Chapter 122 Species that should have been extinct
This planet full of white deserts is not endless, in the past, Mo Yan and Su Cheng thought that this was a lifeless planet, because the two of them who had lost any ability to walk on their feet, which produced psychological hints.
"Brother," Su Cheng patted Mo Yan with his sweaty hand, "Have we been spinning around this desert before?" It was only an afternoon of walking and we saw a cactus in the desert, which we hadn't seen for seven days. ”
Mo Yan and Su Cheng followed Xiao Hei, and it didn't take a few hours for Xiao Hei to take the two of them to a place where there were 3 cacti, don't look at these three, if it is just these three succulents seen in the desert, it can also give the lost people a glimmer of hope to live.
Mo Yan and Su Cheng still cared about the thorns on the cactus, so they grabbed the bulbous dwarf cactus and uprooted it. At this time, Su Cheng and Mo Yan's hands were also strong, enduring the pain of being pricked, the other four fingers dragged the cactus, and used two thumbs to pinch along the root of the pluck, and the cactus was broken in half.
The two of them used their hands full of blood to dig out the flesh of the cactus, and the blood mixed with it ate a lot of food, I don't know if it was due to the hot weather that made the digestive function worse, and the three that were broken, the two of them just ate one and couldn't eat it anymore, and the rest of Xiao Hei was interested.
Finally, under the leadership of Xiao Hei, there was hope in the process of walking, in this planet without night, I don't know how many hours I walked, Mo Yan dragged his heavy body forward, only to hear Su Cheng shouting: "Brother, look!" ”
Su Cheng kept shouting excitedly, constantly pointing forward with his fingers, Mo Yan looked in the direction Su Cheng pointed, thinking that the two people had hallucinations due to lack of water and fatigue, or that there was a mirage in the desert, he didn't care about Su Cheng, and continued to hurry, and said: "We have hallucinations, is the cactus we just ate poisonous ? ”
But the ensuing wind overturned Mo Yan's conjecture, this wind was not a heat wave in the desert, but a mild and somewhat cool wind, coupled with a dense forest not far away, although there were still some doubts, but the touch formed by the wind across the body, Mo Yan gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a mirage or an illusion, rush it first." ”
When Su Cheng heard Mo Yan's words, he held up Mo Yan's arm and put it on his neck and ran wildly.
Xiao Hei's actions were even more ridiculous, at first he looked at the two of them with his mouth wide open, and saw that the two of them ran out a long way, and he turned on the trot mode, Mo Yan saw that Xiao Hei had surpassed him, and said sarcastically: "Who said that the turtle runs slowly?" The story of the tortoise and hare race is deceiving. ”
Su Cheng said through the words: "Xiao Hei is still a four-wheel drive. ”
When the two of them completely stepped on the earthy land, they had completely broken Mo Yan's doubts, this was a primeval forest, and the white desert was simply a world of difference, and the place where they settled was like a dividing line between a desert and a forest, a land of low grassland.
The two of them no longer had the strength to move another step, lying on the grass, and Xiao Hei had disappeared from the field of vision of the two unconsciously.
Mo Yan just wanted to open his eyes after waking up, he was instantly so frightened that he held his breath and didn't move, only felt a coolness on his face, as if something had just passed on his face, and heard a slight sound of digging soil in his ears, and from time to time there was a slag slamming on his face.
Mo Yan didn't know what kind of species there were on this unknown planet, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and kept coming up in his mind the species he knew before, snakes, gophers, crocodiles...
Su Cheng slapped Mo Yan and laughed, "Brother, if you don't get up again, your little black is about to be buried for you." ”
Mo Yan turned around sharply and took a look, it turned out that Xiao Hei was constantly kicking the soil with backwards next to him, Mo Yan's hanging heart finally let go, and he cleaned his face and picked up Xiao Hei.
When Mo Yan picked up Xiao Hei, he felt that the inside of his turtle shell was wet, and it was impossible for the land on the grassland here to have such a large amount of moisture, so he immediately reacted and called Su Cheng: "Look at Xiao Hei, he may have found a water source and came back." ”
Su Cheng stood up, looked at it, listened quietly, didn't see the stream, didn't hear the sound of water, and told Mo Yan: "The water source may be far away, if you put Xiao Hei down, it should be able to lead us to find the water source." ”
Xiao Hei is also really psychic, and he didn't stay where he was, but walked straight into the forest.
I haven't seen these dozens of meters tall trees for a long time, at a glance, there is no end in sight, I remember that the last time I saw it on the Red Mother Star where Wang Meng was, but it was only a dozen meters high, and the trees that did not see the sun covered the sun, forming a natural dark environment, which was obviously 20 degrees lower than the desert.
The area where the trees are not shaded by the trees is mixed with moisture, and it has a feeling like a sauna, and the temperature that is completely sheltered is very suitable for living creatures, and if I don't feel wrong, it should be around 27 degrees.
I didn't find anything abnormal along the way, not even a single animal was seen, and it stands to reason that such a good ecological environment should be extremely rich in species, but no.
Soon, Mo Yan heard the sound of water, and the temptation of this sound sounded better than any sound for them who were extremely thirsty.
Mo Yan and Su Cheng's footsteps also became slower at this time, trying not to make any noise, although they would make a sound by stepping on a dry branch, it would also make the sound even lower, and try to step it into the soil as much as possible, so as not to make a sound when they touched it again.
Mo Yan and Su Cheng relied on the sound of water they heard, squatted down not far away, and gently pushed away the half-human-high grass with their hands, and finally saw the flow of water, and Mo Yan, who couldn't help but be thirsty, just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Su Cheng.
"Brother, we may not be the only ones at the water source, and if I were a predator, this grass would be a great place to hide." Looking at Su Cheng's affirmative expression, Mo Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and took a step back.
Mo Yan asked Su Cheng: "If this is the case, there is an ambush at the water source, then the animals dare not come to drink the water, and they will die of thirst, won't this cause a vicious circle?" ”
Su Cheng smiled, "What about crocodiles?" ”
Mo Yan thought about it, continued to endure, and waited and watched.
Soon, there was a slight swaying of the grass diagonally, and a trajectory path was extremely clear, judging from the speed of this rapid movement, it should be no one tall, and soon a head emerged from the grass.
Mo Yan couldn't see what it was, and photographed Su Cheng, "Your eyes are sharp, look at what it is?" ”
Su Cheng looked at it and smiled: "It looks like a reptile like a skink." ”
The long skink-like reptile, its head looked up and down the environment left and right, probably to find that there was no danger, and quickly approached the water's edge.
Mo Yan looked at the skink and asked in surprise, "Have you ever seen such a big skink?" ”
Su Cheng was also shocked when he saw the skinks that completely exposed their bodies from the grass, skinks with a body length of one meter are indeed rare, but there is more than one, followed by more than one meter, the longest can be two meters, and there can be more than a dozen large and small.
Su Cheng patted Mo Yan on the shoulder and said, "Good guy, this family has come out." ”
This sound gathered all the attention of the skinks who were drinking water on the other side, and the smiles on Mo Yan and Su Cheng's faces gradually solidified, looking at more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring in their direction, cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"Brother, run?"
"Can't run, I bet they don't have a good look."
Mo Yan seemed to have made the right bet, Shi Longzi did not come here, but continued to drink water, without any intention of pacing.
Mo Yan and Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the skink who had not moved for a long time, and sat on the ground all of a sudden, regardless of how muddy it was.
Through the gaps in the grass, I can see that it is not that the skink is so big, even the wild vegetables that I have eaten on weekdays are huge, such as the bracken growing to half a person's height in the grass on the side.
"Hole... Hole... Confucius Bird! Mo Yan saw it clearly now, and kept stammering at the water source.
Because the Confucius bird in the mouth of this Mo Yan is very close to the nearest water source of Mo Yan, it is easy to see clearly.
"What is the Confucius Bird?" Su Cheng asked Mo Yan.
Mo Yan pointed to the Confucius bird and replied: "This is a bird that only existed in the Cretaceous period, and it has been extinct on the earth for tens of millions of years. ”
What made Mo Yan even more excited was that several velociraptors appeared after him.
Mo Yan patted Su Cheng excitedly, "If we have the object in our hands, I really want to go up and take a photo with the Lingluoran." ”
Su Cheng looked at Mo Yan with disdain, "This one covered in white feathers is a velociraptor dragon, besides, who believes it after you finish filming, others still think you are on the PS." ”
Mo Yan couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and soon tentatively walked to the river, first, he wanted to see these extinct species up close, and second, Mo Yan was really thirsty, and saw that the creatures here had some kind of contract in the water source, and they didn't fight each other. Just as the velociraptor could hunt the Confucius bird, and the skink could eat the raptor and the Confucius bird, there was no bloody scene between them, and Mo Yan was even more convinced that the water source was very safe.
Su Cheng didn't hold Mo Yan, and followed Mo Yan tentatively to the water source, those animals who drank water were full, washed their bodies by the river, and saw that there were uncommon creatures coming, what should they do after taking a look, and they didn't look at Mo Yan and Su Cheng with their eyes, some animals just ignored the existence of the two and drank water with their eyes closed.
This also made Mo Yan and Su Cheng drink the river water in front of them more boldly and reassuringly, after Mo Yan drank the water, he scooped up a handful of water with his hand and washed his face, and then scooped up a handful of water and threw it on the body of the Lingluotiosaur.
Suddenly, all the velociraptors fled in all directions, and what was even more puzzling was that the other animals also fled.
Su Cheng looked at Mo Yan with a smile, "These things are so timid. ”
Then the continuous shaking of the ground made Su Cheng unable to laugh anymore.
