Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 76 Tribal Night Raid

Logically speaking, primitive humans should not have kept Quetzalcoatlus as pets.

The reason is that it is almost useless to the tribe and also very dangerous!

As for flying on a person like in a game, that's completely unrealistic.

These primitive people didn't have the skill of flying!

Such aerial reconnaissance is only necessary when there is constant warfare between tribes.

What truly surprised the photographer was that this Quetzalcoatlus had a saddle and reins on its back!

This means that it can actually carry people in flight!

Shen Ye was stunned after reading it. Although he knew very well that the modern reconstruction of the Quetzalcoatlus was very different from its real appearance, with the distortion rate of some soft tissues such as the wing membrane reaching almost 80%, its skeleton was still relatively well understood by humans.

In theory, it is not capable of carrying people in flight.

However, this theory may not be correct, because paleontology currently has no definitive conclusion on whether Quetzalcoatlus could fly or how much it weighed.

Seeing is believing!

"Look, a young savage has mounted it!"

The photographer shouted, and everyone gathered around to watch.

Everyone stared intently at the screen. The young man said something to the tribal warrior next to him, then patted the Quetzalcoatlus's neck, leaned down, and almost hugged the Quetzalcoatlus's neck.

The Quetzalcoatlus walked forward on all fours, arrived at the cliff, and then leaped into the air!

This enormous creature spread its massive wings, flapped them a few times, and flew directly into the sky.

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I simply couldn't believe it!

The photographer immediately controlled the drone to follow closely above it.

Under the moonlight, the large flying object was flying north. On the display screen, the young savage on the back of the pterosaur was crouched low, like a motorcycle rider.

The dragon saddle was designed to suit these savages. They held the reins in their hands to control the direction, and there were wooden sticks at their legs for gripping, allowing them to ride steadily on the dragon's spine.

"That guy is heading towards our camp!"

Cui Zhengxi said.

"That's right, it seems they plan to launch their attack tonight!"

Shen Ye was also very certain of this; these savages did indeed possess the ability to march at night!

Moreover, they knew that they, as modern people, possessed very strange and deadly weapons, which is why they chose to launch a night attack!

"Hehe, I was worried they wouldn't come!"

As Zhou Jian spoke, he patted the armor on his chest, which clanged loudly.

Blacksmith Li and Wang Hao have already forged ten such armors, and they are complete sets, including arm guards, wrist guards, leg guards, and knee guards.

In addition, the camp had more than thirty spears, a powerful bow, and two pistols.

Moreover, the reconnaissance and exploration team and the security team already have experience dealing with savages and dinosaurs, and they are no longer novices.

Soon, the Quetzalcoatlus flew over the camp.

It is hundreds of meters above the ground.

Just as everyone was wondering how he had observed the camp's situation so clearly, the young savage reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of green leaves, chewed them for a while, and then dripped the green juice mixed with saliva into his eyes.

"What is he doing?"

Zhou Jian asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

But nobody knows.

The young man paused for a moment, then stared intently at the camp below.

The drone footage clearly showed the young man looking out over the camp while simultaneously poking holes in a piece of animal hide around his waist with bone spikes.

"He's counting people!"

Shen Ye saw it at a glance.

"Damn, how could he possibly see people in the camp from that height?"

Zhou Jian was greatly shocked. It would be fine during the day, but this was at night. Even though there was a campfire, it wouldn't illuminate much. Moreover, from above, it wasn't the reflection of the campfire.

"It's probably related to the fluid he just dripped into his eyes!"

Cui Zhengxi said.

Everyone was shocked.

"Are there really plant juices in this world that can improve eyesight? Is that scientifically possible?" Zhou Jian asked.

"That's possible. There's a tribe in the Amazon rainforest whose hunters put a certain plant juice in their eyes every time they go hunting. That stuff can improve their static and dynamic vision," Shen Ye said.

"Is that so?"

Mike expressed his doubts, at which point the reporter spoke up.

"There is indeed such a documentary. They may use different plants, but the principle may be the same," the reporter said.

After hovering in the air for a while, the pterosaur flew straight back, its every move under the surveillance of the drone.

After the Quetzalcoatl returned, they sent out twenty-five savage warriors, plus two warrior leaders riding tendon dragons, for a total of twenty-seven people!

They carried torches and spears and entered the dense forest.

"As expected, they've come. Cui Zhengxi, please explain the tactical deployment."

Shen Ye looked at Cui Zhengxi and said.

He had absolutely no experience in combat, let alone tactical deployment; professional tasks should be handled by professionals.

"Um!"

Cui Zhengxi nodded.

Against ordinary savages, given the favorable conditions his group possessed, he could achieve a victory without suffering any losses.

Cui Zhengxi spoke to those around him, "Those primitive people will come from the south. We only need ten soldiers inside the cabin, some others to ambush in the woods to the north, and two more to the east and west respectively. The second gunshot will be the signal to surround them!"

"Which ten people stayed in the cabin?" Zhou Jian asked.

"Shen Ye and I will definitely stay inside the cabin. When they come over, their first priority will definitely be to attack the cabin. We have guns, so we can fight back and kill their warrior leader," Cui Zhengxi said.

"I'll stay inside the cabin too!"

Mike raised his hand and said that Jack would stay.

The photographer also raised his hand.

Next up were the reporters.

Sergei hesitated for a moment, then raised his arm as well.

Chen Yue raised her hand at this moment. To others, this might seem dangerous, but after a brief analysis, she realized that these ten people were all quite strong in combat, and they also had two guns. What danger was there at all?

This is also a good opportunity to show off and pave the way for future elections as female leader.

But, we're still missing one person.

Mike pulled his two teammates over.

It is precisely young people with braces and young people who wear glasses.

"Sergei, you don't need to join. You have to charge in with Zhang Qiming and the others. Whoever doesn't charge will be punished!"

Mike said to Sergei.

Sergei nodded. The braces-wearing youth and the glasses-wearing youth seemed a little nervous. After all, they had never participated in a battle before. This time, they were standing directly in the encirclement. What if they were slow to charge forward? Would they be turned into pincushions?

"We don't have armor!"

The bespectacled young man said timidly.

"So many people don't have armor, it's not like you're the only one without it. Anyway, it will take them an hour or two to get here. In the meantime, you can make your own shields."

Mike picked up a shield he had made himself. It was made of aluminum alloy skin that he had torn off from the wreckage. It was thick and folded up in several layers. He had also drilled holes in it and made two soft grips. He could put his hands through them and use his entire forearm as a shield.

The reconnaissance and exploration team members all had shields like these, and these weren't made by blacksmith Li; they were weapons they made themselves in their spare time.

Li Nong, the blacksmith, how long will it take to complete?

These young men were members of the security team, and they were mostly idle during the day, yet they didn't know what they should do.

The young man with glasses and the young man with braces lowered their heads in shame.

By this time, the photographer had already used a drone to determine the route and speed of the Savage army's advance.

"They're moving at a moderate pace; they should arrive in two hours. I'll scout again in an hour."

The photographer spoke as he controlled the drone to fly back.

Cui Zhengxi began conducting pre-battle drills for everyone, allowing them to get used to the upcoming battle.

Although most people will still feel nervous, pre-battle anxiety is normal.

With drills in place, once you're actually on the battlefield, there's no time to be nervous; everything will be controlled by instinct and muscle memory.

After an hour of training, Cui Zhengxi came to Shen Ye's side.

"Chief, should we give a pre-battle speech to boost morale? I'm not very good at that, and besides, everyone trusts you more."

Cui Zhengxi said.

Shen Ye had no idea what a pre-battle speech was!

However, he harbored a burning anger within him.

They actually sold the survivors to other tribes, and it will probably be very difficult to find them later. Although they are just strangers to him, in this world, his fellow countrymen are becoming fewer and fewer. His strong racial identity and fear of loneliness are gradually awakening the bloodlust buried in his genes.

"I'll just say whatever comes to mind!"

Shen Ye nodded, slowly walked towards the highest rock in the camp, and then climbed up.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Everyone, come here for a moment. I'd like to say a few words to you all."

Many of those present were high-ranking members of society, and they were still quite afraid of this kind of brutal conflict.

Especially since they had witnessed savages killing people before.

In addition, the disaster tormented their minds, and the accumulation of various psychological traumas made them less motivated.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. These are just a bunch of lowly animals. They have no higher emotions, no love, and they kill without hesitation. They killed so many of us and then sold the rest of us survivors to other tribes like pigs and dogs!"

"In this world, it's just us left. If even one more of us dies, we're heading towards destruction, towards loneliness—all so we can return to that warm afternoon, enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, reunite with our families after dinner, and savor their laughter and joy—"

"Those animals must be killed!"

Shen Ye expressed everyone's thoughts and aspirations, and they stopped being dejected, their eyes gradually filled with fighting spirit.

Anger is the most powerful weapon to suppress fear and ignite fighting spirit!

Finally, someone in the arena raised their spear and shouted angrily—

"Brother Ye is right. If we kill all those beasts, how can we be defeated by a bunch of low-intelligence savages? That would be too shameful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, others joined in the shouting.

"Fuck! You're right, they're just a bunch of uncivilized ape-men!"

"Kill them all, and nothing can stop us from returning alive to our loved ones!"

An exhilarating sound echoed through the valley.
