Chapter 027: Dire Frog
The black-hoofed boar was just an ordinary beast, and the energy it provided was limited, far from satisfying Lin Chao's appetite.
When the rainstorm subsided, he hunted two fierce beasts of thousands of catties nearby, and roasted them on the fire and feasted on them.
"Lord Lin, when the rainy season comes, there will be terrible water beasts coming out of the river and attacking animals and humans on land. We have to get back to the tribe before the rainy season. ”
The rainy season is a feast for the overlord-level water beasts living in the great river, but it is an inevitable disaster for them primitives.
When the rainy season comes, a large number of strange water beasts will gush out of the river, frantically attacking the fierce beasts, dinosaurs and humans on land, devouring everything they see.
Last year, several powerful primitive tribes in the primeval forest were attacked by crazy water beasts, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
"Are water beasts really that scary?"
Feeling the fear in Bai Wei's heart, Lin Chao was also a little curious about what the water beast in her mouth was.
Recalling the scene when the water beast attacked the tribe a few years ago, Bai Wei trembled, and her eyes revealed infinite fear. "There are many kinds of water beasts, and the number is terrifying. These water beasts are not able to leave the river and can only come out of the river during the rainy season to forage for food. ”
After listening to Bai Wei's detailed explanation, Lin Chao understood that the water beast in the primitive population should refer to the fierce beast living in that big river. But these beasts are very different from the fierce beasts on land, with different forms, and they are extremely ferocious and murderous.
For humans living in primeval forests, this river is synonymous with terror, and even in the dry season, they will not rush to approach the terrifying river where water beasts live.
But if Bai Wei wants to return to the tribe as soon as possible, she must find a way to cross the river, otherwise it will be too late.
"The sick children of the tribe are still waiting for me to bring the herbs back, and I am afraid that there will be no time to take a long detour to avoid the big river. I know that there is a place in the upper part of the river where the water level is very shallow, and I may be able to cross it before the rainy season comes. ”
Bai Wei knew that the water beasts in the river were very active at this time, and it was very dangerous to cross the river now, but she had to find a way to rush back to the tribe as soon as possible.
Half a day later, Lin Chao took Bai Wei and Xiao Mi all the way up the raging river to a shoal.
Not far away, bursts of thunderous beast roars came from the middle of the turbulent river, Lin Chao's eyes changed suddenly, and he could feel that there were many overlord-level terrifying water beasts under the river.
"This is shallow water, and there aren't many water beasts, so if you move quickly, you should be able to cross it safely. ”
Most of the powerful water beasts are in the deep water area, as long as they don't alarm those overlord-level water beasts, there should be no danger.
It's just that the water level in this shallow area is not deep, but the current is very fast, and if you are not careful, you will be swept away by the current. If it is washed in the middle of the river, the place where the overlord-level water beast is entrenched, I am afraid that it will become the food of the water beast.
There is a large patch of reeds near the shallows of the great river, which are very tough. Lin Chao asked Bai Wei to pick a bunch of reeds and weave a strong reed straw rope to tie it to himself, so as not to be washed away by the turbulent water.
There was a distance of about 50 meters from their side to the other side of the river, and Bai Wei stepped into the cold water with her snow-white little feet, and followed Lin Chao to cross the river cautiously.
This is the narrowest estuary of the river, usually only about 40 meters wide, and the water depth is less than 2 meters. Due to a torrential rainstorm that had just fallen, the water level at the deepest point reached more than 2 meters.
At the beginning, it was quite easy to cross the river, but when she reached a third of the way, Bai Wei clearly felt that the water was turbulent, and she was almost washed away several times when she walked unsteadily.
If it is on the shore, the distance of 50 meters can be reached in less than 1 second at Lin Chao's speed. But in the turbulent river, you have to walk for a long time, and you have to guard against the water beasts in the river.
"Be careful, there are water beasts!"
Suddenly, Bai Wei let out an exclamation.
Lin Chao saw that in the river not far from them, a huge black shadow was rushing towards this side.
Boom!
A huge splash exploded on the surface of the river, and I saw this black shadow pop out of the water like a spring and pounce on the girl from the primitive tribe.
I'll go, what is this thing?
After seeing the thing that jumped out of the river, Lin Chao only felt that his scalp was numb, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
It was a monster with the head of a piranha, but with strong hind limbs similar to that of a frog, and sharp claws. Its body is covered in a layer of black fish scales, its feet are webbed, its forelimbs are small but sharp, its claws are sharp, and its white dead fish eyes glow with an eerie glow.
In terms of appearance, this monster is similar to the fishman that Lin Chao had seen in the game before, but it is very different when you look closely.
No matter what it is, it doesn't look like a harmless plant-eating water beast.
"This is the dinosaur, a very ferocious predatory water beast. ”
Bai Wei felt in her heart, the dinosaur frog is a very common predatory water beast in the big river, although it looks like a fish, it is not a fish, but an amphibian. This water beast can only live in water when it is young, and it looks like an ordinary tropical piranha. When they reach adulthood, they will develop frog-like limbs and can climb onto land to hunt for food, but they generally live in rivers and cannot leave the water.
The size of the adult dinosaur frog is quite large, the largest can grow to more than three meters, and the weight reaches hundreds of catties, of which the huge head accounts for a large part of the proportion. Their mouths are covered with piranha teeth that can easily tear their prey to pieces.
The dreaded frog that attacked them was slightly smaller, and its defeated dead fish had a ferocious look in its eyes, and it opened its mouth to the maximum, revealing two rows of sharp teeth like steel thorns, and bit down on the human girl in front of her.
Although the bite force of the dinosaur frog is not as strong as that of the overlord in the river, the prehistoric giant crocodile. But the strength is also quite terrifying, and it can easily bite the hard bones of beasts.
At the moment when the dinosaur pounced on Bai Wei, Lin Chao's tail flicked suddenly, like a whip on the huge head of the dinosaur.
I only heard a loud "boom", and the incomparable force exploded on the head of the dinosaur, directly pumping the monster out and falling into the turbulent river.
Meow~
Xiao Mi's fleshy little paws grabbed Lin Chao's neck, and the whole meow hung on his body like a pendant, meowing excitedly, as if he was very interested in the dinosaur frog.
However, Lin Chao didn't dare to let Xiao Mi go to the river to catch the dinosaur frog to eat, not to mention whether this thing could be eaten or not, if Xiao Mi accidentally fell into the river, he was afraid that it would become an appetizing snack for these dinosaur frogs.
Quack!
At this time, there was a dense sound of frogs in the river that made people's scalps tingle. I saw that in the river not far away, a large group of dinosaur frogs made a low croaking sound and swam at a very fast speed.
"Let's go, these dinosaurs usually hunt their prey in groups. ”
Lin Chao: "......"
Why didn't you say it earlier?
