When people were shopping, they suddenly encountered a reporter asking, "What is the longest-lived animal in the world?"
At this time, the first thing most people think of is a turtle.
The so-called turtle that is turtle that is 80,000 years old, often symbolizes longevity in China.
But in fact, the lifespan of a turtle is not as long as thousands of years.
The most reliable record at present is an Adabra elephant tortoise who lived 256 years old, named Adevita. He was born around 1750, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and did not die in the Kolkata Zoo in 2006.
On the ranking of long-lived animals, the lighthouse jellyfish that can repeat continuously between the polyp period and the maturity period. As long as there is no external influence, the lighthouse jellyfish can achieve true immortality.
So besides the lighthouse jellyfish, are there any animals that live longer than turtles?
The answer is, there is.
But when people hear animals that live longer than turtles are snakes, almost everyone will think this is nonsense.
The lifespan of snakes is generally between 2 years and 20 years, and the larger the body, the longer they live.
Pythons can live to 30 to 40 years or even longer.
However, even if the python can live for decades, it is far inferior to the turtle that can move hundreds of years old.
Therefore, most people do not believe that snakes have longer lifespans than turtles, which is reasonable.
So, is there any snake species that has lived longer than a turtle in the world?
The Adabra turtle, who lived 256 years old, is an alien among the tortoises, a special case.
In fact, there are such special cases among snakes.
When Chen Xuan and Zhang Zhicheng went to Miaojiang to find Grandma Tao, they encountered a super giant python in the deep Leigong Mountain, in the valley where the ancient Wumen was located.
The giant python stands three stories high, and the length of the python is at least more than twenty meters.
At that time, Chen Xuan visually estimated that the giant python was at least over 100 years old and had already become spiritual.
A super giant python like this can't be driven even if Chen Xuan understands animal language.
But even if the giant python in Leigong Mountain really lives for more than 100 years, it is still not as good as the 256-year-old turtle Adevita.
Of course, that giant python is not in historical records.
The most popular snake with the longest life span is the green fuzz snake.
In 1978, the Eagle Kingdom's Challenger surveyed scientists and occasionally captured an extremely rare snake, namely the green stitch snake, during the sampling and inspection of the Mariana Trench in the South Pacific.
The snake has a total of 1,867 wheels from head to tail. Experts have identified that the wheels on the snake are like the annual rings of trees, representing age.
In other words, the green fuzz snake captured by the expedition team lived to be 1867 years old!
And 1867 is still in childhood!
According to scientists' estimates, the green fuzz snake is likely to live for more than 200,000 years.
This is a very amazing discovery.
However, over the past forty years after discovering the longest-lived snake, there are still many different opinions in the scientific community and no definite conclusions.
Many people even believe that the green fuzz snake is fictional.
Because the first-hand information was sent by the "Challenger", no one else saw the green fuzz snake with his own eyes, and there is no record of the green fuzz snake in the history of the world.
Chen Xuan once believed that the so-called green snail was fictional until he entered the White Snake Shrine and opened his perspective divine eyes.
In the gloomy main hall of the shrine, a pair of huge, blood-red vertical pupils slowly opened.
Seeing this made Chen Xuan unable to help but take a breath of air conditioning.
Too big!
In the depths of the main hall, less than twenty meters away from him and Tang Qiuling, there was a terrifying white snake that could not see clearly!
The white snake has dense rims on its body, at least 300 turns.
When he sensed someone coming in, the white snake's vertical pupils, which looked like blood lamps, appeared violent, cold and cold-blooded, and then he spit out the snake's letter.
Chen Xuan could not determine whether this white snake was the legendary green fuzz snake.
He only knew that this giant snake was definitely more dangerous than the giant python he encountered in Miaojiang last time!
Of course, he is now stronger than when he was in Miaojiang.
Just according to the rules of the game and cannot operate the fairy spirit, Chen Xuan was not sure to kill the white snake in a short time.
Tang Qiuling also discovered the existence of the white snake. She was glared by the pair of bloody vertical pupils. She felt that her whole body was cold and almost screamed.
She knew that there were many giant animals in this world that were beyond human imagination.
But this was the first time she had seen such a big white snake.
"Chen, Chen Xuan..." Tang Qiuling hadn't felt scared for a long time. Her first reaction was to grab Chen Xuan's arm.
"Don't be afraid, if the white snake attacks us, I will break the rules and use the fairy spirit."
Of course, Chen Xuan would not foolishly follow the rules of the game, otherwise his life would be lost here.
However, whenever a strange beast appears somewhere, the strange beast is likely to be guarding some kind of treasure.
In addition to the snake-eyed monster outside, this White Snake Shrine can be said to be one of the most important places in Mizuho City.
So Chen Xuan was almost 100% sure that there was one of the three ghost Buddhas hidden here.
It is even possible that there is something more important hidden.
It was just blocked by the white snake, and they could not bypass the main halls and explore other halls of the shrine, such as the Coin Hall, the Temple of Worship, the Temple of Kagura Hall, etc.
Fortunately, the white snake just stared at them quietly, as if as long as they did not cross the line, the white snake would not attack.
This made Chen Xuan feel a little relieved.
He scanned the situation of the main hall again and found a large area of space above the main hall.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately made a bold decision.
He planned to jump onto the beam of the main hall, open the window and jump to the eaves outside, and head over the hall, so that he could bypass the white snake.
This method is risky, but it is completely feasible.
"Qiu Ling, dance with me!" Before Chen Xuan finished speaking, his right hand had already pulled Tang Qiuling and jumped up with her!
"hiss!"
As soon as Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling moved, the white snake's vertical pupils were filled with anger!
The moment the two jumped onto the crossbar, the huge snake head of the white snake bit the crossbar at a very fast speed!
Chen Xuan had long expected that the white snake would launch a sudden attack, but no matter how fast the white snake was, it was still too big, not as sensitive as Chen Xuan.
With a pointer on the crossbar, Chen Xuan took Tang Qiuling to avoid the attack of the white snake.
The next moment, the two of them had already arrived at the window, opened the window, and jumped out.
Immediately afterwards, the huge snake head instantly smashed the window into pieces!
Seeing the snake head that was so close to you, Tang Qiuling shuddered.
"Go quickly, it won't catch up with us!" Chen Xuan found that the speed of the white snake was not that terrifying, but the huge body size brought a strong sense of oppression to people.
After jumping onto the roof, Chen Xuan and Tang Qiuling quickly crossed the main hall and jumped to the coin hall behind.
The building of the main hall in Japan is very small and the building height is very low, so the snake's head can instantly rush out of the window.
But the white snake wanted to leave the main hall to pursue Chen Xuan, and then sensed that two people came in from the main hall, and it had to stretch the snake's head back.
