Chapter 15 The Dinosaur Picking Up Conch and Digging Rats
The little dinosaurs in the tidal flats are all the odontosaurs that Yang Qian has been looking for for a day.
At this time, in front of Yang Qian's eyes, the tooth-wounded dragons were jumping around on the tidal flats looking for some crustacean creatures. At this time, the tide is rising, and more and more tide is rising and retreating on the tidal flats, and from time to time there are some small fish and crabs left in the puddles on the tidal flats.
If this happens, the closest Toothless Dragons will rush over as fast as they can to see who can grab the poor little fish in their mouths first.
However, more often than not, they are on those damp reefs, looking for the strange conch hanging on them, and the small crabs hiding in the crevices of the reef, and then either chewing them directly, or using their claws to pick out the tender meat hidden in the carapace and eat them.
Some lucky people can pick up a clam or something with more meat, which should be a rare delicacy. Those who picked up the mussels would happily find a flat reef and smash the clams with stones, because the clams here have thick shells, so they can eat the meat inside.
These insidious and cunning little creatures, no wonder they can survive here? It turns out that they also know how to eat "seafood"!
However, small crustaceans are said to have a lot of parasites, so are these toothless dragons sure that they won't have problems eating them?
Yang Gan, who originally didn't have a good impression of the Wounded Tooth Dragon, couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw that they could find food here.
For the time being, he didn't plan to disturb the Toothless Dragons eating, so he stayed lurking underwater, observing them; And as the tide rose, he moved forward a little to allow himself to see more clearly.
More and more waves are washing up on the tidal flats, and more and more small fish and crabs are being washed up, and the odontosaurs are not afraid of the high tide, and they have put down their work to find small crustacean creatures, and snatched the food that the waves brought them.
Not every odontosaurus has such good luck, some odontosaurs are lucky, and a larger fish is enough for today's dinner; More Toothless Dragons could only look for the small crustacean creatures, while waiting for the tide to rush up again and again, and then take advantage of the moment the tide fell, with eyes full of longing, scanned the place where the tide receded.
Looking at it, Yang Qian felt that these little things eating "seafood" seemed to look quite pitiful.
They can only survive by eating these things!
Wound-toothed dinosaurs were very intelligent among dinosaurs, and they could live well anywhere, whether by stealing eggs or bullying smaller creatures, but here, they had to rely on the beach to pick up some hard-shelled creatures, and pick up small fish and crabs at high tide as a food source.
"Wow!"
Another wave crashed into the tidal flats, and the saurs on the tidal flats were very experienced in hiding behind the reef to avoid being washed up directly by the waves, and it seemed that they must have lived on this tidal flat for a long time.
Another fish was washed up on a boulder, and several of the surrounding wounded dragons immediately stared at it, and when the tide receded, they rushed up and snatched it.
"Wow!"
The tide receded, and this was a lucky little fish that was carried down the reef by the retreating tide.
A toothless dragon that had been waiting a little impatiently could not hold back any longer, and it ventured out of the reef covering itself and pounced on the small fish.
It worked!
The small fish that had just escaped back into the water was successfully caught.
The surrounding companions watched with envy as it devoured the little fish, and they looked forward to the next tide even more.
The tide came as promised, and the tooth-dwelling dragon, which had just acquired a small fish, was so excited that it began to look for food in the water before the tide receded.
Luckily, it worked out again. Standing in the water, it swallowed the little fish so quickly that it forgot that it was still standing in the tide, and tragedy happened - it was carried away by the tide.
What was originally a smug cry turned into a frightened cry for help, which seemed so powerless in the sound of the tide. In the face of the rolling tide, its companions could not help it at all.
The body structure of the odontosaurs is more similar to that of birds, they are very light, and if they are inland, they are not afraid of the calm rivers and lakes.
But this is the sea.
The sea at high tide.
The sea at high tide in the Cretaceous period.
The sea that usually brings food to these tooth-wounded dragons, once they are in it, they immediately turn into demons that devour them.
The body of the odontosaurus only swirled in the sea, let out two screams, and then vanished.
Its companions didn't pay much attention to it, and they were used to it as they hunted by the sea.
This time, however, something seems to be different.
The tide receded, and the scarred dragons, who were looking for food on the reef flats, suddenly heard the cries of their companions who had been swept away by the tide.
It's a miracle that a companion who has never been swept away by the tide can reappear!
When they looked in the direction from which the voice came, they were stunned by the behavior of the companion.
The scarred tooth dragon swept away by the tide was waving its two forelimbs at this time, its head stretched out in the direction of the sky, and kept screaming in horror.
Soon the tide came, and the tooth-drenched dragon was immediately submerged by the tide, and when the tide receded, it remained in its previous position, screaming and struggling.
The tide was getting stronger, and the scarred tooth dragons on the reef and tidal flats were starting to lose their footing, and the leaders decided to evacuate the tidal flats with their tribe ahead of time.
Because what happened today is really strange, the tide has risen so much, but the companion can always fix his body in the middle of the sea and call for help to his companions, no matter how many times the tide comes, it has never moved a little position.
Soon, the scarlet dinosaurs were evacuated, and the scarlet in the sea was completely desperate, and it let out its last wail, waiting for the end of its life.
When the odontosaurus had all left, and could no longer be seen, wave after wave of the tide, the body of the odontosaurus slowly rose, and finally revealed a large claw holding its legs.
Then it began to move towards the shore, and slowly, on the surface of the sea, the body of the predator demon rose upright.
The tide roaring like a beast had little impact on Yang Gan, and the toothed dragon that he held in his claws was like his banner, with a terrified cry, setting off the predator demon's calm and incomparably calm forward.
When the tide was getting farther and farther behind him, Yang Gan, who had already walked out of the beach range, let go of the frightened hapless toothed dragon.
In this short period of time, this tooth-wounded dragon went from the joy of risking food to several times of life and death, and the repeated fright, so that after it suddenly fell to the ground at this time, it didn't know where it was running, so dizzy that it turned around and hit the tail of the big crocodile demon headfirst.
When it regained its direction and stumbled and began to flee, Yang Qian began to follow the trail of the Wounded Tooth Dragons in a good time.
Sure enough, there is the exit of the canyon by the sea ahead, and my judgment is very prepared.
At this time, Yang Qian couldn't be in a hurry, even if there was no last panicked and dizzy Tooth Wounded Dragon, just the footprints of the Toothless Dragons in front of him were enough for him to find the lair of the Toothless Dragons.
In fact, after discovering the secret of the toothless dragons' search for food, Yang Qian was too lazy to look at it, but it was not too late, and he was idle anyway, so he went to take a look.
Entering from this side of the canyon, there is no trace of spider silk on the way, but on the peaks on both sides of the canyon, the shadow of spider silk can still be faintly seen.
On a whim, Yang Qian simply abandoned the easier canyon, came to the peak again, and slowly followed along the peak.
The figure of a tooth-breaking dragon appeared in front of him, and the crocodile demon who had gathered his breath did not attract the attention of this tooth-breaking dragon, so he could clearly see what this tooth-breaking dragon was busy with.
It's digging a hole.
Not far from it, there were several other Wounded Tooth Dragons staring motionlessly at the ground, as if waiting for something.
"Giggle!"
There was a cry of excitement, and a waiting tooth-breaking dragon suddenly jumped to its feet, and then chased forward.
In front of it, a small gray creature was desperately fleeing.
It's a small creature that's about the same size as a mouse.
Although he knew that there were already mammals in the Cretaceous period, Yang Qian didn't see much, but he still knew about this thing.
Although the name of this little creature may not be called a mouse, at least, it looks like a mouse on the outside.
The frantically fleeing little mouse could not escape the pursuit of the Toothless Dragon, and soon it became food for the Toothless Dragon.
The other Toothless Dragons were unmoved, and waited quietly.
What a disciplined little guy with a surname.
Yang Gan, who had changed his opinion of these tooth-wounded dragons because of their spirit in the predicament, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
It is estimated that there will definitely not be only one mouse in such a cave.
Sure enough, when Yang Qian quietly turned to leave, he heard another excited shout.
It seems that the tooth-wounded dragons have gained again.
Then walking forward, Yang Qian saw this situation a few more times. And on the ground, more and more caves that have been abandoned after excavation also prove that this should be another food source for the Toothless Dragons.
In order to survive, the creatures of nature did everything they could, and the toothy dragons, who could always survive easily and happily elsewhere, actually learned to look for conchs, clams, crabs, small fish on the beach, and dig mice in the dirt.
Yang Gan, who felt that he had completely found the truth, was ready to go back.
As he walked, he even thought amusefully, if these toothless dragons continued to live like this, maybe it wouldn't be long before they would be able to catch fish!
