I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Zhaoyang Ruyue felt as if she had stepped on a banana peel and was falling uncontrollably!

"Oh my god! What's going on?!" Before she could react, the sticky mud had already reached her knees.

"Help! What kind of hell is this place!" She struggled desperately to pull her legs out, but she sank deeper and deeper, and the mud had reached her thighs!

"It's over, it's over, Barbie Q is gone! Now I'm really like a beggar chicken!" She wanted to cry but had no tears, and countless "ifs" flashed through her mind: If only I hadn't followed her in the first place!

If only I ran slower!

in case……

Just when she was almost in despair, a sudden flash of inspiration came to her, and she remembered the record about the swamp she had seen in the archaeological literature: Never struggle, move your body slowly!

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and followed the descriptions in the literature, relaxing her body, trying to expand the contact area as much as possible, and moving backwards little by little like a caterpillar.

"One, two, one, two, one..." She silently encouraged herself in her heart. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and her whole body was covered with mud. She looked like a mud figure.

She didn't know how long it took, but just when she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, finally!

Her feet touched solid ground!

"Yes! I survived!" She was so excited that she almost cried. She used up her last bit of strength to climb ashore, collapsed on the ground, and gasped for breath.

"It's so good to be alive!" She sighed as she looked at the sparkling river in front of her.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the riverside... "Who?!" She sat up suddenly and looked around vigilantly.

Zhaoyang Ruyue collapsed on the river bank, feeling like a puddle of mud.

"Fortunately, I am lucky and have a long life, otherwise I would have become a fossil!" She wiped the mud off her face, feeling fortunate that she had escaped.

After resting for a while, she struggled to her feet and prepared to continue looking for her teammates.

The river before me was fast-flowing and wide, but beneath the shimmering waves lay hidden dangers.

"Oh my god, there won't be any prehistoric giant crocodiles in this water, right?" Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, and terrifying images of various ancient beasts emerged in her mind.

She approached the river cautiously and observed the water carefully.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the water!

"Oh my god! There really is a crocodile!" She took a few steps back in fright, her heart pounding.

Now it’s impossible to cross the river to find teammates. This is simply giving away lives!

Just when she was at a loss, she glanced at the muddy ground by the river and suddenly found some messy footprints.

"Wait! These footprints..." She squatted down and identified them carefully, "These shoe prints... seem to be Tianlong's! And... Ruyue's! Could they have been here?" The flame of hope rekindled in her heart.

She followed the footprints, which extended to the river and then... disappeared.

Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart was in suspense again.

Did they cross the river?

But this river...

"Who's there?!" a rough voice suddenly sounded.

Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart was almost beating out of her throat!

There are really big ones in this river!

No sooner said than done, a giant crocodile, more than two meters long and covered with hard scales, jumped out of the river like an armored vehicle, and rushed towards Zhaoyang Ruyue with its bloody mouth!

"Oh my god! They're serious!" Zhaoyang Ruyue screamed and rolled to the side reflexively, barely avoiding the crocodile's fatal attack.

"Did I provoke you in my past life?!"

Coincidentally, at this critical moment, a tall and mighty figure rushed out from the woods nearby.

He was holding a sharpened wooden spear and shooting it at the giant crocodile like an arrow, shouting, "Evil beast! Stop your rampage!" This appearance was definitely that of a hero saving a damsel in distress!

This man was Zheng Xiongxiong. He was patrolling by the river, but he didn't expect to witness this thrilling scene.

He was very agile and had a thrilling fight with the giant crocodile.

The crocodile swung its thick tail wildly, trying to knock Zheng Xiongxiong down, but Zheng Xiongxiong dodged as nimbly as a loach, and the spear in his hand was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, constantly stabbing at the crocodile's eyes.

The giant crocodile felt pain and let out a deafening roar, and its blood dyed the river red.

It seemed to realize that the opponent in front of it was not easy to deal with, so it retreated back into the river unwillingly, leaving only a few ripples slowly rippling.

Zheng Xiongxiong then turned around and his eyes fell on Zhaoyang Ruyue. He looked her up and down and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue had not yet recovered from the shock. She patted the dust off her body and said calmly, "Thank you for saving my life, brave man! I am..." She paused, suddenly realized her current situation, and immediately changed her words, "I am... passing by." But she was thinking in her heart: With this look and this accent, could he be a warrior from some ancient tribe?

Could it be that I have traveled through time to some primitive society?

Zheng Xiongxiong obviously didn't believe what she said, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

He gripped the spear tightly in his hand and approached Zhaoyang Ruyue step by step: "Passing by? I don't think so..." He suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the muddy ground under Zhaoyang Ruyue's feet, "These footprints..."

Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

Pretending to be mysterious, she approached Zheng Xiongxiong and said in a low voice, "Brave man, let me tell you the truth. I'm an explorer from a mysterious organization! We're on a top-secret mission, and my teammates are separated. I have to find them!"

Zheng Xiongxiong looked confused, obviously not understanding what "mysterious organization" and "top secret mission" meant.

He scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Mysterious... organization? What is that?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue’s inner monologue: It’s over, this generation gap in communication is deeper than the Mariana Trench!

But on the surface, she still maintained the composure of a "senior explorer". She cleared her throat and explained, "It's just... we are a group of very powerful people, specializing in exploring the unknown world! My teammates also have special skills. Have you seen them? About this tall..." She gestured with her hands, "A man, very tall and strong, like you; and a woman, about the same height as you, looks... extremely beautiful!" She secretly glanced at Zheng Xiongxiong's reaction, hoping to resonate with him.

Zheng Xiongxiong frowned, as if trying hard to understand what she said.

He pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I haven't seen them... However, there are indeed a few strange people hanging around these days. Could they be the... teammates you mentioned?"

Zhaoyang Ruyue became excited when she heard this: "Really?! Where are they?!"

Zheng Xiongxiong pointed to the lower reaches of the river: "I saw them heading that way... But it's very dangerous there, there are many wild animals..."

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked in the direction of Zheng Xiongxiong's finger and saw the river winding and disappearing into a dense jungle.

What is hidden there?

Are her teammates safe?

"Brave man," Zhaoyang Ruyue said with a firm look, "Please take me there!"

Zheng Xiongxiong looked at her determined eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, but..." He paused, his expression solemn, "You have to promise me that you will follow my instructions in all actions!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue agreed without hesitation.

The two were about to set off when Zheng Xiongxiong's expression suddenly changed and he looked up at the sky... "Wait!"
