Still alive 200 million years ago

The demon dragon never expected that there would be a dragon so ungrateful that he would snatch the food that his disabled old comrade worked so hard to get. If it hadn't had weak teeth now, it would definitely teach this little guy how to be a dragon.

After flying at a low altitude to catch a piece of bat pterosaur meat, Xu Dong continued to move downstream of the river without stopping.

Before it gets dark, he wants to fly downstream along the river and take a quick trip.

Pangea was so big that Xu Dong wanted to see it.

Although it has been tens of millions of years since he came to the Triassic, he has not traveled to many places in total, and he only traveled a lot when he first evolved into the little red dragon.

Now that he has wings, he can look around and ignore the troubles of his race. This time he wants to do it for himself.

Set a small goal first, fly all the way along the river to the sea, and look for the former habitat. The large cedar forest is right on the Tethys Sea, so it should be easy to find.

Although 20 million years is a long time, it is almost impossible for living things to migrate unless there is pressure from expansion and survival. The little red dragon back then was simply a special case.

Find the original habitat, remember the past, and then continue walking along the coastline. This time he will fly to Asia to take a look at the current situation of his motherland. It is said that there is the land of abundance in the Triassic.

Moreover, he can also complete several goals that Xu Dong set before and obtain more diverse components.

After flying for several kilometers, of course, I rested more than a dozen times during this period. After all, the long-distance flight ability of feather scale wings is not as good as that of pterosaur wings. Finally, I arrived at the place where the river branched. The wide river formed a waterfall here.

Xu Dong didn't pay much attention at first, but when he flew above the waterfall, he suddenly became energetic.

Because this waterfall is so spectacular!

Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.

The vertical height is nearly 100 meters, the three-tiered waterfall has a huge amount of water, which is not as good as the Jiuqu Yellow River and Huangguoshu Waterfall.

And on a waterfall at such a height, there are actually many fish swimming upstream. What kind of spirit is this? Is it like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate?

Oh, they are here to lay eggs. It will be a gluttonous feast that benefits both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Xu Dong rode the wind and descended to the bottom of the waterfall. Sure enough, there were a bunch of predators waiting for a feast of fish and meat from the sky.

The river below the waterfall is divided into nine tributaries. In the center of the branched tributaries, there is an open space of several hundred square meters. The dark patch of flat land is filled with dozens of plant dragons basking in the sun and waiting for fish.

Among the dozens of phytosaurs, one is the most eye-catching, because this one is really too big. The other crocodiles are only close to four meters long, but this one is twelve meters long.

Darling, you are not a fake legend again, are you? I'm so lucky that I can't bear it. I can't beat such a big guy.

But after flying closer and taking a closer look, I realized that this was not the Crocodile at all, but the eldest phytosaur, Redondasaurus! (satellite)

Redondaosaurus was the ultimate phytosaur killing machine that appeared at the end of the Triassic Period. In the Triassic, an era when six or seven meters was king, Redondaosaurus could grow to ten to twelve meters.

We must know that the Pseudosuchus family will have to wait 100 million years to be so successful again, until the Cretaceous Deinosuchus Emperorsuchus once again regains the glory of its ancestors.

If it were Redondasaurus, it wouldn't be surprising. Judging from its lazy eyes and fat figure, it didn't look very smart at all.

At this moment, a terrestrial predator, greedy for the fish in the river, actually stepped into the territory of the plant dragon, fresh water.

This predator may be a new arrival. It doesn't know whose territory the Jiucha River belongs to. Taking advantage of its status as a pseudocrocodile royal family and its huge size, it rashly breaks in to eat fish.

Xu Dong looked carefully and confirmed that this thing should be a Poloni crocodile, with a body length of more than six meters and crawling on four legs. Of course, ordinary crocodiles would not dare to do anything to it, but here is a large crocodile with a length of 12 meters. Crocodile demon.

The current Crocodile Demon still looks like a harmless, fat and naive person, but when it gets into the water, everything changes.

The Poloni crocodile was happily eating the ray-finned fish that had fallen to death. As a result, a huge crocodile came out of the water. It opened its terrifying mouth and bit the Poloni crocodile directly in its belly, dragging it away. Get into the water.

For the Jiucha River Crocodile Demon, the head of Polonisuchus is too small, and its belly is not as easy to bite. Anyway, given the size of the Crocodile Demon, there are almost no ordinary creatures in this Triassic that it can't handle.

Attention, they are ordinary creatures!

The Poloni crocodile never dreamed that just a few days after its arrival, it finally found a good meal and wanted to have a full meal, but it was forced to go into the water.

Under the terrifying bite force of Redondasaurus, the carapace (back carapace) of all the predators in the world like Polonisuchus was easily bitten open like paper.

Xu Dong flapped his wings and stopped in the air, and was able to see the prehistoric version of the death roll. He saw the teeth of the Redonda dragon biting the belly of the Poloni crocodile, and the whole body quickly rolled in the water, stirring up a large area of ​​​​the river. A third of the Beloni crocodile's belly flesh was removed.

As the king of plant dragon kings and the giant crocodile demon of Jiucha River, Redongdalong can be the first to enjoy this meal. Only after it has finished eating will the other crocodiles come to share the meal.

This Jiucha River crocodile demon didn't seem to be very interested in the meat of the Poloni crocodile. He ate the belly meat in a few bites and then swam back to the central open space and continued to lie down and bask in the sun.

The other crocodiles suddenly swarmed up and ate the flesh and blood of the Poloni crocodile.

Xu Dong took advantage of the group of plant dragons to eat, flew low and quickly, picked up a fish that was smaller than him, turned around and ran away.

The piece of bat pterosaur meat just now couldn't fill Xu Dong's stomach at all. At best, it was just to satisfy his hunger.

Now eating this big fish should be enough for Xu Dong to regain his strength.

It has to be said that although the flying speed of the seven pairs of wings on the back is not as good as that of the pterosaur skin wings, they far exceed it in terms of load-bearing.

Xu Dong felt that his wings were more like an enhanced version of Zerg wings, although they were not as good as leather wings in terms of long-distance flight, flight speed, and folding.

But in terms of labor saving, load-bearing, hovering, direction changing, and flexibility, they are all top-notch. It’s hard to say who is better and who is worse.

Just like helicopters and fighter jets in later generations, regardless of combat effectiveness or applicability, helicopters are still more prominent.

The wings of the red-scaled flying dragon are just like this, and they are more adaptable. As long as they are modified in the editor later, Xu Dong still doesn't believe that the speed will not be as fast as that of the pterosaur.

Xu Dong flew farther and farther with the big fish, but he didn't know that the big crocodile demon who was lazily lying on the platform suddenly raised his head and opened his amber eyes, staring in the direction Xu Dong left.

After a long time, when Xu Dong's figure completely disappeared, Lei Dongdalong lay back on the platform again, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun.

I want to apologize here. Phytosaurs do not belong to pseudosuchians, but to mosaic crocodiles. They are at the same level as archosaurs and are equivalent to the uncles of pseudosuchians. I didn’t check the information carefully before and now I don’t. It’s easy to change, so I plan to change the title of the later ones, but the previous ones will not change.

Paleontology Theater: Manhattan Crocodile, the fossil was found in New Jersey, USA. Like other phytosaurs, Crocodile's appearance is very similar to that of a crocodile. The difference is that their nostrils are located close to the eyes because their front teeth are larger. Their appearance is more similar to gharials, and they may hunt fish and land animals near the water. The back, sides of the body, and tail of the crocodile are covered with bony scales.
