Chapter 242: A Major Discovery!

In the morning, Professor Sun climbed out of the tent at dawn, and all night his mind was full of Huilin's giant water snake.

The Chinese water snake is a unique water snake species in China. Due to their adaptability, combined with their ability to live in water, it is difficult to threaten their populations, so they are not listed as protected animals.

The Chinese water snake is also one of the medicines, and it is recorded in the pharmacopoeia that its body can be used as medicine, mainly for the treatment of convulsions, gout, and ringworm and body weakness. The water snake in question here is not a mud snake, although mud snakes also have this effect.

The gray-scaled giant water snake where the fossil was found has never been found alive. If this is true, it will be a grand joy! Species from 100,000 years ago are still alive to the present, although they are not as good as ancient shrimp, Chinese soft-shelled turtles, baby fish, Chinese alligators, and other species, but it is a major matter for the study of ancient species and the enrichment of the gene pool!

Cao Xiang got up earlier than Professor Sun, but he was making breakfast. Seeing that the teacher had gone straight to the swamp with the camera, he was shocked and immediately called the two students up to follow.

Professor Sun went to the edge of the swamp with great interest, where he saw the water snake last night, turned on the camera, and stared inside the reeds.

I saw that where the water snake haunted last night, the bird's nest was empty, and even the young birds of the nest ** disappeared.

To be sure, it was eaten by a water snake. Not even the mother bird escaped the fate of being eaten. At night, waterfowl are blind and do not fly.

"Professor!", the two students chased after the professor in a hurry, panting at him.

"Why don't you sleep more? Professor Sun turned his head to look and found that it were the two students who carried the instrument yesterday.

"It's okay, we're young, we're not tired, why don't I help you with the camera?" said one of the tall students.

Professor Sun nodded, handed the camera to him, and explained to him some things to pay attention to.

"Remember, when you see an abnormal wave in that place, the camera follows you, don't miss it. After Professor Sun finished explaining, he walked along the shrubs and reeds on the shore of the swamp to see if there were any caves or the skin of snakes.

Rummaging through it, Professor Sun's luck was to find a snakeskin among a few stones in a bush.

Carefully brushing aside the bushes, Professor Sun took out the snakeskin and observed it.

"Teacher, this snakeskin must have shed not long ago, right?" asked the student who was following Professor Sun.

Professor Sun nodded, "Yes, no more than a week! The snake is about one meter two long and weighs about three catties." There is no doubt that it is a water snake, and one or two can be judged from this skin. But it is not a common Chinese ordinary water snake, and you still need to see it alive to be sure. ”

Professor Sun looked left and right, and led the students to the front again.

At the bottom of a pillar peak, Professor Zhou took Xiao Yong and a few soldiers to the dug boulder and looked at the quaint stone door.

Xiao Yong looked at the huge stone door that was one and a half tall and two meters wide, and asked Professor Zhou, "Professor, how do you open it?"

Professor Zhou glared at Xiao Yong, making him feel inexplicable.

"What do you see when you look at these two stone doors?", Professor Zhou pointed at the center of the stone door with the crutch in his hand.

Xiao Yong took a closer look and found some rough lines, but he still couldn't understand them, so he shook his head and said, "There are lines, I can't see clearly." ”

"Han Ming, tell Instructor Xiao about the line patterns and guesses you drew last night. Professor Zhou instructed his eldest disciple.

A young man with glasses, tall and thin, with a slender face and big, bright eyes, walked up to Instructor Xiao when he heard this, opened the folder in his hand, pointed to one of the paintings, and said, "Instructor Xiao, look. That's what I drew yesterday afternoon, before the sun went down. ”

Xiao Yong looked down at the paper and found that it was a vine, entwined like a hideous and terrifying poisonous snake, and an evil and terrifying aura came to his face!

The main thing is that the entwined vines seem to have no end to each other, and the first ones are connected!

It's best to shake your head and look at Professor Zhou suspiciously.

Professor Zhou also knows that it is impossible for them to understand these things.

"It's a mark! It means that the contents don't want to be disturbed, or the guardian pattern of the treasure, or someone who died and was buried inside, and didn't want to be disturbed!"

"Actually, we once found this pattern in an ancient tomb in the southwest. It was a chieftain's tomb in the Qin and Han dynasties, and there was a tomb guard stone door outside, and this pattern was also engraved below the tomb guarding beast. Han Ming explained to Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong also heard that this treasure was not simple, so he asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Han Ming nodded, "There is a mechanism, and I will move forward according to my orders." Anyway, today is to see the situation, not to enter. Explore the cave first!"

Yun Yang didn't know that what Professor Zhou found this time was not the place they had entered at all. Maybe there will be a shocking discovery inside.

Then Han Ming asked everyone to step back, and then asked Xiao Yong to send a warrior to drill a small hole in the top and bottom of the stone door, and then fix it with rivets, and then pull it back with a gourd!

Xiao Yong was amazed when he saw it, the stone door was still open outward. It is dense on all sides, and it is difficult to insert even the blade, and the skill of the ancients is amazing!

After fixing, a warrior twisted the gourd, and as the chain collapsed straight, the quaint stone door on the right made a "click" sound.

A few minutes later, as the soldier's sweaty arm pulled violently, the gourd turned, and the iron chain tightened, and the stone gate on the right side fell to the ground with a "boom", making an earth-shattering sound!

A black air stream rushed out, and everyone hurried away.

After more than ten minutes, Han Ming took out a device and slowly approached the cave, and waved his hand at the professor when he found that there was no problem.

The stone door that fell to the ground was at least fifty centimeters thick and weighed more than ten tons, and I don't know how those craftsmen in ancient times installed it.

Looking up, the cave ** was pitch black. Professor Zhou brought the miner's lamp and shone it inside, and the stone wall was carved with many stone carvings, and there was a thick layer of silt and dust on the ground.

"Teacher, this is not like a treasure, but like a tomb. Han Ming said cautiously.

Professor Zhou nodded and shook his head, "It could be a tomb or a treasure room. First, there is the tomb, and the bandits may hide treasure after discovering it. You didn't notice the stone door just now, and it wasn't as strong as the one from the last archaeology. ”

Han Ming was puzzled, "Impossible, how can they open this door?"

"Hehe!", Professor Zhou smiled faintly, and then took the lead in stepping into the cave. Xiao Yong was startled and hurriedly walked in front of him.

He's here to protect the treasure and teach them, and if something happens, he'll be finished.

After entering, Professor Zhou carefully looked at the relief carvings on the wall, and the roof of the cave was flat, with only some traces of knives and axes.
