Chapter 53 The Carboniferous Forest
The forest is vast, filled with clouds and mist, towering ancient trees criss-cross, and in the dense canopy, sometimes there are a few huge insects buzzing and flying, collecting fruits one by one.

Under the giant trees, there are all kinds of ferns and iron trees, especially some coconut-shaped trees with yellow and orange "pineapples" on their crowns.

Five people and three beasts walked in this wild forest.

Li Yan drove the Dilophosaurus to lead the way, Jianxin Xiang carried three tribal men and a large amount of luggage, and Tamar drove the Parasaurolophus to the rear.

"Riding a dinosaur for [-] days, it should be here, right?"

"In the past two days, the surrounding trees are only gymnosperm trees with needle-shaped and narrow leaves, and even the air is so fresh."

According to Li Yan's observation of the surrounding environment, the further south he went, the more gymnosperms, the more bugs, the fewer crawling and mammals, he felt that the team should reach or approach the carboniferous forest.

"Ok?"

Li Yan suddenly saw a large forest lizard tens of meters away. It was lying on a piece of moss-covered wood. The forest lizard had green-brown skin, thick limbs, one meter in length, and a very fat body.

The Dilophosaurus was still walking, not very fast. When he was within ten meters of the forest lizard, Li Yan suddenly swung his iron arm and violently threw a short spear.

call out!
A black shadow passed by, and several pieces of fern grass fell down immediately.

"Pfft!" The spear sank into the lizard's body and firmly nailed it to the brown wood. The forest lizard continued to struggle, and the wound slowly tore out scarlet blood.

Li Yan jumped down from the Dilophosaurus, took out a spear, aimed at its head, and stabbed it hard. After the forest lizard made two "croaks", its body gradually softened.

Withdraw the short spear, wipe the short spear and long spear against the fallen leaves on the ground, and put them aside.

He took out a piece of flint leaf from the animal skin bag hanging beside the dilophosaurus saddle.

"Forest Lizard!"

Then he squatted down and disemboweled it with stone leaves.

After Tamar and others approached, they even stopped and stationed.

He ripped open the lizard's belly, gutted it, cut off its head, tail, limbs, and skinned it.

Throwing these leftovers in front of Dilophosaurus, he said, "Eat it!"

"hiss"

"hiss"

The Dilophosaurus leaned over, stuck out its red tongue, then opened its mouth wide, and ate the bloody leftovers on the ground in two or three strokes.

Li Yan continued to process the lizard's meat. Since there was no water source around to wash it, it would be roasted directly on the fire later. This was the third forest lizard they caught during their trip.

buzzing.
Li Yan frowned, picked up the spear beside him, and looked up.

"It's this kind of giant vein dragonfly again!"

"Go to hell!"

call!
A spear swept down the giant dragonfly that was as big as an eagle in the air.

"This kind of dragonfly is really annoying. It doesn't usually attack people actively, but it will attack people as soon as there is a corpse."

"The meganeurons here are bigger than those in the north."

Li Yan swept it away from the Dilophosaurus with his spear again.

"Eat, I'll give you another meal!"

Although Dilophosaurus mainly ate meat, it also sometimes ate insects, but it was not very vegetarian. This little Dilophosaurus ate dozens of catties of meat a day, and dozens of tribesmen on top daily rations.

The team stationed down, some went to collect wild vegetables and fruits nearby, some went to collect firewood to make a fire, and some led their "mounts" to graze.

Jianxin eats relatively thickly, and it likes to eat any old weeds.

But Parasaurolophus is not very resistant to coarse food, it does not eat older weeds, and it especially likes to eat berries, and it has to be fed with berries every two days, which is also a difficult master to take care of.

The Dilophosaurus licked up the Meganeurosaurus in two or three bites, and then looked at Li Yan eagerly.

Li Yan couldn't bear to look at its watery eyes, so he bent down again, cut off a forest lizard leg and threw it to it: "This is the last piece, save some food."

As soon as the meat was thrown on the ground, the Dilophosaurus swallowed it in one gulp, then raised its head, with that look again.

Li Yan: "."

Li Yan took the remaining forest lizard meat, which weighed more than 20 kilograms, to the side of the fire, used a piece of animal skin as a cushion, and took wooden sticks to skewer the meat.

Wen Shi set up firewood beside him, ready to light a fire.

Wen Shi's complexion didn't seem to be very good, maybe it was because of his long trip, the two young men who came along with him, Yi and Hou, also had a not so good complexion in the past few days.

"By the way, Shi, what kind of food did the Wenjia tribe feed the velociraptors?" Li Yan asked while skewering the meat, "Don't they go hunting every day?"

"Yes, raising carnivorous beasts requires a lot of meat, so we can only go hunting. They have many people and many beasts. Usually a team leads a group of velociraptors to hunt and kill beasts, and then feed them in the wild." Wen Shi He replied, "However, there are many times when the meat they hunt is not enough, so they will feed the animals with fodder, which is good for the beasts. .”

"Feed?" Li Yan raised his head.

"That's right, dried meat, eggs, vegetables, and bark fiber can be used to make feed, so that the consumption of meat is not much, and carnivores also like to eat it." Wen Shi said, "The velociraptor feed uses Parasaurolophus eggs, and there are a lot of them. Animal feed requires animal eggs, so the Wenjia tribe will also raise some egg-laying beasts, or go to the wild to collect animal eggs from time to time."

at this time.

Suddenly, Tamar's voice came from the dense fern forest nearby: "Shi, come and see if this yellow fruit is edible?"

Li Yan also skewered the animal meat at this time, and said to Wen Shi: "You go, I will live this fire."

"Uh-huh."

Wen Shilian ran there. Although Tamar has a wealth of knowledge in the wild, there are too many unknown animals and plants in this world, and she can't know all of them, especially here in the carboniferous forest. Tamar has never been here.
The pile of firewood in front of him had been set up, Li Yan picked up the fire bow, tinder, flint wood, and wooden support on the ground, and began to draw the bow to light the fire.

The flint wood rests on the wooden support on the ground, the left hand presses the top of the flint wood, and the right hand pulls the fire bow resting on the flint wood.

Woo.
woohoo
Li Yan pulled it hard a dozen times, and the wooden support gave out smoke.

After dozens of pulls, a little bit of red charcoal was produced smoothly.

Li Yan poured the red charcoal into the tinder, just as he was about to blow it, he saw the tinder start to burn by itself.

"Ok?"

"Strange, why is it so easy to start a fire after coming to the Carboniferous Forest?"

"Also, in the past few days, the team didn't stop to rest at all, but neither the beast nor the humans felt very tired."

Li Yan was puzzled.

Start the fire, wipe the lizard with the fragrant leaves and coarse salt, and then roast it on the fire.

The fire seemed to be burning more fiercely than usual, and it burned to the wood lizard's stick in no time. Li Yan quickly pulled back some firewood and turned the fire down a bit.

The scorching fire slowly roasted the blood-red animal meat. The meat and spices mixed together, exuding a mouth-watering aroma, and Li Yan couldn't help swallowing.

suddenly--

"what"

"Shi, what's wrong with you?"

From the Fern Grove came Tamar's urgent cry.
