This wild land of Sauria is home to many dinosaurs from spring to fall. During the winter, most dinosaurs would migrate to warmer areas and become home to another group of beasts that were different from the dinosaurs.

A few weeks ago, when the red leaves began to fall, the Parasaurolophus staying under the tree immediately informed its companions that winter was coming and they had to get up and migrate; now a herd of Megaloceros gathered under the tree, emerging from the white snow, looking for food to satisfy hunger; now the tree has become lifeless and desolate after all its leaves have fallen out.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKw1XY58Q
"Forgive me, Maia… for this needed sin."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2ImSH3GWg
Even so, the battle for survival among living creatures is not limited by the changes in seasons. An Arctic Saurian named Helionyx was quietly hiding among the tall trees where none of the Megaloceros noticed his presence. He drew his bow and arrows fully and aimed them at the prey who did not know that a disaster was coming…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHAyK9hxTi
"I take all I must. No more… no less…"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwyUOngTnQ
As a nomadic hunter, Helionyx would always recite this prayer before shooting his prey. The only difference was that when he finished reciting the prayer softly, he glanced at the beast that was lowering its body not far away, as if it was preparing to ambush its prey, until the beast also turned its attention to him, he also nodded tacitly. Then he turned to look at the prey on the field.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjUshqNgr
"And I pray that this child of yours may see you once again."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmtGs4lm22
As Helionyx finished speaking, the arrow was immediately released, hitting the dead tree trunk closest to where one of the does was. From that moment on, the beast ambushing in the forest also attacked with all its might, turning its claws and claws on the doe that had no time to escape from the scene!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NkEksuGo
The moment the doe was knocked down, the two animals rolled several times before the predator pushed the doe to the ground with all its strength, and then dug its twenty-centimeter-long sharp fangs between the upper jaws. It penetrates the target's neck muscles, and the blood vessels in the target's neck rupture, and the target eventually falls to the ground and dies.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpmiP1juK6
Once the killing was over, the predator did not relax at all, nor did it gorge on the prey's meat on the spot. Instead, it quietly stayed where it was, waiting for Helionyx to slowly walk to the death scene, then it pulled out its fangs stained with the blood of its prey, stood up, and turned its head to look at Helionyx, who was about to deal with the prey.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL5r3991c0
This is a Smilodon that has been adopted by Helionyx for a long time. For him, this beast is not only a good companion like a hound or other such animals, but it is also an existence of extremely great significance in his life. As for all this, we have to start from that winter a few years ago:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMuEn0Az9
A few years ago, Helionyx finished his hunt and was heading home. Today, he caught nothing. The reason was that the prey in front of him was unfortunately snatched away by Nanuqsaurus who came out halfway. Face the sudden appearance of furry and rather hardy predators like Nanuqsaurus. Except for the stag who was still demonstrating against the murderer of his mate, all the other targets that could escape had already fled, and there was nothing left to catch.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFUaEilX5u
However, for Helionyx, not catching any prey is just a small matter. On the way back, he had no time to pay attention to the bodies of the nearby soldiers of Kindred of the Tusk who had died in battle and were almost buried in the heavy snow, let alone Troodon who was driven away because of his arrival. What really caught his attention was the Woolly mammoth group that suddenly appeared in front of him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6VRpjuxcg
This herd of mammoths migrating for food did not have much time to pay much attention to this short nomadic hunter who often moved alone. At most, they just glanced at him lightly and didn't pay much attention. There are no unnecessary actions. Only the female at the back, whose right tooth was obviously broken and covered in scars, called out to him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslsBfhPw8X
Helionyx knew the scarred female. Thanks to the fact that he had personally treated the female when she was injured in an accident. Otherwise, she wouldn't call him because she still remembered that he once saved her life; and in order to respond to her call, the only thing he could do was to gently put his hand on her nose.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2JiKfWHRB
"Healing well, I see. Good, good."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMeoQ5Ddbf
He looked at the injuries on her nose and eye sockets. Although the scars were still clearly visible, they were generally healed and not serious, and there were no signs of infection. Just when he was feeling completely relieved, he heard another call with a sharper tone, not as deep and powerful as the female, but also coming from mammoth.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO3FWfqwrc
Upon closer inspection, the source of the chirping is a mammoth cub that may be just one year old. It was approaching the female at a very fast speed, and even raised its long nose and placed it on the female's left tusk. This shows that this baby mammoth is her child; as the mother of the baby mammoth, the female also used her long trunk to gently caress her baby, which lagged behind several times, but finally caught up with the group.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZlBami69
Helionyx curled his lips slightly, thankful that mother and son could meet again; but then the mother lowered the tip of her nose on his right side and swung it from side to side as if stroking something. In just a moment, he immediately understood what she wanted to express at this time: where was his child go? Why didn't he show up with him this time? Is he still okay?
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk21NjHwTPQ
"No, he’s gone."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaUEcS32Pu
Helionyx, who said this slowly, seemed calm and calm on the outside, but sad and sad on the inside. The reason was that his son was killed more than half a year ago, and there was nothing left at the scene except an empty sheath with a missing sword blade and stained red with blood, not to mention his son's body...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrnzg1drOR
Even then, Helionyx still believed that his son was most likely killed by an unknown beast. In order to solve the mystery of his son's death, he spent weeks and even months tracking possible potential murderers as if he was wasting time, even though he actually did not blame them from the bottom of his heart...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFxbHRLGO5
Yes, he didn't blame them, because they are just animals, animals acting on instinct. They are just like him as a hunter, they are killing in order to survive, and they are just doing a normal thing between each other. Not to mention the beast, Nanuqsaurus who snatched his prey a while ago was no exception.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RqCJ00wKM
The weather will get colder and colder, and it's time to leave here and find an easier place; but now the wild land of Sauria has become very different from before because of the dispute between BlueSong and Kindred of the Tusk. Seeing this group of BlueSong soldiers riding Parasaurolophus to patrol the territory, Helionyx decided to avoid them and find another way.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7B1SatWQr
With a click, Helionyx's arrow once again landed on the dead wood near the Megaloceros group. The result is that the herd instinctively senses the approaching crisis and flees one after another.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTdLe79SVo
In the past, with Helionyx's strength and background, as long as Nanuqsaurus or other predators didn't come out to disrupt the situation like last time, he could successfully capture the current prey; but the reason why he failed this time was because of his inner confusion:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6pEKO6BW3
What is he trying to do for? Not only did he no longer feel any hunger, he also no longer felt any other shocks from the outside; and what led to this phenomenon?
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWspVkmF67W
If you want to answer this question, maybe it is because as a father, he is still worried about his son who is still missing. Even if the possibility of survival is slim, he at least wants to let him see the body. But the problem is that from the time he started searching until now, he hasn't found even a single clue. What's going on? Regardless of whether his son is alive or dead, the most important thing is where is his child?
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSnNYHp9QM
With this in mind, just as he was returning without success as usual this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faraway cave opposite his home, about hundreds of kilometers away, which looked like some extremely old and ancient ruins. At this moment, he couldn't help but rekindle a glimmer of hope in his heart:
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9dEoBoxpz
What if his knowledge up to now is wrong and his son is actually still alive, but just hiding in that cave? Does this indirectly explain that he has been unable to find his son's body?
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe7qVDidqN
If this is true, no matter what, then he has no reason not to explore the truth. Let's see him take off all the bows and arrows on his body, leaving only the blood-soaked empty sheath, and start heading towards his destination...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9eLCE60bu
That day, a snowstorm has coming. The wild land of Sauria suddenly turned into a world of snow and wind. With the howling wind and heavy snowfall, it is not an easy task to find something that is not yet known to exist in this cold area; but even with the white snowflakes and the fierce impact of the violent storm, Helionyx did not back down. A loving father's love for his child leads him into unknown situations.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29FD4BxGhh
Suddenly, a familiar beast roared, drowning out the sound of the storm that echoed in his ears. Helionyx followed the sound and found that it was a group of mammoths also covered in snowflakes. For some reason they all came together. Even their cry sounded a little unusual, it was more like... a wail.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EUtelw41d
Watch this herd of mammoths stick out their trunks towards the motionless object, almost covered in snow, in the snow. If you look closely, you will see that it is a mammoth cub, and it is the child of the mother whose tusks were broken!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKs8nTEqnb
It's a pity that the child was young and could not survive this harsh winter. But on the other hand, at least all the struggles and conflicts for survival are over. Perhaps for this cub, death is the happiest thing. Soon, these adult mammoths, including mothers who have lost their children, will have no choice but to abandon their dead children and leave; and the body of this cub will also be completely buried by heavy snow...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGRtOwBFFQ
The female mammoth glanced around and found that Helionyx had also witnessed the death of her child nearby, because she knew that the father in front of her had lost his son for a long time. Now she watched her child freeze to death in front of her eyes. Both of them had gone through the same tragic experience, so she stuck her nose towards him, hoping to get the last bit of comfort...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2P1NViiqV
"No, madam, I still have to confirm the whereabouts of my son. I am sorry for your loss."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQcTcodMZ
Helionyx ignored the female mammoth and walked forward, letting the grieving mother cast doubtful eyes on him until his traces were finally covered by the heavy blizzard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEZdCtTc6p
After a lot of hard work, Helionyx finally arrived at the entrance of the ancient monument - recalling that he had looked at its scenery from his home in the distance many times, but this was the first time he had such a close contact with it. He looked up at the large wooden sculpture standing at the entrance. It looked very much like a race of people evolved from the Pterosaur. Perhaps this place had once been a tribe of those Pterosaur people.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLf0X1rJo
Helionyx glanced at the entrance again. No matter how dilapidated the scene here is, if there are other Saurians here, even if his child is unfortunately attacked by a beast, as long as he hides here and is lucky enough to be taken in and taken care of by the other Saurian, The chance of survival is also higher. With this idea in mind, he walked more firmly into the dark cave...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUSV6aqKVC
This is a natural rock cave with rough and deep walls, a flat floor, and a few crystal-like objects emitting a light green halo in the corners. In the innermost part of the cave, there is a rectangular door frame that looks like an arch. There are even three steps below the door for people to walk on. Although this seems a bit out of place with the surrounding cave scenery; from what Helionyx has seen, this seems to be more proof that there are other highly intelligent creatures living here.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWTH4YFlZ9
But to be honest, it is too early to draw this conclusion. First of all, Helionyx didn't know why he smelled a strong smell of blood here; secondly, he heard a series of roars coming from deep inside the door. The sounds were completely different from those of mammoths, but belonged to another ferocious beast. Not long after, a large cat with long tusks slowly emerged from the dark cave.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nLysywFW
It turned out to be Smilodon. Not only was this predator larger than other predators of its kind, but it also had more scars on its body, indicating that it was very old. But for this strange creature of unknown origin that can walk on two hind legs, it remains alert and full of hostility, occasionally letting out threatening roars. This cave is obviously its territory.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE33xTMMGU
On the other hand, even though the person who came out to greet Helionyx was not the "Pterosaurian" or other such creature as he originally imagined, Helionyx still thought that this Smilodon was a guard beast tamed by the "Pterosaurian" who lived here. Just like the principle of courtesy before fighting, he knelt down abruptly and showed the empty sheath he had been holding in his hand, indicating that he was here to find someone and hoped to get help from the owner of this place; and the Smilodon was also attracted by his actions. Looking a little confused, it decided to observe first and not take action for the time being.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NQwAZJrkL
As Smilodon paced back and forth, Helionyx also noticed something unusual about its movements. In other words, he also heard the beast occasionally making slightly weird sounds when it was walking. It seemed that liquid objects often fell from its body, so when he opened his eyes, he saw the beast in front of him walking with blood dripping from it; the source of the blood was the left side of its neck. A short knife with only the handle exposed was inserted into the wound...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlh1wPtamz
Helionyx's eyes widened instinctively: The short knife stuck in Smilodon's body must be a personal belonging of his family from the appearance and characteristics of the handle; secondly, if it weren't for his son being attacked by this beast, he would use that knife to defend himself against the enemy, otherwise, how should he explain the current situation? The conclusion is clear: it is the murderer of his son!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTXrOoickx
There is no doubt that as a loving father, knowing the true feelings and reasons for the death of his beloved son is extremely difficult to bear. Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in his chest. He supported his heavy body with angry strength. Without any hesitation, he vowed to fight the predators in front of him and avenge his unfortunate son!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawnC5iE1a
Listen to the unbearable Helionyx, angrily howling at the enemy who killed his son; and Smilodon in front of him did not show any weakness and immediately launched an attack!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXmIW0xOBp
Helionyx dodges quickly and nimbly against rapid enemy attacks; but as a powerful and experienced predator, this beast is clearly superior. When it turned around, it extended its claws, leaving bright red claw marks on the unsuspecting Helionyx's face!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGwOafrPsE
At this time, Helionyx really regretted it - if he hadn't still had a glimmer of hope for his son's survival, but didn't expect that he would be in this situation, otherwise he shouldn't have thrown away his bow and arrow before setting off. So now he had to fight this bloodthirsty beast with his bare hands in a life-and-death struggle with unknown outcome...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rSey5iZdK
Wait! That knife! Doesn't he still have the short knife left by his son? As long as he pulls it off, he will have an absolute chance of winning!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgicsRoHaUL
This kid is also good, even though he struggled a lot, he eventually became the predator's meal; but he was still able to save his father with the knife he left behind during his lifetime. Got it! Helionyx endured the pain caused by the claw wound on his face and ran towards the target without saying a word, preparing to take the knife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqplG6coUb
But things are not that simple. No matter what his current motivation is, the enemy cleverly prevents him from having any chance to succeed. It dodges instantly, turns around and confronts him again, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoZ4ZlOkAh
This beast is not only very powerful, but also quite clever. Helionyx was thinking, covering the claw wounds on his face with his hands, thinking about what he should do next...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5iklfTHIT
"Come on, come on, come on… COME ON!"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQIsVKPr3x
Just as the prey is smart, the hunter must also be smarter. Then Helionyx had an idea. Since he can't catch it, let it fall to him, that’s the only chance. To do this, he stopped bending his knees and looked like he was facing his target. Instead, he straightened his back leisurely, stretched his hands to the left and right, and waited for the enemy in front of him to arrive...
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwFjPLo8Q5
Even though the enemy was stunned by the target's movements for a moment, the final priority was to kill the target. Therefore, it swooped towards Helionyx unceremoniously, pressing him down three meters away, showing its signature pair of long fangs, and prepared to make the same action as it was about to kill his son…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1GXENrWAe
Now do it!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF02QnhDmL
Helionyx opened his eyes wide and seized the golden opportunity. Before the enemy's fangs fell on him, he smoothly pulled out the short knife from the enemy's back and stabbed it immediately!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdzTTlsPQ7
The enemy howled in pain, but Helionyx showed no mercy, he turned over and counterattacked it to the ground, and then gave it a final blow. The blood splattered stained the nearby rock wall red.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsyPluFaNj
Helionyx put the bloody knife back into its empty sheath and threw it aside. At this moment, he should be happy that he had finally avenged his son; however, when he saw the enemy's screams and desperate gasps, he knew that its life would not be long. In an instant, he regretted it again…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBaJg8zyRm
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no… Please, I’m sorry, I don’t blame you. I don’t. No… I don’t blame you, please, please! Oh, no, no, no, no…"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yJD08YwWc
What a contradiction! He knew that even this Smilodon was just an animal fighting against nature for survival. Hunting, whether for it or for him, is a very common means of survival, and no one is right or wrong; but as a father of a child, when faced with his son being killed, he wanted to demanding justice and retribution, even the battle just now, was all out of self-defense instinct; however, he never expected that the prerequisite for achieving all this was to take the life of his opponent…
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPkvP95rpk
"Forgive me, mother, for this unneeded sin. Forgive me…"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoT76b8bFL
While Helionyx was reciting a prayer for his misdeeds, the cry of another unknown animal was heard behind him. He looked back and saw a weak kitten with no fangs coming out of the door frame. It seems to be very hungry, and it keeps making sharp and dry screams.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9BmXCyygt
That's a Smilodon cub! In this way, the murderer of his son was the mother of the cub!
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ780PM23xbH
"I swear, I’ll take care of him. He’ll be fine. I swear…"
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM25gPctykL
Even though the female Smilodon once killed his son, now she has paid a heavy price for all her hard work in order to survive and raise her children. Then, adopting her surviving son, whether for him or her, might be another kind of salvation he could do.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CkhIdDcP
After a while, the fatally injured female Smilodon didn't know that she couldn't hold on anymore, or she understood what Helionyx meant and understood that there was still hope of living after her child was handed over to him. So she, the mother, finally Reaching the end of her life, she no longer had to worry about raising her beloved son. As she took her last breath, her dilated pupils indicated that she had passed away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiORMtVBxeo
"Life and death, the everlasting helix… all as one."
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyRCN4apiE
Until now, under the careful care and guidance of Helionyx, the female Smilodon's young has become another well-trained predator. It often goes hunting and shares food with its owner, and has established an unprecedented bond and friendship with its owner. It is precisely because the two of them lost each other's sons and mothers that they were able to achieve this.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpui488a0MJ
In front of Helionyx's house, there are two tombstones. One of them belonged to his son; the other was reserved for his partner's mother. As usual, and just before he brought his partner to mourn at the tomb, another group of mammoths appeared in the distance, most likely the same group he had seen before. Among them, the female mammoth with broken tusk and scars was followed by several newborn cubs. Seeing this, Helionyx smiled knowingly and turned to touch his partner again.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6FprcGAW
Yes! As he said, life and death are not only two sides of the same coin, but also a spiral that goes back and forth forever. This is even truer in the world. Only complete destruction can lead to rebirth. After the cold and ruthless winter, the spring season will eventually return again, and everything will be more prosperous and richer than before. This is the circle of life in nature.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNW10E2RLf
Helionyx placed his hands on his partner, no longer worrying about the past. It is precisely because of the gloomy past that there will be a bright and beautiful present and even a future. In other words, they reached this point undoubtedly because of the winter weathered.
