Shao Xuan and Tuo have been staring at the river.
Compared with Shao Xuan, Tuo was a little further away from the river. He knew the shortest distance he could get close to. Therefore, he didn't dare to take risks. After so many years of hunting, he knew where the safety range was when facing which level of beasts. He didn't dare to take risks.
There was another sound coming from the direction of the Kou tribe. It seemed that the patrolling members of the Kou tribe encountered the beasts, but those did not distract Shao Xuan, and he still focused on the movement by the river.
After about an hour, there was a little insect noise around, and it became quiet again.
coming!
Shao Xuan and Tuo, who were hidden in the tree, were tight in their hearts, and every pore on their bodies was forcibly closed, not revealing a trace of breath, even if the wind direction would hide their smell better, but in addition to the smell, there were also people's auras and auras. Fluctuations in power, and what level of crisis they are about to face, they know what they are, and dare not be careless.
The sound of water waves sounded, and there seemed to be something in the river swimming toward the shore, and the part above the water had water traces, reflecting the moonlight.
Shao Xuan looked over, and there was a strange shape on the river under the moonlight. For a while, he really couldn't tell what it was. He only knew that it should be a big guy, because behind the exposed part, there was a long stretch on the river. The long water pattern may be caused by the back of the thing in the water. A rough estimate is about ten meters. As for the length of the part that cannot be seen underwater and does not have obvious water patterns, Shao Xuan is temporarily unable to know. , he doesn't dare to look over there wantonly now, shrewd beasts are very sensitive to sight.
Shao Xuan slowed down and looked at it from a different perspective. This time, Shao Xuan was really shocked.
The river, leaves, etc. disappeared, only the stones and branches showed different shades of gray, and the world seemed to have lost its skin, leaving only a faint shape and a clear skeleton. And over there, a huge animal bone is approaching here.
How big is it
Shao Xuan couldn't be sure, but if he just looked at the skeleton, it could be more than 20 meters long on the ground.
Looking at the skeleton purely, it looks like an elongated lizard, but its neck is much longer than that of the lizard, so that it can put its head above the water, while the body is all underwater, with thick bones and hind limbs facing back together, the body is like a crocodile When swinging and paddling like that, the bones of the forelimbs are thinner than those of the hindlimbs.
Shao Xuan distinguished it. In his field of vision, there was not only the head of the giant beast, but also a smaller beast bone. It's just that the smaller animal bone was held by the giant beast.
When the giant beast was about to reach the river, Shao Xuan's eyes dropped and he stopped staring there.
The next moment, there seemed to be a fierce and sharp line of sight swept across. Although the line of sight was invisible, Shao Xuan felt as if an invisible cold knife had scratched his body.
That was the glance of the giant beast before it landed on the shore. The reason why Shao Xuan avoided his sight in advance was to prevent the sight of the giant beast from meeting. Once they meet, no matter how well Shao Xuan hides, he cannot avoid the detection of the giant beast. This is Shao Xuan's intuition, that giant beast definitely has that kind of ability.
Shao Xuan rarely felt this way after hunting fierce beasts for so many years. That giant beast was a fierce beast. There is no doubt that it came from the forest on the other side of the river. Shao Xuan felt that this beast would be more troublesome.
It's not that he has never hunted bigger beasts. The bones used as decorations for the venue during the Yanhe feast, the teeth used to decorate the facade, etc., are all huge beasts, but Shao Xuan has a feeling. , this one will be more troublesome to hunt, and if you are not careful, you may even lose yourself.
The two people hiding in the tree did not dare to come out, as if they had turned into stones.
After that line of sight swept over, he came to the shore without finding any change.
Shao Xuan looked over and saw that the giant beast did not come ashore, but just put the smaller beast in its mouth on the shore, because the huge body could not be completely hidden in the shallow water on the shore, so, Even without a special vision, Shao Xuan could see its body out of the water.
Its body is patterned, like water plants in the river, and the color of the back and belly is different. Even if the torso is not completely exposed, you can see something by looking at its neck.
The darker back with less obvious lines, and the lighter ventral side, this color combination is a camouflage color for the top and bottom, making it harder to spot when it swims in the river. Its body surface is not smooth, and the raised part is stained with water, reflecting the silvery moonlight, and it seems to have a metallic chill. Fighting shield. Above the head there is an elongated hard bone that resembles horns, but is not as distinct as the horns.
Although Shao Xuan still couldn't see the whole picture of the giant beast, but only the exposed part, combined with its overall skeleton, speculated that it was a powerful chasing beast!
Such a powerful beast, but sneakily approaching the river bank in the middle of the night, what is he afraid of? Or is there another purpose
It clearly has sharp-edged teeth, but when it was holding the little beast, it did not exert any force. Shao Xuan could see that it was avoiding hurting the little beast.
If this is the only case, it may make people think that a mother beast is carrying the cubs, however, this is not the case.
Shao Xuan didn't know whether this giant beast was female or male, but he was sure that the little beast it was holding was not the same species as it! That little beast is not a cub, just a smaller beast. It is already an adult beast. It is a mammalian carnivore with a body size of over three meters. Shao Xuan also hunted it when he was hunting in the forest. A beast with a mild temperament, on the contrary, these beasts are ferocious and bloodthirsty!
The little beast that was caught was motionless, its limbs stiff, as if it were dead.
After the giant beast put it on the shore, it looked in one direction on the shore.
Shao Xuan's eyelids jumped, that's where the Ku tribe is!
Is this a feud with the Kou tribe
It's been less than a year since the Great River disappeared, how could the Kou tribe provoke such a vicious beast
The giant beast looked in that direction for a long time, and then his eyes suddenly swept around, and the murderous aura that suddenly burst out was several times stronger than the one before landing! The evening wind seemed to be disturbed, and more leaves in the woods were blown up.
There was dead silence all around.
slack-
The voice is very small, but it is particularly prominent in this dead silence. People with good ears can hear it all at once.
The giant beast retracted its gaze and lowered its head to look at the small beast that was shaking its legs on the grass by the shore. The rustling sound was made by rubbing the grass when it trembled.
wow—
Without looking at the shore again, the giant beast dived into the water and left. The sound of the water waves was not loud, and it was not comparable to the sound of the wind pushing the water waves against the river bank.
When he left, the giant beast did not need to hold anything in his mouth, and his entire body dived into the water, and the long ripples on the water surface became shallower and disappeared.
The oppressive dead silence dissipated, and in the grass, the sound of insects sounded tentatively, intermittently and cautiously. The shore is back to normal again.
The little beast that was originally lying on the grass turned over and rushed into the woods like the wind, for fear that it would die if it slowed down.
