Chapter 44: Catching Fish

Early the next morning, after Zhang Jun finished admiring the seaside, he let out a dragon roar and called the dragons to continue their journey. The island looks so big that there is no end in sight, and it is not estimated that it can be completed in a day or two, and the mountain in the middle of the island seems to be close, but it seems to be out of reach.

Zhang Jun found himself moving along the coastline, but he was getting farther and farther away from the peak, and he looked forward to crossing the edge of the gas-covered area as soon as possible, finding an oasis, and then winding around the mountain.

In the following days, Zhang Jun was on the road, and on the seventh day, the dragons finally couldn't stand the hunger, and several large male dragons were hungry and panicked, and kept calling on the road, reminding the leader that they needed to stop and look for suitable prey, Zhang Jun couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take them to a beach.

There is a gray-white sand beach here, about a mile long, the beach is not wide, only about 50 meters, and then there is a small slope leading to the woods on the embankment.

This beach is not lonely, Zhang Jun wandered for a while, and found that there were some traces of animal activity on the beach, there were traces of heavy objects pressed out of it, some were a line leading to the sea, some were irregular paw prints, and body indentations, which seemed to be left by some small animals.

Soon Zhang Junbian saw a palm-length small shrimp crawling on the beach, this shrimp is not much different from later generations, but a pair of pincers looks more powerful and powerful, if the ordinary small fish is clamped, it will definitely be difficult to escape.

Arthropods in this era are very prosperous, hundreds of millions of years ago in the ocean, arthropods were the first to flourish, they were earlier than the age of reptiles, when the shrimp in ancient times could be more than two meters long, is one of the terrifying killers in the ocean, Zhang Jun does not know this era, there is no such terrifying giant shrimp.

But Zhang Jun, who has seen giant pythons, dragonflies and monitor lizards, feels that anything can happen in this world, after all, the research on fossils in later generations is very one-sided, and the animal species found are far less than the data that should have been available in this era, so Zhang Jun believes very much that in the ocean, there may not only be giant shrimp, but also giant creatures that scientists have never discovered.

The sea here seems calm, but Zhang Jun knows that there is a great danger involved, but in order to fill his stomach, they have to start looking for food on the beach.

Something is better than nothing, Zhang Jun walked quickly to the dark brown shrimp that was still crawling on the beach, the guy seemed to have never seen such a large land animal approach, and soon it sensed the danger, and began to crawl towards the surging tide a few meters away.

But Zhang Jun can catch up with the shrimp dozens of steps in one step, obviously the little guy can't run away, Zhang Jun used his sharp teeth to bite its seemingly hard shell, and swallowed it directly into the esophagus, but this kind of small fish and shrimp is not even a snack, and he almost feels nothing when he eats it.

"You must find a big fish to come over and satisfy your hunger." Zhang Jun continued to search the shore to see if there were any big discoveries, and maybe he could meet a few fish swimming to the shore to satisfy his hunger.

It is very difficult to catch fish empty-handed, because Zhang Jun and other Allosaurus mouths are not sharp enough, and they can't be like dinosaurs with long and sharp mouths, good at preying on fish in the water.

At this time, the smaller dinosaurs had more advantages, their mouths were shorter, their bodies were closer to the water, and their small areas were more flexible. Catching a fish requires not brute force, but skill, and the body needs to move flexibly with its claws and mouth, and to leap and stride.

Bald and Big Al kicked and stomped nearby to stir up waves of water, they were chasing the bony fish in the water and chasing around, these fish have evolved hard vertebrae, not cartilaginous fish in ancient times, they are of different sizes, most of what Zhang Jun saw were between a few inches and half a meter, no big fish were found nearby, it seemed that it would take a little more effort to catch some more small fish to stuff the belly.

The dragons began to reach the shallow water, and began to look for their own prey, the coast here is relatively calm, and the waves are not big, so it creates an opportunity for the dragons to hunt, but each Allosaurus has different skills, and the food it eats in the stomach is different.

It is not possible to round up fish in a collective way, so they have to go their separate ways, and whoever catches the most fish will eat the most, and the role of flexible surnames and skills is fully reflected at this time.

Doing this can also promote Allosaurus to use its brain to think about how to catch the fish, how to wait for the fish to take the bait with static braking, or how to use the claws and mouth together to improve the success rate of hunting, which is a lesson for them, which requires continuous learning and training to achieve results.

Zhang Jun suddenly jumped high and jumped towards a brown spotted fish more than half a meter long a few meters away, he stood in the water and did not move, he had already found that the fish was swimming around in the water, and when it swam to a suitable distance, only three meters away, Zhang Jun suddenly attacked.

Zhang Jun used his two claws and mouth together, surrounded on three sides, and grabbed the fat little fish, this time the emperor lived up to his wishes, he tried more than a dozen times, and finally succeeded once, the little fish with four fins, the head and eyes were very large, and the chubby little fish was caught in his hand, and the corners of his mouth immediately showed a proud look.

Zhang Jun swallowed this guy in one bite without hesitation, which was a small chicken leg compared to the little shrimp just now, and it tasted quite delicious.

Dragons don't have any food other than fish for the time being, and they can't eat plants because they have digestive enzymes in their stomachs that can only digest meat, but not plant fiber, which is one of the biggest differences between carnivores and herbivores.

The waves were rolling on the beach, and a dozen Allosaurus were tumbling and tossing in the shallow water, a busy scene, all of them were out for food, and they were all busy, like the people working collectively in the production team.

Zhang Jun was not happy to catch fish with his claws and mouth, and then he took the wooden spear from the camel mother dragon, the three-meter-long wooden spear can attack fish from a distance, and stab it unexpectedly, similar to the function of a harpoon, just so that he can exercise the dexterity of his hands and claws again.

A small fish stupidly swam a few meters in front of Zhang Jun, it seemed to be very confident, the big guy at the water's edge was impossible to catch itself, but then it saw the tall and stout guy suddenly wave a strange thing, piercing itself, and then it found that there was immediately a blood hole on its back, and the blood immediately flowed out, staining a small piece of the sea.
