After the other party finished speaking, there was no more silence.

The virtual world in front of Chen Feng's eyes changed again, turning into a familiar and unfamiliar environment for him.

In the deep darkness of the universe, blue planets are slowly revolving around the sun in space.

This is exactly the earth.

The field of view quickly closes.

After blinking, the picture in front of Chen Feng's eyes changed to a primeval forest.

In the forest, a group of ancient apes are building wooden houses around a giant tree.

It's a very large population, at least three hundred.

It seems that the people have just migrated here from a distant land, and need to build a new home as soon as possible.

The scene looks busy and lively.

Australopithecus was dragging wood back from a distance, and Australopithecus was sitting cross-legged on the ground, grinding the sticks in their hands one by one, trying to sharpen them.

There are also some female australopithecus apes who are holding their babies in their arms and feeding them.

In addition to these young adults and juveniles, in the middle of the forest flat land occupied by the group, there is also a group of elderly people who are clearly out of step with other ancient apes.

They gather together, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes looking down, and sometimes reluctantly exchanging information with each other in sounds that sound different.

Compared with the busyness of young adults, the elderly seem to be too leisurely and lazy.

This is simply excessive.

But what really distinguishes humans from other animals is not walking upright, nor learning to use tools.

Monkeys also use stones to smash walnuts and pry stones with wooden sticks.

But the fundamental reason why monkeys have always been monkeys, and ancient apes eventually became humans, is that in the process of human progress, human beings gradually realize the value of knowledge, and also begin to pay attention to the experience accumulated by the elderly with a lifetime, no longer simply judging the value of each individual to the group by whether they are physically strong.

In ancient times, when the external environment was harsh, it was not just a matter of luck that they could live longer than other apes.

Older people often excel at a young age, having both physical strengths and a much better mind and reflexes than their peers.

For example, a group of Australopithecus is being pursued by tigers.

The one who ran fast survived.

The one who reacted in time, knew that he had staggered the pursuit route of the tiger, and changed direction to climb the big tree that the tiger could not climb, also survived.

Those who fall in the process of escaping, run to the end and are caught up, are eliminated at a young or young age.

In the era of Australopithecus, whose average lifespan was only 10 years old, every Australopithecus that could live to 20 years old had its own uniqueness.

It takes time for a civilization to enrich knowledge.

The knowledge of the group does not arise in a vacuum, and most of the accumulated knowledge comes from the elderly.

In times when food is sufficient, the life of the elderly is a precious treasure in itself.

The group of elderly people that Chen Feng sees now represent the language, writing, survival philosophy and other important information related to the process of civilization of this ethnic group, which is being enriched at a very fast speed.

Suddenly, one of the old men, whose beard was dry and thin, stood up violently.

He stared up at the sky, his brow furrowed and his hair standing on end.

The sky was blue and white, and the scorching sun was hanging high, and it didn't look unusual.

The tall Australopithecus who was in charge of carrying the wood and directing the other Australopithecus to build a shed walked over quickly, chattering in a slightly nervous and respectful tone for a long time.

The old man ignored him, but continued to observe the sky.

After a long time, the old man finally answered, and said in a chattering voice.

A frightened expression suddenly appeared on the face of the tall Australopithecus, and he immediately shouted and shouted all the way through the clan station.

Many of the australopithecus stopped building sheds and gathered together.

The tall australopithecus made the old ape stand on a jagged boulder.

The old ape spoke to the other members of the group very quickly.

Some of the ancient apes understood, while others didn't quite understand what it meant, until the people around them danced with them for a long time, and finally gradually understood.

Then the group of ancient apes immediately got busy, and each packed up their portable tools and stored food and headed straight to the distant mountains.

As for the half-built shack and station, he did not hesitate to give up.

About three hours later, the Australopithecus tribe reached the mountainside.

This mountain is the highest mountain within a hundred miles of the vicinity, and because of the perennial rain and wind, most of the parts that make up the mountain are rocky.

There is a huge naturally formed stone cave on the mountainside.

But there was a nest of bears living in the cave.

The Australopithecus tribe has known about the existence of the cave and the bear for a long time, but they have always avoided each other.

But this time, the young and middle-aged males of the Australopithecus tribe launched a fierce attack on the bear with stones and sharpened sticks.

This litter of bears has a male and a female, both of which are very large, the male bear stands upright and is nearly three meters tall, and the female bear is more than two meters tall.

There are also three cubs that can catch up with adult apes when they stand upright.

The other side is not a soft persimmon, and it is obviously impossible for this war to end quickly.

When the battle between the two sides lasted for ten minutes, the sky suddenly changed drastically, and suddenly dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared.

At first, the raindrops the size of beans fell drop by drop, but after just a few minutes, the raindrops became extremely dense, snapping on the dirt and rocks, as if a faucet was pouring straight into it.

In the torrential rain, the warriors of the Australopithecus tribe were still charging one after another.

At a distance of nearly 100 meters from the battlefield, under the mountainside, old and weak women and children stood in the torrential rain and looked at the battlefield from afar, all of them looking anxious, and even some children who were not yet adults were eager to try to come forward to help, but were caught by adults.

The battle between the two sides lasted almost an hour.

After losing a total of nearly thirty young adults, the Australopithecus tribe finally killed the male and female bears.

The two adult giant bears fell to the ground prostrately, scarred all over their bodies, especially their facial features.

One of the three cubs also lost their breath, and the other two cubs seemed to be breathing briefly, but they were also pierced with several sharp wooden spears in their mouths, and they thought they were dying.

There were more young and strong apes lying on the mountainside, all of them with mutilated limbs, and they were described as miserable.

Under the washing of the rain, the red blood flowed down the mountain, turning into a red blood stream, and I don't know if it was the blood of the ancient ape or the blood of the bear.

The old, weak, women, children, monks, and young men who could move began to step on the bloody water and go to the cave step by step.

Along the way, the Australopithecus wiped their tears and picked up broken wooden spears that had fallen from the ground, as well as stone knives that had been broken in two.

There were also some people who struggled to hold on to the bodies of their fallen comrades and tried to drag them into the cave, but were stopped by other ancient apes with slaps.

The heavy rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the human eye can see less than two meters, and there is no sound in the ears, and there seems to be only the sound of heavy rain between heaven and earth.

Chen Feng watched this scene quietly throughout the whole process, not knowing what to say.

He has fantasized countless times about the human ancestors struggling to survive in nature, and has seen countless film and television works depicting them.

But there is no doubt that the picture shown to him by the Fish Star Man is not a hypothesis, but makes Chen Feng's consciousness really return to millions of years ago, witnessing this seemingly small but thrilling history in the long history of mankind.

Chen Feng has not only seen it with his own eyes, but also personally participated in countless cosmic-level wars.

But inexplicably, he experienced a strong sense of tragedy from this primitive, ancient, simple battle of wooden spears, stones and claws.

The Osanders have truly participated in the process of human civilization, and they will not be without purpose.

Therefore, there is no doubt that this group of Australopithecus tribes is the true ancestor of mankind.

There are many tribes of Australopithecus, but only this group has evolved into humans.

The other Australopithecus tribes either went down the wrong path in evolution, or unfortunately perished in some kind of catastrophe.

Great droughts, floods, shifting leylines, hungry wolves......

Every kind of disaster can destroy the germ of human civilization.

What happened next, Chen Feng could probably guess.

This rainstorm will last for a long time.

The earth will turn into water.

The state of the soil and vegetation will be transformed.

The diversity of life on Earth will also change dramatically.

But this group of Australopithecus tribes that reacted in time and successfully climbed to the heights finally persevered, and after millions of years of development, he Chen Feng finally appeared, and Orion Arm humans appeared.

Chen Feng couldn't help but secretly wonder, maybe when tens of millions of years later, when the human race remembered the war between the Morrowind Empire and the Compound Eyed Ones on Earth and in the Milky Way, whether the current human beings were also these wooden spear-wielding apes in the hearts of future generations, and whether the compound eyes were just "fragile" giant bears.

Will future generations also have the vicissitudes of watching their ancestors resolutely charge with spears in the face of disasters millions of years ago?

How will people imagine it in the future?

Chen Feng was thinking about how lucky human beings were.

If the old man's reaction is half a beat slower.

If the tall Australopithecus who was clearly the leader did not trust the old man's judgment.

If the warriors who died generously were a little weak and retreated, they would eventually exhaust all their combat strength and fail to kill the bear.

If any of the above happens, then there will be no ifs for humanity.

Chen Feng watched all the ancient apes staggering into the cave.

He took a deep breath and bent slightly.

In any case, as a warrior of the Galactic Age, he wants to pay his sincere respect to these warriors who saved the fate of human civilization in ancient times.

Maybe they don't even speak, they don't know any language, they don't even know what the so-called reverence means.

Perhaps they just know that when the tribe is in need, even in the face of a giant bear that can slap itself into pulp, they must wave their fragile wooden spears and stand up.

They could never have imagined that future generations would be able to wear armor and destroy the world.

They looked so vulnerable, but the courage they showed in their charge turned the tide just as well.

Then, several Australopithecus climbed out again, tied the carcasses of the five giant bears with rattans, and slowly dragged them into the cave.

Heavy rain has been falling.

I don't know what madness nature is about.

The torrential rain lasted for a month.

During this month, the outside world was flooded with vicissitudes.

On the seventh day, the elderly who were the first to point out the impending disaster walked out of the cave in the heat of 41 degrees Celsius and stepped into the torrential rain.

He had had a high fever for seven days, and he knew he was dying.

Two hours later, he dragged the floating carcasses of two rabbits back to the cave.

Originally plains and mountains, it has become an isolated island in the middle of the ocean.

The earthy mountain bag in the distance has collapsed, and within a few dozen miles of the vicinity, only this rocky mountain is still standing.

The old man put the rabbit at the mouth of the cave and walked further away.

Walking a few dozen meters down the mountain, he fell on his back.

He collapsed in the rain and never got up again, and was eventually swallowed up by the rising water mark and swept away again.

In this month, the ancient apes in the cave ate all the food reserves, the bears, and everything they could find on the mountain.

More and more young adults and old people came out of the caves.

Some of the apes came back, either empty-handed, or carrying something, even the roots of a tree.

Some of the ancient apes did not come back, and they do not know where they fell.

The original number of nearly 300 apes has plummeted to more than 130 in this month, and more than 80 of them are not yet adults.

Chen Feng looked at the sky anxiously.

He also didn't know when the rain would stop.

If this continues, the ancestors of mankind will disappear into the long river of history.
