Chapter 2387: Atavism
Nie Tian stared at the three cubs in front of him, stunned for several seconds, and couldn't react for a long time.
He never thought that there were three cubs of Triceratops bull in the cave.
At this moment, the three cubs curled up tightly together, and even carried a bloody smell on their bodies. The breath was very weak, as if it could disappear at any time.
After a long time, Nie Tian finally calmed down, exhaled a deep breath, and understood everything in his heart.
He finally knew why the Triceratops bull was so determined to die, and before dying, it still had a pleading look.
The Triceratops bull obviously wanted to use its own death in exchange for the lives of the three children.
It was willing to sacrifice itself and use its own life as the price to let Nie Tian let go of its three cubs.
The Triceratops bull was seriously injured, and it must have known that even if it persisted, it would definitely not be Nie Tian's opponent, so it simply died.
Nie Tian didn't expect that the truth about the Triceratops bull's desire to die was actually like this.
This made him regretful, as if he shouldn't have killed the Triceratops bull.
He now understood why the gentle Triceratops bull suddenly went berserk. It turned out that it was to protect its cubs.
"Why was the Triceratops bull so badly injured?" Nie Tian pondered. He still didn't understand who had severely injured the Triceratops bull.
"The Triceratops bull's injury was caused by itself." At this time, the voice of the little fat cat sounded, and the tone was also a little solemn.
"Itself-inflicted?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the little fat cat meant.
The figure of the little fat cat appeared, looking at the three dragon bull cubs, and said: "These three little guys are premature. The Triceratops bull tore open its abdomen and gave birth to three cubs."
"This..." Nie Tian was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.
No wonder the three little guys in front of him had a bloody smell.
"Why did the mother dragon cow do this?" Nie Tian calmed down a little and asked in horror.
He could never have imagined that the Triceratops bull actually tore open its abdomen and gave birth to three cubs.
But he didn't understand why the Triceratops bull did this?
"One of these three little guys is abnormal. If it is not born in advance, it will definitely die." The little fat cat spoke solemnly, staring at one of the little dragon bulls.
"Abnormal?" Nie Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully and finally found the abnormality.
Two of the three little dragon bulls have three meat ball-like protrusions on their heads, which should be three small horns.
And the other little dragon bull has nine meat ball-like protrusions on its head side by side.
"This?" Nie Tian frowned and froze.
Of course, a triceratops bull should have three horns.
But one of the little dragon bulls actually has nine horns. What's going on?
"This should be a kind of atavism mutation." The little fat cat said solemnly with a tight gaze.
But he didn't want to explain too much, but looked at Nie Tian and said, "Nie Tian, these three little guys are very weak, you help them stabilize their breath first."
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded heavily, then released the power of the source of the earth veins, and slowly input it into the three little dragon bulls.
He felt a little guilty about the mother dragon cow.
If he had known earlier that there were three cubs behind the triceratops bull, he would never have killed them.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
After a while, the three little dragon cows gradually stabilized their breath, slowly opened their eyes, and the first face they saw was Nie Tian.
The three little guys were very lively, and they jumped up directly, jumping non-stop, trying to pounce on Nie Tian.
Nie Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Three little guys, I am the enemy who killed your mother."
The little fat cat heard what Nie Tian said and comforted him, "Nie Tian, even if you didn't take action just now, the triceratops bull would have died."
"She used her life to exchange for the lives of three children. This was her own choice."
"You just need to take good care of the three little guys and don't feel guilty about her choice."
Nie Tian took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "I will protect the three little guys."
Things have already happened, and there is no use regretting.
And the situation just now was actually a fight to the death.
If Nie Tian was weaker, he would have died at the hands of Triceratops.
Triceratops asked for death, which was her own choice.
The only thing Nie Tian could do now was to respect this choice.
"Xiao Fei, take the three little guys into Jiuji." Nie Tian calmed down and said lightly.
Xiao Feimao agreed and took the three little dragon cows into Jiuji.
"The strength of Triceratops is too strong. The mother dragon cow was so seriously injured, but she was still able to hurt me. It's really scary." Nie Tian frowned and muttered when he thought of the battle just now.
The combat power of Triceratops was indeed beyond Nie Tian's expectations.
Even a severely injured Triceratops made Nie Tian feel difficult.
It is hard to imagine how terrifying the combat power of a Triceratops in its peak state would be if it went berserk.
"And there's that little triceratops mutated little dragon bull, which actually has nine horns. When this little guy grows up, it will probably be more terrifying than the ordinary Triceratops bull." Nie Tian suddenly thought of the mutated little dragon bull, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he smiled.
The three little dragon bulls are just newborn cubs. It is unknown how long it will take for them to grow up.
Nie Tian shook his head and walked out of the cave.
He came to the sea valley, his figure fell on the body of the Triceratops bull, and took out the latter's beast core.
Since the Triceratops bull is dead, the beast core must not be wasted.
After getting the beast core of the Triceratops bull, Nie Tian prepared to leave.
"Hmm?" But at this moment, his eyes suddenly tightened, as if he had discovered something.
"It's here!" At the same time, a voice sounded outside the Dragon Fish Valley, and a warrior pointed at the Dragon Fish Valley and said.
If Nie Tian was here, he would be able to see at a glance that the warrior who spoke was the hunter Yuan Wei from the fourth main city who was rescued by him before.
At this moment, Yuan Wei went back, but he was not alone.
There were more than a dozen hunters around him, two of whom Nie Tian was very familiar with, Yuan Lie from the fourth main city and Bai Fengming from the second main city.
"Yuan Wei, are you sure there is a seriously injured Triceratops bull here?" Yuan Lie looked at the Dragon Fish Valley and spoke coldly.
The reason why he appeared here was because Yuan Wei told him that there was a severely injured Triceratops bull here.
But now, he did not sense the breath of the Triceratops bull.
"Sir, the Triceratops bull is in the sea valley, you will know if you go in and take a look." Yuan Wei said respectfully and carefully.
"No need to go and see, the Triceratops bull is dead." But at this moment, a voice came from the sea valley, and then a figure stepped out.
"Nie Tian!" Yuan Lie and Bai Fengming saw the person in front of them clearly, and they were stunned at the same time, shouting each other's names in surprise.
