Chapter 31: Ankylosaur, the "Armored Tank" and Dakotaraptor, the "Hell Raptor"! (Please read on)
A week after leaving the territory.

Chu Xu and his family traveled along the Missouri River, crossed the vast mountains of the Rocky Mountains, and came to the endless North American prairie.

Due to the existence of the Western Interior Passage, there are large floodplains in the North American prairies, with many rivers flowing through the land, which sometimes flood and form new sedimentary layers.

During the rainy season when there is plenty of water, this place becomes a paradise for herbivorous dinosaurs, with lush water and grass and full of vitality.

However, with the arrival of the periodic dry season, this place will become a scene of withered grass, dry and withered yellow, food is scarce, and all things wither. From ancient times to the present, countless creatures have been buried here, forming many fossil bone beds for later generations over the years.

While following the Dragon Mother on the boundless barren grassland, Chu Xu checked his attribute panel——

[Name]: Chu Xu
Age: 10 months
[Race]: Agumon (male)
【Growth stage】: Adolescence

[Four-dimensional attributes]: Strength 380, Agility 380, Constitution 400, Spirit 390
[Evolution Points]: 10
[Skills]: Flame Claw, Flame Fang, Flash Charge, High-Speed ​​Movement

[Special move]: Small flame
[Achievements]: Overlord's Talent (Elementary), Telepathic Perception (Elementary), Fluid Armament (Elementary)

[Next Evolution Form]: Tyrannosaurus

……

During this period of time, Chu Xu's four-dimensional attributes have also been steadily increasing, and his physique has continued to grow rapidly.
The length from head to tail stretches to 3.5 meters, and the head height reaches the standard of 1 meters for a human male god in the previous life. The weight is close to 8 ton, and the size is comparable to a car.

In comparison, Chu Xu is now almost as long as Dragon Mother's tail, and his head can reach her thighs. He is no longer the half-grown turkey that was not even as big as Dragon Mother's feet when he was just born.

Longyue and Liuxing, who are of the same age, have physiques that correspond exactly to Chu Xu's. Their body length is equal to his tail length, and their head height is equal to his thigh height.

So when Chu Xu's family walked together, from Long Ma to Chu Xu and then to Longyue Liuxing, it was like layered buildings, staggered and scattered, full of a special sense of harmony.

However, due to the lack of prey and the reduction in the source of evolution points, Chu Xu's subsequent growth progress had to slow down.

"Alas, the food reserves are all gone. If we don't hunt new prey, we'll have nothing to do but starve."

Chu Xu retracted the attribute panel in front of him and faced the reality again. He could only sigh helplessly.

The long-distance migration consumes a lot of their physical strength. They also have to look for prey everywhere and find ways to hunt, which is extremely difficult.

"Roar~~"

Fortunately, God is not always so cruel. At this time, Long Ma and Chu Xu both smelled a strong smell lingering in the air.

If nothing unexpected happens, a group of herbivorous dinosaurs passed through this area not long ago.

Both Long Ma and Chu Xu's eyes lit up and they quickened their pace to rush in the direction where the smell came from.

After walking for less than half an hour, Chu Xu finally discovered this group of herbivorous dinosaurs.

It is a group of ankylosaurs known as "armored tanks". There are as many as forty or fifty of them in the cluster, which is quite large!
Ankylosaurus, whose full name is Large-faced Ankylosaurus, is a medium-sized herbivorous dinosaur of the genus Ankylosaurus in the family Ankylosauridae. It has short limbs and a bulky body. It is 6 meters long and can weigh up to 4 tons.

The iconic feature of the Ankylosaur is its armor that is armed to the teeth. The entire set of armor is composed of hundreds of block-shaped bone plates embedded in the skin, which is airtight, hard and thick, and has extremely high hardness and toughness. The surface of the bone plates is also densely covered with spinous processes, and there is a row of dagger-like spines on both sides of the body. Finally, there is a hammer-shaped thick tail, which can be used for both attack and defense, and can be called top-level equipment.

"These guys are just like walking durians."

When Chu Xu saw this group of ankylosaurs, he couldn't help but complain.

There are very few ankylosaurs in the Hell Creek Formation of North America, far fewer than Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, so Chu Xu had rarely seen their traces before.

However, their small number does not mean that they are easy to bully. With their top-level equipment, hunting them is very difficult. Small and medium-sized carnivorous dinosaurs will stay away from Ankylosaurs and dare not provoke them easily.

An adult Tyrannosaurus Rex could have hunted ankylosaurs, but the gains would outweigh the losses.

After all, all the attribute points of Ankylosaurus during its evolution have been added to its armor stacking defense. Although it is not light in weight, its meat yield is pitifully low. Unless you are really hungry, wouldn't it be better to hunt Triceratops and Edmontosaurus, which have more meat and are more numerous?

But now there is no time for Long Ma and Chu Xu to be picky. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. They have finally found such a group of ankylosaurs. Even if their bodies are made of bones, they have to eat them all up!

So Chu Xu and his family acted quickly, deliberately lowering their bodies and sneaking quietly towards the group of ankylosaurs.

"That is……"

However, just as Chu Xu approached the group of ankylosaurs, his telepathic perception detected several hungry hunters lying in ambush in another direction!
It was a group of Dakotaraptors, and they obviously targeted this group of ankylosaurs.

Dakotaraptor, a medium-sized carnivorous dinosaur of the genus Dakotaraptor in the family Dromaeosauridae, is known as the "Hell Raptor". It is much larger than the Styxraptor, which is also a Dromaeosauridae. It is 5.5 meters long and can weigh up to 450 kilograms!

Although it is large in size, Dakotaraptor is an undoubted speed hunter. Its body is covered with dense feathers, its slender tibia is much longer than its femur, and it has the iconic second claw of the hind limb of the dromaeosaurid family.

This makes them extremely agile and maneuverable, able to run and jump, and their lethality and strength should not be underestimated. They fully combine the speed advantage of small carnivorous dinosaurs with the size advantage of large carnivorous dinosaurs.

Moreover, Dakotaraptor also hunted in family units. With the cooperation of multiple Dakotaraptors, even large herbivorous dinosaurs could become their meal.

"Shh!"

The Dakotaraptor family took the lead in launching the attack. A pair of sub-adult Dakotaraptor brothers served as the vanguard, striding with their long legs, and their explosive short-distance sprint speed could reach over 60km/h!

Following closely behind was a pair of adult Dakotaraptor couple, one on the left and one on the right, serving as the main attacker and secondary attacker. The sickle-shaped second toe claws on the soles of their hind limbs could be transformed into the sickle of death at any time to reap lives!

"garrulous!!"

When they discovered the enemy was attacking, the group of ankylosaurs went into a panic, and their first reaction was to run away.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of Ankylosaurs, they are actually herbivorous dinosaurs, and they have an instinctive fear of carnivorous dinosaurs, which are their natural enemies, deep in their genes!
However, the Ankylosaur, with its short limbs and bulky body, couldn't even outrun the Tyrannosaurus Rex, let alone the speed-oriented Dakotaraptor.

The Dakotaraptor brothers, who were leading the way, easily caught up with the Ankylosaur that was at the end, and stood in front of the Ankylosaur, blocking its escape route.

Then, the Dakotaraptor couple approached from the left and right sides of the Ankylosaurus, opened their fangs and mouths wide, and bit the Ankylosaurus's hind thighs respectively!
