A large number of bones were discovered, and the atmosphere in the team became a little tense. Facing so many bones, everyone felt a little uneasy. Although Chen Ziyun explained that these bones have existed for thousands of years, and the humans who participated in the war were
, have all been washed away by the torrent of time, leaving only a pile of bones.
But soon, Chen Ziyun's mood, like everyone else's, began to become a little more solemn. Because along the way, he found not only human skeletons, but also more skeletons of other animals.
Seeing these skeletons, Tian Peng and Liu Canghai were inexplicably excited. Among them, one had excellent research on biology, while the other was a master in geology and had seen too many bones excavated from the strata.
of animal fossils.
Among the animal bones scattered from the Jade Valley, both of them were able to find creatures they were familiar with. These creatures have all been listed as extinct species in the world today.
For example, the remaining skulls and tusks of ancient giant mammoths reveal a desolate atmosphere among the jade piles. Some body bones have been reduced to ashes, but a jawbone of an animal covered with fine teeth is left behind.
Peng judged from it that this should be a carnivore from the era when dinosaurs were rampant, maybe it was the notorious velociraptor in various science fiction movies.
Chen Ziyun could clearly tell that the appearance of these animal carcasses was not an accidental phenomenon. It could be seen from the surroundings that these animals were once tamed and thrown into the battlefield. But from the side, a problem also emerged.
Whether it is mammoths or dinosaurs, in the history of history, it is impossible for animals to appear at the same time as humans. But it happened that such a combination appeared in this Jade Valley.
Chen Ziyun can still accept the emergence of mammoths. After all, the extinction of mammoths was only a small ice age tens of thousands of years ago. Fortunately, some of them survived in the plateau areas and were tamed by humans. Although this reason is far-fetched, it is still reasonable. But dinosaurs
?What a joke! What does it mean if a species that became extinct tens of millions of years ago appears here?
Chen Ziyun walked in the center of the team with a strange look on his face. Wang Xiaowu took out a notebook to describe what he saw and heard here, and also took out a camera to take pictures of the evidence. In her spare time, she actually grabbed a handful of fine
Fangs, put it in your pocket, and said to make a necklace for Wukong when you have time.
No one had time to comment on Wang Xiaowu's idea. However, Wukong was very satisfied with Wang Xiaowu's statement and grinned honestly at Wang Xiaowu. Not only women love jewelry, but the female snowman is no exception. After laughing, Wukong called Wang Xiaowu again.
Climbing up to its shoulders, it seemed as if all the strength in my body was exhausted.
Seeing Wang Xiaowu sitting on Wukong's shoulders and swinging his legs easily, everyone looked at Wang Xiaowu with envy. Only Ye Ya looked at Wang Xiaowu thoughtfully, and after a while, a faint smile appeared on his face. Wang Xiaowu
She seemed to notice that someone behind her was staring at her, so she glanced back uncomfortably, and suddenly met Ye Ya's eyes. Ye Ya gave her a light discharge, and then whistled in his mouth.
"Uh..." Wang Xiaowu was so frightened that he quickly turned around, not daring to look at Ye Ya again.
"Haha..." Ye Ya laughed wildly.
"Meow meow..." The yellow cat echoed its owner, laughing in a voice as creepy as a child's cry at night.
Everyone's face was filled with black lines, and they pretended not to have seen Ye Ya's actions. Everyone knew that Ye Ya seemed to be only interested in women. And the somewhat cute Wang Xiaowu had been targeted by Ye Ya.
"Boss! Boss!" Wang Xiaowu suddenly shouted: "Boss, look ahead!" Wang Xiaowu sat on Wukong's shoulders, with a wider field of view. In order to show her disregard for Ye Ya, she looked around boredly with a telescope.
It didn't matter what she saw, she almost fell off Wukong's shoulders in excitement.
Hearing this, Chen Ziyun raised his head and looked into the distance. He only saw some gray-black shadows in the hazy place in the distance, which were not clear. He quickly picked up the telescope and took a look, and his breathing stopped suddenly!
"Humans!" A quick team member already picked up a telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Wang Xiaowu. He saw a large circle of "human beings" surrounding the mountain peak. These "human beings" were covered in dark green, but they could not stand tall.
Move like loyal guards.
"That's not a human!" Chen Ziyun only took one look and made his own judgment: "It's a figurine!" Indeed, judging from the shape, those are human figures, but these can never be living people, they can only be
The figurines are shaped like humans, just like the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. They are too tall, generally over four meters in height. Even the snowman Wukong is only half as tall as them!
But Chen Ziyun was deeply shocked. The number of those figurines was too huge! Chen Ziyun had already estimated that there were close to three hundred in the visible range, but those hidden behind and around these figurines were
there are more!
By rough estimation, there must be at least tens of thousands of figurines! They are densely packed, like a forest. The scene in front of you can no longer be described as spectacular.
Chen Ziyun felt that his mind was a little confused. At this time, he had no time to care about who the maker of these figurines was. He was only thinking about the significance of these figurines surrounding half of the mountain peak.
"Could it be that these are the figurines set up by the dragon guardians to protect the holy mountains, just like... just like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Emperor?" Chen Ziyun imagined feebly. Before he woke up from his imagination, he
I heard Liu Canghai groan: "Oh my god... they are all carved out of jade..."
As a geological expert, Liu Canghai's focus was naturally different from Chen Ziyun's. When his eyes swept over the figurines, he was attracted by the faintly shiny dark green layer on their bodies. Contact
Seeing that this is the most common material in the Jade Valley, Liu Canghai immediately revealed the material of these figurines.
What he lamented was not the wealth of the people who made these figurines back then, but he was shocked by the huge amount of work!
If it is just a figurine, then it is good to say that although it is not easy to make, at least the effort required to bake a pottery figurine is less than that of carving a jade figurine. Taking normal labor as an example, during the Qin Dynasty, firing
The process of making a pottery figurine takes about ten days, and these can be fired according to the process and can be produced wholesale. But for the jade figurines, Liu Canghai simply did not dare to imagine how much manpower and how many man-hours it would take to complete?
