Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight came into the mountain basin––and Lin Ke was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
12 Evolution Points were stacked up tidily in the middle of the camp. Ming Yao was smiling so broadly his eyes couldn’t be seen, and the head of a giant creature popped out of the dense forest off in the distance. It had a narrow head, and a body that was nearly ten meters long. Its two short hands were dark green with a back that was mottled with orange patterns––
The largest herbivore in the Triassic period that symbolized the ecological peak of its time, the Plateosaurus.
Lin Ke was shocked into a daze. By the time he looked up again, there was a dark shadow in the sky. “Brother Ming, what’s that? Where’s brother Wu?”
Ming Yao pointed at the Evolution Points, “We put in 26 points yesterday, and they returned 12 back to us. It should be that we’ve almost reached the top of the evolutionary chain. As for Wu Jin,” he said, pointing towards the jungle, “He’s raising a Pterosaur over there!”
At the edge of the jungle, Wu Jin had pulled out a rope from somewhere and tied it to the small feet of the Pterosaur. He would occasionally give it some slack and sometimes reel it back in. He even ran after it in delight.
Ming Yao watched for a while, “How come it looks like a child flying a kite?”
Lin Ke murmured, “It seems like the kite is flying Brother Wu...”
The Pterosaur’s wingspan was no more than 60 cm, and it might be one of the most primitive types of Pterosaur. It couldn’t fly too high and could only flutter up and down.
As soon as it was time, Wu Jin picked up a small food bowl and clanged against it. The Pterosaur wanted to keep flying, but was shocked to find itself carefully reeled back in by Wu Jin via the nylon rope. Two fragrant roasted lizards rested on the fern leaves. It looked around at everyone, then finally headed towards the meat.
“Is this dinosaur training?!” Ming Yao looked at the small food bowl in Wu Jin’s hand.
Wu Jin nodded, “Building up conditioned reflexes. Pavlov once performed a series of experiments...”
Ming Yao tore off a chunk of roasted meat and listened. Suddenly, he stretched out a hand, wanting to poke the Pterosaur’s wings––but he was shocked into pulling back by its squawks.
This was a Peteinosaurus that was halfway to adulthood. As the first vertebrate that could ascend up to the skies, it was very beautiful––specifically speaking, its body was a mess of color.
Wu Jin was obviously very interested in it.
The next day, after consuming another small amount of Evolution Points, the ecology flourished further, and the second batch of Pterosaurs appeared as expected. For the first time, Ming Yao traded points in for a 100 meter sniper thrust gun, while Wu Jin traded for armor and a small amount of ammunition. The reward in the supply box had increased to 54 Evolution Points.
On the third day.
Ming Yao crouched on the ground and was fully dedicated to counting dragons. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky in shock, “That one... the wingspan is one point five meters, right? Is it one of ours?”
Sora was dazed, “It doesn’t seem to be...”
Ming Yao leapt up with a swish, “There are other teams that have cultivated Pterosaurs!! I’m going to go find Little Witch!”
Very quickly, Wu Jin appeared with a small food bowl in hand. The four of them made a unanimous decision.
Leave the valley.
