Walking into an underground forest is like walking into a giant labyrinth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now there are many people speculating, that is, how big is the scope of the underground forest, at the beginning some people said that it is estimated that there is a city as big, and now this speculation has been confirmed to be unreliable, the range of the underground forest that has been detected has exceeded three hundred miles, and the straight-line distance has been out of Nanchuan, but it is clear that this is not the end of the underground forest.
So now people speculate that the underground forest is estimated to be the size of a Shu Province, and this range is already quite large, but many tourists are convinced of this, and some even speculate that the underground forest is likely to cover the entire China, and since these people dare to guess, they naturally have a saying.
There are a lot of fossils of animals and plants in the underground forest, and most of them are dinosaur fossils, the dinosaur fossils that have been found in the world or have not been found elsewhere are in the underground forest, and then the tree fossils in the underground forest are mostly cycads, alders and metasequoias, these three plants are the most famous plants in the Jurassic era.
This situation of the underground forest, so that a large number of tourists think that it was formed after the sinking of a piece of land in the Jurassic era, and the forest of that period is well known, the scope is quite broad, so to speak, at that time, 90% of the world's land was forest, and even Antarctica, the coldest now, used to have traces of dinosaur activity, so it is not surprising that this underground forest is larger than that of China, and the whole forest sinks, which is very normal.
However, this speculation has not been confirmed, even the underground forest is not larger than Shu Province has not been confirmed, but it does not prevent tourists from being enthusiastic about the underground forest, as long as you casually investigate the tourists in Repulse Bay, ask them where they want to go the most, and they will definitely talk about the underground forest, which has become the symbol of Repulse Bay.
Several cities near Nanchuan actually want to develop underground forests, at least they also want to get an entrance, but the underground forest is too deep, more than 2,000 meters, there are no pangolins, and it is not easy to make holes with drills, anyway, until now, the underground forest is still unique to Repulse Bay, but everyone believes that after Nanchuan broke out again, giant pangolins will definitely spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and then it will be a hundred flowers, and the underground forest will definitely have many entrances to come out.
There are eight catties and No. 4 to lead the way, quite fast, Xu Bo took off the coat on his body, pulled it on his body, and looked at Bajin: "I said Boss Lin, eight catties of hair is so long?" Doesn't it feel hot? ”
Bajin glanced at Xu Bo, and then lowered his head again, Bajin knew that Xu Bo was talking about it, but Bajin's surname is not like Xiaobai, it is the most honest of all the animals in Repulse Bay, and it is also the most thorough implementation of Qiubai's order, and the tourists' sense of existence for Bajin is quite low, even if Bajin now has a red deer antler on his head, but for Qiubai, Bajin is second only to Heimei in his heart.
"Eight pounds, is it hot?" Qiubai asked.
Bajin bleated, then shook his head, indicating that it was not hot.
"Don't look at the length of the wool of eight catties, but its body is very strange, anyway, I haven't seen eight catties sweat."
"Sheep don't seem to sweat, do they?"
"I don't know, but I don't sweat at eight pounds anyway."
"And what about this horn, just let him grow all the time? It's a little strange to look at. ”
"Then don't look at it." Qiubai said angrily, leaned forward, touched the red deer antlers, and after touching it, he felt that the red deer antlers felt a little warm, and said in his heart, could it be that this horn has really grown? Otherwise, there shouldn't be a body temperature, but the underground forest is also quite hot, so it may be the illusion of autumn white.
"By the way, Xu Bo, take me to the swamp to have a look."
"Mammoth Swamp?"
"yes, don't tell me you don't know."
"You have to know, there's a lot of people there."
Although the direction of No. 4 is not good, and the brain is stupid, it and Bajin have an advantage, that is, they resolutely implement Qiubai's orders, and No. 4 does not resist strangers, such as black eyebrows, if there is no order from Qiubai, black eyebrows generally will not carry guests, but No. 4 is different, no matter whether Qiubai orders it or not, as long as there are guests to touch it or pat it, it will not move or resist, a very well-behaved child, and the carrier is also very stable, anyway, Xu Bo does not feel bumpy at all when he sits on it.
Determined the destination, the two and three animals went straight to the mammoth swamp, in fact, the way there is quite easy to find, just look at the largest hole and drill in, the size of the mammoth is much larger than the person, only the big hole can accommodate their bodies.
After running in the underground forest for more than half an hour, running out of at least seventy or eighty miles, Xu Bo looked around, "It's almost, it's almost there." ”
"What about tourists? Why don't you see tourists? ”
"Tourists are not taking this road, this road is the road of mammoths, mammoths can be fierce, if you look at people, they will generally attack, and tourists are not stupid, where will they take this road." Xu Bo said angrily, everyone else walks with their feet, only he and Qiubai use animals to walk, so they naturally walk differently.
After walking a few miles further, after turning a few holes, there was a great light in front of him, and the sound of the noise reached Qiubai's ears, as if he had come to the market.
The space of the mammoth swamp is quite wide, dozens of miles, there are several huge pillars in between, the thickest one is said to be nearly a thousand meters thick, these large stone pillars divide this place into countless intersecting small places, looking at it, Qiubai can't see where the swamp is, but is full of people.
"What about the swamp?"
"In the most room, now there are guests here, you see these tents, some of them live for half a month, and there are also food sellers."
"Huh? Where is it? ”
As soon as Qiu Bai finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "Water chestnut, sell water chestnut." ”
"Did you hear that? Selling water chestnuts. ”
Water chestnut algae is the name of Autumn White Life, and now tourists say the same, anyway, they all know what it is.
"How? It's a long way from the underground lake. ”
"Sometimes people go to underground lakes to get water chestnuts to sell, but most of them dig in swamps, because they dig too much, and now the mammoths want to move." Xu Bo said helplessly.
Water chestnut is delicious, crisp and raw, if you add sugar and fry the taste is like millet, the price is not expensive, twenty yuan a catty, the consumption of tourists is quite huge, just like eating snacks, the underground lake is far away from here, so what you get over there will not be sold here, almost all of the things sold here are from the swamp, and most of the tourists know the law of mammoth's work and rest, as long as the mammoth is not there, it is when those people go to the swamp to dig water chestnut algae.
Because of the high consumption, the water chestnut algae around the swamp has decreased sharply, and it is probably for this reason that the mammoth will want to migrate, although tourists do not kill the mammoth, but unknowingly destroy the ecological balance of the mammoth, and the local flora and fauna that are too popular will become few, which is the law of nature.
"Let's go." Qiubai said, looking back at this place again, there are many tents, playing mahjong, playing cards, and even playing badminton and billiards, I don't know how these people moved these things in.
Xu Bo walked for a while and couldn't help asking, "Boss Lin, what do you think?" ”
"What?"
"Don't you want to take care of it?"
"What's the matter? Can't keep tourists from coming here? How is this possible. ”
Qiubai sighed and said: "People are social animals, where it is suitable for people, there are more people, this is a very normal phenomenon, although I dug out the repulse bay, but I can't control this kind of thing, besides, I don't think it's a problem." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"If you think about it, there are only two places where the underground forest is most populated, the first is the crater, where the terrain is as wide as the edge of this swamp, so it attracts tourists to stay, and now the underground forest is only found in a large area? It's probably less than one hundredth, and there must be wide areas like volcanic craters and mammoths in other places, and by that time, the tourists will be scattered and not just in these two places, you know? ”
"How long will that take?"
"With people like you, it won't take too long." Autumn white meaningful way.
Xu Bo touched his head and stopped talking.
There is no shortage of people like Xu Bo in the underground forest, they love adventure, like to explore, it can be said that now the underground forest can be explored to more than three hundred miles, all thanks to people like Xu Bo, think about a person walking an average of ten miles per hour, three hundred miles need to walk thirty hours, and these three hundred miles are not flat, the time is longer, if it is not for this kind of people who love adventure, it will rarely take so much time.
The next two of them are in a hurry, an hour, Qiubai can no longer see anyone on the road, wait until an hour and a half, not to mention people, there is no ghost shadow, only eight catties of footsteps echo around, the scenery here is roughly the same as the front, the fossils of various animals and plants, lifelike.
Xu Bo kept walking in front, looking left and right, and suddenly pointed to the front: "Boss Lin, look, that's the note I pasted." ”
A note was pasted on a one-man tall stone wall, a mark made by Xu Bo.
"How far is that from the mammoth?"
"It's not too far, it's estimated to be dozens of miles."
Dozens of miles, if it is on flat ground, it is a matter of ten minutes, but in this underground, turning around, Xu Bo sometimes has to stop and recall the location, and finally after another hour anyway, Xu Bo finally determined that the body of the mammoth was not far ahead.
Xiao Bai suddenly raised the snake's tail, flicked a whip in the air, and issued a warning to Qiu Bai, and Qiu Bai and Xu Bo suddenly stopped.
"Something?" Qiubai asked in a low voice.
The little white snake swallowed, sensing something in front of him, then nodded, and wrote with his tail on the ground: "Mouse." ”
Snakes have better sensing organs than their eyes, and even in the dark, they can make images of distant animals in their minds, so Xiaobai can know what lies ahead.
"Mouse?"
"It's already gone." Xiaobai wrote again.
Two kilometers underground are also mice? However, Qiubai naturally believed Xiaobai's judgment.
"Looks like lizards eat rats, right?" Xu Bo said suddenly.
"Do lizards eat mice?"
"Well, some big lizards eat rats, so rats should be food for lizards."
"Is it a mouse, just go to the front and take a look, isn't the mammoth's corpse in front? If it was a rat, it would definitely eat the carcass of a mammoth. ”
There are three animals to escort, Qiu Bai and Xu Bo are not afraid, not to mention that Xiao Bai is still the nemesis of mice, after turning a few holes, a mammoth and broken corpse appeared in front of Qiu Bai, and the smell of blood was quite strong.
The mammoth had been dead for several days, but it was not rotting, because there were no flies in the underground forest, and when Qiubai saw the corpse, the mammoth's torn stomach and viscous blood were slowly flowing down the ground, and a large puddle flowed.
Approaching, Qiubai and Xu Bo observed the wounds on the mammoth's body, showing signs of being bitten.
"It's supposed to be a mouse, can't you imagine that there are rats underground? I just don't know if these rats are on the ground or if they have been living underground. ”
"I must have been living underground, otherwise those lizards would have been discovered." Xu Bo pondered.
Monitor lizards are rare in China, if the mouse is ground, then Juxi can also go to the ground, with the monitor lizard found by Xu Bo more than one meter in size, it is indeed easy to be known, since no one knows, it means that the monitor lizard has been living underground, and the mouse should also live underground.
When the two were discussing, Xiaobai suddenly jumped out and threw himself into a hole, Qiubai and Xu Bo were slightly startled, and then saw a white shadow jumping onto the stone wall, and it disappeared after a few jumps, and it was quite fast, and even Xiaobai didn't pounce.
"Mouse."
"It's still white." (To be continued.) )
