Chapter 520: Chapter 246 Dad, I Admire You So Much! [6000 Words, Big Chapter]_3

Looking at those Eustreptospondylus outside, the little one’s eyes were filled with amazement.

With such a long neck on that dinosaur, it must be quite imposing to ride on it.

One would definitely attract a lot of attention wherever one went!

But, it was also very dangerous.

He knew that.

After all, this creature was a purely wild species, and its intelligence was nothing like his obedient Spirit Bonded Beast, so there was definitely a great danger.

The little one then turned his head to look around to see if there were any other dinosaurs appearing.

In looking, he didn’t see any other dinosaurs.

“Dad, should we go out and take a look?” The little one was getting a bit restless, as the valley seemed less interesting now.

Maybe they could see many more kinds of dinosaurs outside!

“Okay, but we must be careful and not make too much noise!” Ye Fan said.

He could tell the little one was getting restless and was overcome by curiosity to go out and explore.

However, they had seen enough of the outside scene, and it was time to go out and take a look!

Besides, with herbivorous dinosaurs like Eustreptospondylus around, it meant there were many herbivores and few, if any, carnivorous dinosaurs nearby, or at least it was unlikely to encounter carnivorous creatures.

The books say that herbivorous dinosaurs usually gathered in one place, only slightly more spread out, but basically, they stayed within the same area.

After all, herbivorous dinosaurs tend to have a milder temperament and are not fond of conflict.

In this way, carnivorous dinosaurs don’t dare to approach easily, as being discovered would lead to battle…

Of course, there were some carnivorous dinosaurs who might try to sneak up for an easy meal.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I remember.” The little one nodded solemnly.

He wasn’t foolhardy; he knew to be careful.

With that, Ye Fan slowly led the little one out of the valley, heading toward a large rock which they had used as shelter earlier; of course, this rock was also closer to the Eustreptospondylus, allowing for better observation of the creatures.

Xiao Wu obediently followed his dad, letting him hold his little hand as they crouched and bent over, slowly making their way toward the large rock.

Xiao Wu knew the seriousness of the situation, so he remained silent, even slowing down his breathing.

He didn’t want to be the one to cause trouble for his dad!

Everything Ye Fan had said, he took to heart, and he tried his best to comply, as it was about the safety of both him and his dad; he understood how grave the situation was.

No sooner had they leaned against the rock to catch their breath than they felt something akin to an earthquake.

But it was not an earthquake.

The ground was trembling!

This…

The two looked at each other, quietly peeking out, and saw not far away, several tall figures slowly approaching,

My goodness!

A few more herbivorous dinosaurs had arrived!

Were they all coming here to graze together?

Wait, upon closer inspection, those were Plate Dragons!

The Eustreptospondylus was closely related to Plate Dragons; it was unexpected that they would coexist so harmoniously.

“Dad, are these also juvenile dragons?” The little one said, noticing the similarities and differences between the two types of dinosaurs.

What exactly were these dinosaurs?

‘Child, didn’t I mention earlier that Eustreptospondylus is closely related to Plate Dragons? What just arrived are indeed Plate Dragons!’ Ye Fan explained.

‘No wonder they look so similar!’ The little one nodded and whispered.

These dinosaurs were truly enormous!

The mere approach of these creatures made the ground tremble as if underfoot, it was truly impressive.

But this also highlighted just how terrifying the dinosaurs of that era were!

In comparison, humans would seem like small children next to giants.

“Indeed, Plate Dragons are heavier than middle-sized Eustreptospondylus, but they are not as long; you know, adult Plate Dragons can weigh almost five tons!” Ye Fan said, his eyes filled with astonishment.

“Plate Dragons are ancient dinosaurs that lived 200 million years ago, classified under the suborder Prosauropoda; they’re huge, see? This big fellow, almost as long as a public bus.

Sometimes, they move on all fours to forage for plants on the ground, but when needed, they can stand erect on their two strong hind legs to look for other feeding spots.

Plate Dragons’ teeth and jaw structure aren’t particularly suited for chewing.

Thus, Plate Dragons probably swallowed various stones, stored them in their stomachs, and rolled them like a grinding machine to crush their food into a paste.

Plate Dragons could easily bend their claws backwards. Usually, they rest on the ground like toes, but if they want to grasp something, they bend their five claws forward and clench them into a fist. It’s not easy for Plate Dragons to walk upright.

Their flexible necks made them too top-heavy to walk on two legs at all times. Crawling with their limbs touching the ground was more comfortable and natural for Plate Dragons.

Plate Dragon means “flat reptile,” and as a herbivore, it was the first giant dinosaur to live on Earth, and moreover, Plate Dragons are known to be the largest dinosaurs of the Triassic period!” Ye Fan whispered as he explained to his son.
