Chapter 106 Quartz Cave
"No, I still haven't found it."

After staying in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area for four days, Yu Xian still found no new dinosaurs, so he reported the information to Xiao Xuri truthfully.

This time is enough to explore the tourist areas that have been developed. The only thing left is the upper part of Shenggu Mountain, the high-altitude areas that no one goes to on weekdays, and some ravines below.

Two days ago, when Yu Xian dug out two ammonites, Xiao Xuri was happy for a while, thinking it was a good sign.

From the perspective of laymen, prehistoric creatures lived with dinosaurs anyway, and if you dig ammonites, you may be able to dig dinosaurs.

Little do they know that although they have overlapping life periods, their starting points differ by hundreds of millions of years.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Xuri sighed, "Maybe our Shenggu Mountain is not so blessed."

"As I said before, there may be fossils buried in the mountains, because they are buried very deep, and they will not be found for a while."

Yu Xian expressed comfort, "Director Xiao, maybe with the development and construction of the tourist area, there may be surprises when digging the ground when laying the foundation."

It is almost impossible to effectively detect whether there are dinosaur fossils underground. Many fossils were discovered by accident during the construction of the project, so it has the name Dashuigoulong.

The very famous Mamenxisaurus, the type species named "Jianjian Mamenxisaurus", was discovered during the construction of the bridge.

"Dig the foundation..."

Mentioning these words, Xiao Xuri's eyes suddenly brightened, "Mr. Yu, our Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area originally planned to build an underground quartz cave scene, and we have excavated part of the mountain. Do you think there is hope?"

"You can try it, but... I've been going around and around these days, why haven't I seen similar attractions?"

Recalling the experience of searching in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area for nearly a week before and after, Yu Xian has no impression of attractions such as underground quartz caves.

In the evening, I lived in the wooden building provided by director Xiao for free. Yu Xian looked through the tourist brochure in the building, but there was no introduction that there were quartz caves in the scenic area.

"Hey." Speaking of the quartz scenic spot, Xiao Xuri sighed deeply, "The business of the scenic spot is going from bad to worse. We have made many efforts, and the quartz cave is one of them."

The construction of infrastructure happened to excavate beautiful quartz stones. After expert exploration, it was said that there were natural karst caves under the hillside, and there were many quartz crystals.

At that time, Xiao Xuri was very happy and felt that the scenic spot could be saved, so he used a small amount of funds for the preliminary development, and first set up a small area as a pilot.

The cost of cave reinforcement and lighting equipment was invested, but it did not attract too many guests.

One of the reasons is insufficient funds, and only a small part of the cave has been developed;
Furthermore, the gorgeous quartz caves are not too attractive. Even in places without quartz, tourist attractions can buy some colored crystals to create similar scenes.

"Not to mention follow-up development, the maintenance of the quartz scenic spot is a problem, and it has been abandoned for half a year."

Because the quartz cave is closed like a living area, some debris gradually piled up outside, and I didn't notice the cave in the depths when I passed by.

"Come on, let's try it."

"Okay!" Xiao Xuri hurriedly summoned the staff to bring flashlights.

The Quartz Cave scenic spot has been closed for too long, and the equipment inside has been transferred to other places, and the electricity has long been cut off, so you have to bring your own portable lighting tools.

Bypassing the accommodation area, Yu Xian discovered that the scenic spot leading to the interior of the mountain is very close to the small building, and within 10 minutes away, he could see a large pile of building materials.

Bypassing the building materials, the rough cement-reinforced hole is displayed in front of the eyes. The original plaque of the scenic spot leans crookedly on the edge of the rock, with faded and mottled font, which reads: Magic Treasure Cave

The name is really unattractive...

Xiao Xuri prepared masks, and everyone put them on and entered the cave one by one.

The developed area is not large, the staff said that it is about [-] square meters, because the cave forms a winding terrain barrier, giving people a deep impression that it is easy to get lost.

After all, I didn't come here for a tourist inspection. Yu Xian was too lazy to complain about how bad the cave design was, and concentrated on searching for the dragon.

Ancient Atlas does not respond.

The dragon-hunting map... click on the edge of the cave development location, and it really jumps out of the pointer.

Excited to be excited, Yu Xian couldn't directly say that there were fossils inside, that would be too outrageous.

"Can I look deeper?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Xuri knew that the probability of finding fossils outside the Quartz Cave was slim, and he felt a little heavy. Seeing that Yu Xian did not intend to give up, he immediately admired the seriousness and responsibility of this paleontologist.

"If you go deeper, you have to be careful. The inside has not been developed, and the degree of stability is not a problem. I am afraid that the ground will be uneven or there will be gravel falling from the top."

"Either way, you stay outside, and I'll go in."

In the depths of the cave pointed by the pointer, the rock passage just shrunk, allowing only a single person to enter while bending over.

There are too many people and crowded, but I can't use my hands and feet.

"Mr. Yu, be careful, there are many dangers in the cave."

"It's ok."

Turning around to thank the staff, Yu Xian introduced that as a paleontology researcher, he has seen many similar scenes.

This is true.

The underground karst caves in the Lianchi Mountains are a hundred times more dangerous than the quartz caves in the scenic area. Yu Xian just climbed up and down to find his companions in the cemetery and escape.

Drilling into the hole, you can smell the dust through the mask.

The lighting in his hand is just a decoration, and he has night vision with yin and yang eyes in his spare time, and he follows the guidance of the pointer.

There is no need to dig by hand. When the distance is shortened, the pointer suddenly turns and is directly nailed to the wall, indicating that the fossil is almost attached to the wall.

It was a cucumber-shaped protrusion with a slight curvature. Yu Xian guessed it was the rib or forelimb bone of a small dinosaur.

The body is close to the fossil, reaching the record range of the Xunlong Atlas, and new content emerges on the blank page.

General dragon, fossil completeness 56%
It lived in the Jurassic Period 1.5 million years ago and could grow up to 6 meters long and weigh 2.5 tons.

The completeness of the fossil is considered high, because the general dragon belongs to the stegosaurid family, and the bone blades and spurs on the back are hard, so it is easier to form fossils together with other bones.

It can be considered that the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area is unlucky. When developing the quartz cave, I explored more inside, and I might find this fossil protruding directly outside.

There is good news, Yu Xian doesn't plan to tell the outsiders immediately, just explore more.

When there are many people around, it is inconvenient to use the dragon-hunting map to find out, which seems too abnormal.

Go forward along the stone wall, and soon touch the end of the cave.

Counting the undeveloped area, the area of ​​the Quartz Cave is about the same, roughly the size of two football fields.

"Mr. Yu, are you okay?"

There was no movement inside for a long time, and the staff shouted into the cave, and the voice echoed in the narrow tube terrain, layer upon layer and spread far away.

"I found something here, just wait a moment."

Yu Xian sent a voice response, changed the route and returned, and the Xunlong map jumped to the starting point again...
