Babana and Pado stayed near the nest. When they saw Gulu awake, Babana happily rubbed Gulu's little body and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom will take you to eat delicious food."
Gulu hurriedly answered as he climbed outside the nest: "Mom, I'm not hungry. Pado, can you take me to Mungo? He went to the volcano. I must stop him! If we get there late, he'll die!"
Babana froze. She didn't hear what Gulu said later. She only heard: Mom, I'm not hungry. Mom! Gulu called her Mom!
Pado didn't know what danger the volcano had. Since Gulu wanted to go, he would take him there. Gulu just returned to the Triceratops. He was definitely not used to being here and must miss Mungo and Gaya very much. Pado was very accommodating to Gulu. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Pado lowered his head to the ground and called out, "Climb up. I'll take you there."
Gulu quickly tried to climb up Pado's horns, but the horn shield was too large for his smaller size. Babana immediately picked up Gulu and placed him firmly on Pado's back.
Pado spoke to Babana, "We'll be back soon. Take care of Pachi and Dudu. Don't let them run off."
Babana nodded and replied, "I know. Don't worry."
Pado galloped away with Gulu on his back. Other Triceratopses were very alert and gave up a broad path for them.
Babana stared at the back of Pado and Gulu as they raced away. The sound of Gulu calling her Mom still rang in her ears. She happily ran circles around the nest: Mom, Mom, Gulu called me Mom!
An adult Triceratops was just like a heavy-duty mecha. When running, it greatly shook the ground. Pachi and Dudu, who remained asleep, were completely woken up. They saw Babana, who ran in circles, without seeing their brother: Why is Mom so happy?! Where's my brother?
In fact, Gulu was too anxious just now. He didn't even realize that he subconsciously shouted out Mom at Babana.
This was probably the wonderful thing about blood relationship. Even if Gulu only returned for less than a day, he appeared to have lived with this family since he was young. He didn't need any adaptation period at all and already adjusted himself without his own notice.
Pado ran very fast. They soon left the ethnic group.
Gulu felt the wind whistling in his ears. Pado was the fastest runner of all Triceratopses, but the volcano was too far away from here. Even if Pado sprinted faster, it would be too late.
Besides, a Triceratops was too large to support a fast run for long.
Gulu: "Dad, if you're tired, take a rest. Don't rush so fast. You won't be able to stand it …"
Pada ran even faster. Gulu called him Dad ah! He felt that he suddenly gained endless strength and could race like this forever.
In fact, Gulu didn't even realize that he shouted Dad to Pado. He's just too worried about Mungo. He also felt very distressed for Pado, fearing that he would be too tired.
At this moment, there're several screams in the sky. The sound was too familiar to Gulu!
He looked up and saw Cassie! Gulu knew that Cassie was here to help him. His cry was an absolute submission to the leader. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
The huge Cassie hovered in mid-air. Gulu felt that Cassie looked just like a Sun Bird and was undoubtedly his archangel.
Gulu called out to Pado, "Dad, stop. Don't run. Put me down."
Pado also heard the screech of the pterosaur. He didn't know Cassie. But Pado, as the strongest Triceratops leader, had no dinosaurs in the whole continent of Yukan that he was afraid of. He certainly wouldn't fear pterosaurs. They didn't even enter his eyes.
Since Gulu told him to stop, Pado came to a halt and let Gulu drop to the ground.
Soon, Cassie landed three meters away from Pado. Pado was a great Triceratops. Even if Gulu was there, Cassie was still very afraid of Pado and didn't dare to stay close to him.
Gulu said to Pado, "Dad, this Quetzalcoatlus is called Cassie. He belongs to Nassau's ethnic group. I am the second leader of his ethnic group. He will absolutely obey me. Don't worry, he won't hurt me. He has carried me many times. I'll ask him to take me to the volcano …"
Pado blocked Gulu with his stout forelimbs and refused, "No way! Nassau said you're the leader, and you believe him?! Are you a pterosaur? Can you fly? How can you be the leader of pterosaurs?! If he throws you down, can you still live?! …"
Gulu knew that it would be difficult for Pado to trust these pterosaurs. He continued to explain: "If Nassau wants me dead, I couldn't have left the cave alive. If Cassie wants to kill me, he would have dropped me when he flew me over …"
But no matter how Gulu explained it, Pado didn't agree, "No way! A No is a No! Get on my back and I'll take you to the volcano!"
One couldn't blame Pado for worrying. As long as the pterosaur flew up into the sky, Pado couldn't help Gulu. This was about Gulu's life. He wouldn't let Gulu take risks in any situation that he couldn't control.
Gulu was really too anxious about Mungo. While Pado was lying on the ground, he rushed to Cassie at full speed and shouted as he raced off, "Dad, you don't have to worry. Cassie really won't hurt me. I'll be back! I'll come back soon!"
Pado stood up and chased after him, yelling, "Gulu! Come back here!"
However, a Triceratops's huge size didn't allow it to get up fast after laying down. By the time Pado managed to get up and chase, Gulu already reached Cassie's front.
He turned into a human being and climbed up Cassie's back skillfully, then hurriedly shouted, "Cassie! Fly quickly!"
Cassie immediately ran to take off. When Pado arrived at Cassie's location, he used his horn to hit the pterosaur's tail. But he was too late to stop them and allowed Cassie to fly away.
Besides, Pado was afraid that if he hurt this pterosaur, he would also harm Gulu. If he knocked down this pterosaur, Gulu would fall down as well. This height would probably smash him.
In addition, Gulu had become a human being. Pado thought that this human form looked even more likely to fall to death.
Pado could only watch helplessly as the giant Quetzalcoatlus took away his son. He's very worried and let out a loud roar then ran after Cassie.
Cassie was scared to death just now. Pado almost hit him. Pado's horns were so long and his height was so tall. If Pado pierced through him, he would die!
Until he flew high into the air, Cassie was still in shock. He cried to Gulu, "Your father is terrible! He scared me to death!"
Gulu didn't pay any attention to Cassie. He held Cassie's neck tightly and turned to look at Pado, who was running after them with a loud roar. Tears blurred his eyes. He apologized in his heart, "Dad, I'm sorry. After I save Mungo, you can beat and scold me."
Then Gulu stopped looking at Pado. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears then gently patted Cassie's neck three times with his hand. This meant: fly faster, fly faster, fly faster!
Cassie had carried Gulu many times. His signals included: fly faster, turn slowly and go straight. The simplest operations had long been coded through the use of this hand-patting.
Just now Cassie heard the conversation between Gulu and Pado. Gulu told Pado not to run too fast, for fear of exhausting him.
Cassie really wanted to give Gulu a dirty look: You're so afraid of tiring Pado and let him slow down. Aren't you afraid of exhausting me when telling me to fly faster? Does your younger brother deserve no feelings?!…. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
(T/N: 'younger brother' can also means 'follower')
Although Cassie was frantically raving in his heart, he still flew with the fastest speed in his dinosaur life and warned, "Hold on tight. Don't blame me if you fall down later."
Gulu couldn't wait for Cassie to fly at the speed of light. He's already familiar with the accelerated pace of a flying dinosaur and could control himself. Even if Cassie soared very fast, he still flew smoothly. Gulu wasn't scared at all.
Then Gulu slapped Cassie twice on his left neck, which meant that he had better take the nearest route and fly straight. Cassie fully understood it.
The principle of moving in a straight line between two points was impossible to achieve on the ground, but it could be perfectly realized in the air. Quetzalcoatlus had a very strong sense of direction and could certainly fly straight.
Before long, Pado no longer saw any sight of Gulu and the giant pterosaur, but he still ran desperately. He wanted to get to the volcano as soon as possible. He's not at ease leaving Gulu alone.
Mungo and his brothers were hunting a group of Hadrosaurus. In addition to Mungo's team, five very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex were also attacking them.
This group of Hadrosaurus only had a few dozen, obviously they were separated from the larger army. Dozens of Hadrosaurus were really heaven-sent hunting objects. Mungo immediately called on his brothers to come and hunt together.
Mungo discovered these Hadrosaurus on the edge of his territory. In order to escape the predation of Tyrannosaurus rex, they frantically fled and quickly escaped from Mungo's territory.
However, the direction of their escape didn't belong to the territory of any other Tyrannosaurus rex, so Mungo followed after with his brothers without hesitation.
While chasing this group of Hadrosaurus, they eventually passed through several Tyrannosaurus rex territories. Seeing such good hunting objects, the Tyrannosaurus rex in these territories also got attracted and followed Mungo to chase these Hadrosaurus together.
Carnivorous dinosaurs had a tacit understanding that they would not attack each other when hunting. Only after the prey fell down and there was not enough for everyone to eat would they start to rob.
In summary, the principle of carnivorous dinosaurs was that when hunting, they all fought together to kill the prey first. After killing the prey, how to distribute it depended on their respective abilities.
However, it's very rare for different ethnic groups of Tyrannosaurus rex to hunt together. They were very territorial and would not allow other Tyrannosaurus rex to appear on their own territory. In contrast, other carnivorous dinosaurs could often hunt together with Tyrannosaurus rex.
There was only one possible situation for different groups of Tyrannosaurus rex to hunt side by side. It's when the hunting ground didn't belong to any of their territories.
These dozens of Hadrosaurus were really stupid. Their escape direction didn't belong to the territory of any Tyrannosaurus rex. The volcano nearby was very barren. No Tyrannosaurus rex would take this as its own land.
Hadrosaurus lived in groups. The largest of them could grow more than 21 meters in length. They were large herbivorous dinosaurs. Their hind legs were long and powerful while their heads were covered with crests. Their front face formed a duckbill-shaped snout, so they were called duck-billed dinosaurs.
The smallest Hadrosaurus group had at least 100 members. Usually, they numbered in the several hundred. The larger the herbivorous groups, the more difficult and dangerous for carnivorous dinosaurs to hunt them. But there're only a few dozen Hadrosaurus here, which were like preys being sent to their mouths. There was no reason not to eat!
However, Hadrosaurus had long and powerful hind legs. They ran very fast. "Fast running" was their main survival skill.
Therefore, when Tyrannosaurus rex hunted these Hadrosaurus, the biggest difficulty was to catch up with them. As long as they caught up, these preys would definitely enter their mouths.
Mungo was followed by his brothers and five very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex that joined along the way.
They had already arrived at the volcano, which was full of billowing volcanic ashes and hot springs rolling with heat wave.
The Hadrosaurus could really run. These Tyrannosaurus rex were far behind.
This group of Hadrosaurus, relying on their strong ability to run, dashed off like the wind while seeming to mock them, "Hehehe, come on, you can have me if you can catch up …"
A very conceited Hadrosaurus even dared to stop for a moment and shook its butts at the ferocious and bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus rex behind it, as if to say: "Why are you running so slowly? Come and eat me. My meat is delicious. It's a pity you can't eat it. I'll exhaust you to death. You fools. So slow …" !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
This group of Tyrannosaurus rex was very angry. They really wanted to run faster and tore these Hadrosaurus alive. However, they felt dizzy and couldn't run as fast as usual.
Mungo found out that he wasn't just dizzy. The wounds bitten by those male Tyrannosaurus rex on Ulam's territory the night before yesterday were now burning and painful. But he didn't care about them. He would eat these preys today!
The running Hadrosaurus suddenly stopped. In front of them was a hot spring with ultra-high temperature. The water in it was bubbling noisily. Before they even got close, they already felt that they were going to be roasted whole just from the heat!
Because it's close to the crater, the temperature was extremely high.
This group of Hadrosaurus instantly panicked. Behind them were Tyrannosaurus rex, bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus rex. In front of them were boiling water that could scald the flesh off any dinosaur. There was no way out.
These Tyrannosaurus rex were certainly happy. Let this group of preys mock them before! Now, it's their turn to strike back!
They instantly rushed into the Hadrosaurus group. Two or three of them bit down on one head at a time. Soon, many of the dozen Hadrosaurus were killed and fell to the ground with a thick scent of blood.
The rest of the Hadrosaurus were scared to death. One of them couldn't bear such great psychological pressure. It turned and jumped into the hot spring. A sad cry immediately echoed out. Soon, it disappeared once the Hadrosaurus stopped struggling and sank to the bottom.
Tyrannosaurus rex were famous for their cruelty. Even if they couldn't finish eating so many preys, who let these Hadrosaurus dared to mock them just now. Now the red-eyed Tyrannosaurus rex killed and destroyed all of them!
After killing these preys, the problem of food distribution immediately appeared. Even though today's preys were more than enough for them all, every Tyrannosaurus rex only wanted to eat the fattest prey. Tyrannosaurus rex always strived for competitive victory.
Mungo and his brothers obviously had an absolute advantage. They were ferocious and roared at the other five Tyrannosaurus rex while occupying the fattest prey.
Just as they were preparing to eat, Mungo heard the screams of a pterosaur in the sky. Normally, pterosaurs would never come to the volcano. He looked up and saw the pterosaur carrying Gulu in his human form!
Gulu waved and shouted loudly at Mungo, regardless of whether Mungo could understand: "Mungo, get out of here. Don't eat. There're poison gases. You will die! Get out of here …"
Of course, Mungo didn't understand his human speech at all, but he became very nervous and scared. Mungo stared at the pterosaur in the sky. He's afraid that Gulu was in danger, fearing that he would fall off.
Cassie didn't feel as much heat wave because he's so high up, but it's still too hot for him. He asked, "Gulu, it's too hot here. Will my wings burn out?"
Gulu patted him on the neck to express comfort. This temperature was not enough to burn a pterosaur's wings.
What distressed Gulu most now was how he could make Mungo give up these prey!
Of course, he noticed that Mungo was worried about him. He had been staring up at the pterosaur with his neck tilted and had completely forgotten to eat his meat.
Gulu immediately thought of a way, he patted the pterosaur's neck. Cassie immediately flew to the outside of the volcano.
Mungo was very worried about Gulu and ran after the pterosaur. When Mungo's brothers saw that the boss had left, they hesitated whether to follow him or not.
They had completely exhausted themselves to chase these preys. They even competed with five adult Tyrannosaurus rex and finally won the fattest meat with difficulty. It's impossible to give up.
In the end, half of them decided to stay here to guard their prey, while the rest followed Mungo and ran out.
Once Gulu decided that they moved out of the "poison circle", he patted the pterosaur's neck. Cassie immediately stopped.
Mungo also quickly raced over.
Gulu motioned for Cassie to fall beside Mungo, but Mungo had too many Tyrannosaurus rex. Cassie was scared of being attacked and questioned, "Are you sure Mungo won't bite me? Mungo doesn't seem to like pterosaurs much …"
Gulu nuzzled Cassie's neck with his head and pointed down. This move was his consolation to Cassie: "Rest assured. Mungo will definitely not attack you, I promise!" At the same time, it was also a leader's command.
Cassie was still greatly afraid. In a particularly hot place, the wind speed was slow, and the air flow was chaotic. Pterosaurs couldn't take off quickly. This was why Cassie hesitated here.
However, a leader's order couldn't be refuted. At the end, Cassie still stopped three meters away from Mungo. Gulu immediately jumped off Cassie's back and turned into a Triceratops while shouting: "Mungo, don't attack Cassie!"
Mungo's brothers were ready to attack the pterosaur one by one. Only when they heard Gulu did they packed up their fangs.
Cassie was scared and immediately flew back into the sky. Only in the sky did he feel safe.
Gulu raced toward Mungo while Mungo also dashed to Gulu. They didn't know why, but after one night apart, the two missed each other very much. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Mungo stopped in front of Gulu, who quickly shouted, "Mungo! Let your other brothers come out. Don't eat this meat here. There're poison gases. They will be poisoned!"
Gulu smelled sulfur in the air and there was a thick scent of corpses in some places. It proved that there're many dead dinosaurs near here. They must have been dead for a long time and rotted badly.
Mungo didn't know what poisonous gases were or understood that he felt dizzy because of them. But Gulu said so and he would believe him, even though he felt it's a pity to leave behind so many preys.
Since it's really an emergency, Gulu urged: "Mungo! Quick, tell them to come out!"
Mungo let out roars after roars, calling the rest of his brothers to leave.
The rest of the male Tyrannosaurus rex felt very puzzled. They had a hard time getting their prey and it's so fat and delicious. Why did Mungo want them to give up?
One of those who stayed behind was Monroe. Monroe was very angry: "Is my brother crazy? Don't let us eat such delicious meat. We tired ourselves out hunting and haven't eaten a mouthful ah …"
However, even if they didn't understand, they would definitely obey Mungo's orders. All of them ran out.
The remaining five adult Tyrannosaurus rex were overjoyed. Mungo's group helped them kill all their preys. They even left without eating a bite. Ha, ha, ha, where could you find such a good thing! Mungo was really a fool!
The five adult Tyrannosaurus rex knew Gulu. They realized that Mungo didn't eat this meat because Gulu came. All of them thought that Mungo was crazy. As long as it came to Gulu, Mungo was insane.
Monroe looked at Gulu. He knew that it must be Gulu again!
Other male Tyrannosaurus rex couldn't understand, but they didn't dare to say anything. Monroe, however, stared at Gulu and demanded, "Why don't you let us eat meat? Is brother insane? How can you listen to what this cub says? What does he even know? …"
This reminded Monroe of the disgusting fern plant that his brother once made them eat because of Gulu. He's surer that whenever his brother met Gulu, he would go crazy!
Although Monroe now liked Gulu very much, he was still very angry that Gulu wouldn't let them eat meat while his brother actually agreed?!
Gulu: "Monroe, believe me. There're poison gases. You will be poisoned if you eat meat here …"
In fact, Gulu also knew that Monroe wouldn't listen to him. He felt that Monroe's heart must be like this: I won't believe in your ghost! You little brat, you are very bad!
Sure enough, he mumbled, "What poison gases? So many dinosaurs came here to hunt, why haven't they been poisoned …"
Gulu would like to tell him: Of course, there may be some who didn't get poisoned. However, many of them must be poisoned, but all of them are dead and can't come out to tell you that there are poisonous gases here, so you won't know!
Mungo glared at Monroe who immediately shut up. But what Monroe thought was: Humph, Gulu is too much. He doesn't want us to eat meat. He must tread on my back and step on me to sleep later. Otherwise, I won't forgive him!
Gulu knew that although Monroe's mouth was cheap, his heart wasn't bad, so he didn't care about it.
Moluo suddenly pointed, "Look, there's a Tyrannosaurus rex on the ground! It's really poisonous!"
They all looked toward his said direction.
First, a Tyrannosaurus rex fell to the ground. The other Tyrannosaurus rex looked around them puzzled. Then, they suddenly realized something and wanted to run out without eating.
But it's too late. They didn't have the strength to run. They just took two steps before falling to the ground one by one.
Before they died, they looked out in despair: "Yes, poison …"
Gulu looked at these very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex that dropped to the ground and was horrified. Fortunately, he arrived in time, or Mungo would have died here!
Volcanic eruptions would produce a toxic gas called carbon monoxide, which was heavier than air and would accumulate near the earth's surface. As long as predators buried themselves in eating meat, they would die from inhaling a large amount of carbon monoxide.
If a dinosaur successfully hunt here and ate meat on the spot when there was no wind on the same day, it would certainly die of poisoning.
Mungo and his brothers came here to hunt before, but they didn't eat within the poison gas circle, so they were not poisoned. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
In fact, many dinosaurs had come here to hunt. The reason why they didn't die was that their large size saved them. Carbon monoxide was deposited on the surface of the earth (T/N: on the ground). As long as they didn't lower their heads or fall down, they would only inhale a small amount of carbon monoxide and just feel dizzy. They could still come out.
But if they ate meat or fall to the ground, they would never leave again.
Gulu used to be a paleontologist. When studying dinosaur fossils, he found that some of them were poisoned by carbon monoxide.
In the history of the earth, at the end of Cretaceous period, the continents finally gradually took shape as they appeared today. The frequent movement of the earth's crust caused global volcanic activities and large-scale volcanic eruptions that lasted for hundreds of years.
At present, the planet belonged to the early Cretaceous period, about 80 million years from the end of its timeline. Volcanic activity was not frequent yet, but it still occurred more often than earth in the 21st century.
Now the time period of this planet was very suitable for the survival of dinosaurs, which could be said to be the heyday of dinosaurs.
Dinosaur's golden era was 80 million years old. The earliest human beings appeared less than 2 million years even when counting up to the 21th century. Today's human civilization was really too short compared with the age of dinosaurs.
Monroe froze. He didn't expect that there're really poisons here!
It took him quite a while to react. He bowed his head and rubbed against Gulu, "Gulu. You are too good! How do you know it's poisonous here? If it wasn't for you, we would all be dead. You're too good. Later, you can be my big brother …"
Gulu was somewhat embarrassed when he was praised. He said, "It's okay as long as you're all right. You mustn't bully me anymore. Otherwise, I'll hit you, I'll hit you, hum …"
Monroe: "No, absolutely not. If I bully you again, I'll turn into a Triceratops!"
Gulu: "What did you say?!"
In the world of Tyrannosaurus rex, changing into a Triceratops was the most vicious curse, because Triceratops was food to be eaten. Gulu was a Triceratops, of course he was angry.
Monroe hurriedly coaxed, "I was wrong. Triceratops is the most powerful. Triceratops is the best. Gulu is the best in the world …"
Other Male Tyrannosaurus rex: emmm…… …
Gulu knew that it's really not easy for Monroe to say this. How did he feel that Monroe suddenly changed from being an arrogant dinosaur to a licking dog?!
Mungo rubbed Gulu lightly. Gulu must be very anxious when he rushed all the way here. Mungo felt very distressed.
At this time, Gulu noticed that Mungo's wounds were festering. So did those of his younger brothers. They must be very painful. There're too many toxic gases and ashes in this volcanic air.
These ashes were nothing to an uninjured dinosaur, but it's fatal to the dinosaur with large wounds on its body surface since they easily caused infection and ulceration.
The only treatment was to find the cleanest hot spring in the vicinity, with the right temperature to wash away the ashes adhering to these wounds, in order to prevent them from being infected.
Pado finally arrived. He panted heavily and ran to Gulu's side, ignoring all of the Tyrannosaurus rex around him.
Gulu rubbed Pado who was full of anger, "Dad, I'm sorry. I was too worried. If I come later, Mungo and the others will die. Look over there …"
Pado stared at the Tyrannosaurus rex and Hadrosaurus that died all over the place. He was shocked. This was beyond his understanding as a dinosaur. It turned out that this place could really poison dinosaurs. Even Tyrannosaurus rex couldn't escape. Why didn't other dinosaurs tell this to them?
Of course, all of the dinosaurs that got poisoned before were dead. But this time Mungo and his brothers managed to come out alive after seeing the tragedy. News of poisoning near the volcano would soon spread to the whole continent of Yukan and saved countless dinosaurs in the future.
Gulu went on to say, "Dad, a Quetzalcoatlus really won't hurt me. Look, that pterosaur sent me here safely, right? …"
Pado and Mungo both looked at the huge pterosaur flying in the air at the same time. They were lost in thought while thinking that maybe these pterosaurs weren't so bad.
In fact, Gulu didn't know why he suddenly trusted Cassie so much. He's not afraid of Cassie flying him halfway then took him to the cave and never let him come back, probably because he had no other choice. He didn't have time to think so much since he needed to save Mungo at all costs. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Although Pado was very angry, he' still glad to see Gulu alright. He rubbed Gulu and reproached, "Don't frighten me like this again."
Gulu hurriedly nodded, then rubbed Mungo and spoke: "Your injuries will become serious if you touch the ashes here. You must wash them. I'll take you to a hot spring."
Mungo and his brothers felt very painful, but Tyrannosaurus rex were never afraid of pain. Mungo refused, "No, Gulu, we're fine. We'll be fine in two days."
Tyrannosaurus rex never washed their wounds. They didn't think it's necessary and sometimes washing wounds would worsen the injuries.
Gulu stood firm, "You must wash them. The ashes here are different from dusts in other places. If you don't wash them, your injuries will get worse and you'll die!"
Mungo saw the poisoned Tyrannosaurus rex and finally listened to Gulu.
Gulu didn't bother to give Mungo any professional talk about festering infections or disinfection using the clean hot springs near the volcano. Dinosaurs couldn't understand these words.
Pado was not hurt, but Gulu still said, "Dad, you should go with us. It's comfortable to soak in hot springs!"
Even if Gulu didn't ask him to go, Pado would still follow. Mungo's injuries looked more serious. He's not at ease leaving Gulu to him.
As the result, a group of dinosaurs began to move out under the guidance of Gulu, who carefully searched for the cleanest and most suitable hot spring.
It couldn't be close to the crater because the temperature was too high. If there're less vegetations around, the hot spring wasn't clean enough.
They walked onward. This barren volcanic land still dotted with rare green areas, but they were too small.
Gulu continued until he reached the edge of the volcano. The ferns here were already very luxuriant and didn't look very different from other places outside.
Finally, Gulu found several large hot springs behind a lush fern field.
The landform here was very special. Several large hot springs were separated by a large rockery. Luxuriant ferns and many flowers surrounded these hot springs. Large butterflies were gathering flowers and honey. The beauty was indescribable.
In the early Cretaceous period, dinosaurs saw very few flowers. They were not used to their strong smell and couldn't help sneezing, but soon they got used to them and felt they smelt very fragrant and good.
The water temperature in the hot spring was just right with the water quality being very clear. One could see the big rocks at the bottom of the hot spring at a glance. All of the hot springs here were large enough to accommodate these big guys.
Mungo let his brothers soak in the biggest hot spring outside.
These male Tyrannosaurus rex had been tormented by the pain on their bodies. After entering the water, they feel much better. They swam comfortably inside.
The first hot spring was the largest. Even after accommodating more than a dozen Tyrannosaurus rex, it's still very spacious. If it wasn't for its close proximity to the volcano, there would never be such a large hot spring. It could also be called a geothermal lake.
(T/N: a large lake that got heated up by a volcano = a large hot spring or a geothermal lake)
After Monroe sank into the water, he felt very comfortable all over. The original pain disappeared. His mouth kept praising Gulu: "Gulu is really good. In the future, Gulu will be my big brother. None of you are allowed to rob me …"
Other Male Tyrannosaurus rex: Who used to dislike Gulu so much? …
Mungo let his brothers soak here, mainly because Tyrannosaurus rex were too big. Gulu was so small. It's possible to accidentally hurt him. Mungo would accompany Gulu alone.
When reaching the second hot spring, Pado spoke, "I'll stay right here."
Gulu understood that Pado certainly wouldn't want to soak with Tyrannosaurus rex. Pado didn't live in the Tyrannosaurus rex group all the time like him. On the contrary, it's because of him that Pado resisted the urge to attack these Tyrannosaurus rex.
So Gulu just replied, "Dad, I'll go to you later."
Pado: "I don't need it. Just wash quickly and we'll go back."
How was it possible to finish washing so soon? Gulu wanted to soak in such a comfortable hot spring until the end of the world. Of course, he still nodded to Pado and agreed very well.
Gulu and Mungo went to the innermost hot spring.
Mungo checked clearly and found no dangerous creatures in the hot spring.
Gulu became a human being. He jumped in with a splash then swam around. This was not a hot spring at all. It's a geothermal lake. A big one!
Mungo slowly went down into the water, mainly for fear of hurting the human Gulu.
After the huge Mungo entered the water, a lot of water overflowed and wet the plants by the bank.
Gulu sighed with emotion: emmm…… This hot spring is too big for mankind, but it's really just right for Mungo!
Mungo slowly sat down in the water. His soaked body felt really comfortable.
Gulu saw many geysers in the distance shooting up water column. It must be very comfortable to go there and wash his body.
It's really too nice. Mungo was a bit lazy to move, but Gulu wanted Mungo to change posture so that the water could soak up more of his body.
So Gulu deliberately pulled Mungo's forelimb with both hands then swam away, as if to say: Follow me, I'll let you follow me ha, ha, ha …
Pado was in the hot spring next to them. He didn't have much thought of soaking in the hot spring. He leaned over the crevice of the rockery to see Gulu and Mungo.
If Pado couldn't see his baby for a while, he's afraid of Mungo passing out from his severe injuries. In that case, because Mungo was too big, he may accidentally hurt Gulu.
Babana and Pado stayed near the nest. When they saw Gulu awake, Babana happily rubbed Gulu's little body and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom will take you to eat delicious food."
Gulu hurriedly answered as he climbed outside the nest: "Mom, I'm not hungry. Pado, can you take me to Mungo? He went to the volcano. I must stop him! If we get there late, he'll die!"
Babana froze. She didn't hear what Gulu said later. She only heard: Mom, I'm not hungry. Mom! Gulu called her Mom!
Pado didn't know what danger the volcano had. Since Gulu wanted to go, he would take him there. Gulu just returned to the Triceratops. He was definitely not used to being here and must miss Mungo and Gaya very much. Pado was very accommodating to Gulu. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Pado lowered his head to the ground and called out, "Climb up. I'll take you there."
Gulu quickly tried to climb up Pado's horns, but the horn shield was too large for his smaller size. Babana immediately picked up Gulu and placed him firmly on Pado's back.
Pado spoke to Babana, "We'll be back soon. Take care of Pachi and Dudu. Don't let them run off."
Babana nodded and replied, "I know. Don't worry."
Pado galloped away with Gulu on his back. Other Triceratopses were very alert and gave up a broad path for them.
Babana stared at the back of Pado and Gulu as they raced away. The sound of Gulu calling her Mom still rang in her ears. She happily ran circles around the nest: Mom, Mom, Gulu called me Mom!
An adult Triceratops was just like a heavy-duty mecha. When running, it greatly shook the ground. Pachi and Dudu, who remained asleep, were completely woken up. They saw Babana, who ran in circles, without seeing their brother: Why is Mom so happy?! Where's my brother?
In fact, Gulu was too anxious just now. He didn't even realize that he subconsciously shouted out Mom at Babana.
This was probably the wonderful thing about blood relationship. Even if Gulu only returned for less than a day, he appeared to have lived with this family since he was young. He didn't need any adaptation period at all and already adjusted himself without his own notice.
Pado ran very fast. They soon left the ethnic group.
Gulu felt the wind whistling in his ears. Pado was the fastest runner of all Triceratopses, but the volcano was too far away from here. Even if Pado sprinted faster, it would be too late.
Besides, a Triceratops was too large to support a fast run for long.
Gulu: "Dad, if you're tired, take a rest. Don't rush so fast. You won't be able to stand it …"
Pada ran even faster. Gulu called him Dad ah! He felt that he suddenly gained endless strength and could race like this forever.
In fact, Gulu didn't even realize that he shouted Dad to Pado. He's just too worried about Mungo. He also felt very distressed for Pado, fearing that he would be too tired.
At this moment, there're several screams in the sky. The sound was too familiar to Gulu!
He looked up and saw Cassie! Gulu knew that Cassie was here to help him. His cry was an absolute submission to the leader. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
The huge Cassie hovered in mid-air. Gulu felt that Cassie looked just like a Sun Bird and was undoubtedly his archangel.
Gulu called out to Pado, "Dad, stop. Don't run. Put me down."
Pado also heard the screech of the pterosaur. He didn't know Cassie. But Pado, as the strongest Triceratops leader, had no dinosaurs in the whole continent of Yukan that he was afraid of. He certainly wouldn't fear pterosaurs. They didn't even enter his eyes.
Since Gulu told him to stop, Pado came to a halt and let Gulu drop to the ground.
Soon, Cassie landed three meters away from Pado. Pado was a great Triceratops. Even if Gulu was there, Cassie was still very afraid of Pado and didn't dare to stay close to him.
Gulu said to Pado, "Dad, this Quetzalcoatlus is called Cassie. He belongs to Nassau's ethnic group. I am the second leader of his ethnic group. He will absolutely obey me. Don't worry, he won't hurt me. He has carried me many times. I'll ask him to take me to the volcano …"
Pado blocked Gulu with his stout forelimbs and refused, "No way! Nassau said you're the leader, and you believe him?! Are you a pterosaur? Can you fly? How can you be the leader of pterosaurs?! If he throws you down, can you still live?! …"
Gulu knew that it would be difficult for Pado to trust these pterosaurs. He continued to explain: "If Nassau wants me dead, I couldn't have left the cave alive. If Cassie wants to kill me, he would have dropped me when he flew me over …"
But no matter how Gulu explained it, Pado didn't agree, "No way! A No is a No! Get on my back and I'll take you to the volcano!"
One couldn't blame Pado for worrying. As long as the pterosaur flew up into the sky, Pado couldn't help Gulu. This was about Gulu's life. He wouldn't let Gulu take risks in any situation that he couldn't control.
Gulu was really too anxious about Mungo. While Pado was lying on the ground, he rushed to Cassie at full speed and shouted as he raced off, "Dad, you don't have to worry. Cassie really won't hurt me. I'll be back! I'll come back soon!"
Pado stood up and chased after him, yelling, "Gulu! Come back here!"
However, a Triceratops's huge size didn't allow it to get up fast after laying down. By the time Pado managed to get up and chase, Gulu already reached Cassie's front.
He turned into a human being and climbed up Cassie's back skillfully, then hurriedly shouted, "Cassie! Fly quickly!"
Cassie immediately ran to take off. When Pado arrived at Cassie's location, he used his horn to hit the pterosaur's tail. But he was too late to stop them and allowed Cassie to fly away.
Besides, Pado was afraid that if he hurt this pterosaur, he would also harm Gulu. If he knocked down this pterosaur, Gulu would fall down as well. This height would probably smash him.
In addition, Gulu had become a human being. Pado thought that this human form looked even more likely to fall to death.
Pado could only watch helplessly as the giant Quetzalcoatlus took away his son. He's very worried and let out a loud roar then ran after Cassie.
Cassie was scared to death just now. Pado almost hit him. Pado's horns were so long and his height was so tall. If Pado pierced through him, he would die!
Until he flew high into the air, Cassie was still in shock. He cried to Gulu, "Your father is terrible! He scared me to death!"
Gulu didn't pay any attention to Cassie. He held Cassie's neck tightly and turned to look at Pado, who was running after them with a loud roar. Tears blurred his eyes. He apologized in his heart, "Dad, I'm sorry. After I save Mungo, you can beat and scold me."
Then Gulu stopped looking at Pado. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears then gently patted Cassie's neck three times with his hand. This meant: fly faster, fly faster, fly faster!
Cassie had carried Gulu many times. His signals included: fly faster, turn slowly and go straight. The simplest operations had long been coded through the use of this hand-patting.
Just now Cassie heard the conversation between Gulu and Pado. Gulu told Pado not to run too fast, for fear of exhausting him.
Cassie really wanted to give Gulu a dirty look: You're so afraid of tiring Pado and let him slow down. Aren't you afraid of exhausting me when telling me to fly faster? Does your younger brother deserve no feelings?!…. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
(T/N: 'younger brother' can also means 'follower')
Although Cassie was frantically raving in his heart, he still flew with the fastest speed in his dinosaur life and warned, "Hold on tight. Don't blame me if you fall down later."
Gulu couldn't wait for Cassie to fly at the speed of light. He's already familiar with the accelerated pace of a flying dinosaur and could control himself. Even if Cassie soared very fast, he still flew smoothly. Gulu wasn't scared at all.
Then Gulu slapped Cassie twice on his left neck, which meant that he had better take the nearest route and fly straight. Cassie fully understood it.
The principle of moving in a straight line between two points was impossible to achieve on the ground, but it could be perfectly realized in the air. Quetzalcoatlus had a very strong sense of direction and could certainly fly straight.
Before long, Pado no longer saw any sight of Gulu and the giant pterosaur, but he still ran desperately. He wanted to get to the volcano as soon as possible. He's not at ease leaving Gulu alone.
Mungo and his brothers were hunting a group of Hadrosaurus. In addition to Mungo's team, five very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex were also attacking them.
This group of Hadrosaurus only had a few dozen, obviously they were separated from the larger army. Dozens of Hadrosaurus were really heaven-sent hunting objects. Mungo immediately called on his brothers to come and hunt together.
Mungo discovered these Hadrosaurus on the edge of his territory. In order to escape the predation of Tyrannosaurus rex, they frantically fled and quickly escaped from Mungo's territory.
However, the direction of their escape didn't belong to the territory of any other Tyrannosaurus rex, so Mungo followed after with his brothers without hesitation.
While chasing this group of Hadrosaurus, they eventually passed through several Tyrannosaurus rex territories. Seeing such good hunting objects, the Tyrannosaurus rex in these territories also got attracted and followed Mungo to chase these Hadrosaurus together.
Carnivorous dinosaurs had a tacit understanding that they would not attack each other when hunting. Only after the prey fell down and there was not enough for everyone to eat would they start to rob.
In summary, the principle of carnivorous dinosaurs was that when hunting, they all fought together to kill the prey first. After killing the prey, how to distribute it depended on their respective abilities.
However, it's very rare for different ethnic groups of Tyrannosaurus rex to hunt together. They were very territorial and would not allow other Tyrannosaurus rex to appear on their own territory. In contrast, other carnivorous dinosaurs could often hunt together with Tyrannosaurus rex.
There was only one possible situation for different groups of Tyrannosaurus rex to hunt side by side. It's when the hunting ground didn't belong to any of their territories.
These dozens of Hadrosaurus were really stupid. Their escape direction didn't belong to the territory of any Tyrannosaurus rex. The volcano nearby was very barren. No Tyrannosaurus rex would take this as its own land.
Hadrosaurus lived in groups. The largest of them could grow more than 21 meters in length. They were large herbivorous dinosaurs. Their hind legs were long and powerful while their heads were covered with crests. Their front face formed a duckbill-shaped snout, so they were called duck-billed dinosaurs.
The smallest Hadrosaurus group had at least 100 members. Usually, they numbered in the several hundred. The larger the herbivorous groups, the more difficult and dangerous for carnivorous dinosaurs to hunt them. But there're only a few dozen Hadrosaurus here, which were like preys being sent to their mouths. There was no reason not to eat!
However, Hadrosaurus had long and powerful hind legs. They ran very fast. "Fast running" was their main survival skill.
Therefore, when Tyrannosaurus rex hunted these Hadrosaurus, the biggest difficulty was to catch up with them. As long as they caught up, these preys would definitely enter their mouths.
Mungo was followed by his brothers and five very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex that joined along the way.
They had already arrived at the volcano, which was full of billowing volcanic ashes and hot springs rolling with heat wave.
The Hadrosaurus could really run. These Tyrannosaurus rex were far behind.
This group of Hadrosaurus, relying on their strong ability to run, dashed off like the wind while seeming to mock them, "Hehehe, come on, you can have me if you can catch up …"
A very conceited Hadrosaurus even dared to stop for a moment and shook its butts at the ferocious and bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus rex behind it, as if to say: "Why are you running so slowly? Come and eat me. My meat is delicious. It's a pity you can't eat it. I'll exhaust you to death. You fools. So slow …" !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
This group of Tyrannosaurus rex was very angry. They really wanted to run faster and tore these Hadrosaurus alive. However, they felt dizzy and couldn't run as fast as usual.
Mungo found out that he wasn't just dizzy. The wounds bitten by those male Tyrannosaurus rex on Ulam's territory the night before yesterday were now burning and painful. But he didn't care about them. He would eat these preys today!
The running Hadrosaurus suddenly stopped. In front of them was a hot spring with ultra-high temperature. The water in it was bubbling noisily. Before they even got close, they already felt that they were going to be roasted whole just from the heat!
Because it's close to the crater, the temperature was extremely high.
This group of Hadrosaurus instantly panicked. Behind them were Tyrannosaurus rex, bloodthirsty Tyrannosaurus rex. In front of them were boiling water that could scald the flesh off any dinosaur. There was no way out.
These Tyrannosaurus rex were certainly happy. Let this group of preys mock them before! Now, it's their turn to strike back!
They instantly rushed into the Hadrosaurus group. Two or three of them bit down on one head at a time. Soon, many of the dozen Hadrosaurus were killed and fell to the ground with a thick scent of blood.
The rest of the Hadrosaurus were scared to death. One of them couldn't bear such great psychological pressure. It turned and jumped into the hot spring. A sad cry immediately echoed out. Soon, it disappeared once the Hadrosaurus stopped struggling and sank to the bottom.
Tyrannosaurus rex were famous for their cruelty. Even if they couldn't finish eating so many preys, who let these Hadrosaurus dared to mock them just now. Now the red-eyed Tyrannosaurus rex killed and destroyed all of them!
After killing these preys, the problem of food distribution immediately appeared. Even though today's preys were more than enough for them all, every Tyrannosaurus rex only wanted to eat the fattest prey. Tyrannosaurus rex always strived for competitive victory.
Mungo and his brothers obviously had an absolute advantage. They were ferocious and roared at the other five Tyrannosaurus rex while occupying the fattest prey.
Just as they were preparing to eat, Mungo heard the screams of a pterosaur in the sky. Normally, pterosaurs would never come to the volcano. He looked up and saw the pterosaur carrying Gulu in his human form!
Gulu waved and shouted loudly at Mungo, regardless of whether Mungo could understand: "Mungo, get out of here. Don't eat. There're poison gases. You will die! Get out of here …"
Of course, Mungo didn't understand his human speech at all, but he became very nervous and scared. Mungo stared at the pterosaur in the sky. He's afraid that Gulu was in danger, fearing that he would fall off.
Cassie didn't feel as much heat wave because he's so high up, but it's still too hot for him. He asked, "Gulu, it's too hot here. Will my wings burn out?"
Gulu patted him on the neck to express comfort. This temperature was not enough to burn a pterosaur's wings.
What distressed Gulu most now was how he could make Mungo give up these prey!
Of course, he noticed that Mungo was worried about him. He had been staring up at the pterosaur with his neck tilted and had completely forgotten to eat his meat.
Gulu immediately thought of a way, he patted the pterosaur's neck. Cassie immediately flew to the outside of the volcano.
Mungo was very worried about Gulu and ran after the pterosaur. When Mungo's brothers saw that the boss had left, they hesitated whether to follow him or not.
They had completely exhausted themselves to chase these preys. They even competed with five adult Tyrannosaurus rex and finally won the fattest meat with difficulty. It's impossible to give up.
In the end, half of them decided to stay here to guard their prey, while the rest followed Mungo and ran out.
Once Gulu decided that they moved out of the "poison circle", he patted the pterosaur's neck. Cassie immediately stopped.
Mungo also quickly raced over.
Gulu motioned for Cassie to fall beside Mungo, but Mungo had too many Tyrannosaurus rex. Cassie was scared of being attacked and questioned, "Are you sure Mungo won't bite me? Mungo doesn't seem to like pterosaurs much …"
Gulu nuzzled Cassie's neck with his head and pointed down. This move was his consolation to Cassie: "Rest assured. Mungo will definitely not attack you, I promise!" At the same time, it was also a leader's command.
Cassie was still greatly afraid. In a particularly hot place, the wind speed was slow, and the air flow was chaotic. Pterosaurs couldn't take off quickly. This was why Cassie hesitated here.
However, a leader's order couldn't be refuted. At the end, Cassie still stopped three meters away from Mungo. Gulu immediately jumped off Cassie's back and turned into a Triceratops while shouting: "Mungo, don't attack Cassie!"
Mungo's brothers were ready to attack the pterosaur one by one. Only when they heard Gulu did they packed up their fangs.
Cassie was scared and immediately flew back into the sky. Only in the sky did he feel safe.
Gulu raced toward Mungo while Mungo also dashed to Gulu. They didn't know why, but after one night apart, the two missed each other very much. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Mungo stopped in front of Gulu, who quickly shouted, "Mungo! Let your other brothers come out. Don't eat this meat here. There're poison gases. They will be poisoned!"
Gulu smelled sulfur in the air and there was a thick scent of corpses in some places. It proved that there're many dead dinosaurs near here. They must have been dead for a long time and rotted badly.
Mungo didn't know what poisonous gases were or understood that he felt dizzy because of them. But Gulu said so and he would believe him, even though he felt it's a pity to leave behind so many preys.
Since it's really an emergency, Gulu urged: "Mungo! Quick, tell them to come out!"
Mungo let out roars after roars, calling the rest of his brothers to leave.
The rest of the male Tyrannosaurus rex felt very puzzled. They had a hard time getting their prey and it's so fat and delicious. Why did Mungo want them to give up?
One of those who stayed behind was Monroe. Monroe was very angry: "Is my brother crazy? Don't let us eat such delicious meat. We tired ourselves out hunting and haven't eaten a mouthful ah …"
However, even if they didn't understand, they would definitely obey Mungo's orders. All of them ran out.
The remaining five adult Tyrannosaurus rex were overjoyed. Mungo's group helped them kill all their preys. They even left without eating a bite. Ha, ha, ha, where could you find such a good thing! Mungo was really a fool!
The five adult Tyrannosaurus rex knew Gulu. They realized that Mungo didn't eat this meat because Gulu came. All of them thought that Mungo was crazy. As long as it came to Gulu, Mungo was insane.
Monroe looked at Gulu. He knew that it must be Gulu again!
Other male Tyrannosaurus rex couldn't understand, but they didn't dare to say anything. Monroe, however, stared at Gulu and demanded, "Why don't you let us eat meat? Is brother insane? How can you listen to what this cub says? What does he even know? …"
This reminded Monroe of the disgusting fern plant that his brother once made them eat because of Gulu. He's surer that whenever his brother met Gulu, he would go crazy!
Although Monroe now liked Gulu very much, he was still very angry that Gulu wouldn't let them eat meat while his brother actually agreed?!
Gulu: "Monroe, believe me. There're poison gases. You will be poisoned if you eat meat here …"
In fact, Gulu also knew that Monroe wouldn't listen to him. He felt that Monroe's heart must be like this: I won't believe in your ghost! You little brat, you are very bad!
Sure enough, he mumbled, "What poison gases? So many dinosaurs came here to hunt, why haven't they been poisoned …"
Gulu would like to tell him: Of course, there may be some who didn't get poisoned. However, many of them must be poisoned, but all of them are dead and can't come out to tell you that there are poisonous gases here, so you won't know!
Mungo glared at Monroe who immediately shut up. But what Monroe thought was: Humph, Gulu is too much. He doesn't want us to eat meat. He must tread on my back and step on me to sleep later. Otherwise, I won't forgive him!
Gulu knew that although Monroe's mouth was cheap, his heart wasn't bad, so he didn't care about it.
Moluo suddenly pointed, "Look, there's a Tyrannosaurus rex on the ground! It's really poisonous!"
They all looked toward his said direction.
First, a Tyrannosaurus rex fell to the ground. The other Tyrannosaurus rex looked around them puzzled. Then, they suddenly realized something and wanted to run out without eating.
But it's too late. They didn't have the strength to run. They just took two steps before falling to the ground one by one.
Before they died, they looked out in despair: "Yes, poison …"
Gulu looked at these very strong adult Tyrannosaurus rex that dropped to the ground and was horrified. Fortunately, he arrived in time, or Mungo would have died here!
Volcanic eruptions would produce a toxic gas called carbon monoxide, which was heavier than air and would accumulate near the earth's surface. As long as predators buried themselves in eating meat, they would die from inhaling a large amount of carbon monoxide.
If a dinosaur successfully hunt here and ate meat on the spot when there was no wind on the same day, it would certainly die of poisoning.
Mungo and his brothers came here to hunt before, but they didn't eat within the poison gas circle, so they were not poisoned. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
In fact, many dinosaurs had come here to hunt. The reason why they didn't die was that their large size saved them. Carbon monoxide was deposited on the surface of the earth (T/N: on the ground). As long as they didn't lower their heads or fall down, they would only inhale a small amount of carbon monoxide and just feel dizzy. They could still come out.
But if they ate meat or fall to the ground, they would never leave again.
Gulu used to be a paleontologist. When studying dinosaur fossils, he found that some of them were poisoned by carbon monoxide.
In the history of the earth, at the end of Cretaceous period, the continents finally gradually took shape as they appeared today. The frequent movement of the earth's crust caused global volcanic activities and large-scale volcanic eruptions that lasted for hundreds of years.
At present, the planet belonged to the early Cretaceous period, about 80 million years from the end of its timeline. Volcanic activity was not frequent yet, but it still occurred more often than earth in the 21st century.
Now the time period of this planet was very suitable for the survival of dinosaurs, which could be said to be the heyday of dinosaurs.
Dinosaur's golden era was 80 million years old. The earliest human beings appeared less than 2 million years even when counting up to the 21th century. Today's human civilization was really too short compared with the age of dinosaurs.
Monroe froze. He didn't expect that there're really poisons here!
It took him quite a while to react. He bowed his head and rubbed against Gulu, "Gulu. You are too good! How do you know it's poisonous here? If it wasn't for you, we would all be dead. You're too good. Later, you can be my big brother …"
Gulu was somewhat embarrassed when he was praised. He said, "It's okay as long as you're all right. You mustn't bully me anymore. Otherwise, I'll hit you, I'll hit you, hum …"
Monroe: "No, absolutely not. If I bully you again, I'll turn into a Triceratops!"
Gulu: "What did you say?!"
In the world of Tyrannosaurus rex, changing into a Triceratops was the most vicious curse, because Triceratops was food to be eaten. Gulu was a Triceratops, of course he was angry.
Monroe hurriedly coaxed, "I was wrong. Triceratops is the most powerful. Triceratops is the best. Gulu is the best in the world …"
Other Male Tyrannosaurus rex: emmm…… …
Gulu knew that it's really not easy for Monroe to say this. How did he feel that Monroe suddenly changed from being an arrogant dinosaur to a licking dog?!
Mungo rubbed Gulu lightly. Gulu must be very anxious when he rushed all the way here. Mungo felt very distressed.
At this time, Gulu noticed that Mungo's wounds were festering. So did those of his younger brothers. They must be very painful. There're too many toxic gases and ashes in this volcanic air.
These ashes were nothing to an uninjured dinosaur, but it's fatal to the dinosaur with large wounds on its body surface since they easily caused infection and ulceration.
The only treatment was to find the cleanest hot spring in the vicinity, with the right temperature to wash away the ashes adhering to these wounds, in order to prevent them from being infected.
Pado finally arrived. He panted heavily and ran to Gulu's side, ignoring all of the Tyrannosaurus rex around him.
Gulu rubbed Pado who was full of anger, "Dad, I'm sorry. I was too worried. If I come later, Mungo and the others will die. Look over there …"
Pado stared at the Tyrannosaurus rex and Hadrosaurus that died all over the place. He was shocked. This was beyond his understanding as a dinosaur. It turned out that this place could really poison dinosaurs. Even Tyrannosaurus rex couldn't escape. Why didn't other dinosaurs tell this to them?
Of course, all of the dinosaurs that got poisoned before were dead. But this time Mungo and his brothers managed to come out alive after seeing the tragedy. News of poisoning near the volcano would soon spread to the whole continent of Yukan and saved countless dinosaurs in the future.
Gulu went on to say, "Dad, a Quetzalcoatlus really won't hurt me. Look, that pterosaur sent me here safely, right? …"
Pado and Mungo both looked at the huge pterosaur flying in the air at the same time. They were lost in thought while thinking that maybe these pterosaurs weren't so bad.
In fact, Gulu didn't know why he suddenly trusted Cassie so much. He's not afraid of Cassie flying him halfway then took him to the cave and never let him come back, probably because he had no other choice. He didn't have time to think so much since he needed to save Mungo at all costs. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!
Although Pado was very angry, he' still glad to see Gulu alright. He rubbed Gulu and reproached, "Don't frighten me like this again."
Gulu hurriedly nodded, then rubbed Mungo and spoke: "Your injuries will become serious if you touch the ashes here. You must wash them. I'll take you to a hot spring."
Mungo and his brothers felt very painful, but Tyrannosaurus rex were never afraid of pain. Mungo refused, "No, Gulu, we're fine. We'll be fine in two days."
Tyrannosaurus rex never washed their wounds. They didn't think it's necessary and sometimes washing wounds would worsen the injuries.
Gulu stood firm, "You must wash them. The ashes here are different from dusts in other places. If you don't wash them, your injuries will get worse and you'll die!"
Mungo saw the poisoned Tyrannosaurus rex and finally listened to Gulu.
Gulu didn't bother to give Mungo any professional talk about festering infections or disinfection using the clean hot springs near the volcano. Dinosaurs couldn't understand these words.
Pado was not hurt, but Gulu still said, "Dad, you should go with us. It's comfortable to soak in hot springs!"
Even if Gulu didn't ask him to go, Pado would still follow. Mungo's injuries looked more serious. He's not at ease leaving Gulu to him.
As the result, a group of dinosaurs began to move out under the guidance of Gulu, who carefully searched for the cleanest and most suitable hot spring.
It couldn't be close to the crater because the temperature was too high. If there're less vegetations around, the hot spring wasn't clean enough.
They walked onward. This barren volcanic land still dotted with rare green areas, but they were too small.
Gulu continued until he reached the edge of the volcano. The ferns here were already very luxuriant and didn't look very different from other places outside.
Finally, Gulu found several large hot springs behind a lush fern field.
The landform here was very special. Several large hot springs were separated by a large rockery. Luxuriant ferns and many flowers surrounded these hot springs. Large butterflies were gathering flowers and honey. The beauty was indescribable.
In the early Cretaceous period, dinosaurs saw very few flowers. They were not used to their strong smell and couldn't help sneezing, but soon they got used to them and felt they smelt very fragrant and good.
The water temperature in the hot spring was just right with the water quality being very clear. One could see the big rocks at the bottom of the hot spring at a glance. All of the hot springs here were large enough to accommodate these big guys.
Mungo let his brothers soak in the biggest hot spring outside.
These male Tyrannosaurus rex had been tormented by the pain on their bodies. After entering the water, they feel much better. They swam comfortably inside.
The first hot spring was the largest. Even after accommodating more than a dozen Tyrannosaurus rex, it's still very spacious. If it wasn't for its close proximity to the volcano, there would never be such a large hot spring. It could also be called a geothermal lake.
(T/N: a large lake that got heated up by a volcano = a large hot spring or a geothermal lake)
After Monroe sank into the water, he felt very comfortable all over. The original pain disappeared. His mouth kept praising Gulu: "Gulu is really good. In the future, Gulu will be my big brother. None of you are allowed to rob me …"
Other Male Tyrannosaurus rex: Who used to dislike Gulu so much? …
Mungo let his brothers soak here, mainly because Tyrannosaurus rex were too big. Gulu was so small. It's possible to accidentally hurt him. Mungo would accompany Gulu alone.
When reaching the second hot spring, Pado spoke, "I'll stay right here."
Gulu understood that Pado certainly wouldn't want to soak with Tyrannosaurus rex. Pado didn't live in the Tyrannosaurus rex group all the time like him. On the contrary, it's because of him that Pado resisted the urge to attack these Tyrannosaurus rex.
So Gulu just replied, "Dad, I'll go to you later."
Pado: "I don't need it. Just wash quickly and we'll go back."
How was it possible to finish washing so soon? Gulu wanted to soak in such a comfortable hot spring until the end of the world. Of course, he still nodded to Pado and agreed very well.
Gulu and Mungo went to the innermost hot spring.
Mungo checked clearly and found no dangerous creatures in the hot spring.
Gulu became a human being. He jumped in with a splash then swam around. This was not a hot spring at all. It's a geothermal lake. A big one!
Mungo slowly went down into the water, mainly for fear of hurting the human Gulu.
After the huge Mungo entered the water, a lot of water overflowed and wet the plants by the bank.
Gulu sighed with emotion: emmm…… This hot spring is too big for mankind, but it's really just right for Mungo!
Mungo slowly sat down in the water. His soaked body felt really comfortable.
Gulu saw many geysers in the distance shooting up water column. It must be very comfortable to go there and wash his body.
It's really too nice. Mungo was a bit lazy to move, but Gulu wanted Mungo to change posture so that the water could soak up more of his body.
So Gulu deliberately pulled Mungo's forelimb with both hands then swam away, as if to say: Follow me, I'll let you follow me ha, ha, ha …
Pado was in the hot spring next to them. He didn't have much thought of soaking in the hot spring. He leaned over the crevice of the rockery to see Gulu and Mungo.
If Pado couldn't see his baby for a while, he's afraid of Mungo passing out from his severe injuries. In that case, because Mungo was too big, he may accidentally hurt Gulu.
