Chapter 1785 Prehistoric Giant Scorpion
However, even this old monster has super perception ability. But it still mainly relies on the two long whip-like tentacles on its head to sense everything around it.
Zhao Zhongyao knew this old monster. He knew that as long as they were a certain distance away from this old monster. Then it dare not perceive them.
So, Zhao Zhongyao asked Feifei to stand there not to move. Because if they moved around, the old monster would obviously find out.
After Feifei listened to his father's words, he stopped moving around. He knew that as long as he didn't move around, the old monster wouldn't find them.
So, Feifei no longer thought about running away. But this old monster is really not simple. It seemed that it had really discovered Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. Even if Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei didn't move around, they were still discovered by this old monster.
Because the sensory system of this old monster is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary insects. Even if it was five or six meters away from Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, it would have found Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
Now just look at this old monster slowly crawling towards Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. Now he is about two or three meters away from Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. This is a very close distance. It's almost like being by Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei's side.
When Feifei saw this situation, she was very scared. He quickly looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, 'Dad, let's run quickly! I feel like we still let it find out. If it doesn't run away, it will devour us in one bite. '
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'Don't move. Must not move. I feel that it should have not found us. If it moves around now, it will let it find out! '
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei had no choice but to stay where he was. However, seeing this old monster approaching them constantly, he was also very scared in his heart.
Now it can be seen that this old monster has come to Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei, and it keeps sweeping Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei back and forth with the two long tentacles on its head.
Feifei watched the big monster's long tentacles sweeping around his body, and he was very scared. He really wanted to run away quickly! But Zhao Zhongyao pulled him, so he had no choice but to continue to stay with his father.
'Dad, let's run quickly! This old monster must have spotted us. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.
'No, he won't find us. 'Zhao Zhongyao is still comforting himself.
But what Zhao Zhongyao never expected was that this old monster seemed to have really found them. Even if the two of them didn't move. But this old monster also seemed to have seen Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
Now look at this old monster raised its head, opened its mouth wide, revealing two pieces of curved and pointed long teeth. Some sticky stuff came out of the mouth soon. These things fell in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. The two saw it, and it was both disgusting and terribly frightening.
Zhao Zhongyao himself felt whether he had made a mistake. This guy seems to have spotted them. Ready to take the two of them as food and drink!
'Dad, let's run! If we don't run away, we will become the appetizers of this old monster. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.
But Zhao Zhongyao felt that the more it was at this time, the more he had to persevere. If you run away immediately, you will be regarded as prey by this old monster. It may soon catch up. At that time, no matter how fast Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei run, they will not be able to escape the clutches of this old monster.
But this old monster obviously opened its mouth wide to devour Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei! This situation made Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei very scared.
But now for Zhao Zhongyao, he felt a dilemma. On the one hand, he felt that he could not escape immediately. But I also felt that if this old monster really found the two of them. If you attack the two of them immediately, they will be unable to run away even if they want to.
But just when Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei felt that they didn't know what to do. At this critical moment. Suddenly, the old monster closed its mouth. Then, step back a few meters. As if it saw something terrible.
This incident made Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei feel a little strange. After all, this big monster is obviously going to attack them both! But why did it suddenly leave again!
At this time, Feifei felt as if there was something behind him. And above his head, a strange thing suddenly appeared. This thing is jointed, and on the head of this thing, there is a curved needle. It makes people feel that this thing is like the tail of a big scorpion.
Of course Zhao Zhongyao also felt strange. He also saw what looked like a scorpion's tail protruding above his head.
So, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei couldn't help but look back. Just looking at it scared the two of them out of their wits. Because behind the two of them, a very huge scorpion crawled over at some point.
This huge scorpion is about three to four meters long, and its body is also one meter wide. The whole body is dark brown, which is similar to the color of modern scorpions. The thick and long bamboo-jointed tail alone is three to four meters long, almost as long as its body.
On the head of this big scorpion, there are also two huge pincers. At the end of each chelicerae are a pair of giant pincers. When people see it, they feel shuddering.
'Dad, this--what kind of monster is this. ’ Feifei looked back and saw that
He was taken aback when he saw a huge scorpion.
The same is true for Zhao Zhongyao. When he looked back, he was also quite frightened. After all, he had never seen such a huge scorpion before.
‘Is this a prehistoric giant scorpion? 'Zhao Zhongyao himself didn't understand what kind of big scorpion it was, he could only say that it was a prehistoric giant scorpion.
‘Dad, what is a prehistoric giant scorpion, do you know this knowledge too! Can you tell me something. ’ Feifei became interested in this prehistoric giant scorpion again.
It's just that Zhao Zhongyao sees that the situation of the two of them is very dangerous now. He has time to talk to Feifei about the prehistoric giant scorpion. So, he looked at Feifei and said, 'We are not the time to tell stories. I think we'd better hide aside first! '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei said in a puzzled way, 'Didn't you say that we can't move now! Why are you running away now? '
Zhao Zhongyao said,'It was just now, and now is now. This moment, that moment. You didn't see, a big guy came to help us. '
As soon as Zhao Zhongyao saw a big scorpion suddenly appear, he felt that this big scorpion could resist this big monster ancient centipede for them.
'Okay, let's go aside then. ’ After hearing what Dad said, Feifei also wanted to leave here quickly.
So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei hurried to the side. And this big scorpion did not chase after Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. It seems to be more interested in this ancient centipede.
When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei moved aside, the big scorpion began to attack the ancient centipede. At this time, the big centipede was also unconvinced. The two big monsters fought like this.
This big scorpion is the same as this big centipede. They all wore thick armor. They are not afraid of each other to bite their bodies. These two big monsters fought in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
Zhao Zhongyao watched the big scorpion resist the big centipede for them. He ran aside with Feifei. In this place, there is a stone. About two or three meters high. There is a platform on it. When Zhao Zhongyao saw the big rock, he immediately called Feifei to climb onto the big rock together.
When the two of them climbed onto this big rock, they felt much safer. After all, they are standing on a big stone two or three meters high. It is not so easy for the big centipede and the big scorpion to attack them.
When Feifei felt safe, he began to watch the two big monsters fighting in front of him. Of these two big monsters, one is a big centipede. One is a large scorpion. These two big monsters are also one of the five poisons. Now these two big monsters started to fight in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
The two big monsters are about the same size. Moreover, they are all wearing armor. It can be said that the strength of the two of them is also comparable.
When these two big monsters were fighting, Feifei felt that he and his father were safer now. So, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked, Dad, can you tell me the story of this prehistoric giant scorpion now. '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Okay, then let me tell you some stories about prehistoric giant scorpions! '
The prehistoric giant scorpion was the largest arthropod that lived in the oceans 400 million years ago. The body of this giant scorpion is 2.5 meters long, far exceeding the height of a human being, and its weight is close to 200 kilograms.
Since this kind of scorpion lives in the ocean, this kind of prehistoric giant scorpion can only be said to be a kind of sea scorpion.
Sea scorpions appeared in the Devonian Period of the Paleozoic Era about 400 million years ago. They often lurk in shallow water, looking for small fish, trilobites and other animals in the sediment, sometimes even their own kind. For about 10 million years of ocean life, this giant claw-wielding guy was the dominant one, and early marine vertebrates posed no threat to it at all.
Some geologists believe that the reason why sea scorpions can "grow" to such a large size is related to the high oxygen content in the ancient air. Others believe that they grew up in an "arms race" with prey, kin and natural enemies, because the bigger the body, the safer it is. But the era of the sea scorpion is over when top predators like the nautilus, the 11-meter-long behemoths that eat them, come to an end.
After losing the supremacy of the ocean, in order to avoid predators, marine arthropods began to turn their attention to land. Experts believe that the long-extinct sea scorpion is the marine ancestor of all spider arthropods today, and its descendants include scorpions, spiders, mites, lice and so on.
Later on land, another giant scorpion appeared, called the Blondu scorpion. This kind of scorpion may be the giant land scorpion that evolved from the sea scorpion after it landed.
The Blondu scorpion, also known as the thunder scorpion, is a kind of aquatic scorpion of the Silurian period. Brondus scorpions were like modern-day scorpions, but were larger and had larger compound eyes. They were an important predator of the large animals that lived at the time.
During the Devonian period about 370 million years ago, due to climate changes, many forms of organisms began to undergo new changes. As the temperature continued to rise, many large algae plants began to flourish and grew extremely fast, and amphibians began to emerge. appeared, and the Brondo scorpion was the top predator produced during this period. It has a thick thorn, which is particularly sharp, which can help it hunt prey with ease between land and sea. In addition, the Blondu scorpion has a stinger the size of a light bulb.
The Brondo scorpion is a huge 3-meter-long scorpion with huge gills and thick spines. The gills and lungs of the Brondo scorpion are composed of hundreds of layers of thin and thin tissue, which can transport oxygen to the blood through this tissue structure.
Thanks to this anti-hypoxic system, and armored against sun exposure, it is able to forage for food on land along the coast. We may have all seen scorpions, but such a large scorpion may only be seen in movies and fossils, because the Blondo sea scorpion became the first animal to move from the sea to land, which is a great leap in the history of biological evolution.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and told some stories about prehistoric giant scorpions. After hearing the story told by his father, Feifei said, 'Dad, what kind of scorpion is this big scorpion in front of you? '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, "It should be a kind of prehistoric giant scorpion like the earth-Brondu scorpion!" '
'Dad, it seems that the scorpions from the earth have come to Mercury. From this point of view, we seem to have returned to the earth hundreds of millions of years ago. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
‘You are right. In fact, the process of us humans coming out of the earth and heading to other planets is a process of going back to history. We are walking back along the long river of history, and everything we see is the same as the earth in ancient times. '
Zhao Zhongyao felt that it didn't matter whether they had reached Venus or Mercury now. It's almost like going back to the prehistoric times of the earth. After all, different planets, they all more or less retain the appearance of the prehistoric earth.
‘Dad, tell me if this big scorpion can defeat this big centipede. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked.
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘How do I know. We will know the result after watching it for a while. '
