Chapter 68 Qu Ru
Chapter 68 Qu Ru
It seems that any life form that has entered into a state of intelligent civilization is not something to be underestimated.
Seeing the slight surprise on their faces, Allen breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems my guess was correct.
The other party needs an ally, an ally who will not betray them or cause trouble.
"While what you say is true, for us, you are merely the optimal solution, not the only option we have."
Su Yang smiled.
Even if Allen is right, so what?
Great Xia has more than one option.
The reason I want to find an ally is simply because wiping out the dinosaur-men on this planet is a thankless and exhausting task.
Having some dinosaur-men as allies to lead the rest is less costly and easier to control.
Furthermore, the Great Xia Dynasty was unwilling to increase bloodshed, so it advocated using barbarians to control barbarians.
Upon hearing this, Allen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
"You... plan to deal with the main department next?"
Allen asked tentatively.
"Of course, but it might be delayed by a few days."
Su Yang nodded.
He had no reason to hide this fact.
On the contrary, maybe when they go to the headquarters of the Healing Faction later, they will bring Allen and others along?
After all, they needed a representative, and Allen and others, who were among the first to make contact with them, were undoubtedly the best choice.
When Allen heard this, he just frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"It's time to go back."
As Su Yang spoke, he walked towards the off-road vehicle.
Han Bei and A Lun also got into the car.
Upon arriving at the base, Zhang Changgong was facing the large screen in the command center, frowning as he pondered something.
"Team Leader Zhang."
Su Yang got out of the carriage and greeted Zhang Changgong.
When Su Yang's gaze fell on the big screen, he unconsciously paused.
Upon seeing this, Han Bei glanced at the screen as well, and a familiar feeling immediately washed over him.
"Giant Mushroom Forest?"
Han Bei suddenly remembered.
The image on the big screen was none other than the giant mushroom forest they had first encountered.
Cheng Shun almost got caught up in that incident back then.
If it weren't for Arcana bringing the red fruit, and happened to come to check if any of their kind were in danger.
Cheng Shun is probably long dead.
Therefore, it's almost impossible for those who were among the first to venture into the Jurassic World to forget the Giant Mushroom Forest.
Is there anything special about this place?
Han Bei asked with some curiosity.
"The size of the Giant Mushroom Forest is a bit beyond my expectations."
Zhang Changgong stared at the screen and spoke.
"According to footage from drones, the area of the giant mushroom forest is at least several tens of kilometers or even larger."
"You mean, there's something unexpected inside?"
Su Yang pondered for a moment before speaking.
My eyes were glued to the big screen, watching the live feed.
next moment.
A dark shadow flashed across the screen, and the drone's live stream was instantly cut off.
"What is that?"
Han Bei's eyes widened slightly.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow flashed by, and then the live feed disappeared.
Clearly, there are still things they are unaware of in the Giant Mushroom Forest.
"Send someone to bring the shaman Arun over."
Su Yang thought for a moment and then spoke through the communicator.
Before long, the shaman was brought before Han Bei and his group.
"Did you need something?"
Allen looked slightly puzzled.
"Shaman, do you know what unknown creatures live in the Giant Mushroom Forest?"
Su Yang spoke directly.
"Giant Mushroom Forest?"
Upon hearing this, Allen couldn't help but ponder it in his mind.
After a while, Allen's eyes lit up.
"I think I remember now."
Upon hearing this, Han Bei and the others immediately perked up their ears and stared intently at Alan.
"You must be referring to Qu Ru."
Allen began to speak.
"Quru?"
Upon hearing this, not only Han Bei, but also Su Yang and Zhang Changgong were stunned for a moment.
Han Bei said it was because he had never heard of it.
Su Yang and Zhang Changgong, on the other hand, did not know what Qu Ru was.
Quru does not exist on Earth.
At least, they found no trace of Qu Ru.
The name Qu Ru comes from the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Southern Mountains Classic, records: "On Mount Daoguo... there is a bird that looks like a quail but has a white head, three legs, and a human face. Its name is Quru, and its cry is its own name."
Su Yang and Zhang Changgong were obviously aware of Qu Ru, which is why they were surprised.
I never imagined that the Jurassic World would also contain things that exist in the Classic of Mountains and Seas on Earth?
Even the way they address each other is the same.
"Why are you so surprised? Do you know something?"
Allen felt something was off, but he continued speaking anyway.
"How should I put it, Qu Ruqi is actually the same ancestor as our ancestors."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang looked shocked.
Are the ancestors of Qu Ru and the dinosaur man the same?
A bird, a sauropod.
These two seem a little hard to connect.
That's quite surprising.
Although most animal ancestors on Earth were protozoa.
But this is not Earth, but another real planet.
It's hard not to find it somewhat unbelievable.
Su Yang and Zhang Changgong exchanged a glance, signaling Alan to continue.
"Long ago, before our ancestors had evolved, they split into several branches. One branch evolved into what we are today, and another branch entered the Giant Mushroom Forest."
"After living there for a long time, they gradually evolved into the Quru."
"So, does that mean that the Guru also possesses wisdom?"
Han Bei couldn't help but ask.
If that's the case, then we'll have to clean things up again if we want to develop Jurassic World.
"No."
Allen shook his head. "Quru did not develop wisdom."
As he spoke, Alan paused for a moment, his expression somewhat strange.
"The Quru not only did not develop intelligence, but their evolutionary direction was completely different from that of our ancestors."
Tell me in detail.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately became interested.
Isn't this just like Earth in ancient times?
It started with the progenitor beast, then branched out and evolved again.
After countless evolutionary branches, the human ancestor finally emerged.
Allen had just mentioned that there was also a branch in the Giant Mushroom Forest, which piqued his interest.
After some investigation...
Su Yang and the others roughly figured out what the Quru, who lived in the Giant Mushroom Forest, was.
A bird-like animal with a human face, bird body, and three legs, somewhat resembling the Golden Crow.
However, it retains some of the facial features of birds, such as beaks and wings.
However, the Quru of the Jurassic world did not develop intelligence and can only be considered as animals.
According to Allen.
Quru are social, territorial animals, and under normal circumstances, each lives in its own area.
Unless there is an extremely serious invasion by a foreign enemy, the Quru people are all busy with their own affairs and do not care about the life or death of other Quru people.
