It is recorded in the book that the Cretaceous era was the period when the largest dinosaurs appeared, and it was also a period when species were particularly rich. For example, the earliest giant pythons, moths, bees, etc. also appeared in this era.

But many people questioned whether the largest species in the Cretaceous era was really dinosaurs?

Zhuang Yu has always scoffed at these doubts. As a lost lover of ancient civilizations and the youngest doctor in the Department of Archaeology, Zhuang Yu has always treated such nonsense as a joke.

Only now, he showed a puzzled expression to a photo on his mobile phone.

In the photo, it should be a mountain peak, but the mountain peak has a fault for some reason, exposing the rock layer inside.

The rock layers are clearly identifiable, and the entire mountain is a living fossil with a huge skeleton, far larger than the largest known dinosaur, and its shape is not the shape of a known dinosaur.

"Da Yu, have you seen it? This is definitely the greatest discovery in the archaeological world so far. It will subvert the cognition of the entire world, and archaeology will enter a new era." Zhuang Yu could feel each other's excitement.

It was his classmate and partner Zhao Lei who sent him the message. This partner would never joke about the rigorous discipline of archaeology.

Zhuang Yu is also a little excited. If this discovery is true, I am afraid that the whole world will start to study the origin of life again.

Zhuang Yu quickly replied with his mobile phone, "Where is the location?"

"Thirty kilometers outside the China-Myanmar border, in an undeveloped mountain."

...

A few days later, Zhuang Yu finally stood in front of the mountain in the photo. In the last 30 kilometers, because of the inconvenience of transportation, he walked in with a suitcase, even for archaeologists who often climb mountains and waters. Personnel, this is not an easy task.

The mountain at this time is a little different from the one in the photo. A lot of shelves were built against the mountain, and professionals removed the excess stone on it, revealing the true face of this huge living fossil.

"Da Yu, how do you feel? Is there a shocking feeling of being in close contact with the ancient behemoths? We will be the witnesses of the oldest era." Zhao Lei said excitedly.

However, Zhuang Yu did not answer, but was full of shock and doubts, because on the back of this giant beast fossil, some simple and backward living and architectural traces could be vaguely seen, but how is this possible? What intelligent creature could live on the back of a giant beast and build a simple building?

Zhao Lei also showed a puzzled expression on his face, "Perhaps after this giant beast turned into a mountain, the ancient humans lived on it as a real mountain. We sent the stones here for testing, and they are definitely chalk. Fossils from the epoch, when humans didn’t even exist.”

Only in this way can it be explained why there are traces of intelligent creatures living on the back of a giant beast.

But Zhuang Yu frowned, "Leizi, I don't know why, I seem to have a sense of familiarity with these."

Zhao Lei was stunned, "Da Yu, are you too tired to travel and hallucinating?"

Zhuang Yu also shook his head amusingly, and didn't say anything anymore, but he was really weird in his heart.

Maybe he was really tired from the journey. Zhuang Yu rubbed his tired body and found a tent to rest. When he woke up, it was already night.

Zhuang Yu was awakened, and he finally knew why he felt inexplicably familiar.

He was so excited that he opened his suitcase, rummaged for a while, and finally found a yellowed thread-bound ancient book at the bottom of the suitcase.

This is a "Dao Zang", but it is different from the popular "Dao Zang" now. It is very old. This book was given to him by the old master of a Taoist temple in the mountains when he was a child when he was living in his hometown in the countryside. .

The reason why it is different from the current "Dao Zang" is because it has many illustrations on it, maybe it just happens to be called "Dao Zang", two completely different books, these illustrations are Zhuang Yu's most fantasy memory when he was a child.

When grew up, realized how unrealistic these pictures were, and put the book at the bottom of the suitcase in a funny way, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for the old master.

But at this time, Zhuang Yu ran outside the tent with the book.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, because it was dark and silent, and everyone in the camp was asleep.

Zhuang Yu looked at the giant beast fossil in front of him, and the traces of ancient living buildings on the back of the giant beast fossil. His hands trembled as he turned the page of the ancient book.

On the illustration on the page, it is a giant beast with a human race living on its back. The skeleton of this giant beast is exactly the same as the giant beast fossil in front of you no matter how you look at it.

No wonder Zhuang Yu felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this giant beast fossil, which he read countless times in books when he was a child.

Zhuang Yu's mood couldn't be further increased, and now he really wanted to find someone to share his excitement at this time, but in the dead of night, it was not easy to disturb others.

After a while, after trying to calm down, the doubts in my heart became more and more. If this painting is real, does it mean that someone knew and recorded it in the form of painting a long time ago. In the distant Cretaceous period There were giant beasts bigger than dinosaurs in the era, and at that time, human beings already existed and lived on the backs of giant beasts.

Also, if this painting is real, what about the other illustrators of this book?

Zhuang Yu turned to the next page, it was an old man riding a green bull, the old man was very small, but the green bull he sat on was extremely huge.

If it was before, he would feel that the proportions of this illustration were too unrealistic, but if the green cow itself was this big...

Turning to the next page, a huge sea turtle with no friends, a woman holding colorful stones in her hands, facing the sky...

The more Zhuang Yu looked, the more excited he became. Everything was so mysterious. This was definitely a lost ancient civilization.

In the dead of night, everything was dead silent, only Zhuang Yu's mood was agitated like the most turbulent waves, and his hand unconsciously touched the stone wall of the mountain in front of him.

Just as he touched it, the yellowish ancient book on his hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

Zhuang Yu was stunned, because a huge beast roar suddenly came from the mountain in front of him.

Zhuang Yu didn't even know what was going on when he heard an urgent shout, it was Lei Zi's voice, "Da Yu, be careful."

What?

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw that the entire mountain roaring seemed to be looking down at him, but it was just a living fossil. The result of this bowing was that the entire mountain began to collapse.

Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat, it was over, not because he was sighing that his life was about to end, but... such a major discovery was so ruined, what evidence did Leizi and the others use to prove that this human being lived on the back of a giant beast? With the existence of the century, this beast roar might also be mistaken for a buzzing sound like an earthquake.

This was Zhuang Yu's last thought, and then he fell into endless darkness.

...

Darkness, don't know how long it lasted.

When Zhuang Yu opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the light shining in from outside.

Zhuang Yu rolled over and got up, and couldn't help being a little stunned. Wasn't he crushed under the collapsed mountain? At that time, the chances of surviving were zero.

With the sunlight that came in, Zhuang Yu discovered a strange place again. It seemed to be a cave, and the walls were all marked by artificial gouges.

There are still a lot of things stacked in the cave, including some sundries, worn animal skins, water containers made of half a shell, bone knives made of bones, and some dry wood.

Everything shows that there are traces of people living here, but who would live in such a primitive cave, and why would they appear here again?

With doubts, Zhuang Yu stood up and walked towards the light position outside the cave.

Maybe it was because he stayed in the dark place for too long, Zhuang Yu half-squinted his eyes unconsciously when he came into contact with the sunlight.

Even so, his pupils shrank in horror.

Know what he saw?

An incomparably gigantic giant python stuck its huge head in the hole, spitting out scarlet letters, and its erect eyes were full of bloodthirsty coldness. Zhuang Yu could smell the stench from the giant python's mouth. The most surprising thing was that on the flat head of the giant python, there was a rough man with a stone gun.

Shocked and unbelievable occupied Zhuang Yu's entire mind. How could it be like a picture in a myth?

But if you look closely, there is still a big difference from the myth. This big man has bare feet and a skin around his waist. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a backward and primitive savage.

The big man looked ferocious and spoke in a very fierce tone, "Why didn't you pick up today's berries, even if you starve to death, you will die in your original tribe, don't cause us any trouble."

The words of the big man's speech were very brief and powerful, very unfamiliar, but the strange thing was that Zhuang Yu actually... understood.

The big man was a little impatient, "The trash who doesn't even have a giant beast, looks ugly, and wants to rely on our young patriarch, it is also thanks to our Golden Centipede Department that we are friendly with your Mizusawa Department, if other tribes, you would be so incompetent. The guy who had a lot of trouble broke his leg and threw it out."

No behemoths? Ugly looking?

Zhuang Yu didn't understand at all, but some strange memories emerged in his mind.

The giant beast is the giant python at the feet of the big man in front of him. Having his own giant beast is a symbol of strength. Zhuang Yu does not have it, so the big man calls him a waste.

As for being ugly, the face of a little milk dog appeared in Zhuang Yu's mind.

It's not ugly, is it?

But the memory in my head immediately refuted it. It is really ugly, because it looks good because it looks very rough. It is better to have a few scars on the face to be more perfect. Here, the little milk dog's face is Not popular, even the weakest woman can't look down on it, very peculiar aesthetic.

No wonder the big man said that he was so ugly and entangled with their young patriarch, and there were a lot of things to do.

Zhuang Yu shuddered. With the aesthetics he remembered now, how many scars were on the face of the young patriarch whom the big man said he kept pestering?

The big man also said that he came from the Mizusawa Department that they had friends with. Where was the Mizusawa Department?

My mind is full of doubts, who is he now?

What he can be sure of is that the place he is in must not be his original world. In his original world, no one can stand on the head of such a huge python.

Zhuang Yu's current situation is very strange. Once others say something, some memories will passively appear in his mind.

That is to say, he can't think of anything else without mentioning it.

The big man saw that Zhuang Yu was actually frightened by his giant beast. Knowing, stay with them shamelessly, the big man scolded, "Remember to pick up the berries, don't starve to death with us."

Then the python turned around and swam into the distance.

Zhuang Yu just regained his senses, that is to say, this is not his original tribe. That's fine. At least no one can see anything unusual about him, so he has to stay here for the time being until he understands the situation clearly. It's just that this Golden Centipede Department seems to hate him very much. If he is still relying on him like this, he will definitely be misunderstood as a shameless entanglement for their young patriarch.

Zhuang Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, maybe as long as he didn't bother about the young patriarch who might have scars all over his face, and kept a low profile, judging from the current situation, he could still stay here stably.

Zhuang Yu thought about it this way, the light outside the cave was abundant, and when he looked down, he saw that he had bare feet and an old animal skin around his waist, just like a primitive man. Zhuang Yu turned out to be a good sports student in that world.

"Gugu." At this moment, Zhuang Yu's stomach made a gurgling sound.

Zhuang Yu touched his stomach. He just woke up from the cave, and he probably woke up from hunger.

The big man said that if there are any berries to take, he should fill his stomach first, and then try to understand the current situation.

But when Zhuang Yu raised his head, he was stunned again. Just now, the giant python was blocking the entrance of the hole, so he couldn't see the outside environment at all.

Was the giant python just now that big? Big, but nothing compared to the scene in front of him.

In front of me, the sky and the earth are vast, endless mountain ranges are connected together, winding up and down, a majestic and magnificent breath blowing towards the face, between the mountains, a huge golden centipede is entrenched in it, like a big and long. The train, the train exudes a metallic luster in the sun, with a scorching figure on its back, and a whole human race lives on it.

If you look at it from the sky, it is like a golden silk ribbon, dotted between the barbaric and desolate mountains.

At this moment, the huge golden centipede was leisurely nibbling at the ore on a mountain peak, and the crunching sound could be heard from far away.

Zhuang Yu looked at this "train" with hundreds of carriages, and finally knew, in Dahankou, why this place is called the Golden Centipede, this is a tribe living on the back of a giant centipede.
