Chapter 41: Countdown
In the stone field, the footprints left by the rock turtle are still left and have not dissipated.
The egg stealing dragon was standing in the same place where the rock turtle had been ambushing, and it circled the pit with some confusion. In its memory, there should still be a tall rock here. It's not like it's a pit like it is now.
It shook its head, quickly giving up interest in the inexplicable pit. It turned its head back to the nest and lay down, raising its head slightly to look around warily.
At this time, Lin Ye had already come to the stone crevice, he probed into the stone crevice, and an upside-down green onion exposed the bird's buttocks, and after reaching the snake meat in his mouth, he directly lifted the roasted snake meat.
Looking at the lost snake meat, Lin Ye opened his mouth and was about to eat it, but after a sudden pause, he thought of an idea.
He remembered the eggstealing dragon. These oviraptors pass through dense forest areas every week, and it never hurts to mingle with them. And in order to ensure that the mission is completed, at least the relationship with this egg stealing dragon must be closer.
Just do it.
The oviraptorosaurus, crouching on the edge of the nest, suddenly heard the sound of something tugging in front of it, and craned its neck to see a black chick dragging half of the body of the true-footed snake towards it.
It immediately stood up, the feathers on its back stood up, its mouth opened slightly, and its eyes were fixed on Lin Ye, exuding strong hostility.
Lin Ye had already roasted the food again, and the smell of meat came out again, although it was not particularly strong, but it entered the nose of the egg stealing dragon, and immediately aroused the latter's appetite. It had never smelled this fragrance before, and looked at the snake meat carried by Lin Ye with a cautious and curious gaze.
Lin Ye threw the snake meat to the ground, then flapped his wings and stepped back ten meters away. Since it is a greeting gift, of course, you have to face to face and be familiar. Looking at this half of the snake meat, Lin Ye's eyes narrowed, and there was a pain in his heart, this is a very precious meat, I hope to get results.
The egg stealing dragon walked over vigilantly, he looked at Lin Ye, then lowered his head and sniffed the piece of warm snake meat, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
It didn't seem to like cooked food so much, but it still looked a little fascinated, its vertical feathers loosened, and its hostility towards Lin Ye seemed to subside.
Lin Ye tried to take a few steps forward.
Seeing Lin Ye trying to get close to the egg nest, the egg-stealing dragon that had eaten the meat immediately straddled his legs and stopped in front of Lin Ye, warning Lin Ye not to continue to approach, but he did not take the initiative to attack him. However, at this time, the egg stealing dragon had already rushed out and drove Lin Ye out of the stone field.
The effect of this piece of snake meat has exceeded Lin Ye's expectations!
Seeing that these omnivorous dinosaurs were not hopelessly stupid, Lin Ye was happy in his heart and screamed happily. Snake meat can be there again, but it is not so easy to cultivate the relationship with the oviraptorosaur. Of course, one of the benefits that can be seen at a glance is that Lin Ye doesn't have to worry about him being attacked by the egg stealing dragon when he is sleeping during the day!
At the same time, in order to prevent forest marching ants, so that if the egg nest is in danger, Lin Ye and the egg stealing dragon will become more familiar with each other, and the communication will become easier.
Marching ants in the forest generally do not come to the dry, hot, sparsely grassy stone field, which is why Lin Ye can find so many yellow-skinned grasshoppers in the stone field, they are all driven here by the marching ants.
Of course, there are exceptions, for example, the worker ant infected by Beauveria bassiana that Lin Ye met yesterday, and now its corpse is still there, the white fungus powder on the body surface has wrapped the body of the worker ant, and at the same time, the white columns growing on the body surface also emit fungal spores, flying away with the wind.
Lin Ye took off the yellow grass blades from his tail, he stretched the yellow grass leaves, chose a path from the forest to the west, if he wanted to go to the egg nest, and then pulled up a cordon to the stone field to the west.
If a marching ant approaches the center of the quarry, the Yellow Blade of Grass will stop it, and then the stones pressed on the blade of grass will also fall and make a sound to remind Lin Ye. If it's one or two, Lin Ye will deal with it alone, and if it's a small group, Lin Ye will go and lure the egg stealing dragon over and let it destroy these marching ants.
It turned out that Lin Ye's concerns were not superfluous. Over the next two days, three more marching ants appeared, all of them looking very weak and covered with a layer of white spots, a sign of Beauveria bassiana infection. Two of these marching ants were stopped by Lin Ye, and the other died halfway through. Although weak, their sharp jaws are not vegetarian, and even hard eggshells will shatter at the touch of a bite.
To deal with these weak worker ants, Lin Ye didn't need to call the egg stealing dragon, he solved them in three strokes and five divided by two, he flew up directly and kicked it, and the two worker ants fell to the ground one after another and stopped moving. You don't have to attract the Egg Stealing Dragon.
Due to the biggest threat to dinosaur eggs, the rock turtle has been eliminated, and the true-footed snake from the beach near the Blood Moon Lake has also appeared again, but this time it appeared in the middle of the night before it was found by Lin Ye before it was close to the center of the stone field, and then directly found it all the way with the awakened oviraptor dragon. The True Foot Snake was directly beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face, and fled back to the Blood Moon Lake area in embarrassment.
These few days have been very relaxing and comfortable.
Every night, the rising blood moon shines its moonlight on the dinosaur eggs, allowing them to absorb the growth value contained in the eggshell. Even the smallest of the dinosaur eggs, the size of Lin Ye, bathed in the moonlight, began to absorb and transform the yellow light on the eggshells.
Although there has been a saying that proper exposure to the sun makes the body healthy, but the moon is really unheard of.
Every time Lin Ye would come over curiously, after two days of observation, Lin Ye found that the yellow light on the dinosaur eggshell was probably the natural breath. He remembered the green natural stones he had seen, as well as stalactites that exuded a natural scent.
He now has 19 points of natural aura in the mall system, which can be directly exchanged for close to ten growth points.
Through the illumination of the moon, these natural breaths can bring a slight increase in the probability of mutation to the creatures that absorb them. And put it on Lin Ye's body, it is directly converted into the corresponding growth value by the system.
Ten dinosaur eggs were placed on top of each other, and as the three days passed quickly, the yellow light of the dinosaur eggs gradually disappeared. Lin Ye knew that the growth value contained in the dinosaur egg had been absorbed by the little life inside.
It's morning, and there's a chill on the ground, and the long-lost coolness has finally arrived. Lin Ye yawned, in order to protect the dinosaur eggs, he did not sleep all night. Lin Ye shook his tired body and stood on the branch of the dwarf tree, patiently waiting for the mission to end.
The grasshoppers in the vicinity had been eaten by Lin Ye, and the grass that was almost crippled under the gnawing of the grasshoppers grew lush again.
The oviraptor circled back and forth around the edge of the nest, and it seemed to sense something, walking briskly, occasionally touching the dinosaur eggs with its mouth, knowing that soon they would hatch.
As if in response to the eggstealr's expectation, the dinosaur egg trembled slightly, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
"Ding! Thirty minutes left until the mission is completed. The quest system reminded. A countdown appeared in Lin Ye's mind.
The tired Lin Ye was suddenly shaken, and his heart was filled with joy. Mission accomplished!
