Chapter 59: The Fish That Eats Dinosaurs

Hedgehog dragons have some yellow-green cortex on their skin, which looks like protective colors, distributed throughout the epidermis, matching their surroundings, which can sometimes be difficult to distinguish, but their rude way of drinking water cannot escape the keen touch of predators.

However, hedgehog dragons are covered with thorns, and the only place where they are not covered by thorns is to expose their mouths that are more than a foot long and four legs that fall to the ground, because the mouths need to eat, it is impossible for them to be full of thorns, and the legs are not convenient for long runs.

As long as the hedgehog dragon kneels on the ground on its four legs and shrinks its head a little, the spikes on its whole body can completely protect its body, and generally there are no impatient predators, and it may be difficult to break through its strong defenses for a while, and the hedgehog dragon is by no means a weak bird waiting to be killed, they will jump up and fight back at any time, and the thorns on their bodies are not vegetarian things.

Although the hedgehog dragon's spikes look terrifying, the guy lurking underwater is gradually getting closer to the target, and no one can see where the big guy is, although the lake water is crystal clear in some places, but the depth of the lake in most areas is more than 20 meters, and with the various plants growing in the water, it is difficult to see the real situation under the water from the surface of the water.

Zhang Jun has been staring at the direction of the hedgehog dragon and observing, he is also a carnivore, and he knows that the thunderous blow is coming, and this blow will decide the fate of one of the hedgehog dragons.

All kinds of birds and pterosaurs still fly above the lake, swimming, frolicking, preying, and the jungle is also harmonious, a few winged green-skinned lizards on the trees are jumping around on the branches, they jump from one branch to another more than ten meters away, effortlessly, because they have a pair of wings that can glide, although they cannot fly, but this is enough for them to react quickly, escape the attacks of predators such as snakes and their kind, or rodents that can climb trees, and the carnivorous dinosaurs on the ground have no way to take them.

The tranquility and harmony of the jungle were immediately and mercilessly shattered by an astonishing splash on the shore of the lake, and an animal with a pointed beak more than a meter long that looked like a fish, but more like an animal, was a dolphin.

However, it has a longer mouth, a short sharp tooth, limbs under its abdomen, which are close to the fins of a fish, and it looks like it cannot walk on all fours, and it also has a high erected dorsal fin on its back, and its skin is blue and gray.

The splash was stirred up in an instant, and all the animals did not notice the previous threat, and when it came, it screamed in horror, and the loudest one was the hedgehog dragon of the group of people involved.

Most of the hedgehog dragons were quick to react, and the clarity of the lake water allowed them to spot the predator in advance, but one hedgehog dragon with a slower reaction lagged behind, and when it desperately shrank its head in order to make the best defensive stance, the long, sharp mouth was already bitten into its mouth.

Zhang Jun saw that it was an ichthyosaur, it was a marine reptile and generally did not appear in fresh water, which made him a little surprised, this is an inland lake, how can there be an ichthyosaur living in it.

The hedgehog dragon pushed his limbs to his knees, increasing the friction between his body and the ground, trying to stop the ichthyosaur from dragging it into the water, but the ichthyosaur's sharp beak bit the hedgehog dragon's mouth and nose, so that the hedgehog dragon could not shrink its head.

The blood immediately stained the shore of the lake, and all the animals stopped playing, turned their heads in this direction, and observed the movement here, this huge predator is not common here, many animals are seeing it for the first time, I don't know where it came from, it is like a devil who suddenly came from hell, so that all animals immediately have a thick shadow in their hearts.

The other hedgehog dragons had already retreated in a panic, standing behind them scattered to watch the excitement, none of them would help the helpless companion, this is the cruelty and ruthlessness of this world, loneliness is everywhere.

The hedgehog dragon lasted for several minutes, and in the end, the two sides reached the moment of patience, and the final loser was the injured hedgehog dragon, which even felt difficult to breathe, and gradually became dizzy, and finally could not support it, and was dragged into the water little by little by the ichthyosaur, disappeared from its body, and left its last footprints by the lake.

The lake was once again as calm as it should be, and all the animals were once again in their former state, going about their business as if nothing had happened, some of them were busy hunting, some of them were busy grooming their feathers, and they were chasing each other a little as if nothing had happened before. Here, every day there are unlucky people who are preyed, they have long been commonplace, and the only thing they hope for is that the next one is not themselves, that is the greatest gift from God.

The ichthyosaur only showed half of its shadow, and most of its body was hidden under the water, but judging by the length of its mouth and the huge bite force of its teeth, it should be more than ten meters long, otherwise it would not easily knock down a hedgehog dragon with a body length of more than three meters.

Zhang Jun didn't know why ichthyosaurs appeared in the inner lake, and their usual predators were squid and fish in the sea, this time the target was a terrestrial dinosaur, which seemed a little unusual, he thought to himself that maybe the ichthyosaur was hungry and dared to eat anything.

Judging by the presence of ichthyosaurs here, Zhang Jun is wondering whether this lake is connected to the sea, or maybe there are rivers or other waters nearby that can be connected to the ocean, otherwise ichthyosaurs will not be able to enter this inner lake to hunt at all, usually, even crocodiles will not appear easily here, they are all animals that like to live in flowing river water, where the space is more vast, the food source is more abundant, and there is the paradise of these water overlords.

Zhang Jun decided to find time to wander around the lake to see if he could find a path to the sea, where there might be more food resources, and when the dry season came, he needed to lead the dragons to a wider area to find the huge animals, and develop new hunting grounds in advance.

Thinking that the shore of the lake would be quiet, Zhang Jun was lying on the grass and napping, but then there was a tremor that made him start to concentrate again.

Zhang Jun suddenly felt that the earth was trembling, as if it was an earthquake, and his body shook with the ground, but after he listened carefully, he found that this tremor was much more regular than an earthquake, it happened all at once, like the feeling of a heavy hammer hitting the ground, and the surrounding branches and leaves were trembling slightly.

Zhang Jun turned his head and looked around at the reactions of the animals around him, and found that they were all busy with nothing to do, as if they were not worried about this sudden tremor, if it was an earthquake, it would obviously not be so harmonious.

Soon, Zhang Jun found several huge figures coming from the jungle and approaching the lake where he was, which were five giants with a body length of more than fifty meters, with a neck of nearly twenty meters and a height of more than ten meters.
