Chapter 155: Little White Dragon in the Forest, Scarlet Eyes in the Bat Cave (35)

Chen Sisi came forward and took a closer look: "Is this a cricket?"

"No," Su Ran said, "This is a stove horse, most of which live in dark caves."

After all, as a girl from Northeast China, Chen Sisi is not afraid of rats, cockroaches, or even more so, stovepipes.

But when she suddenly looked up, she grabbed Su Ran's arm in horror and burrowed into his arms.

"Su Ran, look up."

Chen Sisi, hiding in Su Ran's arms, didn't dare to open her eyes. When Su Ran looked up, the camera also focused on the top of the cave.

Densely packed groups of magpies live on the top of the cave, and their long beards cast long and narrow shadows under the light.

The fans in the live broadcast room couldn't help but hold their phones farther away even though they were separated by the screen.

"I have trypophobia, please don't jump on me."

"I don't want to stay here even if you give me 10 million."

"I am willing, where can I get the money?"

The audience couldn't accept the dense crowds of people. Su Ran put her hand on Chen Sisi's head and took her inside.

"The stove horse is actually not scary. This creature is not poisonous or harmful. It just looks a bit scary when there are too many of them."

The further you go in, the bigger and smaller the cave becomes. The place just after you enter the cave is very wide, and there is still enough space for a dozen people to stand together.

As we walked, the cave became narrower.

In a small place, everyone can only pass through one by one.

The narrowest part is less than one meter in diameter. People with small stature can pass through by bending over and curling up, while tall people can only crawl through.

However, once you pass through the narrow area, you will find that the interior space is unexpectedly spacious.

The towering cave ceiling seems to connect the surface and the center of the earth, while the spacious cave chambers are like huge indoor squares, large enough for people to walk freely.

Various stalactites and stalagmites, formed by the continuous dripping, evaporation and sedimentation of water over countless years, have different shapes and are like works of art from nature.

The light in Su Ran's hand was cleverly projected onto the wall of the cave, creating a charming light and shadow effect.

This not only adds to the beauty of the cave, but also makes the sense of space stronger.

Due to the special structure of the cave, the slightest footsteps will echo inside the cave, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

At this moment, Chen Sisi felt as if she was in a completely different world.

The audience was delighted.

"I didn't expect there would be another world here."

"What a good life! If there were broadband internet and some renovations, I'd think this place would be like a paradise."

"I think it's a good place to take shelter. Even if there's a war, no one will find me if I hide here, right?"

The audience's perspective on things is incredibly off.

At this time, the sound of water splashing was heard in the cave.

It was the big otter who jumped directly into the water in the cave.

"There is an underground river here. Judging from the direction of the water flow, it leads forward, and I can feel the wind flowing inside. There should be an exit in front."

Su Ran took out a tissue from his pocket, tore off a corner of it, and threw it into the underground river, watching it float towards the river little by little.

The otter leader, who was having a water fight with Dahei, just poured a handful of water from the water to hit Dahei's face when he suddenly saw a strange creature at the bottom of the clear water and immediately called Su Ran.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"The otter must have discovered something. Let's go check it out."

As he spoke, Su Ran walked forward with the light on, squatted on the shore, and looked in the direction the otter in the water pointed.

It is a small creature with a snow-white body, tender skin and flesh, and horns.

The audience was shocked.

"Damn it, it's a dragon!"
-
“Dragon, dragon, dragon, oh my god, we actually found a real dragon!”

"Fuck, Brother Su is invincible!"

The audience in the live broadcast room became inexplicably excited.

Everyone was obviously delighted at the discovery of a dragon.

After all, many people really saw this creature that looked like a little white dragon for the first time.

Almost no one had to believe that this was the state of a dragon as a child.

The audience began to promote it online, and even went to their own groups to brag about it to their friends.

It is said that a certain anchor discovered a living dragon in the wild.

Then, because of this mistake, Su Ran’s live broadcast room saw a surge in online views of nearly 10 million.

Why is it called a mistake?

Because this thing isn't a dragon at all.

"Everyone... don't get excited, this is actually just a kind of salamander." Su Ran said embarrassedly.

Unexpectedly, it was immediately refuted by the audience.

"I don't believe it, Brother Su, don't lie to me. This is a dragon, how can it not be a dragon?"

"Yes, yes, this is a real little white dragon. Brother Su, I'm afraid you want to catch it and raise it yourself."

amount……

"Although this olm is indeed rare, I don't think it's worth the effort to raise it."

In fact, Su Ran can understand why the fans are so excited.

After all, the dragon is the most famous creature in Chinese mythology.

In the eyes of the ancients, the dragon is a auspicious beast that can call the wind and rain and has a supreme status.

The dragon is also the spiritual totem of the country.

Anyone who claims to be a Chinese will claim to be a descendant of the dragon, but no one has ever seen a real dragon. However, this creature looks very similar to a dragon.

It is reasonable for some people to suspect that this creature is the state of a dragon cub.

After all, there are very few olms in the world, and they are lazy but long-lived.

It is common, just like dragons, but rare.

However, with more and more experts explaining, everyone obviously believed that this quietly lying olm was really not a dragon.

Although it has nothing to do with dragons, olm are rare after all. Su Ran took out his camera and took a close-up photo.

The olm looks so cute in close-up.

It was so cute that it made the whole audience fall in love with it!

"Ah! I am dead."

"I'm bleeding from being cute, please send a nanny to stop the bleeding!"

"Ahhh, how can there be such a cute little creature? Is it smiling at me?"

"Its hands are so small and soft."

There were a lot of comments in the live broadcast room, and the number of gifts also increased.

Su Ran’s live broadcast room directly ranked first on the outdoor hot list of the day!

There's no way, this olm is just too cute.

The adorable little guy simply won the hearts of the audience.

"This little guy is so cute, is he new to this world? Otherwise, why didn't anyone notice him before?"

In fact, it is not the case. Su Ran smiled and said, "Olm is one of the ancient natives of the earth. They have appeared on the earth for more than 10 million years."

More than 10 million, this number surprised the fans.

"Olms are the only cave-dwelling chordates in Europe," continued Su Ran. "They live in underground water veins in limestone caves in the Dinaric Alps."

"Because the place where the olm lived was too hidden, it was not discovered by scientists until 1768. And because of its scarcity, scholars and experts did not begin to study it until the th century."

"It's really rare that we can find cave olms here."

The cave salamander that looks like a little white dragon made everyone unable to help but admire it quietly after the talk.

Because it also has snow-white skin, a snake-like body and eagle-like claws. Except for the lack of deer horns and dragon scales, it looks exactly like a dragon cub.

However, cave salamanders do not have the ability to fly in the clouds.

As amphibians, they breathe with gills underwater and with lungs on land.

The olm has a short tail and its skin is snow-white except for its three pairs of breathing gills which are red. When exposed to sunlight, its skin will turn black and will only return to white after returning to the dark cave.

Because they have lived in pitch-black caves for a long time, their vision has seriously deteriorated over time and their eyes have been hidden under their skin.

So it is also called blind newt.

Under the search of the otter boss, Su Ran discovered several more olms.

They are attached to large rocks, their pink bodies tinged with red.

There was also a cave salamander lying on a rock as if it was sleeping. No matter how loud a noise the otter boss made, it didn't react.

"Olms are the most patient animals. They can stay still for seven years without eating, and their lifespan can even be as long as 100 years!"

If it weren’t for Su Ran, tens of millions of people in the live broadcast room really wouldn’t have known that there were such magical creatures on Earth.

Major media outlets outside also began to report Su Ran's discovery, which attracted a lot of attention.

"Okay, let's go straight ahead and see if there is an exit. These little guys live very comfortably here, so we won't disturb them."

After taking a few precious photos of the olm, Su Ran took Chen Sisi, Dahei and the otter boss and started heading towards the faint light deep in the cave.

But just after walking forward for a dozen meters, a bat seemed to be stimulated by the light and flew directly over Su Ran's head.

"Be careful, it's a bat!"

Hearing this, Chen Sisi hurriedly zipped up her outer zipper to her neck, and Dahei also bared his teeth and took a defensive stance.

The big otter was even more cautious. When he led the way and walked to the front, he found hundreds of bats hanging upside down on the rock wall with their front limbs folded.

The scene was extremely spectacular.

These bats are only the size of a grown man's fist.

Liu Yang, deputy secretary-general of the local Wildlife Conservation Association, stared at the live broadcast screen and watched carefully.

A string of comments were quickly edited.

"There are two kinds of bats living in this cave. One is the horseshoe-nosed bat, also known as the horseshoe-nosed bat. The other is the northeastern tube-nosed bat, which often lives in groups with the horseshoe-nosed bat."

"Both of these bats feed mainly on insects and are beneficial to humans."

"These two types of bats are not currently included in the list of national key protected animals in my country. However, they are listed in the Red List of Endangered Species internationally."

After all, he is an expert and can see so much information even through the screen.

However, Liu Yang was still amazed: "Host, the large-scale bat habitat you have discovered is the first to be found in the Linhai area."

"These bats have a lot of research value, and there are specialized research institutions in the province that study their pedigrees, sounds, languages, etc."

However, even if they are animals that are interested in humans, bats are still not considered cute animals.

Su Ran held Chen Sisi in his arms: "Bats generally don't attack people unless they feel dangerous. But they carry many germs, so it's best to be careful."

At this moment, being in such a bat cave, the audience's breathing became rapid.

"This is more fun than a haunted house."

"It's so exciting. It's such a spectacular and breathtaking place. You can't see it in the city."

"Hey, what are those red eyes at the innermost part?"

Su Ran: "What?!"
