It was still bright, but I could feel it darkening and the sun was already setting.

Pang Xiaonan glanced at Xiao Tian Lima again, the clothes on her body were dry, but there were still water stains on her chest, and she didn't know if it was sweat or undried river water.

"Professor Rita Rita, I didn't expect you to be quite strong," Pang Xiaonan gave a thumbs up to Oda Rima, "I can carry a box for so long." ”

"Xiao Tian Lima teaches, if you are tired of carrying it, you can hand it over to Pang Xiaonan to carry it," Wu Yongqiang activated his big mouth of sausage, opening and closing, "What he has is strength, no need to use it in vain." ”

"Hmph, some people don't take the initiative at all!" Rita Lima snorted coldly and looked at Pang Xiaonan coldly.

"Who doesn't take the initiative!" Pang Xiaonan shouted injustice, "When I was chased by the killer bee just now, didn't I help you carry the bag and you ran away? ”

"If you want me to say, you should always carry it on Professor Oda Rima's back. Wu Yongqiang couldn't get used to Pang Xiaonan's attitude, "If I hadn't been carrying a sniper rifle, I would definitely have taken the initiative to ask to help Professor Oda Lima carry a backpack." ”

Wu Yongqiang looked at BridgeMorgan again: "You say yes, Mr. Bridgemorgan, this is called gentlemanly demeanor." ”

Bridgemorgan looked at Wu Yongqiang's sausage mouth, couldn't help laughing, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, you have to be a gentleman, if I don't carry armor, I will also help Professor Oda Rima carry the backpack." ”

Pang Xiaonan jumped up and shouted loudly: "You two, it's too much, I also carry such a big rabbit on my back, why do you want me to help her carry it." Wu Yongqiang, you are carrying a gun, is it very heavy, oh, by the way, you are still carrying two large sausages......"

A few people were making a fuss, and before they knew it, they had walked a long way, and the river suddenly widened.

"Look, there's a lake ......" The sharp-eyed Pang Xiaonan suddenly found that the water surface in the distance was very vast.

"Is it a lake, is it a sea?" said Bridgemorgan, who thought it was a river that had flowed into the sea again, and that they had crossed New Bloss.

"No way, I'm sure it's the lake. "Pang Xiaonan has probed with his spiritual sense before, and they have not reached the edge of New Bulos at all, this is only the heartland of New Bulos.

"The lake is too big. A huge surface of water appeared in front of several people, the lake was a little green in the blue tile, very beautiful, and the water surface was so big that you couldn't see the other side at a glance, it really looked like it was still the same, Oda Rima ran to the water's edge excitedly and shouted.

The lake is all barren land, no plants grow, and it is far away from the water's edge to see a little green.

"Do you say this is a freshwater lake or a saltwater lake?" Wu Yongqiang asked, his mouth was still very swollen, maybe he had just walked too far, his lips were a little chapped, and it looked like a little burnt, just like a hot dog.

"A freshwater lake, of course. Pang Xiaonan pointed to the river that they were flowing downstream, "We came down the Tamsui River, how did it become a saltwater lake?" ”

"That's not necessarily," Oda Rima analyzed, "the freshwater river flows into the saltwater lake, what's impossible, you look at the land by the lake, there is no grass, it's a bit like a saltwater lake." ”

"Is it salty water or fresh water, don't you know if you taste it?" Pang Xiaonan didn't care so much, threw the rabbit on his back to the ground, went directly to the water, picked up a pool of clear water, and took a small sip.

"Wow, it's so sweet!" Pang Xiaonan drank all the water in his hand, "This is fresh water, and it's a bit like mountain spring water." ”

Several people didn't believe it, so they went to the water's edge one after another, leaned down, and drank the water like Pang Xiaonan, sure enough, Pang Xiaonan didn't lie, this lake water is indeed sweet and delicious.

Wu Yongqiang was about to take a big gulp of water, but Pang Xiaonan stopped: "No matter how good the taste of this water is, it is not suitable to eat more." ”

Wu Yongqiang stopped and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Silly, haven't you heard a word of advertising?" Pang Xiaonan pointed to the lake waterway, "We don't produce water, we only work as water porters." No matter how good this water is, after all, it is also outdoor water, do you know how many animals have been bathed in it, how many animals have excreted, how many animals have used it to heal their wounds, even if it is to carry water, it has to be filtered and disinfected. ”

Oda Rima echoed: "That's right, this lake is so big, the water in it is indeed not too hygienic. ”

"You said that animals also drink the water in it, aren't we also animals, what can't be drunk? Wu Yongqiang remembered that in the past, it would be good to be able to find a water source in the wild, and it would be unhygienic to care about it.

"You're an animal, we're not animals," Pang Xiaonan grimaced, "Besides, this is New Bloss, and Professor Lima hasn't tested it yet, so I don't know what germs or toxins are in it." ”

"Bah, bah!" Wu Yongqiang stood at the water's edge and spat out, "Even if it's poisonous, you all drank it, you don't scare me here." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll do a test to see what kind of microorganisms the water in this lake contains. Rita Rima took off her backpack from her shoulder, took out the instrument and began to carefully test it.

The sun was about to set on the lake, the remnant sun was like blood, a gust of wind blew on the lake, warm, and suddenly, Pang Xiaonan noticed that there seemed to be movement on the distant lake.

A snake's head stretched out from the water, and Pang Xiaonan shouted, "Look, there are water monsters." ”

Wu Yongqiang immediately picked up the scope and looked at it, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Where is there a water monster?" ”

When Pang Xiaonan looked over again, there was indeed no water monster.

He described: "There is indeed something, like a water snake sticking its head out. ”

"You said it, it was a water snake sticking out its head, that is the water snake, how did it connect with the water monster. Wu Yongqiang was impatient by Pang Xiaonan's fuss, and lazily lay on the sand on the shore.

"How can the water snake stand up with its head upright, it swims around in the water, how can it have the ability to stand its head upright. Pang Xiaonan still has some understanding of general biological knowledge.

"Not necessarily, this is New Bloss, anything is possible. Rita didn't raise her head, staring intently at the water quality sample under the microscope.

"Could it be that I'm dazzled?" Pang Xiaonan scratched his head, but his eyes looked fixedly at the lake in the distance, the sun was about to set on the water, dyeing the lake orange red, sparkling, and beautiful.

"There is nothing wrong with this water, only some primitive algae, and no pathogenic bacteria or toxins have been found in the virus experiments. Oda Rima finally finished the laboratory work of the lake water, and lay down on the ground like Wu Yongqiang.

Suddenly, Pang Xiaonan saw it again, and the long snake head emerged from the surface of the lake again, and it looked particularly eye-catching under the reflection of a round of remnant sun that was about to sink into the water.

"Look at it!" Pang Xiaonan slapped Wu Yongqiang beside him hurriedly, "It's really a water monster." ”

Wu Yongqiang got up with a bone, and this time he also saw the water monster in Pang Xiaonan's mouth, with a long snake body standing upright on the water, and his head was tilted towards the sky.

Wu Yongqiang hurriedly picked up the scope and looked over, but unfortunately, because of the backlight, he could only see clearly that it was a head on a long and thick neck, but as for the details of the head, he couldn't see it very clearly.

Oda Rima and Bridgem Morgan were also attracted by Pang Xiaonan's shouts, and they all looked towards the lake, and they both saw the water monster in Pang Xiaonan's mouth.

"Give me the scope!" Rita Rima flipped to Pang Xiaonan's side and stretched out her hand towards Wu Yongqiang.

Wu Yongqiang quickly handed the scope to Oda Lima, Oda Rima couldn't wait to put the scope in front of the two eyes, only observed for a while, her excitement was indescribable: "This is not a water monster, this is a dinosaur......

Xiao Tian Lima's voice trembled a little, and Pang Xiaonan was also taken aback, and said, "Dinosaurs, do you mean, this is a dinosaur that has disappeared for tens of thousands of years?"

"What tens of thousands of years, it should be hundreds of millions of years!" Rita Rima corrected Pang Xiaonan's mistake, still shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Is it really a dinosaur?" BridgeMorgan leaned over, if it was confirmed that it was a dinosaur, then this trip to New Bloss would be too rewarding.

"It's really a dinosaur," Rita Rima kept looking at the scope, and after careful comparison, she made a judgment, "This is Brachiosaurus, the largest dinosaur in the Jurassic." ”

"What is Brachiosaurus?" Pang Xiaonan had only heard of Tyrannosaurus rex, and he didn't know the scientific names of other dinosaurs.

"Brachiosaurus is one of the largest and heaviest dinosaurs ever seen on Earth, and it is known for having huge forelimbs and a long giraffe-like neck. Brachiosaurus was the tallest of the intact skeletons that had been excavated, stretching its neck like a crane, ripping leaves from a four-story tree, or lowering its head to shred a low fern with its chisel-like teeth. Brachiosaurus is distinguished from other sauropods by the fact that its forelimbs are thicker than its hindlimbs and the shape of its teeth is also peculiar. ”

Rita's voice was still excited, but the explanation was clear.

"Brachiosaurus had a very small head and was a dinosaur with a low IQ. Their nostrils grow on the top of their heads and are mound-like protrusions. They have well-developed jaws with a total of 52 teeth above and below. The teeth are straight and sharp, making it easy to bite through tender pine branches. Their long necks also allow them to eat leaves from high places that other dinosaurs can't, satisfying their astonishing appetite due to their large bodies. Brachiosaurus walked on all fours, and its huge body was completely supported by its thick limbs. Some brachiosaurs were as tall as four stories tall and weighed as much as five elephants, and an adult was no less than the knees of such a behemoth. ”

"You mean, this Brachiosaurus is a plant-eating dinosaur?" Pang Xiaonan was a little curious, "What plants are eaten in the lake, aren't there only fish in the lake?"

"There may also be duckweed or aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake that you can eat. Wu Yongqiang pretended to be an expert and returned to Pang Xiaonan's question.

"No, Brachiosaurus went to the lake, most likely to cool off, like a hippopotamus lying in the water. Rita Rita, a true expert, denied the pseudo-expert Wu Yongqiang, "Brachiosaurus has a gentle temperament and likes to live in groups. In order to satisfy their great appetite, they often migrate in groups, and wherever they go, there are great earthquakes, smoke and dust, and all kinds of small animals flee one after another, except for the heavenly Archaeopteryx and pterosaurs hovering leisurely around them. ”

"Look, Cao Cao Cao is here!" Pang Xiaonan pointed to the big bird that flew past in a blood-red sunset, "Is that a pterosaur?"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and indeed, a large bird with outstretched wings was gliding over the head of Brachiosaurus.

Oda Rima hurriedly picked up the scope and looked over, but unfortunately, the big bird disappeared quickly, even if Oda Rima captured the figure, but now the light is getting weaker and weaker, and they are backlit again, it is difficult to see the whole picture of the big bird.

"It could be a pterosaur, or it could be Archaeopteryx. Rita Lima put down her scope, a little disappointed.

"Oh, what's the difference between a pterosaur and an archaeopteryx?" asked shamelessly, which was Pang Xiaonan's advantage.

"As the name suggests, pterosaurs are dinosaurs and Archaeopteryx are birds. Wu Yongqiang began to show off his knowledge again.

"On the contrary, pterosaurs are not dragons, and Archaeopteryx is not birds. The pseudo-expert Wu Yongqiang was denied by the real expert Oda Lima again, and he couldn't help but start to be embarrassed.

"How?" said Bridgemorgan, looking at the beautiful scenery and the incredible discovery, and began to be intrigued.

"Pterodactyls were large reptiles that could fly, and in the strict sense of the word, pterosaurs did not belong to the dinosaur family, because dinosaurs generally refer to terrestrial reptiles, not flying reptiles. Archaeopteryx were small dinosaurs with hip bones similar to those of modern birds, and their corresponding dinosaurs had hip bones similar to those of today's reptiles. It was still mainly terrestrial, and paleontologists believe that Archaeopteryx may have had feathers, but it should not have been able to fly like birds and pterosaurs today, but could only glide with the help of feathers. The difference between the two is very obvious, the pterosaur had a long and pointed beak, and its upper and lower limbs were connected by a layer of skin, which is its wings, while the Archaeopteryx was more similar in appearance to a small carnivorous dinosaur, without a long and pointed beak like a pterosaur, and had a relatively long tail. In terms of size, the pterosaur should be much larger than the Archaeopteryx. ”

Oda Rima stared intently at the brachiosaurus that was still playing in the water, and her eyes reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, which was about to get dark.

"It's kind of weird. Bridgemorgan was also a man of great learning, "We are not without encounters with birds on the periphery of New Bloss, and this Archaeopteryx is the ancestor of birds, how can our ancestors be in the same world as their descendants who have evolved for tens of thousands of years?"

"So, that's what I don't understand. Rita Rima frowned, "This is not valid in evolution, in the era of dinosaurs, there should not have been birds, and rabbits could not have existed." ”

"What's so strange," Pang Xiaonan disagreed, "Don't you know that we have been encountering prehistoric monsters since we entered the Bloss Circle, and I guess that Canglong is also a type of dinosaur, right?"

"Yes, you're right, Cangsaurus is indeed a type of dinosaur. Rima Oda gave an affirmative answer.

"So, you see, all the creatures we encounter are basically not playing cards according to common sense, so this incest problem in New Bloss may be one of its norms. Pang Xiaonan analyzed painlessly, he didn't have so many rules and regulations of logical thinking, he only knew that existence was reasonable.

"Is it possible that this new Bloss is like a Noah's Ark. Bridgemorgan also followed Pang Xiaonan's divergent thinking, "The Ark of Promise, as we originally understood it, was that all the animals of the same period were collected on the ship, but the Noah's Ark of New Bloss collected different creatures from different periods on one island. ”

"Wisdom!" Pang Xiaonan gave BridgeMorgan a thumbs up, "There is indeed such a possibility. ”

Oda Rima also nodded, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Your ideas are really brain-opening, but in this magical place, anything can happen." ”

"If you develop New Blos into a tourist destination, it will definitely be very popular. "Bridge-Morgan reveals his true nature as a businessman, and his vision is so grand that if he could recreate a world here, it would be the most popular tourist attraction in Hallelujah.

"Hahaha, Mr. Bridgemorgan, I have to say that your idea is very bold," Pang Xiaonan didn't think so, "but at present, the most important thing is how to go back safely, as for the development thing, I don't think it's that simple." ”

Oda Rima also stood on Pang Xiaonan's side and said: "The primitive environment here is so well protected, can you bear to use it for commercial development? Besides, for so many years, this place has always been a paradise, no army can invade it, and it is not so easy to develop, maybe an impossible task." ”

"You misunderstood, I'm not going to do that kind of destructive development," Bridgemorgan said was tiring to talk to people who didn't have business acumen, "and my development is all about protecting the ecology here, and it's a win-win project where we can make people aware of the beauty of the new world and make the new Bloss a better place." ”

"I'm afraid it's in the best condition now. Pang Xiaonan lay on the ground, looked up at the night that had gone to the sky, the sun had not faded, the cold night light had sprinkled all over the lake, and a yin and a yang were perfectly intertwined here.

"Eh, Pang Xiaonan, it's dark, don't you want to make a fire?" Wu Yongqiang on the side kindly reminded Pang Xiaonan, actually watching the rabbit swallow his saliva.

"yes, I almost forgot about it, we're on Dinosaur Island right now, it's too dangerous, I have to have a fire. Pang Xiaonan got up.

"Wu Yongqiang and I are looking for firewood, then you two ......" Pang Xiaonan pointed to Oda Rima and Bridgemorgan, "Mr. Bridgemorgan, the task of protecting Professor Oda Rima is entrusted to you, don't worry, we won't be there for long." ”

"Don't worry, I'll protect Professor Rita. Bridgemorgan answered quickly, and he had long wanted to be alone with the beautiful and intelligent woman in front of him for a while.

"Okay, then let's go. Pang Xiaonan picked up Wu Yongqiang and walked towards the woods.

Walking into the woods, only the low chirping of insects, the birds stopped moving, and there was no rustle of leaves, Wu Yongqiang asked Pang Xiaonan and said, "Why did you come to collect firewood by yourself, you should have ordered BridgeMorgan and me to collect firewood." ”

"How do you say this?" Pang Xiaonan looked at Wu Yongqiang curiously.

"You are stupid, your kung fu is the best, and you should have stayed where you were to protect the weak woman. Wu Yongqiang's analysis was the head, "Besides, our group is centered on you, and you have the right to order Bridgemorgan to do the work, and also kill his rich style." ”

"Don't forget," Pang Xiaonan reminded Wu Yongqiang disapprovingly, "BridgeMorgan is our ultimate boss, you ordered him, didn't you listen to what he told the captain before? If I can't go back, you don't want to get the final payment for this mission." People are rich and capricious, you can still use him as a servant, save it. ”

"That's right, that guy is too blind. Wu Yongqiang suddenly realized, and he had already picked up a thick branch in his hand, "But let him be with Professor Oda Lima, will it be fine?"

"What can it be? at most it's a between men and women. Pang Xiaonan saw a branch not high above the ground, and jumped up without hesitation and broke it.

"Don't you see that I think Professor Rita Rima is interesting to you. "Although Wu Yongqiang is a mercenary, his mind is not bad.

"You save it, this is also in this special environment, only a macho man like me can be lethal to women," Pang Xiaonan saw a thick branch on the ground again, and bent down and hugged his arm without hesitation, "If you really go back to the Hallelujah continent, a rich man like BridgeMorgan is the object of women's fantasies, and I am creating opportunities for them." ”

"High, really high!" Wu Yongqiang gave Pang Xiaonan a thumbs up, "You are really a person with great wisdom, I can't imagine that you are not only good at martial arts, but also good at your mind, and you can see so far-reaching feelings, you are really an example for us to learn." ”

has been with Pang Xiaonan for a long time, and everyone has developed a style of speaking out loudly.

"Hey, I can't help it, in such a dangerous environment, can you still think about so many empty things?" Pang Xiaonan took a fancy to a branch on the tree again, jumped high and broke it, "Let's think about how to roast the rabbit later." ”

"That's right, it's Amitabha Buddha who can save his life, or think about how to fill his stomach. Wu Yongqiang stopped talking and silently picked up suitable firewood.

The two of them quickly picked up a large pile of firewood, and they had no hands to grasp before they walked to the place before.

After Pang Xiaonan and Wu Yongqiang went to collect firewood, BridgeMorgan and Oda Lima sat under the canopy of the sun and moon, quietly watching the brachiosaurus playing in the distance.

In addition to the brachiosaurus at the beginning, several more came out one after another, just like Oda Rima said, Brachiosaurus is a social animal, and it is impossible for only one dragon to be active in the water.

"You see, how much fun they have. Bridgemorgan moved a little to Rita's side, and his words were extremely gentle.

"yes, they're carefree, like when we were kidneys. Rita Lima clasped her hands on her knees and stared at the huge dinosaurs without blinking.

"Brachiosaurus can be said to be the largest dinosaur, even those fierce carnivorous dinosaurs are afraid of them to death, but who would have thought that they only eat plants and will not actively attack other animals, but wherever they go, other dinosaurs will stay away. Oda Rima spoke quietly, softly, "and their personalities are so gentle, that when the night sky comes, they go in groups to chase and play in the water." ”

"The world says women are made of water, I see," Bridgemorgan turned his head and looked at Rita Yama with a smile, "This brachiosaurus is probably also made of water." ”

"Hehe, if they are made of water, then the water in this lake is not enough to make a few brachiosaurs. Oda Rima knew that Brachiosaurus weighed hundreds of tons, and a little water could not make it.

"If you go back, will you make the situation here public?" Bridgemorgan asked coldly.

"What do you mean?" Rita noticed that BridgeMorgan was very close to her, and quickly moved a little.

"I mean, everything here is unbelievable, and even if you say it, no one will believe it. Bridgemorgan continued to stare at the water ahead of him, expressionless.

"But I've got all the evidence. Rita believes that people have the right to know the truth.

"Is your evidence enough?" BridgeMorgan stretched, "Some people will say that your evidence is all fake, and your pictures are fake." ”

"Then what do you mean, everything we have discovered is only kept in our minds, don't you say it?" Rita Rima looked at Bridgemorgan suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"It's not that the time has not yet come. Bridgemorgan finally revealed his ambitions, "When I show this place to the world, everyone will believe what we find." ”

"You mean, you're still going to develop this place and make it a tourist destination. "Rita Rima was disgusted by this mercenary guy and even explored in the name of science.

"Yes, I hope that you can be my partner in the development of New Bloss, and together we will turn this place into our new home, into our utopia. BridgeMorgan looked at Rita Rita tenderly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bridgemorgan, but I don't agree with your approach. Oda Rima stood up and didn't look at Bridgemorgan, "This place should belong to all mankind, not yours personally, if it is to be developed, it should also be up to the Hallelujah Star Alliance to decide who will develop it and how to develop it." ”

"Haha," BridgeMorgan lay on the ground leisurely, his hands on his head, "Hallelujah Star Alliance, don't you worry, I have a way to deal with them, isn't it just to share some benefits with them?"

As a top billionaire, playing politics is familiar to Bridgemorgan, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and no matter how high-level politicians are, they are nothing more than a combination of interests.

At first, Bridgemorgan sponsored the expedition with the intention of exploration and excitement, but when he discovered the treasure here, his plans changed, and it was better to have his own preconceived ideas than to let others benefit from such a profitable thing.
