Chu Pingqiu cupped his eyebrows with a solemn expression, then raised his head again, and asked indifferently, "Are you dead?" ”

"It's dead," Liang Cheng replied. In fact, Liang Cheng thought more in his heart that he didn't know, although the red python was shot by Chen Qi on the stone bridge in the air and couldn't fly, and then fell and disappeared into the darkness under the stone bridge, and under the stone bridge is the earth dragon, maybe the red python can be buried here, but we didn't see it with our own eyes after all.

But Liang Cheng still hoped it was dead.

Chu Pingqiu was still indifferent, he thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Have you ever heard of the Earth Snake?" ”

Liang Cheng shook his head and raised his head to look at Chu Pingqiu: "What is the Earth Snake?" ”

"The Earth Serpent, according to written sources, is a creature of ancient times." Chu Pingqiu said as he walked, "But it is extinct in today's records. ”

"In the history of life on Earth, the Cretaceous is the last epoch of the Mesozoic Era, which began with 137 million years ago and ended at 65 million years ago, of which a total of 70 million years have passed."

"This is the period of the greatest evolution that the Earth has ever experienced, with the most intense crustal activity, as the plates of the continents begin to break up, forming oceans, and the Earth becomes warmer and drier."

"Because of the climate change, the earth began to be suitable for life, and flowering plants appeared on the earth, and many new species of dinosaurs began to appear."

"Dinosaurs still dominated the land during that period, and giant dinosaurs capable of flying appeared in the high air, and Haitian amphibious dinosaurs also appeared in shallow waters." Chu Pingqiu pushed his glasses and continued, "At the same time, moths, bees, and many new small mammals also appeared during this period, and the ground snake is also one of the new animals. ”

"There aren't many references to the serpent in modern literature. As far as Liang Cheng knows, the length of the early ground snake is about 20 meters. “

"About five years ago, archaeologists unearthed a skeleton of a suspected ground snake, 16 meters long, dated after the Cretaceous, the skeleton is well preserved, but there is indeed a suspected wing break on its dorsal ridge." Chu Pingqiu said as he walked.

"You mean, we met the Earth Serpent of the Ancient Times?" Liang Cheng suppressed his surprise and asked Chu Pingqiu.

"Earth snakes are the earliest ancestors of snakes, and they may have diverged into many, many different types of species over the course of 20 million years of evolution." Chu Pingqiu frowned slightly and began to think.

"If you really encounter an evolutionary species that is suspected to be an Earth Snake, then Liang Cheng can infer that there must be another evolutionary species that can compete with them. They may also be an evolution of the Earth Serpent, or an evolution of other ancient creatures, but in any case, they must have the ability to be no less than the Earth Serpent. ”

"How so?" Liang Cheng asked.

"This is one of the introductory chapters of high school philosophy, why should there be a struggle?" Chu Pingqiu replied lightly, "The explanation of 'demand struggle reward' in one of the sentences is that the premise and foundation of evolution, without demand, struggle, and reward, human beings will not evolve and develop. Human beings, who have evolved to the present day, are unwilling to struggle if they lose the direction of struggle, the motivation for demand and the enthusiasm for struggle. ”

"It is also mentioned in the famous "Theory of Evolution" that evolution is a constant competition and elimination, and the survival of the fittest." Chu Pingqiu said, "This is the reason why Liang Cheng deduced that there must be another force fighting against the Earth Snake. Since you can survive from ancient times, then ......"

Chu Pingqiu suddenly became excited, and there was actually a trace of terrifying fanaticism in his indifferent gaze, and he slightly accentuated his tone: "...... Then there must be a competitor of equal strength by their side. ”

"There is indeed a competitor..."Liang Cheng said as he looked at Chu Pingqiu. Chu Pingqiu also turned his head to look at Liang Cheng with sadness and joy.

"Earth Dragon."

"Earth Dragon?" Chu Pingqiu still looked indifferent, without any emotional ups and downs, and after a while, he actually frowned slightly and asked Liang Cheng: "What earth dragon?" ”

"Brother Du, you finally met something you don't know, right?" Liang Cheng jokingly patted Chu Pingqiu's shoulder and said, if he was a woman, Liang Cheng would really be willing to call him "Du Niang".

Chu Pingqiu glanced at Liang Cheng lightly, and said disapprerovingly: "It's normal to have something I don't know, but what I'm thinking about now is, did you give it the name 'Earth Dragon' yourself?" ”

"Have you never heard of the Earth Dragon?"

"Earth Dragon?" Chu Pingqiu pushed his glasses lightly, then took a deep breath and said casually: "The Phylum Annelids, the Worm Ginseng, the Vulgar Ring Worm, the William Ring Worm or the dried body of the Ctenocystis Worm, is used for cerebral thrombosis, cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease, stroke, joint paralysis, limb numbness, hemiplegia, high blood pressure and other diseases. ”

"Stop, stop." Liang Cheng immediately interrupted Chu Pingqiu, "I see that you just had a cerebral infarction and a stroke." Forget it, you might find out when you meet it. ”

Chu Pingqiu just said lightly, and lightly touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand.

The sun was tilting, and the wreckage of the plane lay quietly on the charred earth, and beside the wreckage, the charred bushes were like charred wreckage, maintaining their last posture when the water was evaporated.

Chu Pingqiu walked to the side of the plane, quietly observed the torn body of the plane, and gently pushed his glasses.

The plane was moderately damaged, with the front of the huge fuselage lying quietly on the ground, half of the fuselage buried deep in the ground and gliding from the impact. The rear section was broken in two from the rear of the two wingspans of the aircraft, and the left wing of the aircraft had been broken. On the raised tail of the plane, the two engines were burned along with the nearby fuselage, and the paint was blackened.

Zhao Youyu walked around the plane aimlessly. After a while, Chu Pingqiu pushed his glasses and said, "You can unfold the tent." ”

An hour later.

According to Chu Pingqiu's meaning, we used a tent to seal the broken crack in the cabin of the fuselage in the front section of the plane, and the cabin of the plane re-entered the sealed state.

"And then?" Liang Cheng asked Chu Pingqiu.

"Clean up this cabin." Chu Pingqiu replied.

"You mean, stay here tonight?" Liang Cheng was taken aback by Chu Pingqiu's seemingly whimsical idea.

"I'll live here forever." Chu Pingqiu replied expressionlessly, then walked to the hatch, opened the hatch, turned around and said, "You clean up, I'll go out." ”

The sky had become dark, and the cluttered cabin of the plane had been cleaned by Liang Cheng and Zhao You.

Liang Cheng threw the last pile of useless garbage outside the plane and sat heavily on the seat in the cabin.

"Where did Chu Pingqiu go?"

At the same time as Liang Cheng asked this sentence, a light sound of electricity suddenly came from the overhead, and then all the lights in the dim cabin lit up in an instant!

The sudden bright light made Liang Cheng suddenly unable to open his eyes.

The hatch was opened, and Chu Pingqiu slowly walked in from the outside. His hands were stained with black engine oil, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, mixed with a little blurred oil.
