Chapter 709 How did the dinosaurs disappear?
The pterodactyl was always alert to the surroundings, and although Shao Xuan, who had been feeding it for the past few days, was still more afraid.
After a few days, the pterosaur had roughly returned to its state before it was frozen, and its reaction and perception were much faster. As soon as there was a movement at the door of the secret room, it noticed that it was not only Shao Xuan, but also more strange auras, so it hid so quickly.
This way of hiding is not to learn from bats, but when it once lived in the mountains and forests, it would hide in the bushes when it encountered danger, behind the leaves or behind dense branches. After all, it is small in size, not as unscrupulous as those large pterodactyls that dominate the sky.
Yes, during this period, Shao Xuan discovered that this pterodactyl may belong to the small pterodactyl, and he probably couldn't see the large pterodactyls that could be compared with Zhazha.
When Shao Xuan raised the pterosaur hiding under the table, the others surrounded the table and took a closer look at the creature from ancient times.
"This is the... pterosaur you are talking about?" Zheng Luo looked at the pterosaur on the table for a few glances, "It looks really weird, not like a bird, nor a bat."
"It really comes from a long, long time ago?" Ao wanted to reach out to pull its wings, but it avoided it.
It can feel the power of the Fire Horn and the similarities between other Fire Horn people. Although they look different in shape, their breath has similarities.
similar?
This is its first idea.
Although he didn't understand why the guys in front of him looked so much different from his body and were so different, this did not prevent him from knowing how to do it. Shao Xuan has been training it these days and told it with his actual behavior that attacking people with similar fire aura will be punished, so it dared not attack, and could only avoid it, and his eyes were still vigilantly staring at the circle of people around him.
"It's hard to believe that it was frozen for so long and has not died. It's just such a small thing." Duokang raised his hand and gestured. This beast was not as big as the two nail-toothed beasts he gave Shao Xuan. It was really amazing vitality.
"Since you found one, A Xuan, what happened to the other beasts living in that era?" The retired old man Wu stroked his beard. "From the insects and beasts in the ice cubes and the revived pterosaur, the beasts in that era are likely to be very different from today."
"Yes, the beasts at that time were indeed different from those now, but I don't know why they disappeared. However, I have some ideas these days." Shao Xuan said.
The people in Yanjiao didn't ask how Shao Xuan knew about this because they didn't think it was important. Even if they asked, Shao Xuan said that it was told by his ancestors, they would definitely believe it. What they thought was important was just what Shao Xuan said, not what Shao Xuan knew from what he had.
When they heard Shao Xuan say this, the two retired witches became interested, and the others also looked at Shao Xuan and waited for Shao Xuan's next words. Shao Xuan said that the winged dragons and other violent beasts may live earlier than the ancestors of Yanjiao. That was unimaginable, and they could not imagine what the situation was in that era, and what status was the people of that era?
"You said, why did they disappear?"
"Maybe it's because of the fire." Shao Xuan said.
"Tinder?" Others were puzzled, what's the matter with Fire?
"I have discovered these days that this pterodactyl is very afraid of fire flames. On the contrary, although ordinary firewood burning flames will also avoid them, they do not have such a strong reaction." When trying that special slavery method, Shao Xuan discovered this phenomenon. He tried it several times in the next few days, and each time it was the same result.
"It's okay to be afraid of fire flames? For other violent beasts, but didn't you say that it can revive, because of the power of fire? And it also has the aura of fire horns in its body, so how can it be afraid?" Everyone doesn't understand this. People from different tribes will repel the fire of other tribes, but people or beasts with the same fire power in their bodies should not behave like this. For example, those printed in the tribe are not afraid of fire horns.
"For this, I think it should be that it knows that the fire flame I emit cannot hurt it, but it has a fear reaction, which seems to be an instinct. As long as the fire flame appears, it will desperately want to stay away and hide. I guess, before it is frozen, have it seen anything about the fire?" It is like a conditioned reflex, and when it feels the fire, it wants to avoid it.
"Wait!" The two witches took out their pens and animal skin scroll at the same time, quickly recorded it, and then said to Shao Xuan, "Continue."
Career reaction: Even if you retire, the two old men are still very interested in some things about history. Shao Xuan said that even if they are speculations, they will record them. So what if they cannot confirm it? Maybe the descendants of Yanjiao can find the answer?
After looking at the records of the two old men, Shao Xuan continued to talk.
"If, I mean, if this pterosaur had seen the fire before it was frozen, and the time was shortly separated from the ice before it was frozen, then its reaction would make sense. Its memory would be faded after too long, but if it had only seen the ice before it woke up, it would be more likely to have such a reaction. Generally speaking, the fire of the tribe would be placed in the fire pit. After all, in such a long time, there should not be any fusion of fire."
Everyone nodded together. Of course they understood what Shao Xuan said. Even on the other side of the sea, the time for the fusion of the fire should not be 100,000, million, or even longer ago. If it really existed at that time, it would only be the state of the primitive fire.
"Although I don't know what happened at that time, I guess it should be brought by the original fire, otherwise it would not be so scared. Its eyes were not unfamiliar with the fire flames, but as if it saw something familiar and terrifying."
Shao Xuan could not perceive the thoughts in the consciousness of this pterosaur like he perceived sapphire. That special method of slavery was only aimed at bones, not consciousness. Shao Xuan was really not sure what the pterosaur was thinking, so he could only judge and guess based on some details.
Everyone accepted Shao Xuan's statement. In their hearts, fire is the most powerful thing in this world. If there is anything that can make all the beasts that survived in that long time disappear, there is probably only fire. They don't accept other reasons. Is there anything more powerful than fire? They don't believe it.
"However, guess is speculation after all, and there are many things that make sense in it, but no one can know what happened at that time, besides it." Shao Xuan pointed to the stone table and stared at the pterodactyl around him vigilantly.
Because he had used a method of slavery, Shao Xuan was not sure to use the previous method of slavery to enslave it. The difference between these two methods of slavery was too big. If you were not careful, the pterosaur would explode directly. In that case, there would be no bone residue left. Besides, it was a long time ago after all, and there was no need to figure it out. They were not archaeological. If they had the energy, it would be better to dig a river channel by the Yan River to build a house.
The people in Yanjiao were just curious for a moment and had no intention of continuing to ask.
"You must take good care of it! If Ah Xuan can't take care of it, you can let us two old guys come. It has seen the Fire seed a long time ago. This is an ancient beast that survived earlier than the ancestors! This is alive!" Before leaving the secret room, the two witches who had already stepped down reluctantly turned back to the stone table. Among all the people here, except Shao Xuan, the only ones who were most interested in the pterodactyl were probably the two old men.
According to the two witches, Dayou means to use this pterodactyl as a tribal mascot. Shao Xuan didn't have that idea. This guy is not big but has a very cruel temperament. He is also a mascot? It's good enough not to hurt people randomly.
After everyone else left, Shao Xuan looked at the pterosaur who jumped off the stone table and glided to the ground to find food. According to his performance today, he should be able to take it out in a few days.
Five days later, Shao Xuan left the underground secret room with a cage made of new bronze.
The cage was covered with a layer of not thick cloth, and there were some holes on the cloth. People outside could not see clearly the situation in the cage from the small holes, but in the cage, there were eyes looking out curiously from the hole.
Shao Xuan did not open the cage in Yanhe Fort, but kept carrying the cage out of the trading area and walked to Yanjiao headquarters from the Yanhe Bridge.
The river was digging by the Yan River. The participants included people from Yanjiao, from Taihe, from the Yu tribe, from the Yu tribe, and from the surrounding tribes. They even saw a few travelers.
Digging river channels requires labor, and these laborers cannot be all from Yanjiao and Taihe. After all, there are still things in other places. Taihe is being newly built, and the staff can be distributed are limited, so we can only hire some people.
Some people around who are very strong and willing to work can also use their labor to exchange a lot of things from Yanjiao, and Yanjiao also has two meals a day.
There are other long-distance teams who want to join, but unfortunately they are one step late and have enough staff, and work is starting recently.
The stone bridge on the Yan River directly intercepts the water surface of the Yan River. If you want to connect the ship upstream and downstream, it will be quite troublesome. Therefore, after re-planning, a river channel will be dug, and the petrochemical area will be passed from the upstream to connect to the downstream. The project volume is quite large, but they are not in a hurry.
I have digged an artificial lake and Yanjiao still has some experience in this area, so I don’t find it troublesome.
When Shao Xuan passed by, he was digging hot there.
Shao Xuan handed them a ferocious beast brought over from the trading area as food for extra meals this morning. He asked about the progress of digging the river and whether there were any problems. After hearing the person in charge there, Shao Xuan did not stop too much, carried the cage and walked towards the Yanhe Bridge.
"What is the one carrying in the Great Elder's hand?" A flame-horned warrior looked at Shao Xuan's back as he left and asked his companion next to him.
"I don't know, but I can feel the breath of our flame horn fire seed inside. It's really strange. Could it be that the Great Elder has engraved another ferocious beast?"
"How big is the cage? The one inside is even smaller. Can it be a ferocious beast?"
"What else can it be if it is not a ferocious beast? Can the Great Elder just be just an ordinary beast?"
