583 The Legend of the Australian Magic Dragon
In terms of data comparison.
The king cobra is almost invincible among land venomous snakes.
The hegemony is obvious.
After the popularization of science, Liu Wei let go of the clamp of the smart snake catcher, and the inland Taipan snake, which had been quiet, lay quietly on the desert, its body began to contract, returning to its original leisurely life.
It seemed to realize that Liu Wei would not bother it anymore, so it did not look back at Liu Wei.
"I still like the way it looks when it's quiet, it's very gentle!" Liu Wei stared at the inland Taipan snake and smiled.
The audience can't feel the tenderness in his mouth.
A kind of poison king who can easily kill you, and you say it is gentle with love in your eyes.
I don't know what kind of mentality it is?
Liu Wei turned around and called out to the wild camel that had been staying where he was, "Xiao Wang, let's go!"
The wild camel got up, put its feet on it, and ran with small jumps.
When it saw the inland Taipan snake, it immediately braked and ran a few steps to the right.
This funny action amused Liu Wei and the audience in the live broadcast room.
Wild camels should know how powerful the inland Taipan snake is, after all, they live in the same desert.
"Are you so timid, how will you be the king of camels in the future?"
Liu Wei smiled and got up and walked to the wild camel.
It was a little disgusted and glanced at Liu Wei.
It feels like you've been pitted!
Are the rivers and lakes so dangerous?
Liu Wei patted the distracted wild camel, "What do you want?" Xiao Wang, kneel down, let's continue to hurry!"
The wild camel came back to its senses, bent its knees, and knelt on the ground, and after Liu Wei rode up, he said to the drone camera: "Brothers, see you at Jubilee Lake!"
……
Lake Jubilee is located in the southern part of the Victorian Desert, less than 200 kilometers from the coastline, and is affected by warm currents, and there are large and small lakes scattered from Lake Jubilee to the east.
Compared to western and central Victoria, the climate is slightly more humid.
There are patches of grassland distributed.
It is inhabited by one of the tribes of Australia's Aboriginal people, the Koori Aborigines.
Liu Wei rode his camel to Lake Jubilee and was greeted by the natives who were grazing with amazement.
Liu Wei greeted with a smile and got off the camel and walked towards the herdsmen.
The indigenous people of Koori have embraced modern civilization and are not much different from the inhabitants of the eastern coastal cities, except for some special festivals, when they need to dress up.
There are many indigenous people who have integrated into the urban civilization and live in the city.
One of the notions of the indigenous peoples has not changed, they do not value things like money and material things.
In tribal customs, it is rare to hear "thank you", "please", ...... Similar to a polite word.
They practice a "sharing" approach to getting along.
Liu Wei approached the herdsmen, who took the initiative to take out the milk and dry food they brought out in the morning and handed them to Liu Wei, expressing their welcome to foreign friends.
Liu Wei also shared the food he brought.
Sitting on the grass and chatting with the herdsmen, he was ready to get up and go to the lake to bathe.
Pulled by the herdsmen.
The herdsman, who was about the same age as Liu Wei's grandfather, said that the lake was very dangerous, and that people had drowned and many livestock.
Liu Wei looked over, and there was indeed a warning sign "no swimming" on the edge of the lake.
He pointed to the livestock drinking by the lake, "Uncle, aren't those livestock still in the river by the lake?"
The herders stared at the livestock and nodded, "That's their important source of water." ”
Liu Wei was a little puzzled.
If the lake is dangerous and many livestock have drowned, why do local herders still let them roam the lake's waters?
Just to stop people from going swimming, a warning sign was erected.
The herdsman's face sank.
"Is there any secret about this lake?" Liu Wei saw something in the herdsmen's expressions.
The herdsman stared back at Liu Wei, looked directly at the sparkling lake, and slowly spat out a few words, "There are monsters!"
Liu Wei was shocked.
Monster?
He didn't think twice.
The subconscious in his head told him that it might be a crocodile.
He did not believe in the existence of creatures such as the Loch Ness Monster.
"Is it a crocodile?" asked Liu Wei.
The herdsman shook his head, "Devildragon!"
When Liu Wei heard this word from the herdsman's mouth, he was first shocked, and then looked suspicious.
The monster mentioned by the herdsmen is the "Australian Magic Dragon", a creature that lives on land, how could it be possible to burrow into the lake?
And this creature has long been confirmed, disappeared from the Australian continent more than 40,000 years ago, and belongs to the giant predator of the post-dinosaur era.
Liu Wei stared at the herdsmen's gaze.
Deep, can't see through!
Could it be that ancient terrestrial creatures evolved into amphibians and reptiles in order to survive?
It's not like there are no such animals on Earth!
Liu Wei was even more interested.
The secrets of the lake are worth exploring!
Turned out the diving equipment from the black technology backpack and equipped it.
The uncle was very excited, stood up, grabbed Liu Wei's arm, and pulled it back, "Don't you want to die?
Liu Wei smiled and said: "Uncle, I am a researcher of wild animals, I am skeptical about the Australian magic dragon you mentioned, I need to go into the water to see!"
"Someone in the village has seen it with their own eyes!" the herdsman stressed.
Liu Wei became more and more disbelievable.
Often, this kind of person-to-person transmission is the easiest to form a rumor.
Besides, if there really is an Australian magic dragon, can Australian experts in paleontology still sit still?
Even if the lake is drained, it must be investigated.
It shows that the rumors about the "Australian Magic Dragon" in the village have not been taken seriously by the relevant departments of the local government.
They probably didn't believe there were monsters in the lake either.
"Don't worry, uncle!"
The herdsmen couldn't stop Liu Wei and immediately trotted back.
Liu Wei walked to the edge of the lake and said to the wild camels that were drinking water, "When you finish supplying, go to the top, don't keep hanging around the lake!"
The wild camel glanced at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei put on a mask, approached the water, and soon his body was submerged in the lake.
At this time, the drone hovering over the lake can only photograph the water ripples on the surface of the lake.
The audience couldn't sit still.
began to speculate about the reason why Liu Wei went into the water.
Visibility in the water was not very good, and a lot of animal and plant carcasses were deposited.
The body moved slightly, and the turbidity turned up.
Liu Wei swam into the depths.
The moment the cloudiness dispersed, he looked at a huge head.
His brow furrowed.
The body stiffened for a moment.
The head he saw was indeed very similar to the Australian magic dragon in the paleontology.
Liu Wei did not rush to escape, but floated in the water and observed for a while.
He found that the thing resembling the head of an Australian magic dragon showed no signs of moving at all.
Is it dead?
In order to prove his conjecture, Liu Wei continued to dive, and the closer he looked, the more closely he looked.
It's just a skull in front of me.
The skull was covered with a lot of grayish-brown sediment and dirt.
The color of these filthy things is similar to the color of the surface of the Australian dragon's body.
If the weather is good and the sun shines on the bottom of the lake, it is possible for the human eye to see the skull halo.
Perhaps this is what the herder said the man saw.
Liu Wei reached out and touched the dirt off the skull, slowly revealing the white bones.
He was able to confirm that it was a fossilized skull of an Australian magic dragon.
The scientific name of the Australian magic dragon is: ancient monitor lizard!
