On this night, the vicinity of Longtan was still calm, but in the lower reaches of the river, there was a small event.

Late at night.

The moon was large and round that night, like a disk, and the moonlight shining in the forest was beautiful, but not in the lower reaches of the creek.

The river water flowing out of the spring of Longtan is twisted and mean, some river sections are still relatively wide, there are about thirty miles of river sections from Longtan, because the terrain in front is higher, so the river water of this section is more urgent, below this river section, due to the perennial erosion of the river water, a long section of alluvial plain has been formed, that is, sediment, these sediments are piled up here, and reed grass grows on them, although it is autumn, these reeds do not have the condition of withering, and they are extremely energetic.

This section of the sediment is usually a paradise for many birds, because there are quite a lot of small fish and shrimp here, and there are many insects in the sediment, and birds nest here, and if they encounter a wild beast attack, they will fly into the sky to escape, and now the birds have flown into the sky, because this place has been occupied by wild boar herds.

Wild boars like this kind of place the most, there is mud and sand, arching quite refreshingly, occasionally can arch out of the mud and sand small crabs or reed stalks are delicious food, they don't care about those little birds.

The whole muddy water section is unusually messy because of the storage of wild boars, they are not environmentalists, and when the wild boars are arching happily, the water of the small river moves.

The pond formed by the river here is actually not small, and it is not much different from the dragon pond, and the animals will not notice that there is a big hole on the side, and it is from the big hole that something comes out of it and stirs the water.

First stretched out a head, this is a turtle's head, but this head is very big, is gray-white, and then the big turtle is very hard to pout the hole, it seems that the strength is also quite terrible, actually the hole mouth is bigger and bigger, and then the whole body squeezed out, fell in the pond, this turtle is so big, even the river seems to rise a section.

This giant tortoise is gray and white, even the turtle shell is the same, the limbs are also extremely thick, the diameter of the turtle shell is at least more than one meter, if Lin Bei is here, he will definitely be surprised, this should be a giant tortoise named Elephant Tortoise.

The tortoise is the name of the later generations, probably in 1600 A.D., that is, before the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards now appeared on an isolated island of this huge tortoise, because the limbs are thick and strong, comparable to the limbs of an elephant, so it is called the tortoise.

Why are elephant tortoises so big? Scientists have naturally speculated that the more reliable thing is that the turtle on the island at that time had no natural predators, and the food was abundant, and they became carefree and became larger, of course, this time to become larger may need to go through dozens of generations or thousands of years of continuous evolution, but it is certain that the size of the tortoise was quite large a long time ago, and the Three Kingdoms period was only 1,000 and 5 years away from the Ming Dynasty, and the size of the tortoise was naturally not small.

After the appearance of this tortoise, turtles appeared one after another in the hole, as if they were endless, and these tortoises were actually very large, and the smallest tortoise shell had to be more than half a meter, and soon the small river was occupied.

Naturally, this kind of movement can't hide from the wild boars that are eating there, but these stupid guys just glanced at it and then looked away, because they are already familiar with this kind of big guy, which will appear every few years, but it is not the food of the wild boars, so the wild boars will not care.

But the wild boars didn't care, but the tortoises seemed to be a little angry, they got together, and went towards the mud and sand, looking like they were going to have a big battle with the wild boars, and the wild boars naturally didn't know that this area was actually a good spawning ground for the tortoises, and the tortoises would bury their eggs in the mud and sand, and the mud and sand in this small river only had this section.

The number of tortoises may have exceeded a hundred, and the wild boars seemed to be a little frightened, screaming and retreating.

A wild boar that looked like it had just become an adult was angry, and lowered its head towards a tortoise, the strength of the wild boar was very great, the tortoise retracted its head into the shell, and the wild boar pushed up to the shell, but did not retreat the tortoise back half a point, because in the same way, the tortoise also had great strength.

Tortoises are definitely the most powerful of any turtle, they can even carry two or three adults and crawl casually, although they lack the means of attack, but when they want to defend, there are hardly any 6 creatures other than elephants that can push them away.

One by one, the tortoises climbed onto the muddy beach, but the wild boar herd had no choice but to retreat step by step, giving up the muddy sand to the big guys, and then, there was a earth-shattering howl from the wild boar herd, and then the wild boars slowly retreated, and they were ready to leave.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, it was already late, and the muddy beach was covered with a veil of moonlight.

The tortoises did not have any delay, they began to use their hind limbs to dig up the sediment, ready to lay eggs here, they came from far away, it is purely a tradition to lay eggs here, every few years, the tortoise herd will come several groups, but as time goes by, the tortoise herd comes less and less, if there is time for the old man to keep an eye on this place, you will know that after a while, the tortoise herd will completely abandon this spawning ground, because the number of baby turtles born here alive is too small, sometimes until the hatchling, But there is not even a single turtle egg that remains intact, because there are so many animals in the forest, and the animals in the forest have eaten all the eggs in the long time from laying eggs to hatching them.

The flock of birds standing on the branches stopped calling, they were all watching the big turtles fixedly, their eyes flashed with the sharp light of food, and when the turtles left, many birds would fly down, cut the mud and sand, and pecked at the turtle eggs, they were the first to enjoy this delicious meal, and then rats, snakes, foxes, and even wild boars would come in succession, and they were about to spend the winter and hibernate, and they urgently needed food and energy.

At five o'clock in the morning, the moon began to slide down from the sky, the tortoises almost finished laying eggs, these tortoises laid eggs are huge, can lay more than 100 turtle eggs at a time, each one is only smaller than a table tennis ball, a nest must not fit, so often dig several nests, and then the tortoise mother carefully cover the nest with mud and sand, they can do it, but this is obviously useless.

After laying their eggs, the tortoises began to leave, and the last tortoise sank into a hole in the pond, which was blocked by the sediment brought by the river.

Before the river had calmed down, countless birds had begun to cut the sand with their claws, pecking at the eggshells with their sharp beaks, and these birds had no eating etiquette at all, and they tended to peck at several turtle eggs, but only a small amount of them.

The squeaky sound also came from all directions, this is the cry of rats, the forest is full of mountain mice, the smell of egg liquid makes them a little crazy, and they begin to snatch this rare meal with the birds, some mountain rats are even very smart, they will push the whole turtle egg away from the place, if you are lucky, you can push it to their burrow, this year the rats also have to spend the winter.

As the day dawned, some of the early beasts began to go to the river to drink, and a herd of red deer ran leisurely on the muddy beach, and the turtle egg nest in the muddy beach was once again wiped out, and this is not the end, only the luckiest turtle eggs can remain intact before hatching, but is this the end of the disaster? Nature is not, even if they are lucky to be born, they still have to accept the test of nature, they need this small river to live independently until it grows to a certain size, and then they can leave, and in the meantime, there are fewer and fewer people who can leave alive, until there is no one, and then when the old tortoise slowly dies, this spawning ground will no longer exist zài, because no tortoise can still remember here.
