Chapter 1216: Labyrinth Treasure (16)
Then I saw the settlements on the shore, and a little closer, I could see the inhabitants inside, mainly the minotaurs, and a little less orcs of other races.
This is, the east coast of the Minotaur Lands!
There is also a large river that flows into the sea near the settlement!
Could it be the Thunder River east of Thunder City?
I was a little inexplicably excited.
After a few more years, my conjecture was confirmed!
This is where the Thunder River flows into the sea!
On the edge of the cliff not far from the mouth of the sea, I even saw Gritz and his twin brothers Shiwa and Singh on patrol, as well as the students who were learning marksmanship with Griez!
Of course, they weren't the only ones on patrol.
I immediately understood that the honeycomb-shaped cave hall was actually underground near the mouth of the Thunder River!
"Oh...... I see. Leo wasn't so excited, and said lightly, "Eh, why are you so excited?" ”
"Nothing." I tried to suppress my throbbing emotions.
After all, I can't emerge out of mid-air to greet them.
It seems that they are still worried about the task of finding the cult god believers, although the neighborhood looks quite lively, there is also a tense atmosphere, and the altar in the center of the market town is still guarded by priests, presumably people's lives are not particularly easy.
The only advantage of this is that it enhances the mobilization ability of the orc race, and it also improves the number and quality of people's prayers.
"I suspect they're not looking for cultists at all," I said, "but simply to increase the yield of the power of faith." ”
"It can only be said that there are both," said Leo, "and the more senior you do, the more you have to take into account the effect of killing multiple birds with one stone, and make a decision purely for the sake of one thing, unless the matter is of considerable importance." Let's go, now is not the time to catch up. ”
"I don't have much to tell them." I said to myself, "I hope they understand, or maybe I'll make them understand what they're doing......"
With that, we dived back underground, and soon found the honeycomb-shaped cavern.
"Look," I said, "to become a mystery, the original historical truth, must be here." ”
"Hehe, that's a bit of the protagonist's confidence," Leo said, "you come first." ”
The teleportation array on the six pillars had been destroyed, and in the cave hall, only the burning torches and murals remained, as well as the six-pointed star on the ground.
"There's nothing behind the mural, and the torches aren't any mechanism, are they deeper underground?" I say.
"Let's take a look." Leo urged me.
Knowing the location of the honeycomb-shaped chamber, I have a prediction of the surrounding stratigraphic structure - the rocks and soil on the seashore are half and half respectively, and some alkali-tolerant crops can be grown, but the yield is not very high, and I do have some drought-tolerant, alkali-tolerant and acid-resistant plant seeds, but there is no need to sow them now, after all, the fishermen on the seaside rely on the sea to eat the sea, and their lives are not as difficult as in the wasteland plane.
Going deep into the ground, the rock layer gradually became solid, and the texture and composition were basically the same as the floating island on the top of the labyrinth, and as for the specific floating island that rose from that place, there was no need to explore it for the time being.
I searched underground for a long time, but I still found nothing, and after going deep for dozens of kilometers, I could already see the magma flow, but there were no more caves.
"If you think about it, people at that time didn't have a stealth method like retreat, so they shouldn't have been able to open a secret room so deep underground," Leo said, "Go back......
"Wouldn't you go inland and see if there are any dungeons of the same depth?" I asked.
"There's no need for that." Leo said, "Go back and look for clues, or it will self-destruct and be completely out of play." ”
"Self-destruct? If that place were to self-destruct, it would cause the ground to shake, right? "I'm a little worried.
"Rest assured, such a small space, even if it collapses, the earthquake transmission to the ground will be weakened, and it will end without anyone feeling it." Leo said.
Back in the secret room of the honeycomb cave hall, I was worried again.
"Guess the riddle, guess the riddle, guess the riddle every time......," I complained, "why don't you rub all these murals and take them back to study?" ”
"I've written it down, there's no need," Leo said, "but history, for future generations, is a riddle, and there is no way to verify what the riddle is, even if I show you the history of China, it is just a relatively reliable guess by later generations, the real history, everyone who has seen it has died, even if it leaves a record, there is no way to guarantee completeness and objectivity." ”
"So what to do?" I asked, "Since you've scanned and recorded all the murals, why don't you copy the entire chamber and reconstruct it in the soul space?" ”
"You've done me a great job," said Leo, "but I've got some ideas. "Let's go
"Say it." I was shaken.
"Back to the beginning." Leo said.
I was stunned for a moment and looked at the corridor that had come in.
"How sure are you?" I walked over.
"Fifty percent." Leo said.
In the small room at the end of the entrance to the beehive cavern, I put away the magic light beads, and the surroundings were completely darkened, except for the light of the torches at the end of the corridor.
I'm ready to start the teleportation back to the island.
It stands to reason that at this time, the self-destruct program will also be activated.
At the same time, the torches were extinguished.
"Looks like you've put all the treasures away, good." A voice rang out, coming from every corner of the room.
A phantage of a minotaur appeared diagonally above me.
A middle-aged minotaur who was more than half a head taller than me, with hair scattered over his shoulders.
His appearance is even a bit of a shadow of his grandfather and father, and there are also some of his own people I have seen, as if it is a combination of the faces of many minotaurs.
His nostrils are wearing nose rings, two earrings on each ear, yellow, white, black, brown graffiti on his eyes and forehead, and many scars on his two horns, but they are generally intact, and there are two circles of unknown metal filaments on the left corner near the scalp, I don't know if they are decorations or something.
He wore a loose linen robe covered with ornaments, like an old shaman who was old and frail but full of prestige, but his body looked like he was in the prime of life.
A name jumps straight into mind.
"Minotaur!" I couldn't help but read it out.
"No matter how you say that I am also your ancestor, is there such an impolite descendant as you?" The phantom middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied.
I hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really you, the great ancestor of Minotaurs!" ”
The Minotaur Phantom's face softened slightly.
If I'm not mistaken, this is just an illusion, after all, his true body has been killed, and as a character targeted by the gods, it is unlikely that his soul will survive again.
However, his expression reacted like the real thing.
"What does the Kalmdo steppe look like now?" The apparition of the Minotaur continued to ask me.
"Your great empire has died out after your death, and then, the lion and tiger have become the royal family that rules all races, and we minotaurs, like other races, are just ordinary orc members," I introduced in as general language as possible, "orcs, elves, and humans confronted each other, failed to destroy each other, and will not be destroyed, and just continue to exist......"
"Lions and Tigers?" A hint of disdain flashed across Minotaur's phantom face, "Are they like those beasts, and still be kings?" ”
The beast lion tiger on the grassland was originally the king at the top of the food chain, but after becoming an intelligent creature, the strength and weakness of the orc race did not completely follow the rules of the division of forces of the beast, but in fact, it did not change much.
I knew the crux of the matter, and said directly: "The lion and tiger tribes have the natural ability to not be damaged after madness, and the warriors of other races, after using madness, will lose their anger energy and become a wasted person, so the lion and tiger tribes have played their most powerful combat power in the war against the invasion of humans and elves, and are revered as kings." ”
Hearing this, the phantom of Minotaur was furious: "You really did this, this damn evil goddess!" ”
I was a little surprised, the word "female evil god" is very likely to mean that the mother earth goddess is extremely obedient.
"That, the female evil god you are talking about, is it, the mother earth goddess?" I asked.
"Do you still believe in her?" The phantom asked rhetorically.
"Well, I ...... for some special reason," I paused.
"Well, you're expelled, aren't you?" The Phantom was not surprised, "It's not surprising, that guy is not the Mother Earth Goddess at all, the real Mother Goddess, was killed by their conspiracy!" ”
I was stunned.
"Oh, this is, the big revelation!" Leo also became excited.
Mother Earth, dead?
Seeing that I looked sluggish, the phantom explained: "Yes, the real mother goddess was killed by the evil god of the female evil god and the evil god of the human race, but there are not many mortals who know this, and I was attacked by them before I could tell the clansmen!" ”
His face was a little indignant: "That female evil god has an ulterior affair with the human god of the sky, and the god of the sky joined forces with the god of light, sneaked up on the mother earth god, and then replaced the god of the mother earth, that is to say, the people on the grassland believe in the evil god!" ”
