Survive in the beast world

The journey on the back of the brachiosaurus was quite novel and interesting at the beginning. These big men did not travel fast, and they would stop at suitable places to rest at night.

The Brachiosaurus seemed to have finally noticed the extra man and tiger the next morning, but they just turned their long necks and stared for a moment, then slowly turned their heads back. , move on, no more representations of ==.

Li Shizhen is very satisfied with the brachiosaurus' neglect, and it is of course best to be able to be harmonious (wu) with each other (shi).They can be so friendly (dan) and kind (ding), and Li Shi reciprocates, and doesn't want to disturb their normal life.

The small room on the back of Brachiosaurus is relatively simple and has no furniture, but it is absolutely no problem for one person and one tiger to sit and lie down.Although the frequency of Brachiosaurus walking was relatively slow, the vibration was relatively large, and bumps were inevitable. Li Shizhen put thick animal skins on the floor, which could barely be regarded as earthquake-proof.

The diet is also very simple. If you want to use fire, you can’t. The furnishings here are made of bamboo and animal skins, especially animal skins. Too sensitive, if alarmed, it would be another tragedy of a stampede, and it does not conform to the principle of Li Shizhen and Brachiosaurus living in peace.

Li Shizhen finished the jerky and pancakes that he made in the past with water, and Bai Hu basically ate them with him. Speaking of which, the jerky tasted good, and Bai Hu thought it was delicious to eat as a snack.

Brachiosaurus were not moving fast, they mainly collected food on the grassland.Some small forests remained on the grassland. Although the weather was hot, the forests were still lush and lush. Whenever they passed these trees, Brachiosaurus would stop, and Li Shizhen and Baihu would also go down to solve their personal problems.

When Brachiosaurus was resting at night, Baihu would occasionally go hunting to fill his stomach.With the white tiger's living habits, dried meat and clear water are fine for a day or two. It can withstand hunger better, but after more than ten days, it still needs to go hunting and forage to eat some fresh meat.

For this reason, Li Shizhen built a thick rope ladder on the back of Brachiosaurus, so that one person and one tiger will not disturb the Brachiosaurus, especially the sharp claws of the white tiger, so there is no need to worry about scratching the Brachiosaurus' skin. How to let Brachiosaurus notice.

After all, although their reactions are very slow, if they are disturbed, they will react violently and rumble. It is also quite dangerous for a small person and a tiger standing on the ground, so you must be very careful when going down. Can return in time, and can't disturb the Brachiosaurus group.

In fact, according to the amount of vegetation where they stay, Li Shizhen can now judge the length of their stay.The most important thing in the minds of this group of foodies is probably eating. Except for the occasional stop for drinking water, their steps seem to only stay for food, so after observing several times, Li Shizhen saw the size of the vegetation. It can be roughly inferred how long the plants here are enough for them to eat, and it is probably time to leave when they are almost eaten.

There is a rope ladder. When the Brachiosaurus were drinking water, Li Shizhen would sometimes go down to fetch water and take a rest.Occasionally, when the Brachiosaurus had enough food, Li Shizhen would go hunting with the white tiger, light a fire and cook a meal or something. For those who haven't had hot food for a long time, don't miss that taste too much.

At this time, the grassland is still full of vitality. Although the drought has begun, it has not yet begun to affect the lives of most creatures. Food is still sufficient for most herbivores to survive, and they are still enjoying the last remains of the last rainy season.

Where he passed by during the day, Li Shizhen could also see many herbivorous mammals, such as wildebeests, sheep, and cattle. Li Shizhen couldn't tell the specific species clearly. They formed groups of their own, and each group occupied an area. Grasslands are scattered on the vast grasslands like gravel, grazing leisurely, and the males will fight for mates to vent their energy.

Occasionally, some herbivorous dinosaurs such as Triceratops and Roundtops can be seen wandering leisurely on the grassland with their cubs, enjoying the food.From time to time, large flying creatures flitted across the sky, aiming at the cubs of an unknown group.

From time to time, something can be seen flashing by in the grass. If you carefully distinguish it, you can see that it is a hidden predator. They generally do not move around in the hot noon, but lurk in the taller grass.When you see those scattered herbivorous animals suddenly rushing in one direction from all corners, stirring up dust flying all over the sky, you can basically know that there are predators hunting again.

Seeing dinosaurs and large mammals living under the same sky inevitably made Li Shizhen feel a little bit emotional about the ecology of this strange continent.Therefore, the advantage of a relatively high field of vision is that you can enjoy the grassland scenery to your heart's content.

At night, Li Shizhen will also open the animal skin curtain, lie in the room and look at the starry sky outside. This is the season of seldom rain, the sky is always clear, and the sky is low in the wild. People will have an illusion when lying outdoors and looking up at the starry sky. It seems as if you can hold all the stars in your arms by opening your arms.

When Li Shizhen saw those stars, he would also think of the earth and his family on the earth who did not know where he was, and fell asleep amidst the sound of insects and brachiosaurus jets.

This kind of journey is more like a sightseeing trip in modern times. I usually look at the scenery in the "car", and when I arrive at the gas station or service station, the "car" goes down to let the wind out when refueling and replenishing water. A restroom or something, some activities to relax body and mind.

The white tiger's work and rest is completely opposite to that of Li Shizhen. It sometimes goes hunting at night, and sleeps lazily in a small room during the day. Sometimes it rests so comfortably that it sleeps in a supine position. Huh, the two big plum blossoms on the front paws are curled up on the chest, and the white belly rises and falls, like a big lazy cat.

Seeing Li Shizhen couldn't help laughing, his hands were itchy, and he really wanted to scratch its white belly.

If it doesn't go out at night, it will lazily lie in the room and look out during the day, but those novel and interesting scenes for Li Shizhen will only make him drowsy. Only when Brachiosaurus stays, the white tiger With a sudden vigor, he bowed his head to Li Shizhen, trying to encourage him to go hunting and cooking.

At this time, Li Shizhen can only sigh. If conditions are not allowed, he can only use some jerky candies to appease the big cat. After all, it is difficult for a "wild animal" to travel like a human. Quite aggrieved it.

In short, the beginning of migration is indeed more like long-distance travel than survival.

This relaxed rhythm allowed one person and one tiger to quickly adapt to life on the back of Brachiosaurus within ten days.

On this day, they finally reached the river.

If I'm not mistaken, this river should be the one he can often see in the jungle.

It was early in the morning at this time, and I realized how magnificent the river was when I watched it at a close distance. At least the river surface was seven or eight meters wide, reflecting the sparkling light. There were many animals drinking water on both sides of the river, such as the larger Dome Dragon and Triceratops. , elephants, smaller flocks of sheep, wildebeest and even zebras, and many water birds with bright feathers are wandering on the wet shoals on the river bank.

When he got close to the river, Li Shizhen was even more shocked to find that there were still wet marks of erosion on the bare soil of at least one meter on the edge of the river bed. The marks were like the appearance of the seaside after the tide ebbed, but it happened in the inland river. Obviously, the entire river is already slowly descending.

It is not difficult for him to imagine how wide and turbulent this river must be during the rainy season. The river is at least ten meters wide across the entire grassland, attracting countless herbivores and predators, and nourishing the boundless grassland along the coast.

The white tiger probably also heard the sound of running water. It ravaged its eyes, yawned, turned over, stretched its body back and forth, rolled half a dozen times and got up lazily, squatting next to Li Shizhen and squinting its eyes towards Looking out.

After Li Shizhen noticed that it was up, he turned his head to confirm the location of the river with it, to see if it was the one near the jungle, and the white tiger gave an affirmative answer.

Li Shizhen took out his leaf book and drew a mark on the rough version of the migration topographic map he had copied before. He carefully looked at the three thicker lines on it. The mark he just drew was on the southernmost curve.

From this point of view, the migration process of brachiosaurs is indeed not fast, which is probably related to the fact that most of them were traveling in a roundabout way to find food before. Perhaps it is because the dry season has just begun, and brachiosaurs are not so eager to find food?

The sun is still early at this time, and most of the water drinkers are herbivores. You must know that the weather is hot now, and animals have a large demand for water, and the evaporation of the river is also large, but there is not enough precipitation to replenish the water source. , the river level naturally dropped, and as the dry season progressed, this wide river would inevitably dry up at the worst time.

The arrival of the brachiosaurus team made many animals get out of the way one after another, startling countless waterfowl.The Brachiosaurus first stopped by the river, slowly stretched their necks and bent down to drink some water, and then slowly walked towards the water amidst the long cry of the leading Brachiosaurus.

After Li Shizhen put away his notebook, he was a little worried. He didn't know if the depth of the river would submerge the back of Brachiosaurus and wet the supplies. It is too reluctant.

Fortunately, with the brachiosaurus wading, Li Shizhen gradually let go of this concern. The deepest part of the river is also two or three meters away from the highest point of the brachiosaurus' back. The water never really wet their things.

Li Shixuan thought that he didn't go down to fetch water just now because he was worried that there would be powerful predators by the water's edge. If he missed this river, he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to encounter such a large water source.

With an idea, he found the two bamboo buckets he used to fetch water, tied them with a long animal skin, and gently threw the mouth of the buckets down to the surface of the water not far away, shaking them vigorously as if fetching water in a well. He pulled up the bamboo bucket with a leather rope, and it really filled him with half a bucket of water.

Baihu couldn't help stretching his neck when he saw it, and continued to watch Li Shizhen fetching water.

Li Shizhen threw the second bamboo bucket a little further, but he only hit half of the bucket just now because he was thrown too close.The bamboo barrel tied with animal skins made a water mark on the sparkling calm water, like a small round boat breaking through the water.

When it was about to reach the distance that could be pulled up, a streamlined body with a length of three to four meters suddenly jumped up from the water surface. Under the sun, it reflected the dazzling water light like an elegant arc, and the water surface seemed to be smashed suddenly by a powerful force. The mirror in the mirror was aroused by a violent splashing sound, and countless water splashes flew up.

When the thing returned to the water again, the end of the animal skin that Li Shizhen pulled up was empty, leaving only a section of the animal skin that looked like it had been sawed off by something sharp.

Looking at the calm again, with a few pieces of bamboo floating and reflecting the sparkling water, Li Shixuan couldn't help shivering.

He clearly knew that the arc just now was just a part of the streamlined body of some kind of large underwater carnivore. Judging from its part above the water, the underwater did not know its true size. On a flat section, the teeth must be as fine and sharp as sawtooth.Moreover, he looked at the barrel with a diameter of almost half a meter next to him, something that could crush this bamboo barrel in one bite...

If it wasn't on the back of the brachiosaurus, he and the white tiger would have crossed the river directly. Even with the strength of the white tiger, if he encountered such a thing, he might not be spared. He didn't expect that when he was about to leave the grassland, he would also see this unknown water. Down overlord.

The white tiger stretched out its head and sniffed, then sneezed, as if it didn't know what kind of creature it was.Probably the last time it came to this river, the current was shallower, this large underwater creature had migrated, or it was lucky not to encounter it.

But today's encounter reminded Li Shizhen that the back of Brachiosaurus is not 100% safe, especially at the water's edge, they may have to cheer up for the rest of the journey——

The broken wooden barrel that day seemed to be a bad omen. In the next few days, Li Shizhen discovered in his daily observations that there were some small black dots dotted far away on the grassland, which were too far away for him to see clearly. What kind of animal is that, but he knows that the dry season has really come, and animals have already started to join in, and he is afraid that this team will become bigger and bigger in the future.

When the grassland gradually changed from green to yellow-green, and the moss and vines on the trunks of the big trees in the jungle gradually turned yellow, the Brachiosaurus no longer spent a lot of time on the edge of the small forest, but began to slowly and firmly has been migrating northward.

The food intake of Brachiosaurus is almost the largest among all herbivores. When other animals can barely eat enough food from the grassland, they already need to trek for a long time to fill their stomachs. Once they notice the drastic changes in the surrounding environment, the grassland can no longer When providing sufficient food, these seemingly dull creatures gave the fastest response among all creatures. They have reduced their stay on the road and resolutely started migrating.

So they were also the first batch to go, and those long stays before were making final reserves for the entire arduous journey.

And the animals following behind were probably some larger herbivores that were not as big as Brachiosaurus. They probably also sensed the crisis from the surrounding food supply and joined the team from afar.

Li Shizhen and Baihu can no longer go down frequently during the day to relax or cook a meal as before. Their life rhythm has become tense, and they try to solve the problems that need to be solved at night , and now it is becoming more and more unsafe at night, probably because of the movements of herbivores, and the presence of predators is becoming more and more frequent.

Therefore, during nighttime activities, Li Shizhen had to carry backpacks on both him and Baihu, with necessities in them, and he himself carried all kinds of weapons on his body in case of accidents.

And the water sources that they and the Brachiosaurus team can encounter are becoming more and more limited, which makes Li Shizhen have to seize every opportunity to collect and save clean water as much as possible.

All kinds of urgent signals made Li Shizhen finally realize that he and the white tiger had embarked on the dry season migration road, this migration road of countless life cycles.

And the front does not know what challenges are waiting for them.
