In addition to Kleiman, the three professors who entered the cave later were paleontologist Fodd, Qu Lanzhi, who specialized in botany, and geologist Beech.

This is a low limestone cave. After initial discovery, it has expanded to about four meters wide and three meters high. About 50 million years ago, groundwater from the tropical world flowed through here and eroded into its current channel.

Two days ago, they found a large pile of shells and bone fossils here. The specific species may be more than those that everyone in their entire team can calculate or classify within a year. There are countless large, small, known, and unknown species fossils, such as mollusks, crustaceans, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even birds and early mammals. I still remember how shocked they looked when they saw such a pile of fossils in front of them two days ago.

Generally speaking, each type of fossil mound is distributed in different locations or rock formations, and there are rarely overlapping. However, not only does it overlap, but there are so many types of creatures overlapping together. It is simply incredible. It is hard to imagine what kind of changes happened in ancient times to bring these fossils from different eras together.

These fossils blocked the entire cave. If the detector hadn't found that there was a wider space behind the fossil, they would have almost missed it.

Stepping in the cave after the explosion, they carried flashlights and walked forward.

As expected, the space inside is wider, like a blank space inquiry, and the light of the flashlight cannot illuminate all the darkness. Although it is only five or six meters high, it extends to all directions. The slightly flowing fresh air indicates that the cave should belong to a larger underground passage system. There are many stalactites growing on the top and on the ground of the cave, and some are even connected up and down to form stone pillars.

Professor Beech carefully observed the surface of the stalactite with a flashlight and said: "It takes at least hundreds of thousands of years to form a stalactite. Based on the appearance, these stalactites have existed at least in the White Chronicle."

Their feet were stepping on the rugged ground and making crisp sounds. Fodd shone the light of the flashlight downwards and found that what they were on were naked fossils of bones.

"Come and have a look!"

Fold squatted on the ground and greeted his companions.

After some inspection, they identified that these fossil remains, including early shellfish such as Nautilus, as well as the bones of hard scaled fish and shield-skinned fish... to dinosaurs' vertebrae and bone plates, sabertooth beasts, pterodactyls, and even thunder beasts.

From the Ordovician to the Paleogene, there was about 400 million years of gap between the two. Why were these bones piled up in this cave?

If the initial discovery made them cheer, then this discovery would make them feel creepy.

This simply subverts their scientific understanding!

The empty caves have remained dry, dead silent, and have not been in contact with the creature for at least 30 to 40 million years. Their arrival is like unraveling the mystery of that crazy history.

Based on the current situation, they inevitably conjectured an absurd idea in their minds. In the period from 30 million years ago to at least 500 million years ago, the reproduction and prosperity of organisms had reached an amazing level until one day 30 million years ago, the terrifying ice and snow weather destroyed all the primitive life in the Wuji Ice Field. If there were no such accident, these creatures should have lived longer.

Before they could start discussing this, the cave stretched out and a human scream suddenly came from.

"It's Clayman's voice!"

The screams pulled everyone back from their chaotic thoughts and went forward to find out.

Looking for the sound, the five people met Clayman in a corner of the cave. Fodd asked loudly, "What did you find?" while speeding up and running towards the other side.

As soon as they bypassed a few stalactites, the five people instantly felt like they were struck by lightning and froze in place.

"This, this is..."

Ferde looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked.

"Prehistorical intelligent creatures, prehistorical intelligent creatures really exist! Hahaha!"

This place is full of strange barrel-shaped fossils, about two meters high, which belongs to a completely unknown species. From the middle of the barrel, the touch limbs full of strange folds extend horizontally, with a thin wing membrane, which looks like a pair of wings, but no matter how you look at it, you don’t have the ability to fly. From the top of the barrel, five raised tumor-like objects extend, and five round limbs filled with wrinkles grow from the tumor joints, spreading around, scattering in all directions, with amazing similarities with starfish.

Several such fossils surrounded by empty holes, coupled with their incomprehensible appearance, can easily remind people of the evil gods that humans once worshipped during their ignorance.

Kleiman was constantly stroking a barrel-shaped fossil with his hands. Ford wanted to step forward, but was tripped by something. When he looked down, he found that it was a long touch limb, spread on the ground. The touch limbs came from those bucket-shaped fossils!

"Is this a plant, or an animal?"

Qu Lanzhi couldn't help but stand on a barrel-shaped fossil and touched it with her hands.

It is incredible that despite the tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years, the surface of these fossils still retains amazing elasticity, and the appearance feels like hard leather, and the surface is full of weathered traces.

But from the outside, she could not determine whether these fossils originated from plants or animals.

The geologist Professor Beech also started to caress one of the fossils as if he was crazy. At this time, no one cared about Kleiman's crazy behavior, because everyone was almost the same.

The only one who still maintains rationality is Professor Fodd.

He woke up an assistant who also wanted to come forward to contact the fossils and ordered: "I always think this cave is a bit weird if I ask people outside to come in and transport these fossils first."

Seeing the assistant walking out of the cave reluctantly, Ford took a deep breath. Since he entered this mountain range, he has been filled with enthusiasm for science and has never felt cold. However, the scene where everyone in front of him was holding a fossil to observe made him feel a little chilled.

Soon a large group of assistants arrived and began to move fourteen large fossil samples to the base outside the cave.

What no one expected was that as soon as they left the cave, the originally gentle husky in the base suddenly turned violent, barking wildly while rushing towards the specimen. Because it was during the rest period, the assistant did not tie a rope to the husky. Dozens of dogs surrounded the cave, barking and making an attacking posture, trying to attack the fossils, and the scene was in chaos.

Everyone didn't understand why the well-trained husky went crazy at this time, but fortunately they would not attack the personnel in the base. The assistants did not take much effort to drive the dogs away and tied them up with ropes. Otherwise, they would probably tear the fossils that everyone had finally discovered into pieces.

Kleiman couldn't wait to quickly unravel a fossil. This was also the idea of ​​all the researchers present. They used a gasoline furnace in the base to heat one of the fossils, but the surface of these fossils looked rough. When they actually started to unravel with a scalpel, they found that the surface of the fossil seemed to secrete some kind of oil, which was tough and smooth, making it difficult for them to start. Although there were other methods to dissect one, if the cutting method was too fierce, it might disrupt the internal structure of the fossil, which was something they didn't want to see.

So the assistant could only continue to heat the specimen by the gasoline stove and turn his head to study other fossil samples.

Only Kleiman was still standing in front of the gasoline stove, staring at the specimen.

No one noticed that some strange purple patterns began to appear under his eyes, but because the color was light, it was covered by the dark circles caused by staying up late, so it was impossible to see at all. I am afraid that he could not find any changes in his body.

A little abruptly, Kleiman seemed to see the touches on the fossil trembled.

Looking around, he did not tell everyone about this phenomenon, but continued to look back at the fossil.

“…The ancients…our city…will eventually…recover…”

He murmured to himself.

Crazy appeared in my eyes.

...

...

"Can't wait any longer."

Just after taking a hot shower, Lanaya's face was rosy and she sat at the base door with Xia Ren, looking at the towering snow-capped mountains above her head and the huge vortex that kept spinning. Before she could say a few words, she heard Professor Qin's notice.

"The new base of the scientific research team has been built and new research progress has been made. I want to see who is with me?"

Professor Qin said, handing the message he had just received and printed out to everyone for circulation.

"Let's go with you!"

Wen Yan said, leader.

"I'll go, too."

“This is a rare opportunity.”

"I finally came here, of course I have to learn something."

Everyone agreed, and then unconsciously turned their attention to Xia Ren and his wife.

"Don't go, you two are tiring. This month's running around is enough. Have a good rest in the base." Professor Qin said in an unquestionable tone.

Xia Ren kept looking at the brief message in his hand, and raised his head after hearing this, saying, "I want to go with you."

His brows were frowning.

Others may not know, but Xia Ren has been exposed to pollution. Those strange-shaped fossil samples are definitely not that simple. Maybe they are the old dominators mentioned by the system.

"Then I'll go too!"

Lanaya didn't hesitate and chose to follow Xia Ren directly.

"You are a woman's house, why are you joining in the fun? And these two days are just a bad time. Just wait for me in the base. Don't worry, I just go and see, nothing will happen."

He comforted him for a few words and finally persuaded Lanaya to stop.

"Then you agreed, you must come back."

Lanaya held Xia Ren's hand, her face slightly worried.

“Yes.”

"Call my name, or my wife."

Lanaya bit her lip, and she noticed that during this month, Lin Xiao always called her "you" when communicating with her.

She didn't know if her husband was still worried about the divorce before, so she could only bury it in her heart and not take the initiative to mention it. But today she didn't know what was wrong, she just couldn't control her mouth, wanted to say it, and wanted to say a lot to him.

Looking at her nervous and hopeful gaze, Xia Ren hesitated for a moment and smiled:

"Yes, Lanaya."
