Survival In the World of Beasts

Chapter 40: Profound meaning of the growth of food

There were fewer and fewer water sources on the way, and the weather became hotter. In the hottest afternoon, even if Li Shizun sat quietly on the back of the brachiosaurus, he would be sweating profusely. The feeling that he was about to drain all the water in his body made him often feel that he would be dizzy in the next moment.

In order to resist the sun, Li Shizhao made curtains and hung all the animal skin bags that were emptied out of the consumption of materials to ensure that the sun must be completely shielded.

But if all the animal skins are put down to shade, although direct sunlight is avoided, the small room will be airtight, making it even more stuffy.

If you don't let it go, the direct sunlight can directly burn the fructose made by Li Zhizheng. In desperation, he can only change the rise and fall of the curtain according to the direction of the direct sunlight. At the same time, he had to increase his water intake to reduce the risk of heat stroke.

The big cat is even more miserable. In this kind of weather, it can't find a shady day to sleep and get up at night to go on the road as before. The heat and strong light are simply brutal torture for it.

It is now completely dying, with a sluggish look, its ears, tail, limbs and even eyelids and beards are weakly drooping, it looks like "Let me shitting".

Li Shizhen saw it and felt a little sympathetic. Fortunately, he is a human with a large number of sweat glands that can wick away sweat and is not so afraid of heat. I filled the big cat with some water from the bamboo tube, hesitated, and patted some water on its forehead and underarms. By the way, I fanned it with its own leaf notebook, which was a bit of coolness for one person and one tiger. gas.

When the sun finally went down a bit, the sluggish big cat finally shrank in aggrieved corner and fell asleep.

If it does not rest well during the day, it will not be able to hunt at night. It is very important for big cats to ensure the rest during the day. Occasionally a few days like this, it can persist during the day, but if it continues for a long time, I am afraid it will not work.

Li Shizhao stopped fanning, frowned and opened his book. Big cat did not follow the northward migration. It is not certain whether the route is consistent with the route back, but Li Shizhao prefers the negative answer. The reason is too simple. With so many herbivores migrating, how many plants are needed along the way to supply? He doesn't think that these vegetation will recover quickly in just a few months.

It is more likely that the direction of migration is opposite but the path is different, which is a circular structure. Therefore, the only ones that can be used to mark the migration process in the entire migration route are these three relatively large rivers.

And they had only crossed the first river, and the weather was so hot and dry. Li Shizhu thought about the condition of the big cat. Maybe he should build more water storage facilities, at least let it wipe or wipe it during the day to cool it down.

Towards the evening, Li Shizhao felt that the brachiosaurus team had stopped, and he looked out at a small forest.

The brachiosaurus finally had a chance to breathe and replenish energy, and they couldn't wait to start eating. Seeing them stretch their necks and swallow the leaf twigs without chewing and biting the leaves, Li Shizhao was already numb to this kind of unrestrained eating to a certain level.

What he wanted to check was whether there was a water source. Generally, there would be some groundwater around such groves. If he was lucky, there would be a puddle or something.

Sure enough, the brachiosaurus under his body took a few steps forward slowly, and Li Shizhao saw the small puddle. There were a few tendonosaurus with stripes on their bodies drinking beside the puddle. Also had to reluctantly give up the position. The adult bodies of these tendon dragons were not small, at least seven or eight meters long, but it was a pity that it was not enough to see in front of the brachiosaurus.

It seems that these brachiosaurus didn't send out any expulsion signal, but they walked forward slowly in this way and forced the tendonosaurus to retreat with the advantage of body shape. So, maybe there is also a gas field problem among the herbivorous dragons? And the aura is also related to altitude?

Li Shizhao looked down at the puddle and said it was a puddle. It was nowhere near as clear as the puddle when he was in the bamboo forest. It was more like a muddy pond. The water in it was full of yellow sand that was brought up by animals coming over.

Even so, Li Shizhao hadn't seen a puddle of this size for a while. If it weren't for the water in his bamboo tube, he and Baihu would not even be able to guarantee drinking water normally.

He observed the surrounding area, and there were no dead herbivores. The water source should not be contaminated by germs. He sighed. This kind of muddy water is really not to be missed for him now, and neither he nor the big cat can afford to waste it.

After taking a look at the big cat that had finally fallen asleep, Li Shizhen didn't intend to wake it up immediately. At this time, the brachiosaurus was drinking water. If the wooden barrel was used to fetch water like it was on the river bank, it was just that the puddle might be relatively shallow, and there was no way to hit too much at once, and it might leak in the middle.

Looking at the sky, probably the brachiosaurus is going to spend the night here today, just in time he can go down and collect more water to reserve.

Li Shizhen was not idle during the waiting time. He began to prepare busy, turning out all the empty wooden barrels in the materials, and preparing many other miscellaneous things.

When the big cat woke up in the evening, Li Shizhen was ready. He quickly put a backpack on the big cat, put on his weapon, and directly expressed his intention to go down with his actions.

The big cat stretched out lazily, but shrugged his shoulders needlessly, and shook his bag, feeling helpless for the female's weird persistence. Even though it’s dangerous at night, you don’t have to carry all the necessities every time you go out. There’s really no way ╮( ̄▽ ̄“)╭.

But Li Shizhen claimed that this was done to prevent them from being separated from the brachiosaurus group and not to be caught off guard. At least the necessary materials on their bodies can ensure that they can cope with various situations and catch up with the team.

Big Cat still compromised with this backpack, which didn't affect his actions so much but Li Shizhen insisted so much. It seemed that the short rest made him feel much better. At this time, the brachiosaurus group was resting in the small woods, and the big cat went down in a hurry, and the movements did not disturb the brachiosaurus.

Li Shizhao is particularly clumsy today. The reason is simple. He also holds a wooden bucket for storing water in his hand.

He tossed back and forth several times, took all kinds of things down, Miss Brachiosaurus was a bit disgusted with the passenger who frequently interrupted her rest, and the passenger who did not pay the fare, decisively bad comment! With a sigh of relief, Miss Brachiosaurus turned her long neck and continued to rest, not seeing her.

It seems that because of the distress of these two passengers, the brachiosaurus that they lived in gradually moved to the edge of the line, and because of this, their night activities did not attract the dislike of other brachiosaurus.

Li Shizhao did not immediately respond to the big cat’s request for hunting and cooking. Instead, he started tossing some large and small stones and sand on the water's edge. He made up a simple water purification filter device. While the sky was still bright, he The work of storing water was quickly started.

If conditions permit, he actually hopes to boil all the water. After all, such a source of water is really hard to rest assured.

The big cat wandered back without knowing where it came from, with a long-horned animal that didn't know whether it was a horse or a deer in its mouth.

Looking at its expression, there shouldn’t be any major threats nearby for the time being. Li Shizhen put his mind down, picked a direction away from the brachiosaurus group and started to build a simple stove. Today’s day is too hot, those The jerky ate panicked. Neither he nor the big cat ate much. It just happened to be solved right now.

Of course, when he returned to Miss Brachiosaurus to get the pot and seasonings, he was suspected of being rejected again.

One person and one tiger who ate Meimei dinner were not idle either. Li Shizhen did not turn off the flame, but started to boil and store water in a hurry. The white tiger also strolled around, and the Lord (shun) wanted to (convenient) to see if there was anything around him. What's dangerous? Let's see if we can make up more regular meals.

When the sky was completely dark, the big cat that didn't know where it had slipped came back, licking its mouth, and seeing what it looked like, the dinner should have been resolved. It happened to be the rhythm of activities and digestion after a meal. Li Shizhao did not hesitate to tie the largest wooden barrel filled with water to its back.

One person, one tiger, and ant-like busy working for a long time before they put the buckets full of water on the back of the brachiosaurus, during which they received countless jets of dislike from Miss Brachiosaurus.

After working for a few hours, Li Shizhao, who finally filled all the containers, finished it with satisfaction. It is not to blame for his fondness of storing all kinds of things, but there are too many uncertain factors on this continent, forever. I don't know what challenges will happen in the next moment. Of course, the more preparation we can do, the better. The full wooden barrels around really give him a lot of security.

After returning to the small room, when he saw Li Zhizhen finishing the wooden barrels and finally stopped, Bai Hu also let out a long sigh of relief lying in the middle of the bamboo barrels and preparing to go to sleep. To know what to carry, it really hurts the tiger’s self-esteem. , It is more brave, handsome and challenging activities like hunting.

Two thoughtful guys went to sleep at the same time. At this time, there were stars and no moons outside the small room, and there were only insects in the world, and the atmosphere was peaceful and soft as if it might be interrupted at any time.

The sky quickly lit up, and the brachiosaurus also started to walk in the long, unhurried sound, continuing this journey that seemed to see neither the beginning nor the end.

And soon, Li Shizhao felt fortunate for his wise decision that night.

The marching rhythm of the brachiosaurus group became more urgent, and the staying time for drinking water and eating was no longer enough to allow him to make such preparations again.

Suitable water sources are becoming less and less, and sometimes even herbivores will bleed due to water sources.

Seeing the blood-stained puddle and the fallen elephant corpse next to him, Li Shizhen had no desire to fetch water, and the brachiosaurus group just stepped forward to drink water silently, as if they were used to all kinds of survival in their life journey. The bloody, has long been insulted. The hardship and cruelty of survival have long taught them to be calm and indifferent.

The migratory footsteps of the brachiosaurus no longer stopped excessively for water and food. It seemed that the weather also made them unbearable and eager to get rid of.

The big cat, which was too hot to sleep during the day, scratched the animal skin anxiously, and Li Shizhen didn’t stop it, probably because of the weather. The big cat’s emotions have been a bit more ups and downs recently, and he is also uncomfortably hot, at least he can pick it up. After wearing the vest, fanning the wind or something, the fur on the big cat's body, tsk tsk, it's almost, it's more painful if you want to pick it up.

After thinking about it, Li Shizhen still picked up the leaf book and fanned it in the small room, so that the big cat should not be so anxious, and his mind should be naturally cool ╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭.

Suddenly, the regular vibration of the room stopped, and the brachiosaurus rested? Li Shizhen felt a little strange, because usually the actions of the brachiosaurus were led by the tweets of the leading brachiosaurus, why didn't you hear anything today?

Feeling that the small room had dropped slightly, Li Shizhen stretched out his head and looked at it, not knowing what happened.

The big cat seemed to be attracted by the accident, and stopped squatting with the animal skin. He stretched his head out of the window, and his semi-circular ears moved, apparently curiosity reappeared.

The brachiosaurus group that was moving away in front seemed to notice the situation here, and slowly turned its long neck for ten years to look here.

The feeling of being watched by a dozen long-necked animals like this is a bit subtle. It's a bit like everyone driving in a convoy and suddenly discovering: "Huh? Why is so-and-so missing!"

Then I stopped and looked back and found out that so-and-so already %&*#!

As passengers in a certain car, cough, Li Shizhao and Baihu looked blank, obviously not knowing what happened, the feeling of being passengers never knowing the real situation of the vehicle is really not good.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and the angle of the sun didn't even change too much. Li Shizun and Bai Hu felt that the small room trembled slightly, the height rose slowly, and then they began to move forward with tremors one step at a time.

Li Zhizhen and Bai Hu looked at each other for a while, blankly for a while, then Li Zhizhen opened the curtain behind the small room, one by one at the same time poking out their heads and looking at the place where the brachiosaurus had just stopped.

Then Li Shizhao was messy again, **** it, those white and oval things in the footprints of the brachiosaurus, don't you be too familiar! Although the varieties are different, this white, oval-shaped thing!

This transport plane has been a brachiosaurus lady for a long time, and it's still a pregnant woman! Li Shizhen was deeply shocked, and felt that he seemed a little unkind. It was a bit contrary to his conscience to use pregnant women as transport workers.

On the other hand, he was really surprised at Miss Brachiosaurus' boldness and boldness, so the baby was born on the side of the road like this? Moreover, it actually lay the egg in the footprints left by the front brachiosaurus!

Tyrannosaurus still use his feet to dig a hole and pad some soft soil with hay!

Feeling that Miss Brachiosaurus continued to move forward and chased the team, the few poor baby eggs in the field of vision were indeed backing away, Li Shizhao=Shan=!

It wasn't until those small white dots disappeared from his vision that Li Shizhao came back to his senses.

This style is so unrestrained and bold... After seeing the brachiosaurus team converge and move on, none of the brachiosaurus looked at the egg behind him, I am afraid that the brachiosaurus really has no habit of taking care of the eggs!

But is it really good to give birth to the baby on the road casually and throw it on the side of the road? ! Don’t you be afraid of getting to the feet of passersby【←_←】?

Let me go, the invincible brachiosaurus with such a huge body actually grew up in a desert like this!

Although Tyrannosaurus babies have many natural enemies, at least they still love them.

Imagine that these eggs born on the road and thrown on the side of the road even if they are lucky, they will not be eaten or crushed. The temperature and humidity are suitable and they will finally turn into a dragon and out of the shell. According to the size of the egg, it is about the size of a chicken. I have to face countless predators, thinking about it, I will wipe away the tears of my heart.

It is estimated that in order to avoid being eaten, it can only grow up desperately. In order to grow up, it has to desperately search for food to eat to make its body bigger. Only by getting bigger can it be safer.

So in the course of the brachiosaurus growing up, this formula was simplified to eating = safer. So they only have food left in their dragon life, so this is true. Is the upright of eating goods?

Li Zhizong originally thought that after seeing the bold and unruly Tyrannosaurus, he should have calmed down. He didn't expect that whether it was the overlord of the carnivorous dinosaurs or the superstars of the herbivorous dinosaurs, each had its own boldness and roughness. Forgive the dinosaurs. The uninhibited love indulgence all his life...

So this is the reason why dinosaurs once ruled the earth?

The already messy Li Zhixuan calmly couldn't, but Bai Hu seemed to be bored again, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the animal skin that was tossed so badly by it. Instead, he took Li Zhixun's leaf book with interest and began to look through it. When he got up, the snow-white big plum blossom flexibly turned over the leaves, as if seeing Li Shizhen's dense arrangements and complaints could also let it pass the boring and irritating travel time.

When it turned to the topographic map page, it saw Li Shizhen’s mark, that the cutting head that indicated that they were moving only hit the first thick line, and the weather was already so hot, it couldn’t help but low. "He patted the notebook lightly, as if worrying about the next tiger career.

Then it cast its gaze on the circle marked by Li Shizhao in the north. Well, it was really good there. The aquatic plants were plentiful and there was a lot of food. There was no shortcoming except that there were more predators. It calmly ignored let Li Shizhao know this. Regarding information, he continued to cast his gaze to the far north that was not marked on the notebook.

On the way, there are still cases where the brachiosaurus ladies continue to move forward after laying eggs. Li Shizhen is accustomed to it and gradually understands: whether they eat meat or grass, they have no natural enemies, they are destined to be the most severe in reproduction by natural iron. Only in this way can we maintain the balance of the entire ecology. The fairest and the most unfair, this is really hard to tell.

It didn’t take long for the brachiosaurus to start their journey more quickly. On that day, when Li Shizun opened his eyes, a dense group of animals appeared in his sight. An illusion, this frame is almost like a famous tourist attraction during China's Golden Week. If it weren't for the different biological forms, he almost thought he had gone back to a certain scenic spot in China!

So, what is this really doing?
