Chapter 1278: Jaguar

People are curious. Tomb robbery novels are popular because they can greatly satisfy people's curiosity.
Zhao Zhongyao paused for a while, then went on to tell his wife and children about this nine-story demon building.
This "nine-story demon tower" has a legend in the local area. The ancient tombs were once caves where demons hid. King Gesar led the heroes and the group of demons to fight for many days and finally drove the demons away. But the magic cave is not empty, there are countless gold and silver treasures left in it. Therefore, the local people call these ancient tombs "the magic cave." This ancient tomb belongs to the Tuguhun royal family tomb that rose early in the Tang Dynasty. There are many small tombs around the large tomb, but they have been stolen by tomb thieves and have not been preserved intact.
At present, archaeologists have only excavated the first and second floors of the tomb, and unearthed a large number of funerary objects and more than 700 remains of horses, cattle, sheep and other animals that were buried. Among the many burial objects, there are ancient leather boots, ancient Tibetan wood chips, ancient Mongolian wood tablets, painted wood chips and gold ornaments, wooden dishes, wooden birds and beasts, grain and a large amount of silk. What is puzzling is why the archaeological work at that time stopped abruptly after only two levels? According to the statement at the time, because the scale of the tomb was too large and the ability to protect cultural relics was limited, the archaeologists only excavated After two floors, I never went deep into it, just like the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. However, there was another popular saying at that time, saying that many weird things happened frequently when digging, so the digging stopped. However, only those who participated at the time knew what the facts were.
Although the nine-story demon tower is a novel, it is not groundless. "Laozi" talks about philosophy using architecture as a metaphor. There are nine-story terraces. It started with the theory of building soil. It can be seen that there were nine-story terraces in the Spring and Autumn Period. Unfortunately, the remains of the nine-story terraces of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty have not been discovered. Qin Shihuang was a weird man. He built a 30-meter-high building in the underground palace, just for the soul to travel to the underground palace. As for the mystery of the nine-story demon tower built on the surface, it seems that he has asked for archaeological discovery.
It is worth mentioning that in Chinese history, the number nine is an existence full of metaphysical significance. Some people say that nine stands for "nine nine into one", which means that everything belongs to nature, and it also means unification. This echoed Qin Shihuang's unification of the six countries. In addition, the homonym of "nine" is "jiu", which has a long and lasting meaning. In the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, it represents that Qin Shihuang's great achievements will be passed down for generations.
Zhao Zhongyao told everyone about this nine-story demon building. After listening, everyone was very surprised. Especially Feifei. He was even more surprised. You know, he only saw the description of the'Nine-story Demon Building' in the novel before. He was thinking that this is just a fictitious plot in the novel. In reality, there may not be such a thing as a nine-story demon building.
But now I have heard what Zhao Zhongyao said about this'nine-story demon building'. Everyone knows that this "Nine-Floor Demon Tower" novel is not groundless, but a novel story based on the real existence of the "Nine-Floor Demon Tower," coupled with artistic processing.
"Dad, after we play the Pyramid of the Sun, let's go to the'Nine-Story Demon Tower' again! I really want to see what this legendary'Nine-Story Demon Tower" looks like." Feifei heard what Zhao Zhongyao said about the'Nine-story Demon Building'. It made him more interested in this ancient tomb.
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said with some difficulty: "I'm afraid this won't work. The ancient tomb is not a place that everyone can visit. It depends on whether the ancient tomb is open to the outside world. If it is open to the outside world, it will naturally be. You can go to see it. But if it is not open to the outside world, naturally you can't.
As far as I know, this nine-story demon building ancient tomb is not open to the public, so we can only learn some stories about this nine-story demon building from the side. It's impossible to see it on the spot. "
Feifei felt a little regretful after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said. I feel that I cannot go to the scene of the'Nine-story Demon Building'.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei a little unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Although we can't go to our country's'nine-story demon building' to explore. But we can explore the sun pyramid! The place of the nine-story demon building. , Although we cannot go directly. But we know that this ancient tomb has already been excavated. We can also learn a lot about this ancient tomb from the side.
But this pyramid of the sun is different. This is a mysterious place where no one has ever entered. As long as we can enter the inside of the Pyramid of the Sun, we will be able to understand many secrets about Maya civilization that modern people do not understand. "
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Feifei smiled again. After all, he can treat this nine-story pyramid as a nine-story demon building. In this way, he was able to find some mysterious information about the Mayans from the nine-story pyramid.
"Dad's words are reasonable, so let's take a look inside the Pyramid of the Sun! Maybe we will find something special. We can also solve the reason for the rapid decline of Mayan civilization." Feifei changed again. Have to be happy.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao's family came out of the scenic spot after playing for a while. Then he returned to the place where the UFO car was on the same route.
When they came out this time, Zhao Zhongyao's family had already brought enough things to go out. Not only equipped but also food. Although the speed of the UFO car is very fast. It doesn’t take long to return to the capital of China from this place.
But Zhao Zhongyao's family didn't want to toss back and forth. They just want to eat dinner on this flying saucer car. After that, take a rest on the UFO car. Wait until the evening, and then explore the Pyramid of the Sun.
Eating dinner in the Amazon rainforest, and then going to sleep in this dense forest, is really a very interesting thing. Of course, it also makes people feel a little scary. After all, this is a tropical rain forest.
Although this place is only one kilometer away from the Pyramid of the Sun. Not too far at all. During the day, no large animals come to this place.
But at night, it's different. Many large animals are active at night. Large carnivores like the jaguar only come out of hidden places for food at night. During the day, they just sleep in their dens. And only at night, they will come out of the nest.
Zhao Zhongyao is now staying in the UFO with his family. They just had dinner. Thinking of taking action at night, the family wanted to take a nap.
But just when they wanted to take a nap, they suddenly heard the roar of a large carnivore. As soon as he heard this voice, Zhao Zhongyao immediately felt that a large carnivore had come here from a distance.
To say that Zhao Zhongyao and his family stay in the UFO car, it is very safe. There is no need to worry about what animals can get into the UFO car.
But when a large carnivore approaches, Zhao Zhongyao's family is still alert. Feifei also heard the huge roar.
Qu Yuqian sat with her daughter. When they heard this sound, they were also a little scared, and quickly looked out from the porthole of the UFO car!
"It's okay, it may be a jaguar. However, it can't pose a threat to us no matter what. Our family is in a flying saucer car. It is absolutely safe."
Zhao Zhongyao was a little scared seeing his wife and daughter, so he came to comfort them. Tell them not to worry. They are protected by flying saucer cars, no matter what kind of large animals, there is no way to take them.
Feifei is a little man. Although he is a little scared, he still pretends to be bold. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao now and said, "Dad, can we take a look at what this jaguar looks like. We turn on the headlights on the outside of the UFO car so that we can see the surroundings of the UFO car. "
"Well, since there is nothing wrong now, let's see how wild animals live at night!" Zhao Zhongyao said, turning on the headlights outside the UFO car.
The power of the headlights outside the UFO car is also great. When this headlight is turned on, it is very bright within tens of meters around the UFO car. Not only can we see some large animals, but also some small animals.
Zhao Zhongyao and his family are now watching the movement outside through the porthole of the UFO car. Nothing was seen at first. But after a while, a sound of large animals walking came from a distance. It seems that a large animal came from a distance.
Zhao Zhongyao can speculate that it must be the jaguar that roared just now. So, let everyone calm down and see if it's a jaguar coming here for food.
Sure enough, in a short while, a jaguar came from the depths of the dense forest. It seems to have seen the big ‘monster’ of UFO cars. So he walked carefully towards the UFO car.
The jaguar is also called the jaguar, the all-around champion in the cat family. These two terms actually refer to a kind of animal. From this name, you can know that the jaguar has both the power of a tiger and the agility of a leopard.
The jaguar is neither a tiger nor a leopard, but it can also be said that it is both a tiger and a leopard. It looks like a leopard, but it is much larger than a leopard. It is the largest cat in the Americas. It usually lives in tropical rainforests and can prey on crocodiles and other animals. It is very capable, but because of its small size, it is generally afraid to compete with brown bears. The big beasts clashed.
The jaguar combines all the advantages of cats. It is a veritable all-around champion in the cat family. It has the power of a tiger and a lion, and the agility of a leopard and a cat. In particular, its bite force and canine teeth are the strongest in the cat family. The killing efficiency is the highest, and it likes to directly penetrate the skull of the prey.
The jaguar is more ferocious than the liger, and dared to rush into the river to kill the South American crocodiles, and fighting in the river is not the strength of the land beast. Widely distributed throughout North and South America. The northernmost is distributed in Canada, and the southernmost is in southern Argentina.
It is smaller than a tiger and larger than a leopard. It is a different genus from the puma. It belongs to the genus Feline Panthera. It is the largest cat in the Americas and the most ferocious animal. Although it is called "tiger", it doesn't actually have a tiger pattern at all. Its pattern is like a leopard and can climb trees, so it is more appropriate to call it a jaguar. Because the entire America does not produce tigers and people have never seen a real tiger, they call it "tiger".
But it is different from the leopard. For example, its mouth is thicker than the leopard, its body and limbs are thicker than the leopard, and the tail is significantly shorter than that of the leopard, and the tail becomes more tapered. Although the body has black spots like the leopard, the black spots are larger, and there are many black spots in the middle of the ring. The living environment of the jaguar is dominated by tropical dense forests, and can also live in treeless grasslands, shrubs, semi-deserts and rocky mountains.
Very good at climbing, often likes resting and living in trees, and also good at swimming. It can chase turtles, soft-shelled turtles, crocodiles and anacondas in the water. It is not a problem to fish. It preys on deer, wild boars and smaller animals on land.
Even the monkeys and birds on the tree can hardly escape its huge mouth. When hungry, they will rush into the village to eat cattle, horses, pigs, sheep and other domestic animals. They are the most vicious enemies of American animal husbandry. The jaguar is a valuable fur animal. Due to the prevalence of poaching, it is now a world-class endangered animal and listed as a protected animal.
The jaguar is also called the "tiger" of the jaguar. Their ancestors lived on the Eurasian continent in ancient times, and perhaps came to the American continent through the Bering Strait millions of years ago. They continued to evolve to adapt to life in the "new" world, and eventually formed what they are today, and successfully multiplied and survived.
Zhao Zhongyao now saw an adult male jaguar approaching their UFO car. This guy, first turned around the UFO car, smelled and smelled on the UFO car's fuselage, and felt that this thing was not their food, then turned around and pointed his at the UFO car, and then in the UFO car. On the wheel, a pee was poured.
This is an animal's act of marking its territory. Especially some large carnivores, they have a strong sense of territory. They are particularly vigilant about things that enter their territory without authorization.
Just like this UFO car, it also made this Jaguar very vigilant. I want to see what this UFO car is.
During the day, the reason why you can't see the jaguar. It's because the jaguar basically sleeps during the day. Only at night will come out. This is the common nature of large food animals.
Because during the day, for herbivores, their eyesight is very sharp. The sense of smell is also exceptionally sensitive. Therefore, it is more difficult for some large carnivores to hunt successfully during the day.
