Mitch had returned to his university professorship. After what had happened he had agreed with Jamie and Max that it was better to abandon the expedition: with such an intelligent dinosaur they risked of being eaten. They also no longer had the helicopter, so tracking it would have been impossible. Although a little disappointed, all three agreed that continuing with the search would be too expensive and dangerous.After all, they already had enough material. They had recovered countless samples of teeth, blood, scales, feces and they even had a close encounter with whom they had discovered sensational things about the spinosaurus.After Jamie's footage was released, even Max couldn't believe it. However, after several experts had authenticated it, the scientific community could only admit that they had found the smartest animal after the humans!A creature that didn't fear the fire was something no one had never heard before. It meant that it had the cognitive abilities necessary to u
"When are you going to talk to your daughter?"Markus Jersey looked up from the files he was reading, only to find his wife's frowning face. "Let's give her some more space" he tried to say.But Bethany didn't seem willing to give up this time. "We've been 'giving her space' for days! How long are you going to wait?". As she said those words she slammed her fist on the desk, a gesture that was enough to make her husband jump.Markus couldn't blame his wife. It could be said that, in recent times, the family had not really had a very good relationship.When they finally got back from the forest, Jocelyne looked healthy and in fact the exams proved that she hadn't contracted any virus or disease, which was extraordinary since she hadn't eaten cooked or sterilized foods for days, thus exposing herself to any virus or parasite. However, the nightmares had begun to haunt her from the early nights. She often had hallucinations and panic attacks when someone touched her without her wanting to
[Evolution complete: congratulations, you have evolved to Spinosaurus ingens!] As soon as he woke up, Sobek felt a slew of indefinite smells coming through his nose and a great deal of sounds coming to his ears. His sense of smell and hearing had amplified enormously. Even though he had still no way of trying it, it was as if he knew he could smell or hear something from a distance of tens of kilometers!He got up and stretched. The limbs were still stiff from all the time they had been standing still, but they soon recovered. Once on his feet, he came out of the cave and after making sure there were no troubles on the horizon he went to look at himself in the river.He had become much more threatening: his entire body had become more muscular and flexible, making him much more like a terrestrial carnivore. The hind legs gave the idea of being very strong and suitable for running. His tail had tapered, becoming snake-like, much better suited for running. The sail on the back then we
Sobek pulled his phone out of the [Inventory] and went looking for the latest news. His huge claws made it difficult for him to use his cell phone, but he was patient. When he went to G****e he simply searched for the word 'spinosaurus', sure that he will have find something useful to understand that situation.As expected, the first thing that appeared was a photo of him. No, an entire gallery of images of him. He could say he had become famous.Sobek quickly scrolled the page. It was filled with newspaper articles, links, and scientific journals that did nothing except talk about him. He couldn't believe the amount of information scientists had gathered about him. He hadn't expected so much interest from the scientific community. He was startled when he found out they had called him 'Spinosaurus superior'.So the species names given by the System were what humans would have given yo him once he was discovered by them? Did this mean that before evolving again he would have had another
For the following days the hunt was unfortunately lean; Sobek managed to eat quite a lot, but not as much as he wanted. Unfortunately, the big dinosaurs didn't all stick together: while fish often swam in schools and smaller animals were found in larger herds, the bigger ones tended to be rarer; after all, being bigger also meant having a greater need for food, and consequently the selective laws of evolution limited their numbers, which otherwise would have been too big for the available resources. His only preys had been solitary creatures and even so it had been difficult to catch them. Even with using [Ambush] and [Deadly claws], he had a hard time winning.First, he had collided with a large, solitary male of kentrosaurus. With its four meters, it was nearly five times smaller than Sobek, yet the spinosaurus had to work hard to get past its spiny tail. Once again [Regeneration] had saved his life: if he hadn't been for that ability, he would surely have died from all the wounds th
The two gorgosaurs were hiding opposite each other. The pack of pachyrhinosaurs was like a river between them. The ceratopsids were so many that it was impossible to see the end of the herd. Surely the plan of the gorgosaurs was to attack the pachyrhinosaurs and make them escape, and then focus on a single prey and capture it in chaos. It was an absolutely efficient strategy, much like the one of the lions or the wolves.However, the gorgosaurs didn't know that due to Sobek's constant attacks the pachyrhinosaurs had changed their defensive strategy! When they attacked, the gorgosaurs would have had a nasty surprise!Now the pachyrhinosaurus' defensive strategy was to stick together against the predator. When they flattened against each other, creating a living wall, the two gorgosaurs would have found themselves separated and unable to reach their companion. So Sobek could have attacked each one of them alone! If he had faced the gorgosaurs together, Sobek would have been in serious
By the time the leveling up was over, Sobek had reached a length of 25 meters and a height of 8 meters. Its size was now something no terrestrial predator had ever achieved. He was now even bigger than some sauropods!He was literally a titan among the titans. No other land predator was as big and powerful as he was! Once his abilities would have been maximized he would have been absolutely invincible. Soon, the Tyrannosaurus would officially lose its throne as king of the dinosaurs!The pack of pachyrhinosaurs had departed, but Sobek quickly found them just by sniffing the air. Now he could run at a speed of 26 km/h, almost on par with a t-rex. The pachyrhinosaurs could reach 35 km/h, but that was if they were alone and on the run; there was no way a whole herd could move so quickly. Too many animals in the same spot greatly reduced their mobility, and until they noticed the presence of a predator they had no reason to escape at maximum speed.Once he found it he was able to resume hi
When he woke he felt something tickle his lips. He opened his eyes and saw a small bipedal creature that was eating the remnants of his previous meals from his teeth.[Prey detected: Eoraptor lunensis, compsognathidae. Experience: 750 points]Apparently he had found a street cleaner. In the past as in the present there were always those tiny creatures that, in order to survive, went to eat in the mouths of the largest predators, and in return cleaned their mouths helping them with oral hygiene.Sobek decided to let it do. Even though he wasn't afraid of tooth decay since his teeth were constantly replacing it was still nice to have his mouth cleaned sometimes. Besides, he doubted that the eoraptor could give him more than 0.2, or even 0.1 skill points.They went on like this for half an hour, then Sobek decided that the little dinosaur had cleaned it up enough and got up. The eoraptor quickly fled as the spinosaurus moved. Sobek watched in amusement as he disappeared into the forest. I
