Chapter 226: Rare Collections, Rarer Answers
A photo album has brought the relationship between the two sides closer at once. After sharing the stories in the album, Baoba, who was still in high spirits, warmly invited Wang Sheng and them to come elsewhere to share some of his collections.
"This is some kind of fossilized footprint of an ancient elf that I asked a friend to transport from the Sinnoh region. Judging from the depth of the footprints, it should weigh about the same as the fire monkey, and it is estimated that it also walks on two legs. But it's very different from the two toes of the fiery monkey, do you see, this guy has three front and one back four toe claws, quite sharp claw tips!" Boba pointed to a fossilized footprint in the glass case in front of him, and gushed at the three of them.
"Look at this, this is an extremely rare fossil species - the eggshell fragment of an elf egg!" After looking around several places, they came to a glass case, and Bobba introduced the collection to them with a bit of eagerness, like a child showing off a toy to his companions.
In fact, Wang Sheng and the others were indeed surprised. Because of the preciousness of this collection, I am afraid it is difficult to describe it in words!
Elves hatch from elven eggs, it's a well-known common sense. However, many elven eggs do not have eggshell fragments left after hatching their corresponding elves. Only a very small number of elf eggs will form a small number of eggshell fragments when they hatch into elves. Therefore, even the current elven eggshell fragments are quite rare.
What's more, there are certain environmental conditions for the generation of fossils, and fossils are not formed casually.
First of all, the object that generates the fossil must have solid tissue components, such as bones, hard shells, or other similar beings, and the larger the proportion of these solid tissues, the more likely they are to become fossils. Solid tissues such as feathers or jellyfish have a very small specific gravity. Although there are fossils that have been handed down, the conditions for their generation are extremely harsh, so the number is outrageously small. And eggshell fragments, although they are also hard, have a relatively fragile texture, and they are not very good fossil prototypes.
Secondly. The original existence of the fossil must be buried relatively intact and quickly buried in the ground. In the non-buried state, it is easy to be damaged or even destroyed by external factors, and eventually it becomes difficult to become a fossil. This is another harsh condition for something like eggshell.
In addition, everything is not always smooth when it comes to going underground, and in the long period of time that fossils are generated, a small change in the strata can destroy even the fossils that have already been generated. This is the last point that is fair to all, but it is also the main culprit that prevents most fossils from being unearthed.
To sum up, with these outrageously strict conditions, it is conceivable that the fragmented fossils of elven eggshells are rare. Not to mention one more point. The number and variety of elves in ancient times could not be compared to today's, which further reduced the possibility of elven eggshell fragments.
Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, in the final analysis, it is the same meaning, the fossil of this elf eggshell fragment in front of him, it is conservative to say that it is worth even the city. Put it in any elf research institute and you will be treated with the highest level of security!
At this moment, looking at the fossil that was close at hand, Wang Sheng actually felt dizzy for a short time, so he couldn't stand firmly. Even the girls supported each other so that they did not shake and fall to the ground. Influenced by this, the subsequent collections are all good things. But the three of them were a little absent-minded because they were a little stimulated.
When the last collection was introduced, Xiaoyu unexpectedly came back to her senses first among the three and asked Boba a question: "Excuse me, why are there eggshell fragments and footprints in the middle of so many fossils?" Even the tips of the claws and teeth are there, but we haven't seen even a complete ancient elf fossil?" As soon as this question came out, Wang Sheng was also stunned for a moment, yes, obviously the three of them could get a complete ancient elf fossil. With the energy of Bowba, it is impossible not to have a chance. But along the way, they really didn't see any complete Ancient Elf fossils, which is really strange in retrospect.
In the face of Xiaoyu's question, both Baoba and Takahashi laughed, but neither answered the question, but just led them on, allowing them to temporarily suppress the question mark in their stomachs and make them uncomfortable.
After a few turns and a relatively simple hallway, Bob smiled at them with a smug smile, "Don't you want to know why I don't have the whole Ancient Elven Fossil in my collection? Takahashi bowed knowingly, turned and pushed open the door at the end of the hallway.
Bright light burst in through the open doorway and sprinkled all over the people. For a while, there was a little too big a change in light, which made Wang Sheng's eyes squint very uncomfortably.
After a while, Wang Sheng, who had adapted to the new bright environment, opened his eyes, but was shocked by the scene in front of him. I saw a surprising lake in front of me, the sparkling surface of the lake reflected the brightness of the sky, and the fresh breeze made people unconsciously take a deep breath.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" exclaimed from the surrounding voices, which were the subconscious exclamations of the girls who were shocked by the water feature in front of them. It is no wonder that they were surprised that the scenery in front of them with this lake as the main body can be said to have reached a very high level. From the point of view, it should be located in the backyard of the mansion, then it should be an artificial lake, but everything here is not inferior to those natural lakes and mountains, enough to feast every visitor's eyes.
The surprise was not over, and while they were still soaking in the beauty of the lake, Boba nodded to Takahashi, who smiled and turned around and walked to a small platform near the lake. While the scenery and the like are nature-based, some of the appropriate viewing facilities are subtly integrated, as is the case with the occasional waterfront terrace on the lakefront.
"Papa, papa......" A series of clapping sounds with a specific rhythm resounded, echoing on the surface of the lake, accompanied by the light breeze on the lake surface for a long distance. Takahashi, who had completed this series of movements, turned sideways again and gracefully, bowed slightly behind everyone, and gave way to the main space of the platform.
"What is he going to ......?" Wang Sheng looked at Takahashi's demeanor suspiciously, and then looked at Baoba, but the latter didn't answer, just gave him an unfathomable smile, and then took the lead in walking to the open space vacated by Takahashi, and Wang Sheng and the others, who were full of doubts, had to follow.
Not long after standing on the platform, there was a small movement on the surface of the water not far away. The surface of the lake, which had been calm before, suddenly began to tumble slightly, as if something was about to float up from under the water.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng's expression did not change much, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts. Not only that, but his breathing became a little rapid, even though it was impossible for others to see without looking closely.
The girls took a small step behind Wang Sheng, and although they didn't think that Boba would show them anything dangerous, this way of slowly floating from the water still made them instinctively feel a little hairy in their hearts.
After only a moment's effort, two figures with a diameter of about half a meter gradually revealed their true faces from the water. When he saw them in full form, Wang Sheng finally knew why the structure and layout of the mansion in the front court were so special, because at least for now, the public appearance of either of these two figures would cause an uproar.
"Ammonites, spiral elves, lived in the oceans of ancient times. Able to defend itself with its hard shell, it can also float in the water by adjusting the air reserves inside the shell, and when it is time to move, it can use ten tentacles to skillfully paddle to swim. ”
"Fossil helmets, tortoiseshell elves, are generally thought to have appeared in the oceans 300 million years ago, and have been found from the bottom of the ocean to the beach. The body is protected by a hard carapace, and it is customary to use the eyes on the back to observe the movement around it. Along with the fossils, a small number of living organisms have been discovered, the only known living fossil-level elves, whose body form has hardly changed for 300 million years. ”
The voice of the illustrated book sounded from behind him, and when Wang Sheng turned around, he saw that the two women were each holding the illustrated book, facing the elf in front of him, and their hands trembled so much that they almost shook the illustrated book to the ground.
Trembling, she finally put away the illustrated book, and Xiaomei's voice could not hide her surprise: "This, this, is this really ......!"
"Ancient elves resurrected from fossils, like a fake!" said Bobba's voice, full of pride.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Sheng cautiously approached the two little guys. They seemed to be a little scared, and when they saw Wang Sheng, a stranger, approaching, they were all slowly retreating, and they all felt like they wanted to return to the water, and the high bridge on the side finally calmed them.
Squatting down, stretching out his hands separately, feeling the soft tentacles of the ammonite beast and the hard carapace of the fossil helmet, Wang Sheng was a little speechless for a while. Although he knew that the fossil elves could be resurrected through technological means, when all this really happened in front of him, it still gave him a lot of shock.
The girls squatted behind Wang Sheng, looking at the two little ones with the same eager gaze. Although they look a little old, they are still cute in appearance. What's more, two identical fossils are lying quietly in the bags of the two women, and they seem to see a certain future of their own from the scene in front of them.
Wang Sheng's thoughts were similar to theirs, and after only touching them for a while, he stepped back and gave the opportunity to the girls, and he came to Baoba, who had been watching with a smile on the sidelines, and asked the question that he, and the two girls, wanted to ask the most:
"The fossil spirit resurrection technique that resurrected these two little guys, is it from Red Lotus Island?" (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you Skynet for your support.
Many people have become accustomed to PM being an individual from the moment it hatches from the egg, and cannot find the eggshell. But in fact, the initial incubation has the performance of eggshells, and those who are interested can review it.
