Chapter 1526 Lakeside Inspection

"Through observation during this period of time, I found that most of the protoceratops that often move around the east bank of Lake Aosta are protoceratops. This kind of small and gentle herbivorous dinosaur is the least likely to go crazy. As long as we humans go to Proactively provoke them, and you won't be attacked."

Ted Pinkerton went on to say to the young people around him:

"In contrast, going to the lake to fetch water is more risky, and no one knows if there will be a sinister plesiosaur lurking below the water surface, waiting for its prey to come to your door."

"Large carnivorous dinosaurs like plesiosaurs are dangerous no matter whether they are mad or not. In their eyes, humans are no different from Protoceratops or fish and shrimp. They are nothing more than edible prey."

"Mr. Pinkerton, you just mentioned that Protoceratops was the least likely to go mad. Could it be that the phenomenon of madness does not appear randomly among all types of dinosaurs, but that certain types of dinosaurs have a higher probability of going mad than others? "Joan inquired curiously.

"Brother Joan, you have reached the point."

Pinkerton took a deep drag on the pipe, then slowly exhaled the smoke again, put away his smile, and his face became extremely serious.

"I've been walking around the lake these days and inspected dozens of dinosaurs. Based on my observations, I can conclude the following two points."

"The smaller the dinosaur, the rarer the cases of abnormal behavior."

"Large dinosaurs tend to have a higher probability of going crazy."

"The two experiences I have concluded have nothing to do with the type of dinosaur, or even whether the dinosaur ate grass or meat. Body size is the only decisive factor related to the probability of going crazy."

"In fact, since there are far more plant-eating dinosaurs than carnivorous dinosaurs inhabiting the lake area, the crazy dinosaurs are also dominated by the former, especially those large and strong species, such as Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus .”

"Although these dinosaurs were huge in size, they all ate plants as their staple food. They had relatively gentle personalities and rarely attacked humans actively. However, after going mad, their temperament changed drastically. They traveled long distances in groups, crazily attacked villages and towns, and slaughtered humans. What they did was totally against their nature."

Mr. Detective took another drag on his cigarette, faced the young people who were listening intently to his story, and then added a detail.

"This rule applies not only to dinosaurs, but also to other species living in the Aosta Lake area. For example, magical beasts such as 'hydras' sometimes show violent symptoms, and even mix into the ranks of rampant dinosaurs. , participated in the attack on the human villages and towns near the lake area."

"I originally thought that the dinosaurs became irritable and crazy because they were infected with some kind of germ, but from what you said, uncle detective, it doesn't seem to be caused by germs."

Hailaer wrapped the ends of the twin ponytail hair hanging on her shoulders around her fingertips, thinking to herself.

"Huge dinosaurs are also physically stronger. It stands to reason that they are more resistant to germs and are less likely to be infected with diseases. How come they are more likely to go crazy than small dinosaurs? It can be seen that the reason why the dinosaurs in Lake Aosta behaved Abnormal, the root cause is probably not in the disease."

"If supernatural diseases are also taken into consideration, it is not impossible for there to be some kind of bacteria that specifically infects large dinosaurs." Joan said cautiously.

"Just sitting here and discussing it won't help to uncover the truth about the mystery of dinosaur madness. Let's go out for a walk and have a field trip."

Holden got up and suggested.

Joan also felt that he should observe the crazy dinosaurs on the spot. It would be better to capture one for a comprehensive physical examination, which would be more helpful to find out what the problem was.

Audrey, Hyrule, and Ruby also supported Holden's proposal, urging Pinkerton to take everyone out for a stroll.

"You are young after all, full of vitality."

Mr. Detective stood up with a smile, put on a deer cap, picked up a cane, and led everyone out of the house with a pipe in his mouth. He recited a spell and shrunk the "shelter" into a dollhouse, putting it in a storage bag.

"Carl! Carl! Take us to find the big dinosaur!" Ruby shouted impatiently.

The hound barked twice in a very human way, as if to say "just wrap it on me", and then quickly ran into the bushes, sniffing the footprints and smells left by the large dinosaurs, and started tracking.

Joan was worried that Carl ran too far, if a dinosaur popped out of the grass, it would swallow Carl with one big mouth! Everyone fell behind, and they might not be able to rescue them in time, so they used the "advanced mosquito finger technique" to turn the tail finger of their left hand into a "blood mosquito spy", and followed Karl closely as a personal sentinel.

The Blood Mosquito Agent is too small, and it is a negligible existence for the huge carnivorous dinosaurs. It is also to explore the way ahead, and the Blood Mosquito Agent is in a safer situation than the hunting dog.

However, after a short time, Joan's above concept was refreshed.

Carl, who was sniffing ahead, suddenly stopped, looked up at a leafy bush, and let out a vigilant growl.

The blood mosquito spies in the air were also alert, and quickly entered the "invisible" state, as if they had discovered some kind of natural enemy.

Qiao An quickly raised his hand to signal his companions to be careful, everyone exchanged glances, and they all tiptoed forward.

Arriving at the grass where Carl was, Joan looked up at the bushes, and at a glance saw a bird's nest stuck on a tree branch more than six feet above the ground.

An unnamed bird was chirping and screaming, its colorful neck feathers blown off, making it appear larger and more terrifying than it really was.

Joan also noticed that four or five eggs with spots could be seen faintly in the nest behind the bird. It seemed that this was probably a female bird, protecting her unhatched baby.

Joan initially thought that the mother bird was so nervous because she was frightened by Carl's barking. However, at this time the hound had stopped roaring and retreated to Pinkerton's side, showing no intention of attacking the bird's nest in the tree—in fact, most canids do not have the skills to climb trees, but the bird Still making an angry gesture, the sharp tweet could hardly conceal the panic in his heart.

"Look, what's that—"

Holden tugged at Joan's sleeve and pointed to another branch not far from the bird's nest.

Joan's gaze moved over, and under the cover of the dense branches and leaves, a small figure was faintly visible.

This little guy is almost two feet long, and looks like a miniature version of Deinonychus. It is standing on a tree with a pair of strong hind legs, its hook-like toes are grasping the branches tightly, and its slender tail is slowly swinging , to keep the body balanced on the tree.

The surface of the body covered with dark green scales is dotted with yellow-brown stripes-this natural camouflage camouflage makes it difficult to detect when it is moving in the bushes.
