Controlling Beasts, I Can Plan An Evolutionary Path

The bespectacled man and others never dreamed that they would fall into the hands of a few students.

It was obvious that they had been planning for a long time and carefully selected their attack route and escape route.

Even this cave was deliberately chosen to be secluded and far away from the excavation site of historical ruins.

But he didn't expect to be caught anyway.

Several people were tightly bound by ropes condensed with gravel, and their mouths were filled with sand.

On the floor of the cave, three cultural relics were placed quietly on the ground.

The bronze wine cup and jade flute look very old, revealing a vast historical atmosphere.

But what caught the most attention was the jade pot.

There are two jade handles on the left and right sides of the jade pot. The carved image is an animal that looks like a snake but is not a snake.

The animal has the body of a snake, but it has two horns and four claws.

"What kind of creature is this?" Long Ze looked at the carvings on the jade pot curiously and asked doubtfully.

"It is somewhat similar to the skeletons seen in the ruins. However, the skeleton in the ruins has a single horn, but this jade carving creature has double horns." Zhou Ziqi also looked at the jade pot intently.

Unlike their doubts, Li Qingzhou knew the creature carved on the jade pot.

That's a real dragon.

It seems that the totem worshiped by the tribe that once lived here was the real dragon.

Just when Li Qingzhou was about to speak.

There was a noise at the entrance of the cave, and then the sound of soft footsteps was heard.

Yang Qianqi walked in with Yang Ruxue, Chen Xingyu, and several security personnel.

When Chen Xingyu saw Li Qingzhou and others running out of the historical site, she quickly informed Yang Qianqi.

Yang Qianqi was worried about the safety of the students, so he rushed over with several security personnel.

Fortunately, Li Qingzhou and the others left many marks along the way, and it didn't take them long to find the cave.

"Are you okay?" Yang Qianqi looked at Li Qingzhou and others and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Li Qingzhou replied.

"Well, that's good." Yang Qianqi nodded, then looked at the few people tied up with gravel and said, "Are they the thieves who broke into the ruins excavation site?"

"Yes." Zhou Ziqi said, and then pointed to several cultural relics in front of him, "These are the cultural relics they stole from the ruins excavation site."

Yang Qianqi nodded.

"You guys suddenly ran out and scared me!" Chen Xingyu looked like she was in danger.

She had just woken up and was still unconscious. She was really shocked when she saw Li Qingzhou and others running out.

Especially after hearing the news that someone broke into the ruins excavation site and security personnel were injured, I became even more worried.

That's why she came here with Yang Ruxue.

"We're fine!" Li Qingzhou replied with a smile.

"Are these cultural relics just unearthed?" Yang Ruxue said, looking at the three cultural relics on the ground.

"Yes, it was just unearthed. They stole it before we could study it." Yang Qianqi said, and the look on his face relaxed.

If cultural relics are lost, it will be a big blow to archaeologists.

Maybe with just one or two cultural relics, we can understand a period of history, or understand information about an extinct creature.

"The carved creatures on this jade pot are similar to the skeletons in the ruins!" Chen Xingyu looked at the two jade carved creatures on the jade pot and said aloud.

"It's indeed quite similar." Yang Ruxue agreed.

Yang Qianqi looked at the jade pot on the ground, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

This cultural relic had just been unearthed not long ago, and he had not had time to observe and study it carefully.

After Chen Xingyu said it, they were indeed very similar.

"Perhaps this is the original appearance of the snake creatures in the ruins." Yang Qianqi said.

Since the remains of the snake creature were unearthed, they have been using a variety of techniques to restore the extinct creature's original appearance.

There are several possible images, but none have been confirmed yet.

The carvings on the jade pot can provide them with new ideas.

"However, this jade carving creature has two horns on its head. The snake creature skeletons in the ruins must have only one horn!" Long Ze said.

"There is indeed something different." Yang Qianqi also discovered this difference.

"Teacher, has the creature on this jade sculpture been named?" Yang Ruxue looked at Yang Qianqi and asked.

"No, the snake creature skeletons in the ruins have not been named either. For this creature, they are still debating whether to name it after a snake or give it a new name." Yang Qianqi said.

"It looks like a snake, but not a snake. It's really hard to choose a name." Zhou Ziqi said.

"The creature on the jade pot is a dragon!" Li Qingzhou said slowly.

"Dragon? You mean to name it dragon!" Yang Qianqi looked at Li Qingzhou with excitement in his eyes.

Yang Qianqi looked carefully at the creature carved on the jade pot. If you look closely, the jade creature has horns like a deer, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like an ox... ...

It combines the characteristics of many creatures, so it is really inappropriate to name it after a snake alone.

As the king of beasts, the dragon is indeed consistent with the image of this jade-carved creature.

"This is not a dragon. A dragon has wings, which is completely different from him!" Long Ze retorted.

He is a child of the Yulong family and only recognizes flying dragons as dragons, and other creatures are not worthy of being called dragons.

"Your chariot is a flying dragon, and this is another kind of dragon, the Eastern True Dragon!" Li Qingzhou said.

"Eastern True Dragon!" Yang Qianqi adjusted his glasses and looked at the jade carving creature more carefully.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that this creature is so noble that only a 'dragon' is worthy of it.

If it were to be named after a certain species of snake, that would be nonsense!

"I will report it to the archaeologists at the historical relic excavation site and discuss it together." Yang Qianqi said, and then looked at Li Qingzhou, "What kind of creature do you think the bones in the relic are?"

In fact, he had already implicitly agreed that the creature was a dragon, but this matter needed to be discussed with other scholars, and he could not make the final decision.

Li Qingzhou's thoughts inspired him, and he wanted to hear Li Qingzhou's views on the bones.

"I think it may be some kind of excessive form before evolving into a true dragon, and it can be named a dragon." Li Qingzhou said unhurriedly.

"Are you saying that the creature carved on the jade pot is a real dragon, a fully evolved form, and the skeleton is a dragon in some form during the evolution process?" Yang Qianqi asked with confirmation.

This is a major conjecture that, if verified, may shock the entire archaeological community.

"Yes, I think it is possible." Li Qingzhou replied.

Although what he said was true, he didn't want to make it too absolute.

After all, there is no real dragon in this world, so we can only make conjectures to guide Yang Qianqi and the others.

"No wonder the bones are very similar to the jade-carved creatures on the jade pot, but there are differences. The bones found in the ruins have many characteristics of snakes, but the carved creatures on the jade pot only have some characteristics of snake-like creatures, and It looks even more noble and magical."

Yang Qianqi said to himself.
