Unbeknownst to Jocelyne, Sobek hadn't limited himself to just hunting the boar.He knew that the little girl was probably very hungry, but he couldn't worry exclusively about her. He was still a living being and therefore just like everyone he needed to eat a certain amount of food every day if he wanted to continue to live, an amount that surely wouldn't have been satisfied by such a small prey like a boar. Consequently, he had to hunt primarily for himself.After all, humans, even though they had long since abandoned the natural state, had retained all the survival techniques they had evolved over millions of years: being able to survive for a long time without food was one of them. A human body could last for three months without eating. That little girl could therefore keep herself hungry for half a day. He didn't know how ethical this thought of his was, but in nature no one cared about ethics, so it certainly wasn't his problem.As for the water, instead, he hadn't had to worry.

"YOU AGAIN!?" was what Sobek wanted to scream at that moment if he had had a human voice.That day hadn't absolutly started in the best way. First he woke up and discovered that the little girl had disappeared, which was already enough to irritate him: come on, someone gave you food and protection and you ran away like that? Even though he knew it was a normal reaction from a human point of view, for his animal self it was an absolute lack of respect: since it was difficult for animals to get food, giving it to others was a very altruistic action, therefore not receiving trust in return was equivalent to a great lack of respect.He had been tempted to just leave, but that shred of humanity that he still had in the end prevailed and so he began to follow the olfactory traces left by the girl, sure that she would have gotten into some trouble. And when he finally found her, not only she was (obviously) in serious danger, but the source of that danger was the same carcharodontosaurus that

Jocelyne wasn't awakened by the sunlight. This time what took her out from the dream world was a heavy weight pressing on her chest that was making difficult for her to breathe. When she opened her sleepy eyes she found a large head with two enormous eyes watching her.She almost screamed and she immediately pushed the animal away; the creature fell off her chest and screeched in annoyance. When she calmed down, Jocelyne relaxed: the animal in front of her wasn't dangerous at all.It was a pterosaur, but it was rather strange: the muzzle was broad and flattened and the neck was practically non-existent. It must have been no more than a few tens of centimeters tall and it scuttled across the ground like a clumsy bat.Jocelyne remembered seeing that animal in a book once. If she wasn't wrong, it was called jeholopterus.The pterosaur screeched furiously and scurried away from her. It almost seemed to be offended by something. Jocelyne followed it with her eyes until the jeholopterus reac

"Damn you, Oz! Mobilize those damn troops! Now! Bring my daughter back here! NOW!"Marcus Jersey had been yelling at his chief officer for half an hour. Like all great families, he also had a private militia. Too bad it wasn't doing its duty.Jackson Oz, the chief officer, couldn't do nothing except remain silent while his master let off steam. Unfortunately, screaming wasn't very useful: the criminals didn't care about the people screaming, so they continue to remain hiding from the cops as usually.Jersey screamed for the next ten minutes, then he finally calmed down. Jackson waited patiently. He had been at his master's service for years and he knew he was a composed, serious, and rational man; his fury of the moment was only due to the frustration of losing his daughter.Unlike many of Odaria's breadwinners, Jersey didn't care that his child was a girl. He had loved her just as if she were a son and he never thought about using her as a political tool. Indeed, he was thinking of gr

Sobek headed for the source of the roar, trying to be as quiet as possible. Even if he didn't recognize the sound, it was obvious that it was the roar of a large predator.As he walked, more roars came from deep in the jungle. Hearing them, Sobek could deduce that there were at least two predators fighting.Eventually he came to the edge of a slope, where he stopped. Below him, in fact, there was a large clearing where at least a dozen large dinosaurs were resting.[Prey identified: Torvosaurus gurneyi, megalosauridae. Experience: 60,000 points]Sobek's heart leapt. Torvosaurs! They were basically the tyrannosaurs of the Jurassic period! They were predators at the top of the food chain. They didn't have the jaw structure as powerful as the one of the t-rex, but they were still almost as big as it was and had a powerful bite. They were the kind of dinosaurs that Sobek preferred stay away from.Their amount of experience proved their danger. Sobek was sure that if he ate one of them he w
