Chapter 1,780 Giant-veined Dragonfly

But at this critical moment, something suddenly seemed to appear in the sky, and a huge shadow shrouded the battlefield.

When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked at the entire battlefield, a huge shadow suddenly appeared, and they quickly looked up.

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei saw a very huge monster suddenly appear in the sky. However, it looked like a dragonfly on earth. Two huge transparent wings were in the sky.

Trembling, you can easily maintain your body's balance.

The wingspan of the two wings is about two to three meters. The body is about one meter long. The whole appearance really looks like a dragonfly on the earth. The color of the body is yellow and the head is black. There are some long ones on the body.

of cilia.

The body is very similar to that of dragonflies on Earth. It has a big round head and an elongated body. On top of its big round head, there is a big mouth with two huge sharp tips.

Pointed teeth.

As soon as he saw this thing, Feifei exclaimed, 'What kind of monster is this? Why is it similar to the dragonflies on our earth?'

Of course, Zhao Zhongyao also saw the monster flying over. When he took a closer look, he knew what kind of monster it was.

‘This should be a dragonfly with giant veins.’ Zhao Zhongyao said suddenly.

As soon as Feifei heard what his father said, he curiously asked, 'Dad, what are you talking about? This monster is called a giant dragonfly. What is a giant dragonfly? Does dad know much about this kind of monster?'

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Of course, I also know a lot about this kind of monster. Let me tell you some knowledge about this giant-veined dragonfly!'

'Okay, I also want to know what this kind of monster is.' Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

Next, Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some knowledge about giant dragonflies.

The giant-veined dragonfly, also known as the giant-tailed dragonfly or the giant-tailed dragonfly, is an insect that lived in the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago. It is similar in appearance to modern dragonflies. Its wingspan is 75 centimeters, which is the largest known insect on earth.

It was the largest insect species in history, but it became extinct as early as 250 million years ago in the Permian. It feeds on other insects and small amphibians.

How the giant-veined dragonfly could grow to such a huge size during the Carboniferous Period has always been a focus of discussion, because the way oxygen diffuses into the insect's body through the trachea would limit their size, but the size of this prehistoric insect exceeded this limit.

.Initially, it was said that the giant dragonfly was able to fly because oxygen was in the atmosphere at that time.

This theory was initially rejected, but studies on the relationship between macrosomia and oxygen availability have confirmed this theory. If this theory is correct, the extinction of giant-veined dragonflies may be due to falling oxygen levels.

Caused, and it is certain that they cannot survive in today's environment.

The giant dragonfly has a wingspan of 2.5 feet (0.75 meters), and scientists believe it mainly eats other flying and crawling insects, and even some smaller early amphibians.

The body of ancient centipede insects can stretch up to 8.5 feet (2.6 meters). They may eat both plants and small animals. The leader among them is a kind of eury-winged horseshoe crab? It lived between 460 million and 255 million years ago.

It may have fed on our original marine ancestors before, but also on other things they encountered. They could have grown up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) long?

It is the largest arthropod in the history of biological evolution on earth.

Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei some knowledge about this giant-veined dragonfly. After listening to it, Feifei had a general understanding of this giant-veined dragonfly.

'Dad? So? This is also a very ferocious prehistoric animal.' Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Yes, this is a ferocious ancient animal. It is the largest insect in history discovered by humans.'

'Then what does this giant-veined dragonfly do here? Does it want to eat these big spiders?' Feifei thought? At this time, such a large giant-veined dragonfly suddenly appeared? It must be rushing.

Came here with these big spiders.

'That's right? This big dragonfly must be coming for these big spiders. These spiders may be the prey of this big dragonfly.' Zhao Zhongyao thought the same way.

Just when Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were saying this, this giant-veined dragonfly had already begun to attack these big spiders on the ground. These big spiders originally wanted to fight in groups. Here, they were originally going to

There was a war. But when this giant-veined dragonfly appeared, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed.

When these big spiders saw a big monster appearing in the sky, they began to flee in all directions. These dozens of big spiders no longer wanted to fight in groups. They immediately began to flee in all directions.

Of course, they all ran towards the cave under the rock where they had been hiding before. The metallic blue spider ran towards the cave under the rock where they had just been. The giant crab spider also ran towards the cave under the rock where they had just been.

.

Now these two groups of spiders no longer care about fighting. Are natural enemies coming? They have to run away quickly. Whoever runs slowly will definitely become the prey of the natural enemies.

These big spiders are now running away, each running towards the cave where they stayed before. However, the entrance of the cave can only accommodate one big spider. So many spiders all swarmed to the entrance of the cave at once. If you want to go in, you must

It's not that easy.

As a result, this area became a place where spiders fled in panic. But because the hole was too small, only one of these big spiders could pass through at a time. In this way, many big spiders had no time to escape into the hole.

.

This time, the giant-veined dragonfly created an opportunity. The giant-veined dragonfly now began to massacre. It jumped directly to the ground and bit a metallic blue spider in one fell swoop. But it did not immediately take the prey with it.

It flew away, killed the prey, and then continued to bite the second one. It seemed that this was still a greedy guy.

Those big spiders that had not yet run into the cave also hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave. However, the giant dragonfly was not polite and blocked the entrance of the cave directly. Seeing those big spiders running to the entrance of the cave, he rudely yelled

The killing begins.

Just when this giant-veined dragonfly was catching its prey, suddenly several huge shadows appeared on the ground. Soon, several giant-veined dragonflies flew over from a distance. It seemed that they

Everyone knew that there was a group of big spiders here. So, they all came to share this feast.

At first, they all ate some big spiders. After all, when they first arrived, not all the big spiders here had escaped into the cave. They still had a chance to catch these big spiders. But after a while, these big spiders

Almost all the spiders ran into the cave. There weren't many left.

At this time, there was too much food. It was impossible for these giant-veined dragonflies to eat all the prey. So, they started fighting together.

They not only fought with each other, but also started fighting immediately. Originally, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei wanted to see the two groups of giant spiders fight. But now it turned into several giant dragonflies fighting here.

Once these giant-veined dragonflies started fighting here, they created convenient conditions for the big spiders that had not yet escaped, and they immediately took the opportunity to slip into the cave next to them.

When these giant-veined dragonflies reacted, the big spiders had already disappeared. When they saw that the big spiders were gone, they seemed to be blaming each other.

These big dragonflies started to fight again. At first they were fighting on the ground, and then they slowly flew into the sky again.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei originally wanted to see the big spiders fighting in groups. But what they didn't expect was that several huge giant-veined dragonflies suddenly appeared. After these giant-veined dragonflies appeared, they killed the two groups of big spiders.

Scared away.

But the scene of these big dragonflies fighting in the sky is also very shocking. This kind of scene is definitely very rare.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked at this shocking scene and felt very shocked. After all, this kind of huge dragonfly does not exist on the earth at all. This is a species that existed on the earth hundreds of millions of years ago.

But this kind of species that has long been extinct on the earth has reappeared on Mercury. This is really amazing.

Just watching these big dragonflies fighting was not interesting. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, "Dad, do we have to leave here quickly? If these big dragonflies find us, will they come up?"

Bite us. Will they regard us as prey?

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'That's right, we'd better take the opportunity to escape quickly! Who knows whether these big dragonflies will attack us.'

After saying that, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei quickly ran past the big rock next to them. The two of them were hiding next to the big rock just now.

Now Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei saw that these big dragonflies were still fighting there, so they ran away quickly.

Originally, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei thought that they looked different from those big spiders. These big dragonflies probably wouldn't like them too much.

Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were not particularly worried when they walked forward. They just thought that those big dragonflies were still fighting there just now, and they would definitely not notice them.

But what they didn't expect was that they had only run ten meters away. These big dragonflies suddenly discovered Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

As soon as they saw such a big prey, these big dragonflies seemed to suddenly become interested. After all, they were competing for food just now. As a result, the big spiders hid in the caves.

As soon as these big spiders hide in the cave, the big dragonflies are helpless. After all, it is impossible for these big dragonflies to move those big rocks. Those big rocks weigh hundreds of tons. Let alone

These big dragonflies, even if a few elephants come, can't move those big rocks.

After these big dragonflies saw the big spiders hiding in the big rocks, they had no choice but to blame each other and then started fighting. They didn't want to eat the big spiders anymore, they just wanted to compete among themselves first.

But what they didn't expect was that there were two huge 'prey' hidden next to the big rock. And they were huge prey that they had never seen before.

Although these two 'prey' were a bit strange. I had never seen these two big dragonflies before. But they had not eaten a few big spiders just now, so they were probably still hungry. I saw two more dragonflies running out from next to the big rock.

Just upright 'monsters'. They are not polite.

So, when Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei ran more than ten meters away, these big dragonflies suddenly began to chase Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

When Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei saw this situation, they felt that the situation was not good. Even Qu Yuqian and Tiantian, who were sitting in the spacecraft, quickly looked at Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei and started shouting.

‘Zhongyao, Feifei, hide quickly, those big dragonflies are chasing you.’ Qu Yuqian immediately began to remind Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.

‘Dad, brother, you have to be careful. These big dragonflies are starting to attack you.’ I started to remind my dad and brother every day.

When Zhao Zhongyao saw this situation, he had no choice but to look at Feifei and said, 'Feifei, let's hide behind the big rock.'

Zhao Zhongyao saw that there were a lot of big rocks in this place. Although there was not much green grass on the ground, there were still a lot of big rocks on the ground. It was almost like a stone forest. These stones were also in strange shapes. What shapes did they have?

All.

Feifei also saw a huge strange-shaped boulder next to him, so he and his father hurriedly hid behind the big boulder. Behind the big boulder, there were some tall shrub-like trees growing.

of plants.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei quickly got into these bushes. In this way, they were safer.

Because when these big dragonflies flew in front of them, they could not find them. But these big dragonflies seemed to be unwilling to go home, so they started looking for them again.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were hiding in the bushes. They didn't dare to come out for fear of being discovered by these big dragonflies.

These big dragonflies were flying around on the spot. They seemed to feel something strange. Just now they clearly saw two "monsters" running upright running to this place. But when they flew over, they couldn't find them.

Those two 'monsters' running upright.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei were hiding in this bush. They carefully observed the movements outside. They just wanted to see if these big dragonflies would find them. If they found them, they would think

ways to deal with them.
