Jiang Fan, as the vanguard, walked ahead, while Dai Xiaomei remained at the rear as usual. Because Gungun was relatively large, she also held a lotus leaf and followed Jiang Fan.
The surroundings didn't seem particularly dangerous. There were just some flying dinosaurs in the sky. Jiang Fan constantly hid to avoid being discovered. However, Zhou Niannian was very curious and looked at them a few more times when she saw them.
"Don't let them find you. They are the ancestors of eagles. Do you know about eagle eyes? Their eyes are very sharp. You can't escape their sight. If they spot you, I'll tell you, they'll snatch you away with a single peck."
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, Zhou Niannian was extremely frightened. Hearing Jiang Fan's words, she seemed very scared. It seemed safer to stay by Jiang Fan's side now. If she continued to stare at those dinosaurs, she might really get snatched away.
"Are they that exaggerated? They are the ancestors of eagles? I studied biology but didn't learn any of this."
This remark completely stumped Jiang Fan. He didn't know how to answer her, as he wasn't sure if they were indeed the ancestors of eagles. However, these creatures were definitely very dangerous. If they could avoid them, it was best not to provoke them, otherwise, their lives would be in jeopardy.
"Stop talking nonsense. If they really catch me, I'll have to fight them hard. This gun, this weapon in my hand is so small. Look, their claws are bigger than my weapon. How can I fight them?"
Indeed, Jiang Fan carried the fire axe because it was convenient to carry.
If these dinosaurs really targeted them, he genuinely didn't know how they would fight. The centipedes before were only defeated after Jiang Fan and the others found their weakness. If these dinosaurs decided to fight Jiang Fan and his group, they really didn't know what to do.
Just then, a very large earthworm appeared beside them. Its head emerged from the ground, and its body was enormous, making Jiang Fan mistake it for a sand worm.
"Oh my god, thankfully these things don't eat people, otherwise we'd be done for. Hurry up, don't get caught by them. Their bodies are big enough to crush us directly."
It was known that earthworms possessed immense burrowing capabilities. Although they didn't move quickly, their bodies were strong enough to break through the soil, let alone crush the people in front of them.
However, to Jiang Fan's surprise, it didn't seem to notice Jiang Fan and his group. It was wriggling over, as if to burrow underground beneath their feet.
Jiang Fan immediately led his companions and quickly ran into a nearby cave to hide.
"This earthworm is too big! Such a huge earthworm is simply terrifying. If it really touched us, would we get stuck to it and unable to get off?"
Zhou Niannian's worry was not unfounded, as the earthworm was covered in many huge stones, some of which weighed more than they did. Furthermore, because of the earthworm's mucus, if they got stuck in it, they might not be able to get off.
"Anyway, it's best not to touch them. If we really do, then I don't know what to do. We'll just have to rescue each other. Their mucus is definitely very sticky."
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, Zhou Niannian nodded quickly, seemingly agreeing with Jiang Fan's assessment.
Then, the group prepared to wait in the cave for the earthworm to leave before continuing their journey. However, unexpectedly, a giant dinosaur from the sky descended and attacked the earthworm without hesitation, snatching it up with a single claw.
"Oh my god, are you kidding me? This earthworm was instantly killed like this?"
The moment the giant earthworm was caught by the dinosaur, its head was torn off. Its body was also grabbed by the powerful claws and lifted into the sky. Although the earthworm was very large, the dinosaur was clearly much stronger.
After snatching it, the dinosaur dropped it from a great height. Only after it was smashed to death did the dinosaur descend to eat it.
Jiang Fan and the others were so terrified by this horrific scene that they dared not speak. Zhou Niannian also realized the gravity of the situation. She looked at Jiang Fan with great fear and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank goodness we're small, otherwise we would have been discovered long ago. If we had been discovered, the few of us would have been dead for sure. Its attack power is so immense. If we hadn't hidden, we would all be dead by now."
This statement was no joke. The fact that it could scare Zhou Niannian to this extent was naturally due to the dinosaur's immense strength. When it swooped down, the downdraft nearly made Jiang Fan and the others lose their footing. Fortunately, they were hiding in the cave, where the wind resistance was smaller.
"Do you know now how terrifying they are? I'm telling you, if we really provoke them, we'll be finished."
After saying this, Jiang Fan immediately continued to hide in the cave. He scanned the surroundings for any other animals before daring to slowly walk out, carrying the lotus leaf and continuing their trek. Gungun, after seeing the dinosaur, clearly became much more timid and stayed close to Jiang Fan, as if it too believed Jiang Fan was the strongest fighter, with Dai Xiaomei as the formidable second-in-command.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any powerful creatures that put them in a difficult situation along the way, and they successfully escaped from their clutches.
However, it seemed like there was still some distance to reach the cave ahead. Last time, Jiang Fan and Yao escaped together, both possessing great stamina and agility, which resulted in them not getting injured.
But this time, with so many companions, it was hard to say.
