Monster life starting from picking up materials

Such a large coastline can support a large group of herbivorous dragons, two egg thieves, and the scratching bird's request for concession. It didn't take long for it to find a new dragon's lair.

While observing the scratching bird's actions, Ji Jie swallowed four dragon eggs in a row. The egg liquid is easier to digest than meat and is also very nutritious.

After eating and drinking, it was time to move forward with the next plan. Seeing that the scratching bird was no longer paying attention to him, the thief dragon's body shrank and transformed into a snow-white smoke weasel.

The little smoke weasel puffed up its cheeks and shook its fluffy snow-white hair hard. A strong pheromone was released from its glands into the air, and white dust was faintly visible in the air.

Before these pheromones dissipated, evaporated, or settled, Ji Jie transformed from a smoke weasel into a thief dragon again, moving in the white mist to ensure that these pheromones could attach to his body.

To be honest, this smell is really good. It feels like burying yourself in the fur and inhaling it wildly.

Ji Jie thought that he could turn into a smoke weasel more often in the future to inhale himself, but for now he had to dangle these pheromones in front of the scratching bird to observe the effect.

After he opened his mouth and swallowed a smaller dragon egg as a mobile blood bag, Ji Jie slowly walked towards the scratching bird that was still sucking the egg liquid.

The second disturbance from the uninvited guest made the scratching bird very annoyed. It happened that it had already eaten all the dragon eggs in the nest, and it was planning to leave temporarily and come back next time, but the special smell on the thief dragon in front of it made it shudder.

The tickling bird's intelligence does not know how this smell tempts it, but it can measure this desire. Unfortunately, it can only measure the pros and cons, not conspiracies and traps.

The most common thing among monsters is to judge the difference between friend and foe based on appearance, and the thief dragon in front of it just flashed in front of it and then fled in panic. This behavior made it lose almost all its vigilance, and it began to chase the extremely tempting thief dragon in front of it.

In Ji Jie's eyes, the fact that the scratching bird caught up with him meant his victory. All he had to do next was to turn into the woods and lure it to the vicinity of the thief dragon's nest.

Ji Jie didn't know whether the giant thief dragon was in its nest. The smell of the smoke weasel's dragon was too strong, covering up all the other smells in the woods, and even made him want to stop and roll on the spot.

Calming his mind and restraining his instincts, Ji Jie turned his head and saw the scratching bird following closely, and continued to turn forward with satisfaction.

Apart from not knowing whether his cheap big brother was in the nest, he also had no idea what his current condition was. He was like a competent little brother, wondering whether his big brother was hungry or full.

If he was hungry and the bird was swallowed in one bite, would the younger brother have anything to eat?

If it is full, will the stork be chased away or scared away? After all, when the Great Thief Dragon is full, its desire to attack is not as strong.

For the first question, Ji Jie thought of the scene where the giant thief dragon vomited out its prey and fed it to the other thief dragons. The piece of meat was covered with unknown yellow liquid and stomach acid. Although the thief dragon's instinct was to secrete saliva, his nausea was causing the stomach acid to rise.

It’s impossible to eat it, even if you are caught by a fire dragon and thrown from the sky, you still can’t eat it!

It doesn't matter if the tickle is just chased away. After all, this is just an attempt to test the allure of the smoke weasel pheromone. The effect is great, and the tickle behind is still chasing.

As a large monster with a body length of eight meters, the scratching bird does not move fast in the dense forest. Unlike the battle-hardened Archerosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex, it cannot rely on its size and strength to carve a path. Instead, it has to avoid the branches that mess up the flashy feathers on its head. This requires Ji Jie to slow down from time to time to appear to be at a distance.

He turned around and looked at the bird that was attracted to him. If it was a cute smoke weasel instead of a thief dragon, would seduction be more likely to evoke some beautiful fantasies?

Ji Jie didn’t know, because it depended on the XP of the macrocosm observers.

Along the way, it was not only the scratching birds that followed him, but also several thief dragons. They seemed to be attracted by the pheromones of the smoke weasel. They followed him and wanted to rub against him. They didn't even care about the scratching birds chasing him. He could only roar at the thief dragons to restrain them.

The group of thief dragons slowed down his speed, and seemed to put pressure on the scratching bird behind him, causing it to rush directly out of the woods.

The threat from the scratching bird was much more useful than Ji Jie's own roar. The surrounding thief dragons scattered, and only Ji Jie maintained his own rhythm and lured the scratching bird as usual.

A special smell penetrated the scent barrier of the smoke weasel around Jijie. The ground was shaking and the sound of trees breaking could be heard. It was the approach of the Great Thief Dragon.

Ji Jie slowed down his pace and turned his head. The scratching bird also stopped chasing him and lowered its body, slowly retreating.

But it was too late. The huge yellow figure had already torn through the dense forest and pounced on the cricket with its bloody mouth wide open. Even Ji Ji, who had expected it, was frightened. Thinking of the smell of the smoky weasel on his body, he looked around and ran towards the nearest pond.

The same is true for the ticklish bird, but its jump is in the physical sense. It jumps back with confusion in its pupils, but it quickly comes to its senses and turns around and runs away.

The big thief dragon, who had missed the target, didn't stop at all. He raised his belly and pressed towards the scratching bird. Although he missed three times in a row, his full belly was visibly shrinking under the pressure.

With the abdomen squeezed, it was natural to feel nauseous. Vomit wrapped in yellow mucus splashed out of the mouth of the big thief dragon, hitting the fleeing scratching bird and making it stagger.

The shrinking abdomen has another benefit. While converting mass into energy, the forelimbs of the Megathryx flexed from the blunt angle that supported the body to an explosive sharp angle. It began to run, breaking the trees in front of it to chase the birds.

Ji Jie had already jumped into the pond, with only his head sticking out from the shallow end to observe secretly.

No matter which time, the appearance of the Battle-Veteran Great Thief Dragon was always shocking. Seeing the noise gradually fade away, it crawled out of the pond to shake its body. After confirming that there was almost no smell of the Smoke Weasel left on its body, it did not rush to continue chasing, but turned around and drank a sip of water first.

Unfortunately, there is no smell of smoky weasel in the water.

Restraining the thought of turning into a smoke weasel and indulging himself, Ji Jie mixed in with the group of thief dragons and led a large group to chase their boss. However, before they had gone far, they saw their boss stopped and was walking slowly, and the scent of the scratching bird was drifting away into the distance.

Ji Jie lowered his head and sniffed, and smelled a faint smell of blood. He looked at the big thief dragon's body and saw no new scars, and its abdomen was not bulging, so this was obviously the blood of the scratching bird.

The scratching bird was injured.

When he turned around, he only saw the back of the big thief dragon walking back. Some of the thief dragons looked around and followed it, while some of the thief dragons stood up and looked at him.

This is not a separation of power between the leadership of the thief dragons, but the habit of the thief dragons is like this. As the leader, the big thief dragon has a majesty that cannot be challenged by other thief dragons. The thief dragons will follow it to find food, and will also choose to roam together with other thief dragons. The one they will first rely on is often the strongest one in the group.

Ji Jie stood up and glanced at the thief dragons below. Perhaps they looked similar in the eyes of humans, but in the eyes of thief dragons, apart from the patterns, they could be distinguished by smell.

He is the biggest one here and the well-deserved leader.

He let out a roar that was not loud, but he successfully attracted the remaining thief dragons. These thief dragons may not know what he was going to do, but he knew it.

It would be a hunt across ecological niches.

Chapter 7: The Former Overlords

The thief dragons' gaze spread from the dense forest to the coast, and the scent of the scratching bird circled back to the spawning ground of the herbivorous dragon, where there was the nutrition it needed to heal its wounds.

The messy traces of grass and trees along the way show the plight of the scratching bird, and also explain why the big thief dragon finally gave up chasing the scratching bird.

There was no other reason. The speed of the stork at the moment of life and death was amazing. The dense forest that had previously hindered its movement actually saved its life. The branches of the dense forest were smashed and broken by it, but the giant thief dragon had to face the main trunks of the trees.

It is true that the Megathiasaurus can smash the trunks of those trees, but that is not a comfortable behavior. The force of its charge will be weakened, its mobility will be reduced, and when the back of the Scratching Bird disappears into the depths of the dense forest, its desire to attack also drops to the lowest point.

For it, if the scratching bird is still staying in its territory, it can just hit it again when it encounters it.

However, the scratching bird did not wander around on the shore as carefree as before. The smell lured Jijie to a hidden place built of stones and grass. The scratching bird was curled up, pecking at the herbivorous dragon eggs in its arms from time to time. There were eggshells and egg liquid scattered on the ground beside it.

Its originally bright and beautiful feathers had become messy while it was fleeing. One of its arms seemed to have been seriously injured and it could not hold the eggs with its claws. Half of its body was injured by the giant thief dragon, and blood was flowing out of the fresh wound.

Its appearance breeds the malice of the thief dragons, and the smell of blood floating in the air is their best courage tonic.

The thief dragons were discovered by the scratching bird before they got too close. The scratching bird stood up, and the dragon egg under its arm rolled down and hit the rock. It picked up a coconut with its intact claw and threw it at the thief dragons.

The coconuts fell to the ground, startling the thieves but failing to scare them away.

The thieves were so bold and daring that they dared to bite the fallen Tyrannosaurus Rex, so how could they be afraid of a wounded bird that was no more than eight meters long?

"hold head high!"

Ji Jie opened his mouth and let out a roar of challenge before scratching the bird.

The warmth of the blood flowed through the cool skin of the bird, but did not flow into its heart. It chose to escape. This was not the first time, but just one more time.

Ji Jie and his group of thief dragons naturally chose to chase after them. He could not give up such a good opportunity.

Where can the crickets go if they leave this coast?

There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on them, they become roads. This also applies to monsters.

Large monsters do not want to go deep into the dense forest to open up new roads, but often choose the roads left by the previous overlord when he patrolled the territory. These roads for large monsters to walk on are always passed down from generation to generation, and can almost perfectly complete the daily routine of an overlord patrolling the territory.

On such a road, the circling rabbits use their long ears to sense danger and hide in the tree walls on both sides of the road. Their judgment is rarely wrong.

A frantic bird appeared on the road, its legs moving madly, followed by a group of thief dragons.

During the chase, Ji Jie stared at the tip of the black tail swaying in front of him, and kept trying to stretch his neck to bite it while chasing.

"pia~"

The tip of its tail slipped away when it was about to fall into its mouth, and then it made a roundabout way and slapped him in the face. This move was very effective, and it successfully made him turn his head and pause, forcing him to distance himself again.

"On the open road, this guy is really hard to chase."

Ji Jie panted and allowed the thief dragons around him to pass him and reach the tempting tip of the bird's tail, but they all returned empty-handed without exception.

Some thief dragons had already stopped panting, and once they stopped, they never caught up again.

Ji Jie felt that the energy from the eggs he had eaten earlier had been completely consumed, not to mention the other thief dragons who rarely had a full stomach.

He roared, temporarily ending this useless chase. The thief dragons all needed to fill their stomachs, and being beaten by the scratching birds might be more comfortable than this chase.

I will go look for it later. If I keep chasing it, there will be no end. It is better to wait until the bird stops moving and then get to know it again and ambush it.

You don't always have the chance to eat herbivorous dinosaurs. Most of the time, thieves rely on preying on small animals to fill their stomachs. The range of small animals is also very wide, ranging from grasshoppers on the roadside to Archaeopteryx in the trees. When you are lucky, you can even eat mushroom pigs that come with a combination of meat and vegetables.

Don't underestimate the richness of ancient tree forests in this regard.

Archaeopteryx doesn't seem to be very delicious. How should I put it? Not only are there a lot of hairs when you chew it in your mouth, but there are also a lot of bones.

Ji Jie directly spat out the half-eaten Archaeopteryx in his mouth onto the ground, and it was soon taken away by a thief dragon. Seeing it eating it with a "crunch crunch" sound, other thief dragons came over and took some from its mouth.

He couldn't help but smack his lips and spit out the feather stuck between his teeth.

At this time, many thieves have been lost while walking, but other thieves have joined the team. These thieves seem to have familiar partners and have the concept of playing and resting. It is not appropriate to measure the intelligence of animals by human social norms.

Ji Jie shook his head and tried to pull the tails of other thief dragons and bite branches to practice death rolls, but such simple play was too boring for the soul of the terrifying upright ape. Knowing that he could not wait for the atmosphere of the so-called army ready to go, Ji Jie could only return to the place where he had broken off the pursuit.

Although it was just looking after itself, some of the other thief dragons still caught up with it. Dozens of thief dragons, good and bad, followed the remaining scent of the scratching bird.

The road suddenly opened up at the end, and the gravel on the ground was reflected by the sun, emitting a warm yellow color. It was a rocky beach.

Ji Jie lowered his head and picked up the gravel on the ground. The shiny things among them seemed to be the teeth of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and there were more interesting traces on the rocky mountain wall next to him.

The scarred rock walls were filled with huge impact marks, shattered cracks from explosions, and long grinding marks from thick blades.

The envious Thief Dragon leader spit out its tongue, as if caressing the traces left by the previous overlords. Compared with these, the fecal marks left by the Giant Thief Dragon in this area seemed humble and tacky.

We didn't stay here for too long, as nearby traces pointed the bird's whereabouts back to the forest.

But after taking two steps forward, no thief dragon followed him. Instead, a tingling and pungent smell rushed into his nose.

Ji Jie looked back and saw that the thief dragons were circling around a thief dragon that was lying on the ground and twitching. There was some yellow mist spreading around. He walked into the group of thief dragons and looked at it. There was a small hole on the ground next to the mouth of the fallen thief dragon. It looked very fresh, as if it had just been dug out.

"Gas frog?"

Combining the twitching appearance of the fallen thief dragon, he guessed the answer and planned to apply it to his hunting.

Chapter 8 All living beings are equal

Gas frog is a frog that often accumulates a large amount of gas in its mouth. The effect of the gas in its mouth can be roughly judged by its color, including sleeping gas, highly toxic gas and paralyzing gas.

These gas gases are often released when the gas frog is hit to help it escape.

The effect of this gas is extremely strong, even large monsters will be affected by it. In the game, it is called the Equality Frog.

The thief dragon that was paralyzed by the gas frog stood up on its own after a while, but it kept twitching a few times when moving, and it seemed that the effect could not be completely eliminated in a short time.

Ji Jie looked around the gravel slope, hoping to find another gas frog to make the hunt easier.

There was a wide stream upwind of the gravel slope. The thief dragon's pupils contracted as it caught a paralyzed gas frog under a dead tree by the stream.

But the question is how to catch this gas frog without letting it run away?

If it was killed in one strike, it wouldn't be able to escape, right? As for being paralyzed by the gas, Ji Jie didn't care. He treated it like a monster, and sooner or later, it would be paralyzed when it encountered a hunter.

Ji Jie walked downhill, intending to fight with Paralyzing Gas. He pushed back several thief dragons that wanted to follow him. The more dragons there were, the more noise they would make. He was also worried that he would be paralyzed and his frog would be taken away and eaten by other thief dragons.

He pretended not to see the gas frog and walked past it. After confirming that it didn't look at him, he quietly touched the back of the gas frog, which was its blind spot.

The gas frog didn't react at all, as if it didn't notice the hunter behind it. Ji Jie recalled the time when he was a child catching frogs in the fields. It was almost the same.

But the toad would not spit out any powerful gas that could paralyze large monsters. Thinking of this, Ji Jie stopped his actions cautiously, thinking about where he could be more cautious.

After releasing the gas, the gas frog will shrink and can quickly move away from the paralyzed predator's sight, so the angle of the bite must be chosen carefully. You must not bite the gas frog's bulging cheeks, as there is empty space there, and the bite will not be solid and fatal.

The best place to bite the gas frog is between its eyes. I think you should bite it horizontally?

Ok.

Ji Jie began to approach the gas frog cautiously. If it were still a human, he would be sweating profusely at this moment, right?

That feeling of time standing still came again, and Ji Jie watched the gas frog getting closer and closer——

Finally, the thief dragon's eye membrane flipped for a moment.

He only felt his sharp teeth tearing open a layer of soft things, and then, he felt a tingling sensation from the tip of his tongue throughout his body.

He felt very weak. He no longer had the strength or feeling to bite. The muscles in his body seemed to be peeling off piece by piece, and he could no longer feel or command them. He couldn't even open his eyes. His eyelids seemed to be tightly sewn together by lightning.

Ji Jie fell to the ground and twitched.

The gas was dissipating rapidly, and pieces of muscle rewrapped the nerves and stuck to his bones, allowing him to reassess the current situation.

His short kiss was tightly closed, and the paralysis made his muscles lose control, but when it came to biting, he gathered all his strength and gave it his all. This was not surprising. What really surprised him was that there was something soft in his mouth!

He licked it with his tongue, but unfortunately, his tongue, as the first organ to come into contact with the gas, was still twitching and he could not taste anything.

Out of excessive caution, Ji Jie didn't even bite it. He raised his head and swallowed the food in his mouth. Then he concentrated his mind and confirmed that a round yellow frog lit up on the totem wall.
