Chapter 69: Prayer

If Guo Sen was asked to choose one of the ten moments that had surprised him immensely, then the "pyramid" in front of him could be selected as one of them.

In his impression, such a thing as a pyramid should not appear in the here and now, but on the earth where he does not know how far away.

But this almost standard corner cone is actually placed in front of you.

The layers of rocks that were stacked upwards decreased in a trapezoidal shape, becoming a sharp square corner at the highest point.

The light of the stars was reflected off by the rocks like giant mirrors.

Guo Sen looked at the surreal building suspiciously, and took a closer look.

He discovered that the pyramid was actually built on a hill surrounded by jungle and was not as tall as he had imagined.

Up close, the so-called layers of rocks are actually more like layers of shale peeling off.

However, the traces of artificiality were still extremely obvious, and he found many places as if they had been peeled and piled up.

This pyramid does not seem to have been made with much labor.

It's not so much a pile of piles as it is a rough carving.

After such an analysis, Guo Sen suddenly felt that it didn't look like a pyramid anymore.

More like an illusion caused by visual deception caused by the subconscious.

This made Guo Sen, who was familiar with the pyramid, mistakenly believe that this pyramid is a pyramid.

But what could this semi-man-made object be made of?

The problem does not seem to be difficult to solve, and Guo Sen soon found some clues at the bottom of this "pyramid".

It was a huge cave carved directly into the hill at the bottom, and it was not a natural cave because it was so large and had quite a few artificial traces - just like the pyramids.

There was a lot of noise in the cavern.

Guo Sen looked into this not dimly lit cave, and instantly found an intelligent creature that made his eyes shine.

When he saw the lizardman, he felt ugly when he died, and when he saw the sheepman, he felt a little frightened.

But as for the appearance of the intelligent creature in front of him, Guo Sen was only puzzled.

Bird?

That's right, in front of him, the head with a black beak and a huge brown pupil in a black-edged eye socket was clearly a bird's head.

A layer of short, fine gray hairs stretches from the head to the whole body, which maintains an upright position. It was supposed to be the place where the wings were, but with sparse feathers, human-like arms grew out of thin air.

At the end of the arm, there are five long, thin, hard fingers covered with scales!

And under the slender legs, the feet with the same five fingers made him a little stunned.

This is completely out of his knowledge of the species "bird".

Should they be called "birdmen"?

It's not swearing, there's really no words to describe this weird creature in front of you.

They are not so much evolved from birds as they are the product of a fusion of birds and human genes.

However, thinking about how much brain capacity can be in the bird's head in his impression, Guo Sen subjectively believes that they may not be too smart.

But the pyramid outside, and the wide cavern, must have been made for them, which shows that these fellows can make strong tools.

Moreover, this tool should basically be determined to be a metal product.

So, smelting......

Wait, that's not right.

Guo Sen counted, there seemed to be nearly 2,000 birdmen gathered here, but he didn't see anything they lived in.

Houses, fires, food, and all kinds of smelting furnaces, and storehouses for weapons and tools......

No, all none.

Some are just densely packed with bird's heads chirping non-stop.

What are they doing?

Guo Sen was a little puzzled, couldn't the caves and pyramids be dug by these guys? Did they just evolve into such low-IQ freaks by accident?

Suddenly, he noticed that the bird's heads seemed to be roughly pointing in one direction—the deepest part of the cavern.

What's there?

Guo Sen's gaze continued to move forward more than ten meters.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange.

There is a naturally formed stone that looks like a bird's nest, and there is actually an oval-shaped stone that resembles an "egg" on it.

The body of the strange stone is inlaid with quite a lot of transparent or translucent ore, which seems to be some kind of gemstone.

On both sides of this strange stone, four statues of bird-headed human bodies were carved.

The statue is more than two meters tall and covered in white paint made of unknown origin, and even has black dots on its eyes.

In front of the statue, there is meat and fruit, which looks quite fresh.

Guo Sen also saw that there seemed to be murals painted on the rock wall above the statue's head.

The main body of the mural is white, with simple lines outlined in black, detailing how the birdmen hunted, ate, and ......

Pray to God.

The so-called "god" is the large number of folk ornaments in front of you.

Guo Sen seemed to understand what this cave was for.

This is a "temple" from ancient times.

The reason why a large number of birds gather here is to kneel and kowtow to the ornaments collectively, as painted in the mural, begging for good weather.

And as you can see from the frescoes, this kind of worship is not too frequent.

He really met him by chance, and he was really lucky.

However, they have been yelling for a long time, haven't they started yet?

At this moment, a birdman standing in front of all the birdmen suddenly yelled a few words, and the cave instantly entered absolute calm.

Guo Sen immediately used his ability.

"God gave birth to us and gave us pain.

He is merciful, and he is cruel.

He gives us the light of charity and draws the enemy into the abyss.

What he hates, we will destroy;

What rejoices in him, we will offer.

We are willing to give our prey, our precious stones, everything, even our lives—to beg for God's blessing!

O great god Inute! Please bless us! ”

"Please bless us!"

After the birdman had finished a long series of prayer-like words, the birdmen instantly knelt on the ground, leaned down and pressed their hands to the ground, praying in unison.

A loud echo echoed through the cavern, and Guo Sen could feel that the birds seemed to be fully engaged in this prayer.

They were unable to stand up for a long time and remained in this position.

Guo Sen understood that in their eyes, this "Inute God" was the supreme being.

The wind and rain are smooth, and the victory in the battle, the hunting harvest and so on, all depend on this Inute god.

He began to laugh in his heart.

Is this egg a god? So what am I?

As a self-proclaimed "god", Guo Sen felt insulted.

Regardless of how that egg became a god, it was Guo Sen himself who really created the conditions for creatures to exist on the planet.

Why don't you let these birdmen see what the so-called "miracles" are?

Guo Sen suddenly had the idea of teasing them.
