74. Jidu people!

……

In the middle of the symbols or texts is the description of the picture: a tall flat-topped pyramid with strange costumes, seemingly some sacrifices. They stood together, in a circle, holding hands. Below the pyramid, there are rows of people. In the front row, there are people with some kind of weapon, and behind them are ordinary people, who are not holding any weapons.

Behind the crowd, there are some huge stone sculptures looming, and there are mountains in the distance.

"Ahh This is ......" Xiao Wu's hand trembled slightly.

Xiao Wu didn't look carefully at the characters on the screen, in fact, even if he saw her, he didn't know what it was......

However, she recognized the pyramids. The flat-topped pyramid, that's what she'd seen in the cavern underground, in the creature's body.

"Huh? How! Could it be you...... Have you seen this slate too? The elder asked, looking at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

Joyna also turned her head and glanced at Xiao Wu suspiciously—she remembered that Iwato and Xiao Wu had told her about the place full of mysteries.

Does it have something to do with that place?

"Ah, no, no, the pyramid...... Something quirky. Xiao Wu was lost in thought, but did not tell the truth.

"Well, this kind of pyramid-shaped structure, which was indeed very common in those ancient civilizations, is the strongest building structure that almost humans can think of - a large base, a small top, and a very stable structure."

"These people on the screen, what are they doing?" Joyna wasn't even sure if it was humans or some other creature.

"These people, supposedly the ancestors of our people, have left behind these legacies – these monuments. Our descendants have been guarding the ruins...... Our people are the gatekeepers of these civilizations. Because, in our legends, these ancestors are long gone, but they will return. ”

"What?"

"You're the Guardians? So, how many thousand years have you inherited? Long Ping's surprise appeared on his face.

"Probably much more than a few thousand years......," the elder smiled indifferently.

"I'll tell you the truth, I've lived for nearly 500 years."

"Oh my God!" The crowd exclaimed.

"And I, I'm just here on this earth, a little sacrifice. There is even more terror among our people - our 7 Great Elders! Every one of them is much older than me......"

The elder in front of him, who had the face and figure of a girl, said slowly.

How incredible! It was a huge contrast that her age and body were so incompatible—she had lived so long, but there were still strong men in their people who were older than her.

Everyone's eyes were on her again.

"You still have a Great Elder? So, are they here too? ”

"Hehe—I can tell you that our people have always been few, but they are all people of pure blood. And we have been living underground, and the world cannot perceive our existence. ”

"Then why did you choose to live a life of seclusion?"

“…… Escapism? That was probably a long time ago...... Until then, there were some people within us who were not exempt from living on the earth...... Especially a few hundred years ago, the world began to be in turmoil of destruction, and we can no longer escape from it......"

"There's another reason...... A long time ago, we chose to live a life of seclusion, also because the world could not tolerate us. ”

The elder smiled wryly and shook his head and stopped talking, as if saying such a thing had been bothering her for a long time.

Silent.

Everyone looked at her with bated breath.

This strange, girl-looking elder is a miracle if what he says is true.

Their people, living outside of this human society? So, then can they be considered human!?

Different civilizations living on the same planet?

There are too many questions in the minds of Joyna and others.

"Then why did you come to this earth?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Because of the prophecy...... This prophecy really happened, it happened hundreds of years ago, you two, you should know it very well, right? ”

The elder turned his head to look at Joyna and Long Ping, the look in his eyes silent.

"You mean, the catastrophe hundreds of years ago?"

"Exactly. It was the end of life, annihilating nearly 99% of life on the planet...... Our legends, in fact, have long predicted the occurrence of this moment......"

"W-Oh my God!"

There was another silence, and the three of them had to believe what the elder said in the face of the facts.

"What about you...... I don't know what to say......" Xiao Wu suddenly spoke, but he stopped talking.

"I know your doubts, yes, the name of our clan is Jidu people."

The elder stared at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's eyes widened and he looked at her in fear.

At the next moment, neither of the two spoke.

A truth has emerged.

Astound! Shocking!

Everyone stood there like chickens.

This is a sensational thing, Joyna and Xiao Wu had heard the rock man say that Atlantis and Jidu were civilized before, but they didn't expect it......

They really met one of the civilized people here.

After a while, Xiao Wu looked at the elder and said slowly: "I know that some things are unbelievable, but I still have to ask, I want to find out - your clan, before, have you ever been on the ground?" ”

"It's too simple. I can answer you right away, but, after asking this question, you have to answer my question as well, agree? ”

The elder still said politely.

"I don't know, maybe ......"

Xiao Wu knew what she wanted to ask.

Her voice was so small that she couldn't even hear herself.

She looked at Joyna and Long Ping, who were also at a loss.

She couldn't decide whether to tell her about "that man", and she couldn't judge whether it was appropriate for him. She couldn't ask for his opinion, she didn't know how he would react when he found out.

Moreover, at this time, they could not contact him.

"Is that so...... So, it's okay, you'll tell me at your convenience, maybe, right? ”

The elder shook his head slightly, sighed, and began to ponder.

"Well, I can still answer your question first." The elder's hundreds of years of wisdom played a role at this moment, and she felt a familiar feeling in Xiao Wu, and she couldn't be wrong.

"Our people, over the ages, have many of them who have come to the earth. And they are no different from normal people, and they can also intermarry with the humans on this earth and give birth to offspring. But, you know, after combining with ordinary people, this will dilute their blood and make their offspring impure! ”

"So, the offspring...... Are they still living on this earth? I mean...... Do they have any descendants left in the world? Xiao Wu asked again.

"Of course, we're not monsters......"

It's obviously a monster, and they thought to themselves at the same time.

Hearing her ask, the elder smiled, this expression was completely unique to a pure girl.

"As I said before, our people have played many roles in the history of human civilization, and they have also manipulated the direction of historical evolution!"

"Our organization on this ground was once very powerful, so you don't have to doubt what I'm saying."

The elder looked at the other people's expressions.
