Chapter 234: A Meal from the Sky
Compared to the seemingly calm but actually undercurrent of the planet Gliese, the life of a life on Earth twenty light-years away is much simpler. Unintelligent beings are constantly attacking each other for territory, food, and mates, and love and hate are unabashedly displayed on the surface, interpreting the meaning of the word "nature" in the simplest and crudest way.
At this time, an ancient giant pig was looking up at the increasingly dense smoke and dust drifting into the sky in the distance, and was surprised.
Since the drastic changes in the global environment, today is a rare sunny day, and various plants are taking advantage of this opportunity to flourish. And for the omnivorous ancient giant pig, there is no better weather than to go out and forage.
However, just a few seconds ago, when the ancient giant pig had eaten a large clump of wild grasses with fat leaves and rich in plant protein, and was about to go to the river to drink a few sips of water to digest the food, he suddenly felt some kind of chaotic tremor under his feet.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”
At first, the tremors didn't get enough attention - as one of the largest animals on earth, no creature could pose a threat to its life unless it was too old to hold on.
But as the vibration grew, the original indifference was replaced by curiosity. The ancient giant pig raised his head in some surprise, and saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance.
"Bang bang!"
With the shaking of the earth, several small figures emerged from the edge of the long grass.
Running rhino.
This creature that lived in the same era as the giant rhino, although it has the same word in its name, is very different in size, roughly the same size as the star dog.
At first, the ancient giant pig only looked at the past as a bystander, and its huge body and heavy limbs made it have no chance to catch up with this extremely fast animal, so it could only watch from a distance.
But some things are just so dramatic. As the feeling of ground tremor intensifies. The ancient giant pig was surprised to find that the number of running rhinos in the line of sight was increasing.
Like a tidal wave, many running rhinos rushed towards the ancient giant pig, and all the long grass was trampled into green mud and small trees were bent over. There were also some runners who rushed in front of them because of their slower speed, and were trampled under the feet or directly knocked into the air by the same kind of people who rushed up from behind.
And. The ancient giant pig vaguely saw that on one side of the line, there seemed to be some kind of carnivore also lined up to join the running ranks. The whole scene was extremely chaotic, like a doomsday escape, and like a carnival.
The ancient giant pig was a little dazed.
If it was a creature the size of a medium-clawed beast, it would definitely not have any intention of making a fortune when it saw such a scene—the piece of delicious fat in front of him was enough to turn into a deadly weapon.
But the ancient giant pig does not have this kind of pressure. Violent floods can uproot trees, but they don't sweep down mountains. Compared to the running rhinos not far ahead, his size is like a high mountain.
As an omnivore, the ancient giant pig couldn't remember how long it had been since he had tasted meat. See this in front of you. There was a certain fanaticism in its eyes, which had seemed to be somewhat hollow, as if it had rekindled the old desire for meat.
It looked to the left and right, and on one side was the dense forest with dense foliage and entanglements, and on the other side was the rushing river, and only the flat land dozens of meters wide in front of it could be passed. It seems that today is really lucky, and the time and place are right to encounter such a day.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the entire running rhino herd had come to this narrow tube separated by trees and turbulence. The width of the entire team suddenly decreased, and the speed was reduced considerably. At the same time, it also caused a wider stampede.
"Squeak-"
The pace of the running rhinos began to look messy, mixed with all kinds of terrible cries in between. Both audibly and visually shocking, it was like hell descending.
One of the characteristics of social animals is that they have blind consistency, so even in the current situation of "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge", none of the running rhinos choose to change the direction of travel, and still run forward without their lives. Even turning a blind eye to the behemoth in front of him.
The ancient giant pig couldn't help but lean forward slightly, ready for the impending impact.
But it underestimated the observation power of the rhinos. Although these little things will be trampled to death by their companions due to chaos, they will never do anything stupid to bump into a predator, so they diverted to both sides more than ten meters away from the ancient giant pig, perfectly bypassing this roadblocker.
“……”
The ancient giant pig seemed to feel a little angry. Recklessly, he rushed forward for dozens of meters. The high-speed runners had nowhere to hide, and they were hit one after another, some were injured and disabled, and some were trampled into piles of meatloaf. And the ancient giant pig, as the perpetrator, simply sat on the ground and chewed as if no one was around.
The ancient giant pig, who enjoyed the delicious meat, did not know how this feast came about. If you could look down at the ground from God's point of view, it would see that the entire running rhino herd stretched for hundreds of meters. On one side of the line, hundreds of dogs and bears were in the shape of long snakes, firmly binding the running rhino group to this narrow area near the river.
However, if you look closely, you will find a strange phenomenon, these canine bears are all running forward in one position, and each canine bear has a fat squirrel on its head!
Behind the massive troop of running rhinos was a strange mix of tall dinosaurs, silver-glittering iron men, and several medium-sized creatures never seen anywhere else.
"According to the latest data, 5,014 running rhinos have died, 1,024 have lost their mobility, and more than 500 are expected to die, and the scheduled plan has been completed."
Iron Egg's report reached Qiao Hua and several Gliese creatures through the spiritual connection, and the life-urging ghosts who were frantically chasing after the rhino finally stopped.
Although the Gliese creatures have been strengthened, they have not been trained for physical breakthrough after all, so they still feel unbearable to suddenly face such an intense exercise. The iron egg, which was already accustomed to moving by teleportation, consumed too much energy, and its whole body was swirling with white mist. It seems that the heat dissipation device of the planet Gliese is nothing more than that.
Qiao Hua suddenly remembered that there was another guy who was carrying out "force deterrence" on the periphery, so he hurriedly said to his robot assistant: "Iron Egg, teleport the bean paste back." ”
"Orders received, executed immediately."
The teleported bean paste didn't seem to be aware of this spatial shift at first, and rushed forward for a long time before stopping, then ignoring the other creatures and lying on the ground to nibble on blades of grass.
The kernel squinted his eyes and combed the hair on his body with his paws. Because of the wind blowing on the bean paste for a long time, the hair on the little squirrel's whole body was blown away by the wind, and at first glance it looked like it was carrying an explosive head.
The strangely shaped dogs, bears, and squirrels on the periphery just now are actually only one entity, and the rest are composed of realistic holograms of fruit pits and bean paste. Relying on these shadows without any entity, Qiao Hua and the others successfully maintained a fixed form of the entire running rhino group, and then eliminated some of them in this evil way, so that the number of running rhinos in the fifth area returned to a normal state.
