Epoch of Twilight

With the monitor lizard's huge size and its agility as high as 15 points, even if it walks slowly, its speed is not slow at all.

Every time he turned over a mountain, Luo Yuan quickly drew a sketch on the bark according to the terrain. The terrain here is too complicated. Sometimes they encounter some particularly steep peaks or cliffs, and they have to go around far away. Without comparison and correction again and again, I am afraid that they will soon get lost in this endless forest. .

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the monitor lizard walked into a valley with cliffs and jagged rocks on both sides, and the valley was very deep. Along the way, there was a clear downward slope, so it might as well be called a canyon.

The air here is humid and humid. Even in the afternoon of a hot day, the air is still filled with a damp mist. A huge broad-leaved forest is lush and growing vigorously. There is a huge gap between them.

…………

"Look, Boss Luo, is that a footprint?" Huo Dong said suddenly, his voice trembling.

Luo Yuan hurriedly looked in the direction Huo Dong pointed, his face suddenly became serious, and he saw several pairs of huge pits nearly two meters wide in front of him. Up to one meter, the bottom reveals a claw-like shape, which is undoubtedly a footprint.

Luo Yuan quickly stopped the giant lizard, his face was heavy, even the sea creatures he had seen last time did not have such huge footprints. Compared with it, the monitor lizard's footprints are a bit miniature.

He couldn't imagine how huge this creature was.

Everyone turned pale, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed a little tense.

"How about we go around?" Huang Jiahui said suddenly.

Luo Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This area is almost full of cliffs, no matter how bad it is, it is a steep slope. If you want to take a long detour, I don't know how far you will have to detour."

If there is any weakness of the monitor lizard, it is that its ability to climb slopes is not strong. On ordinary slopes, it can still walk on flat ground, but once the slope is 40 to 50 degrees, it is a bit reluctant. Nothing can be done.

The reason why I walked this canyon was to go around a long way before I found the only passable road.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. With the size of this creature, even if the monitor lizard is not much bigger than a cat to it, as long as you avoid it carefully, you should be fine." Luo Yuan said after pondering for a while.

Just like humans deliberately target ants, creatures that are too large may still be safer for humans.

"Luo Yuan, don't take any more risks. I would rather we go around for a few more days." Huang Jiahui persuaded, she glanced at the footprints, and couldn't help swallowing. How huge it must be, if you step down, I am afraid that even the monitor lizard will be finished.

Luo Yuan glanced at the crowd and found that everyone was a little panicked. They had already been terrified by the huge footprints. Obviously, there were more than one people who had Huang Jiahui's thoughts.

He was a little hesitant, feeling faintly missing something in his heart.

"No! The food chain in nature is rigorous and orderly, one ring after another, presenting a perfect pyramid distribution, and such a large-sized creature, if it is a carnivore, may be a devastating blow to the creatures in this area." Disaster, or even survivability at all."

He raised his head suddenly and looked at the top of the big tree where the footprints were.

Sure enough, not only this tree, but almost all the young leaves on the treetops within a radius of hundreds of meters disappeared.

This is obviously not a carnivore, but a herbivore.

Luo Yuan quickly explained his findings in detail, and everyone who was originally nervous relaxed immediately. Herbivores are more docile than carnivores, which are aggressive. As long as it is not provoked, it will generally not attack.

But even so, Luo Yuan let the monitor lizard avoid these footprints far away, so as not to touch each other. With the size of this giant beast, no matter how docile it is. It is also extremely dangerous to get close, maybe just walking around unconsciously, and terrible disasters will fall from the sky.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he felt that the ground began to vibrate rhythmically. It was slightly slight at first, but soon became more and more intense. The giant lizard snorted a little irritably. He also suddenly became quiet, and followed the crowd obediently.

Along with the shaking of the ground, a breeze blew from the jungle at some point, and soon it became a light breeze. The leaves rubbed against each other and made a rustling sound, followed by the sound of trees breaking.

The sound gradually became louder and louder.

A few minutes later, a huge mountain-like figure came slowly from a distance. Because of the cover of the trees, it was difficult to see its whole picture. Only those four thighs, as thick as the stone piers of the viaduct, stepped slowly. , displayed in front of everyone.

This slowness refers to the frequency of its actions, but because of its huge size, its speed is not much slower than the giant lizard running wildly?

There are no scales on the surface of the thighs, it looks extremely rough, and the upper and lower parts are covered with thick dark gray cuticles. Luo Yuan estimated that it would take a lot of effort to split the saber's defense.

Through the mottled leaves, he was shocked to find that this giant beast was at least tens of meters high, almost like a skyscraper with a height of more than ten floors. Even if he just watched it from a distance, he still felt extremely shocked.

It was still one kilometer away from Luo Yuan and the others. It passed by, and soon disappeared without a trace. There was only a gust of wind left, and it disappeared faintly. Everyone was stunned for a while before starting again.

………………

When it was close to three o'clock, Luo Yuan and the others finally walked out of the valley, and there was a sunken basin in front of them. After walking for more than three hours, the sun began to set to the west, and the sky gradually became dark.

"Just rest here for one night!" Luo Yuan looked at the surrounding environment and made the monitor lizard stop.

The trees here seem to be of the same species, with air roots covered with fine tentacles hanging down from the branches. From a distance, you can see boa constrictors hanging upside down. The dense leaves are airtight, covering the afterglow of the setting sun. It's so tight that you feel like stepping directly into the night when you're in it.

Luo Yuan jumped down first, and cut off a piece of air roots that were so dense that it was difficult for people to pass through with a saber, and the space suddenly became spacious.

"Why does it feel a little gloomy here!" Wang Xiaguang jumped down and looked around, it seemed to be a psychological effect, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Me too!" Wang Shishi followed up and said, she kicked the huge tree roots under her feet, there was almost no soil here, only the extremely twisted and twisted roots, entangled with each other. Moreover, the grass and shrubs that are common under the ordinary forest are not seen here.

"Luo Yuan, isn't there any danger here?" Huang Jiahui asked.

"Don't scare yourself, but everyone should pay attention to it at night!" Luo Yuan frowned and said, for some reason, since he stepped here, he had a feeling of being spied on, which was very faint, and It was everywhere, which made him tense and highly nervous all the way, but he never found any danger.

He looked at the sky and gave up the idea of ​​leaving here, maybe it was a psychological effect.
