Chapter 282: Newborn Nest Dragon, Stegosaurus
Elven Kingdom, South.
In the middle of a barren swamp.
A team of sentinel rangers, guarded by giant trees, ended the day's patrol.
The annual war against the undead in the cold of winter has ended, and this barren swamp has also been swept away.
The wide swamp, and the worms that gnaw at the bones in the swamp, can wipe out many of the weakest undead.
No more undead remained.
But......
They didn't notice that deep underground, a series of rock-gray figures, at this time, slowly unfolded their curled up bodies.
A blood-red, jewel-like oval thing that emitted a faint glow.
The Abyss Dragons turned their gaze to the blood-colored gem, as if listening to something.
Soon, several Abyss-Rip Dragons buried the blood-colored gem into the ground.
Just like the location of the gem that had been excavated a few days earlier, except that it had been sent out of this spiraling pit in the ground at night, and in the darkness of the night, it had been handed over to the Feather Wyvern.
They understand why His Majesty has kept them here.
Among their hearing, which is keenly perceptual to vibrations, and the peculiar senses that are keenly perceptual to the earth element.
In this deep underground pit, there are corpses buried.
Ancient remains with their plausible shapes.
Why did they die here? Why is it piled up in the ground here?
But whether they think of the reason or not, they need to follow the orders of the crown and guard this place.
As the Abyss Cracking Dragons retracted their gaze, their vitality converged along with the earth element, and the underground pit once again fell into silence.
.......
Meanwhile.
The Dragon's Lair in the Sea of Trees.
Beside the draconians, a small scale-winged dragon with only blood-colored scales flapped its wings and flew in front of the nest.
Wake up day?
No, the Awakening Day is over.
All of the nest dragons favored by the crown have been blessed by the crown and have fallen into a deep sleep, and the next time they wake up, they will become even more powerful.
They were greeted by another new group of nest dragons.
And the dragon people also seemed to be ready to welcome the newborn nest dragon, staring at the huge nest dragon eggs.
As the huge dragon eggs shattered, dinosaurs with strange shapes emerged from the nesting dragon eggs.
Dragons and Lepidopters watched them, observing these newborn nest dragons that had never been seen before.
The most conspicuous is undoubtedly the strange nest dragon that falls on all four legs.
The front end of the head, which is slightly smaller in proportion to the body, is less striking, low, elongated, and wedge-shaped.
But their whole body is like an arched hill, from the front neck to the tail, along the dorsal crest, there are two rows of bizarre bone plates erected upright, symmetrically or staggered, like a sharp knife inserted, and at the end of the long tail, there are several protruding bone spurs.
To be honest, when the Lepidpends and Dragons saw these nesting dragons, they thought of the "Bladed Dragons" to some extent.
However, on their bodies, they do not have the dense armor and sharp blades that spread all over their backs, only along the dorsal crest.
However, it does have a bit of a relationship, because His Majesty has already left them a revelation, these nest dragons are also members of the mechanical dragon, but they must be separated from the armored dragon and the blade dragon, and they are the third branch of the mechanical dragon.
While a group of dragons and small lepidopters approached, another group of dragons and small lepidopters looked to the other side, another nest dragon that emerged from the dragon egg.
Compared to the previous group of newborn nest dragons who had some things in common with the mechanical dragons, this group of newborn nest dragons confused a group of dragons and small lepidopterans.
Because......
Four-legged landing, however, has a rather large body.
But their most striking features are their long, upwardly raised necks and equally long tails.
When the dragons and the small lepidopters came up to take these newborn nest dragons away, the giant egg in the center of the nest platform, and the earth were also watching this scene.
Stegosaurus, like Ankylosaurus, belongs to the same group of dinosaurs under the order Armored Suborder.
If you want to talk about the star group of herbivorous dinosaurs, Stegosaurus is not much worse than Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, and even wins.
In the Stegosaurus family, the most well-known are the armored stegosaurus, the narrow-faced stegosaurus, and the long-spinned stegosaurus.
Of course, if you go up, the nail dragon, which is relatively close to the long spiny stegosaurus, is also a member of the stegosauridae, as well as the spiny Tuojiang dragon and so on.
The Bashan dragon closest to the base has not been excavated, and the original fossil body excavated by the earth is -
【Armored Stegosaurus】
In the early days, the bony plates on the dorsal crest of the stegosaurus were thought to be laid flat on the back, like armor.
Even in the period when it was close to the time of the earth travel, in the eyes of many people who knew nothing, these bone plates had some defensive effect.
In fact, if it were the spiky bone plates of the nail dragon, perhaps the defense might be relatively large.
However, other stegosaurus dragons with large bone plates were relatively fragile in front of enemies of the same size.
It may be possible to use the antlers of some deer as a contrast, but it cannot be said that there is no one at all, but the effect is not very good.
At the very least, the bone plates of the Stegosaurus were closer to the effects of the back sail before the earth travel, which regulated body temperature and display.
The most effective weapon of the stegosaurus is actually their spiky tail.
Generally speaking, the higher the degree of calcification and armor of the tail, the less likely it is that the tail will be used for active attack.
After all, there is no magical power such as life force and runic life force on the earth, which can make the armor that hardens and decreases its flexibility still maintain efficient power transfer.
However, the tail of Stegosaurus with a smaller armor cover rate was stronger than that of Ankylosaurus and Nodular Dragon.
[Bone plate specialization], [Tail spine specialization]
The gaze of the earth line swept over the labels of these stegosaurus who had not yet made many specializations in this world.
Speaking of which, though......
The ground line turned his gaze to the other side again.
[Immature], [Growth Period], [Mega], [Air Cavity Specialization], [Long Neck Specialization], [Long Tail Specialization]
If it weren't for the labels of [Immature] and [Growth Period], Dixing would even think that what he dug out was a wooden dragon.
As we all know, sauropods, the giants of this group of dinosaurs that are often twenty or thirty meters in size, although not all, generally have long necks and extremely heavy weights.
However, land creatures are actually lighter than sea creatures in terms of size and weight compared to those found in the ocean.
Comparing those who can fly and those who run on the ground, there is also a significant difference in weight between those that run on the ground and those who swim in the water.
Without the buoyancy of the water and without the pressure of deep diving, the one-sided downward gravity often makes oversized creatures often have various means to reduce their size.
