The brachiosaurus wasn't moving very fast; it would occasionally nibble on a leaf from the side as it walked.

Occasionally, it would turn around and chirp a few times at Ling Yi and the other person on its back, like a tour guide introducing the surrounding environment to them.

Unfortunately, Ling Yi and the other person couldn't understand it.

"Based on the coordinates, we should be in the Saqu Desert right now. It's hard to imagine that this place looked like this more than 10,000 years ago."

"The air quality during this period was excellent, sufficient to support the oxygen consumption of large animals during their vigorous activities, which is probably why the creatures of this period were so enormous."

"You're still live streaming?" Guan Xiaoxiao said speechlessly.

"I'm a host, and isn't this the true Ancient Nature?"

"Hmph, you'll be in for a lot of trouble when you get back."

"Then I won't go back!"

By this time, the brachiosaurus had led them through the jungle to a riverbank, across which lay a vast grassland.

"No way, this brachiosaurus really understood what we meant?" Guan Xiaoxiao was shocked.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration."

The brachiosaurus waded across the river to the other side. Ling Yi patted the brachiosaurus on the back, signaling it to stop, and then jumped down with Guan Xiaoxiao.

"This place is nice!"

What are you going to do?

Ling Yi took a few steps forward, waved his hand, and a huge base vehicle, ten meters high, thirty meters long, and eight meters wide, appeared before him.

Then the vehicle began to extend outwards, Shapeshifting into a steel city in the blink of an eye.

This scene startled both Guan Xiaoxiao and the cervical Dragon Capital.

The brachiosaurus took a few steps back, revealing a wary expression.

But this wasn't the end. Three heavy trucks slowly emerged from the steel city, each heading in a different direction, and began to explore the area.

Then, another group of soldiers came out of the main base and began to patrol the surroundings.

" Red Alert base, mining truck?" Guan Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

"That's right, isn't he handsome?" Ling Yi said with a smile.

"You..." Guan Xiaoxiao was completely speechless for a moment, and after a long while she murmured, "You wouldn't happen to have some kind of cheat code like the Protagonist in a novel, would you?"

What does it mean to be like the Protagonist in a novel? This is a novel world, and he is the Protagonist.

However, Ling Yi did not elaborate on this point.

Just then, several cries for help suddenly came from afar.

Ling Yi, Guan Xiaoxiao, and Jinglong Dragon Capital involuntarily looked in the direction of the sound.

A dozen or so people were running towards them, shouting and yelling. They rushed towards Iron City and Ling Yi as if they had found saviors.

"The person leading the group looks like the Crown Prince," Guan Xiaoxiao murmured.

"What a small world," Ling Yi sneered.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, hurry up and save them, they must be in danger."

"Why should I save them?" Ling Yi said unhappily.

" Ling Yi, no matter what, their actions are just business transactions, not crimes. You forcibly brought them here, so you have an obligation to ensure their safety, instead of relying on your power to Ignore other people's lives," Guan Xiaoxiao reprimanded sternly.

Ling Yi was stunned for a moment. Yes, when did he learn to disregard life? According to Ling Yi's previous thinking, what did these people's lives and deaths have to do with him? But, Guan Xiaoxiao's words seemed to make sense.

Moreover, why would he want to compete with a group of ordinary people?

Disregard for life—is this a side effect of time travel?

"System, send them back," Ling Yi said, extremely annoyed.

As Ling Yi finished speaking, more than a dozen beams of light enveloped the people in front of him, and the next moment, their figures disappeared.

"Chirp?" The brachiosaurus looked at Ling Yi with a puzzled expression.

But then the brachiosaurus let out a series of chirping sounds, its eyes filled with terror as it stared at the spot where the people had disappeared.

A giant, fiery red centipede suddenly stood up, baring its fangs and claws as it scanned the surroundings, seemingly utterly bewildered by the sudden disappearance of its prey.

"Ling, Ling... Oh, what a huge centipede!" Guan Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she could barely speak.

"Good heavens, this thing must be at least ten meters long." Ling Yi was also somewhat surprised.

The ancient giant centipede was so deadly that even an elephant couldn't withstand it, no wonder the brachiosaurus was afraid of it.

"If we could Teleport this thing back to the modern world..."

" Ling Yi, stop talking nonsense, I'm angry," Guan Xiaoxiao said angrily.

"Just kidding."

"It's not funny at all."

Seeing that Guan Xiaoxiao was really angry, Ling Yi coughed twice, stopped fooling around, and waved to the clone soldiers.

The soldiers picked up their weapons and charged toward the ancient giant centipede.

Immediately afterwards, a series of gunshots rang out.

To Ling Yi's surprise, the giant centipede's shell was incredibly sturdy; bullets hitting it only produced a few Mars and couldn't penetrate its defenses for a while.

However, the impact of the bullet caused the giant centipede to let out an angry roar, and it immediately lowered its body and charged towards the soldiers.

The centipede was incredibly fast, reaching the soldiers almost instantly and knocking them to the ground.

" Ling Yi!" Guan Xiaoxiao cried out, clutching Ling Yi's arm tightly.

"Don't worry, these soldiers are all wearing nanotech armor; this kind of impact won't cause them any injuries."

Sure enough, although the soldiers were somewhat disheveled, they quickly got back to their feet and adjusted their tactics.

Switching the weapon to electric shock mode, dozens of electric currents struck the giant centipede, crackling and causing its body to stiffen.

A few seconds later, he collapsed, powerless.

But the centipede was not dead; it had simply lost its ability to move temporarily.

These cloned soldiers all had life detection equipment, so they naturally discovered this.

After a quick scan, a soldier approached the centipede and fired at close range at its head. A dozen bullets hit the same spot, finally breaking through the giant centipede's defenses and blowing its head apart.

This completely ended the life of this ancient giant centipede.

"These centipedes are so powerful, it would be troublesome if a few more came," Guan Xiaoxiao said worriedly.

Finding that Ling Yi didn't react, he couldn't help but turn around to look.

When Guan Xiaoxiao saw Ling Yi's expression, she was immediately speechless.

"A centipede this big would probably taste pretty good roasted."

"No, that's disgusting."

Haven't you ever eaten roasted centipede?

"Ah, don't say that! You can't eat it! How can you put something so scary in your mouth?"

"It's just like eating Xiaolong, believe me, the taste is absolutely amazing."

"No, what if it's poisonous? You can't eat it!"

Ling Yi shook his head in disappointment, waved reluctantly to the soldier, and said, "Find a place to bury him."

At this moment, Ling Yi glanced at the live stream and noticed that many people in the chat were offering high prices to buy the centipede.

"Someone in the comments is offering a high price to buy this centipede, are you selling?"

"What's going on with this signal? Why does my phone still have a signal?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked curiously, looking at the comments on her phone. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"Are you sure you can understand my explanation?" Ling Yi explained simply.

"..." Guan Xiaoxiao pouted, staring at Ling Yi with great dissatisfaction.

Simply put, it's Quantum Communication Technology.

"It's best not to sell them. Ancient creatures might carry unknown bacteria, and who knows what trouble they might cause in modern times," Guan Xiaoxiao decisively steered the conversation back on track.

At this point, Guan Xiaoxiao asked again, "Those people who went back just now, did they bring back any strange viruses or bacteria?"

"No, they'll go back the same way they came."

"That's good!"

At this moment, the brachiosaurus approached and looked at Ling Yi with a fawning expression.

That expression... Ling Yi and Guan Xiaoxiao instantly understood its meaning.

Normally, this fawning expression is only shown when asking someone for a favor.

"Chirp!"

The ceratops stomped its feet and shook its head, then pretended to be dizzy and about to faint. Finally, it stared at the soldiers for a long time before looking at Ling Yi expectantly.

"What do you think it means?" Guan Xiaoxiao asked.

"I think it needs to borrow troops," Ling Yi said.

"I think so too, so should we lend it to them or not?"

"We're just killing time anyway, let's go check on him, after all, this little guy helped us before."

"Stop calling him 'little one'! What's so little about him?"

"That's not important."

Ling Yi thought for a moment and directly exchanged for Wu Bai clone soldiers and 100 armored vehicles. This time, he didn't get the system for nothing. After all, he had done such a big thing, and the Shock Value he received were enough to make up for the previous deficit and even leave him with a surplus.

Ling Yi and Guan Xiaoxiao climbed back onto the back of the brachiosaurus.

The brachiosaurus was very happy that Ling Yi understood its meaning, and it jumped up and down excitedly when it saw that Ling Yi had produced so many soldiers.

The cervical dragon happily led Ling Yi and the others, along with the main force behind them, westward.

This Keep Running speed greatly exceeded Ling Yi and his companion's expectations.

Despite its large size, Keep Running surprisingly fast and without any clumsiness.

We ran like this for a full ten minutes, and all we saw along the way were brachiosaurs. This area must have been dominated by brachiosaurs.

The brachiosaurus led them to a lake. The sight of nearly a thousand enormous brachiosaurus left Ling Yi and his companion speechless with awe.

These brachiosaurs were mostly gray-colored, but a few were pure white or pure black. Could these be the kings of the brachiosaurs?
