Chapter 80: The Raid
Qiao Hua initially thought that this color change was affected by the sun's rays. When the sun's rays are strong, the body color tends to be warm, and when the light is dim, it becomes cool.
But after some probing, the dwarf tyrannosaurus realized that the change in light was only a superficial phenomenon, and that the real change in body color was actually the temperature. Because when he buried part of his body in the cool water, he saw that the underwater part had unconsciously turned blue, and the surface part of the water was still warm yellow.
In this way, if you can control the temperature of your body, you can also control the change in the color of your skin. But this is also what makes Qiao Hua feel helpless.
As an ectothermic animal, the body temperature of a dinosaur cannot be controlled within a small range like that of a mammal, but will change with the change of external temperature, which means that his color will change for various reasons, including the intensity of the sun's rays, the temperature of the water, the amount of exercise, etc.
So when this dwarf tyrannosaurus came out of the water, it used its abdomen as a demarcation, and its whole body became half red and half blue, along with the strange turtle shell on its head, it looked full of a sense of disobedience.
"Squeak!"
The kernel stared at this direction for a long time, and finally confirmed that this strangely colored dwarf tyrannosaurus was Qiao Hua. But the little squirrel didn't understand how he could have become like this overnight.
However, the curiosity of the kernel only lasted for a moment before it disappeared, because the dwarf tyrannosaurus had returned to the tree, absentmindedly eating the whale meat below.
The little squirrel looked down for a moment, and a feeling of mental rather than physical hunger gradually came to him. But it didn't dare to blatantly huddle next to the dwarf tyrannosaurus to eat meat, so it could only run down from the tree and sit next to it from a distance, occasionally picking up some meat scraps thrown by the dwarf tyrannosaurus to eat.
Even when he was eating, Qiao Hua was still thinking about how to change the color of his body back. He also thought of some methods, but in the end they were all overturned by himself.
If you want to control the discoloration, you have to control the temperature of your body, and it is obviously impossible for you to do this as an ectothermic animal, so you must first have the ability to control the temperature like a thermostatic animal.
Let's not talk about whether you can turn on this ability and how long it will take. Even if you have this ability, you may not be able to turn your skin green again. Even if you can keep your body temperature constant, it's a big problem to keep it just at the temperature when it turns green.
After thinking about it like this for a long time, Qiao Hua decided to put this matter aside for now.
Even if you lose your camouflage color, you can't do sneak attacks anymore, at least you still have the ability to raid. Besides, now that this place has become its own territory, whale meat will be delivered to the door every day, so why bother with what color your skin is?
……
The banks of the wide river are areas with little vegetation. Because of the perennial seawater pouring into the river, although the area is abundant, it also accumulates a thick layer of salt, which even reflects a little luster under the sun. Only those plants that have very low requirements for the living environment will choose to take root here.
Fifty meters away from the river, there is a continuous forest. While receiving the nourishment of abundant groundwater resources, the plants and trees also provide abundant food resources for various plant-eating animals, and the prosperity of herbivorous animals has brought great blessings to carnivores.
In this way, a food chain is interconnected and presents a thriving scene from top to bottom.
However, hidden under the vigorous upward momentum on the surface is a murderous opportunity in all directions.
At this time, at the edge of the forest, a large tapir was raising its head to nibble on the branches and leaves of a low tree, seemingly distracted, but in fact looking to the other side from time to time.
A few hundred meters away, a dwarf tyrannosaurus with dark yellow skin on its head stood under a fruit tree, eating the small purple fruits on the ground with relish. On the tree, there was a little squirrel with strange behavior, throwing the fruits it picked one by one in front of the dwarf tyrannosaurus.
The tapir's heart was already full of doubts, not only about the skin color of the dwarf tyrannosaurus and the turtle shell hat on its head, but also about this strange combination of one big and one small. Intuition told it that these two seemingly peaceful animals seemed to be full of danger.
When the yellow one under the tree appeared. After the color dwarf tyrannosaurus glanced at him from time to time, the tapir felt even more panicked in his heart. With this inexplicable sense of unease, it decided to eat the young leaves at the bottom of the tree and leave.
Qiao Hua pretended to be very uncomfortable there, but the tapir opposite him had no intention of letting his guard down at all. Tapirs are extremely timid animals, so they are very wary of any creatures around them. Qiao Hua knew that as long as he moved forward, he would inevitably make this guy run away in fright.
It's been a few months since Qiao Hua's skin began to change color.
Ever since he had lost the camouflage ability he possessed, he had to rely on degree and strength every time he hunted. Fortunately, the body of this dwarf tyrannosaurus has been strengthened, and its degree and agility are not bad, except for the fatigue of chasing prey, food is not a problem.
At this time, in the face of the extremely vigilant tapir in front of him, Qiao Hua had no patience to wait any longer. Judging from the current situation, even if you wait for another half a day, the other party will still be like this, so it's better to start as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, the dwarf tyrannosaurus swallowed the last bite of cool fruit in its mouth, then turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the tapir.
"Uhhh
The huge body brought a gust of wind. Before the tapir could react, Qiao Hua had already jumped more than ten meters away. At the same time, the color of the dwarf tyrannosaurus's skin also changed from dark yellow to orange-red in an instant as its body temperature rose rapidly.
Although he had been keeping an eye on the movements of this suspicious dwarf tyrannosaurus, when he saw the other party rushing towards him so quickly, the tapir couldn't help but be taken aback, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
When it finally reacted, the distance between Qiao Hua and it had been shortened a lot. In desperation, the tapir turned around and ran quickly in the direction of the river.
This is something Qiao Hua had expected a long time ago.
Because tapirs are good swimmers, they generally choose to flee by water, and most carnivores will give up chasing when they see this situation.
But this time, the tapir happened to run into Qiao Hua, a demon among dinosaurs, a guy who was stored in the loophole of Gaia's consciousness.
