On killing the protagonist

The high-pitched voice woke everyone up, and everyone in the factory took up their weapons and rushed out.

"What's going on?" Wan Ke shouted in a panic while putting on his coat, "What's calling?"

At this time, there was another howl from a distance, and Ye Hanjiang found a commanding height and climbed up. When he found that there was movement on the farthest beach and the center of the island, he suddenly understood. It seems that this time the monster is no longer limited to Not in one place, but on the entire island.

He carefully distinguished the howling sound, and then jumped off the watchtower.

Everyone gathered around, discussing who is the owner of the howling sound?

"Could it be a dinosaur?" Xiaojie asked whimsically.

Leaning on the railing, Ye Hanjiang denied his guess: "It shouldn't be a dinosaur. Although the roar sounds very similar, the biological resources of this small island cannot support the entire biological chain of dinosaurs."

"It's not a dinosaur, what is that?" Xiaojie asked curiously.

Ye Hanjiang touched his head with a smile, and thoughtfully said: "I don't know, but what is certain is that it must be a big guy."

At this time, Zhang Li and Ye Qiu who went to investigate also came back.

Wan Ke hurriedly went up to him and asked, "What's the situation?"

Ye Qiu signaled everyone to take cover first, and then whispered: "There is a group of small lizards in front, about one meter high, they killed another lizard that was a little bigger than them, and then threw it in the middle of the woods .”

Zhang Li added from the side: "The group of lizards looked a bit like velociraptors in appearance. We were worried about being discovered, so we withdrew them first, and we didn't have time to check how many there were."

Ye Qiu followed up and said: "And they seem to know how to hide their bodies. I took a look and found them in the woods and on the trees. If you don't look carefully, you can easily ignore them.

Ye Hanjiang frowned when he heard the words, and he whispered: "We are bringing women and children with us, it is not suitable for encounters, we have to find a way to avoid them."

Gu Qinuo said solemnly: "The trouble is that we don't know how many of them there are. If there are traces of them on the whole island, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to avoid them."

While speaking, another high-pitched howl sounded, but compared to the previous slightly immature howl, this one was obviously much more majestic and powerful.

The moment Ye Hanjiang heard the howling sound, his face suddenly became ugly: "It's a monitor lizard, about 500 meters behind us."

Ye Qiu couldn't help cursing: "Damn it, these two groups of animals don't want to fight, do they?"

Zhang Li frowned: "Let's go quickly! It will be troublesome if they get stuck in the middle..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly cried out in pain: "Ouch, my hair!"

After shouting, she turned her head and glared at Gu Qinuo: "What are you doing, dumb?"

Gu Qinuo ignored him and raised his hair in the air. After taking a look, he said decisively: "Everyone go into the forest and climb up the tree. This is the downwind. I hope they won't find you."

Everyone rushed into the woods as fast as they could, and climbed up the tree.

Zhang Li took out a tablet-shaped thing from his backpack, fiddled with it twice, and then said to everyone: "According to the radar, there is an object rushing forward at a very fast speed behind our left side, but it is strange. The amazing thing is, where we just found the little lizard, there is no moving object now."

Ye Qiu took a look and wondered, "Why not? We've seen it before?"

Gu Qinuo explained: "The dynamic capture radar can only capture moving objects, and there is no movement in front, which means that those little lizards are currently in a static state."

While talking, there was a sound of trees snapping from far to near, and quickly passed Ye Hanjiang and the others and moved forward.

The more Ye Hanjiang thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "Third brother, how far are those little lizards from us?"

"About 500 meters! What's wrong?"

Ye Hanjiang didn't answer, he tilted his head and said to Wan Ke: "You and Mi Ping stay here to protect Li Yi and the others. I'll take the others to have a look."

Wan Ke nodded in response, and did not forget to tell him: "Be careful."

The four got off the tree, led by Zhang Li, followed by Gu Qinuo, and walked along the road that Ye Qiu and the others had explored before. When they were 800 meters away from the center, Ye Hanjiang stopped the other three and found a tree on the spot. The tallest tree climbed up.

Zhang Li took out his self-made binoculars, and quickly began to report: "The distance from the target is about 850 meters, and the coordinates are 052 and 322, which is the big lizard that was killed just now."

Ye Hanjiang looked forward along the coordinates he reported, and he found a large lizard lying on the ground, with a narrow and long head, about one meter in length, covered with black scales, and black and white rings on both sides. pattern.

With just one glance, Ye Hanjiang recognized the lizard that was killed, and hurriedly reminded the other three people: "The one that was killed should be a baby monitor lizard."

Ye Qiu looked at the monitor lizard that looked very similar to its cub, and gasped, "That can't be its cub, right?"

Zhang Li clapped his palms, and suddenly realized: "I understand, those little lizards killed the cubs and refused to eat them, and deliberately threw it into the open area, just to attract its mother to appear."

Ye Hanjiang shook his head and denied, "The cub is a monitor lizard cub, but it may not belong to it."

Before the words were finished, the giant lizard opened its mouth wide, bit off half of the cub's body in one bite, and then swallowed it with its head raised.

Ye Qiu couldn't bear it: "What kind of monster is this? It also eats the same kind."

Ye Hanjiang said indifferently: "Monitor lizards will prey on their own cubs, so it's not surprising that they would do this."

While speaking, he had already discovered the little lizards that Ye Qiu and the others were talking about, and they were hiding in the tree next to the giant lizard.

From the outside, they don't look like velociraptors, but are very similar to extinct lizards. The only difference is that lizards are reptiles, while these small lizards walk upright.

But why leave the dead pups in plain sight?This is not in line with normal hunting behavior, is it?

Suspicion flashed in Ye Hanjiang's mind, he reached out and took the binoculars from Zhang Li, and began to carefully observe the little lizard on the tree.

As the focal length continued to zoom in, the entire head of the lizard also appeared in front of Ye Hanjiang. When the eyes swept across the eyes of the little lizard, a sly light flashed in the pair of golden pupils.

That's right, it's cunning!

Those eyes were cold, sharp, and steady, as if an experienced hunter was quietly lurking in the trees, always ready to deliver a fatal blow to the prey.

Ye Hanjiang was startled secretly, and he began to move his eyes to the nearby big trees. Soon, more small lizards appeared in the telescope. They relaxed their limbs, clinging to the tree trunk, and stared at the monitor lizard in the middle with steady breathing.

What shocked Ye Hanjiang even more was that these small lizards were distributed in pockets along the cubs on the ground, and like them, they were all in the downwind direction of the cubs.

He reacted almost instantly, and exclaimed in a low voice: "This is a well-designed ambush!"

"What ambush?" Zhang Li asked curiously.

Ye Hanjiang told them what he had just discovered, and immediately aroused doubts: "Impossible? Can these lizards have such a smart IQ?"

While the four were talking, the little lizards finally moved. They jumped down from the tree, waved their sharp front claws, and attacked the monitor lizard.

The giant lizard quickly swung its tail and started to fight back, but it was a pity that it had a huge body and moved very slowly.

But those small lizards are different. Their strong hind limbs allow them to jump from the ground easily, and the sharp claws on their stubby forelimbs can give the monitor lizard enough threatening attacks.

It raised its head and swayed from side to side, trying to avoid the attack, but was still left with huge wounds on its body by those little lizards.

The war finally ended with the victory of the little lizards. When most of the little lizards retreated, Ye Hanjiang signaled Zhang Li to throw bombs to drive away all the little lizards that were still hovering around the corpse of the monitor lizards.

After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, they went down the tree and came to the monitor lizard's corpse.

Ye Hanjiang beckoned Gu Qinuo to come over, reached out and tapped somewhere on the giant lizard's jaw, and asked him to cut the outer layer of hard skin according to his requirements.

He opened the incision, and used a dagger to carve out a piece of fleshy bone from a pile of flesh.

The bone is sharp at both ends and swollen in the middle, which looks a bit like a musical instrument called cucurbit silk.

"What is this?" Ye Qiu curiously leaned over.

Ye Hanjiang wiped the blood from his hands, and replied flatly: "Voice bone, also called vocal cavity"

Zhang Li took the bone and looked left and right: "Voice cavity? What is it for?"

Ye Hanjiang replied: "This is the position where the monitor lizard makes its sound. As long as you play it properly, you should be able to make the roar of the monitor lizard."

He wrapped the bone in a white cloth and threw it to Gu Qinuo: "When encountering other creatures attacking, blowing on this thing can confuse the enemy and buy us a little time to escape."

Then he turned to the other side of the monitor lizard, stretched out his hand to press around its head, and then pointed to the place a little behind the head: "Arnold, cut here, and be careful not to let the blood flow into the groove. "

Gu Qinuo changed the dagger, carefully cut a round hole, lifted the flesh, and there was a groove about the size of a fist at the bottom. The other two came forward to take a look, and found a pool of liquid inside. , it looks quite clear.

This time Ye Hanjiang was much more careful. He took out a pair of surgical plastic gloves from his backpack, and after putting them on, he took out a glass bottle five centimeters high, and transferred all the liquid in the groove into it.

Seeing him transferring these liquids like transferring gold, Ye Qiu was puzzled, "What is this?"

Ye Hanjiang raised his head and stared at the small glass bottle quietly, without answering his question, he only said: "It's a very dangerous thing."

At this moment, a horn-like sound came from the forest behind, and the walkie-talkies carried by the four of Ye Hanjiang also rang.

Amidst the clutter of electrical currents, a desperate cry for help came out: "There is...a sneak attack...help..."
