You can evolve by surviving in the Ark

The Emperor Crocodile in front opened its huge mouth full of fangs and was about to bite Jue Niang head-on.

But at this moment, a velociraptor stepped on the backs of several emperor crocodiles, rushed towards it, and bit the emperor crocodile's back neck, causing it to roar violently in pain. It twisted and struggled, turning its head to bite behind it.

Compared to the agile Velociraptor, Sarcosuchus was relatively clumsy. Although they are powerful, they are reptiles after all. There are a lot of blind spots on their backs and rears, and their physiological structure also determines that they turn relatively slowly on land.

When Emperor Crocodile opened its mouth to bite, Li Hongying had already used the Velociraptor on her crotch to avoid it. However, even though the movements of the Emperor Crocodile were relatively slow, she was facing more than just one Emperor Crocodile at this moment. Several crocodiles launched an attack from the bottom up, and Li Hongying and the raptor she was riding were immediately in danger.

But soon, more raptors join the fight.

When Li Hongying rode the Velociraptor and rushed toward the Emperor Crocodile, Qiao Liang just sighed. He ordered a velociraptor to Tuotuo's side, and then led the remaining velociraptors in hot pursuit of Li Hongying.

Due to the disparity in body size, even though Jue Niang was surrounded by people, there were only four Emperor Crocodiles - to be precise, there were only three alive now. More Emperor Crocodiles were just crowded in the back, and no matter how hard they tried, there was no room to move forward.

Qiao Liang controlled the Velociraptor and tore open the giant snout of the crocodile that had been reduced to a corpse but still tightly clamped down on Jue Ni's calf. At the same time, the two velociraptors also launched attacks on the other two crocodiles that were biting the Jue Ni.

The Emperor Crocodile, whose back was attacked, roared, and the sound they made was as harsh as an engine running at full power. They all let go of Jue Ni, turning their heads to bite the Velociraptor on their back.

Although the attack of Emperor Crocodile is relatively slow, there are simply too many of them. It's okay to have a velociraptor with a rider. Humans are always paying attention to the attacks of Emperor Crocodile and can control the velociraptor to avoid them. The other two velociraptors relied on their own instincts to fight, and were soon dragged to the ground, their heads dismembered in the bite of the crocodiles.

The dragon's blood spilled out, stimulating the group of emperor crocodiles to stir. They scrambled towards the two raptor corpses. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Liang and Li Hongying had already driven their mounts to Jue Niang's side.

Jue Nieng also got up. At this time, there was only one emperor crocodile left that was still biting it. It roared and bit it, while Qiao Liang and Li Hongying also pounced on it on their mounts.

The horn on the back of this crocodile was broken open, and the bloody wound made it scream in agony. But that was enough. Taking advantage of the moment when it opened its mouth, Jue Niang raised his leg and kicked off its clamp.

All around, most of the emperor crocodiles were fighting for the carcasses of the two raptors. Qiao Liang and Hongying each rode a velociraptor to help it share the pressure from the attacks from the emperor crocodile group. And in this situation, Jue Ni actually struggled to stand up and stumbled out.

No one had any intention of fighting and immediately chose to evacuate. A small number of Emperor Crocodiles still wanted to chase, and the three relied on the mobility of the Velociraptors to distance themselves and shoot them back with crossbows.

With the size of Emperor Crocodile, fighting on land requires too much energy. The most suitable hunting method for them is to hide in the water, wait patiently for the prey to pass by, and launch a fatal blow with the force of thunder.

However, the density of predators in the entire Arkworld is too high, and supervisors have macro-control to prevent the ecological cycle from collapsing. With this wait-and-see hunting method alone, Emperor Crocodile could only starve to death. If not, they would not have pursued it to this point.

……

Sunset, west.

The three riders moved forward slowly in the darkening sky, stopping and stopping from time to time.

Not far behind them, Jue Niang stumbled behind them. It limped and often fell to the ground, but soon it got up hard and stubbornly. Under its body, the blood that fell as it advanced formed a straight line.

Its bloody body naturally attracted the covetousness of some carnivorous dinosaurs, but fortunately, no large carnivorous dinosaurs were encountered. The three of them had no intention of giving up on it, so they naturally surrounded it and fought to repel the carnivorous dragon one after another.

It wasn't until the setting sun shed its last rays of light and sank into the dark sea that they finally got rid of all pursuit and returned to the raft.

Jue Niang finally exhausted all her strength and completely lay down on the raft, unable to get up.

At the beginning, Jue Niang walked slowly and hard, and everyone thought it was seriously injured and waited patiently, but they did not expect it to be so seriously injured.

Needless to say, it was covered in shocking blood. The bones of its left leg had been broken into several pieces, and it was unbelievable that it could still serve as a support. The bones of its right leg were broken into a Z shape, and the sharp bone section even The superficial skin was pierced due to the violent action.

What kind of tenacity and bravery did this velociraptor have to keep walking like this for several hours?

Li Hongying took out medicinal wine to treat the Velociraptor's injuries, but turned a deaf ear to Qiao Liang's words, "That's useless against dinosaurs." She didn't say a word, her whole figure was like ice that would never melt, exuding a coldness that kept strangers away from her.

Tuo Tuo sat in the corner tremblingly. She looked at Li Hongying, but Li Hongying didn't look at her from beginning to end. Tuotuo knew that this did not reach the level of disgust. It was just that Li Hongying was angry with her and Qiao Liang.

But the relationship between the two eventually developed a rift. But fortunately, Jue Niang is not dead, and there is still room for change in all this.

Tuotuo thought that when Jue Nieng's injury got better and Sister Hongying's anger subsided, she would have to apologize properly.

But... she watched Li Hongying try hard to bend the leg back to its normal shape and use wooden boards and leather to fix it. It's a good idea, but it's very difficult to implement.

According to common sense, Jue Niang should only end up with a disability, Tuo Tuo thought silently. One of the two dead raptors had her chin stroked when she went out in the morning. At that time, she was still thinking about choosing a name, but in the end she didn't choose one.

It's still dead.

Why did she shoot that arrow? Tuotuo felt sad and kept blaming herself, feeling deeply sad and sorry for the sacrifice of the two raptors. She looked at the damaged crossbow in her hand. The crossbow bed was completely cracked.

This crossbow was not properly repaired after Tudou died, so she did not contribute much output in the subsequent battles. The crossbow broke after just a few arrows were fired.

The three of them were very tired and no one spoke. In such silence, the raft moved forward on the dark sea.

……

When we returned to Crescent Bay, it was already late at night.

Tuotuo huddled up in the sleeping bag in her room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The sound insulation of the thatched house was quite average. Faintly, she heard the quarrel between Qiao Liang and Li Hongying. It was said to be a quarrel, but in fact it was mainly Li Hongying's voice. As for the content... you don't need to listen to know it.

Tuotuo couldn't sleep anyway, so he took out the damaged crossbow and looked at it, and decided not to sleep at all and repair it. However, as soon as she got up, she heard a knock on the door.

Opening the door, it was Qiao Liang.

Tuotuo felt nervous, what was he doing?

Late at night, a man knocked on the door of a beautiful girl, what else could it be for.

Tuotuo had actually expected this kind of thing before, but because Li Hongying was protecting her, she didn't care too much. She had every right to refuse.

But does she still have such rights now?

Ideally, after she says no, the man leaves. But if he wants to use force, what will she do? Of course Li Hongying would stop him if he shouted, but what next?

Tuo Tuo can see Li Hongying's feelings for Qiao Liang. If Qiao Liang really showed his intentions for him in front of Hongying... Growing up in a different cultural background, Tuotuo couldn't guess the depth of this relationship, but the original sin of human nature, jealousy, is always universal.

Moreover, Jue Nieng was injured by her again today, and the two raptors also paid for her mistake with their lives. It's impossible to think of how Li Hongying would view herself, and it would probably increase her favorability.

Yes, no wonder he came tonight. She has proven that she can only be a hindrance and has no effect at all. In his eyes, he probably only has this value left.

In the past, when she read novels and watched TV dramas, what she hated the most was the kind of useless characters who would only hold things back. Now it seems that it is actually herself.

At least, the man in front of me seems to be responsible and obedient, maybe...maybe...

Tuotuo pinned his hands behind his back, his fingers turned white, and his body trembled in the fierce ideological struggle.

How would he start? First scold her severely...and then...

……

Qiao Liang looked at Tuo Tuo, feeling a little strange.

The cold moonlight shone on the girl's face, depicting a beautiful outline. She was still expressionless, but her body was shaking, and Qiao Liang always felt that she was going to cry.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Liang felt that he already understood it. After all, Tuotuo must have felt uncomfortable when something like this happened, and it was reasonable to be afraid of his own scolding.

There is always a process for people to grow up. Being too harsh will have no effect. Thinking of this, he deleted the heavy words from the original manuscript.

Seeing her standing at the door, Qiao Liang suddenly realized that it was not good to go in so late. When he came over to Li Hongying just now, he just felt that he wanted to warn her, but he didn't think carefully about it.

But since I knocked on the door, so be it. Anyway, it’s just a few words, just stand at the door and finish them.

"Tuotuo, what do you think? What are we doing?"

Qiao Liang spoke softly, but the sound made Tuotuo tremble hard. His back was facing the moonlight, and from Tuotuo's perspective, his face was dark and a little scary.

"We...we..."

The sound was as small as a mosquito.

"We are looking for a way home." Qiao Liang's voice came.

"Actually, you know how dangerous it is for us to survive in such a world. There are too many things in this world that can easily kill us."

"However, fighting them is not our intention. We just want to go home and do it as a last resort. If there is a way to go back without taking risks, we will do it."

"Today, if you want to shoot those pigs and crocodiles, you may be thinking that they are our enemies. But they are not. There is no point in hurting them. We just want to go home."

Tuotuo looked at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang's tone could be described as gentle and thoughtful. It seemed that the gray clouds blocking the moonlight had been blown away, and Tuo Tuo could see Qiao Liang's expression clearly, without any obscene expression. She realized something, and the random thoughts in her head and the trembling in her body gradually disappeared.

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. At least, we got the materials and everyone is fine. It's a pity that two raptors died, but it will be better if they can be tamed again."

Qiao Liang didn't notice anything strange about Tuo Tuo and continued.

"Don't make this mistake again, okay?"

"it is good……"

Seeing Tuo Tuo's well-behaved appearance, Qiao Liang couldn't help but reach out his hand and want to touch her head. When Tuotuo saw him reaching out, her whole body tensed up, but she didn't dodge, letting his palm cover her messy blond hair.

"Go to bed early. It's late and you're tired."

Qiao Liang gently stroked it twice before retracting his hand and continued, "Two raptors died, so I have to catch more to replenish them. Tomorrow I have to go to the Hunter Artifact Cave to mine resources, and I will tame a dung beetle. Come on... Hongying is angry, do you want to come with her?"

"Are you still taking me with you?" Tuotuo opened his eyes wide.

"Come if you want." Qiao Liang smiled and added, "You have to be obedient."

"it is good!"

……

The door closed slowly. With overflowing thoughts, Tuo Tuo climbed into his sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, there were potatoes, leeches, pig crocodiles, emperor crocodiles, the two dead raptors, and her helplessness.

The thought of lacking a sense of security is due to weakness, so everything is at war.
