Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Relict Species
Obviously, what Xiaoliang and the other four experienced during the two days of being out of contact was more exciting than Yang Lin had imagined.
First, they were hit by a blizzard that caused rapid hypothermia, and then they encountered a bear-man that looked like a wild man.
Even more exciting was that they also encountered a mysterious creature that looked like the legendary donkey-headed wolf.
"I was really scared at the time. I originally thought that the donkey-headed wolf was an artificially made-up animal, but I didn't expect it to be real."
In the hot spring water, the five people, including Yang Lin, were soaking in it.
And Xiaoliang told Yang Lin about his experience bit by bit.
"Did you take pictures at the time?" Yang Lin suddenly asked.
"People are almost dead, how can I still have the mood to take pictures." Teacher Xiaoliang shook his head.
"Director Yang, don't you believe me? It's really a donkey-headed wolf, with claws like hooves, and it's almost as big as a horse. It weighs at least 200 pounds."
As he said that, Teacher Xiaoliang seemed to have made a difficult decision, and turned around with a gritted teeth.
The next second, a huge scabby bite wound appeared on his butt.
Looking at this huge wound, Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly persuaded:
"I believe it, I believe it, I won't look at it anymore, it's too spicy for the eyes."
As soon as the voice fell, the other three people also showed their wounds to Yang Lin.
Some were on the thigh, some were on the lower back, and one was bitten on the ankle.
Each one was extremely terrifying and hideous, and the wound was also very huge.
This was in the winter when he was wearing thick clothes. If it was summer, I'm afraid that the place where he was bitten would have lost a piece of meat directly.
It is definitely impossible for ordinary wolves to bite like this.
"The situation was too dangerous. If it weren't for Dabai, the white bear you just saw, the four of us would have been forced to defend our thesis."
At this point, Teacher Xiaoliang's face showed a trace of fear again.
"By the way, Teacher Xiaoliang, based on your understanding of plants and animals, what species do you think the donkey-headed wolf is?"
"Is it a mutant species or a relic species?" Yang Lin suddenly asked after thinking for a while.
After hearing his question, Teacher Xiaoliang seemed unsure for a moment.
"It shouldn't be a mutant species. Mutations usually only appear in individuals, and there are few examples of group mutations."
"I feel that the donkey-headed wolf is a bit like the Mesotherium from the Palaeocene to the Eocene."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin's eyes were full of surprise.
"Mesotherium, isn't that a primitive mammal from 40 to 50 million years ago? Can it survive until now?"
"How did they manage to maintain their appearance in these 40 to 50 million years?"
After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something else.
"But what you said is not completely impossible. After all, there are many relict species in nature now."
"The white dolphin and the Chinese sturgeon are like this. It seems not impossible that a group of Chinese beasts survived until now."
"Yes, I think so too. If this is really the case, then there may be more ancient creatures living in Shenlongjia." Teacher Xiaoliang nodded.
"For example, it?" Yang Lin suddenly pointed his finger at the white bear next to him.
After such a period of observation, he can basically confirm that the white bear in front of him is not a black bear after albinoization, nor is it any other species of bear.
It is an unprecedented new species, which can be seen from the string of question marks on the information given by the system.
"Dabai is indeed not any bear we are familiar with..."
Before Teacher Xiaoliang finished speaking, Yang Lin suddenly came up with a bold inference.
"Do you think it could be the common ancestor of the polar bear and panda in the legend?"
"According to the age, it should be a species from four or five million years ago."
As soon as this bold inference came out, the five people present all looked at the big guy beside them.
After taking a look, they found that the face of this big guy really looked a bit like a combination of a panda and a polar bear.
"Perhaps its ancestors accidentally discovered Shenlongjia during the migration process and then hid here."
"Just like other animals here."
As soon as the voice fell, a system prompt sounded in Yang Lin's mind.
"Ding! A new species was discovered. Please name it."
Hearing this system prompt sound, Yang Lin's eyes lit up immediately, and the system prompt sound undoubtedly recognized his statement.
Without thinking too much, the two words "white bear" appeared in his mind.
In the ancient Dragon Kingdom, "bear" originally meant human bear, and "white bear" was a white human bear, which was the most appropriate name for the big guy in front of him.
After naming the group, Yang Lin wanted to soak in the hot spring for a while longer, but after thinking about the purpose of this trip, he gave up this tempting idea.
Ten minutes later, the five people, including him, put on their clothes.
After reluctantly looking at this isolated paradise, they followed the corridor back to Shenlongjia.
At this moment, they tacitly chose to keep their experience in their hearts.
Although the paradise is good, it does not belong to humans, and should not be disturbed by humans.
If its existence is spread, it may be developed into a tourist attraction in less than a month.
It is too unfair for the animals that have lived there for generations.
"Let's go, go back. If we don't go back, there will be one more person on the missing list."
After taking a deep breath of the cold air mixed with wind and snow, Yang Lin raised his feet and was about to lead everyone to meet up with the rescue team.
It was just that the few people had just taken two steps, and bursts of strange screams that made people's scalps numb came from the mountains and forests not far away.
Yang Lin was fine, but Teacher Xiaoliang and others beside him were frightened and turned pale.
"It's the donkey-headed wolf pack."
Hearing this, Yang Lin not only did not feel scared, but also showed a hint of excitement.
However, this trace of excitement only lasted for a few seconds and disappeared, especially when he turned on the GPS positioning.
The red dots representing the other members of the rescue team now overlapped with the direction where the donkey-headed wolf's cry came from.
After realizing this, Yang Lin immediately had a bad premonition. Without time to think about it, he immediately took Teacher Xiao Liang and the other three people to the direction of the location.
Fortunately, the distance was not too far. In just over ten minutes, the stars of fire appeared in the forest shrouded in the night.
Under the illumination of these fires, six familiar figures were clearly visible.
They were Li Changhai and others who had been separated from Yang Lin for a long time.
And around the six people, more than a dozen sturdy black shadows were surrounding them, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely terrifying.
