Chapter 97 The Law of the Jungle (8)

On the gloomy sky, the rain continued, rushing and washing the ground.

Standing on the water-soaked land, Lu Fengdeng watched as the yellow sand that filled the sky had gradually turned into sandy soil under the action of rain and plants.

Finally, Zhu Yuanguang, the last team member, climbed up from the rolling sand slope with the help of the people in front.

Kang Yu, who was sent up first, looked back at the pit where they stayed before, and the look on his face was shocked but also tinged with gratitude: "My God, fortunately we came out in time."

Others followed his gaze, and saw that with the continuous rainfall, the water level of the originally mirror-like lake gradually rose, not only engulfing the surrounding oases, but now it has begun to move towards the edge of the crater .

It seems that this pit will become a lake sooner or later.

They migrated with the water dragons, so not only did they get out of the pit, but the water dragons were also working hard to get out of the pit.

Although the rain has washed away the original sand-cast slope, the composition of the soil slope underfoot is still gritty, muddy and squishy land.Lu Fengdeng and the others were able to save everyone and send them up through the strength of their hands and feet, the assistance of tools and the wisdom of unity and cooperation, but the water dragon beast could not.

Their hooves and claws are not soft and not very wide. They are not as stable as camels in the desert, but closer to horses, and they are easy to get stuck in quicksand and muddy roads.

Therefore, their climbing is very difficult, and their limbs and torso are not as flexible as human beings. Their limbs cannot be stretched, their waists cannot be twisted, their hooves and claws cannot be grasped, and they do not know how to use tools. .

In the end, only four or five of the first group of water dragon beasts climbed out of the gentle slope by stepping on the heads of other companions, or having other great luck.The other water dragons were either howling and dragged into the water by the alligator who had been waiting in the water for a long time, or fell back into the pit that had become a shallow water beach, and finally could not escape the fate of being eaten by predators in the water.

The water dragon beasts who successfully landed did not notice the tragic experience of their companions at all, nor did they seem to hear the wailing in the pit.Except for a little water dragon that was desperately offered up by its mother, it wailed at the bottom of the pit, the other water dragons didn't even look at it, just shook the sand and mud covered on their bodies, and continued walking in the rain. go forward.

Lu Fengdeng and his party quickly followed.

Kang Yu looked at the little water dragon beast that was still on the gentle slope and yelling into the pit, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and couldn't help but look back twice.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Zhenhua at the side stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said in relief, "Don't look at it, it's a normal phenomenon among animals. If you look at it again, it won't live long."

Having said that, he looked at the water dragon beasts that instinctively walked in groups ahead: "Not only the little one just now, but the ones in front of them won't live long."

Kang Yu was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Cheng, what do you mean?"

Although he occasionally has some untimely sympathy, it is not overflowing with sympathy. The saint mother and daughter who want to be generous to others were only a little moved by the love between the animals before.

Seeing that something else seemed to be happening now, Kang Yu's sympathy immediately flew to the sky, thinking about their situation.

Cheng Zhenhua's words also attracted the attention of others.

Ling Li, Zhu Yuanguang and Gu Xuezhong all had curious expressions on their faces, but Lu Fengdeng's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this long ago.

Cheng Zhenhua said: "Look at these newly grown trees on the ground."

The others immediately went to see it.

These trees grow extremely fast, faster than half-sized children can grow a head in a day, but in just one night, they almost reached the height of a person.Among them, Ling Li was the shortest, about 1.6 meters tall. More than half of these newly grown trees had grown to the top of her head, with dark green needles sticking out, like a small umbrella.

Kang Yu looked at it for a long time, only to see that there seemed to be many trees with the shadow of pines, cypresses and cycads, but he couldn't recognize the others. He only knew that the leaves of these trees were mostly needles, or they were made of needles. The leaves form a large leaf.

He scratched his head: "They are all gymnosperms? I remember Brother Lu said that there are no angiosperms at the moment, and no one is blooming. They are all green and nothing to see."

Cheng Zhenhua was speechless: "Why do you only remember gymnosperms, but you can't see how tall these trees have grown?!"

"The plants of gymnosperms are mostly trees, and they will grow very tall in the future. Even ferns will have a certain height from the ground. Have you seen the height of these water dragons? See where their heads grow ?"

When Kang Yu heard this sentence, he observed it carefully, and suddenly felt blessed: "Uncle Cheng means that the vegetation on the ground has changed, the plants have grown taller, and the leaves are also at high places. The height and the position of the head, the water dragon beast can't reach the leaves? So they have nothing to eat, and are they going to starve to death?"

Cheng Zhenhua showed a look of "children can be taught", and then said: "That's it. Not only water dragons, but after the Carnian flood event, because plants generally grew tall, many of them were not tall enough. Herbivorous animals that were not flexible enough went extinct. Of course, the carnivorous animals that ate these herbivorous animals became extinct soon."

When Kang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but said: "So many animals are extinct so soon, so we will be safer?"

"Theoretically speaking," Lu Fengdeng, who was at the forefront, answered him this time. "After the mass extinction, many ecological niches will be vacated. Under the same conditions, there will be few competitors, and there may be few predators in the upper reaches of the food chain. As long as you If there is enough food, it will be easier to survive."

Kang Yu looked happy.

They are human beings, the future overlords of the earth, possessing the most advanced evolution mechanism, and they are also omnivorous animals. As long as they carefully avoid powerful predators and don't pick anything about what they eat, their chances of survival will increase a lot, right?

However, Lu Fengdeng quickly shattered his fantasy: "But this is in the system copy, and it must be different from the real Triassic. Especially this rain came so fast, and the trees here grow so fast, it is very interesting. Maybe in the copy, the entire Triassic is accelerating. Then things will only come faster."

Gu Xuezhong, who was on the side, had been listening to their conversation carefully, and couldn't help but ask now: "What happens next?"

He only had a rough understanding of this knowledge, which was far less clear than that of Lu Fengdeng. After all, there was a lot of knowledge that might or might not be useful in his mind.

Lu Fengdeng said: "The Carnian period is just a time period in the Triassic period. After the Carnian period, there will be forest fires for tens of thousands of years, droughts for tens of thousands of years, and a new round of collective volcanic eruptions."

Speaking of this, amidst the astonishment or solemn expressions of the people behind him, his expression was extraordinarily calm: "If time really speeds up very fast, if we can survive the volcanic eruption that wiped out countless creatures at the end of the Triassic, maybe We will be fortunate to experience the peak era of the overlord who has ruled the earth for more than 1 million years."

"Era of dinosaurs."

……

Lu Fengdeng and his team followed the water dragon beasts in front of them through the previous desert, through the growing forest, and finally arrived at their desired destination - the breeding ground of most water dragon beasts in the past.

Similar to what Cheng Zhenhua said, the water dragon beasts here are almost extinct.

Water dragons belong to mammals, warm-blooded animals with fluff on the body surface, and herbivorous animals. They are originally more suitable for living in vegetation areas with a wetter and milder climate than deserts.It's just because the whole earth was very dry before, there were not many vegetation areas, fewer forests, and relatively more grasslands, so the water dragons reproduced well.

But now that the rainfall has increased sharply, a large area of ​​forest has rapidly developed, and the low grassland and other vegetation are quickly deprived of living space. The water dragon beasts living here are naturally the first to bear the brunt and become extinct first.

On the contrary, the water dragon beasts that Lu Fengdeng and the others encountered in the oasis, because they traveled from the area that originally belonged to the desert, they also ate a few mouthfuls of grass during the period, and they have survived until now.

According to the speculation of modern scientists, the water dragon may dig a cave for itself, or choose a tree cave to live in a rock cave.This is also the reason why Lu Fengdeng chose to migrate with them. Now there is no trace of the water dragon in the jungle, but there are still caves left.

With caves, they can get a relatively dry place to rest and live in the rainy days, and get rid of the life of being outside in the rain all the time.

This road followed the migration of water dragon beasts. They had been walking for a day and a night, and they only took a short rest during the period. It was difficult to find a dry place to lie down.

Lu Fengdeng's complexion was the same as before, but the faces of the others were more or less tired.

They need to rest.

The terrain here seems to be relying on a mountain range, and the six people quickly found several tree holes and caves in the jungle and the mountain.After discussion, they chose the cave on the mountainside.

The position is high, waterproof, and the space inside is still large, and you can lie in it after tidying up.

It is the most ideal place to live.

But when everyone was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Lu Fengdeng suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The tree shakes.

A sharp sound of wind suddenly struck across the shadows of trees.

The crisis alarm sounded suddenly.

Without hesitation, Lu Fengdeng struck very quickly, pushing the person beside him out, and then quickly dodged sideways by himself.

Following the surprised shouts from the front and back, a swirling wind blade like a knife came straight, and finally landed on the top of the cave, submerged among the plants on the mountain.

And on Lu Fengdeng's face, a small cut was made.

A line of blood seeped out slowly.
