Chapter 1530 The Food Chain by the Lake
The male horror beast bitten by the blood mosquito felt a slight itching on the neck and felt a little uncomfortable, so he twisted his neck and tried to scratch the part bitten by the mosquito with his short forelimbs, but unfortunately the blood mosquito spy happened to be out of reach Location.
The Horror Beast roared depressingly, and looked up at the forest in the distance.
When encountering itchy skin, it always finds a big tree and rubs it on the rough bark to relieve the itching.
However, it was hungry at this time, and a little itching on the neck seemed less unbearable than enjoying the sumptuous meal in front of it.
Considering that this area is not safe, there may be carnivorous dinosaurs wandering over at any time, snatching the Protoceratops that it had finally hunted, this fearful beast finally made a rational choice - no longer pay attention to the beast lying on its neck Blood-sucking mosquitoes continue to bury their heads in eating.
While the dire beast was sucking the flesh and blood of Protoceratops, it was also being sucked blood by blood mosquitoes.
The blood sucked by the blood mosquito is not to meet its own survival needs, but to carry out Joan's order to collect blood samples for the owner's research.
When Joan realized this food chain, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling...
The blood mosquito sucked up the blood on the terrifying beast, and flew back to Qiao An, whistling.
Joan touched the storage bag, took out a thumb-sized glass reagent bottle, unscrewed the cork, let the blood mosquito land on the edge of the bottle, and squeezed the collected blood sample into the bottle.
When the distended belly of the blood mosquito returned to flatness, the blood accumulated in the reagent bottle was just over half.
Qiao An was in the wild, and it was inconvenient to carry out complicated experimental operations, so he drew a "power of myth" and directly applied the "myth analysis technique" to the blood sample in the bottle.
A soft red light escapes from the mouth of the bottle, and a set of magic marks appear in it.
After a little observation, Joan found that the configuration of this group of magic imprints was very familiar, and it was 60 to 70% similar to the "acid dragon's breath" he had analyzed from the blood sample of the black dragon Li Xini.
It can be seen that the supernatural ability of the horror beast to erupt acid from the "brain hole" is similar to the black dragon's "acid dragon's breath" in terms of generation principle.
After further analysis, Qiao An found that the acid of the Horror Beast had two spray modes.
The first mode is cone-shaped scattering, with a maximum range of 30 feet, causing an average of 6 energy levels of corrosion damage to all creatures within the attack range that are sprayed - this is the method used when the male Horror beast frightened a large group of Protoceratops before Spray pattern.
The second mode is "Cluster Jet", the acid is excited in a ray, and the maximum range is about 60 feet. Since a large amount of acid is concentrated on a target, the acid damage caused by the hit is higher than that of the "Scatter Mode". About 10 energy levels - this is the attack mode that the female dire beast used to ambush the single Protoceratops just now.
The Horror Beast cannot frequently use this supernatural ability. After each spray of acid, it takes at least half an hour of accumulation before the body can synthesize enough acid to sustain a new round of spray.
During this period, the Horror Beast must also eat its stomach. After all, the synthesis of acid involves a series of energy-intensive bioalchemy reactions, and the Horror Beast needs to absorb nutrients from the outside to provide the necessary raw materials and energy for the synthesis of acid.
If you don’t consider these restrictions and only look at the lethality caused by the acid sprayed by the dire beast, it is not even inferior to an adult black dragon. It is no wonder that a strong protoceratops did not escape much after being sprayed with acid twice on its vitals. Yuan's hair was injured and he fell to the ground, and the body that was sprayed by acid was quickly corroded into a puddle of pus and blood.
...
Joan was hanging in the air, and it was inconvenient to copy the magic imprint, so he suppressed the "myth analysis technique", capped the bottle, and put the blood collection bottle back into the storage bag.
Next, he took out the "photography mirror", chose the best angle in the air, and took a close-up of the dire beasts who were burying their heads in sucking the dissolved flesh and blood of Protoceratops, and saved it on the mirror.
When you find time, transfer the pictures on the mirror surface to paper as archive materials. This image can be used as an illustration for future papers related to the ecology of the area around Lake Aosta.
Joan took a satisfactory close-up and was about to retract his wings and descend to join his companions when suddenly there was a rumbling sound from behind the northern hillside, which sounded like heavy footsteps.
Joan's curiosity was aroused by the abnormal movement, and he flapped his wings to lift his flight altitude. Looking over the hill, he saw a giant beast striding towards the lake from a distance.
After a little observation, Joan recognized that it was an adult Tyrannosaurus rex. The smooth and hard dark green scales on its back glistened in the sunlight. It was 40 feet long from head to tail. It walked upright with a pair of thick lower limbs like piers, like a Green hills that are moving fast.
Every step forward of this behemoth is always accompanied by earthquake-like footsteps, with a weight of more than 100,000 pounds, leaving a series of huge footprints deep in the mud behind it.
Compared with the huge size of this Tyrannosaurus rex, its pair of front paws are too small, and it seems to be just a useless decoration.
This is not the first time Joan has witnessed a Tyrannosaurus.
More than a month ago in his hometown of Delin Town, Joan helped the lizardmen ambush the goblin army. The reason why the hobgoblin lord Leto is known as the "Dinosaur Conqueror" is because he tamed a Tyrannosaurus rex as a mount.
However, compared with the tyrannosaurus in front of him, Letu's mount is obviously a little smaller, and it does not give people a sense of deterrence.
Joan released a mental wave and ordered the blood mosquito spy to fly to the Tyrannosaurus rex so that he could use the blood mosquito's eyes to observe the vicious giant beast up close.
The tiny blood mosquito was safe in front of this gigantic monster. Following Joan's instructions, it flew towards the tyrannosaurus head-on, and finally landed on top of the opponent's head.
The Tyrannosaurus rex didn't notice the little insect at all, and still strode forward, bypassing the hills, wading through the low and sparse bushes, sometimes hanging its huge head, sniffing the scent of the prey in the bushes.
In fact, apart from a very small number of even larger super-giant theropod dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex is almost the top predator in the Aosta Lake area, the overlord at the top of the food chain in nature, and any living thing that enters his vision, Basically all prey available for predation.
At this time, the tyrannosaurus had bypassed the hills and appeared in the open area by the lake, which was about a mile away from where Joan was. However, the huge body and heavy footsteps had already aroused the vigilance of the nearby birds and beasts, and they all fled and avoided.
The two terrifying beasts who were still buried in their food were also startled by the sound of the Tyrannosaurus rex's footsteps, and turned their heads to look at the huge figure coming through the forest, showing a hesitant expression.
Survival instincts warned them to slip away quickly, but they were not full yet, and they were reluctant to give up the big meal in front of them, hoping that the tyrannosaur would not approach them with a fluke mentality.
