"Professor Zhang means that this ruin contains not only ancient relics but also many artifacts that shouldn't exist in that era."
The netizens became excited and bombarded Professor Zhang with questions.
"Yes! This is simply a trans-temporal base, bringing together items from different eras."
"I've excavated various ruins for many years, and I've never seen an ancient ruin of this caliber."
Professor Zhang, overcome with emotion, was almost dancing with excitement.
As a seasoned veteran professor, he was initially quite resistant to new phenomena like live streaming.
It was only when he accidentally clicked into a live stream room while online shopping and took a casual glance that things changed.
Now, he was extremely grateful that he had clicked in, and he had quickly called several familiar expert professors to join him.
These invited experts were also seasoned professionals. Upon entering the live stream room, they were all stunned, just like Professor Zhang.
"Is that a man-faced pig in the painting? That's a creature from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a xingxing!"
"Oh, the small tree shaped like a pagoda in the flower pot over there looks like... a pagoda pine? This species has been extinct for thousands of years!"
"Compared to the pagoda pine, the flower pot itself is a treasure, with a style even older than the pottery from the Xianrendong site in Xuecheng."
The netizens listened in stunned silence. Many of them were there for the spectacle, with only a rudimentary understanding of cultural relics.
After listening to the experts' explanations, they realized that every seemingly ordinary flower, plant, and tree in this ancient ruin was a treasure.
Even a single plant seed dropped on the ground could be a precious piece of world cultural heritage.
Over at the scene, Dai Xiaomei went to pick up the heavy sword lying on the ground, but she couldn't move it despite all her might.
"Oh my goodness, what is this thing made of?"
Dai Xiaomei gritted her teeth, panting heavily.
Jiang Fan chuckled. This strange sword was too heavy even for him, yet Dai Xiaomei, with her small arms and legs, dared to challenge the limit.
"What do you want this sword for?"
Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Since we're in a treasure trove, might as well do some live streaming! There's so much material here, it would be a shame to waste it."
Jiang Fan thought she had a point, as he also needed the system points generated by live streaming.
However, she didn't need to specifically move such a heavy sword.
He himself would pick out some good items.
Jiang Fan walked around the pile of weapons, selecting various arms and placing them together to form the eighteen traditional weapons.
The buzzing onlookers, also quite observant, all flew over and focused their cameras on these weapons.
The experts in the live stream room were ecstatic to see these blades and spears.
"That bronze sword, with two blood grooves, looks even older than the Ordos straight-hilted dagger-axe bronze short sword!"
"And that bronze hammer, its face is so perfectly rounded. They wouldn't have had this kind of precision machining technology back then."
"Wow, a steel saber, very similar to the Egyptian Khopesh, but it has no handle. A new discovery, a breakthrough in archaeology."
"Any one of these items is a rare treasure."
The experts were thrilled, recounting the provenance of these precious weapons like old friends.
Jiang Fan picked out a large, gleaming saber and took out a bamboo tube from his怀. He placed it on the ground.
The experts in the live stream room began their commentary again.
"The cloud pattern on this saber is perfectly integrated with the hilt, utilizing architectural mortise and tenon techniques!"
"I've never seen such a weapon before. Ancient ruins indeed hide dragons and crouching tigers."
"It's definitely the crystallization of ancient ingenuity. This craftsmanship has been lost for a long time."
"The sharpness of the blade must be unimaginable."
Jiang Fan said casually.
"Everyone, thank you for waiting. Let's see the power of ancient weapons."
"For safety, we'll start by testing it on this bamboo tube."
With that, Jiang Fan swung the saber down towards the bamboo tube. The saber moved with a fierce wind, and it seemed like it would have no problem shattering the small bamboo tube.
Just as the saber was about to strike the bamboo tube, disaster struck. The hilt snapped with a crack.
Whoosh!
Half of the saber flew out of his hand, grazed Yao's face, and embedded itself deeply into the stone wall.
Everyone, both in the live stream room and present, was stunned.
Jiang Fan sighed and casually tossed the hilt of the broken saber aside like trash.
"Uh, excuse me, everyone, as you can see, the sword is broken."
Dai Xiaomei, unfazed, came over and patted Jiang Fan's shoulder.
"Don't feel guilty. These things are thousands of years old, so it's normal for them not to last."
"It's truly very sharp that this sword could embed itself in the stone wall."
Dai Xiaomei continued her live stream with a cheerful demeanor, while the live stream room fell into silence.
After a long pause, a flood of super bullet comments suddenly lit up the screen, bombarding it.
"Ahhhhhh! What is the live streaming platform doing? They haven't taken any protective measures!"
"Are those flying drones idiots? Send a message quickly and tell them not to touch these treasures anymore!"
"It's over, the nation's treasures are going to be ruined here."
"Where is the official customer service hotline? I want to complain!"
The few old experts were in tears, and the super bullet comments made the netizens in the live stream room dizzy.
Over there, Dai Xiaomei had moved to another spot and picked up a potted plant.
"Wait, don't touch it!"
The experts in the live stream room had despaired of this group of people. They were extremely nervous, their eyes trembling.
They could see that this plant, like the fruits and bread, was only barely maintaining its complete form; its interior had long since rotted away.
A single touch could turn it into dust.
"Wait, don't break it, I'll hold the plant!"
Jiang Fan walked over and, with steady hands, picked up the plant, facing the arrow.
Given Dai Xiaomei's clumsiness, he had already seen green powder disintegrating from the plant's leaves.
It was likely that the plant would turn to dust before any commentary could even be made.
The experts were slightly relieved to see Jiang Fan's steady hands.
"Oh! Finally, someone with an awareness of artifact preservation."
"This is the precious Golden Parrot Orchid. Legend has it that its leaves change into dozens of different colors depending on the seasons and the time of day and climate."
"It's a pity this pot of Golden Parrot Orchid has already rotted."
"However, it's fine. As long as we can extract its genes, we can definitely revive this extinct plant..."
Before he could finish, the experts saw Yao lean closer to the Golden Parrot Orchid.
The wolf child, raised in the wild, was deeply curious about all unfamiliar plants and animals.
Perhaps due to Yao's overly large movements, the gust of wind stirred the leaves of the Golden Parrot Orchid, and some powder fell off.
It landed precisely on Yao's nose.
If it were anyone else, it would have been nothing, but a wolf child's sense of smell is very keen.
The leaves of the Golden Parrot Orchid also had a pungent, spicy scent.
Instantly, Yao's nose twitched, and he couldn't hold it back any longer!
"Achoo!"
