The Chieftain did bring over the adornment, but allowed only to look, not disassemble:
"The grass rope wrapped around it must not be damaged or removed!"
Feng Yi didn't need to take it apart at all.
His request to look was merely a prelude to the topic he wanted to introduce.
The Chieftain respectfully placed the adornment on the table, then watched Feng Yi warily, to prevent any harm to this specially significant piece.
Feng Yi simply watched quietly for a moment before speaking, "The vertebral bone is well preserved."
This was not one of those long-buried, deformed fossils. This was a vertebra that existed in reality and was kept intact!
The species should be that of the emblematic creature that existed in this rainforest — the Forest Python.
Only, it was much larger.
But what interested Feng Yi the most was the faint traces of energy remaining on this piece of vertebra!
