Chapter 27: Temptation
On the bank of the river, a group of swaggering dinosaurs are drinking water.
To say that they are ostentatious is not an exaggeration at all. In terms of appearance, these dinosaurs are relatively short with hind limbs, while with long forelimbs, and it seems that they should be plant-eating dinosaurs that are good at living in the forest, because the short hind limbs are not suitable for running in the wilderness. The head is not big, and it looks like a deer or something; The body is getting lower and lower from head to tail, and when it reaches the tail that has become sharply smaller, it drags directly to the ground.
This is not the reason for their swagger, because the most striking thing is not these, but the long thorns that slip from their backs.
It's not the shape of a stegosaurus deck, it's not an ankylosaur-like bulge, it's just a long, slender spines relative to their body.
Their size is only a dozen meters, but these long spines, almost each of which is about three meters, start at the back of the neck and grow to the tail.
Because of these peculiar spines, they were honored to receive the name of the crocodile leader in the Sancha River area, called the Thorny Dragon. And even more honored, they're about to join a crocodile leader's recipe.
At this time, Yang Qian was observing his new recipe.
The creatures here are not inferred by common sense, maybe a certain kind of docile dinosaur is a bloodthirsty killer, and the guys who can survive here and live well have their own skills.
Hunting and being hunted, there is nothing wrong with caution at all times.
After making sure that there was no danger, Yang Gan swung his tail vigorously, and his body jumped up with the help of the current.
The sudden attack made these thorny dragons panic, and the thorny dragon, which was targeted by Yang Gan, subconsciously shrank its head between the two forelimbs, trying to curl its body into a ball - if it could curl up smoothly, then all the long spines would be protected along with the head.
However, Yang Qian was not an ordinary dinosaur, his speed was fast, and the short breath was not enough to prepare the spiny dragon. Before the thorny dragon could dodge its head, it was bitten by a huge mouth with more than 100 white teeth, and then Yang Qian quickly dragged it into the water with the help of his body.
Yang Qian was very satisfied with his blow, and when he was in the air, he slightly adjusted the position of his big mouth attack in a short period of time, and successfully bit the target's head.
This is also the hunting technique that he began to develop after adjusting the length of his neck slightly, and before that, he chose more body parts with relatively slow reaction speed as the target for his lower mouth.
The head of the thorny dragon that entered the water made a sound of bones shattering, and its final struggle lasted only a few moments before it was completely lifeless. However, Yang Qian did not eat immediately, but dragged its corpse and swam towards the bottom of the riverbank.
The location Yang Qian chose was the location where he observed the shark-toothed dragons hunting the seismosaurs.
At this time, a huge skeleton stood in the field, and some small flying dinosaurs were looking for possible food residues in the middle.
Surrounded by a group of lazy shark-toothed dragons.
These sharkodonts enjoyed their food here for two or three months, and even though the food later rotted and even gave off an unpleasant smell, they still didn't care.
There are countless carnivorous dinosaurs in the middle trying to get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately in the face of the strength of the shark-toothed dragons, they can only retreat. The only thing that can take advantage of it is the scavenging pterosaur in the sky. Like flies, they hovered in the sky and made unpleasant calls. Whenever the sharkodonts moved a little farther away after eating, they would rush up and take a few bites of it.
Now the scavenging pterosaurs in the sky are gone, and only skeletons are left in the field. However, during this time, the well-fed shark-toothed dragons apparently developed feelings for this place, and seemed to be ready to take root here, and they still linger on it.
These carnivorous dragons don't need to eat every day, so they haven't recorded any new predations, just roaming around, occasionally frolicking and fighting each other.
But the smell of blood soon attracted them.
On the bank of the river, a dinosaur with half of its body in the water was feasting, and he did not care about the shark-toothed dragon in the distance, and also divided the food into countless small pieces, making the taste of blood even stronger.
Pieces of flesh were torn off, and then the crocodile opened its mouth and began to swallow, and the shallow waters along the river were stained with a layer of scarlet, which was particularly dazzling in the sun.
Yang Gan was gulping down the meat, and his paws were still hitting those bone spurs from time to time, making a clanging sound.
This is the bone spur of the spinosaurus, which is completely different from the rhinoceros horn or something. The bone shields and bone spurs that grew out of the Cretaceous dinosaurs were all real bones, and they were definitely not good-looking things. It's no wonder that guys like spiny dragons are fearless.
Why don't you take advantage of the time that the group of thorny dragons stay around here to hunt a few more and save some bone spurs?
I don't know when I can use it again!
The tinkling sound was crisp and pleasant, but listening to the ears of the shark-toothed dragon, which was stimulated by the smell of blood, was more like a provocation. They were already ready to move, but they began to move towards the river.
This group of sharkodonts was not a single group, but a group of small groups that were temporarily united. Even the largest leader of the shark-toothed dragon only has temporary dominance. If it hadn't led everyone to hunt the Seismosaurus, there would have been no Sharkodontosaurus to buy it.
At this time, things like snatching food would have required the leadership of the leader, but unfortunately, the shark-toothed dragons were stimulated by the smell of blood, and the discipline of hunting earthquake dragons was gone, and they rushed to the river in groups of three or five. As the leader, the shark-toothed dragon naturally couldn't retreat at this time, so it could only follow.
Yang Qian, who was on the riverside, had long expected this situation, these bloodthirsty killers, when facing a powerful opponent, were definitely a disciplined army, but when facing a dire crocodile of their own, it was most normal to behave like this.
In their opinion, there is only one dire crocodile, and compared to their number of more than twenty, they cannot be called opponents at all.
If it is an ordinary dinosaur, there is only one choice at this time, quickly drag the food and run away, if you can't drag it away, then you can only run away alone.
The same was true for Yang Gan, who began to make movements to drag the food and then tried to retreat towards the water.
The shark-toothed dragons began to be unsettled, and seeing that the dinosaur was about to completely submerge in the water, and the prey had already entered the water, they accelerated their progress.
If you can pick up food for nothing, especially fresh food, these meat-eating guys will definitely not waste any effort to hunt on their own.
