Chapter 184: All dragons are superstitious about Gollum

Views:

Gulu deeply doubted that there must be a way to simulate the incubation environment in the portable space. Even the complex process of cultivating dragon eggs can be simulated, so why can't it simulate such a primitive incubation environment.

Just like incubating eggs, isn't that a very simple matter. Humans can incubate eggs artificially a long time ago, and they don't need hens to incubate them themselves. This has no technical content at all.

The portable space immediately gave a reply: "Master, hatching dragon eggs requires the care of parents. The space can simulate the hatching environment, but it cannot give any real emotional needs."

After listening to it, Gulu felt very guilty. As a real person, as the biological father of Longdan, he didn't have a cold portable space to think carefully about Longdan.

Even if it is only put in the space for a short time, it is also released, and it is also an escape from the responsibility that he should take as a father. Other dragons have to go through untold hardships to hatch successful cubs, and they must also experience this.

Although Gulu became conscious after breaking the shell, he still vaguely remembers the feeling of being in the dragon egg until now. Even if it is only slowly taking shape in the egg shell, he can still feel the fullness of Gaia. maternal love.

That kind of feeling was very wonderful, he knew that Gaia never left them, Gaia always took good care of the dragon eggs, never let them get cold or damp, and they always grew up in the most comfortable environment.

It's not that the portable space can't help hatch dragon eggs, but that dragon eggs must be hatched by themselves. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they must find a way to solve them like other dragons.

Gulu and Mungo decided to set off for the mountain early the next morning. Of course, they went to tell the few good groups first.

Of course, they also each told the dragons in the group to prepare to appear early the next morning, to feed the ferns today, to prepare to start carrying dragon eggs and cubs, to rest well at night, and so on.

When Gollum patrolled the group, Mungo was seriously hatching the egg baby.

All the Triceratops in the clan are preparing for their departure tomorrow. The adult dragon not only needs to feed himself, but also urge the cubs to feed.

The triceratops mother with baby dragon eggs is constantly trying to find how many dragon eggs she can hold.

The back of the triceratops is very elastic, whether it is a female dragon or a male dragon, because an adult triceratops needs to eat thousands of pounds of ferns every day to maintain its huge body, and the daily excretion is several hundred. Jin, a small mountain will be piled up in a day or two.

Cretaceous ferns can grow to seven or eight meters high, even more than ten meters high, and ferns can grow much faster than later grasses, and can grow several meters high in two or three days. A very large herbivorous dragon.

Of course, without a large number of herbivorous dragons eating these ferns, the ecological balance would be lost.

At the same time, the large amount of manure produced by herbivorous dragons also provides sufficient nutrients for various plants.

The excretory organ of any herbivorous dragon is very elastic, it can be very tight, or it can be excreted quickly when it is used. These are all controlled by the herbivorous dragon itself.

The excretion of carnivore dragons is not as much as that of herbivorous dragons. Even carnivore dragons of the same weight and size do not have as much excretion as herbivorous dragons.

In general, the excretion of pure carnivores is the smallest among creatures of the same size, followed by omnivores, and herbivores have the largest excretion.

For example, adult humans and calves of the same weight, humans are omnivores, and calves are herbivores, so the daily excretion of calves must be large.

Therefore, handling dragon eggs is not particularly difficult for most herbivorous dragons.

During the evolution of Tyrannosaurus rex, it was tacitly accepted that female Tyrannosaurus rex was the main force for raising cubs. In the process of hatching dragon eggs, it would definitely involve handling dragon eggs. There are so many dragon eggs, it is impossible to hold them one by one. go.

In order to better breed cubs, the body of the female Tyrannosaurus rex naturally formed a physiological structure suitable for carrying dragon eggs during the long-term evolution.

Male Tyrannosaurus rex did not develop the physiological structure suitable for hatching young.

Therefore, it can't be blamed for Meng Ge's unwillingness to try, mainly because his body structure does not allow it. If he has to try, it is very likely to squeeze the dragon eggs.

This is also the reason why the male Tyrannosaurus Rex hatching dragon eggs as a single parent has basically zero survival rate.

Even if the male tyrannosaurus rex is very powerful and can never change its territory, it is necessary to transfer the dragon eggs out of the lair when it rains or in other circumstances. The dragon egg that is taken away is likely to be eaten by the schizotooth beast, the egg-stealing dragon, etc., and the dragon egg that is taken away is also very dangerous if it is not taken care of.

Female Tyrannosaurus rex almost never leaves the nest when hatching dragon eggs. Even if they go hunting, they are near the nest. If the dragon eggs need to be transferred to other places, the female Tyrannosaurus rex will use the safest way to put them in the body. way to transfer dragon eggs together.

The number of eggs laid by a carnivore dragon is far less than that of a herbivorous dragon, and the body of a female Tyrannosaurus rex can fully hold about ten dragon eggs.

A triceratops can basically lay about 20 dragon eggs in a nest. A female triceratops can lay down more than 10 dragon eggs at most, which is already the limit. Many female triceratops will seek a mate male triceratops when carrying dragon eggs. Dragon's help.

Of course, male triceratops generally only help the female triceratops they love most. If you look at it according to the standards of human society, male triceratops are generally scum, because most of them just give birth and don't care.

Some female triceratops who cannot get the help of male triceratops will ask for the help of other female triceratops in the group who do not need to carry dragon eggs, so it is necessary to maintain a few good sisters at ordinary times.

Female triceratops usually help each other. They don't have the complicated relationship as human society, and they don't have any scheming. If they can help, they will help.

However, there are also special circumstances. For example, when migrating, it is difficult for an adult triceratops to survive on their own, so they will not help other female triceratops to carry dragon eggs. time will be a burden.

Before on the way to migrate, Gulu had seen the Triceratops mother desperately stuffing dragon eggs into her body, but no matter what, she couldn't put so much. Help her, in the end she had to give up a few eggs cruelly.

Now, Gulu could see the female triceratops and male triceratops of his own group loading dragon eggs into their bodies together.

There are also some newly born cubs. They can't travel long distances and can't keep up with the pace of the tribe. The Triceratops will carry them on their wide backs. Staying on Ma Ma's back, falling from such a high back can be fatal.

Therefore, Gulu can also see that many newly born little triceratops in the group learn to crawl on Ma Ma's back, and learn to stand, lie down or even run a few steps on Ma Ma's wide back. Falling off, and learning how to safely slide off Mama's back when she's on the ground.

These are skills the cubs must master before they set off.

Although the back of the Triceratops is very wide, it is completely impossible to carry the eggs on the back. The eggs are round and cannot be fixed, and it is not like the cubs can learn to stay on the backs of the mama.

Gollum returned to the lair after inspecting the group, and he also slowly filled the eggs into his body like the other triceratops in the group.

Mungo watched from the side and felt guilty for not being able to carry the dragon eggs.

Gulu was inexperienced and was afraid of crushing the dragon eggs. His movements were very slow and gentle. Each egg was placed individually on the soft and thick fern, one by one.

Meng Ge was lying on the ground, watching without blinking, looking at Gulu a little embarrassed.

Nine eggs are not too many for any triceratops. Gulu's movements are very slow, and gradually they are all put in.

Gollum felt strange.

Of course, such a weight is nothing for the Triceratops' weight of more than ten tons, but there is also a certain feeling of falling, which is not obvious, especially for a strong male Triceratops like Gulu, these weights can be ignored. , just feels weird.

Mungo had seen Gaya carrying dragon eggs like this before, and he didn't find it strange, but he felt guilty that he couldn't help in carrying dragon eggs. Gulu is too hard for a dragon.

Gulu tried to run a few laps, and there was a very obvious feeling of falling when walking and running, but after running a few more laps, it got better.

In this way, Gulu constantly practiced putting it in and pulling it out. After practicing many times, he was able to perform this operation very proficiently.

Gollum found this really amazing, he seemed to like carrying dragon eggs a little bit.

Especially when running, he could clearly feel the gentle movement and impact of the dragon egg in his body.

The dragon eggs come out with the fragrance of ferns, and the excrement of herbivores is very clean.

In particular, the digestive systems of dinosaurs were not as sound as those of later herbivores. The feces of many herbivorous dragons can see the basic shape of the ferns they ate before, what they ate, and what they pulled out, not very stinky. .

They set off early the next morning.

Mungo's brothers and Gaia were far behind the Guru tribe.

This time, Kangkang was the happiest when he went to the mountain, because Yuwanglong lived on that mountain.

During this time, the rain was abundant, and even if there was no big river like the Da Da River on the mountain, it was no longer dry. The ferns and trees grew very lush, and from a distance they looked like they were going to be full of green.

Gulu and Mungo walked at the front of the group, and from time to time they would look back to see the situation of the group.

The huge triceratops group is very lively, the little triceratops are very happy to run around beside the adult triceratops, and the newly born triceratops cubs are carried on their backs by their Ma Ma. Huge back chase slapstick...

Adult triceratops are very accommodating to the cubs. This is probably the first time that many cubs "go away". It is normal for them to be excited, curious and playful.

Looking at these triceratops cubs, Gulu couldn't help but think of when he was a child, as long as the clan changed territory, as long as the clan went to other places, he was also so excited, the cubs were always curious about everything.

He still remembered the scene where he and Pachidudu used to fight on the huge backs of Pado and Barbana. It seemed like it happened yesterday. They were all grown up in the blink of an eye.

Of course, Gulu also remembered that he always liked to lie on Mungo's big head when he was very young, and he liked to lie on Mungo's back when he grew up. Mongo would take him to many, many places to play, no matter where it was. Whenever he wanted to go, Mungo would take him there.

The journey to Dashan is still relatively long, and it takes more than ten days to walk. Fortunately, the weather during this period is very good, and it is basically sunny.

Where Gulu's clan walked, many clans followed them and walked up the mountain.

Although these groups do not know why Gulu took the group to leave this most fertile fern plain, but after numerous fact-checks and hearing about Gulu's so many legendary deeds, all the dragon groups have become unprincipled "Superstition" Gollum.

Since Gulu would leave the most fertile fern plain with the clan, it must be for the good of the clan, and there must be a reason. No matter what the reason, it would never be wrong to follow King Gulu.

Those tribes who didn't follow Gulu before died so tragically, all the dragons have heard of it, and even seen it with their own eyes.

With this thought in mind, all the dragons couldn't help but follow in the footsteps of King Guru.

Gulu kept telling these dragons: You don't have to follow me, this flood will not submerge all the fern plains, only the dragons near the Dada River need to migrate to the mountains, and the rest of the dragons don't need to go to the mountains...

However, all the dragons silently followed Gulu's clan, whether it was herbivorous or carnivorous, they believed what Gulu said, but they still wanted to follow Gulu.

Of course, Gulu couldn't accurately judge where the flood would flood. For the absolute safety of the dragon eggs, they had to temporarily move to the mountain, and other dragons would also be driven down if they went to the mountain.

However, Gulu had no way to take these dragons. So many dragons went to the mountain. No matter how big the mountain was, it could not accommodate so many dragons. There would definitely be some weak dragons that would be driven away by other strong dragons.

When the weaker dragons saw that the flood did not completely submerge the fern fields, and that they could not take a place on the mountain, they would return to the fern plains themselves.

The journey to the mountains was smooth. As the most powerful Triceratops, the Gulu tribe lived a very happy life. Although they would also be hunted by carnivorous dragons, hunting by carnivorous dragons was the most healthy development of the triangle. Dragon tribe.

Some time ago, because Gulu killed thousands of carnivorous dragons, none of the carnivorous dragons dared to hunt Gulu's tribe, but Gulu was very worried.

If there is no carnivore to hunt, the triceratops in the group will gradually begin to settle for the status quo and lose their competitiveness. Only in the constant battle with the carnivore will the triceratops in the group become more and more powerful.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for it to return to the way it used to be. The carnivorous dragons would still hunt Gulu's clan, but they would no longer dare to unite and dream of killing Gulu, and the carnivorous dragons would no longer dare to challenge Gulu.

Gulu and Mungo will take turns taking care of the dragon eggs. During the migration process, there is no fixed territory, and the dragon eggs are very dangerous. No matter what happens, there will always be one of them who will stay and watch the dragon eggs.

Not only do oviducts and schizodons steal dragon eggs and eat them, but also some other groups of triceratops may delusionally "replacing civet cats for princes".

As the most powerful Triceratops, many Triceratops fantasize that if their cubs can be raised by Gollum, then their cubs will become very powerful.

Of course, the triceratops of Gulu's own group would not do such a thing, but not necessarily the triceratops of other groups.

Pado and Babbana's dragon eggs were almost replaced before, but fortunately, they found out in time and failed to exchange them. Pado killed the male Triceratops who was trying to replace his dragon eggs.

The dragon eggs are all about the same length, and even the eggs of Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus cannot be distinguished. Even if the Triceratops of other ethnic groups have changed a few of their eggs, they can't tell.

If in their own territory, it is impossible for triceratops of other ethnic groups to enter their territory and ethnic group, and it is unlikely to change eggs, but on the way of migration, the boundaries between ethnic groups and ethnic groups are not clear, which gives The Dragon of Heart has great maneuverability.

Gulu and Mongo absolutely couldn't accept it, and their little cubs fell into other groups.

Under the protection of the two super attentive and responsible fathers, the journey went smoothly. They looked at their dragon eggs without blinking, and never gave the dragons with heart a chance.

When passing by the hill where Gollum and the carnivorous dragons fought, Gollum specially looked at it. It had been two or three months, and the mountain was still blood red, and the rain had not washed away the infiltrated soil. and blood in the rocks.

Gollum thought that this red mountain would probably never fade.

Finally, 15 days later, the group successfully migrated to the mountain, and the dragon eggs were all very healthy.

Gollum's clan certainly occupied the best territory on the mountain.

The other ethnic groups were very chaotic, and many ethnic groups that were not strong enough were driven down the mountain, because the mountain simply could not accommodate so many ethnic groups, and they became a mess for a while.

Kangkang didn't expect that the ferns and trees on the mountain had grown so lush after just over a month. In the past, the mountain was very barren due to lack of rain.

This mountain is very familiar to Kangkang. Gulu can choose the territory so quickly because of the assistance of Kangkang, a "virtuous minister".

Kangkang has always been grateful to Gulu for accepting his clan, so that he can come back to the mountain to visit Yuwanglong with peace of mind every month.

Because there is no sufficient water source, the mountain is in a dry state all year round. Only when the fern plain is flooded, the plants on the mountain will become very lush due to the abundant rain, but the flood will not occur once in a few years.

Gulu and Mungo rebuilt the nest for the cubs, and the other dragons were still in a mess, but at this time Gulu's group had basically settled down.

The carnivorous dragons on the mountain are also waiting for the opportunity to start hunting herbivorous dragons.

More than a dozen rose maple dragons began to hunt Gulu's group, and Gulu had to leave the dragon egg and take the strongest triceratops in the group to resist the attack of the maple dragons, and fiercely attacked these maple dragons.

There is no need to ask Gulu at all, Mungo will also be optimistic about dragon eggs.

Even if he didn't need to take care of the dragon eggs, when the carnivore dragon attacked Gulu's group, Mungo would never intervene, mainly because Gulu wouldn't let him control it.

Mungo focused on their dragon eggs.

At this moment, a scorpion-toothed beast quickly ran past the nest with a dragon egg in it.

Meng Ge subconsciously went after him. Any qualified father-to-be would chase after him as long as he saw the schizotooth holding an egg and ran past his lair, and he would not have any time to think.

However, after chasing a few steps, Mungo suddenly realized that the egg cradled by the schizodon didn't seem to have been stolen from his lair, and he immediately ran back.

As soon as I turned around, I saw that another schizotooth really stole an egg from the nest!

Mungo desperately chased the schizotooth beast.

At this time, a male triceratops quickly put the two eggs in his mouth into the nest, and took out the two eggs in the nest at the same time, which perfectly completed the process of "civet cat for prince".

Mongo quickly recovered the egg in the mouth of the sclerodon, and the egg was not injured at all, and the scorpion was also trampled to death by Mongo.

Not daring to have any delay, Meng Ge immediately ran back to the nest and counted 8 eggs in the nest carefully before he was relieved.

Whether it is a triceratops or a Tyrannosaurus rex, the eggs will be stolen by the sclerodon. This is normal. Gaia and Mungo's brothers are so powerful that they will take turns to take care of the baby eggs. Gaia's eggs have been stolen by the scorpion. .

Mungo blamed himself very much. He carefully checked every egg and finally felt relieved after confirming that no egg was injured.

The male Triceratops stole Mungo and Gulu's eggs and didn't bring them back to raise them, but randomly discarded them in the grass not far away.

However, no matter how perfect the male triceratops' plan was, it still ignored the strong revenge of the schizotooth beast.

These schizotooth beasts were forced to run over by the male triceratops. No matter how daring they were, they would not dare to act as demons under Mungo's eyes, but the male triceratops was so powerful that they could be trampled to death with one foot. They had to listen to the male Triceratops.

The male triceratops adhered to the ideological guidance of being reluctant to bear children and could not catch wolves. He brought a total of three eggs of his own. Beloved, I will definitely go after this schizotooth beast.

He also knew that Mungo would react soon, and arranged for another scorpion-toothed beast to really steal an egg. Mongo would definitely go after him. Taking advantage of this time, he could complete the egg-changing procedure. will not be found at all.

The reason why this male triceratops laid his own two eggs was that he was afraid that he would only put one.

However, as soon as the male Triceratops left the eggs, the schizotooth beast came back and hugged the two eggs laid down by the male Triceratops and shook wildly. On the surface, no damage could be seen, but it would never hatch.

Scartodon succeeded in taking revenge on the male Triceratops.

The eggs of the dinosaurs are similar, and it is impossible for Mungo to find that the eggs have been replaced.

The two eggs of Gulu and Mungo were very lucky. The male triceratops just dropped the eggs and was picked up by a female triceratops.

This female triceratops also has its own dragon eggs. When she saw the two dragon eggs left behind, she couldn't control her mother's love and took them back to her nest together.

The female triceratops rubbed the two dragon eggs in distress and said: "Little cubs, your parents are really bad, how could they throw you away, don't worry, I will raise you, my baby eggs, you it's beautiful."

This female triceratops herself has 17 dragon eggs, which is neither too much nor too little for a triceratops. She picked up two more eggs, and she still cherishes each egg very much, including She is afraid of melting in her mouth, and afraid of falling off when she holds it in her hands. She never treats the eggs differently because of the eggs she picked up. She is very kind to every egg.

When Gulu came back from the fight, Mungo told Gulu what happened just now, and Gulu carefully checked the dragon egg again, and he was relieved after confirming that he was not injured.

Meng Ge was very guilty and was depressed all day. Although Long Dan was not injured, he was still very sad. Long Dan was almost injured. As the most powerful Tyrannosaurus rex, he didn't think well of his own dragon egg. What qualifications did he have to be the most powerful? The mighty Tyrannosaurus rex.

In fact, no matter how powerful Tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops are, it is impossible to protect the dragon eggs perfectly. There are too many uncertain factors in the original environment. Before Pado was so powerful, he still lost the dragon eggs, the dragon eggs of Pardo and Babbana. It was also stolen by the scorpion tooth beast, although it was not successful, just like the encounter with Gollum's egg today.

In the past, Gaya loved her eggs so much, and Gaya and Mungo's brothers took turns to take care of the eggs, but there was still no guarantee that the dragon eggs would be safe.

No matter how well protected dragon eggs are, they cannot avoid encountering some special situations.

Fortunately, both Mungo and Gulu's dragon eggs were raised very well, and the schizodon did not harm their eggs, and the two stolen eggs were also raised very well by the female triceratops.

The day after they went up the mountain, it started to rain heavily. It rained continuously for five or six days, and the Dada River burst its banks.

The territories of Gulu and Mungo were very close to the Dada River, and they were all flooded. The fern land that was farther from the Dada River was indeed not flooded, and everything was predicted accurately by Gulu.

Since the male triceratops laid two eggs in Gulu's lair, he often sneaked around to Gulu's clan to observe. The cubs were born later, and he could slowly identify which two or which one was his cub.

As long as you put your own eggs in Mungo's Gollum's lair, the dragon eggs will be contaminated with the breath of Gollum and Mungo, and the cubs born will naturally smell of Gollum and Mungo, and they will never find out. abnormal.

The male triceratops knew that even if his cub didn't look anything like Gollum when he grew up, Gollum and Mungo had raised the cub, and their relationship could not be ignored.

Then he could see his little cub become the most powerful Triceratops under the cultivation of Gollum, which is not too beautiful.

What he didn't know, of course, was that his hopes were long overdue.

Gollum noticed the strange male triceratops, but he didn't think much of it either.

The day after the Dada River burst its banks, earth-shaking changes took place on the mountain.

The weather was clear that day, and when Gulu and Mungo woke up, they were stunned to see everything in front of them.
