Chapter 438
Chapter 438 Rhodes Whale, the Secret of Evolution
As the weird voice sounded outside, the expressions on the faces of Father Yang and Mother Yang who were already relaxed suddenly changed drastically.
And Yang Lin naturally felt this.
But after being deceived twice in a row, he learned wisely this time.
"You are planning to lie to me again, aren't you? This time I won't be fooled by you."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Father Yang's big hand directly covered his mouth, and at the same time, the flashlight in his hand was snatched away.
"Don't make any noise, there's something outside!"
Suddenly hearing Yang's father's low voice, Yang Lin's expression changed, and at the same time, the little arctic fox in his arms became restless.
It took more than ten minutes before the strange crawling sound outside gradually disappeared.
After the sound disappeared, Yang's father let go of Yang Lin.
If he looked carefully, he would find that Yang Lin's face was already turning purple at this time.
"Huh... Dad, your hands are still as strong as when you were a kid."
While taking a deep breath, Yang Lin looked at his father behind him with lingering fear.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll make a noise and bring in the monsters outside." Father Yang touched his head in embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"Please, I'm almost thirty now, please explain what I'm yelling about."
"It's common for fathers and sons to be at odds with each other, but it's really rare for fathers and sons like us to not be familiar with each other."
After saying this, Yang Lin changed the subject.
"By the way, if I heard the sound right, it should be some kind of reptile. How could there be reptiles living in an environment like this?"
Regarding Yang Lin's question, Yang's father and Yang's mother did not answer immediately this time, but carefully brought him to a huge space.
Based on the structure of the cavity, Yang Lin could probably tell that this was where the brain of the giant whale was.
After confirming that the current environment was completely safe, Yang's father and Yang's mother invited Yang Lin to sit down.
"We don't know how you found this place, but since you were able to find it, you must have been in contact with those Inuit people."
"So you must have heard of their legend."
Hearing this, Yang Lin nodded.
“Those mysterious crawling creatures out there are related to Inuit legends?”
"It doesn't matter."
. . . . . .
"It doesn't matter. Then why are you talking about this? Let's get to the point." Yang Lin said speechlessly.
"Okay, let me talk about the key point. The key point is that this should be the legacy of the landforms tens of millions of years ago. Because of the crustal movement more than 20 million years ago, this place has changed from the surface world to the inner world."
"Because of this change, creatures that should have become extinct or should have further evolved stopped evolving here. Yes, I'm talking about the monsters outside."
After hearing this, Yang Lin almost understood.
Obviously, the unknown mysterious creatures wandering outside should be the relics of the Shenlongjia, but they are older than them, so far away that the ancestors of humans have not yet appeared.
"So have you seen what that thing looks like before?"
Yang Lin frowned and asked again.
Just after he asked this question, Yang's mother on the other side reached out and handed over a notebook.
On the latest page of the notebook, a deformed creature sketched in pencil was clearly visible.
Sharp teeth, short claws, webs, tail, long hair, fins.
These unrelated biological characteristics are all concentrated on this creature at this moment, as if they were pieced together.
It has both the appearance of a reptile and the characteristics of a fish.
After studying it carefully for a long time, Yang Lin finally shook his head.
"What the hell is this? Why does it look so ugly?"
Seeing that Yang Lin couldn't understand why, Yang's mother took the notebook over.
"If I read this creature correctly, it should be Rhodopus whales, the oldest whale species, the ancestor of modern whales, and the intermediate form of whales evolving from land creatures to marine creatures."
"But don't call her ugly yet. In theory, she is a distant cousin of us humans."
"Rhode's whale? Wasn't that a species that lived more than 40 million years ago? Can it survive to this day?"
After knowing the truth, Yang Lin was immediately surprised.
"What's incredible about this? Isn't the most incredible thing that we are seeing this fossil now?"
Yang Ma said calmly.
Hearing what she said, it seemed to Yang Lin that it was true when he thought about it carefully. No matter how many creatures existed tens of millions of years ago, they seemed much more normal than the giant skeleton in front of him.
Just when Yang Lin was thinking this, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Discover a new species - Rodho whale, and be rewarded with 100,000 achievement points."
Before he could react, the second system prompt sounded again.
"Ding! A special energy reaction has been discovered, and a temporary mission has been released."
"Temporary mission: Ask the host to find the source of energy reaction."
"Task reward: unknown."
Hearing a series of prompts in his mind, Yang Lin couldn't help but reveal a series of complex expression changes on his face.
It took more than a minute for him to finally recover.
Fortunately, due to the dim light, Yang's parents did not notice his expression change.
"Another energy reaction. Could it be that there is a radiation source here, just like on Dolphin Island before?"
While muttering to himself, Yang Lin scanned the huge chamber with his eyes.
From his current perspective, the cavity used to hold the brain is almost as big as a basketball hall.
In addition to the space they are currently in, there are some small chambers connected to it.
After looking at it for a while, two symmetrically distributed holes caught his attention.
If he guessed correctly, these two holes should be the two eyes of the giant beast.
"Let's go there first, maybe the energy reaction comes from there."
With a thought, he made up an excuse and climbed to the two suspected eye sockets alone.
Five minutes later, he arrived at the left eye socket first.
Just as he entered from a gap, a huge gray-white round bead appeared in front of him.
Looking at this round bead that was bigger than the house, Yang Lin took a deep breath.
There was no doubt that the round bead was spherical and appeared in such a position. The identity of this round bead no longer needed to be guessed.
This was an unprecedented large eyeball.
After being shocked, Yang Lin tentatively stretched out his left hand slowly towards the large eyeball with trepidation.
The moment his palm touched the large eyeball, he felt an electric shock.
The next second, his eyes went black.
The moment he closed his eyes, scenes like slides began to appear in front of him.
In just a dozen seconds, he experienced the entire process of life evolution, and at this moment the mystery of evolution was presented to him without reservation.
