Chapter 430: One Hundred Thousand Salamanders, One Dragon
As if he was remembering something, the old man looked straight ahead, motionless, for a long time, and then sighed and continued:
Out of the huddled salamanders rushed a small axolotl about the length of a palm, barking and roaring at us.
At the time, we all thought it was very strange.
Salamanders, although not common for many people, are not like this for us geologists, and we often see them.
However, what we saw that day was very strange, and we had never encountered it before. ”
"Grandpa, say it quickly, don't sell it. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl gently shook the old man's arm, and her coquettish appearance overflowed with a touch of coquettishness and cuteness.
"Tap, tap, you girl, want to dismantle Grandpa's bone frame?" the old man smiled, and then said:
"That salamander looks like the other salamanders.
However, the temper is great.
Moreover, it's fast.
And, jump very high.
These characteristics are very different from those of ordinary salamanders.
But that's not what struck us the strangest.
It swims fast.
But not on the ground, but in the air.
It's a salamander that can soar through the clouds. ”
"What?!" exclaimed the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, "isn't that a dragon?"
"We don't know if it's a dragon or not, but it's the first time we've seen this kind of thing in the air, so we're all scared. The old man paused, and then said:
"It was later discovered that it had a transparent membrane of flesh under its belly.
When jumping, that membrane can change shape with the faint air current, giving its body maximum support.
From a distance, it looks like you're swimming freely in the air.
In the dim light of the time, if it could have been bigger and had horns on its head, I think each of us would have thought of it as a dragon. ”
"Grandpa, then why don't you catch it back and hand it over to the state for study? Maybe it's really a little dragon that hasn't grown up yet?" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of strange brilliance, "Maybe, it can be kept as a pet?"
"Hehe, silly girl. The old man shook his head, "I can't catch it, and it's very fierce, if we hadn't chosen to quit quickly at that time, I suspect that someone would have been bitten by it, and it would have been troublesome." We didn't have rabies vaccine and universal antidote serum with us, and we had female team members, so we had to quit and plan to report the situation to the relevant authorities. ”
"Grandpa, is there any of the female team members of my grandmother?" said the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a sly smile.
"Silly girl, your grandmother is a teacher, how can she be in the exploration team of geologists?" the old man smiled and shook his head.
"Hee-hee, I'm not talking about my own grandmother, but ...... Grandpa's old grandma before he found my own grandma. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl smiled like a flower.
"Don't talk nonsense, when you go home, your grandma will find out and beat your ass. The old man smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look." ”
"No, grandpa, you haven't said what happened to you?" the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl pouted as if she were coquettish.
"Later, later......" the old man sighed, "that was three days later. The relevant state units set up a working group to go to the caves we had explored. But, unfortunately, nothing was found, and of course, there were still traces of the salamander's life, but the strange salamander and all the salamanders were gone. ”
"Oh, that must have flown away. A look of disappointment appeared on the little girl's face, "If only I had caught it." ”
"yes, we're a bit of a pity that we didn't even have a single photo. When he said this, the old man looked at the mural in front of him and sighed slowly, "I thought I had forgotten about it, but I didn't expect that when I saw this mural today, it suddenly reminded me of that strange salamander." ”
"Grandpa, do they look alike?" the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl stared at the mural in front of her, "This one has horns, it's a dragon." ”
"Newborn calves don't have horns," the old man sighed, "and that little salamander must have grown up, right?"
"Grandpa, you mean that the dragon on the mural is a little salamander, right?"
"Hehe, how is this possible?" the old man shook his head with a smile, "The Kunlun Corridor has been alive for too long, according to the records, it is likely to be a product of hundreds of millions of years ago, and that strange little salamander is a creature I met decades ago, and there is no equal sign between the two." ”
"Yes...... But...... Even if they weren't the same thing," the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl looked a little unconvinced, "it must be family, or they wouldn't look so alike." ”
"yes, maybe, hehe. The old man smiled and shook his head, "Don't say it, the dragon's eye on this mural really looks a bit like the fierce salamander." ”
"yes, yes, grandpa. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl leaned on the old man's shoulder, "Then you say, do I look like you?"
"Haha, what is it like? Grandpa looks so ugly. The old man touched the girl's head lovingly, "How beautiful you are, so many people peek at you." ”
Ahem, ahem!
Huang Tian was a little embarrassed, turned around and walked to the side.
He had seen the mural that the two were staring at earlier, and he was not too surprised at the time.
Earthlings have worshipped dragons as totems since ancient times, so it is not surprising that they appear in any painting.
And in the endless void, there are indeed dragons, which is very common.
Therefore, when Huang Tian saw that picture, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and felt that it was normal.
Now when I hear the old man and his granddaughter talk about this, my heart can't help but move.
"Salamander, dragon source, original dragon.
Although I have never raised such a spirit pet, I have heard that dragons are not independent species, but are preferred among some common species of the same kind.
It's like an eagle and a sea green.
Haidongqing is also not a separate species, but comes from the eagle.
As the old saying goes, in one hundred thousand condors, a sea east green can fly.
So, is it possible that one hundred thousand salamanders can also produce a primordial dragon?
Although these cannot be verified for me, a blind pet, there are obvious theoretical possibilities.
In addition, this dialogue between the old and the young shows that the mural of the original dragon is real, does it also prove that other murals are also real?
So, it looks like I really need to go to Gushanzi Canyon. ”
