The little white python could not care less, and it swallowed the scorpion in no time. It even stuck out its forked tongue, as if it had not had enough.
Forget it, forget it. It was her precious daughter after all.
Lu Chen smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to continue walking, he felt a chill in his right ear.
He turned around and saw that the black python was also looking at him expectantly with its pair of crystal-like eyes.
Dad, what about me.jpg...
So, it's not easy for a family with a second child to be fair.
Lu Chen had no choice but to rummage through the nearby stone crevices until he caught a similar one for the small black flashing python. Only then could he continue walking.
As Lu Chen continued to go deeper, the light began to dim. The drone also automatically switched to low-light mode.
A faint animal cry came from inside the cave. After being infinitely amplified by the echo, it actually gave off a strange feeling.
[…F * ck, why does it feel like I'm watching a horror movie?]】
[It feels like a monster or a zombie will pounce out in the next moment.】
[Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Damn it, why is it that watching a nature documentary live broadcast is like watching a ghost movie…]
”
Lu Chen looked at the bullet screen in the livestream as he hurried on his way. He could not help but laugh,
"There are no zombies or ghosts here."
However, there were some cute little monsters.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen walked forward and squatted down in front of the rock wall. He pointed at a dark corner and smiled
.
Everyone quickly focused their eyes and saw a pure white shadow in the cracks of the gravel.
"The little guy is a little scared of strangers. Everyone, wait a moment.”
Lu Chen half-knelt down and gently picked up the broken stones near the white figure. A slender pink figure was finally revealed in front of everyone.
It was a creature that looked like a snake but had tiny legs.
Its entire body was a faint pinkish-white color. The sides of its head were as bright as a blooming red flower, and its skin was smooth and pleasant.
The most special thing was that the two sides of its head, where the eyes should have been, were blank!
[F * ck, what is this thing!】
[It feels like a dragon. Is it my illusion?】
[I think it looks so gentle, like a cute little girl...]
[Attention to the person above, you've been exposed]
[Friends who think it looks like a dragon don't have to doubt yourself, because it is indeed called the creature that looks the most like a dragon.”
Lu Chen smiled and placed his left hand in front of the strange creature. His right hand gently knocked on the stone beside him in a certain rhythm.
That thing seemed to be attracted by something and slowly climbed up Lu Chen's left hand.
"
Because its skin is relatively delicate and fragile, even if we gently pinch it, it may cause damage. If we directly grab it, it will scare it. Therefore, we can only use this method to lure it to climb up on its own.
This cute little creature was called a cave salamander, commonly known as a blind python. It was a creature that was thought to only exist in caves in the Alps.
I was lucky enough to see it once when I went abroad with my mentor. I didn't expect to see it here today.”
Lu Chen's voice was filled with joy,
"The lifespan of a cave salamander is very long, and even if it doesn't eat for a long time, it won't die.
This kind of cutie was relatively rare overseas. Legend had it that the first person to discover it named it Proscius. It was the name of a very ancient sea god, meaning the elder of the sea.
Of course, as a cave creature, the cave salamander had nothing to do with the ocean.
Later on, it was discovered more and more, and its reputation gradually spread, and its name also increased.
For example, the White Flag people called it the blind girl. In the past, many marketing accounts in China had taken pictures of it and made small videos to post on the Internet, saying that they had found a young dragon in XX.
In fact, their original forms are all cave salamanders."
Lu Chen looked around, pinched a large mosquito from the stone wall beside him, and sent it to the mouth of the cave salamander.
The cave salamander, which had been motionless and nervous, suddenly opened its mouth and bit the mosquito, swallowing it.
"This kind of cave salamander usually feeds on insects. Because it has lived in a dark cave for many years, its eyes have deteriorated step by step, resulting in its current blind appearance.
However, they only looked blind. In fact, they still retained their eyes that had already degenerated. It was just that they did not have eyelids and could not open them.”
[Brother Lu, what's that little red flower on its neck? It's pretty.]
"That's not a small red flower. That's its gills.”
Lu Chen shook his head with a smile.
"The cave salamander is an earthworm. When it walks on land, it uses its lungs to breathe, but in the water, it uses its gills.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen placed the cave salamander in his hand into the shallow puddle by his feet.
Sure enough, its beautiful petal-like cheeks began to move gently.
"Although the cave salamander has many nice and magical nicknames, I think the term 'otaku' is the most suitable for it.”
Lu Chen smiled as he gently fiddled with the small cave salamander in the water with his fingers.
[Otaku? Why
? [How can an otaku be so beautiful!]
"Because it really is a homebody.”
"It's fine." Lu Chen spread his hands innocently.
"As long as the environment is suitable, it can stay still for seven consecutive years without eating or drinking.
Although the current research evidence was not very sufficient, the academic community generally believed that the cave salamander could live for decades or even a hundred years.
He didn't eat or teach a few times in a hundred years. Wasn't this the ultimate otaku?”
[…I think I know why she's so beautiful when she's an otaku, but I'm just a fat otaku.]】
[I get it. I can become beautiful without eating, drinking, or being full.] Xdm, I'll send a message to the checkpoint now. One like will stop me from charging for a day!】
[And every day is the first day of quitting, right?】
"Alright, alright. Jokes aside, cave salamanders are still very meaningful to our scientific researchers.”
Lu Chen waved his hand,
"Its ability to actively reduce the body's metabolism to the minimum and maintain complete stillness to prolong its survival time is very magical. It is very worth studying."
However, in order to ensure that the species did not leak out, the foreign countries rarely agreed to give such rare little things to foreign countries. Even if they did, they would only give them to males to prevent them from breeding outside the country.
But now, our country also has cave salamanders. We can foresee that in the next few years, our related research will definitely achieve rapid development.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen picked up the small cave salamander from the water and sent it back to the crack where he first found it, watching it slowly crawl back.
"Alright, let's not disturb this cute little fellow. Let it go back and continue to stay in the house.”
As he said that, Lu Chen gently flicked the little white flash python that had already slithered to his wrist with a greedy look on its face
.”
After being flicked by Lu Chen, the little white flash python glanced at Lu Chen with its bright red eyes and slowly swam back reluctantly.
Of course, she did not forget to whip Lu Chen with her little tail from time to time to express her dissatisfaction.
However, Lu Chen did not care at all.
They had just entered the cave, and they had already discovered a rare species of cave salamander that had never been found in China before…
This trip would definitely be full of discoveries!
