111 This Is Scripted, Isn’t It? How Can You Dig Up a Fossil? (3)
“Host, you’ve already reached the bottom of the soil from the landslide, why aren’t you stopping yet? It doesn’t seem like there’s anything here anyway!”
“That’s right! Just rejoice in the fact that you’ve already gotten this many carcasses!”
“What matters most is perseverance! Keep working on it, host!”
“Just switch spots! Switch spots man, there’s nothing worth money here!”
Luo Feng’s viewers were voicing their thoughts loud and clear.
However, Luo Feng had no intention of giving up on the dot.
Suddenly, a clang could be heard.
Based on its sound, it did not seem like a corpse, but it was not particularly tough either.
[ Ding! You have dug up an animal carcass! ]
[ It is worth 3.2 million yuan! ]
Holy moly!
What the hell?
How is it worth more than 3 million?
Luo Feng was dumbfounded.
Wtf is this?
What kind of animal carcass could have such a high value?
Even ivory isn’t this expensive, right?
Luo Feng’s thoughts began to wander as he considered all the possibilities. What kind of carcass could it be?
Could it perhaps be a human corpse?
Maybe it’s the body of a rich heir’s child, if I send it back to their family, perhaps I’ll rake in a 3 million yuan reward?
Otherwise, even animals as precious as a giant panda would not fetch such a high price.
Plus, we’re deep in the mountains and there was even a landslide recently, no one with a sane mind would possibly come here, right?
It’s only us treasure hunters who would venture this deep into the mountains.
Luo Feng eventually gave up.
Regardless of what he thought it was, he would know the real answer once he dug it out.
With that in mind, he began to dig.
Each and every one of his swings contained great power.
It was clear to all the viewers that Luo Feng wanted to unearth the item as soon as possible.
He had an uncharacteristic gleam to his eyes, and each swing of his hoe contained a great sense of purpose.
It felt like Luo Feng had become a completely different person.
About 20 minutes later.
The skull of the corpse began to emerge.
However, there was no rotten flesh attached to it this time, only white bones.
It did not appear to be an animal caught in the landslide.
It seemed more likely that the bones had belonged to an animal that had long passed on, perhaps decades ago.
“It doesn’t seem to be human bones!”
Luo Feng immediately ruled out human bones because the creature’s skull was obviously bigger than a human bone, greatly so.
This piqued Luo Feng’s interest even further, as he could not figure out how it would be worth millions if it was not the corpse of a rich heir.
What kind of animal’s body could fetch millions?
“Host, what animal’s bones are these? It seems to have been dead for many, many years, right?”
“It’s definitely an animal’s bones!”
“…”
“Of course it’s an animal’s bones! It can’t very well be made out of plastic, now, could it?”
As usual, Luo Feng left his viewers to their own devices. Since the animal’s skull did not provide sufficient information to identify it, Luo Feng was left with one other choice, to continue digging until he could fully uncover the animal’s body.
This time, however, Luo Feng took great care when digging.
After all, he was now working on unearthing a 3-million-yuan body.
He could no longer afford to be careless.
Another 23 minutes passed, and Luo Feng had fully uncovered the creature’s full skeleton.
He stood up and climbed up to get a better viewing angle of it.
It was an animal skeleton with a very long spine.
Its ribs were clearly layered, and it was well preserved.
It did not seem to have any parts missing.
“Wow, host, what kind of animal is this?”
“It looks like it’s quite big!”
...
“It’s like, what, 2 meters?”
“Could it be a dinosaur fossil?”
“Huh, is a dinosaur is only 2 meters tall?”
“Bruh, it’s not like there aren’t small dinosaurs too!”
“It looks like a large carnivore.”
“I think it looks like a rhinoceros!”
“A rhinoceros, high up in the mountains… Are you for real?”
“Can’t be a tiger either. I’m certain that South Chinese Tigers are not as big as whatever this is!”
“Could it be black blindman?”
“The heck is a black blindman?”
“An Asian black bear. duh!”
...
“Hmm, its tailbone seems rather long. It can’t possibly be a bear, since their tails are usually quite short.”
The viewers were scrambling about in an attempt to identify the animal that the bones had belonged to.
However, it was proving more difficult that expected.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng was paying close attention to the creature’s skeletal structure. He studied it closely, and there was a strange glint in his eyes.
This thing has sharp claws.
It might be a cat-based species…
But…
Wait…
Hold the f*ck up..
It’s buried deep into the ground and has two sharp fangs?
Luo Feng had overlooked it until this moment.
The creature’s fangs seemed to be at least 10 centimeters long!
???
?????
What kind of tiger is this?
How can its fangs be this sharp?
Plus, a tiger’s teeth are usually only around 6.5 to 7.6 centimeters long.
No tiger’s teeth could exceed 10 centimeters.
But these fangs are almost 12 centimeters long.
Damn!
Could it be a saber-toothed tiger?
Wait, is this for real? Did I actually dig up a saber-toothed tiger’s corpse?
No, no, I should consider this a fossil instead.
“Dear viewers, I can confirm that this is indeed the corpse of a tiger!”
While what Luo Feng had spoken was indeed the truth, he had only covered half of it.
“The heck, I’m not trying to offend you, but don’t you think it’s rather unprofessional to claim that it’s a tiger?”
“Yeah! I used to think that the host was some knowledgeable hotshot, but from what his latest statement, it seems that he’s just been winging it all along!”
“Bruh, are you trying to fool us? How can a South China Tiger reach this size!”
“The South China Tiger is actually very small. This seems more like a Northeastern Tiger!”
“There’s no possibility that this is a tiger’s corpse!”
Many knowledgeable viewers began to attack Luo Feng in an effort to garner attention towards themselves.
However, what they had spoken was true. South China Tigers were indeed on the smaller size among tigers.
It was for this reason that some had assumed that the skeleton had belonged to a rhinoceros at the beginning.
“The South China Tiger isn’t this big,” Luo Feng said with a sly grin on his face. “However, what if it’s a saber-toothed tiger instead? Would its size make sense then?”
