Chapter 50 Come To You
The journey started again is not as pleasant and comfortable as last time. Riding a bull and Sitting Brachiosaurus are completely different experiences. The former is naturally more bumpy and tiring. It is impossible to enjoy the same sightseeing as last time. After all They also need to be on guard against the prey behind them.
The stamina of most predators will not be so good, but there are waves of predators waiting to be robbed on the road, probably vaguely aware of Bai's body, or they can smell the threat of big cats from the smell Although the small predators are far away and will attack the stragglers in the team, they rarely attack their mounts actively.
In the beginning, both Li Shizhen and Bai rarely left the herd, relying entirely on food and water reserves.Soon, both of them realized that this kind of consumption was not an option. The water was better, but the food could not be stored for a long time because they did not have enough salt, so Li Shizhen did not prepare much, so they had to be on the road at any time Supplement water and food.
Along the way, he seemed to notice the endless stream of small predators around him. Bai You suggested that he change back into the form of a white tiger to go on the road, but Li Shizhen flatly rejected it.
Although when he first heard Bai's proposal, Li Shizhen was surprised that this shape could be changed at will, and at the same time he was also a little moved. Of course, the deterrent effect of the tiger shape is greater for small predators, but when he thought of the last time He immediately denied the narrow escape from tiger to human.
Are you kidding, I want to know that although this form change is reversible, the energy and matter consumed in the body will not be reduced by this reversibility. The body of this white tiger has just stabilized, and the journey is not bad. Taiping, there is no need to risk your body and life like this.
Considering that Baihu's human form is not as sharp-toothed and huge as his animal form, Li Shizhen also prepared some weapons for Bai alone, and Bai himself made some on the road. Judging by his height and shape, he is proficient After using it, its lethality will never be much smaller than when it was in tiger form.
Night is the most dangerous time. At this time, the herd will generally choose to rest in a relatively open place where predators are not easy to ambush, and the two will also choose a place that is slightly closer to rest.
When the herd stopped, they tied up their mounts and went to fetch water and hunt again, and they would never make the mistake of letting their mounts run away with supplies anyway.
But then again, their previous means of transportation was a Brachiosaurus, and if you want to tie it up, you have to be able to tie it up. Besides, the huge body of a Brachiosaurus needs to be constantly replenished with energy, and Miss Brachiosaurus is pregnant. Li Shizhen was also afraid that if he tied it up, he would starve to death.
Thinking of the brachiosaurus that would stop for them in the end, Li Shizhen couldn't help but miss it a little bit. With the speed of the brachiosaurus trekking, they stayed by the river for so long, and the brachiosaurus might have reached their destination. .
The time to stay on the road is also very tight. Along the way, there are very few prey and water sources at the beginning. The cattle can still rely on the moisture in the grass blades to support them, but the two cannot. They can only rely entirely on the inventory and luggage they carry. Shizuo collects some dew with his water collection equipment.
In this case, neither Bai nor Li Shizhen could be picky about the water source, as long as it looked clear and had no obvious smell, they could accept it.
But even under such difficult conditions, to Li Shizhen's surprise, after turning into a human form, Bai has his own principles in certain things.
After riding this cow, Bai no longer put its herd on his diet. No matter how difficult the journey was, no matter how hungry and thirsty the two of them were, he never thought of them. This old and weak outcast in the herd He also just watched silently, without the thought of sharing food with other predators.
Even when other predators attack, Bai will provide some shelter if he goes well.
Li Shizhen silently assisted, and seemed to be used to Bai's persistence and stubbornness.Not to mention Yongquan repaying each other, at least don't be ungrateful. On this point, Li Shizhen, like Bai, is willing to stick to his moral bottom line.
With more and more predators, their bodies are getting bigger and bigger, and both food and water sources are sporadically increasing. At the beginning, they have to beware of hungry and dizzy predators attacking at night, but gradually , this kind of sneak attack has been reduced, and the predators behind seem to have other targets to distract their attention, which is much better than when they were by the river, and it is enough for them to solve their food problem.
Along the way, all the weapons that Li Shizhen prepared for Bai let him grope and become proficient. Seeing the sharp wooden stick that Li Shizhen used as a spare spear was thrown out easily by Bai "huh", Li Shizhen =Dish=!
Therefore, a beast is a beast, even if it takes human form, it is still a beast!
It's all about being stronger and more accurate, but this big cat seems to hate the midday sun even more after it takes human form?
In the past, it could be said that a body of fur was afraid of heat, but now?It seems that the situation is not so simple to hate the heat and the sun's glare.
Li Shizhen was very concerned about the noon combat power of the team members, until he found that Bai seemed to be unable to open his eyes if he didn't wear a hat at noon?He was a little helpless, this guy was quite able to hide things in his heart, he didn't mention this question when he was in tiger form before, he only covered his eyes with auspicious clothes, but now he put on his hat in human form and didn't make a sound.
It's a pity that there are no sunglasses or anything here. It should be because the pigment is too light and the vision is sensitive to strong light.Li Shizhen thought that he would be much better after wearing the hat, so he didn't bother with this problem any more. If he couldn't do it, he might make him a blindfold or something in the future.
Gradually, Li Shizhen discovered that although the number of raiders was decreasing, the time for the cattle to stay and eat was getting longer and longer. Could it be that they were getting close to their destination?
Seeing Li Shizhen's joyful expression as if he had discovered something, Bai just smiled without saying a word.
This morning, the moving speed of the herd was obviously much faster. When he saw the abundant water flow not far ahead, even Li Shizhen couldn't help but let out a long breath.
You must know that the trek these days is bumpy, coupled with the harsh eating environment, and the fear of predators from time to time. If he didn't know that the destination ahead was very rich and beautiful, he would have been too tired to support him.
The most tiring thing is actually not coping with the hardships of the journey and the danger of attacks, but the target that you haven’t seen for a long time. The feeling that you can’t know or grasp is too frustrating for a good boy who likes to have goals and plans. .
The herd stopped to drink water.
But Bai gestured to Li Shizhen, and the two got off their mounts with their weapons ahead of time, and stopped far away.
At first Li Shixuan thought that Bai wanted to take the opportunity to go hunting, but he seemed to be a little uncertain when he saw Bai Jingjing's expression standing aside.
Soon, Li Shizhen knew the reason, and the cows were a little hesitant to drink water. Some young calves even took a quick sip before taking a step back to observe, and then carefully stepped forward to take a sip of water.
Li Shizhen stared at the water, waiting for the danger to surface. Although he was thirsty, at this time, the prey and the predator competed with patience.
"Wow—"
Accompanied by the huge water waves on the shore, Li Shizhen saw a completely different kind of predator in the water from before. From the situation of the previous overlord in the water, it seems that the four limbs should be fins, mainly the fins. To move around in the water, at most it can lie in ambush in the mud, but now this kind of creature has obviously evolved the limbs of a reptile, like an amphibian, with huge upper and lower jaws, almost exactly the same as a crocodile, but its body shape is almost the same as that of Li Shizhen. Twice ever seen.
Twice the size, realizing that the crocodile's terrible bite force is at least twice as much, the cow that retreated a little later was undoubtedly dragged into the water.
The cows were startled and backed away more than ten meters. Following the entry of the cow into the water, more violent water waves were set off. Countless giant crocodiles scrambled for the prey, and never gave in to each other. There was a shallow layer of waves on the edge of the waves. Pale crimson, with prey and predators.
Li Shizhen felt a little heavy because of the joy of arriving at the migration place. He sighed slightly. There is no danger anywhere on this continent. Any relaxation needs to be careful. If you are not careful, you may pay a price that you cannot bear.
When he came back to his senses, Bai patted the two cows, unloaded everything, carried the weapon and a few bamboo tubes on his back, untied the tether around the cows' necks, and let them go free.
It took Li Shizhen a long time to realize, yes, since they have arrived at their destination, let them leave by themselves.But when he looked up, there was only this water source in front of him, and the green hills were not far away, and he always felt that something was missing.
Bai seemed sure that the crocodile that was full would not attack again, so he threw a bamboo tube far away to fetch some clear water, and then pulled Li Shizhen up the mountain.
Li Shizhen was a little confused, did he need to find a place to stay?He looked down at the hand held by Bai, paused, and Bai looked back at him suspiciously.Looking at those ice-blue pure eyes, Li Shizhen had no choice but to lift his heels up.
"Where are you going? Do you want to find a place to rest?" After all, he has never been here before, and he doesn't know any predators, so Bai's posture seems quite familiar.
Bai shook his head.
Li Shizhen looked at Bai with some confusion: "Why, isn't it looking for a place to stay?"
Bai laughed out loud, showing his white teeth. He didn't answer, but just led Li Shizhen into the forest in front of him.
Along the way, Li Shizhen's eyesight was a little weak. The species here were obviously more abundant than in the original jungle. He saw two small colorful dinosaurs happily scrambling for a nut that he didn't know what it was. The nuts rolled past under their feet, and the two little dinosaurs also fought to pass under their feet.
Among them, the blue-green one snatched the nuts and slid into a tree hole that had been hollowed out, and the other yellow-green one looked outside with a chirp, and then jumped in with a snap. , There were chirping and banging sounds from inside.
Li Shizhen laughed out loud.
Bai glanced at him: "I can't eat it." There seemed to be regret under the tone.
Li Shizhen gave him a supercilious look, a foodie is a foodie, but he was also quite curious: "Poisonous?"
Bai nodded affirmatively.
Li Shizhen knew it, he was so small, and his color was so eye-catching, if it wasn't for the poison, he would have been eaten long ago.
From time to time, pterosaurs and birds of prey passed by the top of the tall forest. Li Shizhen raised his head and looked carefully. He was slightly moved. It turns out that there are so many kinds of pterosaurs in different colors, red, blue, orange, and red. , with tails and without tails, they are as diverse as birds.
There are also some strange species on the treetops, which are between dinosaurs and birds. They have dazzling feathers, but they also have sharp teeth of dinosaurs. Fortunately, they are not big, and their songs are not as mellow as ordinary birds, more like pterosaurs sharp.
From time to time, some huge footprints can be seen on the slightly moist soil on the ground. It seems that their owners have not been away for a long time, but just passed here. The world is at hand.
Bai has been holding him to lead the way, and his pace has never been rushed, leaving Li Shizhen enough time to observe, but he has always maintained enough vigilance.Then he stopped and handed Li Shizhen a red fruit.
Li Shixuan:?
Li Shizhen was a little hesitant. Since he had the experience of blue Lingguo, he didn't dare to easily deduce the purpose of the things that Baihu handed over.
Bai reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat."
Li Shizhen took a bite, the juice was plentiful and sweet. Although he drank some water just now after being thirsty for a long time, he hadn’t eaten fruit or something for a long time along the way. Li Shizhen slightly bent his eyes, so, Baihu is here Feed?
Li Shizhen glanced at him suspiciously. It seems that this white tiger is really familiar with this place. He must have stayed here for a long time before arriving in the southern jungle.
Maybe it's finally arrived at the destination, or maybe the white tiger next to him feels more reliable and safer. This kind of easy travel rhythm gave Li Shizhen, who has been struggling all the time, a rare feeling. The joy of emptying the brain, it seems that those emotions and plans have disappeared, and you only need to appreciate the vivid scenery around you.
Only then did he suddenly realize that all this time, he had put too much burden on himself, and had too many things in his mind, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe and didn't realize it.People who have never run long-distance with a load of dozens of kilograms will not really appreciate the joy of walking empty-handed. He discovered that in fact, this continent may be bloody and cruel, but under the law of fair jungle, there is also a side that makes people calm, as long as you Ken unburdened himself of that burden.
What is terrible is never the hardships ahead, but the burden you invisibly put on yourself when you face the hardships.Instead of adding momentum, it will slow you down and suffocate you every step of the way.Perhaps only nature has such a charm. She can show you the cruelest truth and give you the most peaceful comfort.
Bai suddenly stopped under a big tree, and Li Shizhen saw the familiar blue water chestnut fruit again, without Bai saying anything, Li Shizhen picked it off and smeared it on his body.
Then Bai moved briskly onto a big tree. Li Shizhen was a little surprised, because even in the original jungle, Baihu seldom needed to pass through the air like Li Shizhen. He has been wandering in the jungle, and it is estimated that the Deinonychus can cause him some trouble, and he also dealt with it badly.
So, what's ahead?Want Baihu to avoid it so carefully?
Li Shizhen didn't make a sound, even Baihu's movements should be lightened, he had better keep quiet.
The vegetation in this forest is also very lush, and the distance between the big trees is not far, so it looks very deep. From time to time, there are all kinds of indistinguishable calls of birds or dinosaurs, and the height of the two people climbing It was about ten meters before Bai signaled to stop.
Then there was Li Shizhen's familiar rhythm of using meteor claws and vines to swing forward.
Bai's jumping ability is probably much better than Li Shizhen's. He can walk up and down these big trees without any tools at all.
Suddenly there was the sound of chewing branches and leaves under the tree. Bai seemed to have heard something and made a gesture. Li Shizhen sat on a branch and hid himself.
A Triceratops gradually left the group along the branches and leaves of the bush, and began to chew under the tree. Li Shizhen instinctively felt that Baihu's reminder was not simple, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He licked his lips, and the sweetness of the fruit just now It seemed to linger on his lips, but it didn't ease his tension any more.
That rhythmic pace came from afar, and Bai, Li Shizhen and the Triceratops under the tree cast their gazes in one direction at the same time.
Suddenly, the Triceratops began to run back towards the group, but its huge size and heavy body prevented it from moving so quickly. At this time, the sound of its steps was getting closer.
Li Shizhen once again witnessed the scene of the Tyrannosaurus fighting the Triceratops, and once again understood the purpose of their climbing the tree. There are too many large herbivores and carnivores in this land.
The defeat of this Triceratops is not wronged. This is obviously a very experienced Tyrannosaurus. The rhythm and timing of the attack are very well grasped. Dragon, expose your weakness.
This tyrannosaur bit its sharp horn and shook it violently, and the Triceratops was also struggling fiercely. This is almost the strongest bite force of the land overlord against the toughest neck muscles of the herbivorous giant. The plum on the tree Shi Zong can even see the strong muscles bulging on the Tyrannosaurus rex, and every footstep of the two sides will vibrate the treetops.
The confrontation was quickly ended by the arrival of another Tyrannosaurus, which simply rushed behind the Triceratops, biting hard at the rear covered by its shield bone.
The strong smell of blood permeated the woods. This was not the first time Li Shizhen saw a Tyrannosaurus hunting, but it was the first time he watched the whole process condescendingly.Obviously, this is a Tyrannosaurus couple who have cooperated for a long time and have rich hunting experience.
Maybe it's because this is not the first time Li Shizhen has seen a Tyrannosaurus, maybe it's because of the difference in perspective, or maybe it's because he's more courageous and firm after his mentality matures. At first he was a little nervous, but slowly, his His heartbeat returned to normal speed, and he watched the predator under the tree calmly and attentively.
Yes, Predator, he is also a Predator, they are peers, the opponent is stronger than him and Baihu, but they are not necessarily as cunning and scheming as they are, in real comparison, they may not be peers who will lose.
Bai Zai quietly observed the situation under the tree, and did not miss Li Shizhen's changes. Seeing the calm eyes of the female next to him, thinking about his panicked expression last time, his white and blue eyes flashed A little praise and joy.
Li Shizhen silently watched the tyrannosaurs tearing at their prey, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
The gore caused by a torn artery in an adult triceratops is like the most powerful stimulant in the woods. For large carnivores, this signal is "Come on, come on, there is a free lunch Oh~"
When the third Tyrannosaurus rumbled over, Li Shizhen was extremely surprised.You must know that top predators like Tyrannosaurus rex should not only have a sense of territory, but also consume a huge amount of prey to feed them within a certain range, which is why the stronger the predator, the wider the territory it needs.
This is a natural selection. If your strength is not enough to hold the territory that can satisfy your consumption, you can only starve to death and be ruthlessly eliminated.Those who survive must be predators who can defend their territory and feed themselves.
As for the situation he had never seen before, Li Shizhen stared at it without blinking, which could only show that the density of herbivores in the vicinity was too high, attracting too many predators.
Thinking of the two tyrannosaurs that moved northward, Li Shizhen frowned slightly. There are still many top predators in this land.
One tyrannosaurus gives people the feeling of trembling and horror, and the scene of two tyrannosaurs roaring, threatening, sizing up and circling each other is even more frightening.
In terms of the shape of these two tyrannosaurs, the later one is slightly smaller, probably not long after adulthood, and has no fixed spouse, but the ferocious nature of tyrannosaurus predators will not change because of age, probably because of age. Because of this, this Tyrannosaurus looks more aggressive.
It actively roared violently at the older Tyrannosaurus, showing off its powerful upper and lower jaw muscles and sharp teeth. Its powerful tail slapped the ground fiercely, splashing the mud, leaving irregularly shaped shallow spots. pit.
Most of the past experience tells it that such a show of force will make the opponent give up the prey, but this time it may not be so lucky.
The two tyrannosaurs accelerated and bit each other fiercely. The young one bit the opponent's upper and lower jaws fiercely, and the older one did not let go of the opponent's lower jaw. As the two thick and powerful necks swayed, Li Shizhen The sprayed blood was clearly seen on the tree, and it was sprayed radially on the surrounding ground like a large watering can.
The female dragon who was on the sidelines quickly rushed up and bit the enemy's hind legs when the two males were fighting hard to separate. There was a muffled sound of a firm closure.
"Aw—" The tragic howl resounded through the entire forest, startling countless pterosaurs and birds. Li Shizhen felt his thigh throbbing and hurting when he heard it.
The two tyrannosaurs have loosened their jaws due to the attack of the female dragon, but the female dragon's bite has not been loosened. It seems that the momentum will not relax until the next piece of meat is bitten. The young tyrannosaurus was bitten Howled in misery, Li Shizhen felt terrible after seeing it.So, is it true that the males will shy away from the males when the females initiate ruthlessness?
The female dragon bit the opponent's left leg fiercely and pulled it. Seeing that the tyrannosaurus was unable to support one leg, its center of gravity was unstable and it was about to fall, the older tyrannosaurus rushed forward fiercely. Lifting his chin, he took advantage of the opportunity to give the opponent a fierce impact.
Li Shixuan clearly saw that the huge body of the young Tyrannosaurus flew at least three meters away because of the impact. One must know that such a huge body had to fly such a distance, and the older Tyrannosaurus What an effort it took!
The bad luck of the young tyrannosaurus did not end, or it ended soon. Its neck fell on the sharp horns of the Triceratops corpse, and it pierced with a huge momentum, and the arteries spurted high Blood Spring, it twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Li Shixuan clearly felt that the ground, including the tens of meters high tree he was in, trembled violently because of the fall of the Tyrannosaurus just now.This is the power of giant beasts. Whether it is a Triceratops or a Tyrannosaurus, even if they die, they will still cause a lot of shock and influence to the surroundings.
The two tyrannosaurs returned to watch the Triceratops corpse and continued to enjoy their delicious meal. Huge muscles were torn off from the Triceratops. The Tyrannosaurus didn't even chew much, just raised its neck and swallowed it a few times. go down.
The whole eating process was not slow, and Li Shizhen left quickly under the leadership of Bai after the two tyrannosaurs filled their necks and left.
Li Shizhen also gradually realized that this place is rich in resources, but it also seems extremely dangerous. The tyrannosaurs are all spawned in groups. Is it really okay to stay here?
He glanced at the white tiger in front of him suspiciously, this guy actually didn't explain anything to him!
Gradually, the trees they climbed became more and more sparse, and it seemed that there was a relatively open place ahead.
Li Shizhen heard the sound of water again, and the sound of water became louder and louder. He thought that there must be a bigger water flow in front of him.Suddenly, Bai, who had reached the edge, stopped and turned back to smile at him, jumped down the tree, and stretched out his hand to signal him to jump down.
Li Shizhen nodded and slowly moved down from the tree. He is not a cat, he has nine lives or something.
Bai shook his head helplessly, and pulled him to move on. He stopped when he came to a valley, and showed a sly and bright smile to Li Shizhen, like a naughty boy who secretly hid some treasure. Fen couldn't wait to present the treasure.
Bai let go of his hand, gently put his hand around his back, and pushed him, Li Shizhen turned out of the mountain, and he was dumbfounded by the white world in front of him.
Only now did he deeply understand why countless animals trek thousands of miles to come back here again, and his heart was once again filled with shock and awe of nature.
The huge sound of water made Li Shizhen's ears ache from the shock. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with the curtain of water falling rapidly from a high altitude, mixed with countless foams and snow white. Li Shizhen looked up and looked up at him His hat fell to the ground with a snap, and he saw the white top meet the blue sky.
The noon sun was so dazzling that this waterfall really seemed to pour down from the end of the infinitely high sky, outlining a circle of colorful halos in the sky. It was the most basic and simple color, and it was also the most gorgeous in the world. color.
Countless pterosaurs, large and small, built their lairs on the cliffs beside the waterfall, or their dazzling or strong membrane wings hovered beside the stream.
The plentiful water curtain rushes into the big river below with countless snow-white waves, crashing into a majestic rhythm. In the distance, the plentiful water flow reflects the scorching sun, like shining liquid metal flowing, and you can't see the other side at a glance. , Li Shizhen was amazed.
Farther away on the opposite bank, Li Shizhen saw an endless green field, and the endless mountain peaks at the end of the green field were covered with endless white snow. The blue, green, and white colors intertwined in the field of vision, but it has the most magnificent scenery in the world. The splicing and changing of the most unpredictable and majestic, let Li Shizhao take it for granted.
In the lower reaches of the waterfall and river, countless herbivores are drinking water and looking for food freely; in the sky, countless pterosaurs and birds are wandering; in the river, you can see big fish jumping up from time to time.
The sound of water, the sound of fluttering wings, and the cry of animals are so harmoniously and beautifully intertwined.
Extending beyond the end of the line of sight, such a vast river will cover an unimaginable area, moisten countless lands, support countless lives, and finally flow into the boundless ocean.
Such a majestic and majestic scene suddenly moved Li Shizhen. Perhaps, all the animals have traveled thousands of miles just to fulfill a promise with this land, a promise that has been agreed since ancient times, and a promise that is imprinted on the hearts of all animals. In the blood, in the genes, the promise passed down from generation to generation.
Even though this land is dangerous and has countless challenges, the thriving pulse of life under the current makes all animals willing to go through hardships and travel thousands of miles just to return to her.
Reaching out his hand to wipe the water droplets splashed on his face, Li Shizhen turned his head and showed a big smile to Bai, and then roared with his loudest voice: "It's so beautiful!"
Bai's answer was a long and long howl that echoed between the heaven and the earth, as if announcing to the land here that he returned here alive again as agreed, and returned to the starting point of his journey, as if announcing a brand new but far-reaching impact. start.
A clear long cry resounded like a response. Amidst the sound of the roaring water, it was like a vague whisper, seemingly real or unreal. Li Shizhen turned his head suddenly. On the other side, among a group of figures with long necks stretched out, there was one carrying a The figure of the schoolbag stretched its neck to look at them from a distance. Listening carefully, the whisper-like long cry seemed to say "Long time no see".
Li Shizhen's smile was like clearing the clouds to see the sun, clearing away the heavy smog, as if the fatigue, fear, and hardships on the migration road were all swept away by this clear greeting at this moment.Difficulties and obstacles, thousands of miles of travel, I am so glad that you are still waiting for us, my friend, long time no see.
Note: The name and summary of this chapter are all from the theme song of "Migrating Birds", and the documentary that shakes the soul will not explain it.
