Chapter 487: Discovery
Xiao Bai still continued to stop Luo Qingyan from leaving, and his little paw pointed at the cave anxiously. Luo Qingyan saw Xiaobai's behavior very strangely, could it be that there were still treasures that had not been put away?
Luo Qingyan picked up Xiao Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, is there still a treasure confiscated in this cave?" Xiao Bai nodded and pointed forward with his little paws, Luo Qingyan walked in the direction guided by Xiao Bai, until he walked to the deepest part of the cave and found nothing.
Luo Qingyan asked, "Xiaobai, this is all over, there is nothing?"
Lu Mingxuan watched Xiao Bai's actions from the side and said, "Is there something wrong with the wall of this cave?" Xiao Yan, you take a shovel out, and I'll dig and see." See if you can find the problem. ”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he took out a shovel from the space and handed it to Lu Mingxuan. Lu Mingxuan took the shovel and knocked on the place of the little white finger for a while, and there was really an empty echo on the cave wall.
Lu Mingxuan knocked carefully again: "It seems that there are really potholes here, I'll dig and see." ”
Lu Mingxuan waved his shovel and dug it, but the rock on the cave wall was very hard and couldn't dig at all. Luo Qingyan took out a sapper pickaxe again, Lu Mingxuan was a good guy, and after a while, he really dug out a small hole, and immediately the wind blew in from the hole.
Lu Mingxuan continued to dig the rocks, and finally dug out a hole that could be passed through by a person. Without delay, the two of them went into the cave one after another.
Through the illumination of the overhead lamp, Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan found that it was a small cave. The cave is not big, but there is no rancid smell in it, and there is no shortage of oxygen, so it is not difficult to breathe at all. But there are several passages to other places, and I don't know which one to take. In the end, Luo Qingyan put Xiaobai on the ground and let Xiaobai lead the way.
Xiaobai understands humanity and obeys Luo Qingyan's orders to lead the way in front. Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan also left marks along the road so as not to get lost, if there was no way out, they would still have to return along the same road.
The two of them cautiously followed Xiaobai and chose a passage to walk forward. The passage is long and rugged, and it is supposed to be naturally formed, and if you don't pay attention, you can get scratched by the raised rocks. Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan followed Xiaobai for a short time, and there was a wind blowing from the front, indicating that this place was connected to the outside.
Suddenly the front opened up under the light of the overhead lamp, and they came to a large cave, which was very flat, but there was nothing strange about it. Just when Luo Qingyan was disappointed, Xiaobai ran back, squeaking.
Luo Qingyan knew what Xiao Bai had found and hurriedly followed Xiao Bai forward, and when Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan followed Xiao Bai to a big empty field, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Before their eyes was a white bone, but not human bones, but the bones of many huge animals. Luo Qingyan took out the emergency light to make the cave brighter. Luo Qingyan recognized the elephant's bones at a glance, and those long tusks were very easy to identify. There are many other animal bones, such as rhinoceros, crocodiles, tigers and other animals that Luo Qingyan can identify, and there are some that cannot be identified and do not know what kind of animal they are.
The bones of these animals are arranged in a very orderly manner, and they are all placed on platforms that extend upwards in the form of steps in the form of pyramids. And in the center of these platforms there is a stepped passage leading to the top of the "pyramid".
Luo Qingyan couldn't see what was on the top platform, but she felt that it must be the bones of very rare animals.
Luo Qingyan looked at these animal bones and said, "Brother Xuan, do you feel that this doesn't look like an altar, as if you are sacrificing something? These animals are all sacrifices." ”
Lu Mingxuan nodded and said, "I also feel like this, let's go up the stairs and take a look, I feel that there is something on it." ”
Around the pyramid-shaped altar are many huge stone pillars, which are carved with various patterns and inlaid with various colored gemstones, making the altar even more magnificent.
Lu Mingxuan still walked in front and protected Luo Qingyan behind him in case of any danger.
They slowly walked up the stairs, and Xiao Bai also followed beside them, but it seemed to be afraid of something, and it didn't dare to leave Lu Mingxuan and Luo Qingyan too far.
Luo Qingyan looked at the animal bones on each layer along the stairs one by one, which were basically huge animal bones, and there were several layers of elephants.
Lu Mingxuan and his wife didn't walk fast, but they also came to the top after a while. On the top level is a large platform on which a large skeleton sits.
Luo Qingyan almost screamed in surprise when he saw the skeleton, it was the skeleton of a big bird, because it had wings, a pointed beak and two sharp claws. The first time Luo Qingyan saw it, she remembered the dinosaurs she had seen in textbooks and TV. It's like a textbook fossil of a dinosaur called a pterosaur. The skeleton is so well preserved that if it were a dinosaur fossil, it would be a huge discovery.
Lu Mingxuan was also very surprised to see this huge bird skeleton, is there such a big bird in this world?
Luo Qingyan said in shock: "Brother Xuan, do you know what kind of animal bones this is? At that time, there were scientists who specialized in studying this, and the scientists simulated their appearance, which was the dinosaurs of ancient times. This skeleton is like a fossil of the pterosaur they describe. We must report the things in this place to the state, so that the state can send scientists to study them, and these things must also be secretly transported back to Huaxia, otherwise someone will definitely come to rob them. I guess this skeleton is already a fossil, and it should have been found here in the form of a skeleton in the first place. But in any case, this is a very valuable specimen. ”
Lu Mingxuan nodded and said, "Let's report to the authorities as soon as we go back, it will be a huge discovery." It's really worth it. What a bonus. ”
Luo Qingyan took a closer look at this dinosaur fossil that he thought was a pterosaur, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct.
After careful observation, Luo Qingyan did not linger too long in front of the huge skeleton that looked like a pterosaur, because at the top of the altar, there was a small cabinet at the top of the "pyramid". The reason why it is said to be a cabinet, not a coffin, is because its size simply cannot fit a person. It is a square stone cabinet with many patterns carved around it and inlaid with many precious stones. There is a lid on the top of the stone cabinet, and at each corner of the lid is a gold handle, which is inlaid with various gemstones, and the light shines on the various colored gems. Luo Qingyan was very curious about what was in this stone cabinet.
