Apocalyptic Dark Age

At this moment, invisible ferocious flames suddenly erupted from Piaomiao's body, causing the hostile armored horses to pee in fear. The ones closest to her were so frightened that they lay on the ground unable to move. The herd kept echoing with the sound of chewing the grass. The sound of grinding teeth suddenly disappeared at this moment, as if falling into absolute silence.

Then Piaomiao put away the dangerous aura and continued to move forward. The armored horses gave way repeatedly, and they were ready to run away in a commotion. Dahua quickly followed behind with Spider, until they passed three groups of armored horses in a row, the beast gave way. The group became quiet again and lowered their heads to eat the grass again.

Piaomiao and the spiders confirmed from the side that they were not hostile to the beasts, which prevented the timid beasts from collapsing like last night, but that was all. All the armored horses in front of them automatically gave way to the wide gaps, as if There is some way of exchanging information between them, and they know that the peak is not to be messed with.

The cooperation of the armored horses made Piaomiao's progress speed up again, leading seven spiders to quickly intersperse among the herds. At first, they could still see the blank grassland, but when they got to the back, there were densely packed armored horses everywhere, and even their sense of direction was lost. Lost, let alone found the way you came.

Fortunately, Gao Feng brought a night vision device with a ranging system and a directional positioning system. Every time he matched the route Piao Miao took, he found that they were advancing in a straight line. In the process of advancing, the uniform armored horses Gao Feng lost the novelty at the beginning. They all looked the same no matter how they looked. In the end, they were too lazy to look at them and began to see different creatures in the herd.

Not to mention, Gao Feng really found a lot of them. In the grass at the feet of the armored horse, there were countless creatures active. The weirdest among them was a creature that was similar to a frog but stood on two legs.

Although these creatures look nothing like humans, their behavior is not much different from humans. They are just like the residents of Lilliput, busy among the beasts, whether they are running or jumping, They are no different from humans when it comes to moving, catching and releasing, and are even more flexible, working hard in the dunghill of armored horses.

These industrious little things are like cleaning robots. They work hard in the dung pile, break it down into peanut-sized balls, and pack them away. The things packed are relatively light broad-faced grass blades. The leaves were bitten into the shape of willow leaves, and the black excrement balls were neatly stacked on top, rolled up on both sides, held on the back shoulders, and carried away like coolies.

Seeing this scene, Gao Feng was confused. His thoughts were like white and yellow eggs thrown into a stirrer, and he completely lost his previous calmness. Is this going to go against the will of heaven? The use of tools is a preliminary characteristic of intelligent creatures. If these little things learn to use fire, wouldn't a new civilized race appear?

"Fortunately, they eat shit. Who knows what will happen?"

Gao Feng comforted himself hypnotically in his heart. He was not afraid of the beasts being powerful, but he was afraid that the beasts understood culture. Once mature, the two populations would collide and compete for each other's living space. Gao Feng could not imagine that humans would not be able to adapt. Extinct due to new environment, powerful creatures on the earth have been destroyed more than once or twice.

These toad people who have been marked as danger by the peak do not understand that they are being remembered and are working hard. Because they are too small, even digging manure is very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will be crushed by the hooves of armored horses. Once an accident occurs, little toads who specialize in rescue will rush up and carry away the body without leaving any traces on the grass.

Gao Feng was carefully examining the possibility of the continued evolution of this strange creature. Suddenly, the beasts in front became frightened and started to commotion. Then they heard a miserable howl. The howl made Gao Feng alert. At this time, the beasts started to rush from the Spider Team Run past on both sides, revealing the situation ahead.

A beast that looks like a cheetah and has fangs like a saber-toothed tiger is attacking the lone armored horse. This beast is only three-quarters of the height of the armored horse. Only a pair of foot-long sharp teeth are slightly threatening on its entire body. The armored horse is like a heavily armored warrior. The battle between the two sides is equivalent to the collision between an assassin and a tank. There is no comparison at all. But the problem is that the armored horse is the one being hunted.

The armor of the armored horse protects itself tightly, and it seems that there is no flaw. However, the saber-toothed beast slyly walks behind the armored horse's butt, and occasionally digs its claws around the armored horse's anus. This is the most cunning thing. This is a tactic used only by ferocious beasts, specifically to deal with creatures with strong defenses. Once the anus is dug out, the intestines will be pulled out, and even if the armored horse struggles again, it will die helplessly.

This tactic consumes the most time and energy. Once the saber-toothed beast's physical strength is exhausted before the armored horse, everything done before will be in vain. Therefore, this hunting method usually involves two cooperation, leaving the armored horse to ignore its head. tail.

Gao Feng didn't want to rescue the armored horse. Judging from the fierce panting of the armored horse back and forth in defense, it was an old armored horse. Survival of the fittest is the essence of nature. He was about to move forward, but he didn't expect the saber-toothed tiger to perform for him. Once the plank road was built openly, Chen Cang was secretly visited.

The armored horse suddenly turned around, and its hoof accidentally slipped, causing a negligible flaw. The saber-toothed beast suddenly pounced on it, changing its previous fighting method. It slapped a claw on the armored horse's legs and feet that were unstable due to slippage. The timing was just right. Not more than a second, not less than a millisecond, with the help of the armored horse's own weight, the deviation of the center of gravity was aggravated, and it staggered to one side, and was about to collapse.

At this moment, the beast bites the armored horse's only carapaceless throat with its foot-long fangs like lightning. Gao Feng can even clearly see the bloody mouth that has been enlarged to the limit due to the length of the teeth. A pair of sharp teeth are like daggers. It penetrated the armored horse's throat, bit and tore violently, and immediately tore off a piece of flesh and blood connected to the trachea. The armored horse died in the shortest possible time, and the blood spurted out instantly moistened the grass beneath it, and the strong smell of blood filled the air. Spreading in the air, the saber-toothed beast stepped on the fallen carapace of the armored horse with its front paws. While panting, it looked warily around, especially at the peaks and spiders that were within twenty meters.

The little thing sat calmly in Gao Feng's arms, looked at the huge beast, sniffed the smell of blood in the air, and turned around disdainfully. He had no idea about low-quality blood like armor. Piao Miao glanced at the beast warningly and continued. Walking forward, I didn't even bother to look at the big flowers. This level of hunting was like a baby fighting to the spiders.

The straight line along the peak is not the core of the herd. Millions of herds walk on thousands of square kilometers of grasslands. There is no detailed decomposition line between the edge and the core. Therefore, this kind of hunting occurs at the edge of the herd. , I saw it no less than dozens of times throughout the night, and this was just what he saw. If it were placed on the entire grassland, no one knows how many there would be, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands.

The whole night was spent in the process of marching. The spider led the peak along the upper reaches of the river. There were countless animals drinking water along the way. There were also countless creatures hidden in the river that was wider than the Yangtze River. A few days ago, in the clear water, you could occasionally see illusive luminous creatures swimming in the water, but he didn't think that beauty meant safety. He saw creatures drinking water more than once, and they were attracted by the magical luster and deviated. The safe spot in the shallow water was swallowed up by the large mouth that suddenly broke through the water surface.

When the dawn of day came, the night hunting came to an end. The day's hunting had not yet begun. The faint smell of blood that filled the air had been washed away by the mist. A fairyland-like rolling white mist rose from the clear river, covering both sides. The riverbanks are covered, with creatures looming in the mist and bright exotic flowers and plants interspersed, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.
