Chapter 4: The Killing Feast

"Woo-hoo!"

Qiao Hua stretched his whole body as far as he could, like a human stretching his waist, and suddenly felt refreshed.

He opened his eyes from the small pile of sand on the edge of the dome as usual, and saw a ray of light shining in from outside the cave entrance, and knew it was time for him to go out and forage for food again.

Every day when the sun rises, Qiao Hua will run outside the cave to wander around, inspecting the territory and solving the day's food problem along the way.

As his weight continued to grow, the newts and mice in the cave could no longer satisfy Qiao Hua's appetite. He began to learn to hunt higher-end prey, including small mammals and certain birds.

In the process of predation, Qiao Hua also gradually got to know many strange birds and beasts.

I don't know if the birds of this period have not yet fully evolved, and some large birds do not even have the ability to fly, but run around on the ground like mammals, which looks ridiculous.

The fast fine sand in the cave was originally for those giant eggs, but after Qiao Hua saw that they had no hope of hatching, he simply removed those dinosaur eggs and took the place for himself, and it was very comfortable to lie on it.

Staggering up from the ground, Qiao Hua swept it with his long tail, and the entire sand was cleaned up by him by the way. He couldn't help but make a "roar" sound from his mouth, and he was very satisfied with the housekeeping he had organized.

Qiao Hua went out today with a goal.

He wants to eat fish.

Even though it was early in the morning, the sun was already shining on the body with a warm breath. Qiao Hua curled up his front legs slightly, so that he could move more quickly.

After two months of adjustment, Qiao Hua has basically adapted to the current way of moving this body, and now his psychology has gradually undergone some changes, and he seems to be able to look at the world with the eyes of a dinosaur.

He's learned to enclose a piece of territory of his own. Every morning before hunting, Qiao Hua would run around his cave for hundreds of meters twice, not only to exercise his body, but also to leave his own smell around, and to see if there were any other predators invading.

As for the other side of this low mountain, Qiao Hua will never go over. Because every time he reaches the top of the mountain, he smells a smell left by an unknown creature. For a little dinosaur like him who didn't have any hair, it was better to stay in his territory honestly.

Today, Qiao Hua is going to do a big thing. Tired of eating the little animals around him every day, he decided to run to the small river not far away to catch a few fish to try.

This may sound simple, but it's actually dangerous.

Because to get to that river, you have to walk at least nearly five miles. And after going down the low mountain, it will no longer be Qiao Hua's territory, if a large carnivore is killed on the way, he will belong to the kind of prey sent to the door, even if he takes a face, he will be killed by the other party.

And, even if you get to the river, you don't know what is there. When Qiao Hua usually stands halfway up the mountain, he can overlook the scene in a small section of the river. Every once in a while, the herbivores by the river would run in a certain direction as fast as they could, as if they had been attacked by something.

The reason why Qiao Hua had to go to the river as if he wanted to die, in addition to the reason that he wanted to eat fish, was also because the small puddle in the cave barely had enough water for him to drink, and I am afraid that he would have to go to the river every day to drink water in the future.

Qiao Hua shuttled through the jungle at the foot of the mountain, and his eyes became a little more open. He moved his body without hurrying or slowing down while observing his surroundings.

What made him feel good was that there were many butterflies flying in the grass, which was very similar to the scene six or seven thousand years later.

Didn't see any large carnivores, not even a hint of smell. Qiao Hua easily arrived at the river's edge. It prostrates itself in the grass, using the concealment of the grass to observe the situation outside.

The green scales on the back form a natural camouflage outfit that can almost fool the eyes of many animals. The herbivores who were drinking from the river not far away seemed to be completely oblivious to the situation here, and were still going about their own business.

There are still many squirrel animals picking wild fruits to eat in the trees, looking lazy, and these little things obviously don't care about the potential dangers on the 6 ground.

Qiao Hua had no intention of feeding on the large herbivores that drank water, one of the reasons being that the smell of blood was likely to attract other carnivores, and that it would lead to a big battle over food.

In addition, there are other carnivores in this place, what if a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind and eats themselves as prey?

Of course, the main reason why Qiao Hua didn't dare to act rashly was that he felt that he couldn't beat those huge herbivores.

Looking at their bodies, thick legs and hideous expressions, and looking down at their physiques that were waiting to be further opened a few times, Qiao Hua was afraid that if he rushed up, he would be trampled to death by these frightened big guys a few times.

Nima: This is the legendary dwarf tyrannosaurus who dared to break ground on the Tyrannosaurus rex? It's too weak, right?

Just when Qiao Hua was hiding there and complaining to himself, the corner of his eyes suddenly saw that not far from those animals that were eating grass and drinking water, several sharp and vicious eyes shot out from inside.

There is a case!

Qiao Hua was glad that he didn't have the brains to run out just now, judging from the current situation, there should be some medium-sized carnivorous animals lurking in the grass. These guys may not have much of an advantage individually, but they come in groups, so they have to be guarded against.

When Qiao Hua was watching the "Animal World", he saw many wolves exterminating the lion and tiger. The characteristic of these small carnivores is that they are accustomed to playing in groups, and there is no lower limit to gank. As it stands, these huge herbivores may be out of luck.

Blades of grass move slightly.

After a toothed pig drank the water, as soon as he raised his head, he inadvertently saw the small eyes of those yin owls lying in ambush in the grass, and suddenly shouted "whoosh", and quickly began to run to the other side.

When the other pigs on the riverbank heard the alarm, they all tensed their nerves and ran in one direction. The whole bank of the river suddenly exploded, and the hoofed animals ran like thousands of horses, so frightened that the squirrels in the trees began to jump up and down.

The predators hiding in the grass know that their whereabouts have been exposed, so they start a frenzied hunting operation!

They act like wolves, and they run very fast. Qiao Hua saw that there were about six or seven of them in the entire hunting group, with brown hair and animal hooves, looking fierce and strong, and their agility was not bad at all.

Qiao Hua remembered that these hunters were supposed to be Eocene mesoclawed beasts - a kind of ungulate that was sturdy, and looked like a wolf, but in fact it could not be beaten with eight poles.

Looking at the thick fur of those clawed beasts, as well as the long mouths with canine teeth, Qiao Hua had almost predicted the scene he was about to see.

"Uhhh

Although the toothed pig looks very bulky, it is very quick to escape. Dozens of toothless pigs had already run a distance of one or two hundred meters in an instant, and those middle-clawed beasts obviously refused to give up the current feast, and chased after them.

Toothed pigs are not slow, and in general, medium-clawed beasts may not be their opponents. I don't know if it was illness or something else, but soon two or three Archaeopteryx were left behind.

"Boom!"

One of the last archaeopteryx suddenly fell to the ground, and the strong inertia even caused it to roll on the ground for three or four meters before finally stopping.

The group of clawed beasts quickly surrounded this guy who was three or four hundred pounds. These predators are clearly experienced in hunting and have a clear division of cooperation. The group in the back bit the body of the archaeopteryx, while the first few took advantage of the pain and distraction of the other party to bite directly towards the neck of the toothed pig!

One hit and you're on the move!

Although the medium-clawed beast is relatively small, the bite force of its teeth is very unusual. Under their combined efforts, the throat of the huge toothless pig was bitten through by the long canine teeth, and blood suddenly gushed out!

"Whew-"

The Toothless Pig's body writhed, but it was completely unable to shake the predators to the ground. It only took a minute for the toothless pig to breathe completely, curled up and didn't move.

Qiao Hua had seen the local dogs in his hometown chasing the old hens in the yard before, and this was the first time he had seen carnivorous animals hunting in groups. He had to admit that this scene was so fucking shocking!

Qiao Hua couldn't help but think of the book "Wolf Totem" he had read, and seeing such a predatory scene today is simply a reproduction of the scene inside.

The brains of these beasts are far beyond human imagination.

The clawed beasts were still hanging on to the fallen toothless pigs, and it took three or four minutes before they relented.

Two vultures circled in the sky, obviously attracted by the strong smell of blood, coveting the large piece of fresh meat at the moment. But when they saw a group of medium-clawed beasts roaring towards the sky next to them, they didn't dare to swoop down rashly, and after a few minutes, they had to choose to give up and fly away with huge wings.

And the clawed beasts began a crazy feast!

The blood-soaked carnivores would not have known that a young dinosaur was jumping out of the thick grass and turning in the other direction where they had set up an ambush.

"I'm still smart, master."

Qiao Hua had no interest in the killing feast of these hunters, nor did he bother to catch a Toothless Pig to taste - in fact, it had not been able to catch up with the Toothless Pig so far, and even if it did, it was not sure who would be killed by whom.

The purpose of his coming out today was to find fish to eat, but he didn't want to be eaten by something else before he ate the fish. The group of toothed pigs just now cleared the mines, and now they don't have to worry about any risks by the river.
