Chapter 378: Heaven and Water
There are signs of loosening in their cultivation.
After another moment, both of them recovered to the foundation building realm, and could feel that they were still ascending, the speed was extremely slow, but it was better than a pool of stagnant water.
It's so cool!
The long-lost feeling of fullness on the upper body, although it is only a mediocre foundation building realm, after all, Ren Du's second pulse is unblocked, far from the level of the peak of martial artists in the secular world some time ago, and a single arrow step can go far.
The two cheered and raced forward.
It seems that it is right to go outward, the effect of the formation will change with the distance from the central area, and if you continue in this direction, you will be able to recover all your cultivation sooner or later.
Turning over a gentle slope, Hua Lanting and Yu Ding hurriedly stopped their cheerful steps.
Not far away, two plesiosaurs stood on the shore, grazing leisurely.
The two of them had just burst with confidence, and they felt as if they were capable of wrestling their wrists with the dinosaur, but as soon as they saw the huge body of the plesiosaur, their bodies stopped very honestly.
Yu Ding said: "Xiaohua, didn't you say that plesiosaurs don't eat meat, then we don't need to make trouble, let's go around." ”
Before Hua Lanting could answer, there was a sound over the lake in the distance, and then hundreds of black dots flashed out from behind the low white clouds.
With cultivation, his eyesight has also increased, and the two of them looked at each other, and Hua Lanting blurted out: "Wing Dragon!"
According to the notes of the Zhidao Palace, the earliest animal that could fly into the sky was not birds, and birds had not yet appeared at that time, but reptiles with the ability to fly - pterosaurs.
In those days, pterosaurs were the "masters" of the sky.
This group of pterosaurs was less than a foot long, with a large head, a pointed and long mouth, a skin pouch at the throat, perhaps to achieve balance, a large bone crown above the head that stretched out backwards, the bone crown was brightly colored, and the long beak was symmetrical, and with the meniscus not very wide but long wings, the appearance was very beautiful.
The pterosaurs were extremely fast, and some of them swooped down after they appeared, and then immediately flapped their wings and flew up, presumably catching the swimming fish in the water and swallowing them into the skin pouches under their mouths for storage.
Yu Ding knew that Hua Lanting knew a lot about these monsters, so he asked weakly: "These guys eat fish, will they eat people?" No matter how the plesiosaur is slow, if the pterosaur attacks us from the sky, it will be difficult to prevent it." ”
Hua Lanting is not sure.
Little is known about the ancient species dinosaurs as a whole, and the limited knowledge is inferred from the remains of the bones, such as pterosaurs, which have several classifications, and he is not sure whether these on the lake are aggressive to humans.
But one thing is certain, in the face of the dinosaurs on land, they can still fight, but they can still run, but the attack from the sky is indeed as Yu Ding said, it is difficult to prevent and escape.
Hua Lanting shook his head, for the sake of safety, he still can't take risks, the foundation building realm is just strong, and he has the basic ability to attack and defend with magic, if he wants to fight against a large number of pterodactyls, he is not sure of victory in his heart.
At this time, many pterosaurs were already flying towards this direction from the surface of the lake.
Hua Lanting observed, it was too late to run, he immediately made a decision, rushed down the hill with his short body and rushed down the hill, and said to Yu Ding: "Quick, go, let's hide under the plesiosaur." ”
Yu Ding sighed, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and when he saw Hua Lanting running away under the cover of thatch, he didn't dare to stay alone, so he mustered up the courage to follow.
I don't know if the pterosaur only eats fish and not people, or if it was blocked by the huge body of the plesiosaur, they were just moving on the surface of the lake and didn't notice Hua Lanting and them, and the plesiosaur who was concentrating on eating grass didn't notice that there were two people hiding under its belly, or it didn't care at all.
Yu Ding was very unsteady, like sitting on pins and needles, nervous and looking up and down, looking left and right, while Hua Lanting observed the pterosaur on the lake from between the two pillar-like hind legs of the plesiosaur.
After confirming that they didn't seem to be interested in things on the shore, Hua Lanting was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Yu Ding shout in surprise: "Pterodactyl! look, a large wave of pterodactyls!"
Hua Lanting sat on the ground: "I know, I know, don't scream, it's okay, they don't bite." ”
"No, it's not, look over there!" Yu Ding pointed to the other side with one hand.
Before Hua Lanting could react, he only heard a thunderbolt, which shook his ears and buzzed.
It wasn't a dry thunderbolt, it was a plesiosaur roar, and then I saw it slowly turn its huge body and walk towards the lake.
Holding the grass, this voice was no less than an earthquake, which frightened Hua Lanting and Yu Ding to hurriedly climb away.
Only then did Hua Lanting see a forest on the side, and there was a black press.
With enough eyesight, the pterodactyl this time looks different from the one on the lake.
It's smaller, but it looks more hideous.
The whole body is dark brown, the head is very similar to that of a typical dinosaur, like a miniature version of the head of Allosaurus, almost the same as the body, the eyes are fierce, the four claws are sharp and slightly curved, the middle is webbed, and the two wings are shaped like the scissor wings of swallows.
It has full limbs and wings, and also has a long, bony tail half the length of its body, with a diamond-shaped sheet at the end of the tail, which is supposed to act like a ship's rudder, helping it balance and change direction in the air.
Hua Lanting shuddered, because he saw the cold teeth from the open mouths of these pterosaurs, unlike those on the lake, the beaks of the long-billed pterosaurs on the lake were shaped like the ospreys of later generations, and they had no teeth.
The pterosaurs that came this time seemed to be meat eaters, and they weren't fish, otherwise, even the plesiosaurs beckoned their companions to retreat towards the lake, which shows that even they were scared.
What to do? Hide in the water with the plesiosaur?
Is it dangerous in the water, or is it safe on the shore?
Hua Lanting may not pay attention to it this time.
Although Yu Ding was afraid, he had been observing carefully, and then reminded Hua Lanting: "It's a bit far away, but I see that those pterodactyls seem to be attacking in turn, as if they are attacking someone?"
A word woke up Hua Lan Ting, could it be that there were monks who came with him who were taken as prey by the pterodactyl?
After quickly thinking about a few back and forth, Hua Lanting said to Yu Ding: "Brother, I want to go over and have a look, you are at your own convenience, and it is relatively safe to hide here." ”
Yu Ding is also a strong man in Xuanzhu, and now he has recovered a little bit of cultivation, he looked at the big lake, bent down, and picked up a thick and long withered tree trunk that can be seen everywhere from the ground: "Alas, the old man should go with you, it's better than being a water ghost." ”
People are instinctively afraid of water, and the cultivator's cultivation in the water is even more discounted, and it is more courageous to act together, if you can meet a few more people, maybe there will be a chance to escape, and there is a companion for death, it is too dangerous to be alone in this dinosaur-infested place.
Hua Lanting held the golden wire, swept it with the other hand, ingested a handful of pebbles on the ground, and the two of them rushed out.
The two of them got closer and closer, and the screams of the toothed pterosaur were more ugly than the crows, and they were really taking turns.
Finding a high grassy slope, the two leaned over to visit.
Yu Ding's judgment was right, the toothed pterosaur group was attacking two people, one of them was Tu Xiang, the eldest young man of the Tu family, and the other was an old woman who Hua Lanting didn't know.
The old woman has goosebumps, but she is a one-armed person, but she is much stronger than Tu Xiang, dancing with one hand and a beast bone from nowhere to drive away the pterodactyl, and the pterosaur that rushed into the collision was either crooked to the side by her or injured and couldn't land, Tu Xiang almost held on to the present intact under the protection of the old woman.
But the old woman was unable to support herself, and under the unremitting pursuit of the pterodactyl group, the old woman's one-arm wave slowed down, and she relied on Tu Xiang's support to avoid the sneak attack of several big pterosaurs.
Hua Lanting made a move.
Several egg-sized pebbles were sent out by him in a heavy hand, and the target was not the hard head of the pterosaur, but the diamond-shaped bone fragments of the wings or tail of the pterosaur, all of which lost the ability to fly and hovered and fell.
There are a lot of stones on the ground, and Hua Lanting is picking them up and beating them.
Tu Xiang found Hua Lanting, shouted happily, and ran towards the two with the old woman, the four of them converged, there was no time to talk, and they worked together to resist the siege of the pterodactyl.
The pterosaur is small, and the four people who have built the foundation and cultivated are not impossible to deal with, the problem is that there are too many of them, and there are no dead ends in the condescending pounce, which makes the four people exhausted.
Hualan Ting's golden wire has become an emergency artifact, and every time it is swung, there is one less part on the body of the pterodactyl that is hit.
The trouble is that the golden wire with true qi is a lot of consumption for Hua Lanting, and the same is true for the others, the defense circle of the four is getting smaller and smaller, and if it goes on like this, it will be consumed in place.
After rushing out several times and unable to get out, they had no choice but to retreat to the shore of the lake.
As the lake shore got closer and closer, the attack of the pterodactyl group slowed down, but instead of retreating, it slowly gathered, and there were pterosaurs hovering in the high, medium and low positions, like a large net approaching.
The four of them were all injured and exhausted, and the old woman said hoarsely, "Let's go to the lake." There are a lot of rolling logs here, and it is not difficult to maneuver, and you can go down the river or escape. ”
Yu Ding knows the old woman, this woman is the weakest of the three agents, Lu Feiyan of the Lu family, who is in a high position in the Lu family, and is a powerful Yaochi, in other words, he may not dare to directly contradict it in normal times, but at this time, he doesn't care about it:
"Sister Lu, you don't know, there are also large monsters in the lake, and there are also flying in the sky, Hua Xiaoyou calls them plesiosaurs and pterosaurs, which is inappropriate. ”
The old woman glared: "Yu Ding, are you questioning my words! These, well, called pterosaurs, give me the feeling that they are all close to the big lake, and we can get rid of their stalking when we enter the lake." The danger in the lake is in the lake. Early death and early transcendence, if you want to stay here, I won't stop you. ”
Yu Ding has no words, it's not safe left and right, it's a moment to drag it on.
Hua Lanting and Tu Xiang had no opinion, so the four of them accelerated to break through to the lake, and the toothed pterosaurs pressed forward step by step, but they really didn't dare to follow up to the shore.
Each of the four quickly selected a suitable tree trunk and put it into the water, and drove into the lake with true qi.
Some toothed pterosaurs flew to the lake to patrol, and some were unwilling to follow the shore of the lake, but none of them dared to enter the water.
Yu Ding said in confusion: "Cannibalism of the same kind? Do they have enmity with the pterosaurs on the lake?
Hua Lanting shook his head: "I can't figure it out, it's best not to come." Be careful, the long-billed pterosaur and plesiosaur may not attack us, but the plesiosaur is too big, and if it catches up with the main body or the wind and waves it sets off when it surfaces, it doesn't matter if you accidentally injure yourself and die. ”
The water of the lake was not slow, and everyone quickly drifted five or six miles away, and the toothed pterosaurs lost patience and retreated, and they did not encounter harassment from plesiosaurs and long-billed pterosaurs along the way.
The lake began to narrow and the current became more rapid.
Lu Feiyan's cultivation is higher than theirs, and at this time, he should have recovered to the realm of obtaining medicine, and his perception is sharper than theirs, so he waved his hand: "Stop, you guys be careful! There is something underwater." ”
Before the words fell, a black shadow jumped out from the bottom of the water, shook its head and tail, came sharply, and bit Tu Xiang.
It was a monster that was more than two feet long, much like a crocodile, with a long, flat and powerful tail and four short legs, a large mouth with teeth like steel nails, and pimples on its body, except that its neck was longer than that of a crocodile, and there were fins on all four legs and the back of its tail.
"Canglong, the overlord of the sea!" Hua Lanting cried out in a lost voice.
He originally thought that this was the fresh water of the river, and there would be no Canglong, but he did not expect that the Canglong would gradually grow larger with the increase of adaptability, and could live from rivers and lakes to high-salt seawater, which was a Canglong in the evolutionary period.
Lu Feiyan was already prepared, and with a wave of the beast bone in his hand, the dragon was shot down, struggled and swam to the other side.
At this time, dragons jumped out from all directions, and everyone was in a hurry.
The dragon is no bigger than the pterodactyl, the individual is larger, the leather armor is thick, no matter which part is hit, it is not three or five hits, and the body of the dragon is flexible enough under and above the water to twist to avoid heavy blows.
It turned out that the toothed pterosaur did not dare to fly into the lake area because of the existence of the dragon, which came out of the water at an average height, but could hide in the water and hold the pterosaur that pounced on the surface of the lake to prey.
Yu Ding secretly screamed bitterly, blaming this old pious woman Lu Feiyan, this time he really wants to be a water ghost.
