"Director Yang, you can't go down there, really, there's something unclean inside."
"Yeah, why don't we invite some eminent monks to perform a ritual? We always do this for construction projects in the past."
"Better safe than sorry."
......
Despite the persuasion from a group of construction workers, Yang Lin paid no heed and directly tied the rope around his waist.
After having the system for such a long time, if one were to insist there was anything unscientific in this world, it could only be him.
"Alright, I've made up my mind. I must go down and see what's going on down there today."
"Also, I'll fix the camera lens later, and I'll give you a live exploration today. I want to show you that there's absolutely nothing unclean in this world."
With that, Yang Lin opened the official live broadcast channel of Xihong Zoo.
Instantly, a large number of zoo fans flooded into the live broadcast room.
"What's going on? What day is it that Xihong Zoo is actually live streaming?"
"Is there some new online event at the zoo? Or are they releasing new merchandise?"
"Let's have some new merchandise. I heard that a special New Year's edition is coming out soon."
.....
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room was wondering why it suddenly started broadcasting, Yang Lin's voice suddenly appeared.
"Hello, everyone. I'm currently at the construction site next to Xihong Zoo."
"This will also be one of the future new park areas. However, during the construction, we discovered a mysterious underground cave."
"Now I plan to go down to the cave and see what's going on inside."
As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room found the camera suddenly dropping rapidly.
They instantly felt like they were on a roller coaster.
At the same time, the originally bright light turned completely dark.
After about ten seconds, the live broadcast room lit up again.
The next second, all the viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned by the scene before them.
In an underground space filled with strange rocks, strangely shaped stalactites and stalagmites stood tall.
And among these stalactites, there were occasional twinkling lights, like stars in this dark space.
Clearly, it wasn't just the audience who were shocked by this scene; Yang Lin himself was no exception.
He had thought it was just an ordinary underground cave, but he didn't expect to discover such a large area of stalactites.
To form such a massive stalactite forest, it would take millions of years.
This stalactite forest alone was enough to be developed into a tourist attraction.
"We're rich, we're rich! We'll keep this stalactite forest in the park, it'll be perfect."
After the excitement, Yang Lin immediately turned on his flashlight to inspect the stalactite forest.
It was better not to look, but after looking, he found surprises everywhere.
Among the extensive stalactite forest were large exposed clusters of quartz.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, these colorless and transparent quartz clusters shone as brightly as crystals.
Although quartz minerals are not valuable, such a large area of quartz clusters is a rare natural wonder.
With a little lighting, the cave would become beautiful.
In addition to these quartz clusters, Yang Lin also found a large amount of bioluminescent moss on the cave walls.
The twinkling lights just now were emitted by these bioluminescent mosses.
However, Yang Lin felt a sense of disappointment when he saw the moss.
"I thought it was some valuable gemstone."
And just as he finished speaking, the strange sound he had heard outside before echoed again in the spacious cave.
Unlike the feeling of hearing it outside.
Amplified by the cave, the sounds became extremely eerie and terrifying.
This scared the viewers in the live broadcast room into a shiver.
"Holy crap, what kind of ghost sound is that? Are there ghosts in this cave?"
"Could it be some ancient creature left over from millions of years ago?"
"It's possible. This cave formed millions of years ago and has been isolated from the surface. Perhaps there are creatures from millions of years ago hiding here, escaping extinction."
"What if it's some kind of mutated creature?"
"Could it be dinosaurs?"
.....
While the audience was guessing, Yang Lin had already turned on his exploration radar.
To his surprise, after activating the exploration radar, a large number of light spots immediately appeared.
The sheer number exceeded his imagination.
Even in one area, the density of light spots had reached a terrifying level.
But what surprised him even more was the information displayed after he casually clicked on one of the light spots.
[??? (Healthy) 3 months indifferent]
"Why is it a question mark? Is it a creature that even the system can't identify?"
Unconvinced, Yang Lin quickly clicked on the information of other light spots, but the results were no different. The places where animal names should have been were all question marks.
After thinking for about a minute, he finally came up with a reason that convinced himself.
The animal types currently given by the system are clearly based on the names given by humans.
For example, pandas are named by humans, not by their innate designation.
Since all the animal names here are question marks, the most likely reason is that the animals living in this cave have never been discovered by humans before, nor have they been named.
After realizing this, Yang Lin became even more excited.
He was about to discover animals never before seen by humans, which was enough to leave his name in China's biology textbooks.
Immediately, he walked towards the light spot closest to him.
When he found the location of the light spot, a strangely shaped animal appeared before him.
At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room saw this creature they had never seen before through the camera.
It had a body like a giant salamander, but only two front legs. Its head was like a large catfish, flat and wide.
Even stranger, it had no eyes. In their place were six long tentacles.
On the sides of its body were fin-like appendages like wings.
From the perspective of the audience, this was not a life form that should exist on Blue Star, but more like an alien species.
Just as the audience didn't know how to refer to the strange creature before them, Yang Lin suddenly spoke:
"Six-eyed Flying Fish."
Upon hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded.
"Director Yang is that amazing? He can identify underground creatures at first glance."
"As expected of Director Yang, his knowledge base is so rich."
"Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Director Yang says it is, and it's correct."
.....
However, the words Yang Lin spoke in the next second stunned them completely.
"From today onwards, you will be called Six-eyed Flying Fish."
"No, it should be called Yang's Six-eyed Flying Fish."
He then let out a burst of laughter.
ps: I can't write anymore. I originally planned to write about the ocean part, but found too many knowledge gaps, so I have to slowly catch up.
I can only write this much today. My head is so itchy, I should be growing some more brain.
Good night, everyone.
