Chapter 93
Warriors, evil has descended!
Don't be fooled by the pessimistic predictions of this civilization observer from the Thousand Lakes Kingdom; in fact, his hunch was quite accurate.
Don't let its abstract appearance fool you, this Heterodontidae isn't very strong in combat!
Don't let the fact that this Heterodontidae isn't very strong in combat fool you; it's actually quite picky about food!
The observers of the civilization of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom discovered that this little creature didn't eat leaves or fruits; it only ate the roots and stems of plants.
All I can say is that if this BYD thing doesn't survive to the later stages, it's just its own fault!
Powerful creatures are picky eaters because they have the strength to do so.
You're such a picky eater, aren't you just asking for trouble?
Take dugongs, for example. Due to environmental pollution, seaweed has decreased, but they only eat seaweed and do not change their diet, so they have become critically endangered animals.
If it were peacetime, it wouldn't matter; this primitive and wild continent certainly wouldn't lack food for them.
Where there are plants, there are roots and stems; where there are roots and stems, there is food to be had.
But if some despicable schemer tries to sabotage them, then they're doomed.
For example, a thousand years ago, when the despicable schemer unleashed the three great natural disasters, that was definitely the most difficult period for the observing species.
However, carnivores can also survive by eating the carcasses of herbivores.
Herbivores can survive by eating dead branches and leaves in the water.
But this kind of animal that only eats roots and stems... no, it should be called a precious animal, can't survive!
The observers of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom were determined not to perish in one round. Their strong will to survive led them to use an interference card on the Heterodontids, forcing them to eat withered branches and leaves. Otherwise, they would not have survived the three rounds of natural disasters.
After the Cataclysm instance ended, the number of Heterodontidae, which originally numbered over three thousand, plummeted to just over one hundred, almost reaching extinction.
Therefore, immediately after the dungeon ended, the civilization observers of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom hurriedly sent the remaining hundred or so Heterodontosaurus to migrate, eventually arriving at this remote, desolate area.
In this prehistoric continent where plains stretched as far as the eye could see, few creatures preferred to live on narrow, steep hills.
But for the Heterodontosaurus, these hills were a natural comfort zone.
Because they are natural digging experts, they can dig extensively in hilly areas.
Moreover, after being exposed to fertile volcanic ash and floods, this hilly area was not lacking in nutrients, and it soon became covered with plants.
Heterodontidae also relied on feeding on these plants to develop rapidly and reproduce continuously.
Even the observers of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom thought their reproduction rate was too slow, so they used an interference card on them.
Therefore, although only a thousand years have passed, the number of Heterodontidae has reached a terrifying ten thousand.
This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Although the Heterodontidae was not as strong as the Lyosaurus, both creatures shared the same survival strategy: to reproduce at all costs.
As long as their predators can't keep up with their reproduction rate, they can survive!
It wasn't just Protosuchus that cleverly concealed itself; Heterodontosaurus also cleverly concealed itself.
But today, their balance seems to be disrupted by the protocrocodilian.
The civilization observer from the Thousand Lakes Kingdom was filled with indignation, inwardly cursing Wang Lin, the civilization observer from the Dragon Kingdom.
Why would this guy lying down allow his crocodile to hide beautifully in the water and run into his territory?
Heaven is going to destroy my Thousand Lakes Kingdom... Wait, something seems wrong again.
The observers from the Thousand Lakes Kingdom surveyed the area and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they confirmed that only three original crocodiles had appeared in the territory of the species they were observing.
So it turns out there were only three original crocodiles!
He thought there were dozens or even hundreds!
Three original crocodiles... So, could he take control of them?
These hilly areas were all the territory of the Heterodontosaurus.
At his command, thousands of Heterodontosaurus would instantly surround the three Protocrocodilians.
So even if a dragon spits at them, it could kill them, right?
Without further ado, the observer of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom's civilization gave an order, summoning dragon-slaying warriors to the battlefield.
Deep in the remote hills, young Heterodontosaurus are dozing in their caves.
Suddenly, a sacred voice resounded in its mind.
"Warriors, evil has descended!"
The voice was solemn and grand, as if it came from the heavens above.
The young Heterodontosaurus suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils reflecting a golden light.
"Three evil dragons came from the far east. They had sharp fangs, their bodies were impervious to weapons, and their mouths breathed the air of death."
"They have invaded our homeland, devoured our fellow human beings, and trampled on our dignity."
The young Heterodontosaurus stood up, trembling all over.
It wasn't fear, it was anger.
Its eyes turned red, its teeth clenched, and its tail straightened.
"Go, warriors! Drive away those evil dragons and protect our homeland!"
"Whoever slays the dragon will marry the most beautiful girl in the tribe!"
The last sentence was like a fire, igniting the heart of the young Heterodontosaurus.
It roared to the sky and burst out of the cave.
For our people, for our homeland, for the most beautiful girl!
At the same time, hundreds and thousands of Heterodontosaurus emerged from their respective caves.
They all heard the divine oracle, all saw the golden light, and all had the same image in their minds—three ferocious monsters lying in their homeland, gnawing on the bones of their fellow human beings.
One, ten, one hundred, one thousand!
They surged in from all directions, converging in the same direction like a tide.
The hillside was covered with countless Heterodontosaurus.
It kept sprouting from the bushes.
New warriors continued to pour out of the cave entrance.
Thousands of Heterodontids charged simultaneously, and the earth trembled.
The soil was trampled up and the stones were kicked and rolled down the mountain.
The sheer scale and the sheer force of it made one think that some ancient, ferocious beast had been unleashed.
It's no wonder that the Kingdom of a Thousand Lakes is also part of Norse mythology; making a passionate Western fantasy story out of it would be a piece of cake for them.
At this moment, the three crocodiles were still enjoying their afternoon tea.
They had just finished eating the Heterodontidae, their bellies were round and full, and they were lying on the ground licking their lips.
One of the crocodiles let out a burp, while the other rolled over, exposing its belly to bask in the sun.
The Heterodontosaurus is great in every way, except its head is all bone; you have to cut off its head before you can eat it.
But it doesn't matter, your Grandpa Crocodile is the least picky eater.
It's only because the food is good now that they're fed; otherwise, they would have swallowed their heads whole.
Just as the three crocodiles had finished eating and drinking and were preparing to catch up with the main group, they suddenly noticed that the ground around them was trembling.
