Chapter 37: Fossils

Xiao Ling looked at the round stone pillars standing densely in front of him, looked at Li Zhibao, and said, "Who built these round stone pillars here, can Li Lao see it?" ”

Li Zhibao has been observing carefully, and after listening to Xiao Ling's inquiry, he shook his head and said: "I can't see it for the time being, these columns belong to the modern architectural style, if you look at the architectural style alone, you can only guess that they belong to the nineteenth century later." ”

Xiao Ling was slightly surprised, and said, "Was it built by modern people?" This is somewhat surprising. ”

Li Zhibao said: "It's just that the architectural style belongs to modern times, but it's hard to say what era it belongs to." ”

Everyone walked in along the pillars as they spoke, and Yu Tingting said: "There are a large number of stone pillars here, maybe there are other buildings in front of it, and there are even written records left behind, and then you will definitely know which era of architectural ruins remains." ”

Sun Tao said suddenly: "Old Li, there is something in this stone pillar. He stopped in front of a stone pillar, and the searchlight in his hand shone on the round stone pillar in front of him, and turned back to Li Zhibao and shouted.

"Oh?" Li Zhibao hurriedly walked up.

Xiao Ling and Yu Tingting followed Li Zhibao and walked up together.

Xiao Ling's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the surface of the circular stone pillar that Sun Tao was referring to, with faint patterns, but because the light was dim, he didn't look carefully, and he could only see a blurred line substance on the surface, like something fused into the rock, but it was not clear, if it wasn't carefully observed, it was easy to think that it was the pattern of the rock itself.

The surface of other round stone pillars also has similar patterns, but these patterns are different, the depth is different, everyone thinks that it is the texture of the rock itself, only Sun Tao just unintentionally saw the pattern on the surface of the round stone pillar is relatively obvious, in the shape of a snake python, coiled around the column, he looked carefully with the help of the light, only then did he find something, it felt like this is not like the texture on the surface of the rock, more like the rock is sealed with something.

Xiao Ling walked closer, with the help of the light of the searchlight, he saw the surface of the round stone pillar that Sun Tao said, and he could clearly see a long snake-like pattern melted into the rock, he couldn't see what it was, but Li Zhibao suddenly said with a hint of surprise: "This is a biological fossil." ”

"Fossil creatures?" And they all gathered around.

Hu Shengzhe also walked over, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, this is the fossil of some kind of snake-like creature." ”

Li Zhibao took the searchlight from Sun Tao beside him, and shone the round stone pillars one by one in all directions, and slowly showed a trace of surprise on his face, and said: "These round stone pillars are all built using the fossils of some kind of creature, which is simply shocking." ”

Xiao Ling was also silently looking at the round stone pillars around him, and he could see that each stone pillar had vague or clear patterns on the surface, he thought that these were just rock patterns, but now he knew that they were biological fossils.

The discovery of so many round stone pillars, all made from fossils of some kind of creature, shocked experts such as Li Zhibao and Hu Shengzhe.

"Whose masterpiece are these?" Li Zhibao and Hu Shengzhe both saw the shock in each other's eyes, such ancient fossils have very important archaeological value, and they can be said to be invaluable, but now they have been artificially built into round stone pillars.

"It's a pity that almost all of them have been destroyed, and it is impossible to see what kind of fossils these belong to." Hu Shengzhe looked at it carefully for a while, shook his head, and had some regret on his face.

"Be careful, everyone." Xiao Ling spoke suddenly, lifting the saber he was holding with both hands, revealing a wary look.

Everyone was reminded by him, and their hearts were in shock, Li Zhibao and Hu Shengzhe and other members of the scientific expedition team immediately gathered together, and the team members led by Sun Tao quickly dispersed and protected them around.

Just now, Xiao Ling suddenly noticed that above the sea on the side of this piece of fossil cylinder, a big white hand was floating in the air, and in the dim light, the five fingers of this big hand could be faintly seen moving slightly.

The appearance of the miserable white hand must indicate that there is some kind of danger, Xiao Ling warned, and everyone showed a trace of nervousness.

Soon, ripples appeared on the otherwise calm sea.

The water waves spread around, and soon a black shadow floated up from the seawater, Xiao Ling's face sank slightly, his eyesight was better than everyone else, although he was separated by a distance of thirty or forty meters, he could still see clearly in the dark that these black shadows suddenly appeared from the seawater, not to mention more than a dozen, like a fish, with a body length of about three meters, and suddenly surfaced, extremely fast, and were coming towards the shore.

Although he didn't know if they would be able to land on the shore and attack everyone, Xiao Ling immediately let out a broken cry: "Everyone get out of here quickly." ”

Now there are only a few grenades and explosives left, and it will be very dangerous if they are attacked by hordes of predators.

Hearing Xiao Ling's interruption, everyone didn't dare to put it back, and immediately turned around and fled in the direction away from the coast.

Xiao Ling took the initiative to stay behind everyone, and observed from a distance while following the team back, but saw that more than a dozen strange beasts appeared from the sea, their movements were very agile, and they quickly climbed ashore, which made him take a deep breath, understanding that these are amphibians, which can survive in the ocean and move on land, and see that they move faster than everyone can escape, and sooner or later they will catch up with everyone.

This time it's troublesome.

From the appearance of alien beasts in the sea to the time they climbed to the shore, it was only a few tens of seconds before and after, at least more than fifteen alien beasts landed on the shore, Xiao Ling also saw their appearance clearly, the body of a crocodile head fish, with a snake-like tail, a body length of more than three meters, limbs thicker and longer than a crocodile, crawling extremely fast, landing on the shore, letting out a low roar like a cow's roar, rushing towards everyone at great speed.

Xiao Ling saw that there were continuous splashes on the black sea behind him, fluctuating endlessly, and he knew in his heart that the number of crocodile-headed beasts hidden in this sea area was far more than the dozen or so that had just washed up on the shore.

Everyone ran wildly, following the fossil columns one by one, and fled into the distance.

The roar of the cow behind them became faster and faster, and the strange beasts spread out in a fan-shape, like sharp arrows chasing after everyone, and soon chased within forty meters of everyone.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xiao Ling, who fell behind the team, took out the grenade hanging on his body without hesitation, pulled the safety bolt, and threw it at the crocodile-headed beast that caught up.

The grenade landed between the beasts with unmistakable accuracy, making a loud bang and exploding.
