Hong Dali used lighting equipment and curiously panned into the giant old trees from a distance, approaching him slowly.
Soon, he's getting closer. When Hong Dali approached and used the lights to shine outside those strange old trees, the Bureau Chief was shocked. He stared at the computer screen and muttered to himself. "Yes Gods ... The giant figures here are .. they are actually ... wood fossils!"
Tang Muxin asked gently, "Wood fossil, what is it?"
Lin Chuyin explained. "Wood fossils are trees that have been buried underground for millions of years or earlier. Chemical substances around the trunk, such as silica, iron sulfide, calcium carbonate, etc., permeate the interior of the tree through groundwater, replacing the original composition of the wood. The shape of the tree remains, but fossilization occurs due to petrochemical effects. Due to its high silica content, fossil trees are known as petrified wood. Also called a jade tree. "
"really. Such a beautiful forest of jade trees!" The Bureau Chief exclaimed. "How much is this value. Oh my goodness …"
Hong Dali stood close and, under the light of the floodlights, the gigantic jade trees were glittering and translucent, brilliant and sparkling. They look beautiful even without polishing.
Hong Dali exclaimed. "Wahaha! A huge jade forest. And they naturally form in the form of trees! How amazing!"
"!" The Bureau Chief hit his chest and stomped his foot. "This is a fossil wood! Also known as the jade tree. They are so precious! Don't touch them. If you just broke a single leaf, it would be hundreds of thousands!"
“Try me.” Hong Dali approached to take a look and cut off some small leaves. She smiled . "Not bad, not bad. It's indeed beautiful. I'll bring some for Dad to use as an ashtray." The crushed leaves are small tray-shaped, very suitable as an ashtray.
Damnit damnit! The Bureau Chief raged. ", do you know how much the leaf price you just stopped !? Don't touch them! Just a little bit of care and they could be worth billions! That's not a small amount!"
Tang Muxin stared with her eyes wide open. "Uncle Chief, Dali just discovered an entire forest of wood fossil treasure? Wouldn't he be rewarded with a large sum of money, then?"
“This is more than just a large sum of money,” The Bureau Chief sighed and slowly pointed to the computer screen. "Look, this jade tree is delicate, delicate, and rich in color. Just like a jewel tree. The jade tree mainly consists of opal, agate, and chalcedony. These three substances consist of different ratios of silica and contain a certain amount of water. To be precise, this is a + fossil gem + rare stone! " Speaking up to this point, the Bureau Chief asked, "Have you heard of stone gambling?"
Tang Muxin nodded. "Yes, I went with Dali once. This is better than gambling stones?"
"That's nothing compared to this," the Bureau Chief smiled. "Only one of these jade trees, with just a few treatments, can cost billions. Rock betting cannot compare to this at all."
“It looks normal to me.” Hong Dali looked at the ashtray in his hand, showing a lack of interest. "It did look good, of poor quality ..." The entire jade tree forest was not in his eyes. The jade trees were like treasures to the Bureau Chief. But for Hong Dali, the most they could do was to add strength and dexterity, with mediocre attributes …
They keep walking.
After passing through the jade tree forest, they continued walking again. The field began to decline by about fifteen degrees. The Bureau Chief had just recovered from his shock. He looked around where the floodlights shone and rubbed his chin. As he pondered, Lin Chuyin suddenly said, "Oh, it looks like a crater."
The crater?!
The Bureau Chief was shocked. Indeed, the surroundings looked increasingly like craters formed by meteorites. No wonder the jade trees from before were all tilted to one side like sunflowers. It's because of this crater! Plants look strange. Meteorite it …
When he wanted to call Hong Dali to ask him to watch his footsteps, Hong Dali suddenly shouted, "Damn!"
His screams surprised everyone. The Bureau Chief rushed over to him and called out. ", what happened? What did you find? Safety first! Safety first!"
"Ah, it's okay. I just found something really good. Ahhaha!" Hong Dali laughed. "It's a giant anteater, and it's alive! Hahaha, very cute. And very big too!"
Pangolin! It's alive! The giant!
The Bureau Chief jumped in shock. "please carefully. Don't get hurt by his claws. The scratches on the wall were probably done by him! , let me see how big this thing is!"
“Oke.” Hong Dali shone a floodlight and several black boards appeared on the screen. The Bureau Chief and the others were confused. "This ... What is this?"
"Can't you see it?" Hong Dali muttered. "Oh, maybe I'm too close. Let me walk further …"
It was a pangolin. It is long and cute with a conical head, small eyes, and scales arranged like tiles all over its back. With its long tail, it looks very cute. The problem is, even though it looks funny, it's too big. The pangolin lied in front of Hong Dali. Hong Dali was about 1.75 m tall, and his head almost reached the head of the pangolin.
Chief pangolin! Bald head!
Hong Dali held the lamp and walked around the pangolin. Everyone's jaws fell to the ground.
The Bureau Chief exclaimed. "So ... is very large ... Is it at least six or seven meters long ?! A very large pangolin ?!"
A six to seven meter long anteater, what concept was that?
In simple terms, it was about the length of the Soaring Angel that Hong Dali had always ridden .. But comparing this Soaring Angel and anteater, it was like comparing a small child and a black bear …
"How did this get so big ?!" The Bureau Chief was stunned. "Can it grow to this size ?!"
It was clear that this gigantic anteater was not a good thing that Hong Dali had found. What really makes him happy is the small plant that grows on the pangolin legs.
The plant looks no higher than 20 centimeters. Purple leaves with small white fruit grow on them. Each fruit is about the size of a fingernail. It doesn't matter what this is, the important thing is it looks delicious.
Hong Dali smirked. "Uncle Head, the pangolin says these nuts are good. Do you know what this is?"
"No.." The Bureau Chief shook his head and shouted, "Rascal, what matters is the giant anteater. Why are you so worried about that bean ?!"
“I'm hungry,” said Hong Dali innocently. "The pangolin says the beans are good. I'd like to try some …"
Hearing that, the Bureau Chief was worried. "Maybe poisonous?"
"It smells so good ..." Hong Dali squatted down and picked one up. He bit and laughed. "Truly delicious, hahahaha! Bro pangolin, thank you, thank you. Eat more!" As he spoke, he picked up a few more to feed the pangolin. "Thank you for your reminder, hehe!"
Heaven knows how long the pangolin lives. That looks wise. He stuck out his nose to smell the scent of beans on Hong Dali's hand and carefully ate them. He refused to eat again afterwards.
“Hmm, this is delicious.” Hong Dali ate a few more. Satisfied, he said, "That suppressed my hunger ..." He said to the Bureau Chief, "The deer here belongs to me. No one is allowed to snatch it from me!"
"Your, yours. All yours!" Obviously the Bureau Chief doesn't mind. Although the chickpeas were strange, they were not worth the forest of jade trees.
Hong Dali asked, "Oh yes, Uncle Chief. Do you know what they call them? They're really good."
"I'm not an encyclopedia ..." The Bureau Chief grimly said, "I don't know what his name is. You can name it anything you want since you found it."
"Oh, call it .. Dali beans, then. Hehe. It's a good name!" Hong Dali knelt down, took out about 20 more seeds, and put them in his pocket. He laughed . "This will be my snack in the future. Hehe."
The area with plants producing Dali beans measures almost 20 hectares. It was the only plant in the entire crater. Satisfied, Hong Dali said, "This land is mine. Haha. I will have a steady supply of snacks in the future. Hm. We'll find someone to keep an eye on them, no one is allowed to take it from me!"
With the entire jade tree forest behind him, Hong Dali was only interested in a group of plants that gave him a new snack of — Dali beans. They keep walking. It was strange that after the pangolin ate the Dali beans, he lay motionless and looked like he was sleeping.
The Bureau Chief said, "Dali's beans have a hypnotizing effect? That's weird."
There was nothing but Dali beans in the crater. But Hong Dali did not expect his crater to be so big. After walking for three to four minutes, he finally reached the center of the crater.
Hopefully, right in the middle of the crater there is a meteorite that stands tall. There are Dali beans growing around the meteorite, covering it up. Hong Dali stood under the meteorite and looked at it, looking annoyed. "I thought there'd be something good here, but it's just a piece of rock. Really disappointing …"
