sabotage expert

Is this really a skeleton?

Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others were stunned!

Ning Xiaofan hadn't recovered yet. At this time, Professor Zhao also saw the giant skeleton, and immediately let out an exclamation. He rushed to the huge skeleton in three steps at a time, and stretched out his hand to caress the skeleton while , and trembled in his mouth: "It's true, it's true, it's not a fossil, it's not a fossil..."

Seeing Professor Zhao was so excited that he couldn't speak, Ning Xiaofan and Fatty couldn't help but look at each other.

"Well, old man Zhao, can you recognize what kind of creature this skeleton belongs to?" The fat man asked carelessly. He has always lacked respect for these experts and professors, and he called old man Zhao directly.

"I don't recognize it." Professor Zhao replied simply, but his eyes kept staring at the skeleton, reluctant to leave it for half a minute.

"Don't recognize it? Then why are you so excited?" The fat man rolled his eyes.

"You know what a fart, kid! This skeleton is more precious just because you can't recognize it!" Professor Zhao swears angrily.

Is it more precious if you don't recognize it?What is the logic?The fat man rolled his small eyes, and couldn't help but want to sneer again, but a flash of understanding came to his mind, and he couldn't utter the sarcasm immediately.

Isn't that right? If you can't recognize it, it means that this creature has become extinct. Isn't an extinct creature more precious?

But Ning Xiaofan thought of a deeper side at this moment, and asked, "Professor Zhao, do you think this skeleton is not a fossil?"

"That's right, this skeleton should not have existed for more than a year, and the flesh and blood on it didn't corrode under natural conditions..." Professor Zhao pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "If you don't believe me, take a closer look, the skeleton There are many fractures on it, and there are traces of gnawing. It should be attacked by some kind of creature, or fell to death from a height, and then was gnawed by some kind of creature, and finally became this skeleton. .”

After listening to Professor Zhao's explanation, Ning Xiaofan and Fatty could see clearly that there were indeed many fractures in this skeleton. The leg bone, which was more than twice as thick as an elephant's leg, had been broken into two pieces, as if it had been thrown from a height. dead.

Looking up, there is a dark cliff with thousands of blades, the top of which cannot be seen at a glance due to the dim light.

Recalling that Professor Zhao said that the flesh and blood of this huge skeleton was eaten by some kind of creature, Ning Xiaofan, Fatty and the others couldn't help being startled, with a trace of nervousness in their eyes. You know, this skeleton is big enough to hold The flesh and blood of this giant creature has been devoured cleanly, leaving only a skeleton. Then, what kind of terrifying creature could it be?

It doesn't look very safe here.

Ning Xiaofan's heart tightened, and he quickly called Lao Wang and others who were staying at the spot to come over and join them. After that, Chen Biao and Hou San were arranged to guard nearby.

At this time, Li Wanting, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "Professor Zhao, this skeleton is too big. I can't think of any creature with such a large skeleton except for dinosaurs. Do you think it was left by dinosaurs?" down?"

Dinosaur?No way.When Ning Xiaofan and Fatty heard this, their hearts skipped a beat again, this thing is beyond their ability to deal with.

Professor Zhao smiled wryly and shook his head: "It's hard to say, in fact, I also think it's a skeleton left by a dinosaur...but...this is too incredible..." As he spoke, the eyes of Professor Zhao shone with excitement again , the words changed: "However... it is not difficult to get a conclusion, just test the DNA. In short, no matter whether it is a dinosaur or not, it is already a great miracle to find such a giant creature in the tiankeng. "

After speaking, Professor Zhao greeted the two young scholars who came with him, took out the testing equipment, and began to busy measure the skeleton volume and collect genetic samples.

Professor Zhao and the others were busy talking there. At this time, Lao Wang, Xiao Shanzi and the others had already approached. When everyone saw the huge skeleton, they were equally shocked and inexplicable.

Everyone gathered together, and Ning Xiaofan originally planned to find a place to rest for a while, seeing that Professor Zhao and the others were too busy for a while, he simply signaled everyone to rest on the spot.

The edge of the river beach belongs to the beach area, and many strange-shaped rocks are scattered among them, many of which are smooth and flat.

Ning Xiaofan randomly found a relatively flat rock and sat down. At this moment, the fat man came over, took out a cigarette, and threw one to Ning Xiaofan.

The two lit cigarettes, and while the clouds were puffing, the fat man said with a worried expression, "Xiao Fan, it's too evil here, and there's no shelter, we'd better leave early..."

Ning Xiaofan glanced at Professor Zhao and the others who were busy there, and said, "Forget it, who knows where this road leads? It doesn't matter if you leave early or late, let's talk about it after Professor Zhao and the others finish their work."

"Oh, why don't you understand? What I mean is, let's leave old Zhao and the others alone. These guys are helpless. If something happens, how can we care about it? You are not I don't know, this ghost place is very evil, not to mention the monster we met not long ago, just this skeleton is scary enough to look at, think about it, this skeleton was eaten by some creature, we have to meet If it arrives, it is guaranteed that we will not be able to eat and walk around, so it is good that we can take care of ourselves."

Ning Xiaofan pondered for a while and said, "That's what I said, but don't you want to know what this skeleton is?"

"Think about it, can't you see it?"

"So, Professor Zhao and the others are useless, don't you think they are doing research? After all, Professor Zhao is an expert in biology. With him here, we can at least know what species this skeleton belongs to."

The fat man said noncommittally, "That's not necessary. In my opinion, it's probably a dinosaur. It's fine to know that dinosaurs are not."

Ning Xiaofan smiled lightly: "Dinosaurs also have meat and vegetables, don't they? The carnivores and vegetarians are quite different. With Professor Zhao's help in the analysis, we will have an idea in our hearts. Even if we meet , so as not to panic.”

After hearing this, the fat man blinked his small eyes and said, "From what you said, it seems to make sense, that's all, since old man Zhao is still useful, let's take it with you. But let's talk about it first, we won't be able to take care of it when the time comes." , it’s no wonder Fatty is dying to save me.”

Ning Xiaofan was unambiguous, and said with a smile: "If you encounter any danger, just take care of yourself. As for Professor Zhao and the others, if you can help, you can help. If you can't, you can only blame them for their bad luck. gone."

The fat man chuckled: "If you say that, I'm relieved, I'm really afraid that your heart will soften and you will sink yourself in..."

..............................

The rest time was extended by half an hour compared to usual. After Professor Zhao and others had finished studying the giant skeleton and started packing up the testing equipment, Ning Xiaofan called everyone to get up and hurry.

The appearance of the giant skeleton made Ning Xiaofan vigilant. Unavoidable emergencies occurred, so he deliberately doubled the manpower of Pathfinder, from two to four. Even the more powerful 95 automatic rifles were also concentrated on Pathfinder. Used by Hou San et al.

When posting temporarily, Ning Xiaofan also specifically asked Professor Zhao, what species did the skeleton belong to?It's a pity that Professor Zhao's response was quite disappointing. Although the DNA was collected, it could not be detected for a while. It had to wait until camping at night for further analysis and comparison, which took a lot of time.

In other words, if you want to know the result, you probably have to wait until tomorrow morning.

For the rest of the trip, everyone kept a high degree of vigilance, and this place that looked like a river beach was open and unobstructed. Once they encountered any monsters, everyone really had no way out.

Fortunately, as time passed quietly, everyone walked down the road without encountering any danger.

However, everyone felt that the temperature here was getting lower and lower, so that there was a thin layer of hoarfrost on the surface of the stones and plants on the river beach.

Plants and stones can give off a halo, and through the thin hoarfrost on the surface, it gives people a sense of crystal clearness, especially the various plants, such as fiery trees and silver flowers, which are enchanting and beautiful.

Just when everyone was immersed in this beautiful spectacle, there was still a deep layer of hidden worry hanging over everyone's hearts.

Along the way, everyone found a lot of skeletons, some scattered and some relatively complete. These skeletons may be large or small. The complete ones include giant skeletons as high as seven or eight meters and nearly ten meters long, and some as small as about a foot. skeleton.I can't tell what species it belongs to, but the further you go, the more bones, weird shapes, piled up like a mountain, and there is an unpleasant smell coming out, like an unknown biological cemetery, shocking. Not to mention, there is another An indescribably strange feeling.

After walking among the piled bones for about an hour, there was a sound of gurgling water ahead.

This seemingly dry river beach originally had trickles, but listening to the sound of flowing water in front, it was obviously a river with plenty of water.

Sure enough, when everyone walked around a pile of bones like a mountain bag, a huge cave came into view, and the rushing river rushed out of the cave.

The river is turbulent, forming a U-shaped roundabout, galloping away towards the distance.

The river did not block the way of everyone. On both sides of the river, there was a forest with colorful halos. Everyone only needed to walk along the river to enter the forest.

Ning Xiaofan turned on the tablet and took a look, then pointed to the right side of the river and said, "Go over there."

Entering the woods along the right side of the river, at first, everyone didn't think there was anything weird about this woods, except that they could shine.However, as everyone went deeper, when several towering giant trees came into view, everyone was already surprised.

The entire body of these towering giant trees exudes a red halo. The trunks are so thick that about three people can hug them together.Of course, this is just a description. In this underground space, there is no sun at all, and it cannot cover the sky or the sun.

"Sequoia tree?" Professor Zhao couldn't help being surprised.

After hearing this, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Professor Zhao, do you recognize this tree?"
