Controlling Beasts, I Can Plan An Evolutionary Path

After a night's rest, the practical course officially begins.

Yang Qianqi took the students to visit the archaeological research site, and then let some students try it out.

Of course, this is all done on the periphery of the archaeological site, in a place dedicated to student internships.

It is impossible for students to do hands-on work at a real archaeological excavation site.

On the third day, we went to visit the legendary extinct snake pet unearthed from the ruins.

In a large pit, a long spine can be seen, winding and twisting.

"These are the remains of an extinct snake creature. Just look at it and don't get too close."

"This snake bone has several characteristics. It has a single horn on its head and hard scales."

"Our staff found many similar skeletons here, which are about the same size as python bones, but are slightly different. They have a single horn on the head, and some have claws under the body..."

Yang Qianqi led the students to walk slowly around the edge of the ruins while introducing them to the images of the skeletons in the ruins.

"What kind of snake is this? It's so strange!" Chen Xingyu said in surprise.

She lived in southern Xinjiang and had never seen any kind of snake, but this was the first time she saw this big snake with claws and horns.

"It looks like a snake, but it's not a snake. A snake has no claws or a horn." Yang Ruxue said.

"It's really strange and different from any known snake creature."

Zhou Ziqi searched through his memory, but there was no creature that matched the bones in the ruins.

"Otherwise, how can we call it an extinct creature?"

Long Ze didn't take it seriously. Since it was extinct, it must be different from the existing creatures. It was normal to not be able to find the corresponding creature.

While several people were discussing, Li Qingzhou felt a storm in his heart.

Others didn't know what the bones in the ruins were, but he did.

This skeleton is not that of a snake, but that of a dragon.

The features on the bones are consistent with those of the dragon.

The dragon is a form of snake creatures in the process of evolving into a dragon, a state between snakes and dragons.

It has initially possessed the characteristics of a dragon, growing a horn and claws. It only needs to go through a catastrophe before it can completely ascend into a dragon.

The divine dragon has become extinct in this world, but unexpectedly the dragon has also become extinct.

If the dragon also disappears, then the path for snake creatures to evolve into true dragons will be completely cut off.

"Hey, Li Qingzhou, why are you in a daze alone?" Chen Xingyu noticed something unusual about Li Qingzhou and asked.

They were discussing the possible types of skeletons in the ruins. The discussion was in full swing, but Li Qingzhou stood aside and stared at the skeletons in the pit in a daze.

"Oh, I'm thinking about something." Li Qingzhou smiled.

"What's going on? What kind of snake skeleton do you think this is?" Chen Xingyu asked.

"This is not the skeleton of a snake!" Li Qingzhou said with certainty.

Yang Qianqi in front also heard Li Qingzhou's words and cast an interested look at Li Qingzhou.

"This classmate, what kind of creature do you think the skeleton is?" Yang Qianqi asked.

He wanted to hear Li Qingzhou's answer.

In fact, when the skeleton was discovered, many people speculated that it was not the skeleton of a snake.

After all, there are many parts of this skeleton that do not match the characteristics of snake creatures, such as the horn on the head, the claws on the body, etc.

However, this skeleton still has the characteristics of most snakes. Only the spine, skull and tail bones are consistent with snake creatures.

Because it has most of the biological characteristics of snakes, it is called snake bone.

Archaeologists at the scene speculated that it might be a special snake creature, or it might have undergone some unknown mutation.

"This should be the evolutionary form of snakes." Li Qingzhou said.

"We have also made related speculations, but so far we have not found any snakes that have evolved to grow horns and claws." Yang Qianqi said.

"Perhaps this is an evolutionary route that does not exist now. Snake creatures no longer have this evolutionary condition." Li Qingzhou had a guess in his mind.

The true dragons became extinct, and the route of evolution from snakes to dragons was completely blocked.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, the dragon could not evolve into a true dragon, so it became extinct.

After that, no snake creature evolved in the direction of dragon, because it was a dead end.

"These speculations are still under study." Yang Qianqi said a few words and continued to take the students to visit other places.

showroom.

There are many items placed on rows of display shelves.

There are ceramic pots, stone weapons, armor, some rusty iron tools, some huge skeletons, etc.

These are all items unearthed from the ruins.

Yang Qianqi looked at the display shelf and said: "These items show that humans once lived here, and the extinct snake-like creatures are humans' pet beasts."

"I just don't know why, but they were destroyed together."

Along with Yang Qianqi's explanation, the students looked at the items on the display shelves curiously.

Li Qingzhou noticed a huge skull with two huge fangs on the upper jaw and a row of sharp teeth on the lower jaw.

On the head, there is a raised horn.

The more Li Qingzhou looked, the more convinced he became that these were the bones of the dragon.

This place should be a tribe, and the pet beast of the tribe's people is a dragon.

But the pet beast is a dragon, so the strength of this tribe should be stronger. Why was it suddenly destroyed?

Li Qingzhou thought.

He remembered what he saw while holding the dragon ball in the secret pendant and meditating.

The golden dragon flew in the air and then crash-landed in the Longyan Mountains.

At that time, I seemed to see some vague black things.

Is there any connection between the destruction of this ruins and the injury of the golden dragon in Longyan Volcano?

While Li Qingzhou was thinking, Yang Qianqi had already led the students to the next exhibition hall.

Li Qingzhou followed his classmates, looking aimlessly as he walked.

"Students, have you ever seen a weapon-like beast?" Yang Qianqi looked at the students behind him with a smile and asked.

Many students shook their heads, but only Long Ze and Zhou Ziqi nodded.

"At the excavation sites of historical relics, you can sometimes encounter weapon-like beasts. They have developed spirituality over a long period of time and become intelligent creatures. They can fight spontaneously and sign contracts with humans."

Yang Qianqi explained.

"Teacher, are there such weapon-like beasts here?" Chen Xingyu asked curiously.

She had never encountered a similar pet beast, so she was curious about what it was like.

A flying sword, a gun that can attack automatically, or a bow that can shoot arrows spontaneously...

It's interesting to think about it.

"Currently, nothing has been found." Yang Qianqi said.

Chen Xingyu showed a hint of disappointment on her face.

"The wisdom of weapons is not easy to cultivate. It takes a long time and a certain amount of chance. A weapon-like beast can be found in maybe a dozen historical sites." Yang Qianqi said.

Li Qingzhou also felt a little disappointed.

He had met players with weapon-bearing beasts at the Chaoyang Beast Promotion Arena before, and they were quite handsome.

It would be nice if you could encounter a sword here.

Unfortunately, I can't find it.
