Chapter 53: The Drifting Fruit of Crescent Lake
The tranquil beauty of the lake and the mighty beauty of the river are completely different.
On the calm surface of the lake, the breeze blows, rippling layers of ripples, those fish jumping in the water, and even a huge plesiosaur, stirring up scattered waves; Between movement and stillness, a strange picture is formed.
Especially for the dinosaur crocodile who has trekked for days in the dry wilderness, this is paradise.
Yang Gan almost howled and rushed into the lake, before the splashing waves fell, he had already swam hundreds of meters in the lake, and then suddenly jumped up from the water, his huge body flew lightly in the air, and once again drilled into the river, frightening the surrounding creatures, including the plesiosaur, to avoid from afar.
These words, the boredom of the journey, and the joy of gaining new abilities, these are all things that Xiaoqing can't understand. It can feel whether it is happy or depressed, but it never understands what it is happy about and what it is depressed!
Sometimes, whether it's pain or achievement, if you don't share it with your own kind, it makes the pain more painful and the achievement less fulfilling.
But these two are all accounted for by the crocodile.
So after seeing the rippling blue water, he seemed a little overexcited.
Then he floated on the water, his tail swinging gently, and swam towards the lake, looking at the blue sky and clear water, and only felt relaxed and happy.
Just as he was at ease, he felt as if he had forgotten something?
Then he accelerated suddenly, like an arrow from a string, and the two sides of the water parted, leaving behind him two huge waves that rushed towards the shore.
As soon as he landed on the shore, he immediately tore open the python skirt around his waist with his paws, and trembled with it.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
Two bone spears fell.
"Poof!"
A small lizard fell out.
Yang Qian was so excited when he saw the water just now, he forgot that now the little lizard prefers to get into his python skin skirt, which does not affect the scenery, and does not have to worry about falling, the only disadvantage is that he can't directly spread his wings and fly high.
Fortunately, the little lizard was not as fragile as expected, and even after a short swim in the lake, it only spit a few mouthfuls of water and recovered.
"Chirp!"
The little lizard that had just recovered began to scream angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with the behavior of his companion taking him to the bottom of the lake, looking at its angry appearance, Yang Qian was relieved.
There is a mental outburst to prove that it is really okay.
But how do you find something to comfort it?
Looking up, several strange trees in the distance caught his eye.
The same thick bare trunk, until the very top, there were only a few branches, and some green leaves grew, which looked particularly strange, because the branches and leaves of this tree were too few, and they grew together, and the growth range was also very small.
What Yang Qian noticed was that between the leaves of these trees, there seemed to be faint round fruits?
He pointed at the angry little lizard, pointed at the trees over there, then picked up his python skin skirt and wrapped it around his waist, stuck two bone spears, and swam along the shore of the lake towards the trees.
As for Xiaoqing, its anger was only for a while, and when it saw Yang Gan's signal, it immediately regained its calm, followed Yang Gan for a while, and then lazily lay on the wide back of the dire crocodile and hitchhiked.
When I looked closer, I realized that these trees looked like the overlord trees of Africa hundreds of millions of years later, but they bore clusters of coconut-like fruits.
It's rare that these fruits can still grow here unharmed, and the creatures here, even if they are not flying, have many large dinosaurs that can bite these fruits by stretching their necks.
It seems that the fruit has its own peculiarity! Anyway, Yang Qian didn't bother to think about it, so when he took it off and looked at it, he naturally understood.
Gesturing towards the little lizard for a while, Xiaoqing immediately understood what he meant.
"Chirp!" It flew up to the top of the tree, and circled around the clusters of fruit a few times, and then found its target, and lay down on the root of one of the clusters, and began to gnaw at the place where the fruit was stalking.
"Chirp!"
Half a day has passed, and Xiaoqing, who has not moved at all and returned in vain, is obviously very disappointed, and is very ashamed that he can't even do this thing.
Yang Qian generously forgave it, since these fruits can grow here, there must be something extraordinary, if it is not that it cannot be used as food at all, it is that there is something special about it, and ordinary dinosaurs can't eat it.
Now it seems that its special feature is that it is particularly sturdy.
Stretching out his claws and touching his bone spear, he felt that it was a bit unreliable to use this, and it was obviously too difficult to accurately shoot Guodi.
Looking around, there were no suitable stones, all of them were gravel.
Well, let's have some violence!
After scratching the trunk with his claws a few times, it felt not much different from ordinary trees - this was a new habit he had developed after discovering that there was such a plant as ironwood.
Then the crocodile took a few steps back, leaned at the trunk and rushed over.
"Bang!"
The giant body of the crocodile collided with the trunk of the tree, and the tree shook, but it did not fall, and the fruit did not fall.
Seeing that the tree was not far from the lake, it swam into the lake for a while, then turned around, suddenly swung its tail, and its huge body quickly rushed towards the shore of the lake, and when it was almost on the shore, the crocodile flew into the air.
"Bang!" "Click......"
It's still fast enough, and if you dig it down with your claws, it will take you a while.
When I finally got the fruit, I found that it was about twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter, and its claws scratched it, leaving only a mark, which looked harder than a stone.
However, there are already cracks growing on it, and it is estimated that it is about to mature. I think that this fruit will not grow so strong on the tree forever, and it should grow and crack on its own in the future, otherwise how to spread the seed will become a problem.
Cut along the crack, and immediately revealed the flesh inside.
I dug up a large piece of flesh and came out, it didn't look like it was poisonous, and I was thinking about whether to taste it, only to find that Xiaoqing was already lying on top of the other half of the fruit, and the small mouth was chirping happily.
It should be no poison, Xiaoqing originally lived in the woods, and he must have more experience in identifying fruits than himself.
He threw a large piece of pulp into the air, then caught it with his mouth open, and rolled down his throat and down his stomach.
Nothing was felt.
Yang Qian looked at Xiaoqing, who was eating sweetly, a little dejectedly, and wondered why this little guy who had been eating meat liked to eat such fruits? It doesn't seem to have any magical effect, right?
"Chirp! Haw! ”
There is also a large pit in the middle of the fruit, which is actually not much pulp. Xiao Qing quickly finished gnawing one, and didn't move the core, but shouted at Yang Gan again.
Yang Qian had no choice but to take another fruit, cut it hard, and then threw it to it.
Lying in the lake and watching Xiaoqing eat with nothing to do, Yang Qian felt that he was not as happy as this little guy, and he was jealous again.
When he accidentally saw half a fruit husk floating in the lake, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, then picked up a few fruits and began to get busy.
Soon, a fruit was made by him with a hole in it, hollowing out the flesh and pit inside. Then he made several small wooden boards out of branches, carved a few small patterns on them, stuffed them into the husk, and used a piece of wood to plug the hole in the husk, and an inexplicable thing appeared.
Next, he picked up another fruit and was about to dig a hole, when he suddenly felt a little stupid, so he simply didn't dig the hole, and carved some inexplicable patterns directly on the hard husk, and then put it aside.
It didn't take long for all the fruits to be carved into different patterns by him, and they were neatly placed in front of him.
Dangdangdang!
cheered in my heart, the Cretaceous version of the "Drifting Bottle", no, the "Drifting Fruit" is freshly baked.
This lake is too big, he is standing here, that is, he can barely see a small island in the center of the lake, if he wants to play it little by little, it must take a lot of effort, and he still has to find the little horned dragons, but there is not so much effort.
So let these drifting fruits go to the lake instead of yourself!
As for whether a certain creature can be found, and whether it can understand its inexplicable and wonderful patterns in the Cretaceous period, it can only be seen by God. He didn't have much hope for himself anyway, it was just a play.
Of course, this lake must be named, according to the place that Yang Qian could see, the shore of the lake formed a curved arc, he automatically added the general shape of the entire lake in his mind, and then named it: Crescent Lake.
As for the field around this lake, it is called Thrushbara.
Isn't the crescent moon like an eyebrow?
Ignoring the little lizard's resentful eyes, he threw all the drifting fruits into the lake, looking at the drifting fruits in the lake and drifting away along the breeze, Yang Qian felt like a poet at the moment.
A wandering poet who has traveled through infinite time and space, standing at the other end of the long river of time and space, reading beside the crescent lake in the thrush plain, leisurely sighing about the magnificence of hundreds of millions of years ago, accompanied only by a small green lizard.
He suddenly became a little more poetic, and began to brew suitable verses in his heart.
Thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking hard, searching the intestines and scraping the belly, racking your brains, scratching your ears and scratching your cheeks.
After thinking about it for a long time, before he could think of the verses, he suddenly saw a scene of the terrible scenery that made him angry.
Several plesiosaurs swam gracefully in the lake and came to his side of the drifting fruits, and one plesiosaur tentatively bit the drifting fruits, and then suddenly came to his senses...... Rattle, he ate his drifting fruit, which was filled with infinite poetry!
Seeing that his companion had eaten a fruit, the other plesiosaurs also learned one after another, and in Yang Gan's anger, those drifting fruits were left in a blink of an eye.
"Woo ......"
In an instant, the wandering lonely poet, who had traveled through infinite time and space, turned into a terrifying predator demon, roared, rushed into the lake, and rushed towards the dazed plesiosaurs......
(The predator demon will be strongly pushed at two o'clock at noon today, friends who don't have a collection remember to collect, in addition, can I start booking a monthly pass?) )
(At 0:00 o'clock in the night, the website changed the list, if you have friends who haven't rested, remember to help me vote a few times!) )
