Chapter 709: How Did Dinosaurs Disappear?

The pterosaur had always been vigilant around it, and for Shao Xuan, who had been feeding it for the past few days, although it was a little closer, it was still more afraid.

After a few days, this pterosaur has roughly returned to the state before it was frozen, and its reaction and perception are much faster, as soon as there is movement at the door of the secret room, it senses that there is not only Shao Xuan, but also more unfamiliar breaths, so it hides so quickly.

This way of hiding is not to learn from bats, but when it used to live in the mountains and forests, it would hide in the trees, behind the leaves or behind the dense branches when it was in danger, after all, it was small, not as unscrupulous as the large pterosaurs that dominated the sky.

Yes, after this period of time, Shao Xuan found that this pterosaur may have belonged to the small pterosaur class, and he probably couldn't see the large pterosaurs that he imagined that could be compared with chirping.

When Shao Xuan brought out the pterosaur hiding under the table, the others gathered around the table to take a closer look at this creature from ancient times.

"That's what you're talking about...... Pterodactyl?" Zheng Luo glanced at the pterosaur on the table, "It looks really weird, it doesn't look like a bird, and it's not a bat. ”

"Did it really come from a long, long time ago?" Ao tried to reach out and pull on its wings, but it dodged it.

It can feel the power of the Flame Horn Tinder, and it can feel the similarities with it on the bodies of other Flame Horn people, although it looks different, but the breath is similar.

Similar?

That's its first thought.

Although I don't understand why the looks of these guys in front of me are so different from it, and the size is so different, but this does not prevent it from understanding what to do, Shao Xuan has been training it for the past few days, and told it with actual behavior, attacking people with similar fire breath. It was to be punished, so it didn't dare to attack, it could only dodge, and its eyes were still vigilantly staring at the circle of people around it.

"It's hard to believe that it's been frozen for so long and hasn't died. It's just a little thing. Dokang raised his hand and gestured. It's not as big as the two nail-toothed beasts he gave Shao Xuan, it's really amazing vitality.

"Now that one has been found, Ah Xuan, what happened to the other beasts that lived in that era?" the retired old man Wu stroked his beard, "Judging from the insects and beasts in those ice cubes, as well as the revived pterodactyl, the beasts of that era are probably very different from today. ”

"Yes. The beasts of prey back then were indeed different from those now, but I don't know why they disappeared. I've had some thoughts these days, though. Shao Xuan said.

The people of Yanjiao didn't ask Shao Xuan how they knew this, because they didn't think it was important, even if they asked, Shao Xuan said that the ancestor told them. They will also absolutely believe what they think is important. It's just what Shao Xuan said, not where Shao Xuan learned about it.

Hearing Shao Xuan say this, the two retired witches were interested, and the others also looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan's next words. Shao Xuan said that the fierce beasts of the pterosaur may have lived in an era earlier than the ancestors of Yanjiao. That is something they can't imagine, let alone imagine what the situation was like in that era, and what kind of status were the people in that era?

"Why, you say? They're going to disappear?"

"Probably because of the tinder. Shao Xuan said.

"Tinder?" the others wondered, what is this about Tinder?

"I have found out in the past few days that this pterosaur, it is very afraid of the flame of fire, on the contrary, the flame of ordinary firewood, although it will also avoid, does not have such a strong reaction. Shao Xuan discovered this phenomenon when he tried that special method of slavery, and tried it several times in the next few days, and each time it was the same result.

"Afraid of the flames of the fire? Forget about other beasts, but don't you say that it can be revived because of the power of the fire? And it also has the breath of flames in its body, how can it be afraid?" People from different tribes will reject the fire of other tribes, but people or beasts with the same fire power in their bodies should not behave like this, such as the ones engraved in the tribe, they are not afraid of the fire of the flame horn.

"For this, I think it should know that the tinder flame I send out can't hurt it, but the fear reaction seems to be an instinct, as long as the tinder flame appears, it will desperately want to stay away and hide. I wonder if it had seen anything about fire before it was frozen?"

"Wait!" the two witches took out their pens and animal skin scrolls at the same time, and quickly recorded them before saying to Shao Xuan, "Go on." ”

Professional reaction, even if they retire, the two old men are still very interested in some things related to history, Shao Xuan said, even if it is a guess, they will record it, what if it can't be confirmed, maybe the descendants of Yanjiao can find the answer?

Looking at the records of the two old men, Shao Xuan continued.

"If, I mean, this pterosaur had seen fire before it was frozen, and it wasn't long before it was frozen, then it would have reacted like that. Its memories will fade after too long, but if it was seen shortly before the ice was frozen, it is more likely to have such a reaction after waking up. Generally speaking, the fire of the tribe will be placed in the fire pond, after all, in such a long time, there should not be a phenomenon of fire fusion. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, of course they understood what Shao Xuan said, even if it was on the other side of the sea, the time to fuse the fire would not be 100,000, million, 10 million or even more years ago, if it really existed at that time, it could only be the state of the primordial fire.

"Although I don't know what happened at that time, I guess that it should have been brought by the primordial fire, otherwise it would not have been so afraid, and the eyes it looked at the fire flame were not unfamiliar, but as if it had seen something familiar and terrifying. Shao Xuan couldn't perceive the thoughts in the consciousness of the pterosaur like he perceived the sapphire, that special method of enslavement, only for the bones, not for consciousness, what the pterosaur was thinking, Shao Xuan really didn't know, he could only judge and guess according to some details.

Shao Xuan's statement, everyone also accepts, in their hearts, fire is the most powerful thing in the world, if there is anything that can make all the beasts that lived in that ancient era disappear, I am afraid that there is only fire, other reasons they do not accept, is there anything more powerful than fire? They don't believe it.

"Speculation is speculation after all, and there are a lot of things that don't make sense, but no one knows what really happened at that time, except for it. Shao Xuan pointed to the pterodactyls on the stone table and was still vigilantly staring at the surrounding pterodactyls.

Because he had used a method of enslavement, Shao Xuan was not sure that he would successfully use the previous method of enslaving sapphire to enslave it again, the difference between these two methods of enslavement was too great, if one was not careful, this pterosaur would explode directly, in that case, not even a single bone residue could be left. Besides, after all, it was a long, long time ago, there is no need to ******** to figure it out, they are not archaeological, and it is better to dig a river and build a house by the Yan River if they have the energy.

The people in Yanjiao were just curious for a while, and they didn't mean to continue asking.

"You must take good care of it! Ah Xuan, if you can't take care of it, you can let the two old guys come. It's an ancient beast that has seen the fire a long, long time ago, and it survived earlier than the ancestors! This is alive!" Before leaving the secret room, the two Wu who had already left their posts looked back at the stone table reluctantly, among all the people here, except for Shao Xuan, the only one who was most interested in that pterosaur was probably only those two old men.

According to the meaning of the two witches, there is a great intention to use this pterosaur as a tribal mascot, Shao Xuan doesn't have that idea, this guy is not big, but his temperament is quite ferocious, and he is also a mascot? It's good enough not to hurt people.

After everyone else left, Shao Xuan looked at the pterosaur that jumped off the stone table and glided to the ground to find food, according to its performance today, it should be able to take it out in a few days.

Five days later, Shao Xuan left the underground chamber with a cage made of new bronze.

The cage was covered with a layer of cloth that was not too thick, and there were some holes in the cloth, and people outside could not see the situation inside the cage clearly through those small holes, but inside the cage, there was a pair of eyes looking out curiously from the holes.

Shao Xuan did not open the cage in Yanhe Fort, but kept carrying the cage out of the trading area and walked from the Yanhe Bridge to the Yanjiao headquarters.

The Yan River is digging a river, and the people involved include people from Yanjiao, Taihe, the Yu tribe, the Yu tribe, and some people from the surrounding tribes, and even a few people from the distant travelers.

It takes labor to dig the river, and these laborers can't all be people from Yanjiao and Taihe, after all, there are still things to do in other places, and the Taihe River is in the process of being newly built, and the manpower that can be separated is limited, so only some people can be hired. Some of the people around who are strong and willing to come to work can also use their labor to exchange a lot of things from Yanjiao, and Yanjiao also cares about two meals a day.

There are other people who want to join the expedition, but unfortunately they are a step late, they have already recruited enough people, and they are currently working on it.

The stone bridge on the Yan River directly intercepts the water surface of the Yan River, if you want to go up and down the boat, it will be quite troublesome, so after replanning, a river channel will be dug to bypass the petrochemical area from the upstream and connect the downstream, the amount of work is not small, but they are not in a hurry.

Having dug an artificial lake before, Yanjiao still has some experience in this area, and does not find it troublesome.

When Shao Xuan passed, he was digging hot.

Shao Xuan handed them a fierce beast brought over from the trading area as food for this morning's meal. After asking about the progress of digging the river and whether there were any problems, and hearing the person in charge over there say that everything was going well, Shao Xuan didn't stay too long, left with the cage, and walked towards the Yanhe Bridge.

"What is that the Great Elder is carrying in his hand?" a flame-horned warrior looked at Shao Xuan's back as he left, and asked his companion next to him.

"I don't know, but I can feel that there seems to be the breath of our flame horn fire inside, it's really strange, could it be that the Great Elder has engraved another fierce beast?"

"How big is the cage? It's even smaller, can it be a beast?"

"What else can it be if it's not a fierce beast? The Great Elder made a move, could it be just an ordinary beast?"

"That's right...... Hey, I'll know later, and the Great Elder will definitely release it. (To be continued.) )

PS: There are two more.
