Chapter 347: Underground Dwellers
readx;
I don't know how many years the water chestnut algae here has grown, anyway, the big patches are all over, Qiubai looked into the distance, the underside of the cycad tree is green, Qiubai peeled another one and threw it into his mouth, tsk and admire, there will be a mouth blessing in the future, nothing can be gnawed and played.

"Huh?" Qiubai wiped his eyes, lifted the carrot a little higher, and said to Xiaobai at the same time: "Xiaobai, swim forward a little." ”
Xiaobai swam forward a little, swimming to a position more than ten meters away from the passage, and Qiubai asked it to stop.
"The last time I visited, I saw something like an island in the farthest part of my vision, but why is it missing this time? Did I read it wrong last time? ”
Last time, Qiubai stood in the passage and didn't go into the water, but at the end of the field of vision, about seventy or eighty meters, he looked like an island, and he thought it was an island in the middle of the lake, but when he looked at it today, he didn't see it, and there were a few cycad trees floating there.
After thinking about it, Qiu Bai still decided to go over and take a look: "Xiaobai, swim forward, but be careful, there are crocodiles in this lake." ”
Xiao Bai slowly swam forward, Xiao Bai naturally did not dare to take Qiu Bai's words lightly, otherwise this master might really get himself to stew and eat, so he swam forward for fifty or sixty meters, Qiu Bai's vision could already see the water surface of more than 100 meters in front of him, but he did not see the island in the middle of the lake that day.
There are quite a lot of cycad trees here, many cycad trees are rotten, and the tree surface is covered with thick moss, Qiubai knows that there are insects in these moss, so he specially picked a cycad tree that looks relatively intact, slowly climbed up, and stood on it.
This kind of cycad tree is extremely thick, and it is no problem to stand on a few people, Qiubai stood on it and said to Xiaobai: "Find out how deep it is here, come back quickly." ”
Qiubai is also quite afraid, this is completely risky, without Xiaobai in Qiubai, he will be like the glowing fireflies in the dark, if there are crocodiles around, it is estimated that they will have to pounce on him and gnaw him, so they will make Xiaobai faster.
"Boss Lin, what are you doing?" There were tourists shouting loudly in the passage, and the sound came, which seemed extremely hollow and ethereal, where would Qiubai answer, just staring nervously at the water.
Soon, Xiaobai got out of the water and drew a number with his tail, Qiubai looked at it, Xiaobai said twenty meters, Qiubai was stunned, it was only twenty meters deep here.
"Forget it, let's go back." Qiu Bai looked around, and didn't want to explore anymore, Xiao Bai's combat power was not good, if it was a black eyebrow, Qiu Bai would not be so afraid, but Xiao Bai didn't feel at ease with Qiu Bai, and rode Xiao Bai back to the passage.
"Boss Lin, what did you do just now?" The tourist asked.
Qiu Zhi smiled: "Isn't there a tree over there?" I want to see what kind of tree it is. ”
"This is an iron tree, someone has already recognized it, it is said to be a cycad tree, cycads know, it is a prehistoric tree, the predecessor of the iron tree, very hard, these trees have not rotted because their body is hard." A tourist on the side of the road.
"You know?" Qiubai was really surprised.
"I heard what others said, there are a lot of talents among the tourists, and I have already seen it, and some tourists still want to get some back, but unfortunately these trees are too far away, and Boss Lin said that there are crocodiles in them, so no one dares to go down."
"Get it back? What do you do when you get it back? Burn? ”
The tourists laughed: "Of course it's not used to burn, these cycad trees look like old trees, they haven't rotted yet, the body of the tree must be very hard, it can be used for carving, making furniture or something, Boss Lin, if you want to get it, it's best to get it away as soon as possible, these trees are very expensive, even if they sell wood, these trees are sold for tens of millions." ”
"It's so expensive."
"Well, it's quite expensive, now the timber market is in short supply, especially large trees, there are fewer and fewer, if you want to buy it, you can sell more, by the way, if Boss Lin wants to sell, I have friends who are in the timber business, and they can give Boss Lin a high price." In the end, the tourist reveals his purpose.
Qiubai sighed, but he didn't want to sell it, it was too difficult to transport it out, with the ability of the black eyebrows, it is estimated that he could only transport a whole one at a time, or let them be under here, the food of the plesiosaur is still growing on it, these cycads may be used as a food medium for the underground lake, if they get out, maybe it will cause the plesiosaur to become extinct because of lack of food, although Qiubai is short of money, but it is not bad for this million, if he really wants to make money, he dare not say more, hundreds of millions of him can really come casually.
Although the temperature in the water is good, but the feeling of soaking in the water is really not very good, Qiubai is trying to climb up the passage to rest, but he feels that the water waves ripple a little, and he doesn't care about it, the water waves wave again.
"Xiaobai, don't move." Qiubai bowed his head and said.
Xiaobai raised his head aggrievedly and looked at Qiubai, it didn't move, Qiubai only heard the tourist suddenly exclaim: "Look, what is that?" ”
Qiubai raised his head and followed the gaze of several tourists, only to see that there were more than a dozen black shadows at the end of the line of sight slowly approaching this side, because it was relatively far away, so the vision was a little blurry, and he could only roughly see that the neck was long, and the body was quite huge, but it was somewhat similar to the plesiosaur.
"Plesiosaur, huh? It seems to be a dozen, they seem to be coming, are they coming over to eat? ”
"It's not like it, looking at the neck is so short and the body is big, which of you can see clearly?"
Qiu Bai also felt that he didn't look like a plesiosaur now, because the necks of those animals were very short, as if they were two meters long at most, but their bodies were very huge and a little round, and the necks of the female plesiosaurs that Qiu Bai saw last time were longer than the necks of these animals.
Just when Qiubai and the tourists were expecting those animals to get closer, those animals seemed to feel something, and stopped at the end of Qiubai and the tourists' field of vision, just enough to see, but it also happened to look very clear, the neck and body moved, as if they were eating, they should be eating water chestnut algae.
"Grass, why can't you come?" A tourist surnamed anxious scolded that the focus of his camera was adjusted, and he pressed the shutter when he waited for the animals to come, but he didn't want the animals to stop, which made him anxious.
This kind of looming is the most sultry, Qiu Bai couldn't help it, just about to pass, I saw Xiao Bai suddenly look in one direction, as if he was very vigilant, Qiu Bai quickly followed Xiao Bai's gaze, with the help of Shen Nian, I saw Qiu Bai more than fifty meters in front of the right several crocodiles swimming quietly from the bottom of the water, the direction of swimming was not the dozen animals, but in the opposite direction, as if to avoid.
These crocodiles are gray-black, similar to the color of cycad trees, and they are quiet when they swim, if they are not observed with divine thoughts, Qiubai really can't see them, these crocodiles are big and small, the small ones are more than one meter, and the big ones are four meters long, they swim very fast, almost when Qiubai found them, they swam out of Qiubai's divine range, and then Qiubai can't see it, and the tourists don't see it.
Xiaobai's vigilant expression relaxed, which means that those crocodiles did not swim towards Qiubai, and Qiubai is a little strange now.
As we all know, the crocodile can be said to be the overlord in the water, the crocodile is a powerful representative in the water, it is a creature standing at the top of the food chain, and the huge crocodile is even more terrifying.
In Qiubai's thoughts, the crocodiles in this underground lake definitely belong to the overlord level, don't you see that they can prey on plesiosaurs, then this is strange, if the dozen or so animals in front of them are plesiosaurs, crocodiles don't need to avoid it, their ferocious surnames and superb hunting instincts will prompt them to quietly hide aside, wait until the prey is alone and then suddenly burst out, herbivores are very timid, and generally will not rescue their kind.
"Aren't those dozen animals in front of you plesiosaurs? Is it a third creature? Qiubai could only give such an answer: "And this creature should be very powerful, otherwise it won't make a hegemon like a crocodile retreat, so what would it be?" ”
Qiubai squinted his eyes and looked forward, but he still couldn't see clearly, his neck was so short and his body was big, could it be a turtle with a long neck?
"Boss Lin, go over and take a look, see what it is?"
"That's right, Boss Lin, go over and take a look."
"Otherwise, let Xiaobai take me over to have a look, and I'll take a few photos and come back, Boss Lin, do you think this will work?" The tourists on the side are more curious than Qiubaidu.
"I'll go over and see, Xiaobai won't listen to you." Qiubai was originally very curious, this was probably the third animal in the underground lake, so he pushed the boat down the river and let Xiaobai quietly step forward.
Leaning against the stone wall and moving forward, Qiubai walked not far forward, and before he could see what kind of animal was in front of him, he was stunned to find that the water here was already very shallow, only one or two meters deep? Anyway, Qiubai can see the bottom, Qiubai thought he was dazzled, and when he got off Xiaobai, he could touch the bottom of the water with his feet.
"So shallow?" There was a soft feeling at the bottom of the water, this is the silt at the bottom of the water, there is not much silt, there are stones under the silt, Qiubai stood in the water, and his neck could stretch out of the water: "Could it be that this is the shore of the lake?" That's why it's getting shallower and shallower? Damn, it was a little bit worse last time, and I knew it would be better to let the iron claws dig more. ”
Qiubai finally knew why there were so many cycads and water chestnut algae here, because it was next to the shore of the lake, and if the lake water rippled, it would push the floating objects located in the lake to the shore, and there was silt, the water was not too deep, and it was also suitable for the growth of water chestnut algae.
Looking back, the passage is no more than thirty meters away from this side, Qiu Bai is really speechless, as long as the iron claw digs more than thirty meters last time, he can know the situation here, but unfortunately Qiu Bai did not let the iron claw continue to dig.
At this time, Qiubai could already see the general appearance of the dozen or so animals in front of him, and seeing these animals, Qiubai suddenly had an incredible feeling, because he didn't expect that there would be such animals underground, which is a snake, this is a dozen elephants.
Two meters long is not the neck, it is the nose, the round is not the body but the head of the elephant, Qiubai was completely wrong just now, and at the same time Qiubai also saw the two tusks of the elephant, the length is really amazing, growing from both sides of the mouth, drawing an arc, each tusk is estimated to be two meters long.
These dozen elephants are very large, because half of them are in the water, so Qiubai can't see the whole picture, but Qiubai thinks that these elephants are bigger than the elephants they usually see on TV, the length should be between four and five meters, the rock-like gray and black skin, obviously the skin is rough and rough, plus the huge tusks, no wonder even the crocodile has to retreat,
"There are elephants in this lake? Did I cross over? "Qiubai has a magical feeling, I am not surprised to see a crocodile in the lake, and I am not surprised to see a plesiosaur Qiubai, but the elephant, or a dozen elephants, really has a sense of disobedience.
"Boss Lin, do you see what it is?" There was a tourist shouting in the back.
Qiubai turned around and made a horn with his hand to his mouth: "I see it clearly, but I feel like I'm dreaming." ”
"What the hell is it?"
"Could it be a dinosaur? Boss Lin, don't sell it, say it quickly. ”
"Elephants, it's actually a dozen elephants, I thought I was dazzled."
"Ugh." When the tourists heard this, they were also stunned.
"Elephants? Are there elephants here? ”
"Boss Lin, aren't you really dazzled?"
"Damn, I've wiped my eyes several times, it's really a dozen elephants, and they're bigger, bigger than ordinary elephants, and the tusks are also very long, it's strange that I can see it wrong."
"Boss Lin, come back and take me to have a look."
"I'm going to take a look, I'm going too."
Qiubai asked Xiaobai to bring him back, but did not bring these tourists over, but borrowed a camera from a tourist, and ran to the front again to take a few photos of these elephants and brought them back, the tourists on the side leaned over to look at the photos, and a tourist suddenly exclaimed: "This is not an elephant, this is a mammoth, no wonder it appears underground, mammoth in some languages is the meaning of underground dwellers, but mammoths have been extinct two or three thousand years ago, I can't think of it here." ”
"Mammoth?"
"Damn, so mammoth?" (To be continued.) )
