Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 1479 Compsognathus longipes
The rainforest on the isolated island is fraught with danger.

The dense canopy of trees completely blocked out the sky, with only a few scattered spots of light struggling to penetrate the gaps in the leaves and fall onto the slippery ground covered with decaying leaves.

The rustling sound from the bushes made Huanji open her eyes.

Even while sleeping, a ninja can sense the abnormality around them.

After opening her eyes, she immediately nudged Lisa, who was already snoring loudly.

Lisa's reaction was much slower than that of the Phantom Princess.

It took about seven or eight seconds before I managed to open my eyes.

Lisa was so tired and slept so soundly that she felt like the sky was falling.

However, she can still distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.

Huanji wouldn't wake her up for no reason.

If you wake her up, it must be because something important has happened, or there is danger.

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked softly as she rubbed her eyes.

Huanji didn't answer, but pointed to the bushes ahead, where a rustling sound could still be heard.

The bushes were less than a meter tall, but they were exceptionally dense.

The vegetation is so dense that it could easily hide five or six felines.

Upon hearing the noise, Lisa did not hesitate and immediately began packing her things.

Well, she didn't have anything to begin with.

"Shall we go?" Lisa asked softly.

Huanji nodded, holding a kunai, and began to slowly retreat.

In this environment, caution is paramount; even a wolf or a dog poses a significant threat.

It's not that we can't win, but getting injured in this kind of environment is no small matter.

One step, two steps, three steps.

As Huanji retreated to her fourth step, the bushes in front of her finally changed. In the shifting light and shadow, a strange little animal suddenly jumped out.

It has a long neck, two legs, and two tiny paws.

Its body is covered with fine blue scales.

It startled Lisa when it jumped out of the bushes.

However, when Lisa saw that it was only the size of a duck, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a little thing."

"Don't let your guard down." Huanji didn't lower her guard and continued to retreat. "These things are carnivorous, and if they live in groups, they are even more dangerous."

Lisa nodded, choosing to obey, and continued to retreat with Huanji.

After taking two more steps back, two more jumped out of the bushes.

There are three this time.

The three little creatures started squeaking as soon as they saw each other.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally sharp.

"It sounds like a mouse squeaking?"

"Keep retreating, maybe they're calling for their companions," Huanji said softly, already fairly certain that the small animals in front of her were social animals, though the size of the group remained unknown.

Hopefully, it's a small number.

“This… looks like a lizard,” Lisa said, looking at the little creature. “But it doesn’t look like one either. Could it be a dinosaur?”

Huanji knew about dinosaurs, but in her mind, dinosaurs were all huge, and the little thing in front of her didn't look like a dinosaur.

"Are you sure?" Huanji stared at the little thing and asked Lisa for confirmation.

“It looks like Compsognathus longipes!” Lisa said in English, and the last word was in Latin.

As a top student in the ninja world, and one who attended a proper university, Huanji naturally knew a little about Latin. She also knew that the scientific names of organisms were usually given in Latin.

“When I was in the lab, I read a lot of biology books. Although the pictures were sketches, they looked a lot like the little things in front of me.”

"Are they social animals?" Huanji quickly asked the question that concerned her most right now.
