Chapter 177 Tyrannosaurus Rex (I)

With Yu Yiyun's experience and his understanding of the 'garbage system', the hidden mission must be not simple, and the goal he set for himself was to do whatever he wanted.

The simpler the task, the more difficult it is to perform.

Could it be possible that he could develop from the embryo?

Or, except for you, all the other companions in your family have been eaten?

Yu Yiyun's mind raced, imagining all sorts of terrible possibilities.

I never expected that I was still too naive.

When he regained consciousness, Yu Yiyun first felt the scorching temperature, which was roughly equivalent to the hot summer in Africa.

Yu Yiyun, who had just been catching rabbits in the Arctic, found it difficult to adapt to the extreme temperature changes for a while and subconsciously hid in the shade.

After opening his eyes, Yu Yiyun discovered that the shade that was blocking his view was a towering tree several dozen meters high.

The soil in the Arctic is hard, the temperature is low, and plants grow slowly.

It is difficult for seeds to even germinate, let alone grow into towering trees?

The short trees in the Arctic tundra take decades or even hundreds of years to grow.

It has been determined that this is not the North Pole.

Having gone through so many missions, Yu Yiyun has extremely rich experience in the wild.

He was not at all panicked. He skillfully raised his big head to observe the surrounding environment, trying to determine which continent he was exiled to by the distribution of vegetation.

First look at the sky, then at the ground, and finally at the soil at your feet.

Oops, oops.

Professor Yu's academic status is under threat.

In the past, no matter where he went, he could judge where he was, the distribution of surrounding animals and plants, and the country he belonged to based on the climate and vegetation distribution, as well as his advantage of good geography even though his sense of direction was not very good.

At this moment, Yu Yiyun was shocked to find that

I don’t even recognize the tree above my head?!

Not only the trees were strange, but even the flowers and plants were very strange.

Yu Yiyun lowered his heavy head, looked at the lush vegetation, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Could it be that I didn’t learn geography well, I didn’t learn biology well either? !

That shouldn’t be the case. Biology is Yu Yiyun’s major.

He shook his long neck slowly, trying to calm himself down and start analyzing rationally.

You know, human exploration of the earth is still ongoing, and there are still many uninhabited places that retain their original mysteries.

The land before us was densely wooded and rich in plant species, and it was obvious that it had not been the result of human intervention.

As far as Yu Yiyun knows, the most intact jungle on Earth at this stage should be the tropical rainforest.

The tropical rainforest, known as the lungs of the earth, has too many unknown creatures waiting to be explored.

It is not surprising that Yu Yiyun's research scope is limited to Asian mammals, so she is unfamiliar with the vegetation in tropical rainforests.

Professor Yu tried hard to make excuses for himself, and finally found a reasonable explanation, trying hard to convince himself.

He raised his head again...

Wait, that’s not right!

Although Yu Yiyun did not know much about the plants in the rainforest, he had learned about the climate of the rainforest.

Tropical rainforest climate, high temperatures throughout the year, even and abundant rainfall, and a relatively monotonous climate.

There are many kinds of rainforest plants and the layers are extremely complex.

If the vegetation in other areas is distributed horizontally, then the plants in tropical rainforests are mostly distributed vertically.

The huge trees that block out the sun block too much sunlight. In order to get sunlight, the plants fight silently, entangled with each other and compete for living space.

From a distance, it looks like a green wall, giving animals no chance to see the sun at all.

Yu Yiyun raised her head blankly again and looked at the clear sky without any cover. There seemed to be no sign of rain in the short term.

Yu Yiyun, who had spent all her life studying but still couldn't figure out where she was exiled to, temporarily put aside her doubts and began to think about the second question -

What am I?

From the beginning, Yu Yiyun felt that his head was extremely heavy, at least several dozen kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms.

Such a heavy head does not put any burden on the neck and I don’t feel heavy.

Looking at the entire Blue Star Continent, perhaps only elephants can do this.

But an elephant’s neck is short, almost equivalent to nothing when rounded off. Yu Yiyun now has a neck as long as a giraffe’s.

He twisted his butt slightly, and his tail, which was thicker than a telephone pole, swung slowly.

What the hell am I?

Yu Yiyun questioned herself for the second time, slowly lowered her head, and examined her paws, which were extremely disproportionate to her body and estimated to be only about 60 or 70 centimeters long.

Animals with such short hands are rare throughout history.

Three words came to his mind.

Quickly denied again.

How is that possible?

That thing has been extinct for 65 million years...

“Buzz——”

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the sun was briefly obscured for a moment.

Yu Yijun raised his head and saw a huge creature with both claws and wings, with a wingspan of definitely more than 10 meters, flying by.

“…”

Yu Yiyun was petrified.

According to his superficial understanding of the earth, animals that can fly into the sky by flapping their wings mainly include bats, insects and birds.

Birds are able to soar into the sky by using their feathers to ride on rising air currents.

But not all birds can fly. For example, ostriches and penguins, once their weight exceeds 100 kilograms, it is difficult for them to use their wings to support their heavy bodies.

In Yu Yiyun's inherent understanding, the eagle is already the animal that dominates the sky.

At this moment, the huge creature above his head, with a wingspan of more than ten meters and a weight of definitely more than 100 kilograms, instantly refreshed Yu Yiyun's cognition.

At the same time, the idea that had just been denied in Yu Yiyun's mind was activated again.

There are indeed not many animals throughout history with such short arms.

Since reptiles can fly in the sky, how could the king of the Cretaceous period, which appeared at the same time as them, be absent?

——Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The super Tyrannosaurus rex appeared in the late Cretaceous period and was one of the largest predators in the history of the Earth.

Before the emergence of human civilization, the blue planet had several waves of rulers, and dinosaurs were one of them.

Dinosaurs ruled the planet for about 160 million years, from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous.

During the Cretaceous period, the dinosaurs reached their heyday.

They are of various species and widely distributed, and traces of dinosaurs can be found on almost every continent.

At that time on Earth, no one could rival the dinosaurs.

The only things that can threaten dinosaurs are stronger dinosaurs.

And the Tyrannosaurus Rex is in an absolute dominant position in the combat system!

Yu Yiyun didn't expect that the garbage system was so powerful that it allowed him to get the experience card of prehistoric civilization.

It took him two minutes to finally accept the fact that he had turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and he waved his short front paws.

It was the first time for Yu Yiyun to be a reptile in his life, and he suffered from his old problem of not being able to control his tail.

The several-meter-long tail swung casually and hit the tree trunk heavily, causing the whole tree to shake violently.

A passing Quetzalcoatlus noticed the movement, tilted its body to change its flying direction, circled back to take another look, and saw a novice Tyrannosaurus Rex hiding under a big tree to enjoy the cool air.

The Cretaceous period is more than 60 million years away from the era that Yu Yiyun is familiar with, and the earth's environment is very different.

During this period, the Earth had more oxygen and plants and animals were generally larger.

Yu Yiyun was fully convinced that he was already a very powerful giant.

Until he raised his head and saw the Quetzalcoatl noticed him, with the greedy look of seeing its prey.

Yu Yiyun instantly realized that even though he had a big tail and a big head, he was still a cub.

Past experiences taught Yu Yiyun a lesson.

No matter how powerful an animal is, it will still be prey to other animals when it is a cub.

"Wow!" Save the dragon!

Yu Yiyun yelled at the top of her lungs, her sobs and howls could be heard from far away.

As the largest known land predator, Tyrannosaurus Rex has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Their front paws are short and thin and cannot support their huge bodies.

Coupled with its overly heavy body, the Tyrannosaurus Rex had great difficulty running, and its peak speed was only a little over ten kilometers.

Fortunately, in this era, there are only big guys who can’t run much.

If we change the version and teleport deer and cows that can run at speeds of 50 or 60 kilometers per hour, the Tyrannosaurus Rex will be driven around in circles.

In contrast, in order to control the sky, Quetzalcoatlus not only has an extremely long wingspan that can take advantage of rising air currents, but also has a streamlined body with minimal resistance, allowing it to fly at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary dinosaurs, with the fastest speed reaching hundreds of kilometers per hour.

It circled in the sky, judging the movement trajectory of the little Tyrannosaurus Rex, and swooped down towards him.

Yu Yiyun’s movements were even more clumsy than when she was a panda. She escaped the first attack with difficulty and cried even louder!

Although pterosaurs have the word "dragon" in their name, they are not dinosaurs. Instead, they are their distant relatives, and their fighting power is equally as powerful.

Yu Yiyun barely managed to save his life, using the terrain for cover while trying hard to think.

Since Quetzalcoatl flew back to the sky immediately after its attack failed, it can be concluded that it is not good at ground combat.

The Quetzalcoatlus was huge in size but light in weight, estimated to be less than 1/3 of Yu Yiyun's.

As long as it loses its speed advantage, Yu Yiyun can easily subdue the flying dragon.

Yu Yiyun has come into contact with countless birds and has been a bird herself, so she is familiar with the general patterns of birds attacking their prey.

When dealing with smaller prey, birds of prey will pick it up into the air.

If they encounter a prey that they cannot reach, they will use high-speed dives to inflict wounds on the prey, and consume the prey through repeated attacks.

Yu Yiyun avoided several attacks from the Wind God Pterosaur.

Seizing the opportunity, when it failed in its attack and was about to fly back into the sky, he hooked it with his short front paws.

Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex's front claws are short, they are the most flexible part of the body and have hooked nails at the tips.

After successfully hooking the wings of the Quetzalcoatlus, Yu Yijun opened his bloody mouth and roared, easily crushing the bones of the terrestrial plants.

The teeth of Tyrannosaurus Rex have a special structure. At their peak, they were more than 30 cm long and had serrated marks on the tip.

It can pierce the prey's body instantly, and can also be used to cut the prey.

At its peak, the bite force of Tyrannosaurus Rex could reach over 5 tons, ranking first among all known terrestrial animals.

With a sound of "crack", the wings of the Quetzalcoatlus were bitten to pieces and it could no longer fly.

It flapped its other wing, but it was of no use. It could only use its short claws to jump to avoid the little Tyrannosaurus Rex and prevent the big guy from sitting on it and killing it.

“Gah!”

"quack!"

When Yu Yiyun saw it using its thin legs to support its body and opening its sharp mouth to let out a high-pitched cry, an inappropriate but appropriate metaphor came to her mind:

Free range chicken.

We Pig Dragons have no experience in catching flying dragons, but we have a lot of experience in catching ground chickens.

He avoided the pointed beak of the Quetzalcoatlus, and when the opportunity arose, he bit its thin 'chicken neck'.

Before the Quetzalcoatl could call out for the third time, there was no further sound.

Yu Yiyun stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on the corner of his mouth.

Dinosaurs are worthy of being the rulers of the Cretaceous period. Their taste buds have evolved quite well and they can taste a richer range of flavors than cats and dogs.

After she ceased to be a human being, Yu Yiyun never experienced such healthy taste buds again.

He licked it twice more. The more he licked, the hungrier he became, so he simply lay on the Quetzalcoatlus and enjoyed his feast.

Human civilization is too far away from the dinosaur era, so the information is limited after all.

In addition, Yu Yiyun is not a scholar in this field and his knowledge is even more limited. He is unable to calculate how old he is now.

Fortunately, dinosaurs are reptiles.

Even newly hatched baby dragons have the ability to eat independently and don't have to whimper and beg for milk like a little piece of trash.

Yu Yijun was chewing the food enthusiastically when she heard earth-shaking footsteps from behind.

The pig dragon was startled and raised its head suddenly, fearing that the smell of its prey's blood would attract predators.

"Roar!" cub!

"Roar!" Baby!

Yu Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I couldn't understand it, the tone of voice used by parents calling their cubs was roughly the same.

"Wow~!" I'm here!

"Roar!" Baby, mommy is here!

When the big dinosaur heard the cub's voice, it immediately rushed over.

Except for not running fast, the rest of the functions of the Tyrannosaurus Rex are the same as the top plus version.

The structure of their eyes is similar to that of an eagle's eyes, which is equivalent to binoculars and can see things very far away.

Yu Yiyun saw from afar a dinosaur that was over ten meters long, with a big head and a long tail. It was roaring anxiously and walking slowly towards him.

Yu Yiyun instantly realized the difficulties of prehistoric life.

No matter how strong the parents are, at this speed, by the time they arrive at the scene, the cub will be dead.

Yu Yiyun changed direction at the same slow pace and waited for her mother to come over while eating.

The weather is clear and the air is fresh.

The closer the Tyrannosaurus Rex got, the clearer Yu Yiyun could see it.

Dinosaurs have been extinct for so long that people can only learn about them through fossils and use modern technology to restore their appearance when they were alive.

Due to limited conditions, the dinosaurs restored by technology still have a large element of fantasy.

Yu Yiyun carefully looked at the big dinosaur running towards her. Her body was covered with fine scales, which was equivalent to a layer of battle armor.

Some parts have been injured and the scales have fallen off but have not grown back yet.

Some scales have been rubbed for a long time, and the surface is shiny and glossy with colorful black.

The mother dragon has big eyes and her pupils are watery.

"Roar!" Baby!

Yu Yiyun swallowed the meat in his mouth and was about to respond when a few more dragons appeared behind him.

“Buzz!”

"roar!"

Yu Yiyun judged from their tone that they were probably calling her.

Early science fiction films often portrayed dinosaurs as solitary warriors.

As humans conduct research, more and more evidence shows that Tyrannosaurus dinosaurs were most likely social animals.

Humans once unearthed a large family of Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons somewhere.

The two dragons that appeared later had rough roars and seemed to be adult dragons, and their bodies were much larger than Yiyun.

Yu Yiyun finally confirmed that he was really a cub.

The two dragons came to Yu Yiyun and rubbed the little dragon.

Judging from their age and gender, they should all be my mother’s good sisters and Yu Yiyun’s aunts.

The pig dragon wagged its tail happily.

He likes beautiful aunt the most!

The two strong and fierce aunts were very concerned about Xiaolong and came over to check if he was injured.

After confirming that the little dragon was perfectly healthy, the aunts and uncles called out to each other, inviting their mother to go out foraging for food again.

Through their behavior, Yu Yiyun, who has rich experience in animal life, came to a general conclusion:

Male dragon, scumbag!

The male Tyrannosaurus Rex, like most beasts, only cares about himself and leaves all the tasks of hatching and raising cubs to the female Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The growth cycle of Tyrannosaurus Rex is similar to that of humans. The infancy period is relatively long, and those under 10 years old are considered children.

It takes a baby dragon ten years to grow to about 2/3 of the size of an adult dragon, which is equivalent to a 1.2-meter-tall human child.

It was not until he was fifteen that Xiaolong entered puberty and reached sexual maturity.

Yu Yiyun was a killer whale whose calf period was very long. Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, the parents will take care of the baby until it reaches adulthood.

Sure enough, the mother dragon was worried about her cubs who had just been attacked, and planned to take the little dragons hunting with her.

Thinking of the distress signal just sent by the cub, the mother dragon immediately became nervous and asked the little dragon what danger it had encountered.

Yu Yijun didn't understand, and happily shook her head, inviting her mother to share her first prey in her life.

The mother dragon looked over and saw the Quetzalcoatlus lying quietly there.

“…Roar.”…Baby, did you bite it to death?

The mother dragon looked at her cub again, feeling very surprised.

Quetzalcoatlus was a very fast flyer with a ferocious and cunning character, threatening all underage Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurus Rex couldn't run fast, and its huge body made it difficult to find hiding places.

Once you are targeted by the Quetzalcoatl, it is like the scythe of the god of death is on your neck.

Even if an adult dragon encounters such a difficult creature, there is no better way than to use its weight advantage to drive it away.

Tyrannosaurus Rex's main prey was other dinosaurs on land, and almost no dragon could catch Quetzalcoatlus.

Yu Yiyun tore off several large pieces of meat and fed them to her mother and two aunts in turn, happily telling them what had just happened.

"Wow!" Quetzalcoatlus is very easy to catch, all you need are claws!

The three female dragons had mixed feelings as they silently ate the meat given by their cubs.

An adult Tyrannosaurus Rex weighs several tons and has a fast metabolism. A mere small Ornithorhynchus cannot feed three adults and one child.

After eating the meat, the four dragons set out to look for food again.

Tyrannosaurus Rex was too slow, and the Earth's rotation speed was faster during the Cretaceous period.

The faster the Earth's rotation, the shorter the day will be, and the sky will get dark quickly.

Dinosaurs were better at hunting during the day, as finding food at night would have been more difficult.

Mother Long was afraid that her cub would be in danger, so she found a secluded place and told him to stay there.

No matter how much Yu Yijun likes to fool around, facing the prehistoric continent full of dangers, he is unfamiliar with the place and can only keep his tail between his legs and act like a beast.

Yu Yiyun lay obediently in the small world formed by trees and earth slopes, quietly observing the bright stars and listening to the rustling sounds around her.

I climbed in a daze for a while, and heard a tiny "squeaking" sound among the leaves above my head.

Yu Yiyun was a little curious and slowly raised her head.

Through the vast darkness, he saw a few little guys with round heads and brains, about the same size as squirrels, covered with soft brown fur. They were climbing the branches with their tiny claws, picking tender leaves to fill their stomachs.

I found a big guy lying under the tree, looking at me eagerly, and a little guy was screaming to alert his companions.

Obviously, there is a clear aggregation relationship between their populations. When the other little guys hear the signal, they quickly hide in tree holes or treetops, and look vigilantly at this big guy who can destroy their entire population with just a slight movement of his fingernails.

"Wow."

Yu Yiyun roared in a muffled voice and greeted the group of "loose mice" in the tree.

Although there are very few records in the existing data about this little guy who appeared in the late Cretaceous period and mainly lived in tree holes or ground holes.

But after tens of millions of years, they will evolve from trees to the ground, learn to walk upright on two feet, and eventually become the species that redefines the rules of the blue planet.

Propithecus, a primate mammal that existed at the same time as dinosaurs and the ancestor of all subsequent primates.

Yu Yiyun opened his eyes wide and watched his ancestors hiding deep in the leaves. He carefully poked out his tiny body, which was only as big as a Tyrannosaurus Rex's fingernail, and shook his round head left to right in confusion.

"Squeak." What a big dragon.

"Squeak." It's so dangerous. We have to stay away from him.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The ground is so scary, there are dinosaurs everywhere, we have to stay in the trees.

"Squeak!" Yes, that's right!

After the loose mice delivered their important speech about "never getting down from the tree", a group of sneaky figures quietly approached the tree in the darkness.

In prehistoric times, there were strong and weak dinosaurs among them.

Carnivorous dinosaurs include not only giants like Tyrannosaurus Rex, but also mini dinosaurs, Microraptor being one of them.

It was slender in size and could not defeat other terrestrial dinosaurs. It mainly fed on small mammals, such as Prosimus.

This Microraptor, which had not yet learned to fly, approached the tree with great stealth and climbed up using its hooked claws.

Microraptor was about 70 centimeters long, about the size of a cat, and was not enough in the eyes of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

However, in the era when dinosaurs dominated the continent, the mammals whose living space was squeezed out were pitifully small, and an adult Prosimian weighed only a few dozen grams.

Once Microraptor climbed up the tree, an ancient game of cat and mouse ensued.

The Propithecus was frightened by the Microraptor and screamed wildly. It fled in a panic among the branches, making pitiful cries in a weak voice.

Yu Yijun stood up unsteadily. Microraptor had already grabbed a Prosimian and was holding it down with its claws, devouring it with relish.

"Wow--!"

ancestor--!

Seeing that the flame of human civilization was about to be extinguished, Yu Yijun quickly raised his claws and easily hooked the Microraptor down.

In the mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period, 70% of animals, including dinosaurs, died.

Less than 30% of animals are left, but this is not without impact. Many species have been reduced from millions to just a few dozen, and any accident will cause them to disappear from the stage of history.

Yu Yiyun didn't know how the Prosimian escaped the mass extinction.

Life is not easy. Now that one more ape survives, the fire of human civilization will be ignited a little more.

Yu Yiyun hooked the Microraptor, dug with the tip of his fingernail, picked out a piece of Quetzalcoatlus meat from between its teeth and stuffed it into the beast.

"Wow." Eat more dinosaurs and don't eat my ancestors.

Dinosaur:? ? ?

Why don't we take a piss and look at yourself to see what you look like now?
