Who was the one who threw this splinter?
Even though its neck was pierced, Lin's pterosaur still turned its head and looked around as if nothing had happened. Generally, dinosaurs used their necks as trachea, but Lin was used to breathing through the stomata on the side of her body, similar to arthropods. There were contractile sacs under the stomata to achieve the effect of lungs, even in a hypoxic environment.
But strangely, Lin did not see the creature that threw the wooden spike. The skeleton dragons from before had long left, and there was not a single creature around...
Forget it. Let's save this skeleton dragon that Lin named 'Tucker' first. Otherwise, it would die.
The pterosaur pulled out the wooden spike from Tucker's chest with its mouth. Before a large amount of blood flowed out, it immediately spat out a large amount of viscous liquid. This liquid could stop the bleeding and help heal the wound.
At the same time, Lin also wanted to see if the internal organs were damaged, so some miniature soldiers mixed in the viscous liquid entered the wound to observe.
"Coo..." Tucker let out a low moan. Generally, when a creature's wound healed, its brain would receive a 'comfortable' feeling. And this time, it did not faint, so it was still looking at Lin's pterosaur in amazement.
Lin did not plan to pay attention to it before it recovered. Lin also wanted to pay attention to the small creature she caught earlier. Its body was only a little over a centimeter long, but it was covered in fur and a tail.
Lin's pterosaur had swallowed it into its stomach and was decomposing it... and this creature was really strange.
It did not look like a reptile. In fact, reptiles and dinosaurs did not have this kind of fur at all.
In addition, this creature had a structure in its body that maintained its body temperature. This dinosaur and some reptiles also had this structure, but Lin found that there was a special bulging structure under its abdomen. It seemed to be able to squeeze out the nutrients in its body into some kind of liquid. It was probably used to feed its young.
This seemed to be a structure called a 'mammary gland'. It felt pretty good.
Lin also found that their reproductive structure was not quite the same. This species did not seem to lay eggs, but let the reproductive cells directly start to slowly grow into young in a hollow space in the body. The one Lin decomposed had a half-formed young in its body.
This way, the mother could provide good protection for the young. They might be a new species. Dinosaurs were probably new too, but generally speaking, they were very similar to reptiles. But this creature was very different. It might have evolved from a creature like the Twisted Jungle's Spar Lizard.
The Spar Lizards let their eggs hatch inside their bodies, while these creatures let their young grow inside their bodies, with the mother providing them with nutrients. It was a very obvious evolution. Their hearts beat very fast. Lin estimated that these creatures needed to eat at a very high rate to survive. They probably fed on the roots of plants and some small arthropods.
But they were too small, why did they have to be so small? Was it because the surrounding dinosaurs were too big? So Lin should give this creature a name …
Let's call it 'Mao Yu'.
Was there any complicated meaning behind it? Probably represents a furry, small, interesting creature.
After dissecting the creature, Lin used the pterosaur's neck muscles to slowly squeeze out the wooden splinters from its neck. This wooden spike was very thin and did not cause much damage. However, the stinger did not expect that the pterosaur did not have a windpipe.
Now that Tucker was slowly recovering, the wooden spike did not seem to have hurt his internal organs. He got up from the ground and touched the wound on his chest. After confirming that there was no problem at all, he continued to look at Lin's pterosaur in amazement.
A pterosaur pulled out the wooden spike and saved him. This was unimaginable for Tucker, wasn't it? He and his species had probably never encountered such a thing. In fact, they had probably never seen a pterosaur with scales.
Tucker's brain received too much information at once, and his brain was a little overwhelmed. Lin speculated that the skeleton dragon's brain should be bigger than the ancient squid's. They had used items for a longer time than the ancient squid, and their brains had evolved more.
Lin also looked at him at the same time, but did not do anything.
After looking at each other for a while, Tucker suddenly bent down, grabbed a few stones from the ground, and put them in front of Lin's pterosaur. Then, he placed the stones in a triangular shape.
What was he doing?
Tucker raised his forelimbs and swung them. At the same time, he began to jump around on the ground with his legs.
He seemed to be doing something called dancing. Lin heard from the headworm that they could do something similar. The main thing was that when they were very happy, their bodies would start to sway.
Was he happy because he had recovered?
"Dancing, learning. It can be used for celebrations and barbecued meat." At this time, the headworm in front of Lin was also teaching the pterosaur how to sway its body.
Tucker stopped after jumping for a few seconds. He then found a flat stone on the ground and placed the flat stone in the triangular shape he had placed before. Then, he took out a sharp stone and carved a few marks on the flat stone.
It looked like a triangle, and then he drew something like an eyeball in the middle.
Lin had no idea what was the point of doing this. She should have set off quickly. Maybe this creature liked to do these strange things, and that's why its brain grew. Or maybe it started to do these strange things after its brain grew bigger?
Lin was now studying what caused their brain to develop faster than other creatures. Among the large number of species, only a few had this kind of brain evolution. However, they were usually the focus of all creatures, so it was easy to find them.
The strange thing was that arthropods usually only had high intelligence when it came to division of labor. Other creatures did not have this kind of division of labor. Their individual brain would slowly evolve.
After drawing the pattern, it seemed that Tucker was finally done. He picked up some useful stones on the ground and continued on his journey.
Now, the group of skeletal dragons seemed to have gone far away. Although Tucker took a lot of time to recover, it also took a lot of time to do those strange things. It might not be easy to catch up with them now.
Tucker was not nervous at all. He grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and sniffed it carefully. Then, he immediately knew the direction and walked south.
As he walked, he kept looking back to see if Lin's pterosaur was following him. It seemed that he was very concerned about Lin now.
This was obviously a matter of course. After all, Lin had resurrected him twice. Generally, creatures liked to form a symbiotic relationship with a species that was helpful to them. For creatures with higher intelligence, this relationship was formed very quickly.
"Woo …"
A cry came from the wasteland ahead. Tucker immediately hid behind a rock, while the pterosaur flew up into the sky. Tucker poked his head out slightly to take a look.
It was a creature called a 'tortoise'.
This creature looked fun. It seemed to be learning from arthropods by growing a carapace on the surface of its body. However, Lin could clearly see that they were evolved from some kind of reptile. Lin had seen similar species in the sea. These creatures ignored speed for the sake of defense, but Lin felt that even if they did not grow a carapace, no creature would hunt them.
This kind of tortoise should be called a giant tortoise. Each of them was about nine meters long and probably weighed more than ten tons. Their carapace looked very heavy. When they raised their long necks, they could reach up to four meters high. Every time they moved, the ground would tremble.
These large creatures were moving south. Tucker seemed very excited when he saw them. He immediately rushed out, hooked his claws on the side of the giant tortoise's carapace and climbed up. The giant tortoise ignored him and continued moving...
Perhaps it did not see him as a threat at all. After Tucker climbed up, he shouted at Lin who was in the sky. In that case, Lin also flew down and landed on the head of the giant tortoise that Tucker was riding.
These tortoises were like buses in the desert. Although they moved very slowly, they saved a lot of effort.
The group of giant tortoises moved slowly. Along the way, Lin noticed that many carnivorous creatures would avoid the giant tortoises when they saw them. Even a Tyrant Lizard retreated when it saw them. It seemed that even such a large monster did not want to provoke these tortoises.
The giant tortoises would deliberately step on trap plants like the Cruel Thorn. When they were together, the thorns could not hurt the giant tortoises at all. In that case, the giant tortoises would turn around and eat the plants.
Tucker seemed very relaxed as he rode on the invincible bus. Time passed slowly. When it was close to nightfall, the giant tortoise finally arrived at its destination.
This place was like the dividing line of the earth. On one side was a wilderness full of low plants, and on the other was a completely barren white desert. The sand seemed to be mixed with salt. The dry hot wind blew across the surface. In this white sea of sand, Lin could not see any living creatures.
Tucker jumped off the giant tortoise. The giant tortoises did not stop. They continued to walk in the direction of the white sea of sand. Lin Sanjiu did not know where they were going.
Tucker's target was a pile of … things called 'huts' at the edge of the sea of sand.
'Huts', Lin thought it was a very strange word. Those things looked like piles of wood placed together in a circle. There were dozens of them at the edge of the sea of sand. They were all grouped together. This should be a nest built by the Humerus Dragon.
Why would they build a nest in such a dry wasteland?
Some Humerus Dragons were running around under the huts. They were very small and looked like a group of young ones.
Tucker walked towards the cubs and shouted at them as he walked. When the cubs saw him, they were scared to death. They were full of fear and all of a sudden, they all fled into the shack … What the f * ck.
