Super Zoo

"They are both dogs, but the difference is too big."

Su Ming looked at the two huskies with disdain. If Wangcai's Fu was here, maybe he could really help. Even a Chihuahua could be considered "ferocious" compared to these two huskies.

The people on the shore felt that time passed very slowly. In fact, it took less than half a minute for the battle in the water to end. Su Meng grabbed the crocodile's tail and walked back to the shore step by step like a dead dog.

The crocodile just got out of the water and turned its head to bite Su Meng. Su Meng roared, like a thunder in the cave, and swung his hand, spinning the crocodile in the air and smashing it hard on the ground.

With a muffled sound, a large pit in the shape of a crocodile was smashed on the mud. The crocodile was no longer able to resist. It lay in the pit with its limbs spread out, shaking its claws like it had epilepsy.

"Will it be smashed into an idiot?" Su Ming couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Zhao Yun had his eyes opened today. He had heard stories about Li Yuanba's arms being as strong as a thousand pounds, but he thought it was just bragging. The old man in front of him was just a living tyrant. In ancient times, he was a real warrior who could defeat thousands of enemies.

But he was older after all. After a moment of surprise, he quickly found a roll of black tape from his backpack and asked Su Meng to press the crocodile's mouth and wrap it up in circles.

The bite force of the crocodile was amazing, but it took little effort to open its mouth. Even if it was a giant crocodile of seven or eight meters long, as long as an adult pressed its mouth, the crocodile would not be able to open its mouth to bite people. So after catching a crocodile, the first thing to do was to tie up its mouth, instead of tying up its hands and feet like catching a person.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Su Ming still tied up the crocodile tightly with a high-strength climbing rope.

Three dogs and a wolf curiously surrounded the crocodile, scratching the crocodile's hard back scales with their front paws from time to time. The husky probably knew that there was no danger, so it simply climbed onto the crocodile's back and squatted, looking up at the sky and making a not-so-authentic wolf howl, with a proud look in his eyes, like a conqueror.

"You guys come down, don't kill it, this guy is a national treasure!"

Su Ming and Zhao Yun observed it for a while and recognized that this crocodile, which was more than two meters long, should be a national first-class protected animal, the Yangtze alligator, which is known as a living fossil at the same time as the dinosaurs.

In terms of quantity, the Yangtze alligator may be rarer than the Yangtze River dolphin, and there may be only dozens of wild ones. Its status in the Chinese animal world is almost the same as that of the giant panda. But as I said, in this era where everything depends on appearance, the cute giant panda is obviously more popular and more concerned than the fierce-looking crocodile.

The Qinling Mountains and the Yangtze River Basin have been the habitats of alligators since ancient times. The last time Su Ming went to rescue the finless porpoises, he was still worried about whether there would be alligators in the reed marshes near the abandoned lake.

The alligators are actually quite docile in nature and generally do not attack people actively. Even if they do, they rarely kill people.

Su Meng was lucky to have encountered an alligator, so he was not seriously injured. Generally, alligators hunt by biting their prey and then violently rolling their bodies to tear the prey into pieces, but alligators are not so violent. Their hunting method sounds quite funny: after biting their prey, if the prey is a land animal, they will drag it into the water to suffocate it, and if the prey is an aquatic animal, they will throw it onto the shore and wait for the prey to die of lack of oxygen.

That's why the alligator dragged Su Meng into the water just now.

Although alligators have seemingly sharp teeth, they are alveolar teeth. This type of teeth cannot be used for cutting and chewing, and can only clamp prey like a large clamp. Sometimes the prey is too big for it to swallow, so it can only wait for the prey to rot on its own in a very depressed state... In short, if there are cute crocodiles, the Yangtze alligator will definitely be ranked first.

Su Ming measured it with a tape measure. This Yangtze alligator is about two meters and three meters long. It is a giant among the generally smaller Yangtze alligators. It is probably an old guy who has lived for a long time.

Because it is a Cretaceous species with a history of nearly 10,000 years, the Yangtze alligator can be regarded as a "pseudo-divine beast". In the evolution of 10,000 years, it has almost reached a perfect form, so its mental resistance is so strong. The bloodline of the giant salamander is even older than that of the Yangtze alligator, but it knows how to adapt to the situation.

The more powerful a person is, the worse his temper is, and the same is true for animals. The giant salamander was scared in front of Su Ming at the beginning, largely because it was not as fierce as the Yangtze alligator; and the Yangtze alligator was beaten up by Su Meng today, because it was too confident in its own strength and misjudged the situation.

"It should have fallen from the cave entrance." Zhao Yun pointed to the hole on the water surface not far away, because they just came out of the water and did not find any other fish in the water. This pool is actually a water pit. There is no food for the Yangtze alligator to fill its stomach. It is impossible for it to live in the cave all the time.

A lost crocodile.

"Not necessarily." Su Ming looked back at the depths of the dark cave.

After getting on the shore, he found that the space behind the cave was very large, much wider than the karst cave where Su Meng lived before. The wolf tooth flashlight could not reach the end at all. Maybe there would be some animals in the cave, and it was hard to say whether it would become the food of this Yangtze alligator.

I just don't know what strange creatures will appear in this dark cave.

"Let's bandage Su Meng first." Zhao Yun is good at everything. His skills in applying medicine and bandaging are much better than those of the nurses at the zoo medical center. He applied some medicine to Su Meng's injured calf to prevent inflammation. Then the hands and feet were neatly tied with gauze.

Su Ming took this opportunity to shine a flashlight and observe the 'cave' on the shore.

Just now I saw that there seemed to be many buildings on the shore. It was only when I got closer that I saw clearly that they were houses.

Houses, lots of houses!

Near the water's edge, the ground is littered with decayed wooden blocks of all sizes, as well as some stones of various shapes. Some of the nearest houses have completely collapsed, leaving only a foundation, while others have collapsed. Half or one or two of the walls seemed to have been crushed by something falling from the sky.

Further away, there are three rows of houses, probably dozens of them, leading into the distance. From the outside, most of the overall structures are complete. Judging from the architectural style, with cornices, carved beams, and row upon row of buildings, it should be the Jiangnan architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, leaning towards the Hui style.

Three rows of houses, each a few meters apart, form two natural underground streets.

After Zhao Yun finished bandaging Su Meng, he also used a flashlight to shine inside. After seeing the situation clearly, he took a deep breath.

"Uncle Zhao, please don't scare me." Su Ming rolled his eyes. The cave was already eerie, and seeing so many buildings that looked like those in zombie movies, Su Ming actually felt a little nervous all the time, and Zhao Yun sucked in the 'cool air' so fast and fast, it was like sucking. It was like porridge, and there was a whooshing sound in the cave, which startled Su Ming.

"No, I was surprised. I didn't expect to find an ancient building complex here!"

"So what?" Su Ming pointed to the group of Huizhou houses in front and asked anxiously, "Do you think that after we walk past, a lot of zombies will suddenly jump out of the houses on both sides of the street?"

"This is possible in a film and television city." Zhao Yun smiled, and then explained: "If you don't do antique research, you don't know the value of this building complex. There may not be any particularly valuable cultural relics here, but this building Qun is the epitome of a village in an era, and it is a huge cultural treasure in itself!”

"Uncle Zhao, please stop beating me. Don't worry, I can't possibly tear down these houses and resell them." Su Ming said.

Zhao Yun flashed the flashlight a few more times, pondered for a moment, and said: "I probably guessed that this is not an ancient tomb at all. It should have been a village or a town or something. It was built on the mountainside and was flooded by flash floods. It was very Maybe part of the town was washed down the mountain many years ago, and what we see now is the part that survived the disaster. When we go in later, you must be careful and try not to bang any buildings in the town. Since they have been washed away by flash floods and have been underground for so many years, these buildings are already very unstable and will easily collapse if a little external force is applied.”

Zhao Yun was probably attracted by this rare underground building and couldn't wait to go deeper.

Su Meng was doing better. There was an injury on his leg, but it didn't hinder his movement. Gray Tooth could be of help. Although the Labrador was not big, he was born as a hunting dog and could be carried around. As for the two Hutchies, forget it, it's better to keep them with you to save these two guys from causing any trouble.

Su Ming used his mental power to explore the old alligator. This guy was beaten to death and was left with only one breath left. He was unable to resist. It seems that he is not dead yet. Bundle him up and leave him here. When he comes back, he will find a way to take him back to the zoo. There happens to be a shortage of animals in the aquarium. Go back and let him It is a neighbor with finless porpoises and giant salamanders.

So three people, three dogs, and a wolf walked slowly into the buildings along a street on the left.

When Zhao Yun said that it was not an ancient tomb, but a mountain village, Su Ming felt even more dangerous! An ancient tomb can only contain one or two people buried there, but if a village is washed away by a flash flood, how many dead people must be inside?

There is also a movie called Mountain Village Old Corpse!

Zhao Yun was really speechless and said: "You young people, why can't you be a little more materialistic? All the Marxist politics classes have been in vain? You have to find a few zombie monsters or something before you give up?"

"Because monsters are valuable!" Su Ming gave an explanation that even Zhao Yun really found to be reasonable.
