In front of them was a flat area beside a river. A huge creature was lying there, bored to death.
Just as Professor Johansson had expected, it was a terrifying beast that was ten meters long.
Its body was as beautiful as gold, shining through the sunlight in the Amazon jungle. According to the normal theory of biological evolution, it was difficult for such a conspicuous creature to survive because they would be attacked by natural enemies and gradually eliminated under the survival of the fittest. They would become fossils that could only be dug out from the soil.
However, this kind of normal biological evolution theory might not be able to adapt to the giant beast in front of him.
This was because it was not a dinosaur that lived 65 million years ago, as Professor John suspected. It was a dragon that should have appeared in myths and legends and knight novels!!
"Dragon…Dragon…"
Professor John Xun's student, Lucy, was the only girl here. Her throat moved as she spoke in fear.
The ferocious yet elegant dragon head, the slender yet powerful neck, the bat-like wings, the graceful yet not bloated body, the sharp dragon claws, the strong limbs, and the powerful dragon tail that was like a battering ram.
Every scale of this giant beast was shining, as if it was a kind of wonderful metal. It made people think of legendary things like dragon scales, especially the pair of upside-down pupils of the dragon in front of them. It was like a cold-blooded animal like a snake, emitting a cruel but elegant brutality.
"Professor…this is not a dinosaur…this is…this is a dragon!!!”
Lucy was almost crying as she mumbled to Professor John.
No wonder Lucy's voice was trembling. Dragons were not a good symbol in western culture. In all kinds of myths and legends, dragons always appeared in the form of evil dragons!
The first legend of the dragon came from the myths of Mesopotamia and Babylonia. According to Enuma. Elish's Creation Tablet, the dragons Absu and Tiamat created the gods. If the dragons at that time represented the gods of reproduction and holiness, then almost all the dragons after that were the enemies of the Lord.
Under the influence of Greek mythology and Christian mythology, in many legends, the dragon became the guardian of treasures, a symbol of greed, and represented absolute evil!
"Giant dragon…Giant dragon…It's actually a giant dragon…Oh my god, could it be that the ancient legends are true? Were there really creatures like dragons in this world? The words written by the ancients were not fantasy but reality?？？”
Professor Johansson muttered in shock, then he was overjoyed.
A giant dragon! This was a giant dragon! Any dinosaur would have to stand aside in front of such a mythical creature. So what if they discovered a dinosaur? Was there anything that could shock the world more when a dragon was discovered?! Seeing the legendary dragon was like seeing an angel or a demon. It was as if they were verifying the authenticity of ancient myths!!
Compared to Professor Johansson and his students, the soldiers who had undergone rigorous training had recovered from their shock earlier. However, other than their faces full of shock and disbelief, they instinctively gripped their weapons tightly. Many of the soldiers even switched to tranquilizer bullets. The amount of tranquilizer bullets was enough to knock out a herd of elephants.
"Hey, boss! So this is our mission objective? They actually want us to find the dragon?？Are we going to become dragon-slaying warriors today?”
The soldier called Bowen had a twisted expression on his face. He seemed to be excited and afraid as he said to his commander.
These soldiers realized that when facing this dragon, they were actually afraid of it. This fear was not something that humans could overcome. It was like a rabbit meeting a lion. It was a racial suppression from the food chain that was engraved in their genes!
"En, this should be our mission objective.”
the commander said with certainty.
The higher-ups asked them to investigate this area, but they found a dragon here. If this was not the mission goal, what was it?
"Wait a minute, look, look at that dragon's head!!”
Professor Johansson suddenly let out a low cry. Previously, everyone was excited and afraid to see the dragon, so they did not notice some details.
As the shock gradually subsided, Professor John finally realized that something was wrong.
Everyone looked at the dragon's head and indeed saw an unusually beautiful crown on its head. It had an unbelievable artistic sense. The crown was also pure gold in color. Because it was the same color as the dragon, it had been ignored by others before.
"That crown…is definitely man-made.”
Professor Johansson muttered. Then, his expression changed, revealing a terrified expression."…Satan…Satan!!! According to the Bible, there was another sign in the sky. There was a big red dragon with seven heads and ten horns. There were seven crowns on its seven heads!”
Professor Johansson's words caused the expressions of those who heard it to change drastically. Although the dragon in front of them was golden and only had one head, the crown did indeed make people think of the enemy of the Holy Lord!
The commander was the first to come back to his senses. He seemed to be comforting Professor Johnson, but also seemed to be comforting himself and his subordinates."…Professor, don't panic. Let's not talk about whether this dragon is as invulnerable as the legends say. Even if it's really as powerful as the legends say, it will definitely die in the face of modern weapons. Perhaps dragons really existed in ancient times, and the ancient people exaggerated it because they couldn't fight against them.”
The commander's comforting words made Professor Johansson feel much more relaxed. That's right, it was very likely that the dragon was just a creature like the dinosaurs. It was extinct because it was rare, and as long as it was a creature, it would definitely not be a match for modern weapons.
However, they had never thought that if the myth was true, then dragons were monsters that could fight against angels. In the face of all kinds of miracles and magic in the myth, human technology might not be useful.
But now, humans could only comfort themselves in this way.
Suddenly, the giant dragon in front of them stood up from its prone position. It spread its wings and instantly darkened the land. As the giant dragon stood up, everyone discovered its inconceivable size and secretly swallowed their saliva.
"Human!"
The dragon opened its mouth and let out a strange sound that did not seem like the roar of a beast.
They did not know that this was pure dragon language!
Professor Johnson was stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of these syllables, but from the rhythmic tone, he knew that it was a language.
" It can talk!!!"
As Professor Johnson screamed, the commander felt a fear rising from the depths of his soul. He shouted,""…Fire!"
The tranquilizer bullet that could knock out a herd of elephants shot out spikes at the dragon.
