Where there is water, creatures will come to drink. This is common sense.
So Big Eye believes that after we get the water, we should leave here as soon as possible.
However, Zhang Ling and I think that it is too late now, even if we leave, we cannot return to the edge of the cliff. We also need to camp in the dense forest. Instead of encountering wild beasts in the dense forest, it is better to guard the pond, at least tomorrow. More drinking water can be taken away.
From the survey results at the edge of the pond, no footprints and bones of large creatures were found, or even signs of biological activity, and the pond was calm.
Zhang Ling initially judged that there was no monster infested, at least not in the past few days, and it was unlikely that there would be a large group of creatures around.
In this regard, Zhang Ling also made several inferences: First, this pond was only temporarily formed, such as a heavy rain, or a dark stream gathered in a low-lying place to form a pond. Once the rain stops, it will soon disappear. ；
Second, the dark stream that merges into a pond is exposed on the surface in other places. It is more convenient to get water in those places, so the surrounding creatures will not gather here, but come only occasionally;
Third, there are one or two terrifying ultimate predators around, here are their private ponds, and other creatures naturally dare not approach them. As for no traces, it is because the mud on the ground is very soft, even if there are footprints, it will disappear quickly, and the dead bones sink under the mud.
Therefore, if Zhang Ling's inference is correct, not only is it not dangerous to stay by the pond, it is also relatively safe.
Because Zhang Ling also believes that even if there is a terrifying ultimate predator, it is enough to arrange a few simple devices as before to facilitate detection and alarm.
I support Zhang Ling's view that the minority obeys the majority. This is what we have always pursued.
After the decision was made, the three of them drank enough water, began to choose a place to camp, and set up the barracks. Zhang Ling began to arrange traps again. Big Eye and I followed our usual practice and carried out reconnaissance within two hundred meters of the camp as usual.
The forest was dark and cold, and the pervasive wind made the huge tree shiver and rustle, making people unconsciously want to close their collars. The ground is covered with tree roots and grass and vines, in addition to puddles of water.
I walked side by side with Big Eye, stepping on the slippery muddy ground, and the sound of footsteps played monotonous drums in the lonely dense forest, hurriedly.
Depressed.
Big eyes said: "It's so quiet here! Look at those trees, many of them are tilted, are they blown by the wind?"
As we walked all the way, there were indeed many leaning giant trees and crushed bushes. I said: "Didn't Zhang Ling say that the pond is rained water, it should be wind blowing."
Big eyes sighed and said, "How much rain and wind will it take to knock down such a thick tree!"
I took it for granted: "It should be no less than the wind on the snowy peak. But even if there is such a strong wind in the virgin forest here, you can't feel it so strong."
Big eyes groaned and said, "But I don't always feel like wind, Anzi, look at the shape of these puddles, do they look like footprints?"
I gestured and said, "No, if it is really a footprint, then the thing is at least three stories high. The creatures here have evolved more, not as huge as the creatures on the bottom of the cliff. And..."
Big eyes slammed their feet and said: "Don't talk! Something is moving!"
There was a faint sound, and I turned my head to see that a small lizard-like creature walking upright on two legs ran out from under the bush and stared at our two huge uninvited guests vigilantly.
I chased a few steps quickly, and said with a smile: "It's the ancestor of the lizard. Relax, don't be surprised."
The little lizard was chased by me, rushed back into the bushes incomparably quickly, and disappeared.
The big eyes let out a sigh, and said, "Go back, we are already more than two hundred meters away."
"it is good!"
We turned around and walked back. As soon as we took a step, there was a wind blowing behind us. We looked up at the sky with big eyes and said, "It won't rain today. If it rains, it would be bad."
I faintly felt that the wind was wrong, so I turned my head subconsciously, and immediately screamed, "Big eyes! Run! Monster!"
Big eyes looked back, and immediately jumped in shock, let go of both legs and ran, shouting: "Mom!"
Behind us is a terrifying big guy, and the wind just breathed out from his mouth.
The thing opened a pair of big copper bell eyes, and its head was as big as a house. As soon as we ran, it straightened up, what a behemoth!
The size is terrible, the height is more than ten meters of bushes!
The huge size and sharp teeth immediately reminded me of the ultimate predator of the Jurassic: Tyrannosaurus!
Although the creature in front of me is not very similar to the one seen in the movie, it is undoubtedly an ultimate predator. It has a crocodile-like mouth, huge canine teeth as sharp as a saber, short and small upper limbs, and a strong and powerful rear. Legs, and a big long tail.
Being stared at by that big guy, I naturally gave birth to prey-like tremors, and then driven by the most primitive instinct, I ran wildly!
Big Eye ran a step ahead of me, but I passed him in just a few seconds.
"Wait for me!" Big eyes shouted wildly.
I paused for a while, took his hand, and continued to run!
The behemoth let out a terrifying roar, bowed its head, and chased us!
I just felt that the earth was trembling, and shouted with big eyes: "It's catching up!"
I looked back and saw that compared with the big guy, we were like rabbits and hunting dogs, but no matter how fast the rabbit runs, it can't be faster than the hunting dog, so the only way is to dodge.
I pulled my big eyes and flashed to the side instinctively. The big guy couldn't hold his body, and directly hit a huge arbor. With a "boom", the giant tree trembled by the brute force and tilted slightly.
Then, the guy raised his head and roared again, swinging his body to the left and right, squeezing away the two giant trees, and rushing towards us again.
I threw out the spear I brought from Shambala village, and the spear hit the monster's cheek, and green plasma was blooming, but this was not deadly enough, it would only make it more angry!
"Wow..."
When it screamed, Big Eye and I hid behind a tree trunk. My hand holding Big Eye shook a little, and kept admonishing myself: "Calm down, Chen An, you must calm down! That guy has nothing but volume. Great, nothing terrible, nothing terrible, you must have a way to get out, there must be a way!"
The earth shook, and the big monster squeezed the giant tree we were hiding aside, and Big Eye and I were exposed in the clearing. I immediately shouted, "Run separately!"
Now is not the time when one plus one equals two. Even if Big Eye and I work together, there are undoubtedly two bean sprouts in front of the monster, just enough to stuff our teeth!
Rather than stuffing its teeth between the two together, it's better to run separately and count as one if you run away!
Big Eye turned to the left and I turned right. I ran all the way. Looking back, the guy didn't chase Big Eye, but chased me, and he was only a dozen meters away from me!
