When Yang Li got closer, the giant-veined dragonfly had stopped moving, but judging from the thin wings slowly lying on the ground, it seemed that it had just died...
This giant-veined dragonfly just died!!!
Everyone's minds were buzzing for a while, and they couldn't turn around for a long time.
This discovery is so amazing!
Yang Li had already learned from Su Tianyang about the frozen ancient centipede. The 300-million-year-old Carboniferous creature had been preserved and survived due to the special way of being frozen.
This was already very incredible, but what he discovered now was completely different in nature!
Ancient centipedes survived by being frozen. Although this is a bit outrageous, it can still be explained based on scientific evidence...
And humans are also conducting research and preliminary practices in this area.
The ancient centipede discovered by Su Tianyang was less than one meter long, which was far from the recorded 2.6 meters.
The current ice abyss, although the temperature is very low, is surprisingly dry.
Maybe it's because it's too deep and not much ice and snow can be seen. It's basically a black-gray stone with a certain luster that reflects light when illuminated by a flashlight and is very hard.
Therefore, this also shows that the survival method of giant-veined dragonflies is very unlikely to be frozen.
And so far, the sizes of giant-veined dragonflies discovered are almost consistent with those in archaeological records.
This makes absolutely no sense.
How the giant-veined dragonfly could grow to such a huge size during the Carboniferous Period has always been the focus of discussion.
Because the way oxygen diffuses into an insect's body through its trachea limits its size, this prehistoric insect exceeded that limit.
It was initially suggested that the giant-veined dragonfly was able to fly because there was 20% more oxygen in the atmosphere than usual at that time. This theory was not accepted at first, but research on the relationship between macrosomia and availability of oxygen has confirmed this statement.
If this theory is correct, the extinction of giant-veined dragonflies may have been caused by a drop in oxygen levels, and it is certain that they cannot survive in today's environment.
If this theory is correct, it can explain something now.
The giant-veined dragonfly has evolved while maintaining its body shape!
evolution?!
…
Judging from what was discovered at Yunkou.
In a certain period a long time ago, it may not necessarily be the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago, it may also be.
In short, some intelligent creature wanted to kill or imprison all the giant-veined dragonflies, but in the end, the giant-veined dragonfly broke through a hole and escaped into this ice abyss.
So it also proves that this ice abyss existed at least during that period?
Yang Li, who was tall and powerful, felt chills running down his back at this time. The more he thought about it, the more uncertain he became.
In the past, when I went to the Tomb of the Dead, I was not so timid when faced with various agencies, but now I don’t dare to move forward!
Could this be a deterrent from ancient times...
After a while, Yang Li finally made a decision and said: "Pack up the wreckage and this body and take them away. Let's retreat!"
Seeing the truth right in front of his eyes, Yang Li chose to retreat.
According to archaeological research records, the giant dragonfly was a king-level giant insect during the Carboniferous Period.
Not to mention their large number, their individual strength alone is terrifying enough.
With a wingspan of 75 centimeters, it is the largest insect species known to have ever appeared on Earth.
Scientists believe they mainly ate other flying and crawling insects, and even some smaller early amphibians (animals that had just begun to migrate from the sea to land).
There is no basis to determine their true lethality, but now Yang Li cannot let the people below him take risks.
The unknown coefficient for these things is too high.
For example, the giant-veined dragonfly that died just now had three pairs of hard giant jaws on its mouth. It is not difficult to imagine that if you stretched out your hand, this guy would definitely be able to bite off an adult's wrist in minutes.
And this thing can also fly!
Who knows if they have evolved other dangerous things during their evolution?
So retreating temporarily is the best way.
Only when you come back with enough armor and firepower can you have a chance to compete with these prehistoric creatures!
Next, Yang Li led people to leave in a hurry.
However, a strange wind blew up at the bottom of the abyss for no apparent reason.
What Yang Li and the others didn't know was that the initiator of this wind was none other than the giant-veined dragonfly hidden in the deepest part of the ice abyss...
Their wings are flapping rapidly...
…
In Tianqing City, Su Mu and Jiang Wan were happily enjoying fried chicken.
As for the promised guild plan...
Hmm... Let's talk about it after eating. This fried chicken is so delicious.
"You like chicken very much..., right?"
"Yeah! So you have become a stumbling block on my way to lose weight."
"Then I'll eat the chicken legs myself."
"Put it down! Who said I won't eat?"
Jiang Wan looks aloof, but she is usually a literary girl, reading books and newspapers every day.
But in front of delicious food, I still became a silly and cute foodie every minute.
Su Mu glanced at Jiang Wan, she has small arms and legs, is she still losing weight?
So out of good intentions, Su Mu reminded: "If you still lose weight like this, don't reduce C to A, that would be a pity."
Jiang Wan, who knew Su Mu was glib, did not take over the conversation, but changed her words and said, "Scumbag, what do you know? I'm practicing my vest line."
"Vest line? Let me take a look?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows, this thing is great, so exciting!
Jiang Wan wrinkled her nose at Su Mu and said, "What a beautiful idea, I won't show it to you!"
Fried chicken and beer, under the influence of alcohol, the two of them chatted more and more...
Not long after, Dark God sent a rescue message in the V-mail group.
The content is: The Dark God fell in love with a girl, and the girl became pregnant, but it is not sure whether she is the Dark God's...
Then this girl came up with an unprecedented point of view: It doesn't matter whether they are biological or not, as long as neither of them talks about it, if the child is born and the first thing he sees is a dark god, isn't he the biological father?
What's even more exaggerated is that Anshen thinks what the girl said makes sense! Then he comes to the group to ask other people's opinions. If they all think it's okay, then he will accept the fact that he wants to be a father.
Everyone has to give red envelopes.
Su Mu and Jiang Wan had not expressed their opinions yet, but the God of Death, who was still asleep, made an opinion first.
“Brother, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to put a Mercedes-Benz logo on the head of a BMW, right?”
Dark God: "What's inappropriate about this? As long as the car can drive."
God of Death: "Do you like this car that much?"
Dark God: "I like it, especially when she wears her double ponytails, it looks very comfortable to drive."
???
Su Mu was stunned.
In this aspect, I still have to admire the Dark God.
The name of this guy’s V-letter is called Crazy Rich Man. Last time he said he had found a model to celebrate, and he even found two models at once! Tonight, we were discussing pregnancy and car skills.
So beautiful...
I'm really afraid that the brake pads have all been removed.
Su Mu looked at Jiang Wan and suddenly realized that when Jiang Wan was eating fried chicken just now, she had tied her hair into a ponytail to prevent it from getting in the way...
So, Su Mu asked in the group: "Well, Bashi with double ponytails, what about the one with single ponytails?"
Dark God: "Yes! It's just that the force-receiving skills are different. You need to master your balance!"
