Kapitel 273: Chapter 272
The soft footsteps in the forest were transmitted to Humerus' auditory organs.
Dinosaurs' auditory organs were similar to those of reptiles. They had a small hole in the back of their heads, which was completely different from arthropods that preferred to hear with their tentacles.
This structure helped them to hear some distant sounds... The sound was getting louder and closer. It was coming from the forest in front of them!
Suddenly, a dinosaur dashed out from the bushes in front of them and charged towards Skeleton Dragon! Humerus immediately leaned back, grabbed a branch with both hands, and stabbed forward. This action could pierce through the abdomen of the predator that was pouncing on it!
However, the dinosaur did not pounce on it. Instead, it stopped halfway and stood in place, staring at Humerus.
This type of dinosaur was about the same size as Humerus, about two meters long. Lin called it a "velociraptor." Lin had noticed this type of creature before. They were also smart and good at teamwork. However, unlike Humerus, they did not hunt with branches. They relied entirely on their sharp teeth and claws.
Of course, Humerus knew that these creatures hunted in groups.
Slap! A noise came from the forest to Humerus' left. Another velociraptor walked out. At the same time, another one appeared from the forest to Humerus' right.
Three? No, according to Lin's Flyer, there were more than ten of them in the surrounding forest. They moved slowly in the forest, surrounding Humerus.
The other three were bluffing and shouting, trying to drive Humerus to a more suitable place for them to surround it.
Although these creatures did not specialize in division of labor, their teamwork was quite good.
Humerus seemed to have realized the velociraptor's scheme. It suddenly threw down the branch and turned to flee. It rushed out of the velociraptor's encirclement in an instant. It ran into the depths of the forest.
The three velociraptors immediately chased after Humerus. Lin's Flyer followed. After chasing for dozens of meters, the velociraptor gave up and returned.
Compared to catching a velociraptor that weighed dozens of kilograms, it was better to eat a protophorned. Although the protophorned was small, it was still more than 100 kilograms. It was much heavier than Humerus.
Humerus ran wildly in the forest. They usually moved on their feet. However, it would use its forelimbs to escape, which made it faster than the Velociraptor. Although the Velociraptor had stopped chasing it, it still ran a long distance before stopping.
Tired from running, the Humerus Dragon leaned against a tree and panted. Panting was a phenomenon unique to reptiles and other creatures. When they were active, their lungs would work violently, and they would inhale a lot of air. However, it seemed that doing so over a long period of time would cause damage.
The Skeleton Dragon was quite tired. The Protophorned Dragon that it had caught with great difficulty was snatched away before it could take a few bites. Now it had to use sharp stones to dig holes in the bark. Its fate seemed to be good. He dug out a fat and white larva.
This kind of beetle larva had six times more nutrients than Protophorned Dragon meat of the same size. Although it was very small, it could effectively alleviate hunger temporarily.
If it was the age of large arthropods, the Skeleton Dragons would have been eaten by the larvae.
After eating the larvae, the Skeleton Dragon continued on its journey. Lin ordered the Flyer to follow it. Lin mainly wanted to see if it had a clan or something. Perhaps it had a structure called a 'tribe'.
The Skeleton Dragon was now heading south. It had already bypassed the volcano. Lin guessed that it should be looking for its clan. If it found its clan, Lin would be able to better observe this creature that liked to use things.
The Skeleton Dragon picked up a thick branch and cut it. It also plucked leaves from a nearby tree called the Exterminator and rubbed them on the tip.
The Exterminator's poison took effect quickly. It was very suitable for the Skeleton Dragon to hunt.
"Caw …"
After the Skeleton Dragon finished making the wooden spike, a series of sounds came from the forest behind it.
Lin began to wonder if the Skeleton Dragon could find its clan alive.
The Skeleton Dragon immediately reacted within half a second. It turned around and quickly ran into the forest. In the next moment, a giant creature rushed out of the forest.
Lin called it the Dune Lizard. It was a lizard close to the Tyrant Lizard. It was about five meters long and had a slender body covered in sand-like scales. It moved on all fours and was extremely fast. Even in the complicated forest, it was not much slower than the Skeleton Dragon.
The Skeleton Dragon ran wildly in the forest, turning its head to look behind it from time to time. However, every time it turned, the Dune Lizard was closer to it. It was almost impossible for it to shake off this creature.
The Dune Lizard's lung structure was more advanced. It used a special 'dual breathing' system that allowed it to exchange oxygen twice in its body. It could provide itself with more oxygen than ordinary creatures. Its speed and endurance were also more powerful.
In desperation, the Skeleton Dragon threw the branch in its hand at the Dune Lizard. The branch pierced the scales of the Dune Lizard and created some sparks. It was completely ineffective …
However, the Skeleton Dragon saw hope ahead.
The entire forest was almost in a gloomy environment. Not far away, brilliant sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees.
That was …
The Skeleton Dragon sped up and rushed forward. When it rushed out of the trees, a vast land appeared in front of it!
It was a spacious wasteland mainly composed of rocks and sand. There were scattered small plants everywhere on the plain. In addition to these, there were also huge pillar-shaped rock mountains that were dozens of meters high. Various dinosaurs were moving around in groups. Due to the open terrain, there were many large dinosaurs. It was a spectacular sight.
In front of the Skeleton Dragon, there was a large group of Dune Dragons chewing on the low plants on the ground. This was a dinosaur that looked very similar to the Velociraptor but ate plants. In the next moment, the Dune Lizard rushed out of the forest behind the Skeleton Dragon. All the Dune Dragons jumped up in fright and immediately fled in all directions.
The Skeleton Dragon rushed into the group of Dune Dragons and tried to use them to distract the Dune Lizard. However, the Dune Lizard only had one target in mind and completely ignored the other Dune Dragons.
These Dune Lizards tended to get angrier when they could not catch a target. The Skeleton Dragon could only keep running. However, it was now getting closer and closer to the Dune Lizard. Only about ten meters … seven meters … five meters …
The Flyer's vision was suddenly blocked by darkness. It felt like something was clamping it.
What was this? Lin immediately had the Flyer secrete a strong acid and spray it forward. The thing that was clamping the Flyer immediately loosened. After the light around the Flyer recovered, the Flyer saw a small Pterosaur shaking its head and flying into the distance.
