Chapter 19: Strange Monsters by the Big River
In the area near the river, the rainfall is obviously much less, and the plants are no longer as lush as the Yanggan has traveled along the way.
But the rain still filled the river, and the river flowed wildly. In the reddish-brown water, gray-black figures were sinking and floating.
It's a crocodile.
These crocodiles are about the same size as terrifying crocodiles, and the only difference is their mouths.
The crocodile has a wide mouth, while the crocodile has a long and narrow mouth. It looks wide at the front nose, as if there is a ball in front.
The scales on their backs are somewhat different from those on the horoscope. The backs are arranged horizontally, which is relatively smooth; instead of being arranged vertically like the horoscope, it also has rows of bulges.
This is the Emperor Crocodile.
In the Cretaceous world, another large crocodile was as famous as the terrifying crocodile.
He also has a reputation of fierceness and cruelty, which scares the enemy. He is a tyrant in the shallow swamp area.
What surprised Yang Gan was that, in the entire river, looking around, there were all gray-black spines. There were so many emperor crocodiles living together, where did the food come from?
Even if this river can maintain the water level when it rises like this, it is impossible to have so much food to supply them.
In addition to the river, the countless flying pterosaurs in the sky across the river also surprised Yang Gan. The river bank opposite seemed to have less rain, and the obvious greenness was not as much as Yang Gan stood, let alone the places where Yang Gan passed by these days.
There are also many dinosaurs wandering around on the ground, including Tyrannosaurus, Velvedora, Sharkodon, Carnivorous Cowsaurus, etc. Almost all carnivorous dinosaurs that Yang Gan knew or did not know can find their traces here.
From the sky, to the ground, and in the river, Yang Gan looked almost all of them.
If it weren't for the high sky and vastness of the earth, Yang Gan would have thought that these carnivorous creatures would have chewed off a piece of the sky.
Anyone who comes will be surprised.
Where do they come from foraging so many carnivorous creatures? You must know that this area was a dry wasteland not long ago, and more insects lived here.
Are these carnivorous creatures ready to change their tastes and start eating insects?
Just kidding, with their size, how many insects are there to have enough for them to have a meal?
Most carnivorous animals have an amazing food, because hunting is not successful every time, and prey is not available at any time. Therefore, they usually hunt small prey and eat as much as they eat, but if there is enough prey for them to eat, it is normal to eat one-tenth to one-fifth of their weight in one meal.
For example, a crocodile weighing a thousand kilograms can eat about 200 kilograms of food at a time. Because they can hide in the water after eating, without enemies, and do not need to exercise, and can slowly lie down and digest. In comparison, snakes also have such a large appetite, but because they are alone, they will sometimes be miserable. For example, the first giant python that Yang Gan saw in the Cretaceous period was the guy who was torn to pieces by the fearful crocodile father because he was too full to eat, and was torn to pieces by his terrified crocodile father.
The carnivorous creatures on land eat less, but they are definitely one-tenth of their weight.
In front of Yang Gan, there were countless carnivorous creatures in the rivers in the sky and underground. Moreover, these Cretaceous predators, even in their size, each or a group, needed to occupy a large area of territory to prey. But now they are all gathered together, in this barren area, are they waiting for food to fall from the sky?
There were all kinds of roars in my ears. They were carefully drawing out small territories and then waiting lazily for something. And those carnivorous dragons who had no small territories for the time being tried to gain a place for themselves either by their size or by their number.
Yang Gan began to think that the next moment, there would be aliens and other aliens driving a spaceship to feed them!
The air-tailed lizard suddenly flew up, swaying in front of his eyes, pointing and gestureing something.
Yang Gan has been with it for a long time and can already understand its meaning. Looking in the direction of its gesture, I saw that the figure of a velociraptor appeared sneakily in the distance.
This guy didn't know where to hide for a few days. He seemed to have lost weight, but his size became bigger and his body looked more streamlined. The change was not big, but Yang Gan had "close contact" with him and had been "traveling together" for many days. This change can still be seen.
Yang Gan, who was already accustomed to Cretaceous life, could certainly see that the slight adjustment of the velociraptor's head's body size could make it more agile, including making it faster and more agile, which was originally an advantage, and to give better results.
Of course, it is also possible that it was because its life was too rich and had eaten a little too fat. But life was difficult these days and had lost weight. After all, in the forest, as the leader leading a group of ordinary velociraptors, they occupied a large area of territory, and the food was simply within their reach.
But Yang Gan still believed more that this was the change brought to it by that strange stone.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why it was ecstatic about seeing the stone.
The dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period may not have wisdom, but in terms of survival instinct, these guys who have evolved for billions of years, even if they are time travelers, they dare not give themselves too much confidence, so as not to accidentally lose their way.
It seems that this word is not used properly. Yang Gan turned around and stopped thinking about this velociraptor.
The stone has entered its stomach. After so many days, it must have been almost digested. Even if you catch it, you may not be able to gain anything.
He turned and walked towards the muddy river.
When his huge figure appeared in the sight of the Emperor Crocodile, almost all the Emperor Crocodiles became turbulent.
Several imperial crocodiles, large enough, swam out of the crocodile group and stopped Yang Gan.
Although these emperor crocodiles are the largest among the crocodile groups in the river, they can only be considered children in Yang Gan's eyes.
Yang Gan had no intention of provoking a fight, but he was definitely not afraid of provocation.
However, these emperor crocodiles did not appear to be afraid that Yang Gan would seize the position of the leader, but to warn or remind him.
Anyway, they yelled for a while, and Yang Gan didn't understand their meaning very much. But after a while, the emperor crocodiles slowly retreated, leaving him alone with a piece of water, he still understood.
During this period of "communication", Yang Gan understood. These emperor crocodiles were not a group of races at all, but gathered together for some possible reason.
Therefore, they do not have a unified leader. Even if they join, in their opinion, they are nothing more than a stronger person. It is natural to divide themselves into a piece of territory after they express their consent or surrender.
They also don't seem to care about their arrival, and will divide their originally near-dead food sources, such as fish in the river - if there are still fish under the threat of so many emperor crocodiles.
Then Yang Gan put himself into the river, thrust into huge splashes, then turned around lazily and looked at the velociraptor provocatively.
He must arouse the anger or other emotions of the velociraptor and keep it patient enough to follow him so that he can get a chance to snatch him when he discovers another stone.
