three little horned dragons happy, because the first one had been gnawed a few meters deep underground, and it was inconvenient to go down.
According to Yang Gan's observations, as long as these "tree roots" are exposed to the ground, it will not be long before they begin to slowly turn green and become food for the three small horned dragons. As for the time when the yellow was still dry, the little horned dragons did not give a damn at all.
Fourth, fifth...... Sixth, seventh...... When Yang Qian regained possession of the five strange stones, and when he found two "tree roots" again, Yang Qian found that time had passed quietly for several months.
The rain is gradually becoming scarce, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a large number of plant-eating dinosaurs will migrate to the Crescent Lake in the original thrush area, and Yang Gan's project at this time is only a rough cleanup.
But the latter one, gradually, it will be easier to clean up.
If the entire boulder pile is considered a ruin, the range of this ruin is about a few thousand meters. However, the ground paved with stone slabs should be roads, and the places where other boulders are piled up should be houses.
These buildings, as can be inferred from the remaining boulders, are incredibly large.
But Yang Qian hadn't found anything of value yet.
Up to now, there is basically nothing other than tree roots and strange stones, and even the patterns found on the stone slabs below the corridor are not found on all stone slabs.
If every place that could be a building was cleared, the amount of work would be too large. Therefore, according to the approximate area of the entire ruins, Yang Qian determined a central point, and determined several points around the central point, intending to focus on excavation.
These locations are places where Yang Qian believes that it may be the entire building complex and the key buildings exist.
Of course, if the builders of these ruins must be accustomed to building what they think is the most important building in the most marginal corner of the entire building complex, then Yang Qian will consider himself unlucky.
The migration of the dinosaurs with the surname of Zhishi is coming, and there are rumbling dinosaurs running and passing by in the distance, and Yang Gan's project is still progressing slowly.
Two more exotic stones were found, which was also a harvest.
But the restlessness of the three little horned dragons made him happy to harvest two more strange stones, and he disappeared.
The dinosaurs living here are fundamentally different from the dinosaurs in the Sancha River Plain on the other side of the Enlightenment Mountains. They have carved into their bones something that has been going on for millions of years, such as migration.
In the imprint of their lives, there is everything about migration. When the seasons change, they instinctively know how to do it, how to give themselves the right to live better in nature.
So the rumbling beast herd made the three little horned dragons belonging to this heaven and earth, the instinct imprinted in the blood, explode.
From time to time, they ran out of the range of the ruins, looking at the running dinosaurs, ready to move.
Before that, Yang Gan's first experiment had been declared a failure.
Since arriving here, the three little horned dragons have not paid much attention to the lush vegetation around them, and they have been waiting for the "roots" to turn green, using this as their only source of food.
They don't even need water, because the dark green sap on the "roots" is so rich.
As a result, they grew bigger and bigger, and now surpassed the average ceratosaurus. And their growth rate is so consistent that there is basically no difference in size and appearance. If it weren't for Yang Qian's familiarity with their surnames and their slightly different aura, he wouldn't have been able to tell which one had eaten the strange stone.
The unfortunate thing he experienced was not just like this, and now Yang Qian is very calm.
Just like now, the three less-horned dragons could leave at any time.
It's not all bad news, there's good news.
Another result of daily labor is that Yang Gan's body is becoming more and more flexible, and the energy accumulated in the body when eating belt fish is gradually consumed.
"Woo Woo Woo Woo ......"
A group of ceratosaurs came running from afar, in the Boulder Plains, occupying the territory with the best plants and the richest water.
From the moment he saw the leader of the three particularly tall horned dragons, Yang Qian felt that the small team he had worked so hard to form was about to be reduced.
As expected, the little horned dragons, who had been looking at the migratory dinosaurs, were summoned away by the call of their parents.
Looking at the two little horned dragons that were turning back step by step, Yang Gan felt that he had encountered another shameful "betrayal".
Wait, two?
Yang Qian looked around at lightning speed, and sure enough, he saw that the strange stone that had eaten him, which had always looked dull and the little horned dragon that he didn't like the most, although it also looked at the group of horned dragons frequently, it also kept looking at itself, and most importantly, it had not moved its footsteps.
