It rained continuously all night, and the amount of rainfall it brought was not small. In the virgin forest, whether it was lakes, rivers, or streams, the water levels had skyrocketed. Even the water area seemed to have expanded.
Quite a few.
Many places where there were no rivers or lakes were filled with puddles due to the heavy rain all night.
These puddles may be deep or submerged, but they are all hidden under the lush grass. Only by observing with your eyes, you cannot see what is under the puddles, whether they are deep or submerged, and whether there are any hidden dangers.
.
Due to threats and helplessness, Song Shuai had no choice but to walk at the front of the entire team.
He held the machete given to him by Wang Wutian tightly in his right hand. He moved forward cautiously, looking around, kicking deep and shallow. From time to time, he would slip to the ground and be covered in mud and water.
On his waist, there is also a dark green vine that is as thick as an adult's thumb and is extremely flexible and strong in texture.
The other end of the vine was held by Wang Wutian's left hand, who was following Song Shuai, and was used as a safety rope. In times of crisis, Song Shuai, the pathfinder cannon fodder, could be dragged back in time to avoid real death.
After all, there are not many people left now, so we can save cannon fodder if we can.
Song Shuai, who was looking around and moving forward carefully, stepped on a seemingly ordinary small puddle. Suddenly, the whole person disappeared with a "pop", leaving only the water in that small puddle.
The muddy water was rippling and rolling.
There are many bubbles popping up on the water surface.
"Crash...!"
Behind him, Wang Wutian quickly used his left hand to drag the flexible vines in his hand backwards, forcing Song Shuai out of the puddle, and carefully looked at the turbid puddle with a vigilant expression.
After observing carefully for a moment, he saw some clues.
"It turned out to be an unknown animal cave that was collapsed and submerged by heavy rain last night. It was filled with rainwater."
After confirming that there were no animals hiding and dormant inside, Wang Wutian turned to look at Song Shuai who was lying on the ground, retching in pain and coughing violently, and warned in a calm tone: "Be careful when walking, and pay more attention to your steps.
.”
"If you don't want to step on the ground with puddles, don't step on it. No one knows what's underneath. After all, you only have one life."
"Cough cough cough... I know, I know." Song Shuai coughed violently a few more times, and his face turned red. He finally spit out the muddy water that he accidentally breathed into his lungs, and wiped his eyes, nose and ears.
There was mud and water in the area, so he continued to walk carefully ahead to explore the path.
Wang Wutian followed closely behind, holding a spear tightly in his right hand and scanning the subtle changes in the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.
The other people behind them followed closely behind the two of them, stepping on the ground where Wang Wutian and Song Shuai walked, trying their best to ensure that unexpected situations would not occur.
So, after walking for dozens of minutes.
Wang Wutian's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the small puddle on the ground next to him. He saw that the turbid rain water was slightly rippled in circles, and the movement became more and more obvious.
"earthquake?"
"No, it's probably not an earthquake. The animals in the forest didn't panic and run away on a large scale."
He looked carefully and squatted down again.
He pressed on the ground with one hand and carefully felt the weak vibrations on the ground. Soon, Wang Wutian judged what was going on.
"There are big guys walking, weighing at least twenty or thirty tons, and there are more than one of them."
"Based on the time period when the drastic changes in the environment occurred, as well as the comprehensive analysis of the size and number of hunters in this primitive dense forest, the current large guys of this weight are most likely a group of herbivores, not carnivores."
Guessing this situation, Wang Wutian quickly came up with an idea.
He immediately pulled the pliable vine in his hand and told Song Shuai who was walking in front: "Song Shuai, turn half a corner to the right and then go straight."
Song Shuai looked back at Wang Wutian and said nothing, but his body was already changing the direction of walking according to Wang Wutian's words. After less than three minutes of walking like this, everyone felt an obvious vibration from the ground this time.
Already.
"Boom, boom, boom...!"
The sound of dull and powerful footsteps came from dozens of meters away.
Even through the hazy white fog, everyone could see that the fog not far away was rolling violently, and something was shaking at a height of more than thirty meters. Judging from the rough shape, it seemed to be a huge head.
From time to time, there is a "click, click, click" sound of strong trees breaking.
The huge fallen trees and tree crowns were like a big broom. When they tilted and fell, they passively stirred up violent winds, blowing the surrounding hazy white mist vigorously, allowing everyone who was getting closer to see its true appearance.
The overall shape of this group of animals is similar to that of the long-extinct Brachiosaurus.
But compared to the pictures of Brachiosaurus restored from fossils, there is a thick layer of bony spines on the back of this big guy, just like a tank wearing heavy armor. Not only that, on the back of this big guy,
There are also three rows of long and sharp bone spurs on both sides of its body.
The white bone spurs have a slight backward curvature as a whole, and they look as terrifying as a giant spear protecting a city.
At the end of its long, thick tail that swings back and forth from time to time, there is a special bone structure similar to a battering ram, which it uses to protect itself and kill powerful predators that dare to prey on itself.
Every time the bone hammer on the tail swings behind him, it can easily break a tree trunk as thick as five or six people can hold it.
With such huge power, everyone's scalp was numb when they saw it, and they didn't dare to approach easily. The four thighs standing on the ground were like four giant pillars. Every time they raised their feet, they could step on the surrounding ground.
Shaking gently.
The huge mouth opens, and it can bite off a tree trunk as thick as an adult's thigh in one bite, and swallow the whole tree trunk with the fresh leaves on it.
Then chew it slowly and unhurriedly.
"Is this thing... a dinosaur?"
"It looks like we are not easy to mess with. What are we doing here? They won't come over to eat us, right?"
"With this one kick, we can easily be trampled into meat pies."
…
Everyone was talking in low voices and did not dare to approach easily.
Looking at the strong body that was at least fifty or sixty meters long and nearly twenty meters tall, Wang Wutian's mouth showed a happy smile. With such a physique, even herbivores, few carnivores would dare to provoke him.
It would be perfect to bring him as a temporary mount.
Before approaching here, Wang Wutian had already restrained his powerful aura, fearing to frighten the other party away. At this time, he told everyone not to get close, and then walked alone towards the leader, the strongest and most burly weird brachiosaurus.
The leader of the weird Brachiosaurus lowered his head slightly, glanced sideways at the little boy Wang Wutian, and then completely ignored his presence.
Still minding his own business, he opened his mouth and ate the fresh and delicious leaves.
