Survive in the beast world

Chapter 4

In the middle of the night, Li Shizhen suddenly woke up and sat up.Maybe he knew the danger subconsciously, he didn't sleep deeply, but the feeling of suddenly waking up from a dream with a rapid heartbeat because of fear was very bad.

The surroundings were wet and cold, and all those terrible howls before disappeared, leaving only an ominous rustling sound in the bushes. Li Shizhen tightly held the wooden stick in his hand in fear, and hugged himself into a ball.It took me a while to wipe the sweat off my forehead, and I summoned up the courage to stretch out my arms to add more firewood. I heard the crackling sound of firewood, which at least broke the frightening sound just now.

However, just when Li Shizhen was ready to lie down again, a white light suddenly lit up in the sky. For a moment, the surroundings were as bright as day, but Li Shizhen also saw a pair of eyes in the bushes not far away!A pair of eyes that are by no means human, perhaps not even beastly!Li Shizhen even hated his good eyesight at this time. At that moment, he not only saw a pair of yellow, cold vertical pupils, but also saw its huge head and sharp dense teeth hidden under the branches and leaves, like two rows of hacksaws up and down. , reflecting cold light under the bright light.

Li Shizhen can even resemble that kind of teeth. If it bites at the prey, it must not cause the prey to bleed or suffocate to death like the long teeth of cats, but tear off pieces of flesh and blood from his body like sawtooth, and he is still alive. The prey will clearly feel the pain of being torn off piece by piece.Thinking of this, the hairs all over his body shuddered, the blood flowed backwards, his hands and feet were cold, and his brain was completely blank.

When his consciousness came back again, he felt that he was screaming in fear and trembling all over. This was an instinct that he didn't realize and couldn't control. All the muscles on the face shrank into a ball, pouring out all the fear from his mouth.Seized by great fear, he could do nothing else.

However, he couldn't even hear his own voice, and the surroundings became dark again, but a rumbling thunder sounded, completely covering his voice.

There was a clap of thunder, which was completely different from the previous low, as if it was about to split something. Li Shizhen woke up suddenly, but he also heard the rattling sound clearly, which was the sound of his teeth chattering up and down, and his throat was shaking. There was a tearing burning pain, and he didn't know how much effort he had used to scream just now.Only then did he realize that the fear just now had made his brain go blank, completely unaware of what he was doing and what he heard.

The bushes not far from the fire could no longer be seen clearly, and all the methods to calm him down in the past were no longer effective. He had no idea how many terrifying monsters like just now were lurking in the dense bushes around him. Monster, danger!Danger!Danger!Reason is also sending out such dire signals.

God, it's going to rain.

You can't sit still like this!He didn't know the attacking habits of the unknown monsters, why they were lurking, how many were around them, and which direction they would come from. At least they were sure that they were also afraid of flames, so he felt relieved.But at this time, the heartbeat was very fast, and the beating of the pulse was thumping in the ear, even overshadowing the sound of the wind. What is it, I always feel very important, what has he forgotten, why is he so afraid and uneasy subconsciously?

Wow - it's raining.

Li Shizhen was not drenched by any rain in the tent, but he clearly heard the crackling sound of the rain hitting the top of his head. It was dense, fast and terrifying, like the prelude to some kind of hunting, which made people frightened.He watched the water drops fall on the fire, and his heart was cold and dead.

However, afterwards, he was also surprised by his calmness, courage and decisiveness at this time.

He got up and got out of the tent, clenched the wooden stick in his hand, didn't even try to save the bonfire, and didn't even look away to see what was going on in the bushes. Realizing his plan, he couldn't hold back any longer. With the last gleam before the fire went out, he clearly saw a huge black shadow attacking him, too fast!Before he even had time to see what it was, he picked up the wooden stick and used all his strength to meet it fiercely.

The sharp diamond-shaped stone on the wooden stick pierced into something fiercely, he couldn't see anything in the darkness, he only felt the weight of the wooden stick in his hand made his feet stagger, chirp - a scream that pierced the eardrum It seemed to be ringing right next to his ears, so close, his head seemed to be under those two rows of sharp teeth, and he could even clearly smell the stench and hot air from the monster's nostrils blowing from the top of his head.He clearly felt the huge struggle coming from his hand, it still seemed to want to get rid of the wooden stick to attack, its sharp front claws seemed to be constantly scratching the delicate wooden stick in his arm, making a tooth-piercing sound , he almost couldn't grasp it, but he could only grit his teeth and maintain a half-squat position, his hind feet were firmly pressed against the giant tree behind him, even if his hands were scratched and the skin seemed to be so hard that he didn't feel it, he still firmly resisted it. Wooden stick, never give it any possibility of melee attack.

chirp-

chirp-

He heard a voice not far away, damn, this thing probably has companions!

Gritting his teeth and roaring, he bent his legs and kicked the big tree behind him, pushing the monster away fiercely, and let go of the wooden stick in his hand.As if blessed by the gods, a flash of lightning lit up again. Taking advantage of the moment when the world was bright, Li Shizhen definitely used all his motor cells to climb up the tree.Even if he was struck to death by lightning, he would never live to experience the feeling of being bitten into pieces.

The rushing rain poured down, soaking his whole clothes, and the tree trunk became extremely slippery.He didn't dare to think about the consequences if a skater fell, and the fight just now seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he felt that his hands and feet were a little weak.In another flash of light, he clearly saw three upright monsters with thick tails, thick tails and sharp front claws under the tree. My God, they were actually——!He didn't have time to be frightened, the pupils contracted sharply, one of them even kicked its hind legs fiercely, flicked its tail, opened its big mouth and jumped towards him, he could even see clearly the sharp gap between the wide-opened jaws of the monster. Back teeth and a bloody tongue.Panting quickly, he firmly held the upper branch, quickly retracted his feet and curled up in mid-air.Amidst the sound of heavy rain, he clearly heard the sound of the monster's teeth colliding when its upper and lower jaws occluded in mid-air. The force was so great that the sound of the rain could not completely cover it up. feet up.It was too late to be afraid, amidst the belated thunder, he turned over the branch with the help of his hands, and continued to climb up, not even daring to stop to wipe the rain on his face.

After a long time, maybe not too long, he felt that he had climbed under a branch high enough, and then he stopped.

There were multiple rapid, high-pitched screams from under the tree.In the tall trees, without lightning, he couldn't see what was going on underneath.Could it be that those Deinonychus didn't intend to give up on him at all and wanted to guard him?Yes, Deinonychus, if he hadn't seen a restored model of this creature in a museum, he wouldn't have recognized it, at least in terms of appearance, it was very similar.While seeing the restoration model with emotion, he would not have thought that he would have the experience of witnessing and being hunted by it.

What he should have thought of, hot and humid weather, high oxygen content, a lot of ferns and gymnosperms in the woods, is this the Jurassic or the Cretaceous?I don't remember, I used to think of it as something to watch when I have nothing to do, how could he still remember.So the one that looks like a giraffe seen on the grassland during the day is a brachiosaurus?The ones flying in the sky are pterosaurs or something similar.etc!Apart from pterosaurs, there are birds of prey in the sky, either eagles or eagles, he was absolutely right!Moreover, there are also a large number of angiosperms in the forest. Among the animals I have seen, there are snakes, birds, and insects, and there are small animals that look like mammals. These things did not evolve during the Jurassic or Cretaceous periods!

He was completely confused, but he laughed at himself, maybe this is not the earth at all, the seasons can change, so why can't the location be changed.How can he use things on earth to explain everything now.Maybe Brachiosaurus, Pterosaur, and Deinonychus just evolved similarly, not necessarily exactly the same.Only one thing is certain, this place is extremely dangerous.These various evolutions strongly illustrate one point - the competition for survival is fierce here!

Putting on the hood of his coat, he was shivering as he rode on a branch and hugged in a ball, but he couldn't think of any way to keep warm.Carefully taking the schoolbag to his front, taking out the bread, he began to eat bit by bit in the presence of the rain, maybe adding some calories would make him feel better.

The voice under the tree suddenly became furious, and the sharp scream became more urgent and manic, and there was a commotion, as if a fight had started?

Li Shizhen trembled, and then he was numb. It wasn't him trembling just now, but the tree?What was that hitting the tree?Such a big tree is trembling?

Shouts, roars, physical collisions and even bites rang out, and nothing could be discerned in the rain.After a long and sharp cry that broke everything, the tree became quiet again, so quiet that except for the sound of rain, Li Shizhen could only hear his own heartbeat.Is it his illusion, why in the sound of such heavy rain, he still seems to hear the sound of chewing and biting, dripping with blood.He just sat quietly on the tree for half the night.

Dawn came again.

Li Shizhen looked at the red sun in the sky in a daze, and suddenly realized that he was still alive!No matter how long and terrible the night is, as long as you live, the sun will rise, and maybe you can return to the familiar place again.Clenched your fists, Li Shizhen, you are a man, live like a man, live well, come on!

With the sound of sneezing, Li Shizhen jumped off the tree.

However, under the tree, the familiar wooden stick was stained with blood and broke into two pieces. The Deinonychus skeleton next to it was only the head, and the entire spine was completely crushed. The predator was very picky, and the muscles were picked off and eaten. , the bones were laid out cleanly, the internal organs flowed all over the floor but the heart was missing, and the soaked white flesh and blood could still be seen on the crushed spine.After the rain washed away, the traces of the fight were very faint, but the broken branches, the "tents" scattered on the ground, the messy wood ash and the remains of Deinonychus all reminded Li Shizhen of this cold and cruel world.This Deinonychus was only stabbed by him and became the prey of other predators, so what about him, what if he was the one who was by the tent yesterday?

He shivered, there was no time to continue to be afraid, he was worried that the smell of blood would attract other terrible things, so he packed up the necessary things and turned back into the woods.

Although, he didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.But at least, now that he is still alive, there is hope for him to live.
