747. The first peak of the solar system
The glowing stone at the top of the cave emitted a faint glow, dimmer than a watt of light bulb, but for the Martians, the dry light was enough to see things clearly, and their eyes had adapted to the darkness.
The stone carefully clung to a large hole in the mushroom trunk and made a rough bucket that dumped a part of the waterway where the roots of the small mushroom tree were. The sand seemed to be hungry and thirsty, and soon sucked all the water under the surface.
He then stretched out his palm, which had four fingers, and gently placed it on the umbrella cover of the small mushroom tree.
The other Martians, including the Elder, stared at the thin palm. But a few minutes passed, nothing changed, and the little mushroom tree was still only calf high.
"What, this is the ability given by the great God, it's obviously funny."
"Cut, the lie can't go on, boy, you're overplaying."
"Arrest him, put him to death! How dare you blaspheme the majesty of God. ”
Disappointment flashed in the priest's eyes, and then he said to the guards, "Grab the stones and the pillars, wait for the light of the stones on the cave to go out once, and then put them to death when they light up again." ”
"No, wait, I'm learning, this is the first time I've used this ability, and I'm not very proficient yet." Stone looked at the approaching guards and shouted loudly.
The priest raised his palms and told the guards to pause for a moment to give the stone a moment.
The pillar cried and whispered in the stone's ear: "Stone, wait a minute, this is not the time to joke, the lives of both of us are in the palm of your hand." ”
The stone nodded vigorously, his face was very serious, his face tensed, and then he used all the natural power in his body. This time he didn't release the pigeons, and the green light on his palms turned the canopy of the little mushroom tree green.
The green light didn't last long before it all penetrated into the canopy, and then it changed dramatically. The small mushroom tree grows taller at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in a few breaths it grows taller than a stone.
At this time, the stone poured all the water in the bucket into the roots of the small mushroom tree. After being moistened with water, it continued to grow until it became more than 20 meters tall like other mushroom trees, with an umbrella canopy as big as a basketball court.
Even the smell of food in the air is a sign of maturity.
"Ah, this is a miracle!"
"The stone has really seen the great God, and this power is not fake."
"It turns out that we were mistaken, and the stone is telling the truth. Forgive our ignorance, great God. ”
The Martians who were watching from the sidelines knelt on the ground, and only the stones and sacrifices were still standing, standing out as conspicuous as the chickens.
The old man's face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he said loudly, "Good, good! Now our tribe is saved. The great gods have not forsaken us, the tribes will never be short of food again, and I declare that the stone is the next sacrifice! ”
The Martians cheered loudly, thundering, deafening, and a roar of excitement swept through the huge cavern.
However, there are also two unlucky people, that is, the two guards who teased the stone before, kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness: "We have no eyes and have not recognized the divine envoy, please forgive us for our sins." ”
The sacrificial old man did not say anything, and let the stone handle this matter alone.
The stone hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then you will be punished for three cycles of starvation, that is, the stones on the cave will be extinguished three times." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" The two guards narrowly escaped death and said with tears of gratitude.
There was also a smile on the old face of the sacrificer. If you want to manage a tribe, you can't be fierce, and a tribe of a few thousand people is very fragile and can't withstand too many attrition.
Feeling as if he were in a dream, the stone took up residence in the luxurious house of the sacrifice, took a beautiful bath, and ate a full meal, and his belly was stretched high. There is also a sacrificial old man who teaches him how to manage the tribe and adjudicate things.
He knew that it all began when he entered the kingdom of God and met the great God.
……
Outside the original No. 1 spaceship, the sandstorm was still raging, but it was much better than the previous scene of obscuring the sky and the sun, and the dust was much thinner, and I could barely see what was within twenty or thirty meters. It was in this environment that Jiang Yiming began to search for the location of the Martians.
He followed the breath of the little force of nature in the distance, and flew away at high speed, the Martian who had transformed the stone before, just for this moment.
"Hey, that Martian is using his abilities, and the breath of the force of nature is even more obvious, and it's almost there."
Jiang Yiming stopped, looked at the towering mountain in front of him, and recognized that this was Mars, and the highest peak in the solar system: Mount Olympus.
Mount Olympus is by far the largest volcano in the solar system, a parasitic volcanic cone, with a gentle slope shaped like a giant shield. The base of the volcano is 600 kilometers in diameter, and the bottom area is larger than the size of the United Kingdom.
The height is more than 27 kilometers, with an average height of 22 kilometers, which is three times the height of Mount Everest on Earth. The crater reaches a diameter of 80 kilometers and a depth of about 3 kilometers, which is more than enough to accommodate two Londoners.
Mount Olympus is a giant volcano formed by massive eruptions and lava stacks, and the low gravitational pull on Mars and very weak surface geological activity contributed to the formation of this huge volcano.
The volcano is almost always surrounded by 4 kilometers of cliffs, and volcanic activity on Mars stopped about 2 million years ago, but scientists do not rule out the possibility that Olympus will "awaken" again in the future.
"I didn't expect that the Martians were actually hiding in Mount Olympus. The mountain is so high that it is not afraid of sandstorms at all, it will not be eroded, and the location is very good. ”
Jiang Yiming was completely sure that the point where the power of nature was emitted was somewhere under his feet, but he didn't know how deep it was.
After circling for a long time, and no suspicious entrance was found, everything seemed so natural. But he knew that there must be an entrance, otherwise how did the Martians enter Mount Olympus?
Sandstorm or something, it's really troublesome, polish all the traces, how can you get in, Jiang Yiming thought secretly in his heart, and didn't come up with any way.
The Green Jiao is very powerful and is able to shatter the stones that have cooled down from the volcanic lava. But there's no such thing as a good way out of this massive volcano, after all, it's too big and too thick.
After tossing for two hours, Jiang Yiming still didn't find the entrance, so he had to give up. comforted in his heart and said: Forget it, I have seen the Martians in the dream, and I have really seen aliens, so it doesn't matter if I go to the lair or not. Let them live quietly in the mountains.
Mars is really alien compared to Earth, and aliens live up to their name. (To be continued.) )
