Chapter 187: An Amazing Discovery
There was a commotion here, Lin Chuyin suddenly used the lamp to shine on the opposite side of the stream, looked carefully for a while, and then squatted down and touched it carefully, and then said lightly: "Well, there is a small hole in front, but I can't get in." β
"Where, where?" Hong Dali approached Lin Chuyin's side and looked at the waiting light: "Really, that little hole...... It's too small, isn't it? I guess only snakes can climb into it, right? β
No wonder Hong Dali was so surprised, that small hole is about the size of a human head, in fact, it was nothing, the problem is, from the hole from time to time a breeze blows, obviously, there is a ventilation passage inside, as for what exactly is, it is difficult to say. Hong Dali said, inhaled lightly, only to feel that the air here is fresher, and there is a faint feeling in the forest after the rain, and it can even make people feel energetic, and the environment does not seem to be very bad.
Lin Chuyin touched it left and right again, and suddenly said again: "There are often snakes passing by here, see what's inside." β
As she spoke, she took out her laptop and the flight video device from her bag, and after activating it, a slight buzzing sound came, and Lin Chuyin controlled the flight device to fly towards the entrance of the cave.
The flying device flew inside, and the laptop on Lin Chuyin's side was filled with images taken by the flying device.
The surrounding area of the picture is pitch black, and there is no light. The light from the middle lighting device can reach a distance of about three meters in front of you, and you can't see it from the inside.
Everyone held their breath and watched the screen on the monitor quietly.
In the beginning. There is only a very small passage around, and the location of the passage entrance is only about the size of a human head, and the further you go inside, the more spacious it becomes. However, after about ten meters, the space suddenly widened, and at this time it was enough for an adult man to walk upright. Farther in, after turning a corner, everyone was stunned.
Waiting for the light to illuminate half of the space, but although Hong Dali and the others were mentally prepared. Still taken aback by the current situation.
In a slightly shaky glow. Hong Dali saw that the flying device was in a huge space. The square in front of his Hongwu Villa is already quite a wide venue, two hundred meters long and one hundred meters wide, but this huge underground cave can be seen from the reflection of the dim light at present. The size was not much worse than the square in front of his house. It's even bigger!
Lin Chuyin controlled the flying device and slowly flew up. After taking a look around, the environment of this cave is divided into two parts. On the left is a large piece of land. To the right is a pool of water that cannot be seen, and in the distance it is dimly lit and difficult to see, but there seems to be a huge hole.
After glancing around, Lin Chuyin pointed the camera of the flying device at the center of the cave.
At the beginning, I could vaguely see a round object about three or four meters in diameter on the ground, large on the top and small on the bottom, everyone was puzzled, and I really couldn't think of anything like this shape at present, and this thing didn't look like it was man-made, but more like it was standing there.
If anything, it's like a giant bowl sitting there.
The flying device slowly moved forward, and when it got closer, everyone exclaimed!
Tang Muxin said: "What a big turtle! Ling Yi said: "Damn! Plug Xinzhen: "God, this must be from the ancestors, right?" Hong Dali said: "What a big one! β
It was an unimaginably large turtle.
A true giant tortoise.
A huge carapace is at least three meters long, about the length of a mid-size car, and oddly enough for the oversized tortoise. At first glance, the head resembles a crocodile, and the head and feet are not retracted into the turtle shell; The upper jaw at the front of the mouth resembles an olecranon, and when viewed from below, there are three longitudinal dorsal ridges on the dorsal armor, with many tooth-like protrusions on the edges, like saws, and each shield of the dorsal armor has protrusions; The closed eyes grow on the side of the mouth, and there are many dermatomes on the side of the head, on the chin, and on the neck, much like the pimples on the body of a toad, and a little like scales; Head, neck, abdominal armor, and countless arm-length tentacles.
"Hmm, that's it." Lin Chuyin took a picture of the flying device before and after, and then said slowly: "It's a big snapping turtle, well, it looks like it's been a few years." β
"Big snapping turtle?" Hong Dali saw that Lin Chuyin knew this thing, and hurriedly asked, "Hatsune, what kind of species is this big snapping turtle?" β
Lin Chuyin is worthy of being a science and technology house with an IQ of 18, he seems to have been in contact with this thing before, and he remembers it very clearly: "The big snapping turtle, also known as the crocodile bite turtle and the snapping turtle, is a freshwater turtle, and the requirements for the living environment are not high, the water temperature is below 10 degrees for deep hibernation, 15 degrees for hibernation below 15 degrees, 15-17 degrees can be a little active, 18 degrees or more for normal eating, 20-33 degrees for the best activity and eating temperature, a small amount of activity above 34 degrees, lying on the bottom of the water and in the mud and sand to escape the heat." β
"The giant snapping turtle is huge, with an adult turtle reaching a length of 75 centimeters and weighing up to 100 kilograms. The large snapping turtle is 60-80 cm long and can camouflage itself well in the water, while the tongue looks like a worm, usually still in the water with its mouth open and swinging its tongue, just waiting for the greedy fish to be fooled. β
"It's just that this big snapping turtle should be based in the southeastern United States, and it's hard to say how it got here and grew so big."
It turned out to be this thing, and Hong Dali gave a quite reasonable explanation for how it grew so big: "The thousand-year-old king is an eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, this old guy seems to have lived for at least a thousand years, it's not strange to grow so big." I wonder how it got itself like this? β
It's no wonder that Hong Dali feels strange.
Such a huge guy who broke through the limits of human imagination was actually lying in the center of this underground cave with his feet facing the sky, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Or if you stand there like a bowl, you can try it if you have turtles at home......
So, this super giant snapping turtle, the magic is here.
Just lying there is nearly two meters tall, looking at the body size, I am afraid that there are thousands of pounds, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao to turn over such a big body.
Everyone was watching, and suddenly the super big snapping turtle seemed to feel something buzzing around it, and suddenly opened a pair of huge eyes like footballs, which startled everyone.
Although it was far enough away, Tang Muxin still hid behind Hong Dali with a frightened "ahhh As for the others, the slightly less daring ones simply sat on the ground, trembling all over.
"Roarββ!!!
The camera of the flying device and the eyes of the giant snapping turtle met for a moment, and suddenly, the huge snapping turtle's originally closed mouth suddenly opened and let out a rumbling roar, and the whole cave seemed to tremble, and the ear drums of the people were numb.
The whistling sound was long, but it was full of a thick unwillingness.
Hearing the whistling sound coming from the laptop, Tang Muxin, who was extremely scared before, shook Hong Dali's arm desperately, and begged pitifully: "Dali, you see that it has been here like this for I don't know how many years, so pitiful, shall we save it?" β
In fact, there is no need for Tang Muxin to say, Hong Dali also plans to rescue this super rare giant snapping turtle.
After all, such a strange beast between heaven and earth is definitely the first time Hong Dali has seen it in his life, and what is especially rare is that it is a super large glans * head (this word Hong Dali said he likes it very much) There are faint scales on it, and it looks like it is almost complete, and it is an absolute divine object, if the ancient people saw it, it is estimated that it is likely to be regarded as one of the four elephant holy beasts Xuanwu.
It's just that although Hong Dali also felt that it looked very worrying, he thought about it, and still shook his head and said: "Don't worry, such a big guy, it looks like it will cost at least tens of thousands of catties, not to mention whether we can save it, that is, it can really be saved, but don't be eaten by it then, or be taken to the laboratory to slice and study something, then we will be sinners through the ages." β
He wasn't exaggerating. Although the chance of the snapping turtle eating him is unlikely, something else could happen.
Such a big tortoise, if it was really because of a few of them, it would be pulled to the laboratory and sliced or put into the zoo for exhibition by the state...... That's absolutely right, it's the sinner of the agesβthis big turtle really has the age of eternity!
Listening to Hong Dali's words, Tang Muxin could only nod.
After all, she is a very smart little girl, why doesn't she understand what Hong Dali means? This big snapping turtle just looks at its appearance, and knows that it is definitely not a creature to be messed with, what if it turns it over and can't control it? What if it bites someone when it sees it?
For a while, Tang Muxin was also helpless, and she was always struggling in her heart to save or not to save. After reaching the last point, Tang Muxin could only look at the laptop screen and whispered: "Big turtle, big turtle, if we save you, you won't make trouble everywhere, right?" Surely they won't eat us, will they? β
She said that the flying device really let her words out.
It is also strange to say that the giant turtle heard Tang Muxin's words, and actually spoke again and screamed happily.
"Ha Lu Ha!" Tang Muxin was very happy this time, and cheered: "Vigorously, it can understand what I say!" I'll just say, such a cute big guy, it must not be some kind of monster, hehe. β
It seems that this thing is really alive and well! Although it may not be able to understand what Tang Muxin said, it is still no problem to understand what Tang Muxin means!
This big snapping turtle has lived in this world for thousands of years, and it is estimated that it is the first time that someone has said that it is cute, and for a while he was angry, stretched out his limbs, and waved wildly in the air, and it seemed that he was not lightly angry.
