Chapter 187 Surprising Discovery
There was commotion here, when Lin Chuyin suddenly shone a light on the other side of the creek, looked carefully for a while, then squatted down and touched it carefully twice, and then said lightly: "Well, there is a small hole in front, But I can't get in."
"Where is it?" Hong Dali approached Lin Chuyin, and followed the waiting light: "Really, that small hole...isn't it too small? Only snakes can crawl in, right?"
No wonder Hong Dali was so surprised. The small hole was about the size of a human head. In fact, it was nothing. The problem was that there was a gust of wind blowing from the hole from time to time. It was obvious that the inside was a passage for ventilation. As for what was there specifically? , it's hard to say. As Hong Dali said, he inhaled lightly in all directions. He only felt that the air here was fresher. It even faintly felt like being in the forest after the rain.
Lin Chuyin touched left and right again, and suddenly said: "Snakes often pass by here, let's see what's inside."
As she spoke, she took out the laptop and the flight video device from her bag, and after starting it, there was a slight buzzing sound, and Lin Chuyin controlled the flight device and flew towards the entrance of the cave.
The flying device flew inward, and the screen shot by the flying device came from Lin Chuyin's laptop.
The surroundings of the screen are pitch black, with no light at all. The light of the lighting device in the middle can shine about three meters in front of the distance, and if you go inside, you can't see it anyway.
Everyone held their breath and watched the picture on the monitor quietly.
At the beginning, there was only a very small passage around, and the opening of the passage was about the size of a human head, and the more you went inside, the wider it became. But after ten meters. The space suddenly widened, and it was enough for an adult man to walk upright at this time. Go further in, after turning a corner. Everyone was stunned.
Waiting for the light to illuminate a small half of the space, but even though Hong Dali and the others were already mentally prepared. Still shocked by the current situation.
In the slightly shaky light, Hong Dali saw that the flying device was in a huge space. The square in front of the Hongwu Villa of his family is already considered quite a spacious place, with a length of 200 meters and a width of 100 meters, but this huge underground cave, judging from the reflection of the current dim lights, is actually no bigger than the one in front of his house. How much worse is the square, even bigger!
Lin Chuyin controlled the flying device and slowly flew up. After taking a look around, the environment of this cave is divided into two parts. On the left is a large piece of land with an extremely large area, while on the right is an abyss of pools with no discernible depth. The light in the farther place is dim, and it is not clear, but there seems to be a huge hole.
After looking around,
Only then did Lin Chuyin point the camera of the flying device at the center of the cave.
At first, a round object about three or four meters in diameter could be vaguely seen on the ground. The top is big, and the bottom is small. Everyone is very puzzled. At present, they really can't think of anything with such a shape, and this thing doesn't seem to be artificially made. It's more like standing there by yourself.
To be specific, this thing is like a huge bowl, placed there.
The flying device moved forward slowly, and when it got close, everyone exclaimed!
Tang Muxin said: "What a big turtle!" Ling Yi said: "Damn it!" Du Xinzhen: "God, this must be from the ancestors, right?" Hong Dali said: "What a big bastard!"
It was an unimaginably huge tortoise.
A real giant tortoise.
A huge carapace is at least three meters long, comparable to the length of a medium-sized car, and what is strange is the appearance of this oversized tortoise. At first glance, the head looks like a crocodile, and neither the head nor the feet can be retracted into the turtle shell; the upper jaw at the front of the mouth is like an olecranon, and when viewed from below, there are three longitudinal dorsal ribs on the carapace, with many tooth-like protrusions on the edge, like a saw It seems that each scute of the carapace has a protrusion; the closed eyes grow on the side of the mouth, and there are many skin protrusions on the side of the head, on the chin and neck, much like the bumps on the body of a toad, and somewhat like scales ; head, neck, plastron, and countless arm-length tentacles.
"Well, it turned out to be this." Lin Chuyin controlled the flying device to take photos back and forth, and then said slowly, "It's a snapping turtle. Well, it looks quite old."
"Big snapping turtle?" Seeing that Lin Chuyin knew this thing, Hong Dali hurriedly asked, "Hatsune, what kind of species is this big snapping turtle?"
Lin Chuyin deserves to be a tech geek with an IQ of 180. She seems to have come into contact with this thing before, and she remembers it clearly: "Snap snapping turtles, also known as crocodile biting turtles and snapping turtles, belong to freshwater turtles. They are very sensitive to the living environment. The requirements are not high, the water temperature is below 10 degrees for deep hibernation, below 15 degrees for hibernation, 15-17 degrees for a small amount of activity, above 18 degrees for normal eating, 20-33 degrees is the best activity and eating temperature, 34 degrees for a small amount of activity, volts Take refuge in the bottom of the water and in the sand."
"The snapping turtle has a huge body. The adult turtle can reach a length of 75 centimeters and weigh 100 kilograms. The carapace of the snapping turtle is 60-80 centimeters long, and it can camouflage itself well in the water. The tongue looks like a worm and is usually stationary. Open your mouth and wiggle your tongue in the water, just waiting for the greedy fish to fall for it."
"It's just that this kind of snapping turtle should be native to the southeastern United States. It's hard to say how it got here and grew so big."
It turned out to be this thing. Hong Dali gave a quite reasonable explanation for how it grew to such a large size: "The thousand-year-old tortoise, this old guy looks like he must have lived for at least a thousand years. It's not surprising that he grows so big." .What I wonder is, how did it get itself like this?"
No wonder Hong Dali felt strange.
Such a big guy who is so huge that it breaks the limit of human imagination is actually lying on all fours in the middle of the underground cave, and it is not known whether it is dead or alive. How about standing there like a bowl, students who raise turtles at home can try it...
Therefore, the magic of this super huge snapping turtle is here.
Just lying there like that, there is actually a height of nearly two meters. Judging by the size, it must be tens of thousands of kilograms. I don't know what happened to turn such a big body over.
Everyone was watching, suddenly the super big snapping turtle seemed to sense something buzzing around it, and suddenly opened a pair of huge football-like eyes, which shocked everyone.
Although they were far enough away, Tang Muxin hid behind Hong Dali with a frightened "ahhh". As for the others, those who were a little less courageous simply sat down on the ground, trembling all over.
"Roar--!!!"
The camera of the flying device and the eyes of the snapping turtle looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly, the huge mouth of the snapping turtle opened, letting out a rumbling roar, and the whole cave seemed to tremble, shaking. Some people's eardrums are numb.
The howling sound was long, but it was filled with a trace of strong unwillingness.
Hearing the whistling sound coming from the laptop, Tang Muxin, who was terrified before, desperately shook Hong Dali's arm, and begged pitifully: "Dali, you don't know how many years it has been here, it's so pitiful. Let's save it, shall we?"
In fact, Tang Muxin didn't need to say, Hong Dali also planned to rescue this super rare giant snapping turtle.
After all, such a strange beast between heaven and earth is definitely the first time Hong Dali has seen in his life. What is especially rare is that it has a super big tortoise head (this word Hong Dali likes it very much) with faint scales on it. Almost all of them are about to become fine. It is an absolute fetish. If ancient people saw it, they would probably regard it as Xuanwu, one of the four sacred beasts.
However, although Hong Dali also felt very worried, he thought about it, and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, such a big guy looks like it's worth thousands of catties, let's not talk about whether we can save him or not." Success, that is, it is really saved, but don't let us be eaten by it, or be taken to the laboratory to slice and study, then we will be sinners through the ages."
He was not exaggerating. Although the chance of the snapping turtle eating him is not great, but other situations may happen.
If such a large tortoise is taken to the laboratory for sectioning or exhibited in the zoo by the state because of them... then it is absolutely true that it is a sinner through the ages—this big tortoise is really ages through the ages !
After hearing Hong Dali's words, Tang Muxin could only nod her head.
After all, she is a very smart little girl, why doesn't she understand what Hong Dali means? Just by looking at its appearance, this giant snapping turtle knows that it is definitely not a creature to be messed with. What if it turns over and cannot be controlled? What if it bites whoever it sees then?
For a moment, Tang Muxin was helpless, struggling whether to save or not. At the end, Tang Muxin could only look at the laptop screen and whispered: "Big tortoise, if we save you, you won't make trouble everywhere, right? You won't eat us, right?"
She said here, but the flying device really let her words out.
It was strange to say that the giant tortoise actually spoke again after hearing Tang Muxin's words, and let out a joyous cry.
"Haha!" Tang Muxin was very happy at this moment, and cheered: "Dali, it can understand what I say! I just said, such a cute big guy must not be some kind of monster, hehe."
It seems that this thing is really alive! Although it may not be able to understand what Tang Muxin said, but if it wants to understand Tang Muxin's meaning, it is still no problem!
This giant snapping turtle has lived in this world for thousands of years, and it is probably the first time someone said it is cute. Suddenly, it became angry, stretched its limbs, and waved randomly in the air. It seemed that it was still very angry. (m)
