After a shipwreck, Li Qing arrives in a primordial world where dinosaurs, ferocious beasts, and humans coexist.
The story... begins here!
...They walked for a long time inside the cave. Quiet, damp, and cool were the only words Li Qing could think of. This made Li Qing, who had initially thought this was the lair of some kind of terrifying beast, feel much more relaxed. He also became increasingly puzzled as to why Chu and the others would hide in this place. This place was safe, but the environment was not good and not suitable for so many people to live in.
Holding a torch, Li Qing walked forward, thinking he could continue walking quietly like this. But suddenly he heard some low growls coming from ahead, and after a moment, the growls disappeared. Then, a series of clattering sounds came from the quiet cave, as if something was running towards him.
Everyone heard the sound, but none of them were weak. They looked at each other and stood together warily, guarding against the impending danger.
"Since we're already here, encountering danger is inevitable," Li Qing thought to himself. "I just don't know what kind of guys are coming from the front."
"Judging from that low growl just now, it didn't seem to be a particularly large creature, but it ran quite fast." Li Qing became increasingly curious about what kind of big guy lived in this place.
"They're here!"
Li stood in front of Li Qing and stretched the torch forward.
This is a way of telling the other party that they are not to be trifled with.
If the other party is sensible, they may very well back down out of fear.
This is also a good way to get rid of it without spending manpower.
The firelight illuminated what was ahead, and the other person's figure finally appeared before them.
It was a small, juvenile oviraptor with eyes the size of beans.
Oviraptors were at the bottom of the dinosaur food chain. They were often smaller than herbivorous dinosaurs, and in terms of individual fighting ability, they were often no match for dinosaurs like Triceratops and Stegosaurus. However, this dinosaur had a characteristic that many herbivorous dinosaurs hated – agility.
It always manages to sneak away and eat the eggs laid by the mother dinosaur when the dinosaurs aren't looking. But this small dinosaur is small in size and runs very fast. Sometimes, it can easily escape by taking advantage of the terrain, which makes the herbivorous dinosaurs grit their teeth in anger, but they are helpless.
They are timid by nature and will never confront their enemies head-on. When they encounter an enemy stronger than themselves, their first reaction is to run away rather than to try to fight.
However, in such a small, enclosed space, even if this little oviraptor had a pair of wings, it probably wouldn't have been able to fly out from in front of everyone.
This was the first time Li Qing had seen an Oviraptor, and he couldn't help but think that this Oviraptor was far too small, only about 1.2 meters tall. It must have just grown up and hadn't reached adulthood yet. He touched his nose and said, "This one is too small. I say, Li, have we entered the territory of Oviraptors? But Oviraptors shouldn't make their home here. They don't have the habit of living in caves."
When they realized what kind of creature was approaching, everyone was no longer as tense as before. A single Oviraptor was not even as threatening as a bison. Li also smiled and replied to Li Qing, "I'm not quite sure about that."
The poor oviraptor had only wanted to see who had invaded its home, but what it saw startled it. It turned its neck from left to right, sizing up everyone, including Li Qing. After looking them all over, it realized it was no match for them, so it took several steps back. It must be said that it was very cautious; it didn't immediately turn and run away, but first observed the extent of the threat posed to it before deciding what to do.
"Should we kill it?" a warrior from the Red Flower tribe asked from the side.
Li said, "The tribe hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and there are almost no wild animals in that place that we can use as food. This oviraptor isn't very small, but it's enough to satisfy their cravings."
Li Qing laughed and chimed in, "That's right, there are definitely dinosaur eggs inside too. These things are very nutritious, so we might as well take them. And if we're lucky, we might even see a few other Oviraptors inside, which would make sure the people in the tribe have enough to eat."
Li turned her head and asked, "Should I go first?"
Li Qing laughed and said, "No need, this Oviraptor is very weak, let Big Black handle it."
The Oviraptor seemed to sense a hint of danger from the conversation. Being naturally suspicious, it immediately turned around and ran towards a dark place.
Its two hind limbs were extremely small, but they made it run very fast. In the short time that everyone was distracted, this oviraptor had already put a considerable distance between itself and the group.
It ran as fast as it could, but Big Black was even faster. The moment it started to run, Big Black reacted, used its two hind legs to leap forward, and chased after it.
Ahead lay a straight road, which was the most disadvantageous for the Oviraptor. Like a leopard, it was agile and had great explosive power, but its endurance was very poor. Moreover, it was already no match for Big Black at full speed, and the disadvantage of the road only hastened its death.
Since Dahei awakened into a ferocious beast, Li Qing had almost never let Dahei hunt prey again. Now that he finally had an opportunity, Dahei used every trick in the book. As it got closer and closer to the Oviraptor, Dahei couldn't help but roar. You know, Oviraptors often don't dare to be arrogant when facing herbivorous dinosaurs. They are typical bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong. This roar scared the Oviraptor out of its wits. For a moment, Li Qing even saw a blob of yellow mud fly out from behind the Oviraptor.
This oviraptor was so scared by the big black guy that it peed and defecated!
However, at this moment, the Oviraptor had no time to care about these things. It felt that the big black dog was chasing it closer and closer. Its strength was almost exhausted, so it suddenly burst out with its last bit of strength. With a slight extension and retraction of its two thin hind legs, it leaped three or four meters away!
Unfortunately, the Oviraptor's good luck was short-lived. After landing, its two hind legs got stuck together, causing it to lose its balance and fall face-first to the ground.
Big Black was a natural hunter. When the Oviraptor showed a weakness, that was when Big Black would show its fangs. It did not miss the opportunity. It leaped and pinned the Oviraptor down. Before the Oviraptor could even cry for help, it bit through the Oviraptor's throat.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
