Chapter 54: Found It! Fossil discovery!
"Snake bear, did you find anything?"
A short boy with short dark green hair looked expectantly at the serpentine bear with something in the sand.
His bright amber eyes were filled with hope.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear comfortably holds its butt against the hole, releasing the debris in its body.
“……”
Shark Liang sighed and glanced at Meng Lei dejectedly.
Meng Lei was yawning, teasing the serpentine bear that kept circling around him.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear was not paying attention, and fell into the bear to eat, and he muttered a few words, and stood up energetically again.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear swung its big long tail from side to side, took a few steps back, and motioned for Meng Lei to continue playing with him.
"Wow!"
Meng Lei stretched his face with both hands, and grimaced at the snake bear with his eyes wide open.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear shrank its head, took two steps back, and hung its tail down.
"Are you afraid?"
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Meng Lei's mouth, poked his head out, and looked at the snake bear condescendingly.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear didn't find any beasts pounce for a long time, and when he heard Meng Lei's words, his spirits perked up and he let out a cheerful cry.
His four hooves kicked and knocked Meng Lei down.
Fortunately, Meng Lei had already put the elf egg on the rock next to him before making a grimace, so he just laughed and scolded a few words, "It's so heavy!" And they mingled again.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear selected by Shark Liang seems to have found something, and its four hooves are windy, and it trots all the way in a zigzag shape.
Seeing this, Meng Lei hurriedly stopped playing with the snake bear, quickly retrieved the elf egg, and beckoned the snake bear to chase after him.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear he had chosen dug through the sand, digging out a palm-sized red shard.
The fragment looks like a red star with four tips.
"This seems to be..."
Shark Liang was a little uncertain and looked at Meng Leidao.
"You can't be wrong, it's supposed to be a fragment of a star."
Meng Lei's eyes lit up, and he said firmly:
"The Star Fragment is a very beautiful gem fragment that glows red, and the one you picked up from the serpentine bear you picked up can be sold at a high price in the store."
"What is the approximate estimate?"
Shark Liang asked expectantly.
"4,000 gold coins, at least."
Meng Lei quoted a price that made Sha Liang unbelievable.
"What?
How can there be so many? ”
Shark Liang's face froze, as if he was in a dream:
"Meng Lei, are you sure?"
"It's going to be higher, not going to be lower."
Meng Lei smiled and patiently explained:
"My dad loved archaeology and treasure hunting, so I still knew a little bit about these things.
As far as I know, a much smaller fragment of a star than yours was sold for 1,000 gold coins, so I say 4,000 gold coins is a conservative estimate. ”
Sha Liang was a little stunned, he looked at Meng Lei blankly for 13 seconds, suddenly reached out and hugged Meng Lei's waist, and said with a smile:
"It's great to be able to sell it for so much money!"
Meng Lei also felt that life was a little wonderful, holding the elf egg with his left hand, and rubbing the palm of his right hand on Sha Liang's short dark green hair:
"You're in luck!"
"Hmm!"
Sha Liang nodded vigorously.
"There's only a little time left, so why don't we go back first?"
Meng Lei estimated the time and proposed.
"Let's go shopping for a while."
Shark Liang said with great interest.
Meng Lei smiled slightly, knowing that Sha Liang still wanted to hit the big luck again, so he agreed.
Ten minutes passed.
In the palm of Meng Lei's right hand lay an earthy yellow stone, on which an oval shell seemed to be carved.
Meng Lei held the elf egg in his left arm, playing with the earthy yellow stone in his hand, thinking in his heart.
The snake bear selected by Shark Liang dug up another green fragment in the next time, while Meng Lei's snake bear dug up this earthy yellow stone before the announcement of the end of the event, which looked like a fossil.
Fossils are the remains or bones of Pokémon living in the distant past, such as skeletons, turtle shells, and so on.
According to the history of the Orange Islands, it is not surprising that such marine fossils appeared.
However, in the past, although these fossils have been discovered, most of them are incomplete, and the fossils are basically the subject of research by archaeologists and the collections of some fossil enthusiasts.
But something big happened the week before.
The research team of the Red Lotus Island Pokémon Research Institute and Devon Manufacturing Co., Ltd. announced at the same time that they had developed a machine that could resurrect ancient Pokémon fossils.
The incident caused an uproar.
Archaeologists from all over the world have gathered to confirm the authenticity of the news.
But neither institution was able to demonstrate the resurrection of ancient Pokémon fossils on the spot.
As a result, many people have raised doubts, and the explanation of the two institutions is that in order to resurrect an ancient Pokémon, it is necessary to obtain its complete fossils.
In this way, the Pokémon gene can be extracted from the complete fossil through the fossil resurrection machine, and it can be recombined into a Pokémon.
As a result, the two organizations began to aggressively purchase ancient Pokémon fossils, and demanded that the fossils be structurally intact.
It's a pity that I don't know if all the fossils are incomplete, or if the fossil resurrection machine technology is immature, in short, the result is a failure.
But some of the ancient Pokémon's limbs have really been restored!
At this point, most people think that the machine should be fine, maybe the integrity of the fossil is not enough.
The fossil pterosaur is a Pokémon that has been extinct for a long time, but people have successfully deduced its appearance and habits through some texts left by the ancients.
In addition to this, there are many unknown ancient elves, all of which seem to be expected to be resurrected.
The fossil held by Meng Lei is very good as a whole, most of the body has no signs of damage, and only a carapace with two small holes chiseled is exposed.
"I wonder what kind of elf fossil this is?"
Meng Lei pondered in his heart for a long time and didn't come up with any clue.
When he returned with Shark Liang and gradually approached the entrance of the cave he entered, Meng Lei raised his eyebrows when he saw that the snake bear he had selected seemed to be still playing with the purple "lucky stone".
"Do you like this 'lucky stone' very much?"
Meng Lei squatted down, touched the head of the snake bear, and said softly.
"Trumpet!"
The snake bear nodded vigorously, and hugged the "lucky stone" on both forelimbs.
Meng Lei looked at it as if it was guarding against thieves, tightly protecting the "lucky stone", and said with a smile on his face:
"No, no.
It's not right for a snake bear to do that. ”
The snake bear's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he reluctantly let go of the "lucky stone" under his belly.
Meng Lei was stunned for a moment when he saw the snake bear's reaction, and then smiled:
"I didn't mean that.
I mean, you can't protect the Lucky Stone like that. ”
"Trumpet!"
Hearing this, the snake bear tilted his little head in confusion, and stared at Meng Lei with a pair of big goggle-like eyes.
"Well, I think you can do it."
Meng Lei stroked the gray and white hair on the back of the snake bear, and said softly:
"If you receive the 'Lucky Stone' in your body, no one will take it.
When you want to play, you can get it out of your body again. ”
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear's eyes lit up and happily pounced on Meng Lei.
Meng Lei was startled and almost threw the elf egg out.
"It's so itchy! Don't do this! ”
Meng Lei was afraid that the elf egg would be squeezed out, so he didn't drive away from the elf egg with both hands, so he could only sit cross-legged on the ground a little helplessly, letting the snake bear lick his right cheek.
"Trumpet!"
The serpentine bear seemed to remember something, returned to the same place, looked around, and found that no one else except Meng Lei and the two were looking at it, and immediately a white light surged up on its body to cover the "lucky stone".
"Trumpet!"
The "lucky stone" faded into a blanket of white light.
"It's amazing!"
Shark Liang exclaimed:
"I've only heard about this in books before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes."
"Yes, Pokémon are very special individuals, and they have many magical things that we don't know about."
Meng Lei stood up, patted the dust on his pants, looked at the serpentine bear that was constantly circling around his legs, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, it's time for the awards!"
