Monster life starting from picking up materials

"Well, every species has reasons and abilities to survive."

Ji Jie, realizing his mistake, attacked in repentance, leaping out from the unnoticed shadows and pouncing on the back of a young and strong herbivorous dragon.

Its claws dug into the herbivorous dragon's body, and its sharp teeth bit at the back of its neck.

Blood flowed out from the blood grooves cut by his fangs, and the herbivorous dragon was also shaking its body vigorously, trying to throw the predator off its back to save itself from the inevitable end.

But Ji Jie ignored it. The scene was very chaotic. The thief dragon's senses were far more complicated than the hairy spider's.

He ignored the bumping, shaking, pain, roars and wails, as well as all kinds of chaotic pheromones.

He just kept biting the back of the herbivorous dragon's neck, feeling the fresh life draining from the wound and warming his tongue.

It's sweet and a little fishy, but has a different kind of temptation.

There was a cruel light flashing in the thief dragon's pupils. He bit and swallowed at the same time, and there was not only blood mixed in his mouth and tongue, but also fat and minced meat.

When he tore off a large piece of meat, the wound was deep enough to see the white bones, and the herbivorous dragon's life left its body with the splash of blood.

A more complex body of flesh and blood also has richer senses. Ji Jie chewed on the meat that tasted delicious no matter how he chewed it, and felt as if he had been reborn in a sense.

But the feeling of freedom dissipated with the approaching pressure, and the breath of the Great Thief Dragon made him focus on external things again.

It seemed that he was the only one who hunted a herbivorous dragon single-handedly. The rest of the herbivorous dragons were all hanging with multiple thief dragons, and they relied on the large number of dragons to drag the other dragons to death.

It's not that there are no other thief dragons that want to get their hands on the herbivorous dragon under him, but the struggle of the mature herbivorous dragon directly forced the other thief dragons to retreat, and their location was also relatively remote.

It seems that we need to re-estimate the strength of ordinary thieves. In the previous hunting, the giant thieves took the initiative and such a disastrous situation would not have occurred.

Ji Jie observed the situation on the field while swallowing the flesh and blood of his prey.

Some thief dragons were attracted by the strong smell of blood here, and naturally ran over to share his prey. He didn't care, because he was the one who could grab the most food anyway.

When the giant thief dragon arrived here with a bulging belly and half a herbivorous dragon in its mouth, Ji Jie had already eaten his fill.

Does a larger brain capacity due to body proportions really affect intelligence? Ji Jie discovered that the Megathiasaurus came from the direction the herbivorous dragons left, and he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate ambush.

The giant thief dragon digested the food on the spot, and then began to mark its territory, in order to make use of the last value of the herbivorous dragon in its stomach. After making room in its stomach by this behavior, it cleaned up the corpses of the herbivorous dragons that the thief dragons could not eat, and then returned to its nest.

Chapter 5: Fluffy Smoky Snow Weasel

Ji Jie did not return to the nest with the big thief dragon. The thief dragon society lacked any regulations and would not restrict the leaving or joining of individual thief dragons.

He sniffed the scent to identify the territory of the giant thief dragon and patrolled the territory.

At this stage, apart from touching corpses and eggs, he really couldn't think of any way to quickly unlock the transformation of large animals.

His goal was also moving towards these two methods, looking for bone tombs and dragon eggs. He also thought how great it would be if he could be born in the Miasma Valley, so that he could eat any corpse.

But how could he get to the Miasma Valley? The Ancient Tree Forest was so vast that he couldn't even find some of the corresponding landmarks on the game map.

You still have to fly, and you still have to find a way to fly.

The thief dragon climbed up the tree, looking up at the sky and the distant shadow of the ancient tree.

It's already dusk.

As night turned into day, the unmistakable rustling in the forest grew louder.

The unstoppable sleepiness and fatigue made the eye film flip over on the eyeball, and Ji Jie jumped onto a sturdy tree and ended the fifth day of the journey.

His consciousness returned to the dream, and this time, a chaotic six-sided dice was spinning endlessly in front of him.

"Snapped."

Ji Jie slapped the dice with his claws, then moved away and looked at the dice curiously.

All six sides of the dice were shrouded in thick shadows. The shadow on the top side dissipated as the dice stopped spinning, revealing a new totem, a white weasel.

With a head full of question marks, Ji Jie shrank in size. Snow-white hair replaced the yellow and black scales, and he turned into a snow-white weasel.

Smoky Snow Weasel.

"what?"

The smoke weasel straightened its long body and looked down at its fur-covered front paws in confusion.

The mammal's advanced front paws clenched, and Ji Jie's furry face now had a human-like expression of doubt.

"So, besides collecting, there's also a random lottery? Why can't I just cross the ecological niche?"

Ji Jie stretched out his claws and wanted to turn over the other side of the dice to see the prize pool, but the dice disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He began to move around on all fours, adjusting to his new body.

Its legs are short, but like the weasel in his memory, it can "whoosh" and run very far. Its thick long hair can pile directly onto the ground, and when it walks it looks like a snow-white skirt, which is very beautiful.

As a loyal Monster Hunter player, he certainly knows the special features of the Smoke Weasel.

According to the setting, the Smoke Weasel can emit a special pheromone to lure monsters. In the first game of Rise, the hunter runs in front of the monster and shakes the Smoke Weasel twice, and the monster will chase the hunter relentlessly, and even leave its own territory to conflict with other monsters.

This method of use allowed Ji Jie to instantly come up with several plans to profit from it. Of course, he was not qualified to be a fisherman yet, so he could only take advantage of the situation to get some materials.

I don’t know how much materials I need to collect to transform into a large monster?

The furry smoke weasel stood up and raised its head. Several totem blocks that had been collected were automatically pulled out from the wall and flew in front of him and arranged.

Tyrannosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Megalodon.

The first two are still far away, but the totem color of the Great Thief Dragon has filled one third, which makes Ji Jie a little curious.

He did not collect materials about the Megathias in a particularly subjective way. Why is that?

Is it due to the relationship between Raptorosaurus and Megaraptorosaurus?

This space in the dream remained silent and did not give any answers.

Ji Jie shook his body violently in response to the feeling of the smoke weasel's body. The strong pheromones rushed out from his glands and were shaken into the air by the shaking hair.

Perhaps it was because he was in a dream, he didn't feel anything when he smelled his own pheromones. If he attracted a large monster in this way, how could he outrun the monster?

It seems that a lot of arrangements are still needed.

......

The thief dragon was gazing at the sneaky figure in front of it in the darkness of the grass. Its yellow body looked out of place in this ancient tree forest. Although it had a bird's beak, its whole body looked very smooth, with only bright and flashy feathers on its head and forearms.

Its forelimbs are short but have long and flexible fingers, which show that it has excellent grasping ability. Its hind limbs are strong. Although it does not walk very fast, its strong thighs show that it is good at jumping.

The Scratching Bird is a bird-dragon monster that is good at stealing dragon eggs as its own food. It will try to avoid other large predators or aggressive vegetarians.

The stork was looking around. In order to avoid being discovered by it, the stork shrank its body and changed from a reptile to a mammal-like smoky snow weasel. It was very small and cute.

Ji Jie climbed up the tree and followed the coquettish bird between the treetops. He wanted to follow this guy to find dragon eggs, and then try to lure it to the big thief dragon after finding the dragon eggs.

The scratching bird was completely unaware of the simple conspiracy woven by Jijie. It just looked left and right as it moved forward stealthily, occasionally lowering its head to observe the traces on the ground.

Ji Jie discovered that every time the scratching bird stopped to observe, it was in an open area with water and sunshine, and there was often some herbivorous dragon feces nearby. They had just passed by the pond where Ji Jie had hunted herbivorous dragons for the first time.

Along the way, we also encountered a group of thief dragons wandering in the forest. The thieves would often show their teeth and roar at the first moment, and the timid thief dragons would also cooperate and hide in the denser forest, pretending not to have seen them.

"Eggs are laid where there's water and sunlight, right?"

Ji Jie didn't care about those thief dragons. He just murmured and kept up with Teacher Saoniao's pace. He also figured out his current location, which was very close to the coast where the herbivorous dragons were originally located.

He recalled that fertile coast, with its water and sunshine, which certainly looked like a suitable place for spawning.

As expected, the screech owls arrived at the coast and walked around digging with their heads down.

Finally, it dragged an egg out of the sand hole, held it in its arms, knocked a crack in it with its beak, reached in and sucked it.

But Ji Jie was a little disappointed, because he expected the scratching bird to lead him to find some large monster eggs. Fortunately, this place was not far from the thief dragon's nest, so he could just lead the scratching bird there.

After eating the first egg, the scratching bird did not stop. It dug in the sand hole and found the second egg. It seemed that a nest of herbivorous dragons had buried a lot of eggs in that place.

Ji Jie blinked, wanting to taste what the egg tasted like. He gestured at the size of the scratching bird and transformed from a smoke weasel into a thief dragon.

This rhinoceros bird is estimated to be eight meters long, but his body length is only four meters, which is just doubled!

At least, he has four-wheel drive. If he can't fight, he will run away. If he can't run away, he will hide.

Of course, seriously speaking, he observed the behavior of the stork along the way and found that this guy was not agile in the forest. Rather than a predator, it was more like the startled herbivores in the previous life. The slightest movement would make it look around. I remember that in the ecological CG, this guy seemed to be scared away by the ankylosaur when he was stealing eggs.

The thief dragon walked with cat-like steps, lightly and cautiously approaching the scratching bird, which was twice its body length.

At least, in terms of courage, he will be better than the sneaky bird who steals chickens and dogs all day long.

Chapter 6 Succubus Weasel (4K)

The croaker habitually raised its head and looked around. As it shook its head, it saw the uninvited guest who came to disturb its eating.

After taking the last sip of the egg liquid, it turned around, opened its huge beak and roared.

Recalling what he had learned and experienced in his previous life, Ji Jie found it really hard to imagine that an animal with a bird's beak could roar instead of chirp.

"Roar!"

Ji Jie arched his body, roared as well, and prepared to go back into the forest.

When the scratching bird saw that the lone thief dragon dared to roar back at it, it tilted its head slightly and was stunned for a moment, then threw the eggshell in its hand towards Ji Jie with its teeth and claws bared.

The thief dragon's pupils shrank slightly, and its limbs nimbly avoided the eggshell covered with slime.

Vertical pupils mean exchanging the field of vision for powerful dynamic vision, and Ji Jie's eyes have been firmly fixed on the scratching bird in front of him, locking onto every movement of its limbs.

The bird didn't know what was going on, and its feathers drooped a little, but it still just stayed in the same place, waving its claws and teeth.

Ji Jie ignored the useless threatening gesture and locked his eyes on the bird's limbs, slowly closing the distance between him and it, while also calculating the distance between himself and the forest behind him.

As the distance shortened, the atmosphere between him and Zao Niao became more and more solemn. Although this might be his one-sided feeling, in Zao Niao's eyes he might just be an arrogant lunatic.

But this sense of solemnity also represented the secretion of adrenaline in his body, allowing him to have more reaction time after seeing the bird jump up.

The wind from the falling birds blew on his body, and the sharp nails waving at him stung his eyes.

The air rushed towards him, but clung to his body gently as he ran.

His tense limbs had been violently released, and he ran quickly to the right.

The scratching bird ran and swung its sharp claws, leaving afterimages, but it couldn't touch him at all.

Where is he running to?

The distance between Ji Jie and Zaoniao that was created by the sudden burst of power gave him time to think about his next strategy.

Just grab an egg and run away?

This doesn't seem to be easy to do. The thief dragon does not have the physiological structure to run with eggs like the thief bird, and the round dragon eggs cannot be picked up by the mouth.

give up?

No, in this brief confrontation, he couldn't help but place some hope on the trophy, that is, the dragon egg. At this moment, the dragon egg was like his dreamy little lover, stimulating his mouth to moisten his saliva, and the saliva stimulated his throat and stomach to relax, and his jaw was ready to slip out of dislocation.

Grab an egg and swallow it.

The option proposed by possessiveness entered Jijie's thinking, and his body implemented it before he came to a conclusion.

The thinking is over, but the jumping and running never stopped, and the movements never stopped.

His muscles were a little sore, and his throat was extremely sore, but there was an incomparable satisfaction in Thief Dragon's eyes.

Although he was satisfied, Ji Jie did not relax. He stood where the scratching bird was originally, watching the scratching bird vigilantly as its steps gradually slowed down, while digesting the eggs in his esophagus.

The esophagus of the Raptorosaur is contracting, squeezing the herbivorous dragon eggs inside, but the eggshells have become extremely hard to prevent certain predators.

At this time, stomach acid and Adam's apple come in handy. The stomach acid corrodes and softens the eggshell, and the hard larynx hits the eggshell until the first crack appears.

The warm egg liquid slides into the mouth and flows deep into the body, warming every limb and bone. The situation of plundering the stronger ones makes the already delicious dragon eggs even more delicious.

Ji Jie glanced at the situation in the burrow with his peripheral vision. There were still five dragon eggs laid by the herbivorous dragon family here, enough to feed him for the whole day.

The scratching bird looked at the thief dragon that was stealing its harvest and was still on guard against it, clenched its claws, and actually chose to shrink its head, and went directly to the other side of the coast, lowering its head to look for a new burrow.

Large monsters are not born with such a body size. Instead, they need more nutrition to support their growth. As a bird dragon species, the Scratching Bird lacks the advantages of claws and limb strength.

Just as the young and strong herbivorous dragon proved to Ji Jie that his race was not weak and incompetent, the scratching bird had been proven this way countless times during its growth. It was driven everywhere by herbivorous dragons and stronger large predators for stealing dragon eggs. This experience from childhood to adulthood made the scratching bird cautious and timid.

Perhaps, this is inferiority complex. As the tail of the phoenix among large monsters, the scratching bird will definitely be willing to be the head of the chicken if it has the chance, right?

The scratching birds living in the ancient tree forest have even worse inferiority complex. Such a spawning ground where the herbivorous dragons were driven away is like a paradise for the scratching birds. They just want to fill their stomachs in peace and get the nutrition needed by a large monster.

The above description was not Ji Jie's thoughts. He did not think so much from the perspective of the Scratching Bird. Instead, he was surprised by the Scratching Bird's retreat. He was also thinking about the various performances of the Scratching Bird. All of these showed that its intelligence was at a relatively high level among large monsters.

According to his knowledge from his previous life, birds should be more superior than reptiles in evolution. Most monsters have many reptilian characteristics. The beak and feathers of the scratching bird have already demonstrated the degree of evolution. It is reasonable for the intelligence it possesses to produce this series of performances.
