Chapter 151. Jurassic (5) Survival of the Fittest

   【Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for completing the main task 2: Maintain the order of the space before entering the dungeon, prevent the egg liquid from being snatched, strength attribute +1, agility attribute +1, constitution attribute +1. 】

   【The dungeon is being released…】

     Ten minutes later, when the last survivor had just eaten half of the eggshell and egg liquid, the system sound rang again, and in an instant, all the survivor dinosaurs and their props, the eggshells and egg liquid that the survivor dinosaurs had not eaten all disappeared in the white space.

     100% of the new survivors are group dinosaur eggs.

     Some survivors may appear in a large pile of dinosaur eggs of almost the same size and similar attributes. The dinosaur eggs next door are brothers and sisters in their tribe. Some have already broken their shells, some are still breaking their shells, and some are already dead eggs.

     At this time, countless behemoths appeared in the eyes of the survivors. These behemoths held them in their mouths, but did not swallow them. They would also lick their entire bodies with their tongues. They might be their parents in this dungeon.

     Collective life is the primary shelter prepared by the system for the new survivors. When they are born, there are dinosaurs preparing food for them, but the process and the food preparation itself are a bit special.

     First of all, the native dinosaurs have no intelligence. They have the same brains as animals in modern society.

     Carnivorous dinosaurs will swallow the internal organs of another dinosaur in front of the dinosaur cubs, and then bite off or tear other parts into meat of appropriate size, and finally put the meat in the mouth of the little dinosaur. The eating scene is indeed very bloody.

     Survival of the fittest.

     The bite ability of carnivorous dinosaurs is originally a necessary weapon for their survival. Most carnivorous dinosaurs will swallow the remaining dead eggs or bite them into pieces when the little dinosaurs come out of the eggshells, and share the egg liquid and eggshells with other hungry little dinosaurs.

     As for the dead little dinosaurs, whether they are eaten or not doesn’t matter, as they won’t provide any energy.

     Those egg liquids and eggshells that the survivors disdain don’t have to worry about sales either, the free local large and small dinosaurs will take care of them.

     Herbivorous dinosaurs may not be so bloody. They simply pick up the little dinosaurs and place them in a pile of grass or leaves, lick them, and let them eat grass on their own.

     “…”

     It sounds like the little dinosaurs fed by their parents are really happy, but Jurassic will not raise dinosaurs that rely on their parents. They must learn to hunt or find food by themselves in a limited room.

     And their first test in the copy comes from the group.

     First of all, if they don’t eat the food they are fed, not to mention the problem of hunger, they may be disliked or abandoned by the big dinosaurs.

     Also, dinosaurs that are injured or die from reckless behavior in the white space have a 95% or higher chance of being abandoned, due to human thinking, dinosaurs that cannot learn to swim or fly may drown or fall to their deaths, dinosaurs that cannot learn to crawl, if they fall behind more than three times, may be permanently left behind…

     For example, a small detail:

     Even dinosaur blindness might be a terminal illness.

     If you cannot recognize or smell your true relatives among a group of dinosaurs, it could also be a dangerous thing, because in an emergency, other dinosaurs may not protect you.

     In short, the survivors, the little dinosaurs, stumbled and learned to survive in this world under the protection of the big dinosaurs.

     …

     Unlike the newcomers, 95% of the internal test survivors were lonely eggs.

     Ye Mo appeared in a crack in the blink of an eye, and looked at the two cockroaches in surprise.

     Yes, black cockroaches.

     Wow, two flying southern cockroaches.

     Cockroaches are creatures that predate dinosaurs. The ancient cockroach fossils from the Silurian period 400 million years ago were less than 1cm in length, about the same size as today’s cockroaches.

     With no evolution or regression, they’ve always been weak but resilient.

     Apart from the cockroaches, it was very quiet around. Her keen hearing could barely pick up any sounds, but even in the crevice, she could still feel waves of heat.

     Ye Mo directly used mental piercing on the two ancient cockroaches, and then used her mental power to throw them further away from herself. Even though they looked very similar to real-world cockroaches, she still had a stereotypical aversion to them.

     Then, she climbed out of the crevice.

     She stopped just before exiting the crevice, using her Eagle-Eye vision to scout. Unsurprisingly, her vision immediately extended to a thousand miles.

     She was in a rocky wasteland. The rocks on the ground were red and yellow, high and low, circles and squares. Looking down from above, it was quite beautiful. It was a special landform that could be used as a computer screensaver.

     But in this rocky wasteland, whether it was animals or plants, there were very few creatures.

     Ye Mo thought of the mass extinction.

     Mass extinctions refer to large-scale cluster extinctions, also known as biological extinctions, characterized by the complete disappearance of entire families, orders, or even classes of organisms within a short period, or only a very few surviving.

     Biological extinctions have a certain periodicity. According to scientists’ research, they occur approximately every 62 million years, equivalent to the doomsday of the biological world, and very few organisms can survive doomsday.

     The above is what Watson taught them.

     Because the Jurassic period was between the Triassic and Cretaceous periods, it began after the end of the Permian period, which saw the first major extinction event with over 96% species loss, and ultimately ended with the second most severe mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period.

     Since this is a dinosaur evolution scenario, it’s very likely to be one of the mass extinction phases, rather than a golden age with abundant food.

     Ye Mo didn’t know what the situation was for others, but her environment looked very much like the legendary mass extinction period, just unsure whether it was the end of the Permian or the end of the Cretaceous.

     Ye Mo put on a grass-green outfit thinking she would be in a primeval forest, but unexpectedly, she ended up in this kind of place.

     It’s okay, there’s also a yellow little outfit, a little headscarf, but the little claw covers, forget about those, they’d be inconvenient.

     …

     The danger of the food chain was temporarily far away from Ye Mo. She got out of the cracks in the rocks, and was hit by a wave of heat.

     It was daytime, the sky was a pure blue, cloudless, and there were five suns, red-orange, of varying sizes, feeling very close compared to the modern sun.

     Yes, five suns.

     Upon closer observation, there was actually only one.

     The other suns were mirages refracted by the regular hexagonal ice crystals in the sky, which at least indicated that the Jurassic atmosphere was different from the modern world’s atmosphere.

     Because the suns were scorching the earth, the outside temperature was around 60℃, the ground temperature was close to 75℃, and the rocks inside were baked very hot. Under such high temperature evaporation, it was very easy to have severe water loss problems.

     Moreover, with such high temperatures, it was really doubtful whether ordinary water could quench thirst.

     However, Ye Mo did not leave for the time being, but instead went back into the crevice.

     Inside the rock crevice, besides the rocks, there was also some yellow-black soil, which was obviously much softer compared to the outside, and the temperature in this rock crevice was two or three degrees lower than the outside.

     Ye Mo looked at her foot claws, then at her little hand claws, and decisively used her foot claws to dig a hole.

     After digging for a minute, the rock crevice cooled down by a few degrees, and a very noticeable cool breeze came up from below.

     Ye Mo continued to dig.

     The deeper she dug, the more coolness she felt in the rock crevice. After more than ten minutes, she finally saw water. This water had a very strong spiritual energy, so she quickly took out a cup to collect it.

    She took out a water quality and water energy testing instrument. This testing instrument had Watson’s suggestions on its functions and principles. After all, he was very professional about things that entered the body and had been to the ancient Wu era.

     Inspection result:

     Edible for her physique.

     Ye Mo took a sip. Dinosaurs need to tilt the faucet to drink water and pour the water into their mouths. It is sweet and refreshing. When the water enters the throat, it not only moistens the throat, but also makes the whole body feel very comfortable and cool.

     Because the spirit of this water is too rich, you can’t drink too much, otherwise you may get drunk like wild giant pandas, that is, indigestion, slow movement and drunkenness.

     After drinking a small cup, stop and continue to dig water.

     The water in the pit was getting more and more, including about 1000 ml of water that she drank and less than two bottles of Nongfu Mountain Spring. At this time, the rocks were blocking the pit a little, so she had to kick the rocks away.

     She kept digging and soon reached the spring.

     There was 3000 ml of water here, which came from a water spirit stone that had exhausted most of its energy. It might have been jade essence before, but it has been in such an environment for too long, and now it is not even as good as ordinary spirit jade.

     Ye Mo put the water spirit stone into the storage space, put it together with the wood jade essence, and continued to collect water.

     At this moment, she noticed something strange.

     It was not from the ground, but from the sky. Three huge pterosaurs appeared in the field of vision.

     Their two wings were larger than the area of the rocks that had just been removed. When they opened their mouths to scream, their two long fangs were very conspicuous, and below them were two feet and three claws that were extremely sharp.

     Black, water attribute. No wonder they could smell the water spirit at such a long distance. The dinosaurs of this era were really strong, at least in terms of sensitivity, not inferior to the giants in Norse mythology.

     But there was still a difference in size.

     Ye Mo, who had experienced Norse mythology, did not flee in panic. She continued to use her mental power to collect the remaining little water. Because it was water, a fluid, it was a bit complicated to collect.

     Of course, she still sped up a bit.

     The three unknown pterosaurs had very good eyesight. They saw a strange, khaki-colored little thing digging a pit from a distance. They howled to the sky and sped up.

     Only when they looked closer did they realize that it was actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex cub wrapped in an unknown thing!

     The water spirit gradually faded. Could it be that this abominable Tyrannosaurus Rex drank all the water?

     They were more inclined to believe that the water was still under the ground.

     Just as the three pterosaurs were about to swoop down, they saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub dive headfirst into the pit it dug, getting deeper and deeper, leaving them with only a small black hole.

     “Screech!”

     A pterosaur squawked, and then three huge pterosaurs surrounded the bottomless black hole. As the one that squawked looked into the black hole, whoosh, an arrow suddenly shot out from inside.
