Chapter 5 White Lotus
The water of the river is not as clear as expected, but it looks very dirty, I wonder if it is the result of those ancestral horses stirring just now.
Qiao Hua looked into the water and saw that his appearance was particularly clear in the reflection.
It has a large front jaw, short forelimbs, and a white belly, and two wide nostrils that resemble two chimneys.
I don't know if this kind of appearance is considered a handsome guy in the dinosaur world.
"Shouldn't it, why are there so few fish?"
Qiao Hua wandered along the river for a long time, and to his surprise, there were only a few shadows of fish inside, all of which were fleeting. From time to time, a few frogs scurried out of the grass into the river, making a long mark on the calm surface of the river.
What surprised him the most was that although there were not many fish, a strong fishy smell wafted through the air. And under the cover of the heavy fishy smell, there seems to be a strong smell of blood!
Qiao Hua has been reborn as a dinosaur since he was beaten, and his five senses have become extremely acute. He was sure that the smell of blood was not caused by the Middle-clawed beasts eating the Archaeopteryx, but rather from the upper reaches of the river, and with a particularly murderous aura.
Could it be that there are carnivores hunting in the upper reaches of the river?
Although he has always known the phrase "curiosity kills cats", Qiao Hua still couldn't help but want to find out at this time. He was eager to see for himself what kind of killing feast could unleash such a bloody aura.
After all, I am also a carnivore, so I may be able to learn some experience from my predecessors.
The scale of this river is not very large, and the width is only twenty or thirty meters at most. Compared to other places, the river bank is relatively open, and it is easy to see the situation from a few hundred meters away.
Qiao Hua paid special attention to the smell around him, and felt that he seemed to have entered the territory of some kind of creature, and he couldn't help but be more cautious, ready to slip away at any time.
A few minutes later, as he rounded a bend in the river, he suddenly heard a lap on the water, and he was horrified by what he saw.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
As far as the eye can see, the river is densely packed with all kinds of fish, and they are rushing towards a bulge in the center of the river like a pilgrimage.
And what made Qiao Hua feel incredible was that the thing floating high in the center of the river turned out to be a white lotus in full bloom!
Qiao Hua really looked at it.
The petals full of texture, the shape with a sense of Zen, and the charm that is difficult to hide when in full bloom is undoubtedly a white lotus!
The lotus seemed to be surrounded by a transparent hard substance, and the swimming fish, as they scrambled towards the white lotus, could not touch it at all.
A soft glow swirls over the blister, giving it an eerie aura.
Qiao Hua felt that Zhang Er was at a loss for this.
Although it is true that the lotus flower appeared in the Mesozoic Era, and is still alive and well into the 21st century, and has existed on the earth for more than 100 million years, there is absolutely no reason for it to appear here alone.
What's more, there is a strange layer of water bubbles on top of the lotus!
The sense of disobedience in this scene is so strong that Qiao Hua can't help but want to step forward to see the truth.
But before it could take a step, it suddenly heard a loud noise from underwater.
"Wow!"
A fat crocodile suddenly burst out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, swallowed many fish into its stomach in one go, and then sank to the bottom of the river as fast as lightning!
All that was left on the surface of the river was a huge whirlpool, and the crimson blood diluted by the water.
"It's a grass!"
Qiao Hua felt a blank in his mind. I was looking at the weird white lotus just now, but I didn't notice that there was such a behemoth lurking inside.
It hurriedly hid in the bushes to the side to observe the situation.
In the Cenozoic, dinosaurs declined, and crocodiles became the dominant players in freshwater, and this status continued for tens of millions of years.
Qiao Hua roughly estimated the length of this crocodile's body, at least three or four meters, it should be an adult crocodile.
If I had grown for another year and a half, I wouldn't have to take it seriously, but now I only have the share of being tortured and killed.
Qiao Hua was even more curious at this time. What is the magic of that white lotus that makes the fish flock to it, even ignoring the danger around it?
If he had seen this kind of scene before he was reborn, Qiao Hua would have thought that he had seen a ghost. But now he just looked at it with curiosity and awe. Intuitively, Qiao Hua knew that it must be a good thing.
"Whew-"
Although the fish in the middle of the river were still churning, the crocodiles were completely fed, lost interest in predation, and slowly crawled out of the river to bask on the shore.
Qiao Hua caught a glimpse of the big crocodile's lower abdomen bulging high, it seemed that it was not because it was too full, but it was likely that she was pregnant, and it seemed quite difficult to even move.
Crocodiles are originally social animals, but they only carve out a territory on their own before laying eggs. Judging from this, this crocodile should have come from another section of the river.
When the baby crocodiles born by this crocodile grow to a certain extent, this section of the river may be the world of these crocodiles, and even the group of middle-clawed beasts will have no place to stand.
Qiao Hua was not interested in the fight between them, and what really attracted him was the dense schools of fish. No wonder there are so few fish in other places, and they all come here.
So many fish, enough to eat for many years, Qiao Hua thought with his saliva in his throat.
He thought that this time he would return in vain, but at this moment, the white lotus hidden in the middle of the bubble suddenly closed its petals, and at the same time, the fish also spread out as if the pilgrimage had been completed, swimming in all directions.
It's weird, this white lotus flower is so fucking weird!
Because the mother crocodile was still there, Qiao Hua gave up the idea of going to find out what was going on with the lotus flower. The coming days are long, and the most important thing is to fill your stomach first.
A few seconds later, Qiao Hua saw the big crocodile's eyes narrowed, and hurriedly turned around and ran after the fish towards the downstream of the river.
In order to eat the fish, Qiao Hua put a lot of effort into it. He ran quickly from the shore to a bend downstream, then stood still, leaning forward with his upper body as steady as possible.
When the fish come running, they can stick their mouths into the river with a slight probe. I have a lot of ability to tear objects with a big mouth of blood, and I don't know how to use it to catch fish.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiao Hua posed by the river, the water surface upstream set off ripples, and the fish surged downstream like a tide!
The water was churning, and a dense school of fish moved downstream, with the occasional few leaping into the air as if performing acrobatics, and then falling again. They didn't seem to notice that a small dinosaur was standing motionless by the river, its mouth only a few centimeters above the river, waiting for the wisher to take the bait.
Here it comes!
Qiao Hua saw a group of fish swimming over, quickly locked onto a palm-sized fish, and poked his head down with lightning speed.
"Roar—"
Nima, it's falling!
Qiao Hua obviously overestimated his ability to master balance, and at the moment he suddenly lowered his head, he felt the center of his body move forward instantly, and suddenly fell into the deep river.
"Roar... Goo... Roar ......"
Qiao Hua struggled and flicked the heads of the fish in the river with his claws, trying to get back to the shore. But the depth of the river was far beyond his imagination.
After a few seconds, only a few bubbles remained on the surface of the river.
"Gollum-"
In fear, Qiao Hua flicked his two hind paws indiscriminately, and at the same time, the thin and short forelimbs also began to exert force.
What he didn't expect was that after a few seconds of adaptation, it not only brought his body to the surface, but was even able to control the direction of movement of his body.
Qiao Hua would not have thought that the mark he had scratched on a stone in the river in his panic just now would become a reappearance for scientists thousands of years later, and thus overturn the idea that six living dinosaurs could not swim.
At this point, he was immersed in the new skill he had just learned. Although the movement of the limbs is not very flexible, it is enough to float on its own. Qiao Hua swam and floated like this, and only after eating several small fish did he go ashore.
This incident gave Qiao Hua a lot of confidence. He had been bound by the conclusions of experts thousands of years later, thinking that dinosaurs could not swim. But now that he thinks about it, those old men who claim to be experts are just reasoning and conjecture based on some information, but he is now a dignified dinosaur, why don't he try some things himself?
So there is a little dinosaur in the world who has an ideal on this day: he wants to become the most skilled dinosaur in the world, and he will record these things.
Probably tens of millions of years later, an old man with glasses will hold some fragments of broken stones and shout excitedly: "it, reappear, dinosaurs are intelligent creatures!"
Thinking about this, Qiao Hua felt that his future life could still be very interesting.
