Prehistoric Evolution: Your Uncle Crocodile Makes a Stunning Appearance
Chapter 4: The Dinosaur Dynasty
Meanwhile, Wang Lin looked at the room in front of him, seemingly expressionless, but in reality, he had been unconscious for quite some time.
As expected, he still shouldn't eat too much staple food. He's already a civilization observer, with an extremely prestigious status. He can eat his fill of lobster from now on.
Just then, a light screen appeared in front of Wang Lin, with lines of text flashing on it.
[Blue Star Online Update Announcement.]
[The current game node is the Triassic period.]
[We detected that the developers nerfed the game too drastically in the last version, and we are actively adjusting the balance in this version.]
[The variety of species will increase dramatically, and their power will become even more terrifying. Welcome to the Age of Dinosaurs!!!]
[To compensate the observers of the previous version who have already been reincarnated, the developers will grant all observers of this round three viewing cards of the peak period of life species, as well as three intervention cards.]
[Once you've chosen your desired species, you can use an observation card to obtain the species' peak evolutionary form.]
When a species you're observing faces a crisis or you're dissatisfied with its trajectory, you can use interference cards to influence its historical process, even its evolutionary direction! However, the scope of interference is limited, and indiscriminate interference is not possible.
[If conflicts arise among civilized observers when selecting species, the choice will still be made through the most primitive method of individual combat.]
Each observer can only choose one species to observe. If someone else has already chosen a species, you will not be able to choose one. Therefore, when you encounter a species you like, don't hesitate; act first!
【…】
Upon seeing the game node, Wang Lin's mind was already filled with images of numerous powerful species.
For example, if you choose a sauropod dinosaur, it will later evolve into Brachiosaurus or Diplodocus, the largest land creatures in the history of Earth.
Although they are all herbivores, they will never be bullied.
Alternatively, you could choose the seemingly weak Eoraptor, which will actually evolve into the most ferocious king of dinosaurs – the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
They chose to become the dominant species in the ocean, even though their presence was not strong, their strength far surpassed that of the dinosaurs on land.
In an instant, countless answers flashed through Wang Lin's mind.
Perhaps this is the dilemma of geniuses: they can choose anything they want, making the choice a little difficult.
It made him so conflicted that he developed an indecisiveness.
At this moment, not only Wang Lin can see the information on the light screen, but people all over the world can see it.
People had a variety of opinions after seeing the updated announcement.
"This dog game is actually quite human-like; knowing that the previous round was too difficult, it even gave us compensation."
"Giving them observation cards is a good thing, but the question is, can our athletes compete with athletes from other countries?"
"I see that the athletes selected by other countries are quite strong, there are even boxers. What should we do if they run into our country's athletes?"
"What else can we do? We have no choice but to strike first."
"Hopefully, this kid will be lucky and choose a powerful carnivore!"
"It makes me sad to talk about this. The Gyrodont we chose in the last round was so powerful; it had already become the dominant species in the Permian. It's such a pity!"
"..."
Although people don't have high hopes for Wang Lin, who is still in a daze, they can only place their hopes on him and silently pray that he can win the game.
A single natural disaster can cause irreparable damage. If it happens again, even the vast and resource-rich Dragon Kingdom will not be able to withstand it!
[Blue Star Online's new version has finished loading. A preview of the new version is about to play, with an estimated duration of 100 minutes.]
As the mechanical sound rang out, a new image appeared on the light screen in front of Wang Lin.
The same scene was also broadcast live from various celestial screens on Earth.
Wow, there's even a loading animation.
The Triassic period, more than 200 million years ago, was a primitive era in which the earth was just awakening from its dead silence.
The mass extinction that devoured almost all life is long gone, and the Pangu continent, like a complete and cold giant beast, lies in the embrace of the vast ocean.
The interior of the mainland has no crisscrossing rivers or lush forests, only endless crimson deserts where gale-force winds howl endlessly, sweeping across bare rocks and leaving them riddled with holes.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, baking the earth to a scorching heat. The temperature difference between day and night was huge. The daytime was unbearably hot, while the nighttime was bitterly cold. The air was filled with dust and dryness, and the oxygen was thin. Every breath was hot and dry.
Only on the edge of the continent and along the coast of the Tethys Ocean can one barely find a semblance of life.
Seasonal torrential rains occasionally descend, washing away shallow valleys and wetlands. Drought-resistant gymnosperms desperately take root, while cycads, ginkgo, and pines grow crookedly. They lack the dense, towering forests of later generations, instead forming clusters of low-lying thickets that provide scattered greenery amidst the desolation, becoming the only signs of life on this wild land.
The morning mist drifts over the valley, marking the gentlest moment of the Triassic period.
The bulky water dragons moved slowly along the edge of the wetlands. They were creatures that survived from the Permian period. Their bodies resembled round hippos, with short, thick limbs supporting their heavy bodies. They clumsily ate low-lying ferns, their eyes blank and dull. They were the most common creatures on this land.
They travel in groups, their panting echoing through the silent valley, completely unaware of the dangers around them.
A deadly intent had been lurking in the shadows of the rocks not far away.
The earliest dinosaurs quietly appeared. Unlike their later Jurassic and Cretaceous counterparts, they did not have huge bodies. They were only one or two meters tall, with slender and agile bodies, strong hind limbs, short forelimbs, and tails to maintain their balance.
The Southern Cross Dragon lowered its body, its sharp eyes fixed on the lone Water Dragon Beast. Its muscles tensed, and it suddenly leaped out, its steps light and swift, leaving a series of shallow claw marks on the crimson earth.
With its sharp teeth, it is a newly emerging predator on this land. Although it has not yet reached the top of the food chain, it has already shown the potential to become a future overlord.
In the air, the earliest pterosaurs spread their thin, membranous wings and skimmed over the sparse treetops. They were not birds, yet they were the first to conquer the sky, gliding clumsily through the air currents, preying on insects in the forest, their clear calls breaking the silence of the desert.
In the shallow waters of the valley, primitive fish swam with their tails wagging. Phantom dragons and ichthyosaurs gradually moved from the land to the sea, their limbs evolving into fins, allowing them to nimbly dart through the water and chase their prey. The ocean slowly returned to its former bustling state.
At that time, the ancestors of mammals were insignificant beings.
They resemble mice, hiding in caves and crevices, living at night and feeding on insects. They live cautiously in the shadow of reptiles, with fine fur and a constant body temperature, silently accumulating the power of life in this cruel and wild world.
The Triassic era was devoid of gentle poetry, only a brutal struggle for survival.
Where deserts and jungles intertwine, life struggles to recover in extreme environments, with every species desperately adapting and searching for life in the desolation.
Over the years, the continent of Pangaea slowly underwent a transformation, with the undercurrents of supervolcanoes surging underground, and the small dinosaurs that were just beginning to show their prowess constantly evolving in the struggle for survival.
This was a wild, desolate yet hopeful era, the prelude to the age of dinosaurs.
The earth shed the shadow of death, and life tenaciously took root anew, writing the most primitive and wild evolutionary epic among the red sand and green forests, laying the initial groundwork for the dinosaur dynasty that would last for hundreds of millions of years!
