Zhang Ling and I ran over and saw Big Eyes lying on the ground, carefully crawling out of the spiked forest. When he crawled out completely, we found that he had a piece of stainless steel tied with a small bead chain in his hand. The nameplate is written in English.
Zhang Ling said that this is a nameplate used to indicate the identity of foreign soldiers, with the name, code and time engraved on it. The soldier's name is Bell, who was born in 1976.
But whether this sign belongs to the corpse or was left here, we are not sure for the time being.
Continuing to search, except for the nameplate, there was no new discovery.
So we had to give up and continue to find a way back to the camp.
It took about two hours before we returned to the camp. I washed away all the filth, and then everyone talked about the gorilla-like creature while eating.
That thing is obviously a primate, in the words of big eyes, the ancestor of orangutans and monkeys. Primates have obvious advantages in trees, so camping on trees is not as safe as camping on the ground, and people must stay vigil at night. In addition, the layout and structure of the barracks need to be adjusted, adding some simple trap pits around. , I only hope that the giant creature is not a nocturnal animal.
The brave skydiver also brought us all kinds of suspicions.
Since there is more than one parachutist, what about the others? Did they all fall into the water, or did they survive in this isolated place
If they survived, where are they now? Are you looking for the Shambala cave while finding your way, just like us
But one thing is certain, if they survive, they must bring a lot of advanced equipment, and those things are what we need!
After a safe night, the next day, in order to avoid encountering that kind of primate, we did not enter the forest, but proceeded along the edge of the cliff. The insects we encountered along the way showed a rapid shrinking trend.
Zhang Ling explained that this is a process of biological evolution. Insects with exoskeletons will inevitably stagnate after they increase to a certain size, while new endoskeletal organisms can be even larger.
According to the theory of evolution, insects at this time have changed from predators to prey,
Smaller ones have smaller goals and have more chances of survival. In short, all evolution is for survival.
Walking along the edge of the cliff, at first, except for insects that were shrinking in size, almost no large creatures appeared. On the one hand, the edge area is easy to collapse, and the rock layer on the edge of the cliff is very thin, obviously unable to bear the weight of the large creatures. On the other hand, there are few trees here.
After walking for four days, we found that the bushes began to become smaller and smaller.
When we were resting that day, we came across a group of strange creatures. They had long necks, fat bodies, and thick, strong, thin legs. They looked like geese standing tall alone.
The group of creatures gathered in a group, blocking the road in front of us without fear at all, pecking at the cracks in the rock with ease, or sharpening their mouths on the rock.
"The ostrich! The ancestor of the ostrich" Big Eye cried out at the first glance.
That kind of animal is indeed very similar to an ostrich, but with thick feathers on its neck.
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, and said, "No, definitely not! I remember that there was an ancient creature that looked like an ostrich, what was its name... It looked like a bird dragon, yes! It was like a bird dragon!"
"They don't eat people?" I asked.
"It doesn't eat, it eats insects, just like poultry."
At this moment, a bird-like dragon came over, tilting his neck and looking at our group of strangers. When he walked in front of me, his eyes suddenly brightened and stared completely round, and then he made a very weird behavior.
I saw it spread its wings as hard as possible. The two small wings that could not fly were like two fans, and the tail feathers were spread out as much as possible. Then, the slender legs crossed and moved horizontally, as if they were dancing ballet, three steps left and three right step.
When moving to the left, retract the left wing and spread the right wing, and when moving to the right, the reverse is true. So repeatedly, dancing happily and lightly in front of me.
Peacock's screen? Is it the ancestor of the peacock
I was dumbfounded, and asked puzzledly: "It...what is this doing?"
Zhang Ling said: "It seems to be the dance of courtship..."
"Ah!" I was suddenly blinded.
Big eyes laughed haha, and said, "Anzi, you are really handsome! Even the bird dragon can see you! I think you can stay and be a birdman!"
I was choked to speak.
Soon, the other bird-like dragons stopped grinding their beaks, and turned their attention to me and the dancing bird-like dragon.
Big Eyes immediately stopped the laughter, squeezed the machete in his hand, and asked nervously, "What's the situation? Which one is this?"
Zhang Ling said puzzledly: "The whole group is watching. Could it be that... this bird-like dragon is the female leader of the whole group?"
Big Eyes heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "The magic of love is so great, not only can it cross borders and ages, but species has also been crossed!"
I hurriedly backed away, and the bird-like dragon immediately followed my steps, which meant a lot of stalking. I nervously said, "Zhang Ling, how can I get rid of it? Don't let it follow me."
Zhang Ling smiled, his eyes lit up suddenly, and said, "Do you want to find a transportation tool?"
Big Eye responded the fastest, and asked: "You mean... can these bird-like dragons ride?"
Zhang Ling said: "You can try it. I just remembered that some tribes in Africa would use ostriches as modern walking tools, just like us riding horses. These orchid dragons are so similar to ostriches, and their legs are thicker than ostriches. You can ride it. But you have to be tamed first."
Big-eyed, full of confidence, said: "No problem! As long as Anzi and its suitors have a good relationship, we can ride them."
"I found out that you two always play with me lately. First you made me pretend to be an orangutan, and now you let me..."
What do you want me to do? Fall in love with the bird and dragon and then seduce it? Isn't this nonsense
So, we finally failed to ride the bird dragon, but this incident in the next few days, let the big eye come out from time to time to make fun of me.
In the next few days, we stumbled forward in a wild and invisible forest, picking up small interesting things all the way, letting go of fear and fatigue, and forgetting the pain and sadness for a while.
In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed. We hadn't found the water source for three days, and the spare water was almost used up. In order to find the source of water, we had to leave the edge of the cliff and walk deep into the forest.
After walking for a long time, I finally found a clear pond.
Here is a low-lying land, with countless hidden streams with invisible water flowing in. Looking around, it is about four or five square kilometers.
