At first, Wang Yihe thought that Mo Xie was observing the terrain, thinking about building roads, or how to reclaim the land, but after a few conversations, Wang Yihe knew that Mo Xie didn't want to manage this ranch at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's raining, shall we go back?" The sky was finally blocked by a dark cloud, and Wang Yihe breathed a sigh of relief, the weather here was too hot.
A cloud and a rain, this is too right, just when Wang Yihe and the others were not glad to go back, a torrential rain had already fallen.
The rain was not light, but it only rained for more than ten minutes, and after the heavy rain, the surrounding air became humid, and Mo Ye was even more reluctant to leave at this time.
He definitely can't stay here for a long time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Xie is still thinking about discovering a big mineral deposit, making a big news, and making a windfall, how can he give up easily?
Mo Xie didn't want to go, and the others naturally couldn't, so they could only wander around.
"Ahh At this moment, Wang Yihe let out a scream, and in this wilderness, the scream was particularly piercing.
"Huh? What do you think this is? Chen Erlei also shouted.
"What?" Mo Xie thought that there was danger, so he ran over quickly.
As soon as he ran over, Mo Ye saw something suddenly come out of a piece of red earth.
"Discover the lower undead!" Mo Ye was stunned, undead creatures? This is awesome!
"Catch it!" Mo Xie was excited and shouted directly.
"Don't get excited, it's a lungfish." At this time, Song Yuanhang spoke.
At first, I thought they had encountered a python, but when they saw it clearly, Song Yuanhang smiled.
"There's no water here, right? Where did the fish come from? Chen Erlei saw it clearly and found that it was indeed a fish, which looked like a snake at first glance, but it was definitely not a snake.
"Barramundi, the most famous and most famous in Africa, maybe this side was originally a river, so there are barramundi hidden." Song Yuanhang explained.
The peculiarity of this fish is the "summer hibernation", which burrows into the ground during the summer dry waters, wraps its body in a cocoon with secretions, and then pretends to be dead.
This state of suspended animation, which can last for months or even years, can last for months, or even years, when the riverbed floods during the rainy season, so some people joke that you have no chance of surviving (sleeping) compared to it.
This skill of playing dead against the sky has been cultivated for many years, and this fish, known as the "living fossil", is higher than the dinosaurs, with a history of more than 400 million years, and is distributed in the freshwater of Africa, Australia, and South America.
It was originally a marine fish, relying on its thin "limbs" to complete the relocation, which can not only walk out of the phalanx with the same hands and feet, but also move forward like a dog, which is considered by scientists to be the key to cracking the "evolution of aquatic animals to terrestrial".
This fish also has a special feature that it has two sets of respiratory systems, usually breathing with gills in the water, and using lungs when it comes ashore, and it has a simple primitive "lung (swim bladder)" with a simple structure, and gas exchange can be carried out through a thin tube in the mouth.
Perhaps it is because of this other ability that the Super Creature Detector will determine that this is an undead creature, although it is low-level, but it is already incredible.
This lungfish is almost more than 60 centimeters long, and the longest can grow to more than a meter long, and the lungs are almost as long as the body, so it is called a lungfish.
In drought conditions, it will drill a 20-centimeter-deep hole in the silt, clump its body into a ball, and make a cocoon shell with secretions and soil to protect its delicate body and reduce water loss.
It then leaves a small vent to breathe through the swim bladder and begins a long "summer hibernation", reducing its metabolic rate to one-sixtieth of its own fat, and sleeping until the next rainy season.
This habit of paying attention to health, sleeping long and sleeping well makes it extremely long-lived: the world's longest-lived fish is a 90-year-old barramundi from the Sheder Aquarium in Chicago, USA, named "Old Grandpa", which has been admired by more than 100 million people.
Encountering this strange creature, Mo Ye naturally didn't want to let it go, so this unlucky guy was caught and put into a plastic bag, ready to be taken back.
Of course, Song Yuanhang thought that Mo Xie wanted to eat it, because barramundi is delicious, especially in Africa, and the locals even went to dig it out and stew it to eat, I heard that it was delicious.
Of course, if it is not handled well, the muddy smell is a little bigger, but for Song Yuanhang, this is not a problem at all.
"Look closely, maybe there's more." Mo Xie's eyes lit up with excitement, and he knew that he could find something good.
Mutagenic genes were found in the ocean, and immortal genes were found on this continent.
Immortal genes! Just listen to the name and you'll know how awesome it is.
encountered this kind of good thing, Mo Xie naturally didn't want to give up, it was better to collect more if he could collect more.
"This one is enough for us to eat." Song Yuanhang thought that Mo Ye was worried that he would not have enough to eat, so he comforted.
"Yes! No matter how good things are, you can't eat too much, and if you eat too much, you will vomit. Wang Yihe said with a disgusted face, can this thing be eaten?
"Even if we wanted to find a few more, it wouldn't be possible, and who knows if there are any barramundi hiding underground?" Chen Erlei said with a smile.
Mo Ye looked at these guys speechlessly, isn't it just a little hot here?
As long as there is a harvest, what is a hot spot?
Therefore, Mo Xie carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and heat, and looked for it again in the surroundings.
He just doesn't leave, how to drop?
"This must be close to the creek, let's look for it." Song Yuanhang saw that other people couldn't stand the sunburn, and he didn't care about Mo Xie, just find a place to cool off.
"Haha, I knew it was a treasure land." After walking forward for a few dozen meters, Mo Ye made a discovery, but this time it was not a lungfish, but a gem.
The Australian continent is rich in gold, gemstones, copper, iron and other minerals, and there are many types of gemstones, but Mo Ye never thought that he would be lucky enough to find gems, but it was this kind of thing that he had no luxury expecting suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at the surrounding sand, Chen Erlei turned his head: "What's good here?" ”
Not to mention gems, he couldn't even find barramundi, so he didn't know what Mo Xie was talking about.
Mo Xie said affirmatively: "This place is just good. ”
"What's good here?" Song Yuanhang looked at the sand under his feet, this place already belongs to the desert climate, it doesn't think it's a good place because of grass and shrubs, right?
The rich people in the country are so pitiful that they have never seen good land, so even if they see the desert, they think it is a treasure land.
Song Yuanhang looked at Mo Xie with a sympathetic expression, there was only a bit of red earth here at most, and he really couldn't see anything good!
"There's a small river not far ahead, probably the dividing line of William's Ranch." Zhou Weiqiang said at this time.
Anyway, this land belongs to Mo Ye, since he said that it is good, then it is good, and this still has to be earned?
Song Yuanhang immediately said: "Let's go, go over and have a look, maybe we can have lunch here." ”
Where there is water, you can camp and find abundant ingredients.
There is a small river three hundred meters away, it is the rainy season, and it has rained again just now, so there is flowing water in the small river.
This small river is the southern boundary of William's ranch, however, Mo Xie's land only goes to the place where they parked just now, and the three hundred meters of land from here to the small river belongs to old William.
William Sr.'s ranch was fretted to the west by a lake deep into the desert, into which two small rivers flowed from the eastern mountains.
These two and one flow from northeast to southwest, and one from southeast to northwest, forming an angle, and the land in this angle belongs to old William.
I am afraid that the three landlords here used the two rivers as the dividing line to divide the ownership of the land.
When you come to the edge of the river and look at the slowly flowing river, there is no turbulent river here, which can only show that the precipitation here is really not high.
Because the weather was too hot, they saw the small river, and everyone else went to play in the water, but only Mo Xie was still walking around on the surrounding sand.
Others couldn't see it, but Mo Ye could see it very clearly through the super biological detector, from the creek to the north, under this piece of land of more than 700 meters, there was all sand.
This only shows that the river has been around for so long that every time it fills the channel, it changes course to the south.
In China, the diversion of rivers is a big deal because it causes flooding, but here, it is silent.
"I've heard for a long time that Australia is rich in resources, and this time I really saw it."
Mo Xie squatted down and dug up a place of mud and sand, which was more than three hundred meters away from the river, and it was time to leave Old William's land.
Since it belongs to his own place, he finds anything as if it belongs to him.
Looking at the light blue crystal-like stone in his hand, Mo Ye smiled, this is the legendary sapphire, right?
It is often reported in the news that someone picked up a sapphire in Australia, but I didn't expect that this time, Mo Ye also found it, since one was found, then there is likely to be a second one here.
So Mo Xie is lucky, but, compared to other lucky people, Mo Ye's discovery this time is nothing.
For example, not long ago, when Mo Ye checked the distribution of minerals in Australia, he once saw that in a place called "Gem Land" in Queensland, Australia, a man accidentally picked up a stone, and later found that it was a sapphire weighing 753 carats.
This stone is bigger than a golf ball, and it has been named "Sapphire Princess", and it is a very beautiful stone, it is covered in blue, like a big round golf ball.
Suo Moxie was not as lucky as that person, the sapphire he found was only the size of a bean, light blue, but very transparent.
Such a small sapphire, if it weren't for the super biological detector, if it weren't for the detection distance of the super biological detector reaching a thousand meters now, Mo Xie would never have been able to find it.
