Chapter 1061: Giant Insects

Just when Zhao Rong and his team had eliminated the ghost frog, the Dinosaur People standing nearby stepped forward and expressed their gratitude to Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, we’re truly grateful to you, you’ve helped us Dinosaur People get rid of a major threat…”

Zhao Rong smiled at the Dinosaur People Chieftain and said:

“No need to thank me, Dinosaur People Chieftain…”

Miss Lili stepped forward and patted the Dinosaur People Chieftain on the shoulder, saying:

“Although we’ve killed this ghost frog and it seems like we’ve avenged you, to be honest, we wanted this ghost frog for the toxins on its body used in potion crafting…”

Right after Zhao Rong killed the ghost frog, he immediately bought a large pot from the Paradise Shopping Cart and lit a campfire, placing the pot over the fire and filling it with water…

After he filled the pot with water, he immediately instructed the three beauties and the assistant before him, saying:

“Miss Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, assistant, keep adding firewood under this pot…”

Curiously watching the scene, the Dinosaur People Chieftain asked:

“Brother Zhao Rong, what are you doing? Are you going to make hotpot?”

Zhao Rong shook his head and told the Dinosaur People Chieftain:

“We’re not making hotpot, we just want to extract the toxins and fat from the ghost frog’s body…”

The Dinosaur People Chieftain curiously asked:

“But, why do you need the toxins and fat from the ghost frog’s body?”

Zhao Rong replied:

“The fat and toxins from the ghost frog’s body are extremely helpful in my potion crafting process…”

At this point, the assistant was tired from gathering firewood, so he sat down to rest and said to Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, can’t you use Strange Fire to control the crafting?”

Zhao Rong shook his head, apologetically saying:

“Assistant, you have no idea, crafting with ghost frog’s fat and toxins really can’t use Strange Fire, only firewood…”

Listening to Zhao Rong’s words, the assistant, feeling frustrated, continued to find firewood nearby.

After three hours of crafting,

Zhao Rong finally obtained a bottle of ghost frog toxins and a bottle of ghost frog fat.

When Zhao Rong held the two bottles of substances he needed,

he happily said:

“Now, with the ghost frog fat and toxins, it will be easier for me to craft resurrection pills in the future, and I’ll be able to make more…”

Upon hearing that Brother Zhao Rong could craft resurrection pills, the three beauties and the assistant were very excited, saying:

“It seems in our team, in future battles, even if we die, it won’t matter, because as long as Brother Zhao Rong is alive, he can craft resurrection pills using ghost frog fat and toxins, with resurrection pills, we can come back to life and have a second life…”

Miss Lili stepped forward and praised Brother Zhao Rong, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, you’re truly amazing, as long as we have resurrection pills, we won’t be afraid of death anymore…”

Yu Lan was deeply moved, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, in this world, you’re the only one capable of saving us beauties…”

Xuelian gave two thumbs up to Zhao Rong, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, you’re truly the coolest man in the world…”

Listening to everyone’s praise, Zhao Rong modestly said:

“Stop flattering me, if you keep praising me, I’ll really be floating, actually, being able to craft resurrection pills is also to provide everyone with more safety in future explorations…”

With those words, Zhao Rong led everyone away from the ghost frog’s cave, following the Dinosaur People on their journey…

As Zhao Rong and his team continued to walk with the Dinosaur People Chieftain, within the Carboniferous era forest of gigantic insects, they felt like everything was just like scenes from a movie…

Zhao Rong felt like he had arrived in the land of giants…

He looked at the enormous dandelion in the distance and said:

“I never thought that in the Carboniferous era, a single dandelion could grow so huge…”

Miss Lili looked at an ant larger than a tank nearby,

she exclaimed in fear:

“Thankfully, in the era we live in, ants are very small, if ants grew as big as tanks, it would truly be dangerous…”

Yu Lan looked at a spider larger than a spaceship in the distance,

she felt horrified, saying:

“If we ever got caught by such a spider, we would surely be doomed…”

Xuelian looked at a grasshopper larger than a Hummer nearby,

she mused aloud:

“If a grasshopper can grow as big as a Hummer, then it can truly be considered a beast…”

The assistant looked at a ladybug flying in the sky, which was larger than a Boeing 737 plane,

he felt horrified and said:

“I never thought the gigantic insect era of the Carboniferous period could be so terrifying, in our era, a small ladybug here can grow larger than a Boeing 737 plane…”

After everyone finished voicing their complaints, they curiously asked Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, why could insects grow so large in the Carboniferous era, while in our era, insects become so small?”

Zhao Rong explained to everyone:

“The reason insects could grow so large in the Carboniferous period, is mainly due to the high oxygen levels in Earth’s atmosphere during that time… These insects could ingest sufficient oxygen, and the oxygen molecules in their blood would rapidly increase… Therefore, these insects could grow so huge… In our era, the oxygen levels have dropped significantly, so insects generally don’t grow large, and even mammals are severely limited in size…”

Listening to Zhao Rong’s explanation, Miss Lili felt enlightened, saying:

“I really learned something new, it seems that exploring with Brother Zhao Rong not only gives us thrills, but also teaches us unheard knowledge…”

Suddenly, Yu Lan noticed something and said to Zhao Rong:

“Brother Zhao Rong, somehow I feel that when we arrived in the gigantic insect era of the Carboniferous 300 million years ago, we all seemed to have grown taller…”

Listening to Yu Lan’s words, Xuelian immediately took out a measuring tape to measure her height.

After Yu Lan measured her height,

she exclaimed in surprise:

“I used to be 1.68 meters tall, but now, my height has grown to 1.72 meters…”

Listening to Yu Lan’s words, Xuelian immediately measured her own height,

she exclaimed in surprise:

“Oh my God, is this for real? I’ve always dreamed of being 1.75 meters tall someday…but my real height is just 1.65 meters, when I put on height-boosting shoes, I become 1.70 meters… But now, coming to the Carboniferous era, I find I’ve unconsciously grown to 1.75 meters, and I’m barefoot…”

The assistant was even more shocked, saying:

“Even though I used to be severely disabled, as a man, my height was less than 1.70 meters, but now, I’ve suddenly grown to 1.80 meters, and incredibly tall and imposing…”

When Zhao Rong heard everyone’s words, he took a closer look, and everyone indeed had grown taller,

in amazement, Zhao Rong said:

“It seems that in this high-oxygen Carboniferous gigantic insect era, not only can insects grow very large, but even us humans can continue to grow…”
