Chapter Twenty-Three: The Age of Our Decline
More than 200 years have passed, and the Great Flood has passed for generations.
The people of the Babylonian tribe, because they wore animal skins and clothes, no longer needed their natural vigorous hair to keep warm, their vigorous black body hair gradually decreased, the thin outer carapace disappeared, and the body began to become erect, gradually revealing snow-white skin.
They began to move from hairy apes to sparsely haired subhumans, and in size, they became closer to the rugged, strong, and muscular Western races.
They once had a glorious civilized tribe and established the era of the city-state, but now they have not recovered, and they are still a rudimentary farming tribe, and they are not even able to rebuild the city-state.
Their glory is based on the great heroic king, Gilgamesh.
That great hero king has the strongest power in the world, and he single-handedly suppressed countless giant beast species in the world, making their Sumerian race the top of the food chain!
- But without the King of Heroes, they will have nothing.
They could not develop the Bronze and Iron Ages, and how could they fight against the tall giants again with simple stone spears and clubs?
The only holy sword of civilization, the metal weapon, the sword of Damocles, has been permanently buried in the great flood of destruction with the hero King Gilgamesh, and has sunk into the endless deep sea.
Even now, they don't even have the ability to rebuild the walls.
The city of Uruk was built by Gilgamesh alone, and it took him only a month to move it around the mountains with huge rocks.
But for ordinary people, the workload of building a giant city is already comparable to the difficulty of building pyramids in ancient Egypt, which takes more than ten years.
At this moment.
Medea, daughter of the leader of the tribe of Babylon, was sighing:
"Sumer is really rotten, it was an epic age that belonged to one man, the great hero King Gilgamesh, no wonder the people of that time praised him, wrote epics for him, recorded his glory. ”
A vast epic, a glorious civilization.
Merchants, shops, Colosseum, slavery.
The exquisite palace of the king of Uruk, the great heroic king who sat on the throne, his eyes were deep, his eyes were deep, and he held the sword of Damocles in his hand, looking down on all beings.
"Our time is declining, declining, extinct, and if it weren't for the loss of the God-given sword of civilization, even if we didn't have the power of the blood of strength, we wouldn't have had such a hard time. ”
"God, are you going to destroy our Babylonian tribe?"
"Civilization is the force that protects our wisdom..... I, Medea, want to know the way forward for our civilization!
Medea has a calm face, she is the bravest and wisest person in the tribe, her strength is not as good as that of men, but her killing skills allow her to overcome and surpass most of the warriors in the tribe.
She looked at the hunting team men in animal skins next to her, and returned to reality, "How is this area being explored?"
Surrounded by a mud swamp, rotting thickly, one of the warriors replied, "This is a vast muddy swamp, which should be the muddy terrain formed by the accumulation of puddles after the great flood, and it is full of species and many delicious fruits." ”
Here, it is a fertile swamp paved out by Xu Paper with chicken feces and cow dung, and the natural plants are more vigorous.
"A great flood?"
Medea took a deep breath and looked at the black mire of the vast swamp in front of her.
It's hard to imagine the catastrophe more than 200 years ago, the great flood that engulfed the entire world.
God has unimaginable power to destroy our entire world.
"Then there is plenty of food here, and it will be the next gathering point for our tribe...."Her eyes circled for a week, and suddenly she realized that something was wrong, "Wait, Galket, what about Bolognagas?"
Looking around, they also found that two people had disappeared.
This is something that has never happened before.
The savage species in this land do not have much wisdom, and they will not sneak attack the weak humans, because the people armed with rough stone spears and stone axes cannot break through the scale armor of the giant beasts at all, and can only let the giant beasts slaughter and use them as food.
"Something is wrong, this seemingly quiet and peaceful swamp mud contains strange creatures that we don't know about. Medea's face changed, "The huge size of the giant beast cannot set foot in the swamp, it will only sink here, there is no trace of the giant beast infested, only small swamp creatures may be secretly attacking us." ”
"Let's go!"
Medea immediately decided to leave with more than twenty people.
But at this moment, a disgusting and curious gray-black tentacle monster suddenly appeared in the swamp mud, its tentacles were covered with gray seaweed, and its tentacles surrounded the huge scarlet eyeballs and were bloodshot.
This is an extremely disproportionate body.
A large eyeball covered with bloodshot actually occupies two-thirds of the body.
"It's beautiful. ”
"In this world, how can there be such a good-looking girl!"
There were a few strong men in animal skins, who suddenly looked at the evil bloodshot eyeballs of the evil eye creatures, and couldn't help but walk over feverishly, as if they had seen a peerless beauty, and no one was so excited that they couldn't pull it.
"What are you doing!?"
"Don't go over!"
The surrounding Babylonian tribesmen couldn't help but panic.
Such a strange and bizarre picture has subverted their cognition.
Medea, as the smartest person of the Babylonian tribe, instantly sensed something, "What terrible creatures live in this mud land? Those strange evil giant eyeballs can actually charm the prey to take the initiative to pass, and the disappeared Garcay, Bologniagas, I am afraid that they will throw themselves into the net and die!"
"Run!"
She made a quick decision, led everyone, and immediately abandoned the few people who were seduced and walked slowly past, and quickly escaped.
But at this moment, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes became hot.
"What a wonderful creature this is.... They are weaker than us humans, with weak soft tentacles and stupid huge eyeballs, but they can have terrifying and incredible powers, and can destroy creatures that are more powerful than themselves. ”
"Aren't we just as weak, why, only they, have a unique power...."Medea, whose eyes were fiery, seemed to have a nameless torch burning in her eyes, and a terrible thought awakened in her mind:
I'm going to take its power and revitalize the tribe!!
"Kill it, and we'll run away!" Medea suddenly shouted.
"What?"
The warriors of the tribe were amazed.
She turned back and raised her white stone spear aloft.
The sky shone with a glow and fell on her beautiful and cold face, like the goddess of war in Norse mythology, "Kill it with me, and I will return to the tribe with its corpse!"
