The hunting party continued their journey behind Liang Long, and a long time passed.
Coincidentally, the direction Liang Long was heading was not much different from the place they were going to. This made the hunting team even more excited. After all, they had only heard that the place had abundant prey and water, but they had never seen it. Now that Liang Long was "leading the way," they were even more certain that it was a place full of life.
Finally, the Brachiosaurus stopped a short distance ahead of them at a slightly angled position. At that moment, the hunting party heard several dinosaur roars and the calls of birds flying in the sky.
Excitement was written on everyone's face.
They followed Liang Long all the way, and besides the pig-eating ants and man-eating flowers they had just seen, there were only poisonous spiders, centipedes, and other insects that were everywhere. They didn't even see a wild rabbit. They were exhausted both physically and mentally. At this moment, they seemed to see hope, as if they could reach out and touch meat and water.
Daohua excitedly grabbed Li Qing's hand and pulled him forward: "Let's go, Maizi, great! It seems there really is something good ahead!"
Li Qing couldn't hide his excitement. The vibrant activity coming from ahead was much better than he had imagined, with carnivorous dinosaurs roaming everywhere and saber-toothed tigers appearing all over the place. Perhaps this really was a "Shangri-La" that they had never discovered. Jie Wu's words were not wrong!
At this moment, Chu stepped forward and shouted, "Keep going! Don't be too happy yet!"
However, despite saying that, Li Qing could still detect a hint of excitement in Chu's words.
It's not surprising. Converted to hours, they've only been walking for about two or three hours. If they need to hunt later, they'll have another place to go! A journey of two or three hours isn't actually that long for these primitive people, especially since they're not familiar with the route yet. If they were familiar with the route, they could walk even faster!
Upon learning that a rich hunting ground lay ahead, the hunting team became incredibly excited and quickened their pace, heading towards the location.
After passing through the last layer of dense forest, the hunting party arrived at a clearing.
Seeing what was happening before his eyes, Li Qing's eyes widened. This time, he was truly shocked!
The Brachiosaurus from earlier was lowering its long neck and stretching it into a wide, clear river to drink.
Looking at both ends, the river stretches endlessly, proving that it must be several miles long, enough to meet the current drinking water needs of the Honghua tribe.
On the other side of the river, there was a group of creatures drinking the water from the river.
There were bison and wild boars, and far away from them, there were even more herbivorous dinosaurs lined up, drinking water from the river.
The pterosaurs soared through the sky, brushing past several beautifully adorned birds. They seemed to have already eaten their fill, so they had no intention of attacking the herbivores who were drinking water. The herbivores seemed to know this as well, which led to a temporary truce between the two sides, each going about their own business.
A group of Brachiosaurus emerged from the depths of the dense forest further ahead. Upon seeing the lone Brachiosaurus on the opposite bank of the river, they all cried out, as if calling for it to quickly rejoin the group. The Brachiosaurus that was drinking water also raised its neck and cried out loudly in response.
Li Qing was immersed in this scene that he could never see in movies when the hunting party's extremely unpleasant cheers suddenly broke the mood...
"Food, food, it really is all food!"
"Great! Bison, rabbits... and these herbivorous dinosaurs, these are all things we can eat!"
"Li, shall we hurry over there? It doesn't seem as dangerous as the shamans said."
Many members of the hunting party had already taken out their weapons. If Li and Chu hadn't been there, they would have already crossed the river to hunt their prey.
Li's tone seemed much more relaxed: "Let's wait a bit longer."
Even Chu was somewhat dissatisfied with Li's indecisiveness this time. He bluntly scolded, "Li, what's wrong with you lately? You've become a different person. No matter how powerful Jie Wu is, he can't always be right. This place looks perfectly fine. What are we waiting for? Do you think a Tyrannosaurus Rex will suddenly jump out from the front?"
Li glanced back at Chu but didn't say anything.
Since Li and Chu could not reach an agreement, the hunting team could not move. Daohua sighed and complained to Li Qing, "Ah, I'm so hungry."
Li Qing gave a casual "hmm" without giving a serious answer.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Li Qing stared intently at the river surface. He was some distance away from the water, so he couldn't see how deep it was, but he did see that the ripples on the surface seemed to reflect something strange.
No sooner said than done, just as the hunting party was begging Li to let them go straight in, a huge black shadow suddenly leaped out of the river!
The speed was too fast, and Li Qing couldn't make out its specific physical features. He could only see a huge head, about the size of five or six wild boars, covered with water plants, and hair-like creatures. The head opened its mouth, revealing rows of small but densely packed, extremely sharp teeth, which were biting at the neck of the Lianglong that was drinking water!
Blood splattered everywhere!
The poor Lianglong let out a mournful cry, and then the blood gushing from its neck stained the river red.
The neck is the most vulnerable part of the Brachiosaurus's body. When this vital part is attacked, its massive body will involuntarily tilt to one side.
But that giant head didn't stop after killing Liang Long. It used its enormous body to drag the ten-ton Liang Long into the water with some unknown force!
Li Qing was stunned by this scene. He stared wide-eyed, trying to see what this enormous head was that was so terrifying.
The enormous head leaped through the air, dragging the entire Brachiosaurus into the water. Behind its head was only a tail fin that was quite disproportionate to its size, probably no bigger than that of a tropical fish...
Is it a fish?
But what kind of fish could be so big? This is terrifying!
Li Qing had never seen such a large, strange fish before. Recalling the scene of Liang Long being "instantly killed" just now, he couldn't help but shudder.
The strange fish killed the Brachiosaurus in the blink of an eye.
This shows that its strength is far from matching its appearance.
"A brachiosaurus weighing tens of tons was killed by it just like that... What terrifying power!"
The strange fish's sudden display of carnage terrified all the animals that were leisurely drinking water on the opposite bank. The group of Brachiosaurus that were waiting for the dead Brachiosaurus to return to their herd were thrown into chaos. Many of them, driven by instinctive fear, fled in disarray into the depths of the jungle. Even the pterosaurs that were circling in the sky instinctively moved away from the river, as if afraid that the strange fish might take flight and drag them into the water as well.
The hunting party was completely silent.
