Chapter 37: The Crisis of the Newborn Ceratosaurus
So, when the sun was escalating again, the procephaladders were horrified to discover that the terrifying monster came to the vicinity of their nest again.
They gathered again, confronted, and stalemate, and then lined up to watch him leave as Yang Gan stood up.
Day 3, Day 4...
Every morning, procephaladders always find big monsters near their nests, and then they always find out after panic that nothing happened. The monster seemed to be just planning to rest there and did not disturb them.
So when nearly ten days later, the little protoceratops began to drill out of the egg, Yang Gan got the opportunity to observe with his own eyes near the protoceratops' nest.
This is what Yang Gan thought of, so that he could watch the birth of the protoceratops with his own eyes to facilitate future observation.
It's just a very simple and direct small plan, it's just a little time and patience.
In fact, the effect was very good, which made him a little proud.
These protoceratops have experienced many great migrations. On the road and on the fields, there are always countless carnivorous dinosaurs around them. Many times, hunters and prey run wildly on the migration road, and the distance they get close can even be described as being close at hand.
When carnivorous creatures get enough food, they will never do unnecessary killing. Even if they follow them all the time, they are just for their next meal. Any waste of energy before hunger is stupid, and any hunting behavior is redundant.
In the eyes of carnivorous creatures, this is the experience and habit they have cultivated for survival over the past billions of years; in Yang Gan's view, the instinct of these creatures following the rules of nature should really allow humans to learn and learn tens of millions of years later.
At least they will never hunt an elephant for an ivory.
Of course, this is just Yang Gan’s complaints every day when he is bored and waiting for bored. After all, he doesn’t do anything and just stares at the piles of dead branches and leaves. It’s really boring.
And the more the last moment, the more nervous the protoceratops mothers became. Often, a little movement would make them gather together and be ready to resist the possible enemies.
So Yang Gan couldn't do anything except his random thoughts, for fear of scaring these mothers who were like frightened birds.
As if he felt something, a procephaladder carefully pushed away the dead branches and broken soil covered with his mouth. While guarding against the possible dangers around him, he was watching the neatly arranged dinosaur eggs below.
The other protoceratops also felt relieved, and soon the dinosaur eggs in the nest were exposed.
The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves of the woods, leaving mottled light and shadow on the nest.
A dinosaur egg moved slightly, stopped for a long time, and moved again. A small dot suddenly bulged on the eggshell. The new little life inside was obviously very anxious. After the eggshell raised, it was estimated that it used all the strength in the eggshell to hit the bulge hard.
"Crack!"
A slight sound came, and several broken egg shells flew out lightly, and a small hole in the egg shell was exposed. Then, a blue-gray, nutritious mucus in the sticky egg shell, a small head that looked extremely tender, and its eyelids shook a few times, and then slowly opened it.
The small eyes rolled around, looking at the world that welcomed it, the sunshine, air, and the woods. Everything was so fresh, but this was not what it was looking for. Finally, it found the most wanted to see, the ferocious head of the female protocerado.
“Woo wow wow wow wow…”
The new protoceratops opened their mouths and made an extremely tender cry, calling on the creature that instinctively made it feel closest to. They also announced their arrival to this magnificent and cruel world of behemoths.
Yang Gan seemed to feel that he had thought of something.
I remember when Xiaoqing was carrying a stone and hitting the giant lizard but hitting it on his head, the stone burst out with a flash of inspiration for himself.
At that time, I seemed to think that the idea was very important, but unfortunately I was bitten away by the giant lizard.
Then he remembered an idea at that time, which was to learn to practice and use various tools. Although there was no effect at the moment, he believed that his efforts would not be wasted.
But this is definitely not the only one idea. At that time, I seemed to have thought of a very bold idea, but I just couldn't remember it.
This distress can make any intelligent creature crazy.
I clearly know that there is such an idea or something that I have thought of, and it is very important and critical, but I just think about it and can't figure it out.
It was like a man who had been out for dozens of miles, and suddenly remembered a very important thing. He ran home in one breath and faced the empty house, but he couldn't remember why he ran back?
The more I think about it, the more I feel a headache. Yang Gan feels that he must think it out as soon as possible, otherwise he may forget it over time.
"Ji...ji...ji...ji..."
A familiar cry suddenly came from nearby, interrupting Yang Gan's hard thinking.
Didn’t Xiaoqing run and play by himself? Why is there something wrong with it when it comes back? It is in danger?
Yang Gan immediately became alert, and after a breath, he realized that the call was not Xiaoqing's. Xiaoqing's call was not so sharp or so urgent.
The big head slightly adjusted the direction, and soon he discovered the source of the sound.
Then, he started to have a headache.
The thin-jawed dragon that makes sounds, also called the Meijid dragon.
This is the smallest dinosaur that humans have discovered in Yang Gan’s previous life. Of course, now Yang Gan knows that they are not the smallest, and there are really many smaller ones.
The slim-jawed dinosaurs are bipedal dinosaurs with a slender tail and neck, and a mouth like a crocodile. If you only look at the body, they are the size of a chicken.
It is said that their eggs are only about one centimeter, but Yang Gan has never seen them before, and he has no idea of studying the size of their eggs at this moment.
Because although they are about the same size as chickens, they are more flexible than chickens.
The most important thing is that these little things are also meat-eating.
Perhaps even bigger dinosaurs will not be afraid of them, after all, their petite and light bodies are destined to be weak in power.
But there are little creatures here that are small enough to be afraid of them, the small protoceratops in the nest. At this time, facing the female protoceratops, their small and clever bodies have become an advantage.
Just like a group of lions can hunt bison or even lonely elephants, but they can't do anything about the flies flying on their heads all day long.
