Chapter 24 The Struggle Under the Torrential Rain
The buffalo struggled frantically, and upon seeing this, the Deinonychus leader immediately dispatched a small team to rush to the riverbank to "rescue" the buffalo.
The Deinonychus scratched the anaconda's exposed skin, forcing the anaconda to break free from its entanglement with the buffalo due to the excruciating pain.
Another anaconda was dragged up the riverbank by its head and neck by three deinonychus.
On the dry, sandy ground, the anaconda's strangulation advantage was greatly reduced, and the deinonychus took turns biting and slashing, soon severely injuring it.
To ensure that their prey, the buffalo herd, would no longer be driven away by anacondas and cheetahs, the Deinonychus herd simply formed a large circle to "protect" the buffalo.
The participants from Annam felt as if they had swallowed a fly as they looked at the current state of their buffalo herds.
Australia, South Korea, and China are treating their water buffalo like toys, playing with them for a long time!
[Annam: Damn you kangaroo country, you Korean country...you have absolutely no conscience.]
[Annam: Our water buffaloes are being raised in captivity as food.]
Annam: I refuse to accept this!
If you're not happy about it, just accept it. Why make such a fuss?
[Australia: The Koreans are really useless; they can't even herd a herd of buffalo properly.]
[South Korea: You guys are so powerful, yet you haven't wiped out the Deinonychus clan.]
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, the herd of zebras, driven away, found themselves in another crisis.
......
Inside the observation room, Mickey made his final decision and decided to fight the Deinonychus.
Mickey knew that letting the anacondas into the grasslands to fight would be extremely disadvantageous for them, but Mickey had no choice.
However, the previous plan to drive away food failed. If they didn't take a gamble now, the Deinonychus would completely control the buffalo herd, and the food advantage would accelerate its evolution.
By then, the anaconda population will have no chance to recover.
Mickey didn't attack immediately, but waited, waiting for a dark night, waiting for an environment suitable for the anaconda to move.
Six thousand seven hundred and fifty-one years later.
The territory in the northeast of the ancient continent was hit by a torrential rain, a downpour that had lasted for two days.
Mickey knew his chance had come.
The wet ground, which has accumulated rainwater, is ideal for anacondas to move around on, and their thermal sensing ability also gives them some night vision when they move at night.
Mickey arranged for Li Zhengtai's cheetah pack to set off with him.
Li Zhengtai was helpless, because neither rain nor nighttime was friendly to cheetahs.
Cheetahs' fur makes them dislike water, and they have almost no night vision.
But Li Zhengtai still had to listen.
.....
The torrential rain poured down, turning the low-lying areas of the grassland into patches of mud.
Mickey issued the order for a general attack to the anaconda swarm via his consciousness.
More than a hundred anacondas emerged from the edge of the forest, taking advantage of the sound of rain and flowing water to split into several groups and slip into the grassland, heading towards the area where the dromaeosaurids and buffalo herds were located.
Although reluctant, Li Zhengtai ordered the remaining forty-odd cheetahs to patrol the flanks, waiting for an opportunity to scare the buffalo herd and create chaos.
Just as Mickey was overjoyed, thinking his raid would be a success, he forgot that the Deinonychus also had night vision.
Moreover, its night vision is even better than that of the anaconda!
It's no wonder Mickey didn't know this, since the evolution of ancient life in this world has been cut off.
Despite the continuous heavy rain, several Deinonychus sentries on the outskirts of the colony still managed to spot the approaching anaconda through their enormous eye sockets and optic nerves, and could even vaguely see a cheetah roaming in the distance.
The Deinonychus quickly relayed this message to its leader.
The awakened Deinonychus raised its head and let out a series of deep, penetrating roars.
The entire Deinonychus herd, numbering about 380 individuals, was instantly awakened from their rest and quickly moved toward their leader, forming a defensive circle centered around the buffalo herd.
The Deinonychus herd crouched low, awaiting the arrival of the anaconda.
The occasional flashes of lightning across the sky added a touch of brightness and grimness to the impending battle in the area.
The first anaconda suddenly leaped out of the swollen river and pounced on a vigilant deinonychus on the perimeter.
But the Deinonychus, which had already been discovered, was even faster, leaping to the side with its two powerful hind limbs pushing off the slippery mud.
Having failed in its initial attack, the anaconda used the lubrication provided by the rainwater to launch a second attack.
More anacondas emerged from all directions.
They used the muddy ground and the swollen river to try to drag the Deinonychus into their territory.
The two anacondas worked together: one feigned an attack from the front to draw attention, while the other suddenly sprang out from the muddy swamp behind it and coiled around the hind limbs of the Deinonychus.
Caught off guard, the Deinonychus was dragged into the swollen river, struggling to break free from the anaconda's grasp.
"roar!!"
The Deinonychus leader roared and leaped into the river. Its scythe-like claws, several centimeters long, sliced through the skin on the anaconda's back, and with the help of its weight, it slashed downwards!
At the same time, it uses its jaws, filled with fine teeth, to firmly bite the back of the anaconda's neck.
"Sizzle!"
A tooth-grinding tearing sound rang out as a huge wound was ripped open in the anaconda's tough skin, and blood gushed out mixed with rainwater.
The anaconda loosened its grip due to the intense pain.
The other Deinonychus followed their leader and jumped into the river.
It wasn't that the Deinonychus wanted to fight the anaconda in the river, but rather that after three consecutive days of heavy rain, the entire grassland had been overrun by countless shallows and rivers of all sizes.
The small stretch of river where the Deinonychus and the anaconda fought was a grassland covered in green grass just three days ago.
The battle broke out in full force amidst the torrential rain.
Deinonychus continued its previous fighting style, forming small groups of five to ten, covering each other, and specifically attacking the relatively vulnerable parts of the anaconda's head, neck, and torso.
The sound of flesh tearing was drowned out by the sound of rain hitting the ground.
In less than ten minutes, the small stretch of river where the fighting had taken place turned blood red.
The blood came from both anacondas and deinonychus.
In the river, even though the shallows were formed by rainwater accumulation, they still provided considerable assistance to the anaconda.
With the help of the rain, the anaconda's enormous body increased its speed by a significant amount.
The smooth surface provides almost no resistance when swimming in shallow water.
In addition, anacondas can completely submerge underwater and hold their breath, remaining motionless for twenty minutes or even longer.
Even though there were many Deinonychus, they couldn't withstand the anaconda's ability to dive. Often, when Deinonychus were fighting, they would suddenly be pulled into the water and their bones would break under the strangulation.
If it weren't for the numerical advantage of the Deinonychus, it might not have been able to defeat the Anaconda under such weather and geographical conditions.
When Mickey saw that the battle between his group of anacondas and the group of deinonychus had reached a stalemate, he immediately urged Li Zhengtai to hurry up.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up and come help me!"
The arrival of the cheetah pack gradually put the Deinonychus pack at a disadvantage.
