Chapter 70: Reincarnated Monster (I)
A few days later, at noon.
"Master, master, the fossil has been dug up!"
An unkempt slave hurried to the floor and shouted.
"It's dug up!"
Lu Feng was overjoyed, picked up his tools, and hurried towards the location where the fossils were being excavated at the back of the village, and the guard Hull followed silently as always.
The excavation was not difficult because of the soft soil, and by this time the slaves had dug a thirty-square pit to expose the rock layer below.
The slaves had been working for some time, and the sound of shoveling echoed through the quiet woods, rope ladders hung from the earthen walls, and rudimentary cranes "creaked" and "crunched" to transport the soil from the bottom of the pit and dump it aside.
Seeing Lu Feng, the slaves stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng nodded slightly, and carefully stepped on the rope ladder to the bottom of the pit to excavate the soil wall of the fossil and observe it carefully.
This fossil is grayish-yellow in color, and looks like a leg bone, with only a small section exposed, and there should be other fossils in the vicinity.
Because Lu Feng had repeatedly instructed him before, notify him as soon as he dug up the fossils, and wait for himself to deal with them, the slaves lacked the corresponding knowledge of digging fossils, and if they were not careful, they would cause damage to the fossils.
I have studied the knowledge of historical identification, and I have a certain understanding of fossil excavation, although it is limited to theoretical knowledge, but at this time I have to bite the bullet and drive ducks to the shelves.
Opening the excavation tool he had specially made, Lu Feng took a small shovel in his hand and carefully removed the soil around the fossil little by little.
Until nearly evening, Lu Feng's arm was completely sore, and a total of three fossils were cleaned up, which could be identified as a leg bone, an iliac bone, and a vertebrae.
With these three fossils, it is not possible to determine what kind of creature it is for the time being, but Lu Feng has roughly judged that this is a fossil formed more than 60,000 years ago based on the half-life of carbon isotopes, which meets the requirements of performing the art of reincarnation.
It was getting dark, and there was no large lighting equipment after nightfall, so Lu Feng temporarily stopped the excavation, put away the three fossils, and returned to the baron's mansion, under the influence of exhaustion, after hurriedly eating and washing, he returned to his room and fell asleep.
The next day.
Lu Feng came together, washed and ate, ran directly to the edge of the ore pit, and continued to dig.
After five days like this, Lu Feng finally dug up all the fossils and brought them back to the mansion, hoping to get some clues about the creature from Yi Li.
To Lu Feng's disappointment, Yi Qian didn't know much about the aspect.
"Are there any books like this about fossil atlases?"
Lu Feng asked without giving up.
Yi Qian hesitated: "Even if there is, it can only be a large collection of books like the Imperial Capital Library, and there will be such an unpopular collection, and few people care about it." ”
Lu Feng suddenly had a headache, and he couldn't tell what kind of creature's bones this was, so he couldn't find the bloodline, let alone purify it.
Seeing Lu Feng's brows furrowed, Yi Qi asked, "It's important to identify this fossil?"
"Yes, before I left my world, I got a spell called Fossil Reincarnation, and now I want to try out the properties of this magic. ”
Lu Feng didn't mean to hide it, and directly told Yi Qian: "But you need the bloodline of this fossil creature, as well as some other materials, to carry out magic experiments." ”
Hearing this, Yi Qian was surprised: "Uh? I really can't understand the magic you are talking about, it's too brain-consuming. ”
Lu Feng shook his head slightly and said, "I'm still just experimenting, I'm not sure if this spell can really reincarnate the dead." ”
After a long silence, Yi Qian said: "I know a friend who has some knowledge of ancient history, I can write to him to ask about this matter and see if there are any clues that can help you." ”
Lu Feng was relieved at this time, and said thank you to Yi Qian, even if Yi Qian took out the letter paper and began to write a letter to the friend who was involved in the study of ancient history, Lu Feng also made up his mind to work hard to learn the knowledge of the direction of biological evolution in his own field of historical identification in the future.
The dissemination of information in this world is still in the backward stage of flying beasts and carriages, and it will take some time to receive the results.
During this period, Lu Feng was like a jigsaw puzzle, groping for himself to put the excavated fossils back to their original shapes.
As more and more fossils were excavated, Lu Feng gradually perfected a rough set of animal bones, with some bones obviously missing in the ribs and neck, and most of the nearby bones were cracked.
"Mortally wounded in the neck and abdomen, this ancient creature is supposed to have died from the attack. ”
Lu Feng speculated.
At this time, it was already winter, the cold wind was bitter, and the villagers were mostly closed at home, and the reply from Yi Qian's friend who was involved in historical research finally arrived.
Fortunately, based on the description of the fossil's features in the letter, the friend recognized that it was an ancient blue wolf beast, and that the now domesticated brindle hound was its descendant.
Knowing his bloodline descendants, Lu Feng immediately began to prepare to try a fossil reincarnation technique.
The main materials required for reincarnation, 1. Time attribute energy crystal, 2. Afterlife liquid, 3. Fossils over 1,000 years old, 4. Bloodline inheritance.
The first three storage rings are all available, and all Lu Feng needs now is bloodline inheritance.
With Yi Li's help, Lu Feng collected all the only three brindle hounds in the village and handed them over to the butcher to release the blood.
According to the research materials left by the unfortunate deceased mediator, the purification of the bloodline requires a number of mysterious processes, after collecting the blood, it first needs to be placed in a place where there is no sunlight at all for four days, Lu Feng directly put the sealed wooden basin into the storage ring, to find some books that record the accessory materials for the purification of the bloodline.
Four days later.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind hung over the window and made a sensational sound like a wolf crying ghost, and the stars and the moon were completely obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black.
The two mirrors are placed opposite each other, and the two oil lamps filled with the grease of the spotted hound are placed in front of the mirrors, and the cotton wick is lit.
Remove the wooden basin containing the blood from the storage ring and place it between the two mirrors, with the other materials lined up.
At this moment, the blood in the basin was almost coagulated, like jelly, emitting a disgusting fishy smell, coupled with the smell of lamp oil, Lu Feng only felt like a big stone in his chest, his breathing was not smooth, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Holding back the nausea, Lu Feng reached out and picked up the dirt on the tip of the grave wrapped in white paper, which was still wet when he dug it back, and it had dried out and cracked into powder at this time.
He poured all the clay powder into the blood, burned the white paper with the flame of an oil lamp, and threw the ashes into the half-congealed blood, and the dried blood began to bubble.
Stirring the blood, Lu Feng was surprised to find that the almost semi-congealed blood had returned to a liquid form, like ice and snow melting.
Lu Feng picked up another bloodstone and a few fire attribute crystals and put them in.
The flames of the two oil lamps flickered a few times at the same time, the smoke curled, and the stench in the room became even stronger, so that Lu Feng pinched his nose, and the basin of blood seemed to be boiling, "Gollum", "Gollum" continued to bubble blood, in the dim light, these blood bubbles looked like a hideous face screaming in pain!
During the churning, the color of the blood changed from black to red, which was extremely strange.
Lu Feng tried to stir it with a wooden stick again, but the bloodstone was completely gone, and it had completely melted into the blood.
Next, it's time for the ashes of the brindle......
