Chapter 10 Terracotta Warriors of Zhenshan
Odd pterosaurs, a member of the family Ornithosauridae, lived 160 million years ago in the Middle Jurassic.
Just looking at the skeleton with only one wing in his hand, Yu Xian couldn't recognize the strange pterosaur at the first time, and the dragon hunting atlas directly gave the name and the completeness of this fossil.
Cow P!
Dragon Atlas Bull P!
Paleontologists have long hypothesized that birds evolved from branches of the dinosaur family.
As for images from traditional dinosaurs, for a long time there was no fossil evidence.
Later, Archaeopteryx, microraptors, etc., which were earlier than Archaeopteryx, provided a chain of evidence for the evolution of dinosaurs to birds.
One of them is the Odd Pterodactyl, whose wings resemble those of bats and belong to the wing membranes.
Although there are already a small number of fossils of Odd Pterodactyl in the world, Yu Xian dug up such a thing, which is enough as an undergraduate graduation achievement.
"Wuhu~"
The icy rain slapped on Xian's face, and his emotions quickly calmed down.
Now is not the time to cheer the Strange Pterodactyl fossils, everyone is still trapped in the Lotus Pond Mountains.
The Dragon Atlas has unlimited potential in the future, and it has to be able to get out alive.
"That's... I'm sorry, I..."
"Little brother is amazing."
"Huh?"
Raising his head, Yu Xian found that the eyes of Brother Dadao and the earth monkey did not look at the fossil pit, but locked in the direction of the forest in the distance.
Yu Xian subconsciously turned his head and looked at them in line of sight, first startled.
There was a bare patch of land in the forest, and the upper body of the black figure was exposed, clutching in one hand and holding a long-handled weapon like a war in the other.
The fright quickly turned into pure surprise, and Yu Xian realized that it was not a living person or a wandering spirit, but some artificially created dead object.
There are traces of artificial manufacturing in the deep mountains and old forests (-spaced-), it seems that the years are not shallow, and the high probability is related to the ancient tomb that Brother Dadao is looking for.
Brother Dadao said earlier that the direction of the route Yu Xian described was different from the map in his memory, but it was not too far away for the time being, and the map only delineated the general range.
Unexpectedly, I hit the traces related to the ancient tomb by mistake.
Or maybe the cemetery is too large, and the pangolins that were killed were hit in another place, but they could actually enter the cemetery from somewhere else.
"Cow's."
The earth monkey followed in the footsteps of Brother Dadao and went to see the figure.
Yu Xian thought that the marketing account system made the existence of zombies real in the middle of the mountain, and hurriedly prompted.
"Be careful, don't run into that kind of rice dumplings or something."
"Hahaha, no, it's just a terracotta warrior made of molten iron and stone."
Since the wealthy nobles hid the ancient tombs in the mountains, of course they did not want to be discovered, and it was best to look at them at a glance, the vast expanse was full of primeval forests, and no one knew that there was a big tomb in the mountains.
It's just that after years of geological changes, coupled with the heavy rain in the past two days, the iron and stone generals buried in the underground town feng shui have been exposed.
Brother Dadao approached to confirm the situation of the Zhenshan Terracotta Army.
Standing for a long time in the rain and sand and gravel, the armor on the terracotta warriors of Zhenshan was scattered, but fortunately, some of them were still buried in the ground, and the armor and a little rotten silk thread could be seen.
Piercing nails, long strips of metal nails have traces of the blue baking process.
Similar to the role of polishing and lacquering, baking blue is also a method of anti-rust treatment for armor in ancient times.
The terracotta warriors buried outside are so well-equipped, it is conceivable that the identity of the owner of the tomb is not simple.
During Brother Dadao's research, Yu Xian did not leave the pit where the fossils of the strange pterosaur were dug.
Roughly wipe the moisture off the surface of the fossil and wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in your backpack.
Yu Xian is an absolute layman in terms of ancient tombs, and he can't understand it in the past now, so just listen to the conclusion later.
Then study and study the dragon hunting map to see if there are any omissions in the pit.
When the dragon hunting map is activated, the pointing mark briefly jumps out and disappears quickly, meaning that the dragon and dinosaur cannot be found nearby.
It seems that there is only a fossil of a strange pterosaur in the pit.
It must be a fossil that Yu Xian personally discovered and successfully collected to be included in the dragon hunting map, and it is unknown what effect it can produce after being included.
However, even if there is no other function in the future, such an exploration system for finding fossils alone is enough to be used for a lifetime and shine in paleontological research.
Curious about the pterosaur fossils, Yu Xian opened his muscles and legs, and leaned towards Brother Dadao.
"How's going on over here?"
"Brother Yu Xian, thanks to you, I can locate it!"
It is difficult to be absolutely perfect in the location of the Yin Mansion, especially if there are not so many members of the royal family, the top dragon vein is selected, and there will always be an unstable direction of feng shui in all directions of the cemetery.
At this time, it is necessary to town the mountain terracotta warriors, rui beasts, sacrificial vessels, and all kinds of auspicious and evil things to suppress the corresponding position, so as to avoid the changes of mountains and rivers in later generations, and the amplification of unstable factors and affect the owner of the tomb.
Referring to the direction of the terracotta warriors in Zhenshan, combined with the current trend of mountains and rivers, and then referring to the map given by Uncle Dong, it is enough to make a fairly accurate calculation.
Brother Dadao muttered and walked around the Zhenshan Terracotta Warriors, and first opened the temporary raincoat made out of the tarpaulin, pacing back and forth in the rain.
"This way!"
"Okay!"
The earth monkey only took turns to rest for a few hours last night, and at this time it was a little tired, but when he heard the news, he immediately refreshed himself and walked quickly.
Yu Xian didn't want to continue to move in the humid environment, but he didn't have as good physical fitness as them, so he gritted his teeth and dragged his body that seemed to be hollowed out to keep up.
Silently hurried for about half an hour, turned the mound, and everyone's eyes lit up.
Behind the mound is not a destination such as a robbery cave, but a simple camp.
The muddy water did not completely wash away all traces, scattered fabrics and debris.
It stands to reason that the wave of tomb robbers, snatching food from under the noses of the six desperate households, should do as much as possible, hide the entrance to the robbery cave when they leave, and then eliminate all traces of life.
"They left with so much debris when they left, they must have met with something wrong in the tomb, so they didn't have the energy to deal with it."
Brother Dadao made a judgment.
Messy marks on such a large scale are not like four scarred guys can make.
It can be seen that they were originally more numerous, and the trouble they encountered was quite large, so that those veterans overturned.
The earth monkey nodded, "That's definitely not a preliminary exploration like us, they want to steal the good things in the tomb directly." ”
"Nine times out of ten, that's true."
Now that many people on the other side have been wiped out, there is nothing to delve into, and what should really be considered should be what trouble they have encountered.
If the remaining four people on the other side are not injured, it will be difficult for Brother Dadao and Earth Monkey to fight back on the premise of being inferior in numbers, proving that their overall strength is in place.
The danger of making these people suffer is also enough to threaten the three of us.
"Brother Dadao, there may be zombies in the cemetery."
Yu Xian directly gave a conclusion.
