Chapter 1537 Iguanodon

Not far from where Iguanodon is located, there is also a group of Iguanodon.

The names of these two dinosaurs sound alike at first glance, but they are actually quite different in terms of species classification.

Raptorosaurus is a standard saurischian theropod carnivorous dinosaur, larger than Deinonychus, but at least an order of magnitude worse than Tyrannosaurus.

Iguanodon belongs to the ornithischian order and is a super-large plant-eating dinosaur.

The most unique feature of Iguanodon is that it has two walking modes. It can walk on four legs like most ornithischian dinosaurs, or it can lift a pair of forelimbs, and walk on thick hind legs like Tyrannosaurus rex, and the tail can be adjusted. The role of body balance.

Quadruped walking is nothing to say, but the latter mode of walking gave Iguanodon two advantages.

First of all, when Iguanodon walked upright, it could lift its head up as much as possible, and easily taste the leaves growing on high places like a giraffe, and obtain more sufficient food sources than other dinosaurs that can only eat low shrubs .

In addition, Iguanodon's forelimbs were strong and powerful, with thumb-like spikes at the end, which could be used as weapons to deal with predators who tried to attack themselves.

Because of having such a pair of multifunctional flexible forelimbs, Iguanodon is not easy to mess with among the many herbivorous dinosaur groups along the coast of Lake Aosta.

Except for a very few natural enemies that have a crushing advantage in size and strength, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, other carnivorous dinosaurs active in this lake area, such as the common Deinonychus and Raptors, are at a disadvantage due to their size. Provoke Iguanodon.

Iguanodon, like most herbivorous dinosaurs, lived in groups.

However, when Joan rode his Tyrannosaurus servant close to the lakeside bushes where the Iguanodon lived, at a glance, he found that an Iguanodon was repelled by the others of the same kind, and they all avoided it far away.

This lone Iguanodon is what Joan is looking for.

The swarm of yellow spring bees parasitic in the body made this iguanodon painful and irritable, and became very aggressive. There were many blood-stained wounds on its body, which indicated that it had had fierce conflicts with the same kind in the group. Perhaps this is why it was called The immediate cause of expulsion.

Joan also noticed that this lonely iguanodon had just killed a bison and tore the carcass into tatters, its forelimbs were stained red with blood.

However, the Iguanodon did not eat the carcass of the bison. It seems that the Huangquan bee colony parasitic in its body can only infect its host with its violent and ferocious devil disposition, but cannot change the host's innate feeding habits.

The rumbling footsteps of the Tyrannosaurus striding forward alarmed the Iguanodon group wandering by the lake.

Iguanodon was nearly 30 feet long from head to tail, and its size did not look much inferior to Tyrannosaurus rex. However, any sober-minded Iguanodon would not think that it was qualified to challenge Tyrannosaurus rex. When it saw a natural enemy appearing from a distance, it immediately ran away.

Only the iguanodon that was parasitized by the yellow spring bee seemed to be tortured by the parasite and lost its mind. It forgot the fear of being dominated by the "overlord" of Lake Aosta. Front paws, in an attacking stance.

Faced with the provocation of the Iguanodon, the Tyrannosaurus grinned contemptuously, ready to give this reckless guy some color.

Joan rode on the Tyrannosaurus rex, and in time used a psychic sense to prevent it from killing the "experiment" he fancy.

The Tyrannosaurus roared depressingly, and had to obey the master's order, resisting the desire to attack, baring its teeth and roaring, intimidating the Iguanodon.

Taking advantage of the confrontation between the two giant beasts, Joan activated the "Advanced Internal Vision Technique" to check the details of the Iguanodon.

...

Reconnaissance target: female Iguanodon (super-large herbivore, sauriformes, ornithischia)

Health status: diseased (parasitized)

Attributes: Strength 27, Dexterity 14, Constitution 21, Intelligence 2, Wisdom 12, Charisma 7

...

From the perspective of physical attributes, although there is a certain gap between Iguanodon and Tyrannosaurus, it can be called quite powerful, and it is much stronger than Protoceratops, which is also a plant-eating dinosaur.

Even Tyrannosaurus, in the past, facing such a heavyweight opponent, had to take the risk of injury and spend some effort to hunt it down.

Now the Tyrannosaurus doesn't need to expend such effort. As soon as Joan hit the "Mythical Deep Sleep", the ferocious Iguanodon immediately yawned, unable to resist the attack of sleepiness, and fell asleep soundly with all four limbs on the ground.

Bringing down the Iguanodon was easy; the problem was getting the sleeping behemoth, which weighed more than 100,000 pounds, back to camp.

Joan jumped off the Tyrannosaurus and walked around the Iguanodon. The first solution that came to mind was to use a bundle of cables to lasso the sleeping Iguanodon, and tie the other end of the rope to the Tyrannosaurus, allowing the Tyrannosaurus to drag the former back to the camp.

However, after trying, Joan found that this method was not very reliable.

Although the bipedal Tyrannosaurus is strong and strong, it is not suitable for pulling heavy loads. After dragging the Iguanodon for a short distance, it slowed down and complained.

Especially after passing through the rugged terrain, it is difficult for the Tyrannosaurus to maintain the balance of its center of gravity. It is even more difficult to drag the Iguanodon. It stumbles and falls on the ground from time to time.

Qiao An seriously suspected that this guy was acting cute and pretending to be pitiful, but there was no evidence, so he had to untie the rope angrily, and gave up letting the Tyrannosaurus rex play the role of a cow and horse.

The tyrannosaurus was free, shaking its big head, howling with joy like a ten-ton child.

Joan waved his hand angrily, pushed the lazy and slippery guy aside, took out a capsule from the spell-casting material bag, and cast "Mage Poison High Five".

The capsule contained a dose of petrochemical toxin. Qiao An remotely held the sleeping Iguanodon with his black giant palm, and then activated the special effect of "Poison Strike", injecting the magically strengthened petrochemical toxin into the Iguanodon's body.

A giant beast with a strong physique like the Iguanodon is also particularly resistant to the petrification effect.

If the Iguanodon was awake, Joan wasn't absolutely sure that it would be petrified with a single poisonous blow.

Fortunately, Iguanodon is currently in a "mythical deep sleep", a state of dormancy deeper than "hibernation".

Just like a hibernating snake freezes into a lump, no matter how it is handled before its body temperature recovers, it will not respond, just like a dead body.

In the deeply dormant Iguanodon, its physiological functions have almost ceased to function, and its immunity has also dropped to the minimum that can sustain its survival.

In this state, the Iguanodon has almost no resistance to the petrochemical toxins applied to itself, and within a minute it turned into a gray-white and stiff stone statue from head to toe.

The petrified Iguanodon completely stopped its physiological activities and lost all signs of life.

If you look at the petrified Iguanodon from a theological or spiritual level, you can think that it is still alive, because its soul has not left its body.

But from the material level, the current Iguanodon is no different from the real stone statue in terms of appearance and physical properties, and it can be determined that it is a large piece of lifeless stone.
