The gorgonopsid's sabre-teeth wound the scutosaur.
麗齒獸用刀刃狀的牙齒咬傷盾甲龍，
The predator watches, as its prey grows weak from blood loss.
掠食動物看著獵物，因失血而變得衰弱，
But before it can make its final move, something strange happens.
它退后了，有怪事發生，
The ground gets hot.
地面越來越熱，
Enormous pressure builds beneath the surface, and lava spews into the air.
地底鐵定有巨大的壓力，熔巖竄出，
But the lava isn't from one single volcano, the entire landscape is erupting.
然而這并非單一火山，整片大地都在噴發，
It's a flood basalt eruption.
這是洪流玄武巖噴發，
A massive plume of mantle rises up from deep inside the Earth,
巨大地函熱柱從地球深處升起，
and pushes molten rock out through fissures in the Earth's crust.
從地殼縫隙把熔巖推出來，
The lush paradise is now a lifeless hell.
蓊郁天堂變成死寂地獄，
The scutosaurs and the gorgonopsids are dead.
盾甲龍與麗齒獸已死，
They're the first casualties in the greatest mass extinction the world has ever seen, the Permian Extinction.
它們率先死于地球史上規模最大的大滅絕，即二疊紀大滅絕。
