Luo Feng quickly changed locations to continue digging.
After unearthing a treasure marker… “Why did he find another rock?”
“Let’s move to a different spot quickly!”
“The host and rocks really have a good connection!”
Luo Feng picked up the rock, which appeared heavy, and laughed, “This is not just a rock, you know. This is called a fossil.”
“Uh, forgive me, I am just an ordinary person! I cannot recognize greatness.
Pray tell, what kind of fossil is this? Isn’t it just a rock?” “Hahaha! Old Luo, you shouldn’t deceive people like this!”
“Aren’t all fossils bones?”
Luo Feng chuckled, “What do you all know? Who said that fossils must be bones? This was a weapon used by early humans. Yes, it is indeed a rock, and like ordinary rocks, it has been on Earth for many, many years. But it was artificially polished a million years ago, making it a fossil from over a million years ago!”
“Wow! Ancient humans? Is that true?”
“Host, is this a fossil?”
“Ancient humans? Doesn’t this mean that you’ve just dug up the grave of human ancestors?”
Luo Feng explained, “This object is called a Yunying stone. Ancient people generally used such stones to make sharp weapons for defending against or capturing wild beasts. Judging by the shape of the stone tool, it is definitely a hallmark of the Old Stone Age!”
“I can now confidently say that this was a weapon used by ancient humans in the Old Stone Age!”
“I just cannot be sure if all these fossils are from the same period!”
“However, they all appeared together, and in the archaeological world, it usually means they are from the same period!”
“That ancient giant panda, I suspect it was hunted by these ancient humans!
Perhaps they used the stone tools I just dug up to hunt it!”
After Luo Feng said this, the viewers of the livestream were naturally shocked.
Did Luo Feng really unearth the relics of prehistoric humans?
It was truly amazing.
“Wow! Did the host really dig up the grave of our human ancestors?”
“Pay your respects to our human ancestors!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Luo Feng laughed, “Do not bow, everyone. If it is the Old Stone Age, most of them would be Homo erectus, while our human ancestors are Homo sapiens! However, Homo sapiens also existed in the Old Stone Age and made stone tools. Ah, there is too little information right now to make a judgment. Let us dig some more!”
After leaving the fossils in their original location, Luo Feng went to the next treasure marker.
There were many treasures at this spot.
They all appeared to be fossils.
But it was hard to say if they were from the same period.
Fossils that appeared together might not be from the same period.
Many ancient human living relics could overlap.
The reason for this overlap is simple: humans like to find suitable places to live, and since everyone has intelligence, they naturally know what places are suitable for human survival.
Thus… Overlapping is not a strange occurrence.
“Clang! ”
With a swing of his shovel, the treasure marker’s contents quickly came into view.
Luo Feng looked at what appeared to be a bone fossil but could not be sure.
Quickly, he followed the direction of the bone and continued digging.
What he eventually dug up was indeed an animal bone fossil.
Of the bones, only the tail and one leg remained, making it impossible to determine what kind of prehistoric creature it was.
A well-preserved ancient giant panda skeleton, like the one found earlier, was quite rare and perhaps a stroke of luck
At noon, Luo Feng had already dug up about a dozen fossils.
Apart from the giant panda fossil, there were no other complete sets of animal fossils.
Of course, after discovering the ancient human relics, Luo Feng’s popularity had soared, and his findings had attracted significant attention online.
Gu Santong had been patiently waiting, resisting the urge to call, not out of disinterest but out of concern that a call would disturb Luo Feng.
Luo Feng had previously mentioned that unless it was an emergency, calls should be avoided while digging.
After all, they could watch the live stream and call him when he was taking a break.
Not only Gu Santong but also experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, such as Dr. Wu, a specialist in ancient vertebrates, were informed and began watching the live stream.
When Dr. Wu saw the well-preserved skeleton of the ancient giant panda, a species known as the Bashan panda, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
“It’s really… it’s really the ancestor panda! All the characteristics match! There’s no mistake!” he exclaimed.
“This Mr. Luo is truly a professional! Only he could find such treasures!” Dr. Wu said as he grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
The call was naturally to Long Jianfei.
“Hello, Elder Long? Do you have Mr. Luo’s phone number?”
“Dr. Wu, what do you mean? Do you wish to go there in person?”
“Yes, Luo Feng has discovered a Bashan panda and ancient human-made stone tools. I believe there may be traces of Homo erectus living there! I must go and see for myself!” Dr. Wu said firmly.
“Alright, I’ll call him for you!” Long Jianfei replied and immediately dialed Luo Feng’s number.
Luo Feng was in the middle of digging and was getting annoyed by the calls.
He had, after all, mentioned that calls should be avoided while digging.
However, seeing that it was Long Jianfei who called, he decided to be respectful since Long was the head of the Palace Museum.. “Hello, Elder Long! How can I help you?”
