Chapter 230: Brachycephalic Ichthyosaurus
When the male fish returned from hunting, he bumped into his mother-in-law coming out of the house with a human and a black fish, and the encounter scene was inexplicably embarrassing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info said it was a fish, but the male fish was very angry and immediately squeaked and pounced.
But its preferred target was not Li Jing, but the Black Fish Monster...... It is estimated that it is more likely that the black fish monster has a leg with his mother-in-law.
The black fish monster is not easy to provoke, and it doesn't need Li Jing's orders, it is like a bow and arrow shot out, and it crashes hard, and then ...... Then Li Jing pressed and held it down. There is really a huge difference in strength, and the provoked black fish monster hit it angrily, and it couldn't stand it at all.
Li Jing picked up the small one that was bitten to death on the ground, and felt a little pity, but the law of survival is like this, since it is dead, it is better to bring it back to the experts for research! The value of living specimens speaks for themselves.
When sending the black fish monster back to the Stone Tree World, Li Jing also let it shoot two big fish and bring them back to feast on the two fish-like creatures, and he began to return with heavy things. As for the two animals that were subdued, he didn't want to destroy this precious underground ecology, and there was no place to raise them, so he would better keep them here for now and make plans later.
"It's been five hours, why haven't you come up yet!" Jiang Yuanxin was very anxious and deeply uneasy.
The expert group is the same, even the food delivered by the hotel, they don't have the heart to eat, they wait one by one.
In addition to the people in the cave, there are many villagers outside who are looking forward to it, and if it weren't for the police control at the scene, they would all want to come in and wait. Especially the family that entrusted Li Jing to find someone, their nerves were tense all morning, they were afraid that they would not be able to find the bones of their relatives, and they were also worried that something would happen to Li Jing, and they were anxious and entangled, which was uncomfortable.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yuanxin, who had been monitoring the waterhole, suddenly shouted: "There are bubbles!" It's Li Jing! It had to be him! ā
Sure enough, when everyone heard the news and gathered around the edge of the pool, Li Jing finally got out of the dark river and slowly floated up the pool.
Compared with the previous dives, Li Jing's harvest this time can be described as fruitful.
"Ichthyosaurus! This is a short-headed ichthyosaur! How did he die? How did he die? Jiang Xishan screamed incredulously when he saw the living creature brought by Li Jing, and he was extremely out of shape, and other animal experts were similar, this thing really made the expert group sad.
"Ichthyosaurus? It's a fitting name, it was bitten to death by the big guy who ran out a few days ago. There is too little food underneath and cannibalism. Li Jing said and carefully handed over a large net bag, and the skull inside startled Jiang Yuanxin, who was holding him, but he still refused to let go of Li Jing.
"This is a human skeleton found, I don't know if the villagers are looking for it." Li Jingdao.
"Hand it over to the police first, and then return it to the villagers after they have done a DNA test to confirm it and rule out homicide." Jiang Xishan retracted his gaze from the ichthyosaur corpse when he heard that it was a human bone, but he still glanced back from time to time. It's incredible to find a live ichthyosaur, this discovery is so precious! Ichthyosaurus! I've only seen their fossils before, things hundreds of millions of years ago, and now I actually see them alive, how incredible!
"Here are the bones of some dead ichthyosaurs, and some scale armor." Li Jing took out another net bag.
"It's beautiful!" Jiang Yuanxin's eyes lit up when she saw those shiny scale armors, and she almost wanted to ask for a piece. The people on the side also sighed after taking it, which is simply a work of art. After all, the living ichthyosaur in front of it is too young, and the scale armor is small and thin, far less beautiful than these scattered ones, these are hundreds of years old ichthyosaur scales.
"This is also a very precious find! Lock it in a safe first...... I'll apply for some for you to take back as a souvenir. "Jiang Xishan knows that these things have some value, rare and beautiful. But this time it was an organizational task, and it was said that Li Jing couldn't take things back, but the situation was special, and he should apply for some for Li Jing.
"Then thank you, Academician Jiang." Li Jing said happily, in fact, there are still many such things underneath, after all, ichthyosaurs have been living below for thousands of years or even longer, and these are not the only ones who have died.
"These are some broken tiles and broken porcelain found below, and I don't know if they are valuable, so I brought them together." Li Jing took out another net pocket.
"It's valuable, it's certainly valuable, and it's very meaningful to study the historical background of the Dark River." According to an expert, although no one wants it in the market, the research value is very high.
In the end, Li Jing carefully took off a net bag from his chest, which contained crystal clear fish eggs, but he didn't dare to take it out of the water, for fear that it would be damaged, so he only said to the people next to him: "There are some fish and dragon eggs here, find a bucket, don't hurt the fish inside." ā
"How did you catch them, the environment has changed too much and hurt them!" One expert said nervously.
"There are many more down there, and the female ichthyosaur eats one if she is short of food, so I collected some and brought them up, hoping to breed more ichthyosaurs and save this species." Li Jingdao, if the female ichthyosaurus gave him another to eat, these experts probably wouldn't believe it.
"Go find a bucket to fill it in." Jiang Xishan hurriedly ordered, although it may not be possible to breed ichthyosaur cubs, but since there is a chance, you still have to give it a try, what if it succeeds?
After Li Jing handed over the fish balls to them for safekeeping, he was pulled up from the water, and after removing the equipment on his body, he put on the cloak given by Jiang Yuanxin and planned to go back to the hotel to change clothes. The weather is already a little cool now, not to mention that he has been soaking in the water for several hours, and his body temperature has assimilated the groundwater, and the temperature difference is too big and uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Expert Li! Thank you, Expert Li! ā
"Thank you for bringing our ancestors back, thank you!"
The villagers outside the cave have seen the bones, and they have burned firecrackers and incense candles and yellow paper according to local customs.
"Hurry up, you can't stand it, you can't stand it." Li Jing hurriedly went over and helped the old man in front of him up.
"Afford it! I can afford it! The old man's excited eyes were tears, his father had been lost for more than 20 years, and now he was finally back, he was excited! Then he took a thick big red envelope from his son's hand, and handed it to Li Jing tremblingly: "This is some care, Expert Li, you take it, thank you for bringing my father back from the underground, thank you!" Thanks! ā
Li Jing's pinch, I'm afraid there are fifty or sixty thousand yuan. Although this number is not much compared to what the expert group gave, the nearby villages are relatively poor, and they are very willing to come up with this money. Some people are reluctant to give money to salvage Lao Tzu when they see him fall into the river, let alone the bones of 28 years ago.
"You have a heart, this time I go down, I mainly need to work, the state has given me money, I can't get this anymore, you take it back." Li Jing declined.
"How can this work? What the state gives is what the state gives, and here are some of our thoughts! Now it costs thousands of dollars to open the coffin and pick up bones, not to mention that you have to go down to the ground, it is difficult and dangerous, you must take this money, otherwise we will be uneasy! The old man was very insistent and forced it into Li Jing.
"Otherwise, I will take 200 yuan and this red envelope, which can be regarded as an auspicious one, and you can take back the rest! What's more, burying the elderly also requires a lot of money, and I really don't want this money if you take it back. Li Jing said and took out the money from the red envelope, leaving only two, and stuffing the rest back into the old man's hand.
Seeing that they were going to stuff it over, Li Jing hurriedly tightened his clothes and said, "It's already there, there's it!" I'm going back to change my clothes, you guys go back and contact the police, stay, stay! ā
