Chapter 69 How about we catch a couple for you to study?
Like some carnivorous dinosaurs, some large ones would choose to hunt alone, while smaller ones would hunt in groups.
But regardless of the method, it's all for the sake of better survival.
Since the Quru on this planet has evolved into that form, it is clearly advantageous for their survival.
"Wait, won't Qu Ru get poisoned by those spores?"
Han Bei suddenly spoke, his face full of confusion.
It's worth noting that Cheng Shun was wearing protective gear at that time, yet he still contracted the virus.
Could it be that this so-called Qu Ru wouldn't be poisoned?
"Quru will not be affected by those things because a unique internal capsule has evolved within its body."
Allen began to explain.
"You mean, Qu Ru can become immune to those neurotrophic spores without taking hawthorn berries?"
Su Yang pondered.
"right."
Allen nodded.
The dinosaur people have always kept to themselves and have never bothered Qu Ru.
The two sides have basically maintained a stable balance.
"Could Qu Ru Neng be infected with the Mad Dragon Virus?"
After a long silence, Zhang Changgong suddenly spoke up and asked.
"No, the main receptors for the mad dragon virus are those dinosaurs that have not yet evolved."
Allen shook his head.
"Of course, if it's a modified virus, it might be able to invade our bodies."
Although it was not explicitly stated, Al mutated after being injected with the virus.
This alone is enough to prove what he just said.
Given their mindset, it's impossible that they wouldn't have considered this.
"What does Qu Ru usually eat?"
Zhang Changgong raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
"Omnivorous, but mostly meat-based."
Allen thought for a moment, then said.
Omnivorous.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgong lowered his head and began to ponder.
If that's the case, it basically means that there are probably very few animals in the Giant Mushroom Forest.
After all, those spores containing neurotoxins can suffocate living organisms.
Over time, very few animals ventured into the Giant Mushroom Forest.
Because of the lack of food, Quru may have been omnivorous for this very reason.
Otherwise, given their ferocity, they should have been primarily eating meat.
"Can't Qu Ru leave the Giant Mushroom Forest?"
Su Yang asked with some curiosity.
"Sure, but it would be safer to stay in the Giant Mushroom Forest."
"After all, Quru and those dinosaurs that haven't evolved yet can be described as sworn enemies." After thinking for a moment about how to describe it, Allen said.
"If we leave the Giant Mushroom Forest, it will be difficult for Quru to hunt large prey given its size. And small ones are not so easy to catch either."
"Moreover, there are many other large dinosaurs outside the Giant Mushroom Forest."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang suddenly understood.
No wonder they're hiding in the Giant Mushroom Forest; it turns out they can't beat their natural enemies outside and can only rely on the spores in the Giant Mushroom Forest to ensure their safety.
"So, the dinosaur carcasses we saw back then were also for this reason?"
After Han Bei finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown.
"Although Quru and dinosaurs are sworn enemies, those dinosaurs wouldn't be foolish enough to go into the Giant Mushroom Forest on their own, would they?"
"Isn't this just courting death?"
Su Yang and Zhang Changgong were also curious after hearing this.
After all, dinosaurs weren't particularly unintelligent creatures, so how could they not even be aware of that little bit of danger?
"This is because Quru's brain was a natural tonic for dinosaurs."
Allen coughed twice and explained.
"tonic?"
Han Bei was still a little puzzled. Even if it was good for his health, it shouldn't be that bad, right?
But Allen's next words answered his question.
"The brain of the Quru was an excellent food source for dinosaurs. It could not only stop bleeding quickly, but also strengthen their bodies."
"Brain hemostasis?"
Han Bei's CPU was about to crash at this moment.
He had never seen a brain of any creature that had such a powerful hemostatic effect.
For a moment, he even doubted whether Qu Ru really existed.
"Dr. Su, do you know Qu Ru?"
Han Bei couldn't help but look at Su Yang beside him and asked.
"Know."
Su Yang nodded and continued, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that the Quru is a three-legged creature with a human face and a bird's body."
"A three-legged bird with a human face?!"
Han Bei's eyes widened; it was clearly the first time he had ever heard of Qu Ru.
Even more unexpectedly, this creature is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
It wasn't that he hadn't heard of the Classic of Mountains and Seas; it was said to be a collection of strange tales, but Han Bei hadn't taken the initiative to read it.
But unexpectedly, it has been proven true here today.
"Its cry is its own name."
Su Yang recalled information about Qu Ru in his mind.
He himself had almost forgotten how long ago he had read the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
I quickly gathered my thoughts.
Su Yang then looked up. "Qu Ru, is it difficult to catch?"
"They're quite difficult to catch in the Giant Mushroom Forest."
Allen began.
After all, with those spores present, no matter how powerful the opponent's weapons are, they cannot rashly enter the Giant Mushroom Forest.
It's important to know that if Arcana hadn't happened to be in the Giant Mushroom Forest, one of the enemy would definitely have died.
And what Allen was referring to was Cheng Shun, who had inexplicably fallen victim to the virus before.
"Should we catch a couple to study?"
Zhang Changgong turned to look at Su Yang.
"You can try to catch it, but you have to be careful of the Giant Mushroom Forest."
Su Yang nodded; he was quite interested in Qu Ru.
On Earth, apart from those described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there are no other creatures that resemble the Quru.
So he was really curious to see if the three-legged white-faced creature described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas was actually real.
Based on Allen's words alone, it's still somewhat of a figment of imagination. But if you catch two, that's a different story; after all, they're real animals.
"Seriously, how come there are mythical beasts here, just like those described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
A slight sense of confusion arose in Su Yang's heart.
The names are the same as those in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the external features described by Alan are also very similar.
This is not Earth.
Even on Earth, no bird species matching the description of Quru has ever been found.
But it was in this Jurassic world that Qu Ru's figure was discovered.
And considering the previous water-related writing, it's hard not to let one's imagination run wild.
"The Giant Mushroom Forest is indeed quite troublesome."
Zhang Changgong pondered for a moment, "The protective suits in the main world don't seem to be working very well, I wonder why."
Everyone was wearing thick protective suits, yet Cheng Shun still got infected.
This puzzled him greatly.
"By the way, Dr. Su, how's the research on that tissue sample going?"
Zhang Changgong suddenly remembered that he had cut off a small sample of the giant mushroom before Cheng Shun was infected.
It was after that sample was cut off that Cheng Shun contracted the virus.
Perhaps the cause of the poisoning can be found through that sample.
