The gorgonopsid's sabre-teeth wound the scutosaur.
丽齿兽用刀刃状的牙齿咬伤盾甲龙，
The predator watches, as its prey grows weak from blood loss.
掠食动物看着猎物，因失血而变得衰弱，
But before it can make its final move, something strange happens.
它退后了，有怪事发生，
The ground gets hot.
地面越来越热，
Enormous pressure builds beneath the surface, and lava spews into the air.
地底铁定有巨大的压力，熔岩窜出，
But the lava isn't from one single volcano, the entire landscape is erupting.
然而这并非单一火山，整片大地都在喷发，
It's a flood basalt eruption.
这是洪流玄武岩喷发，
A massive plume of mantle rises up from deep inside the Earth,
巨大地函热柱从地球深处升起，
and pushes molten rock out through fissures in the Earth's crust.
从地壳缝隙把熔岩推出来，
The lush paradise is now a lifeless hell.
蓊郁天堂变成死寂地狱，
The scutosaurs and the gorgonopsids are dead.
盾甲龙与丽齿兽已死，
They're the first casualties in the greatest mass extinction the world has ever seen, the Permian Extinction.
它们率先死于地球史上规模最大的大灭绝，即二叠纪大灭绝。
