Chapter 2515: A family of three
The sky was completely dark, and the night enveloped the entire volcanic basin, or more importantly, the Golden City of the Mayan Empire.
In the sky above the basin, stars are shining everywhere, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky.
The cold moonlight pours down from the night sky and spreads evenly in this dense and primitive tropical rainforest. A breeze blows gently, and the shadows of trees sway wherever you go, making them look beautiful.
In the depths of the rainforest covered by night, the chirping of birds kept coming, mixed with the sounds of frogs, cicadas, and other nocturnal animals nearby, playing a beautiful serenade together!
The platform located on the hillside on the east side of the basin and the secret passage connected to the platform are brightly lit at this time and are filled with laughter and joy everywhere.
Not only that, the tempting aroma of barbecue continued to be heard from this platform, which drifted down the wind and penetrated into the tropical rainforest below.
Tempted by the aroma of barbecue, many nocturnal animals nearby couldn't help but gather here, hiding in the dark, looking at the brightly lit platform above curiously, full of desire.
The three-party joint exploration team is holding a barbecue party on the platform to celebrate the great archaeological discovery that caused a sensation in the world, celebrate the reappearance of the legendary Mayan Empire Golden City, and celebrate this extremely beautiful night!
Everyone at the party was extremely excited at this time, and everyone had an extremely bright smile on their faces. While enjoying the food, everyone was imagining the next exploration process.
The only regret is that no one can drink alcohol tonight, even beer.
Another point is that we must pay strict attention to the safety of using fire, so as not to be extremely happy and to burn this volcanic basin.
Of course, this is an extremely humid tropical rainforest, which is a huge reservoir itself. Even if you are on fire, it is difficult to ignite this tropical rainforest even in the dry season.
Others celebrated on the platform and enjoyed the food, but Ye Tian sat on a golden pillar in the temple of the Mayan Gods, the King of the Mayan Gods, below.
On the ground in front of him, there were a big, two little, three jaguars lying.
The big one is an adult female jaguar, about one meter three in length, weighing about 120 kilograms, about sixty centimeters in height, a thick body, full muscles, and a black and gold leopard print with smooth and smooth water, which is very beautiful.
The two little jaguars, one male and one female, look only about half a year old, are cute and unattackable.
At this time, the three of the family looked up at Ye Tian, their eyes were eager and they were a little intimate.
To be more precise, they looked at the plate in his hand, looking forward to the fragrant food and the roasted, oily and fine beef.
Especially the two little guys were even more excited and wanted to run to Ye Tian, play with him, and ask for delicious food.
However, the female jaguar was always alert and growled from time to time to warn her two children not to get too close to the strange guy in front of her.
Even though this guy is very friendly, he not only provides delicious food to his family of three, but occasionally releases a refreshing spiritual power that instills into his family of three.
Perhaps this is the origin of the tigress. When pregnant and nurturing offspring, they are often the most alert and fierce.
Ye Tian looked at the family of three in front of him, then turned the plate in his hand and said with a smile:
"Look, the beef has been eaten and the plate is empty. If you want to eat it again, you can only wait patiently."
While talking, Mattis walked down the platform along the stairs, holding a large plate of freshly baked high-quality beef, which was full of fragrance and steaming.
Seeing this scene, the two little jaguars immediately stood up and were about to pounce on them to grab food. They were obviously impatient.
The female jaguar let out a low roar, warning Matisse not to get close, and warned his two children not to move rashly, so as not to risk danger.
Ye Tian stood up and took two steps back, took the plate of beef from Matisse, and then walked back to the family of three.
Then he picked up a piece of roasted beef from the plate and threw it directly to one of the little jaguars.
At this time, the little guy didn't care about his mother's warning, and immediately jumped up, bit the delicious food flying in the air in one bite, and was no longer willing to let go of his mouth, so he quickly ran aside and feasted.
Not only that, the little guy also pressed the piece of roast beef firmly with his front paws. While tearing it into food with a big mouth, he kept making waves of roars of food, fearing that the food in his mouth would be snatched away.
Another little jaguar that also jumped up in the air rushed into the air and only took a bite of the air.
As soon as it landed, the little guy became anxious and was about to rush over to grab food from his brother's mouth.
At this moment, two more delicious roast beef flew in the air and flew towards the little guy and its mother respectively.
The next moment, the two big and small jaguars jumped up at the same time, bit the roast beef that flew towards each other in the air, then landed silently, and quickly ran aside to enjoy the food.
Looking at this scene, Ye Tian and Matisse, who were standing on the steps behind, both laughed.
Next, Ye Tian put the plate in his hand on the ground, then took two steps back, stood with Mattis, and watched the Jaguar family of three enjoy the food with great interest.
After watching this for a moment, Mattis suddenly asked in a low voice:
"Steven, do you find it a little strange? The area of this volcanic basin is not large. According to common sense, the territory and range of activities of a jaguar should be much larger than that of this basin.
There is another female jaguar in front of me, and there are two small jaguars. If the female jaguar cannot leave this basin, it means that there must be another male jaguar here.
The passage connecting the outside world of this basin is currently only the secret passage on the platform, and the secret passage has been closed for thousands of years. We have all used drones to detect the peaks around the basin.
On those peaks, we did not find the road leading to the outside world. It was surrounded by cliffs. The tropical rainforests outside the basin were full of poisonous plants and were filled with poisonous fog.
This situation is almost exactly the same as what we encountered before. Obviously, this was deliberately done by the ancient Mayans, whose purpose was to protect this basin and the Golden City of the Mayan Empire.
In other words, there is no road to the outside world around this basin, and there is a dead end in any direction. So the question is? Where did these jaguars come from? Did they fall from the sky?
Even if the territory of these jaguars is limited to this basin, how did they reproduce and grow for more than a thousand years? Inbreeding is impossible in jaguars.”
Ye Tian turned his head to look at Matisse, then looked back at the three jaguars who were enjoying delicious food, and then said with a smile:
"Why do these jaguars appear in this volcanic basin that is basically isolated from the outside world and is relatively small in size? They reproduce here? There is a natural reason.
According to my speculation, there must be roads or caves connected to the outside world in this basin, which are just unknown. Even the ancient Mayans did not know the existence of this passage.
Of course, there is also a possibility that after the ancient Mayans completely blocked the basin and died here, the terrain here changed over the long thousand years.
It is through that unknown secret passage or cave that these jaguars were able to enter and exit the volcanic basin. Our first priority now is to find this very secret passage.
Tonight I am going to take this big, two little, three jaguars to find this secret passage. If we can find this passage smoothly, it will definitely be of great help to our next action!"
Hearing this, Mattis nodded immediately, his eyes full of excitement.
Chapter completed!
