No one spoke, Typhon...... The name means bad luck and terror.

This is the ancestor of the hundred demons in Greek legend, who gave birth to a hundred monsters such as the dragon Ladon, the hydra hydra, the three-headed dog of hell Cerberus, the lion-headed goat-like monster Chimera, the sphinx the sphinx and many other monsters. If the rest day ever went against the current, these names ...... It is likely that it was around that time.

Qi Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "It is recorded above that Typhon has a head, more than a dozen tentacles, a body full of spikes, and dozens of air holes on both sides. At the tip of the tentacle are the mouthparts where it feeds...... This kind of appearance is too terrifying. But...... I discussed it with Lao Su, and there really is something that fits this look! ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Su Zifang, and the other party said solemnly: "Grotesque insects." ”

"It's a 500-million-year-old creature. One of the most abundant creatures of the Cambrian period. All the fossils found so far are not identical. The common denominator is that the body is covered with spikes, and there are multiple tentacles underneath. Moreover, there are studies that show that it once lived in water. Moreover...... Fossils of it have been found all the way to the early Carboniferous. ”

"It's evolving, in early Carboniferous fossils. It was found that the dozen or so long legs under it had become soft, and it was entirely possible that they would evolve into tentacles. And, because there are so few samples, we don't know anything about its habits. ”

Silent.

Only the sound of flames burning could be heard, and the temperature was getting higher and higher...... Jiang Xian took a deep breath and frowned, "And then?" ”

Su Zifang said: "You should have seen that the third floor is a myriad of rooms, and in these rooms...... It's all human! And in simple clothes! ”

"Human?!" Everyone's voices raised in disbelief.

Boom ——!

Before he could finish speaking, there was a violent collapse sound outside the door, as if a switch had been turned on, and flames rushed in frantically through the cracks in the wood. Jiang Xian looked around: "Let's go, let's go to a safe place first!" ”

With the presence of vacuum gloves, it was not difficult to climb down the steps that sloped sixty degrees. After more than an hour, everyone stopped at the top of the stairs. Looking up, I could only dimly see the swept firelight and the faint blue light cast from the cave where the dragon overhead rushed out.

The temperature has dropped considerably, and the air is humid. The staircase is too steep and too deep. It can be clearly seen that the pillars of the railing are already covered with green moss, and at the junction of the railing and the stairs, even a mushroom has grown. I don't know if it's because of the light, but the mushrooms here also have a dark blue color.

They emit a faint glow, and the further they go, the more mushrooms they get, and they are not small, the largest mushrooms can reach more than two meters. Stepping here is like stepping into a magical forest.

Jiang Xian squatted down, burned the moss with a lighter, and nodded: "Let's rest first, it's about a hundred meters away from the second floor." The humidity is high, and it should be difficult for the fire to spread here. Everyone is also tired, you can rest here for eight hours before continuing to set off. ”

The two professors were already panting, and even with the black technology of vacuum gloves, their age had become a burden. However, even if they were tired, they were extremely excited, because - the stairs were carved with wooden reliefs!

"This is a treasure of mankind......" Qi Mingyuan panted like a cow, but it was as if he hadn't heard Jiang Xian say something to rest. Staring at bloodshot eyes, he obsessively stroked the relief: "I hope the fire stops up above, these things burn out...... It's a loss for humanity as a whole! ”

Su Zifang didn't speak, just took out a magnifying glass, and his fingertips trembled and swiped over the reliefs. Jiang Xian glanced at them, didn't bother, and together with Qin Shen and Ling Xiaozi, set up the tent.

"Fortunately, this is where the giant is, and this staircase is more than three meters long, just enough to set up a tent. It can also leave us a threshold. After knocking the last nail, Ling Xiaozi stood up and stretched his old waist, sighing.

Qin Shen handed over the beef soup and compressed the biscuits. The self-heating device can be described as a survival artifact in this case. After a mouthful of warm beef soup, Jiang Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension of the night quietly dissipated. At this time, he felt that his nerves were tense.

No one spoke, but sat outside the tent, eating their food one bite at a time. In front of you is a mushroom jungle that glows with a ghostly light, and overhead is a misty and pale blue sky. A wisp of time and a feeling of quiet and good arise spontaneously.

Smack...... The lighter ignited a flame in the darkness, and Qin Shen lit a pack of cigarettes and threw one to Jiang Xian and Ling Xiaozi. Jiang Xian turned his head and smiled: "What? Didn't you lose this thing? ”

"I can't lose my life and roots." Qin Shen smiled, took a hard puff, spit out a piece of blue-blue smoke, and looked down with some distraction, where he could see, there was only endless darkness and countless groups of dark blue mushrooms.

"Really......" he flicked the ashes of his cigarette, his voice a little hoarse: "If you don't really come in, you will never imagine that there is such a magical place in the world." ”

"Carboniferous, the age of giant insects, the Celestial Dragon, the court of giants...... Who would have thought that there was such a huge space beneath Poyang Lake? ”

Jiang Xian took a puff of his cigarette and smiled: "It's not unusual, do you know that under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is a pure hollow area. This little space is a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Uszang Province. ”

"Really?" Qin Shen said in amazement.

Ling Xiaozi nodded: "Of course it's true, not only Wu Sizang, but also Tubo, it has been proved that there is a huge space below, and the seismic waves can't detect their heads." At least more than 100,000 square kilometers...... Cough...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! Damn, I really can't get used to this thing! ”

Jiang Xian glanced at him: "If you can't get used to smoking, don't smoke, why don't you learn this?" ”

Ling Xiaozi said angrily: "My face is full of question marks! You smoke so much as if it's unsightly, and it will be unsightly for you to learn it?! The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it? ”

Jiang Xian's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "Why do I smoke, don't you know?" ”

Ling Xiaozi's mouth opened like a duck and stopped talking.

At that time, Jiang Xian thought that he was already dying, and the last year was simply non-toxic and non-staining. In addition to drugs, every day in a nightclub, day and night upside down, smoking the best, drinking the best, relying on a good figure and a good face to hook up with I don't know how many ignorant girls - including Lin Ruoxue.

However, Lin Ruoxue was not ignorant, but fell in love with each other at a glance. The two can be said to have concubines. It's just that Jiang Xian wanted to run away after finishing up, but he was entangled in the spider silk spit out by the Lin Demon Girl.

If it weren't for Director Ma's proposal, Ling Xiaozi would probably have burned incense for him by now.

"It's done." Ling Xiaozi asked in a low voice, looking at his arms—how the fruit was stored in his personal backpack.

The fruit is not big, about the same as a small mouse. Jiang Xian nodded and didn't say anything more.

Qin Shen was very clever not to ask too much, along the way, he also saw something, Jiang Xian's main purpose was obviously not to find Yun Mengze—or not the main goal, the real purpose of his coming down was probably for the fruit that he had never seen before.

However, it has nothing to do with him...... He extinguished the cigarette butt, looked at the haze above his head with some melancholy, and said for a long time: "I really didn't expect that a person like Nagano would also die in such a place......"

"With so many people coming down this trip, which one is not elite? Pity...... I don't know how Fang Yunye is...... I've heard of his name for a long time. ”

Silent.

After a few seconds, Jiang Xian patted him on the shoulder: "It will survive." ”

Qin Shen smiled bitterly. Survive...... How can it be so easy.

This is the era of giant insects, no matter how strong Fang Yunye is, he can't be stronger than nature. Song Chaoyang's life and death were uncertain, the walkie-talkie could not be contacted, and Nagano died. Several captains...... He was the only one left......

Even Professor Wang, the object of protection, sacrificed ......

"I'm afraid I'll remember this trip for the rest of my life." He closed his somewhat sour eyes: "If I can go back alive......"

"Everyone!" At this moment, Qi Mingyuan's voice rang out: "Delay everyone for some time, before we leave tomorrow, we must figure out all the circumstances." Just now, Lao Su and I made some new discoveries! ”

No one minded, the two professors sat down next to them, Su Zifang took a sip of the beef soup handed over by Ling Xiaozi, and sighed with emotion: "With this mouthful...... My sensory nerves have softened me......"

Qi Mingyuan didn't eat it, he chewed on the compressed biscuits, and said quickly: "Before, we said that there are human beings below. At least tens of thousands of humans! Are you a little unconvinced? ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, he continued: "The relief just now once again confirms the cuneiform writing on the stone slab—humans did exist in the Carboniferous period!" Their relationship with the giants is one of dependence. Giants as leaders, humans as workers, together build a society! ”

Su Zifang poured a few mouthfuls of beef soup, raised his head and said, "It should be a slave society, and the giants at that time regarded humans as slaves. The reliefs on the staircase are all records of the giants' persecution of human work. Humans are responsible for feeding some organisms and farming, which shows that their social animal husbandry agriculture has begun to develop. ”

Qin Shen was a little incredulous: "Carboniferous...... Are there really humans? ”

"That's all I have to say!" Su Zifang became excited, and said hoarsely: "The current science speculates that human beings may have gone through several periods!" Extinct several times! Each time, it was almost synchronized with the mass extinction of life at that time! ”

"Do you know the Gabonese Republic of Africa?"

He spoke quickly: "This is a small country with a small name, but in the archaeological world, it is a big country with a great reputation!" Because...... There is a uranium reactor there. ”

"I forgot how many years ago I forgot that a French company imported Oklo uranium ore from Gabon, only to find that this uranium ore had already been used. Originally, the uranium ore content should be above 0.72, but the uranium they unearthed was only 03. After an in-depth investigation, a uranium reactor was discovered that had been operating for 500,000 years! ”
