Chapter 9: The Jawed Dragon
The egg stealing dragon picked up on the side of the road directly brought Lin Ye a gain of 20 growth points, so that Lin Ye's growth value was directly increased to 59 points, and it was still 41 growth points needed to advance to the middle level of the young year.
The increase in growth value made Lin Ye satisfied. After eating this dinosaur egg, a wave of drowsiness hit him, and Lin Ye yawned. When a young bird is born, it basically sleeps twenty-four hours a day, eats and sleeps, and eats when it sleeps. And Lin Ye, who was born as a bird, was also so tired that his limbs were weak after he worked hard to grab and eat all the dinosaur eggs, and it seemed that he would fall asleep as long as he lowered his head.
He poked his head out to see if there was any danger outside, and when he was sure it was safe, he immediately retracted.
The entrance of the hollow log was hung with a heavy wooden plank with a straw rope, and Lin Ye bit the other end of the straw rope with his mouth, and with his legs straining, the heavy wooden plank closed the entrance of the hollow log to form a closed room.
Although young and weak, Lin Ye has a bright mind. He used the physics knowledge he learned as a student to make a simple sliding rope. Peck out a small hole in the top of the log through a straw rope that connects to a hole in the thick plank and passes through a hollow log overhead.
As soon as Lin Ye pulled the straw rope, the thick planks attached to it would be hung up and the entrance closed. Unless Lin Ye took the initiative to open it from the inside, those hunters were helpless. Even if the giant centipede that Lin Ye met before came over, a hundred feet on it would not be able to open this plank.
Smash it, smash it, smash it, lie in the woven warm grass nest, and Lin Ye fell asleep contentedly. No one could have imagined that a young phoenix would make its home in a hollow log.
The sleepy-eyed Lin Ye soon fell asleep. At the same time, the silent night soon came.
The blood moon rose, and outside the hollow log where Lin Ye slept, less than three hundred meters away, a slender tail swept across the ground. A centipede hastily crawled along the pile of gray leaves, its hundred legs crawling continuously, but it was always followed by a black shadow that could not be shaken off.
A skinny, lean dinosaur weaves through the cracks of the damp trees, its gaze firmly fixed on the centipede beneath its feet. Although the speed of the ancient centipede was fast, the dinosaur behind it still kept up with its speed unhurriedly. In the dark, damp wide fern bushes, its tail is like a balance beam to maintain the center of gravity of its body, and it follows the centipede leisurely, as if playing with the prey under its feet.
What was once a predator is now the prey in turn. In order to escape for its life, the centipede fled towards the terrain it was familiar with, and it was crawling quickly towards Lin Ye's home.
Less than ten meters away from the hollow log, the skinny dinosaur seemed to finally lose its playfulness and stomped on the centipede's back.
In the quiet dense forest, the sound provoked by this foot was like a needle falling on the silent ground, and it immediately reached the ears of Lin Ye who was sleeping.
The dinosaur bit the centipede, which had been trampled to death, and the small but pointed clawed forelimbs grabbed the centipede until the centipede was completely dead and moved, and finally swallowed it in one gulp. The dinosaur raised its head after eating, and the first thing it saw was the hollow log arranged by Lin Ye, it walked around the hollow log with some curiosity, and then scratched the thick wooden plank that Lin Ye had closed before with its front paws. It has a keen sense of smell and smells a delicious prey hiding in it.
The jaw-dwelling dragon was a small, bipedal animal with long hind limbs and a tail that balanced its body when moving. The forelimbs are smaller than the hind limbs, and the palms have three fingers and sharp claws, which are used to catch prey. The mandibs hunted small vertebrates. The average size of the Aurosaurus is estimated to weigh about 3 kilograms, making it one of the smallest dinosaurs. Although it may be about the same weight as an old hen in reality, there is no problem at all in dealing with a little chick like Lin Ye.
After several attempts, it never opened the entrance to the hollow log, and finally had to give up. As the footsteps moved, the accumulated fallen leaves rustled out, and the vibrations on the ground became farther and farther away. It seems that the jaw-dwelling dragon has left.
Lin Ye, who was sleeping, opened his eyes. By the time the ancient centipede was caught, he had already woken up. Although it was in the dark night, Lin Ye's strength was still keen, he opened a gap in the plank slightly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the beautiful jaw dragon hiding behind a tree five steps away, as if he was patiently waiting for Lin Ye to lose his vigilance!
It didn't leave, but waited for Lin Ye to deliver it to the door by himself!
This scene was naturally seen by Lin Ye. But even if he didn't see it, the cautious Lin Ye would not swagger out. Gently closing the plank, Lin Ye returned to the warm bird's nest and continued to sleep.
Sure enough, after two or three hours, the jaw-dwelling dragon finally lost its patience. This time, it flicked its tail and no longer kept watch over the forest night, but went in search of prey that was easier to catch.
This seemingly petite but ferocious jawed dragon has been here more than once. It is a head larger than Lin Ye and feeds on insects and small animals. The system asked Lin Ye to explore the terrain within a radius of ten kilometers, but six kilometers of it were its territory, and after seeing this beautiful jawed dragon, Lin Ye could only turn back. That's why the quest required only 43% of the map development was required for a month.
And now the situation is even more serious than Lin Ye imagined. The jaw-dragon was constantly expanding its territory, and half a month ago, Lin Ye had seen it flash less than a kilometer away from him, an area that the jaw-dragon would never have set foot in a month ago.
And three days ago, this beautiful-jawed dragon ran directly to the vicinity of Lin Ye's hideout, and it almost saw the hollow log where Lin Ye was hiding. If Lin Ye hadn't attracted its attention with a pebble, maybe Lin Ye would have turned into a homeless stray bird again, and his new home that he had worked so hard to manage would have been destroyed.
Tonight, the jawed dragon has directly discovered Lin Ye's hideout. Although I don't know what the beautiful jaw dragon did nearby, judging from the dinosaur footprints around the hollow log, the beautiful jaw dragon obviously did not give up and wanted to eat Lin Ye hiding inside.
For the sake of the mission, and for his own safety, Lin Ye must kill the beautiful jaw dragon. Although he didn't expect the jaw dragon to come so quickly, Lin Ye had also been preparing for this for a long time.
After dawn, Lin Ye pushed away the heavy wooden plank blocking the entrance, and then took a deep breath, his eyes becoming solemn.
He took a very strong rope from the nest and tied it to his tail. It is a rope made of yellow grass leaves, more than a meter long. The yellow grass leaves he found by the lake, the leaves are slender and serrate, not only very tough and impossible to chew, but also very sharp. When Lin Ye pulled out the yellow grass leaves, he had been cut by it.
And in order to weave it into a sharp rope, Lin Ye spent a whole day, and now it was time to take it out and use it.
In terms of strength alone, Lin Ye can't even beat the ancient centipedes that the beautiful jaw dragon hunts, but he can use his brain!
To defend your territory, but also to complete the mission!
Lin Ye shouted to cheer himself up, then jumped out of the hollow log, and slowly approached the territory of the beautiful jaw dragon with the yellow grass rope.
