Back to the Age of Dinosaurs

Chapter 120: [One more] Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops fighting on flowers

Views:

Gulu and Mungo saw a clear creek flowing in front of them, a bright rainbow on the creek, large flowers and cycads floating in the creek, a few of them looked like Tyrannosaurus rex but very small. The dragon rides down the stream on flowers and leaves.

The super-little Tyrannosaurus rex was sitting on flowers and leaves floating in the creek.

All the plants on this small island have not become smaller or are as huge as those on the inland. The fern is five or six meters high, and a flower is two or three meters high. .

But all the dragons on this small island have become very small. The large dragon weighing dozens of tons in the inland has become only the size of a foal on the island, and the Tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops of more than ten tons have become only the same size on the island. Rooster size.

These unchanging tall plants and the very small dragons form a strong contrast.

Gollum had never thought the ferns and flowers were so big before, because he was big himself, and all the dragons around his parents were big.

These extraordinarily tall plants were born in the age of dinosaurs and would not seem to be incompatible at all, because dinosaurs were also huge, and the dragons on the mainland looked at these plants in the same visual proportions as humans looked at flowers, plants and trees.

But when he got here, it was amazing to see the rooster-sized Tyrannosaurus rex standing on huge flowers and leaves floating on the crystal clear water.

This river is just a small stream for Gulu and Mungo, but it is a very dangerous river for these miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex, and they may drown if they are not careful.

Before, when Gulu rode Ute, he just hovered over the island and looked around. It was impossible to see these from a long distance. He could only see many small dinosaurs on the island, and the little dinosaurs that Gulu saw were basically All have the size of a foal and are actually the large dinosaurs on the island.

These miniature Tyrannosaurus rex, Gollum and Mungo are all seeing for the first time.

On both sides of the stream is a large sea of flowers, interspersed with tall cycads and cycads.

Both Gulu and Mungo saw a group of these miniature tyrannosaurs in the flowers across the stream. It seemed to be a group of tyrannosaurs, and this group of miniature tyrannosaurs was crossing the river.

The few miniature tyrannosaurs went down the river first. They found the leaves and flowers floating on the river to ride on. There were dozens of miniature tyrannosaurs behind them, and they were preparing to go down the river.

Gulu blinked at Mungo, his consciousness was not to make a sound, not to frighten them, he wanted to see how these miniature Tyrannosaurus rex crossed the river.

Of course, Mungo will satisfy all of Gulu's curiosity. He was surprised at first, but now he feels that these little Tyrannosaurus rexes that look very similar to him are simply insulting the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Gulu and Mungo hid in the lush flowers by the creek, looking at the miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex group across the creek.

This ethnic group consists of about 20 little Tyrannosaurus rex. Gulu guessed that these little Tyrannosaurus rex could only live in groups because they lacked the size advantage of inland Tyrannosaurus rex.

However, even though the size of the Tyrannosaurus Rex became smaller, the other dragons on the island also became smaller. Gulu felt that these Tyrannosaurus rex living in groups must still be the top big bosses on this island, but these top big bosses are really Cute.

Gulu saw a miniature Tyrannosaurus rex climbing up the large stem of a flower, the sapling-sized stem of the rooster-sized Tyrannosaurus rex was slightly arched, and finally the little Tyrannosaurus rex stood inside the big flower. .

The big flower was bent over, and this Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed to be the leader. He let out a roar, and the little Tyrannosaurus Rex standing on the ground looked up at him and responded to his roar.

This picture is so dreamy that it is unreal. The sun shines on the flowers as if splashing colorful ripples. There is a sea of flowers around, and in front of them is a clear stream. The rainbow bridge connects the two banks. .

Gollum: Can you believe it? ! I saw a Tyrannosaurus rex standing inside the flower!

The little Tyrannosaurus rex leader standing on the flower roared, showing contented fangs. There were a lot of minced meat and wet blood on the teeth, proving that they had hunted just now.

No matter how cruel the leader of this little Tyrannosaurus rex roars, at most Gulu looks fierce and cute, making people want to hug the cute little Tyrannosaurus rex in his arms.

Gulu was screamed in his heart by this group of little Tyrannosaurus rex, but he couldn't make a sound yet.

The roar of these little Tyrannosaurus rex is very powerful, but it is too small compared to the real Tyrannosaurus rex inland. If the roar of the inland Tyrannosaurus rex is likened to thunder, then the roar of these little Tyrannosaurus rex is too small. At most, it is a "subwoofer" in music performance.

Then the tyrannosaurus leader jumped on the flower twice, completely bending the big flower, but the big flower was very flexible and the stem did not break, but as the tyrannosaurus jumped the flower, it was getting closer and closer to the ground. Finally, when the flower was relatively close to the ground, the Tyrannosaurus Rex leader jumped down.

Gollum saw the leader of the Tyrannosaurus rex walking with their friends to the creek.

At this time, Gulu noticed that the bank of this creek was really too high for the little Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was at least two meters high from the river bank to the water. The little Tyrannosaurus rex had no wings to jump directly. They will drown by falling into a river too deep for them and not being able to surface in time.

Fortunately, there is a fallen cypress tree by the stream. The cypress tree is half in the river and half on the bank. The little Tyrannosaurus rex can walk to the river through this cypress tree.

The leader of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was the first to go down the river. The few Tyrannosaurs who were in the lead had already drifted farther on the flowers and leaves, and the Tyrannosaurs at the back followed in sequence.

Gulu just watched a group of little Tyrannosaurus rex swimming in the river, and a slightly bigger wave would make them a little nervous.

A big flower floated over from the upper reaches, and all the little Tyrannosaurus rex immediately leaned against each other and waited for the flower to float by. They blocked the flower with their own bodies, and waited until the Tyrannosaurus rex leader climbed onto the flower before they could Separate and let the flowers continue to float forward with the leader.

Then some very large cycads floated over. The smallest cycads in the Cretaceous period were three or four meters long and one meter wide, and the rest of the Tyrannosaurus rex climbed onto the cycads one after another.

Gollum and Mungo followed them on the shore to see where they were going.

Drifting and drifting, the group of little Tyrannosaurus rex encountered a small triceratops alone.

This lonely little triceratops was also riding a very large flower. When he saw this group of little tyrannosaurs, he was very flustered. He ran desperately on the flowers, wanting the flowers to float faster. some, but to no avail.

The group of Tyrannosaurus rex jumped into the river from their respective flowers and leaves, and quickly swam to the big flower where the little triceratops was located.

The little triceratops had no way to escape, and even jumping into the water would be killed by the little tyrannosaurs in the water.

The little Tyrannosaurus rex leader and the little triceratops started a duel on this multiflower.

This is a large white flower, the yellow stamen in the middle is more than one meter wide, surrounded by layers of beautiful white petals, which are somewhat similar to Hangbai chrysanthemum.

The main battlefield of the little Tyrannosaurus rex and the little triceratops is on this meter-wide stamen.

Gollum: Can you believe it? ! I saw a Tyrannosaurus rex and a Triceratops fighting over a flower!

Even Mungo was stunned. Fighting over a flower was unimaginable in his previous Longsheng, but since there was Gulu, Mongo has seen too much, he has never something seen.

The little triceratops rushed towards the little tyrannosaurus, trying to kill the tyrannosaurus with his long horns, but this tyrannosaurus was too powerful, he was the leader, not only did he easily escape the horns of the laughing triceratops Biting off a large piece of meat on the back of the little triceratops.

Gulu could see that although this miniature triceratops was an adult, it must belong to the weaker members of the group, so it was placed on the list. This triceratops would definitely not be able to defeat the leader of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Sure enough, after a while, there was almost no good flesh on the Triceratops, and it was covered in blood. There was also a lot of blood on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it was all Triceratops blood. The original yellow stamens turned into dark red and white petals. It was also stained with large swaths of blood red.

The stream illuminated by the sun was glowing with lingering light, and the huge white flowers were gradually dyed red with blood, and the blood flowed from the flowers into the stream.

Gollum: My old swan, how can there be such a bloody and violent, yet so cute and beautiful scene!

Soon the leader of the Tyrannosaurus rex bit the neck of the Triceratops, and the blood spurted out. his victory.

The tyrannosaurus leader began to feast on his prey.

A lot of blood continued to pour out from the Triceratops body, and after a while, the stamens overflowed. These thick blood flowed down the petals, and soon every large petal was painted blood red.

The blood flowed along the petals into the river, and the whole flower seemed to be a blood-bathed magic flower. The little Tyrannosaurus rex was very excited by the smell of blood. They opened their mouths and dripped blood from the petals. .

Obviously, the bite force of these little tyrannosaurs on the island is as terrible as their inland relatives, the real tyrannosaurs. They are veritable bone crushers. eat together.

After a while, the Tyrannosaurus leader was full, and he ate the entire body of the Triceratops.

After the Tyrannosaurus leader was full, he slid down the petals into the water and returned to the petals where he was riding before.

The rest of the tyrannosaurs around are also very orderly. The strongest tyrannosaurus has priority to eat. They climbed on the flowers one by one to eat the remaining triceratops, but two or three tyrannosaurs ate the triceratops. All the scum is left.

The rest of the Tyrannosaurus Rex can only eat the meat residue and blood on the flowers. In the end, the whole blood-soaked flower is divided up by these Tyrannosaurus Rex. As long as there is blood and meat residue, they can eat the flowers and ferns.

The Tyrannosaurs continued down the river, and Gollum and Mungo continued to follow them on the shore.

Walking and walking, Gulu saw a tributary creek also appeared on the opposite bank. This tributary merged into the mainstream creek where the little Tyrannosaurus rex were located. At the end of the tributary creek was a small waterfall, formed by the water flowing down the mountain. this tributary stream.

Gulu saw a few stones the size of grinding discs fell from the waterfall, causing more than 10 feet of water in the stream below, and then the waterfall suddenly rushed down a large amount of water, probably from a river somewhere upstream. The embankment collapsed.

In fact, for Gulu and Mongo, this is not a flood at all, but for these little Tyrannosaurus rex, it is undoubtedly a disaster, a super flood. How to do.

In an instant, the "extreme flood" overturned the large flowers and leaves that the little Tyrannosaurus rex rode on. These miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex were tossing in the water one by one, and their bodies were completely out of their own control, and they were about to drown.

Gollum wanted to know if the dragons on these small islands were always so small, he wanted to communicate with these miniature Tyrannosaurus rex, and he wanted to study them.

Therefore, Gulu quickly made a decision. He ran out with Mungo and let Mungo sit at the intersection of the tributary stream and the mainstream stream. After Mungo sat down, it became a huge barrier. It stopped the "super flood" from continuing to rush here, and all the excess water flooded into the fern field.

These miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex knew that they would be dead today, the flood would sweep them away, and they would be eaten by the big river. They were all very scared and struggled desperately in the water.

Gulu jumped into the stream, picked up these miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex one by one, and carried them all ashore. Finally, he rescued the Tyrannosaurus Rex leader and held it in his mouth.

These little tyrannosaurs looked at the gigantic Gollum, and of course they also saw the gigantic Mongo, they couldn't believe their eyes, and they forgot to escape, how could there be such a big triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, is it not dreaming!

Seeing that Gulu rescued these miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex, Mungo stood up from the stream and walked back to the shore.

The depth of this creek is less than five meters, Mungo can walk directly in it, and the water will not drown his back.

In order not to frighten these little guys, Gulu motioned for Mungo to lie on the ground, and he put the Tyrannosaurus Rex leader on Mungo's big head, so that it would be easier to speak.

Of course, this group of miniature Tyrannosaurus rex knew that it was these two super big Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops who saved them, but they were still very scared. The Tyrannosaurus Rex leader was trembling all over on Mungo's head, and the rest Tyrannosaurus Rex huddled together. Hug together and tremble.

Gulu whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, my name is Gulu, this big Tyrannosaurus Rex is called Mongo, we are from a very big continent, we are very happy get to know you."

The leader of Tyrannosaurus rex ate a triceratops just now, but was rescued by a giant triceratops. He made him deeply doubt Longsheng, but he still had the courage to say: "Thank you, Thank you for saving us, I, my name is Banjo."

Gollum: "Hello, Banjo, my name is Gollum."

Banjo murmured: "Gulu, Gulu, your name is so nice, you are so big, our triceratops here are not as big as your eyes."

Gulu: "Banjo, don't be afraid, Mungo and I will not hurt you, I want to talk to you, can I ask you some questions?"

Banjo nodded stupidly and said, "Yes."

Gulu: "You know that you are on a small island. There is a big sea outside the small island, and there is a big continent at the end of the sea. There are many big dragons like us on the continent?"

Banjo nodded and said, "I know, there is a very high mountain on our island. Climbing up that mountain, we can see the mainland. There are many, many dragons on the mainland, and we all know that."

Gulu: "Do you also know that there are huge Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex on the mainland?"

Banjo: "I know, but the dragons on the mainland can never come here. The big dragons on the mainland can't fly or swim in the sea. How did you come here?"

Gulu: "I know the dragon in the sea. The dragon in the sea brought us here."

Banjo: "You're amazing, we don't even dare to go to the seaside, the seaside is scary, the sea is scary."

Gollum felt that Banjo was too cute for some reason. It turned out that the miniature Tyrannosaurus Rex not only looked cute, but also had a cute way of thinking. Even though Banjo was already the leader, it was still so cute, not very ferocious like Mungo.

But in fact, Banjo is famous for his ferocity on this small island. The group of Tyrannosaurus rex led by Banjo dared to hunt even the giant dinosaurs on the island the size of adult horses. It's just that Banjo's small body made Gollum subconsciously feel that he was very Moe.

Banjo continued: "A long, long time ago, our ancestors also lived on the mainland, and they were as big as you, and then the mainland split, they stayed on the island and couldn't get out, and slowly we became smaller... "

These "legends of ancestors" are preserved through "oral transmission" from generation to generation. Although dinosaurs do not have words to record like humans, they will also use this simplest way to tell their history to future generations.

After Gulu listened to what Banjo said, he gradually understood why these same type of dragons on the island are so much smaller than those on the mainland. If it is scientifically explained, it should be "dwarfing of the island".

The environment in which any organism lives has a great impact on it. In order to survive and reproduce in this environment for a long time, organisms must adapt to the environment and constantly evolve.

These dinosaurs stranded on the isolated island because of the division of the continent, they cannot leave the isolated island, and the island has limited resources. In order to survive and reproduce, they will continue to "evolve" and become smaller and smaller to adapt to the living environment of the isolated island.

This isolated island has existed for at least hundreds of years, and the dinosaurs on the island have gradually shrunk to this size.

As a paleontologist before, Gulu knew that this "island dwarfing" dinosaur had been found on a private island abroad. The owner of the island happened to be a dinosaur lover, so he announced the discovery, but almost all Paleontologists all believe that the owner of the isolated island is not a "professional", and his discovery is not authoritative, perhaps for gimmicks, so it has not attracted attention.

Before, Gulu didn't believe that such "island dwarf dinosaurs" really existed. Until now, with the facts in front of him, he couldn't help but believe it.

Banjo and Gollum had talked for so long, and Banjo gradually stopped being afraid of Gollum. He learned a lot of strange things off the island through Gollum, and he found that he actually fell in love with this huge triceratops.

Gollum: "Banjo, thank you for telling me so much, this little island is so beautiful and magical."

Banjo: "Gollum, it's me who should thank you and Mungo for saving us."

Gollum: "Banjo, can I become a human and give you a hug?"

In the previous conversation, Gollum had already told Banjo that he could become a human. Banjo was very curious about what kind of dragon a human was? !

Banjo: "Of course, Gollum."

Gulu first took Banjo from Mungo's head and put it on the ground, mainly because he became a human and couldn't easily climb onto Mungo's head and hug Banjo.

Then Gollum became a human, and the little tyrannosaurs from the human perspective were even cuter. As a giant triceratops, these miniature tyrannosaurs felt like small ants, and as a human, they looked at a rooster-sized tyrannosaurus. Dragon is so cute.

Even though these Tyrannosaurus Rex are very small, Mungo is still afraid that these Tyrannosaurus Rex will bite or scratch Gulu. He watches intently, ready to protect Gulu, who is very vulnerable as a human being.

Banjo looked at Gollum as a human being. Humans and dragons are different in length. Humans don't have scales, and their bodies look so white and slippery.

Gollum squatted down, stroked Banjo gently and said, "My God, Banjo, you are so cute!"

Banjo corrected Gulu very seriously: "Gulu, I'm a Tyrannosaurus rex, I'm not cute, I'm fierce!"

Gulu: "Okay, you are very fierce, can I hug you?"

Banjo nodded, and Gollum hugged Banjo, just like holding a very realistic large-scale Tyrannosaurus Rex figure, Gollum was so excited that he wanted to jump up, God, this Tyrannosaurus Rex is too cute!

Gollum held Banjo's tail in one hand and his strong hind legs with the other. Gollum's palm was so large that it could barely stand under one of Banjo's paws, and the other paw stood on Gollum's wrist.

Banjo knew that Gollum's human skin was very fragile, and he deliberately kept his sharp claws without leaving a single red mark on Gollum's palms and arms.

Gollum lowered his head and rubbed Banjo's big head, and Banjo rubbed Gollum's chin and cheek with his big head.

The Banjo brothers stood on the ground looking up at their leader as if they had befriended two giant Tyrannosaurus rex Triceratops, and they all thought it was amazing.

Gollum: "Banjo, can you walk around this island with me?"

Of course Banjo nodded and said yes, and Gollum added, "You let your brothers go further, I'm afraid Mungo will step on them later."

After Banjo's brothers had run away, Gollum said to Mungo: "Mungo, I'm going to take Banjo to sit on your back, you take us around this island, and I want to see other places. ."

Of course, Mungo nodded and said yes, Gulu first turned into a triceratops and put Banjo on Mungo's back, and then he turned into a human and climbed up from Mongo's head to his back.

Gollum sat on Mungo's back, and Banjo was held in Gollum's hands. Gollum could touch Banjo's lintel as much as he wanted. Banjo's hand felt really good.

Mongo's back is really too big, and Mongo walks fast and steadily, they can run and play on it wantonly,

Gulu saw that there are many kinds of dinosaurs on the island. The Argentinosaurus weighing 100 tons in the inland is only the size of a horse on this small island, not to mention that other dragons have shrunk a lot in proportion.

Mungo is really too big, all the dragons fled and fled wherever he walked, and some were trampled to death by Mongo.

Gulu saw that there were also some pterosaurs on the island, especially the Hatzigo pterosaur. This kind of pterosaur stood up to 6 meters high, and its skull alone was three meters long.

All the dragons on the island are miniature versions of the inland. Except for the pterosaurs, the pterosaurs here are very large and there is no difference between the inland.

Gollum knew why pterosaurs were so big, because pterosaurs could fly off islands, and they wouldn't be affected by "island dwarfism".

These pterosaurs are the top predators here, and even the little tyrannosaurs led by Banjo have to hide when they see these pterosaurs.

Gulu saw a pterosaur hunting a group of dwarf hadrosaurs. These hadrosaurs were not as big as puppies, and their tails were no more than one meter long and weighed no more than 20 pounds.

The long beak of Hatzigopterosaur caught the hadrosaur in its mouth like chopsticks, and these hadrosaurs were swallowed whole like little insects without any resistance.

This isolated island is a kingdom ruled by pterosaurs.

Gulu also saw the rhinos that were hunting, and Ling hid in a dense tree to watch the rhinos hunt.

The largest dinosaur on the island that the rhino hunted was the size of a full-grown horse. Gulu could see that the rhino was full and he was practicing hunting.

This isolated island is not big, and I finished shopping in the afternoon.

Mungo and Gollum sent Banjo back to the creek. If they didn't send Banjo back, they wouldn't know how long it would take to get back to the place where the tribe lived because of Banjo's small size.

Banjo knew that Gulu and Mungo were going to go back to the mainland before dark, and they might never come back. Even if they only got along with Gulu for a short time, Banjo already liked Gulu very much, and he was very reluctant to leave Gulu.

Gollum got off Mungo's body and changed back to the form of a triceratops.

Banjo said, "Gollum, you and Mungo saved us, and we haven't paid you back yet. I'll let my brothers come over and we can make you comfortable."

Gollum doesn't need Banjo's thanks, but he's curious what this comfort is? !
