Chapter 37: The migration of dinosaurs! Undercurrents surge! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes)
The sun was shining brightly, and the air was almost still, sticky and thick, without a trace of wind.

Chu Xu only felt that the ground seemed to be roasted, with wisps of white smoke rising up that were visible to the naked eye, and it was very hot when he stepped on it.

Such high temperatures are extremely deadly for dinosaurs that do not have a perfect body temperature regulation function, especially large dinosaurs.

The larger the body size, the smaller the ratio of its surface area to volume, and the slower the heat dissipation. Once the body temperature is too high, it can easily lead to heat stroke and coma.

Especially for an organ like the brain that consumes a lot of energy, if there is too much temperature in the head that cannot be dissipated, the high temperature may cause the protein to deteriorate or degrade, directly burning the brain, and in severe cases leading to death.

In order to prevent their body temperatures from overheating, various large dinosaurs have developed their own special abilities during the long process of evolution.

For example, when the body temperature of Triceratops rises, the neck shield covered with blood vessels will become congested with blood, helping to dissipate the heat generated in the body and thus lower the body temperature.

Large theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus Rex had a special air sinus structure behind their nostrils, which also had abundant blood vessels passing through it.

Whenever the Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its mouth, the sinuses acted like bellows, allowing air to circulate through, cooling the rich network of blood flowing through it.

So Chu Xu and his family kept gasping for breath as they walked. Even so, it was still a bit torturous. They felt dry mouth and exhausted after not walking far.

"Food is a problem, but water is an even bigger problem."

Chu Xu sighed. After experiencing the horror of the dry season firsthand, he missed the beauty of the rainy season so much. He had food and water.

All the rivers along the way have dried up, but fortunately Chu Xu can still use his telepathic perception to find underground water sources. He only needs to dig a well at a location with a higher groundwater level, and cool, clear water will naturally gush out.

But in the past few days, Chu Xu couldn't even find a few underground water sources. Even if he dug out a well, there was only a pitiful amount of water, which was quickly drained by Chu Xu's family.

“Boom boom boom~~~”

As he walked, Chu Xu suddenly heard a deafening roar coming from afar.

When he stood on a high place and looked into the distance following the sound, he could see millions of dinosaurs gathered into a mighty steel torrent, rushing towards the direction where Chu Xu's family was.

Triceratops, Torosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Strange Dragon, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stygimoloch, Struthiomorpha, Leptoceratops...

Dinosaurs of all sizes were mixed together. The team was so long that you couldn't see the end at a glance. As they moved, they raised large clouds of dust, which sounded like a drum hitting the heart of the earth, magnificent and majestic.

That was a large group of migrating herbivorous dinosaurs from northern North America.

It was spectacular!

Chu Xu's expression was shocked. This was not only a top-notch visual feast, but also a hymn to the tenacious nature of life!
Survival is the eternal theme of animal migration. In the famous East African animal migration, only 30% of the animals can complete the long journey and return safely to their starting point.

During the migration, many lives are lost and more new lives are born. Everything is a microcosm of life and death in nature.

The journey of life is the same for any living thing.

Birth, growth, maturity, reproduction, raising young, aging, death… The world is so vast and all things are flourishing, but this is the fate that no living thing can change.

But this is not a reincarnation that repeats itself over and over again. The birth, aging, illness and death of the previous generation are exchanged for the rebirth and continuation of the next generation. This is the greatest glory of life!
"Ho~~~"

Seeing the large group of migrating herbivorous dinosaurs appear, Mother Dragon roared low at the three little Tyrannosaurus Rex, and her voice was full of excitement.

The appearance of large-scale migrating groups of herbivorous dinosaurs indicates that the migration route they chose was correct.

Moreover, so many herbivorous dinosaurs gathered together were like a mobile granary for them, with an inexhaustible supply of food.

Coincidentally, the carnivorous dinosaurs followed the main group as the "tail". Soon, after the main group of herbivorous dinosaurs passed by, Chu Xu's family also followed them from a distance, waiting for the end of this dry season migration.

……

A few days later, after more than a month's long journey, the huge migrating group of herbivorous dinosaurs crossed half of the North American prairie and were not far from their destination.

The sun was high in the sky, scorching gold and sparkling stones. Looking down from the sky, countless small black dots dotted the barren wilderness with no grass, swaying and shaking in the scorching dry heat wave.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a dull sound came from the large army.

It was a Triceratops that was almost starving to the point of skin and bones and fell to the ground. It tried several times to get up again, but was powerless.

The other Triceratops passing by turned a blind eye to this and continued moving forward.

They are all in a difficult situation and can barely save themselves, so how can they have the energy to care about other companions?
After a while, the fallen Triceratops stopped moving, closed its eyes and waited for death to come.

After a long time, when the Triceratops had become a corpse, the carnivorous dinosaurs behind the large group rushed forward to share it.

The suffering of these herbivorous dinosaurs was a free meal for the carnivorous dinosaurs.

Chu Xu's family was naturally no exception. Following the large group over the past few days, they no longer had to worry about food. They didn't even need to actively hunt. Similar food would be delivered to their door almost every day, enough for them to eat their fill.

Suddenly, the herbivorous dinosaurs at the front of the large group became agitated and sped up to rush in a certain direction.

Their keen sense of smell has detected the location of food and water.

Soon, the herbivorous dinosaurs, who couldn't wait to run forward, discovered a large oasis in front of them.

There are many swamps, with a thin layer of water on the surface soil, and dense mosses and short shrubs growing on it.

oasis!

When Chu Xu discovered this paradise-like place through telepathy, he was also cheered up.

The appearance of the large oasis before their eyes was undoubtedly a miracle of rain after a long drought for these herbivorous dinosaurs who had been migrating and were extremely hungry and thirsty!

“Boom boom boom~~~”

A single stone caused a thousand ripples. All the herbivorous dinosaurs in the large group became excited and swarmed into the swamp. The scene was like a whirlwind sweeping away everything.

Considering their number, I am afraid that this rare oasis will not be able to withstand it and will disappear soon.

However, the herbivorous dinosaurs were so absorbed in their pursuit that they did not notice that the owners of the swamps had been awakened by the huge noise outside. Their cold vertical pupils suddenly opened and stared at these uninvited guests who had entered their territory.

Beneath the seemingly calm water, undercurrents are surging.
