Chapter Ninety-Nine: Prehistoric Intelligent Species
That amethyst weighs two tons, but fortunately, Zhu Yan has the spell to make the stone fly by itself, and the amethyst itself has a lot of vitality savings. So after some experiments, a flight formation composed of two people www.biquge.info, a bird and a big stone flew towards the hot spring valley by breaking through the wind and clouds.
In the air, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan carefully sensed the vitality aura around them again, and this time they didn't find any evil aura again, and they confirmed that there were no other monsters lurking on the mountain.
They don't know if the appearance of this monster is related to the inverted pentagram, according to common sense analysis, the crystal should be transmitting soul energy, and it is unlikely to teleport objects with a physical shape, so it should be impossible for the inverted pentagram to teleport monsters. However, the evil nature of the inverted pentagram is so similar to the monsters that one has to suspect that they have some kind of connection.
Zhu Yan and Chen Lan recalled the information they had seen about snake-necked monsters before, from the Changbai Mountain Monster, Kanas Lake Monster, Qinghai Lake Monster, and Tongshan Lake Monster in China, to the Lake Ness Monster, Lake Champlain Monster, Okana River Monster, Okanagan Monster, Congo Swamp Monster and so on.
These monsters resemble prehistoric creatures, and most of them resemble reptiles, or transitional species from reptiles to mammals. From the perspective of their habitat, most of them are special terrains left over from prehistory, such as prehistoric glacial lakes, prehistoric volcanic lakes, prehistoric swamps, and so on. This information points to speculation that the world's water monsters may indeed be prehistoric creatures that have survived the devastating destruction of their habitat.
However, what puzzled Zhu Yan and their puzzlement was that the surface environment of the dinosaurs when they went extinct was so harsh, even if the habitat was not destroyed, how could they find enough food to survive the long period of darkness and freezing? Besides, the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain is by no means prehistoric, its formation history is only a few thousand years, if the water monster is indeed a prehistoric surviving creature, how can it exist in the Tianchi?
Some experts have made a bold guess that there is an underground tunnel under the Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain that communicates with the Sea of Japan, and the Changbai Mountain Monster may have migrated from this tunnel.
Not to mention whether there is such a monster in the Sea of Japan, it is said that Tianchi is connected to the Sea of Japan, and there are too many unexplained places. For example, how did such underground tunnels come to be? The altitude of Tianchi is so high, why doesn't the lake drain all the water into the sea through this tunnel?
In Zhu Yan's opinion, if there really is an underground tunnel, then this underground tunnel must be a magma tunnel, left behind after the eruption, which is consistent with the crater under the Tianchi. The place where this underground tunnel is connected must be some unknown area deep in the earth, where there may be environmental conditions that sustain living things for a long time. This reminds them of Verne's "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", maybe the Inner World really exists!
If the above conjecture is true, then the mystery of the water monster may be able to find a reasonable explanation. The prehistoric ruins where the monster is located, whether it's a glacial lake, a volcanic lake, or a swamp, may have prehistoric underground tunnels underneath that lead to the inner world. The prehistoric reptiles entered the Inner World through these tunnels during the catastrophic catastrophe on the surface, and now some of them have emerged from these underground tunnels.
Zhu Yan and they even believe that these prehistoric reptiles have intelligence that is not weaker than that of humans, and that the prehistoric underground outlines that have been discovered are likely to be their masterpieces.
As early as 1946, the British scientist Wilkins asserted in his book "The Mysteries of Ancient South America" that the underground corridors opened up and built by prehistoric intelligent creatures were connected from end to end and had many branches, which could run through Europe, Asia, the United States, and Africa, and then concluded that there was and still is an "underground kingdom" in the interior of the earth. His view is based on the results of investigations in various countries around the world, and although it is more of a hypothesis and inference, it is well-founded and tempting, and there are many people who are willing to believe it.
As early as January 1941, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave archaeologists David Lam and his wife an extremely secret and important mission: to find "Agarta", which refers to the underground world. Because it is said that at that time, Nazi Germany was also looking for underground entrances all over the world, trying to obtain various materials and advanced technology from the underground kingdom, and the United States naturally had to start contact with the underground world.
Legend has it that the underworld has countless caves, tunnels, and underground corridors that twist and turn, and where the secrets of ancient civilizations and endless treasures are buried. In fact, satellite remote sensing images decades later confirmed the existence of this criss-crossing underground corridor. It connects all the continents and leads to the depths of the earth, and its sheer volume of work and advanced excavation technology are breathtaking.
One day in March 1942, shortly after the United States was drawn into World War II, President Roosevelt took time out of his schedule to meet with Mr. and Mrs. David Ram, who had just returned from an archaeological mission in Chiapas, Mexico.
The Rams bring shocking news: they have discovered the blue-and-white skinned Indians who are said to be guarding the underground tunnels of Mexico, aka "Agarta". It turned out that after the Rams received the order, they led an American expedition to the Chiapas jungle in Mexico to find the entrance to the underground corridor.
According to the Rams' recollections, as they traversed the local jungle, they encountered blue-and-white Indians guarding the entrance to the underground promenade and found clues to the secret entrance. But the Indians surrounded the expedition in the dense forest and sternly signaled the expedition to leave immediately. Ram's Indian guide approached them and learned that they were descendants of the Mayans, a branch of the Indian tribe called the Lacantons.
The people of La Canton live in seclusion in the dense forest, guarding the sacred places deep in the jungle for generations, and the entrance to the underground corridor is here, which leads to the far underground, where treasures are hidden. The people of La Canton believed in underground gods, and they obeyed the ancestral precepts and did not allow outsiders to enter their holy sites.
It is worth mentioning that the indigenous Indians of the Americas have always believed that the gods came from the ground, and many of their myths and legends are related to the underground gods. The Maya, for example, believed that the gods were winged serpents, the Quetzalcoatl, who came out of underground tunnels and taught people about survival and astronomy. The Maya are a highly developed branch of the Indian Chinese civilization, and those underground tunnel entrances filled with water are often worshipped by the Mayans as "sacred lakes" and are regularly worshipped.
Judging from the appearance of "Quetzalcoatl", it is very similar to a pterosaur, and may be a type of prehistoric reptile. But it is no less intelligent than humans, because the astronomy and architecture it taught the Mayans were so advanced that they were not at all inferior to modern humans.
In addition, in the late 80s of the 20th century, it was claimed that there were lizard-like monsters in the swamps of Bevi, South Carolina, USA. Multiple witnesses said that the half-human, half-beast "lizardman" was nearly two meters tall, with large eyes, spots all over its body, only three fingers on each hand, and the end of its tail resembling a needle. It walks upright, is extremely powerful, and can easily overturn cars. It can walk like a fly in the water, and it is so cunning that people cannot catch it.
In addition to South America and the United States, Canada, which is also part of the American continent, is also the country with the most rumors of prehistoric monsters, which seems to indicate a possibility: prehistoric monsters prefer to appear in some inaccessible places, and the American continent is precisely the last place where human footprints arrive.
The intelligent conjecture of these prehistoric species is based solely on archaeological discoveries that show that prehistoric species once created a highly developed civilization.
Before World War II, the famous German explorer and writer von Däniken entered the tunnels guarded by the people of La Canton. In the tunnels, he was amazed to see wide, straight passages and glazed walls, many delicate rock openings and gates, smooth roofs and halls of more than 20,000 square meters, and many ventilation shafts with an average length of 1.8 to 3.1 meters and a width of 80 centimeters at certain distances. There are also countless bizarre prehistoric artifacts in the tunnel, including the "Golden Book" mentioned in the ancient legends of many peoples.
The rigor, grandeur and wonder of the tunnels that surpass modern human ingenuity stun even the writer known for his bold imagination is jaw-dropping. Mr. Deniken took several photographs of the tunnel, but declined to give more details, saying only that he believed it had been excavated with high-tech ultra-high-temperature drill bits and directional blasting of electron rays, as well as certain technologies that humans do not yet have.
Coincidentally, one day in 1972, engineers at a French factory discovered a long-defunct nuclear reactor in the Oklo mine in the Gabonese Republic. The mine's mineralization age is determined to be about 2 billion years ago, and the nuclear reactor has been in operation for up to 500,000 years.
500,000 years ago, human beings were still in the Paleolithic Age, and it was impossible to build such a nuclear reactor, so it could only be done by prehistoric civilization, and the development of that prehistoric civilization was not inferior to modern human civilization at all.
Based on the above information, Zhu Yan and the others believed that the monsters of Tianchi might have come out of the underground tunnel, and they might be prehistoric intelligent species. Moreover, according to the analysis of the cultivation situation of these two monsters, they should both have quite high intelligence and belong to the evil race of prehistoric civilization.
It seems that they must make a trip to the bottom of the Heavenly Pond, at least to find the underground tunnel, and try to block it. Otherwise, it's no joke to drill a few more monsters out of there.
