Ji Ran frowned and gave up the idea of ​​learning from Feng Yishu.

——Although this person is indeed very skilled and has a righteous mind, he is a rich man after all, and his behavior is so frivolous... not worth learning.

Xiaoqi pushed Ji Ran and continued forward.

The two walked through a low door and exclaimed at the same time - a huge dragon fossil in front of them was looking down at the entrance from a high place.

Xiaoqi stopped and looked up at the giant dragon with only skeletons. Its wing bones were closed backwards, maintaining a diving posture. The long tail vertebrae was thrown behind him in a straight line, revealing sharp teeth to the person who came.

"This is the Gozubird," the old man said with a smile, "The route we take is not very particular. It is said that this place should be the starting point for our travels."

"……Why?"

"Because the time here is farthest from us." The old man looked at the dragon bone, "This geological bird has been around for 72 million years. In this area, it is still a young man."

Seventy-two million...years.

Xiaoqi held his breath.

She suddenly remembered the 3,700-year-old fake phoenix that Sister had killed before. When the monster was born, it was in an ancient era that could not be recorded in official history.

That was a long time...

However, compared with the ancient remains of Chen Fang here, what is three thousand years worth?

If this is still young, then the other paleobi here...

Xiaoqi couldn't help but put away his smile and looked at the bones on all sides with a little awe.

She pushed Ji Ran and passed by the scene of this continent tens of millions of years ago without saying a word.

Looking at everything around her, a little sadness suddenly arose in her heart.

Life has death, and practice shortness and transformation.

These few decades of scenery are like a fun night of lights, and the end is over... How can people not be sad for a moment?

"Hmm?" Ji Ran's eyes were suddenly attracted by a pair of snail-shaped fossils nearby, "Is that Nautilus?"

Xiaoqi followed his gaze and saw that the surfaces of the pair of snail-shaped fossils had been polished very smoothly, and the patterns on them showed curved arcs of equiangular spirals.

Xiaoqi didn't recognize these, and everything here was not labeled or explained. She walked to Ji Ran and leaned over to look at the things in front of her.

"...It should be, right?" Xiaoqi replied uncertainly.

Ji Ran looked at Xiaoqi's side face, and time seemed to have frozen. The moment when the breath was about to pass became as long as a lifetime.

He saw a strand of hair slowly scattering in Xiaoqi's ears? It hung beside her cheeks.

She frowned and fell into deep thought? Her eyes were only half open under her long eyelashes? The firelight in the distance coated her outline with an orange halo.

In this quiet and empty underground palace, the two were not far apart? Ji Ran looked at Xiaoqi's silhouette and suddenly felt a premonition that "she was about to look at herself" emerged from the bottom of his heart. He immediately looked away? He looked at the snail-shaped fossil in front of him again.

The next moment, Xiao Qi really looked sideways, but her eyes passed by Ji Ran and looked at the old man not far behind him.

"Old man! Can you come here? Is this thing - Nautilus?"

The old man walked closer and took a look? “No.”

"Although it is a bit similar to the nautilus? But this is an ammonite. In terms of kinship, it is closer to the octopus. When it is alive, it lives in the upper layer of the sea water and will sink after death - this pair of ammonites was excavated from an evaporating sea area? When it is dug out, it is a pair."

"Amygdala..." Xiaoqi blinked, and what suddenly came to her mind? "How many years have this pair of ammonites been around?"

The old man thought for a while, "It should be...160 million years."

Xiaoqi and Ji Ran sighed at the same time.

160 million years have passed? The pair of ammonites are still together.

"It's so good." Xiaoqi murmured.

"Come with me quickly," the old man smiled? "They all went to the next underground palace."

"Old man? I want to ask? The names, habits, discovery places and eras of these things... do you remember them directly in your mind? Are there any pictures or albums?"

"No, these are ancient monsters, why do you think the names are on paper?" the old man smiled, "but someone has tried to do this before... In short, something will happen."

Xiaoqi tilted his head, "What's going to happen?"

The old man smiled, without answering, but just left with his hands on his back.

Xiaoqi pushed Ji Ran and quickly caught up with Feng Yishu and Ayu. However, when she stepped into the room, she suddenly felt that she was in a bad state. There were dense insects nailed to the walls on all sides, and there were many beautiful dragonflies and butterflies in them. However, when these beautiful things were placed together with the green-glowed carapace, everything seemed dangerous and terrifying.

"Xiao Qi! Come to see this!" Feng Yishu shouted at her.

Xiaoqi walked through the corridor with a numb scalp, "...what are you looking at? What's the good thing about this?"

"Have you not seen the wild spirits? There is something here that allows you to see the wild spirits," Feng Yishu pointed to the insect in front of him, "Have you heard of the wild spirit firefly?"

Xiaoqi shook his head, "A kind of firefly?"

"It looks like it, but they are monsters, and they are almost the only insect monster that feeds on wild spirits. The wild spirits eaten by wild spirit fireflies will still brighten and become visible to the naked eye, and will not hurt people's eyes anymore."

Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, "Ah! Then I've seen it!"

"Hmm?" Feng Yishu turned around strangely, "This thing is rare, where have you seen it?"

"It's not a wild spirit firefly, but a wild spirit that has been processed and can be seen directly at the naked eye. I have seen it in my aunt's Six Talisman Garden."

——The halos that imitate stars in the dark stone chamber will never be forgotten once.

"Why is it rare?" Xiaoqi asked.

"Because wild spirit fireflies only appear in spring and summer every year," the old man added, "they capture wild spirits not just for consumption, but for finding a mate."

“Looking for a spouse?”

"Yes, because the wild spirit fireflies themselves do not shine, but the female insects can temporarily gain the ability to shine by eating wild spirits," the old man whispered, "Every female insect has its own glowing rhythm, and the male insects will identify who their kind through these glowing frequencies - they will be attracted by female insects of specific frequencies."

"So that's how it is... so magical," Xiaoqi nodded. She approached a little later and pointed to a slightly larger wild spirit firefly nearby. "Is this also a wild spirit firefly? Why is it so big?"

The old man laughed, "That's indeed a wild spirit firefly, but it has a special name, called the Witch Firefly."

The other three people felt novel for a moment and turned to look at the old man.

"Generally speaking, after mating, female insects will immediately drill into the ground to lay eggs. They have insect sacs on their abdomen that are specially used to store pulp, which is enough to make them survive the long laying period."

"However, some female insects will not immediately get into the soil after finding their spouse," the old man said slowly. "They will continue to stop on the branches to capture wild spirits, and then change their luminous frequency until another male insect is deceived by the light..."

Feng Yishu was stunned for a moment, "...are you cheating on marriage?"

The old man shook his head, "It's not just a cheating marriage. When the male insect was deceived by this light, he thought that when he found a similar type, the female insect would bite its head, eat its body, and eat the male insect cleanly. Therefore, the witch firefly is even bigger than other wild spirit firefly."

The old man looked at the young people in front of him, "The world of monsters is cruel."
