Ch69 – Bat
Although Xiong Ye was rather desperate for meat, he soon realized that something was wrong.
There were so many dinosaurs. Why were they all running over together?
Was something chasing them from behind?
There must be something wrong with this situation!
Xiong Ye immediately ordered several fast runners to return to the tribe and report the news. As for him, he went to find the thickest tree nearby and climbed on top of it to observe the situation.
When he looked closely, Xiong Ye noticed two particularly large dinosaurs.
Xiong Ye had never seen such large dinosaurs before so he was unable to identify them, but he was very certain about one thing, which was that these dinosaurs wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Of course… they had a lot of meat.
Perhaps it was because he had seen an even bigger giant beast wrecking havoc around the tribe before, but Xiong Ye wasn’t afraid even when he saw such large dinosaurs. Instead, he contemplated how to deal with them.
The traps that had been useless in the past would come in handy now. Additionally… The poison that Zhou Ji had prepared for him could also be put to use!
Xiong Ye immediately gave orders to his team and had them prepare the poison along with some other things.
Meanwhile, Fu Xiao, the person from the Giant Tiger Tribe whose animal form was a bat, was carrying some herbs in his mouth as he flew towards the Big Bear Tribe.
At the start, these herbs had been carried by some slaves who ran up ahead in front of the dinosaurs. As time pa.s.sed, these slaves had been trampled by the dinosaurs that chased behind them and become dinosaur food, so Fu Xiao had picked up the herbs to continue leading the dinosaurs forward.
Fu Xiao’s animal form was very small and had very little fighting power, but he was especially valued within the Giant Tiger Tribe because he could fly. Many things were handed to him to accomplish.
The vast majority of beastmen were unable to fly. If he was the one doing this task, he would be able to run away easily even if he encountered danger.
Fu Xiao’s flying speed wasn’t as fast as the slaves who had run ahead at the start, but the huge dinosaurs at the back of the stampede had also slowed down after having run for such a long time. The entire group had slowed down, and the smaller dinosaurs fleeing up ahead started to scatter. Some of the armored herbivore dinosaurs discovered that there was a lot of food available here and directly began searching for places to graze.
Xiong Ye was up in the tree, watching as a bird-footed dinosaur that was about as big as Yang Ying in his animal form begin to graze at a patch of gra.s.s. And then… A giant bird approximately two meters tall suddenly appeared and shot towards it.
Xiong Ye recognized this big bird.
The elephant bird he had hunted down before was herbivorous, and although it was quite big, it wasn’t fierce by nature. This big bird was different––it was called the terror bird and was carnivorous.
Of course, the first thing that came to Xiong Ye’s mind wasn’t this point. Rather, it was––Zhou Ji seemed to enjoy eating bird meat?
Xiong Ye immediately wanted to go and catch this bird.
At this point, however, he suddenly smelled the scent of a predator.
There were even more powerful predators behind this group of dinosaurs!
It was obvious with a glance that those two huge dinosaurs with long necks and tiny heads didn’t eat meat, so Xiong Ye hadn’t been afraid of them. However, if there were powerful carnivorous dinosaurs amongst them…
Xiong Ye frowned as he continued to observe.
And at this time, Bao Yu who had climbed up another tree suddenly spoke up, “Look at that bat! He’s from the Giant Tiger Tribe!”
With Bao Yu’s shout, Xiong Ye finally noticed that there was actually a very small bat flying in front of those dinosaurs.
That bat was the one he had encountered before when they had fought against the Giant Tiger Tribe in the Little Brook Tribe’s territory.
At the time, most of the Giant Tiger Tribe’s animal forms had been very powerful. Correspondingly, their animal forms had also been very large, and none of them had been able to slip through their fingers. This bat had been the only exception.
Had all of these dinosaurs been brought over by that bat?
Xiong Ye immediately realized that something was off.
Previously, he had considered luring those dinosaurs into traps or trying to poison them, but if they had actually been led over by someone else…
There was no way they would lure the dinosaurs into a trap!
“We must kill that bat!” Xiong Ye didn’t think twice before making this decision.
There were many people from the Little Brook Tribe around Xiong Ye, and their eyes were burning with hatred.
The destruction of the Little Brook Tribe had a lot to do with this bat!
It was this bat who had investigated the situation within their tribe and led to Hu Tiao being able to lead his people in and take them all down in one fell swoop!
Only, they were all unable to fly. Catching that bat would be a difficult task…
As everyone was still trying to figure out a solution, a group of people from the Big Bear Tribe arrived. “Dinosaurs are coming? Where are the dinosaurs?”
The messengers who were on the way back to the tribe had encountered people from the Big Bear Tribe who were working in the area. They had told them about the dinosaurs, and the people from the Big Bear Tribe had all rushed over.
Everyone wanted meat!
“Is there anyone who can catch birds?” Xiong Ye asked.
“I can!” Someone stepped up. Xiong Ye glanced over and discovered that it was actually Mao Jin.
Mao Jin spoke up, “I can catch birds!”
Mao Jin’s animal form was a cat. It was very small, but she was good at climbing trees and had caught birds before when she went out to hunt for food.
Xiong Ye pointed to the distance, “Mao Jin, do you see that bat? In a bit, go up and hide in the tree and think of a way to catch it!”
“Bat?” Mao Jin was a little confused.
Xiong Ye: “That thing with wings that looks like a small bird.”
“Alright!” Mao Jin agreed.
Xiong Ye had already noticed that the bat was flying in the direction of the Big Bear Tribe!
He had Mao Jin hide in a tree, and then told a few of the people of the tribe whose animal forms were relatively more dexterous and also able to catch birds to go up and hide as well.
By this time, the bat had already flown over. Behind it was a huge stampede of dinosaurs.
Xiong Ye changed into his animal form and gestured for them to try and catch the other party. The people who were with Xiong Ye all jumped up from the ground and acted as though they wanted to catch the bat. When the bat saw this scene, it tried to dodge to the side.
Just then, a cat jumped out from the tree next to it and bit down on the bat.
Xiong Ye was delighted. Immediately after, he watched as the bat suddenly turned back into a man and plummeted down from mid-air. Mao Jin, who had originally bitten him, fell down with him… Mao Jin flipped and landed gently on the ground, but the man couldn’t do so. He was already dead by the time he smashed into the ground.
His stomach had been bitten through!
Mao Jin was dazed. She had never seen a bat before and hadn’t known that the animal she had bitten down on was actually a person when she made her move…
It was Xiong Ye who was particularly calm as he came over to pick up the body, tossing it into the pond he had dug out with the rest of his team.
After doing so, he noticed a strange smell and found a stalk of gra.s.s on the ground. He picked it up and also threw it into the pond.
The dinosaurs veered slightly and ran towards the pond. Some of the smaller dinosaurs saw the big pit in front of them and scattered as they switched directions, but one of the Carcharodontosaurus fell headfirst into the pond…
Immediately after that, another dinosaur came along.
