Chapter 71 If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die! The upper limit of youth! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes)
The sun and the moon alternate, the tides rise and fall, and another half a year has passed.
The rainy season arrived as expected, but the scorching heat remained the same, or even intensified.
Not only the Laramidian subcontinent, but the entire North America and even the whole world are suffering from the high temperature.
It all stems from the famous Deccan Traps event.
During the late Maastrichtian period of the Late Cretaceous, a large number of volcanic eruptions occurred in the Western Ghats, located west of the Deccan Plateau, which lasted for 3 years.
This formed one of the largest volcanic landforms on the earth's surface seen by later generations - the Deccan Traps.
The Deccan Traps event directly led to global warming at the time, with global temperatures rising by about 8 degrees Celsius.
In addition, the long-term volcanic eruptions spewed out large amounts of dust and sulfur dioxide, which affected sunlight and caused large-scale acid rain, causing devastating blows to many biological populations, leading to their extinction.
Therefore, the Deccan Traps event is also regarded by later paleontologists as one of the important factors leading to the mass extinction of dinosaurs.
Just a few hundred thousand years after this incident, the asteroid fragments seemed to be summoned and descended to Earth, accelerating the extinction of the dinosaurs.
It seems that the mass extinction of dinosaurs was an attack carefully prepared by Mother Earth from both inside and outside. First, there was a wave of volcanic eruptions to clean the ground, and then an asteroid fragment was invited from outer space, determined to clear the data and update the version.
According to the famous Gaia hypothesis, Mother Earth is actually a living organism with self-regulating capabilities. Magma is its blood, rocks are its skeleton, the atmosphere is its skin, forests are its lungs, wetlands are its kidneys, and the core is its heart...
Various animals, including humans, are more like parasites in Mother Earth's body, relying on various resources in Mother Earth's body to survive and promote development.
Whenever the existence of these parasites threatens the health of Mother Earth, the immune system in her body will automatically operate, mobilizing various natural disasters to eliminate the parasites, and even resorting to external "medicines" such as asteroid impacts, supernova explosions, and gamma-ray bursts.
Chu Xu also occasionally sighed, this is really a case of if the king wants his subject to die, the subject has to die!
"Open my properties panel."

……
Before we knew it, Chu Xu was already over two years old, and a whole year had passed since he started living independently.
After this period of accumulation, Chu Xu's four-dimensional attribute values have reached the limit of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is almost ten times that of an ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rex.
His body size has reached a new upper limit, with a body length of nearly 20 meters, a head height of 10 meters, and a weight that has soared to 50 tons.
This size is enough to compete with the Alamosaurus of the Titanosaur family, let alone Tyrannosaurus Rex and Mosasaur.
In addition, Chu Xu also upgraded the two intermediate skills, Flame Claws and High-Speed Movement, to advanced skills, and the two Tyrannosaurus subspecies templates were all collected. His combat effectiveness has made a qualitative leap compared to before.
The only pity is that there is no one who can be called an opponent, so Chu Xu himself doesn't know how powerful he is now.
[Ding! The host's current four-dimensional attribute value has reached the upper limit of the youth stage, and it is temporarily unable to increase points. Spend 1 evolution points and devour enough metal substances to evolve to the next form.] "Finally reached the evolution standard again."
Chu Xu's face lit up with joy, but the evolutionary conditions had changed this time. Not only did it include evolutionary points, it also required the swallowing of a sufficient amount of metal matter.
Come to think of it, the next evolutionary form of Machine Tyrannosaurus is a Cyborg Digimon with more than half of its body mechanized, and it has already departed from a purely biological Dinosaur-type Digimon.
However, the mechanical raw materials used in Machine Tyrannosaurus are not ordinary materials, but Time Digital Alloy.
Time Digital Alloy is a special metal in the digital world. It is a mixture of Time Digital Metal and biological data. It has both the hardness of metal and the flexibility of organisms.
Because of the different purities, they have different colors and their properties are also completely different.
The main function of the Chrono Digizoid is to use it on the parts of Cyborg and Mechanical Digimon.
Of course, there is no Time Digital Alloy on Earth, but Chu Xu only needs to devour ordinary metal substances and gather enough evolution points to achieve the third evolution!
"Since we are looking for metal substances, we have to go to the north."
Chu Xu thought to himself.
The Rocky Mountains in the north are the famous metal mining area in North America.
This was the time of the Laramide orogeny in the Late Cretaceous. Magmatic intrusions, highly metamorphic belts and sedimentary basins were widely distributed throughout the mountain range, and rich metal mineral resources were gradually formed here.
"Without further delay, let's set off as soon as possible."
Chu Xu never dared to let his guard down because of the asteroid fragments that might suddenly visit at any time.
Even if his current strength is enough to reach the top of the biological world in the Late Cretaceous, he is still a drop in the ocean and insignificant in the face of the power of nature.
Only by constantly becoming stronger can we have the capital to deal with unknown crises in the future.
"Roar--!!"
Chu Xu slowly stood up, his huge dragon body standing tall, his explosive muscles towering like rising mountains, and there seemed to be the sound of wind and thunder deep in his bones.
Any movement of it can make people feel the terrifying aura of fierceness, bravery, and domineering. Wherever it passes is enough to make the animals within dozens of miles around be silent and flee in fright!
"Zhizhi~~"
After hearing Chu Xu's voice, the little Cretaceous beast sleeping in the tree hole woke up and poked its head out curiously.
Now it is much bigger than before and is almost an adult.
Even so, the size of the little Cretaceous beast is still far inferior to Chu Xu's.
"Roar~~"
Chu Xu quickly came to the tree hole and just as he stretched out his hand to the little Cretaceous beast, the latter nimbly jumped onto his palm, then quickly ran to Chu Xu's shoulder with its mouth full of stored food.
The little Cretaceous Beast didn't ask much, and Chu Xu didn't say much either. The dragon and the beast set out on their journey northward.
