Chapter 33 – humph, some dinosaurs must 'top-up' ahead of time

Because Mungo was still an adolescent, his scales were very bright. If they belonged to older dinosaurs, these scales would look dimmer.

The sun shone through the lush forest into the river, reflecting sparkles on Mungo and Gulu. Gulu felt that every piece of Mungo was glistening and beautiful.

Mungo's scales appeared dark brown and powerful at ordinary times. But under the sunlight and at closer look, one could see other colors on him. His forehead was red, his chest was blue, and his back appeared as golden color …

Gulu found that the scales on Mungo's belly were smaller and softer than those on his other parts. They're very comfortable to lie on, just like super soft sofa. No wonder Mungo said that a Tyrannosaurus rex's belly was the most vulnerable. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!

Gulu was also exhausted today. He simply sat on Mungo's belly. Mungo was so big. Gulu's human body was 1.92 m tall but only occupied less than half of his belly.

Gulu could sense that Mungo was very nervous. Even his breathing was extremely careful. He must be afraid of hurting him.

So Gulu turned over and faced Mungo. He wanted Mungo and his human body to slowly get familiar with each other. Mungo should at least know how much strength his human form could bear and how to get along with it.

Gulu found out that even though the forelimbs of Tyrannosaurus rex looked like adorable decoration compared to their huge hind legs, they were actually thicker than the arms of a 1.92 m tall man.

Mungo had three claws on each forelimb, which in turn had a very sharp claw hook at the edge. If a human was caught by this claw, that person would definitely lose a layer of flesh.

Gulu grabbed one of Mungo's forelimbs and gently scratched it on his arm. This was to let Mungo understand that touching him with this much strength wouldn't hurt him.

Under the guidance of Gulu, Mungo gradually mastered the balance. He raised his front paw and gently slid over Gulu's arm, leaving no red marks.

To be honest, Gulu was a little surprised. Tyrannosaurus rex couldn't control their strength very well. For them, a very light touch might kill human beings. Yet, Mungo managed to master the trick of not hurting him so quickly.

It's really difficult for Tyrannosaurus rex to touch anything with such little force. Mungo was really great!

Mungo became a curious baby after he mastered the strength. He used his forelimbs to rub all over Gulu's body.

Mungo had never felt anything so silky to the touch. The skin was more slippery than water and smoother than wind. It's very comfortable. How could the human body be so magical?

Gulu was tickled by Mungo and rolled all over Mungo's belly while laughing and splashing in the river.

……

After the two had enough playing in the water, Mungo remained in the river with his back to the shore to rest. Gulu still laid on Mungo's belly and comfortably fell asleep.

Mungo's adorable forelimbs seemed to be created in order to embrace Gulu's human body. Compared to the rest of the Tyrannosaurus rex's body, they're just right to encircle Gulu. With their protection, Gulu could move about in his sleep without worrying about falling into the water.

At noon, the sun-bathed river water was warm while Mungo's body felt cool in the water, which let Gulu sleep soundly.

Gulu woke up in the afternoon. He became a little Triceratops to lie on Mungo's head and let Mungo carry him home. !! You are reading stolen text, if you read this at any other site besides idleturtle-translations.com. !!

The two were not in a hurry. They slowly strolled through the lush forest.

While walking along, Gulu suddenly saw a small Triceratops behind a big tree in the distance. It looked just like the one who knocked him off the cliff before!

Gulu immediately shouted, "Mungo, that's the little Triceratops that hit me! Hurry up and chase! Over there!"

Mungo immediately ran in the direction of Gulu's finger. But by the time they arrived, there was no sign of the little Triceratops.

Gulu also seemed to see a small feathered dinosaur on the back of the little Triceratops. Because of the large distance, he couldn't make out what type it was. But there was definitely a small feathered dinosaur with the little Triceratops.

They searched nearby for a long time but couldn't find it. When they prepared to head back, Gulu became attracted by a small dinosaur with beautiful long tails.

This dinosaur was standing on the trunk of a tree. Four long tails hung down. The four long tails were feathered. Each of them had different colors and shone with colorful light under the sparse sunlight.

The beautiful little dinosaur was only about the size of a dove. Its body was covered with short feathers. Its tails were really beautiful and long, just like fluttering ribbons.

Gulu could confirm that this was an Epidexipteryx.

Jeholosaurus was one of the staple foods of Sinosauropteryx.

In addition, all of these Jeholosaurus were small. Gulu knew that the Sinosauropteryx in the air would not give up such a good hunting opportunity.

Sure enough, a few bigger Sinosauropteryx soon appeared. Just like eagles catching chickens, they picked up several small Jeholosaurus and planned to run away.

However, a few adult Jeholosaurus came along at this moment. Jeholosaurus were very "humanized" and would try their best to protect their young.

All of the remaining little Jeholosaurus rushed to the adult side to seek shelter.

Adult Jeholosaurus were much bigger than Sinosauropteryx. They desperately chased after the Sinosauropteryx, trying to recover their captured cubs.

Gulu saw the Sinosauropteryx release these little Jeholosaurus. He thought the Sinosauropteryx wanted to forget about it. As a result, they abandoned all of the smaller dinosaurs and directly hunted the big dinosaur.

Several Sinosauropteryx unitedly pecked at a very strong adult male Jeholosaurus. Soon the Jeholosaurus fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Normally, a few pecks shouldn't have let out that much blood. How did it die so fast?

Gulu suddenly remembered that another unique skill of Sinosauropteryx was that they could use poison! Their teeth had grooves that could inject venom into the prey, quickly poisoning it to death.

The rest of the Jeholosaurus fled quickly.

Gulu: F***! This dinosaur, no, this bird, this Sinosauropteryx bird is too powerful! Not only can it run and fly fast, it can also use poison. This must be the time for evolution to "top-up".

(T/N: top-up = be raised to the peak)

Sinosauropteryx could be said to be a very horrible predator in this forest.

Afterward, the Sinosauropteryx flew some of its prey to a cave with luxuriant fern covering.

Suddenly, Gulu seemed to see that little Triceratops appeared at the entrance of the cave!
