Jurassic Descent: I Can Evolve in My Dreams - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Ants?

Cole was a little embarrassed and forced himself to change the topic. “Go, go, go. Stay away from here. Don’t attract wild beasts.”

The last time when the guide had brought them here, they had taken the wrong path. As a result, they had walked forward for a few days.

Everyone felt that the direction was wrong, so they turned back and prepared to set off from here again.

However, that morning, when the guide was about to set off, he was crushed by the dinosaurs.

.

…

After Haman set up his tent, he was ready to go to sleep.

The first half of the night was the best time to sleep.

Because these people would not sleep so soundly.

It might be impossible to be so in the second half of the night.

Before going to sleep, Yuri dug a pit outside the camp and buried the food scraps and garbage that they had finished.

Initially, they should have sprinkled a circle of Tyrannosaurus Rex faeces to block the dinosaurs.

But it didn’t work after they tried last time.

It would be fine if they were small and wild animals since they would be scared away by the smell of Tyrannosaurus rex faeces.

But Big Dinosaurs weren’t like that.

But the problem was that there were too many enormous dinosaurs in the wilderness.

That night, they didn’t do anything but kept running all the time.

Fortunately, more herbivores were around, so they didn’t have such a strong desire to attack.

Compared to Mankiw’s cautiousness, Haman looked at the rest of the team, and they seemed to be a little less vigilant.

They didn’t even arrange for anyone to come out to keep watch.

They were snoring in the tents, and it is evident that they were all dead asleep.

It was true that this place was in a good position. Usually, there wouldn’t be any giant beasts coming over.

But they were too relaxed.

Mankiw’s breathing was long and thin. He was not in a deep sleep.

Haman felt that he should be cautious because he had seen too many people stabbed to death in the night.

But Mankiw could keep such vigilance.

A person’s past experiences determined his current thinking and habits.

Mankiw must have experienced all kinds of dangerous situations.

When it was bright before anyone else got up.

Haman checked out where Yuri buried the food residue yesterday.

The food bags that had been buried in the ground had been turned over.

And the food residue had disappeared entirely.

Last night Haman saw Yuri buried the food scraps.

He just wanted to see if any of the beasts were attracted.

Many people were afraid of wild animals because they thought they were too fierce to be scared of humans.

But in fact, most of the wild animals were very alert, and ordinary wild animals would not come when they saw so many tents.

Haman found in recent years in his hunting that wild animals, including dinosaurs, were gradually becoming brighter like the smaller dinosaurs.

In the beginning, whenever they saw Haman, they would rush up.

But now, Haman had to be careful to hide his tracks.

Otherwise, he would attack the dinosaurs he couldn’t deal with.

And the smaller dinosaurs would scent and leave when they smelled the human.

Haman carefully approached the area.

He kept an eye out for any signs of animals.

However, he did not find anything.

However, when he arrived there, he suddenly realized that there were no footprints of wild beasts.

Haman was holding a bone knife. He was not used to using the gun on his back, so he could only have the knife and stay alert.

He was on guard as he carefully recreated.

“Could it be that the ants took away the food?”

It was possible. In recent years, the ants had become bigger and bigger, and they were almost the size of Haman’s finger.

If there were an ant nest nearby, it would be easy to clean it up overnight.

But Haman still had doubts in his heart.

When they returned to the camp, everyone was ready to pack up and set off.

Everyone was folding their tents and stuffing them into their backpacks.

Cole complained to Mankiw, “Captain, you shouldn’t have given him chocolate. How could a refugee deserve to eat such a thing?”

The team set off. This time, they followed Haman’s instructions and finally began to go deep into the forest.

The sunlight from the sky shone through the leaves.

The entire forest seemed to be shining with a golden light.

Everyone laughed and talked as if they were not in the dangerous wilderness but on a field trip.

The rivers in the forest were not polluted by acid rain.

So the rivers in the forest were the most dangerous places.

Any powerful predator could be near the river waiting for prey.

Haman said to the people in front of him, “Try to stay away from the river.”

However, Cole didn’t think much of it. “There are so many of us. Is there a need to be so afraid?”

Haman had long noticed that among this group of people, apart from captain Mankiw.

The others weren’t from the last time they came.

Perhaps those people were scared out of their wits.

The most important thing was that although he had been careful along the way.

It had already been an entire day, and he hadn’t encountered any danger. It was unreasonable.

“Wait!”

Haman suddenly had a cold sweat on his back.

There was only one situation in this wilderness full of wild beasts where you wouldn’t encounter danger.

That was, there was an even greater danger staring at you!

Haman didn’t speak anymore, and he was silently vigilant.

He had only made his own decision. If danger came, he had to get rid of these idiots and quickly get out of trouble.

At this time, Yuri was tripped by a tree root and hit the tree in front of the team.

“Be careful,” Cole warned.

However, Yuri didn’t get up. Instead, he lay there twitching.

Everyone knew that something had happened.

Haman looked at Yuri. There was a massive bump on his neck.

Yuri was twitching on the face as if he was experiencing a great pain that he had never had in his life.

In just over ten seconds, Yuri was already lying on the ground without moving before everyone could react.

White foam came out of his mouth, and his face turned from red to purple.

Cole carefully held the gun and leaned over after he found that there was no unusual movement.

He then stretched out his hand to check Yuri’s breath.

He turned his head and said solemnly, “He’s died.”

Everyone was stunned on the spot. “He was just fine a moment ago. How could he die?”

Mankiw turned around and asked Cole, “What Happened?”

Cole stood at the side, holding the gun in his hand tightly. He seemed to give him a sense of security as he said with a trembling voice.

“I don’t know either. Yuri was walking beside me just now, but he suddenly tripped on a branch and hit the tree. Then he stopped moving. I didn’t see anything strange either.”

The wind blew the leaves, making rustling sounds. The trees were still the same, but everyone’s mood was different.

It was the first person who died on their journey. Cole roared at Haman, “Come on, is there any problem with your road??”

“My road is ok.” Haman looked at Cole calmly.

“But you should understand that this is a wilderness, not a game.”

“And this wilderness is getting more and more dangerous. I’m not sure why you have to go to Mount Roman, but I only have one suggestion, get back immediately!”
