Chapter 30 The Ancestor of Primates? The “Dwarf Tyrant” Nanotyrannosaurus! (Please read on)
At the top of the trunk of a tall sycamore tree, a Purgatorius monkey that had just woken up quietly emerged from another hidden tree hole, preparing to go out to look for food.

This is the earliest and most primitive lower primate, and the ancestor of all primates in later generations.

The Purgatorius monkey is only 15 cm long. Although it is a monkey, it does not look like a monkey at all, but more like a squirrel.

It has a long pointed head, big round eyes, small sharp teeth in its mouth, a furry body, a big tail, long and powerful limbs, and curved claws that can be used to climb trees flexibly. It is a true loose rat.

They are typically arboreal mammals that feed on insects and fruits.

"Zhizhi~~"

The Purgatorius monkey, which had just come out of the cave, saw several Troodontids running hurriedly in panic in the night.

The Troodon was the natural enemy of the Purgatorius, and the timid Troodon was immediately scared back into the tree hole.

Only after confirming that there was no movement outside did the Purgatorius monkey carefully stick its head out of the tree hole, and found that the Troodontosaurs were nowhere to be seen, and finally slowly crawled out.

At this time, the Purgatorius monkey smelled a strong smell of blood in the air, which was very close.

Standing high up on the top of the sycamore tree, it could use its excellent night vision to clearly see three huge pits on the ground where the smell of blood came from.

And in the pit, there were a number of Troodonts lying there with their bodies in a miserable state of death!

At this moment, the young mind of the Purgatorius monkey was greatly shocked.

Chu Xu, who was still asleep at the time, had no idea how great an impact his unintentional actions had brought to the earliest ancestors of primates in later generations.

When Chu Xu woke up early the next morning, he went to check the trap. As expected, the thieves had been caught!
"It turned out to be a group of Troodon."

Seeing the Troodonts that had been dead in the trap for a long time, Chu Xu shook his head and laughed.

Unexpectedly, the Troodon, the dinosaur with the highest IQ, became the first lucky person in history to fall into a trap and die.

However, the high intelligence of Troodon is only limited to the category of dinosaurs as reptiles. There is a big gap compared with later mammals, let alone humans.

The only pity is that killing so many Troodon using traps does not bring any evolutionary points to Chu Xu.

It seems that the system will only calculate the evolution points for prey killed by oneself, while prey killed with the help of external factors such as traps will be ignored.

But the corpses of these Troodon cannot be wasted. They can be used to make up for the loss of smoked meat in the past two days.

First, Chu Xu used liquid weapons to wrap part of his body to strengthen his defense and prevent accidental injuries.

Then he carefully entered the trap pit and threw the corpses of one Troodon after another high onto the ground.

After collecting all the Troodon corpses, Chu Xu leaped up with great explosive power and easily jumped out of the two-meter-deep trap pit.

Chu Xu has also proven the effectiveness of the trap through practice. It is a terrifying killing weapon that is hard to defend against for dinosaurs and other animals in the Cretaceous period. It is simple to make and has remarkable results.

These three trap holes can be reused in the future, ready to trap thieves who want to steal food. After a busy morning, Chu Xu dealt with the corpses of the Troodon and rebuilt the smoking grill. The blazing bonfire produced thick black smoke, smoking pieces of fresh raw meat.

……

Another week passed, and the smoked meat made from Troodon meat was ready.

When Chu Xu brought it back to share with Long Ma, Long Yue and Liu Xing, they all widened their eyes and started to devour it voraciously.

I could smell the mellow aroma, the meat was fat but not greasy, lean but not stiff, and it left a long aftertaste.

Its calories are also higher than the original raw meat, and after eating it can provide more sufficient energy for normal metabolism and activities.

However, even if Chu Xu worked hard to make so much reserve food, it would be exhausted in no time if there was no subsequent prey and food to replenish it.

In the past week, Chu Xu has captured very few prey.
All the medium and large herbivorous dinosaurs in the territories of Dragon Mom and even Dragon Dad have disappeared, and the fish in the dried-up rivers have become extinct. Only insects, lizards, and salamanders occasionally appear and are active. It can be said that all things are withering!
"Roar--!!"

Finally, Dragon Mother made a major decision.

Temporarily give up the little land under your feet and follow the migrating herbivorous dinosaurs all the way to the southeast, competing with other carnivorous dinosaurs for new territories, and return after the dry season!
That morning, the faint light of the rising sun was like a delicate brushstroke, gradually outlining the contours of the earth from the dark canvas of the night.

While the temperature had not risen yet and there was a breeze blowing, the Mother of Dragons woke up early, called her three little Tyrannosaurus Rex, and took them on a migration journey.

Not only the Dragon Queen, who is the lord of this territory, but also the many carnivorous dinosaurs living in it could no longer hold back and began to migrate back and forth.

There are the "Hellhounds" Stygiraptor herds, which are small but fast and agile and move in groups;

The Troodon group of "Hell Coyotes" have high intelligence, strong senses, and know how to work together and work together;
There is also the medium-sized Dakotaraptor, which combines both strength and speed and is known as the "Hell Raptor".
In addition, an unexpected figure appeared!
This is a large Tyrannosaurus with a body length of more than 7 meters, with the huge and ferocious head, broad and sturdy body, thick hind legs and heavy tail that are the hallmarks of Tyrannosaurus dinosaurs.

However, this is not a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Its forelimbs are particularly slender, and its teeth are short, blade-like, which are quite different from the appearance of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

If Chu Xu were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this is the Dwarf Tyrannosaurus Rex known as the "Dwarf Tyrant"!
Nanotyrannosaurus is a large carnivorous dinosaur of the genus Tyrannosaurus in the family Tyrannosauridae. It also lived in the Hell Creek Formation of North America. When its fossils were first discovered, paleontologists thought it was an immature Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But soon paleontologists discovered that there were many differences between Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus Rex, so they separated it out as a new species. The name Nanotyrannus means a dwarf version of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Roar!!"

After Chu Xu and his family left, this dwarf Tyrannosaurus broke into the core territory of the Dragon Mother in a dignified manner, sniffing the remaining scent here with its nostrils, and its eyes flashed with ferocious and violent light.

If nothing unexpected happens, there were once three young Tyrannosaurus Rex living here.

If we allow them to continue to grow, they will inevitably become our competitors in the future and take up more resources and space.

Next, it’s time to find an opportunity to eliminate these potential threats!
