For the next two days Sobek tried to avoid the torvosaurs as much as possible, but that doesn't mean he hadn't spied them.
As he already knew, they hunted in pairs; although they were a family group of about a dozen individuals, generally only two left the pack and went hunting. The others remained in the clearing waiting for them. Also, generally the ones that went to hunt were all young adults: the oldest ones or the youngest ones remained in the clearing, and they spent almost all their time lying around, cuddling, licking each other and playing.
Even if they were just two, however, Sobek never dared to confront them. After all, two young adult torvosaurs were more than enough to defeat him.
Sobek had found that they mostly preyed the columbian mammoths. Their strategy was simple: one of them distracted the herd, while the other attacked from behind while the mammoths were distracted, inflicting a deep wound on one of them; after that they retreated and waite
According to the current knowledge of Earth's paleontologists, the andrewsarchus was the largest carnivorous mammal ever lived on the planet. It reached a length of more than five meters and a height at the withers of almost two meters.By comparison the Bengal tiger was just a adorable kitten and even polar bears were smaller than it.However, its size was still minimal in a messy world where dinosaurs, mammals and any other creatures lived together. Even if the andrewsarchus could be considered the top predator in the mammal kingdom, it still had no chance against large predatory dinosaurs. Ceratosaurs, allosaurs, carnotaurs, giganotosaurs, carcharodontosaurs, mapusaurs, tirannosaurs: they could kill it with a single bite.That was why the andrewsarchus of Eden had learned from a while to avoid the large dinosaurs. They stayed in places were they knew that the dinosaurs didn't come, and if they were forced to live togheter with them they learned their paths an
Jocelyne was surprised by a sudden roar that the spinosaurus launched before it started to scrape the ground. It was a behavior she had never seen. Yet for some reason the dinosaur seemed... happy?After a few seconds, however, she saw the dinosaur's muzzle approach her. As it had already done many times, it grabbed her, being careful to not hurt her; however, unlike the other times, it didn't put her on the ground, but began to run at great speed.Jocelyne's blood froze instantly. Had it found them? Was the mysterious predator coming? Was the spinosaurus trying to escape with her?Even though she was relieved that the spinosaurus didn't want to leave her, she was still anxious: what if the predator would catch up with them? What if the spinosaurus got scared of something, unwittingly closing its jaws on her? Even a little distraction or a jolt would be enough for the animal's teeth to tear her to pieces.And even if they were saved, where would it take h
Sobek concluded that this was absolutly not his day. If he still had the gift of speech he would probably have cursed God and any other deity known and not known to humanity in at least fifty different ways. His greatest fear had come true: two large carnivores were in front of him and he had no way to escape, because behind him were humans armed from feet to teeth.He was literally in the middle of a crossfire. If he had at least maximized [Regeneration] he would have been calmer, because he could have at least healed immediately from bites or gunshots; he would just have to be careful to not get hit in a vital spot. Instead, the skills was still only at level 3/5. Even though his healing speed was already much faster than that of any normal living creature, it was still too slow to be of any use to him in that moment.Sobek cursed in his head. God had said she wasn't going to intervene in his life, but sometimes he had the impression that someone was having fun makin
Everything could be said about Marcus Jersey: who was someone a real shark when it's talking about finance, that didn't look anyone in the face when it came to money, that stopped at nothing to achieve his goal, but not that he wasn't a man of honor. Just like he demanded that everyone pay the debts they had contracted with him, he always paid the debts he contracted with someone else, in one way or another.That's why he couldn't let that dinosaur die. He hadn't understood very much what Jocelyne had said (in reality, he hadn't understood very much the entire situation), but he understood that the dinosaur had saved his daughter's life and that was enough for him. He also had proof that it was protecting her when it got on top of her and had protected her with its claws when the two torvosaurs appeared. Not only that, but despite being at a clear disadvantage it had attacked the two carnivores, so as to draw attention to itself and allow Jocelyne to get away. It was risking
'Damn, that's really hurt!'Sobek didn't remember ever experiencing such pain since reincarnating and perhaps not even in his previous lives. The torvosaur's bites burned his skin as if there was hot iron on it. The wounds that the carcharodontosaurus had inflicted on him days ago were nothing in comparison.As soon as he was far enough away from the humans he threw himself on the bodies and began to consume them. Each of them gave him 7 skill points, which added to the ones he already had gave him a total of 19.'Update [Regeneration]! Now!' he screamed in his head as he watched the skill level rise to 4/5. Unfortunately, he now only had 9 skill points. 'What a drag! Why am I missing one!? Are you kidding me?!?'The pain in the wounds had subsided, but they still burned. Sobek wasn't going to hold onto that pain for too long. 'A prey... anything...'He ran to the river and began frantically searching the shore. Fortunately, he almost immediately f
Over the next few days, Sobek devoted himself to exploring his new hunting area. After making sure there weren't other carnivores too big, he started to rampage.It was now a carnivore 22 meters long and 7.2 meters high, weighing 11 tons and he could also run up to 23 km/h. He could be considered a mythological monster, a real devastator of lands. There was no way the preys escaped him.The amount of experience to level up again was 210,000, but in a short time Sobek had already accumulated over 100,000 points. This is because the preys in that area were particularly slow and easy to catch.He had found that mostly Permian creatures dominated the area. The maximum amount of food he had received so far had been the scutosaurs, but there were also other herbivores he could draw from, although not as large.One example were the edaphosaurs. These were reptiles with a sail just like him, very similar to dimetrodonts and easy to hunt. Because of their posture,
Mitch Morgan was an award-winning biologist who taught at Harkonsis University in the Confederate States of Vinland, one of the world's greatest economic powers. He was responsible for numerous scientific successes, that went from the discovery of new species to the study of the behavior of predatory dinosaurs that had made the lives of those who had to face them much easier.For all his life he had traveled from one part of the world to another, exploring territories still untouched by human presence, discovering creatures with such bizarre shapes that it would be difficult to believe that they really belonged to that world and were not aliens from outer space. He had cataloged, classified, studied and described every single new creature he had discovered, whether it was a dinosaur, a reptile-like mammal, an ancient synapse or even an insect.His achievements were known to the entire community of biologists around the world. This, coupled with the fact that he knew ev
Mitch was speechless and he couldn't take his eyes off the footage. He had become completely unable to think. This was beyond any of his expectations!A new species of dinosaur, which also possesses a similar empathy? It sounded like a bedtime story!Yet the evidence was in front of him. The experts who had been invited hadn't reviewed the video yet, but Mitch knew it could only be true: Jersey would not be risking his face like this in front of the whole world.This completely subverted any knowledge scientists had about dinosaurs!The animals often showed empathy, but they generally didn't go beyond their own species. There had been very rare cases, but they were almost all of herbivores: carnivores generally ate the lost puppies of other species they found. And even in the case of herbivores these were cases so uncommon that they could be counted on the fingers of one hand: after all, raising a puppy of another species meant not only an extra mouth to
