Chapter 665 The Living Fossil of True Incense
"What is a dodo?" Elida asked in confusion.
This time, without waiting for Du Xin'er to explain, Gu Xiaole on the side said for her in a popular way:
"The dodo was also found in the world we used to live in. It is a common bird native to the Indian Ocean island country Mauritius. However, this thing became extinct due to human factors more than 200 years ago, and it is still native to Mauritius.
Where’s the national bird!”
Du Xin'er nodded approvingly and continued:
"Yeah! It's so weird that there's a living dodo here!"
Gu Xiaole glanced at her mouth and said disdainfully:
"What's this? We've even seen mosasaurs that were extinct tens of millions of years ago. What's so strange about a dodo from hundreds of years ago!"
But when it came to this, Gu Xiaole himself fell into deep thought and didn't speak for a long time. He always felt that it was not accidental that these animals that existed in different eras suddenly appeared here together...
"Could it be that this is man-made?"
Just when Gu Xiaole was puzzled, the giantess Linghua over there didn't care whether the dodo was a living fossil or not. She just used a knife to skin and pluck the dodo, took out its internal organs, and quickly cleaned it up.
Got it clean!
Without waiting for anyone to say anything, this girl from the giant tribe had already started to light a fire and roast the unfortunate dodo.
Soon a smell similar to that of roast chicken spread in the jungle, which directly pulled Gu Xiaole out of his thoughts.
"Wow! Didn't you see that this living fossil has been turned into a roast turkey by Linghua?"
As Gu Xiaole said this, he also gathered around with a smile and began to sprinkle seasonings on the roasted sizzling and oily chicken.
Although several people ate a little bit of dried meat when they just drank water, because there was so little food with them, everyone was almost not full.
Now, for such a big dodo, the amount of meat that can be eaten by removing the fur and internal organs is more than 30 kilograms, which is enough for several of them to eat for two days.
Soon everyone was holding a piece of roasted dodo and started to eat it. While eating, Gu Xiaole joked about Du Xin'er:
"How is it? How does this living fossil taste?"
Although Du Xin'er was just sorry that a precious living fossil was killed like this, but once the barbecue was placed in front of her eyes, she couldn't stand the law of true fragrance.
The little girl said with her mouth full of oil:
"Well, the fat in this dodo meat is much more than that of chicken, and it is not as fat as pork. The texture of the meat fiber is also much more delicate than that of turkey! It is definitely a good ingredient!"
The giantess Linghua saw that they were eating happily, and she also gestured happily.
Gu Xiaole translated and said:
"Sister Linghua said that this kind of big bird is also a very rare prey in their tribe! Basically, it is difficult to see it in the normal hunting areas around their tribe. Only by going deep into the forbidden area like us can we catch it!"
Elida asked after eating two pieces of dodo meat:
"Xiao Le A Zhu, what were you thinking about just now? Have you been thinking about it for so long?"
Gu Xiaole smiled and said:
"Do you think it's strange that so many animals or human races that no longer exist on earth can appear in the area we are in now?"
Du Xin'er pursed her lips:
"Of course it's strange! If you take anything from this to the outside world, it may be a shocking discovery that will revolutionize our entire scientific research community!"
In response, Gu Xiaole shook his head and said:
"No! I don't think you understand what I mean. I mean, how can these creatures that should not have appeared in the same era or even tens of millions of years suddenly appear in one place?"
His question also stopped Du Xin'er and Alida. The two girls looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Gu Xiaole continued without stopping:
"I have a bold guess. Is the emergence of these animals and even these primitive humans from very different ages controlled by human factors?"
His bold assumption made the two of them even more stunned. Du Xin'er was stunned at first and then said with a smile:
"Brother-in-law Xiaole, I know that your biological knowledge is quite profound, but the hypothesis you just put forward is a bit too outrageous!
Letting so many creatures from different eras come together, let alone the ancient civilization here, even our modern biotechnology can't do it!"
Elida asked puzzledly:
"Why can't it be done? Don't scientists often propose resurrecting extinct creatures through cloning? I remember there was a super-rich chaebol boss who wanted to resurrect dinosaurs!"
Du Xin'er smiled slightly and said:
"Sister Elida, don't listen to that boy's deception! The dinosaurs in our world became extinct 64 million years ago, and the DNA in the dinosaur fossils that can be found now has no activity! He wants to say yes
It’s not even possible to resurrect the mammoths that lived in the Antarctic tundra 10,000 years ago!”
Gu Xiaole did not argue with the eldest lady, but said pleasantly:
"What I just said is just a hypothesis based on the situation we are seeing now! As for the real situation, I am afraid that the answer will only be revealed when we actually enter the Devil's Land!"
As he spoke, Gu Xiaole took out the map again, pointed to a sign with a vortex in front and said:
"Look, there are whirlpools marked not far from here. It looks like there may be quicksand or swamps. Everyone must be careful!"
Du Xin'er tilted her head and looked at it for a long time and said:
"Quicksand usually only appears in desert areas. The possibility of jungle landforms like this appearing is very low, but swamps are very likely, so everyone must be prepared in advance!"
So everyone wrapped the uneaten dodo meat in leaves and carried it on their backs, and tied their waists with ropes woven from vines to connect the four of them to each other.
Alida and Du Xin'er were easy to talk to, but the giantess Linghua didn't understand the meaning of this at all, so she kept asking with sign language.
Gu Xiaole gestured with his hands and explained: If you suddenly fall into a swamp trap, this rope can help others slow down your fall and buy time for everyone to pull you up...
Several people were walking while talking, and suddenly Gu Xiaole, who was walking at the front, sniffed and said:
"Did you smell anything weird?"
"Weird smell?" The three girls behind looked at each other, all looking confused...
Gu Xiaole sighed and said:
"I hope it's my imagination. Suddenly I seemed to smell a very strong rancid smell coming from the front, and I also had a bad premonition!"
