The first rays of morning light shine on the snow-covered summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, reflecting the crystalline and brilliant colors.

The battle that began at dusk lasted all night, and all the Federation Evolutionaries were exhausted, but the beautiful view of the icebergs in the morning light lifted everyone's spirits.

At the foot of Chi Hua is the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro - Hulu Equatorial Peak.

There is a huge crater with a diameter of 2,400 meters and a depth of 200 meters at the summit, and the four walls of the pass are huge ice layers that are crystal clear, and there are huge icicles at the bottom, covered with ice and snow, like a huge jade basin.

Chi Hua suddenly rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and in the center of the crater, surrounded by huge icicles, a tall square stone hall appeared.

The stone hall is more than 30 meters high, the whole body is made of gray basalt stones, there are eight huge stone pillars standing side by side in the front, and there are long stone steps in front of the stone hall.

Chi Hua thought that he was hallucinating, and the stone hall in front of him was exactly the same as the stone hall in the Yeti Valley of the Himalayas.

Chi Hua knew that this was not an illusion, because he saw the same shocked look in An An and Ma Qingqiu's eyes.

The snowman, the divine stone, and the mysterious man, the two ends of the clue at this moment are finally connected.

Tens of thousands of years ago, these mysterious people lost a war, and a handful of survivors took the sacred stone to the Yeti Valley in the Himalayas. They built a stone temple there to worship the Sacred Stone, taught the snowmen in the valley to make fires, build houses, and make them the guardians of the Sacred Stone. These mysterious people have lost their traces in the long river of history.

After the end of the world, the mysterious man wanted to retrieve the divine stone of the Snowman Valley, but he didn't expect to be taken by Chi Hua first, but he happened to save the Snowman King who was crushed under the iceberg.

Who are these mysterious people?

Chi Hua believes that there must be an answer in the stone hall below!

A metal ladder stretched down from the crater, and Chi Hua stepped on the stairs and slowly descended.

The people of the Federation followed closely behind Chi Hua, no matter what kind of danger there was below, they had to take the last step.

Huge sword-like icicles spread all over the valley floor, leaving many huge hoof prints on the ground between the icicles, indicating that there are often huge beasts shuttling between them.

The strong man of the Federation clenched the blade in his hand and approached the stone hall in the middle step by step.

Gradually approaching the main entrance of the stone hall, the expected battle did not break out for a long time.

"Sister An'an, look, it's so beautiful!" Sophia suddenly let out a surprised sound.

On the frozen soil on the periphery of the stone hall grew a circle of red mushrooms, and white spots grew on the red umbrella cover. This circle of red mushrooms happens to grow between the white snow and the gray stone temple, as if the bottom of the volcano separates the inner and outer worlds.

Sophia's little girl wanted to run over, but was pulled by An An, "Don't go over, be careful of poison." ”

Except for Sophia and An An, everyone's attention was not on these brightly colored mushrooms. From where everyone was, they could already see the scenery in the stone hall.

In the middle of the stone hall stood a huge gray round and angular stone, which was nearly a meter in diameter and weighed about half a ton.

All the third-order powerhouses felt the huge aura field emanating from that stone.

"So, is that the source of evolution?" Vincent was already stuttering a little excitedly.

There was a sound of swallowing saliva in the crowd, and the eyes of the people looking at the stone were hot.

The "Source of Evolution" has long been no secret to the third-order powerhouses, and a small piece the size of a fist can allow a force to increase countless naturally awakened evolutionaries. This piece in front of you is simply priceless, and the radiation root of all the evolution on Earth may come from it!

Chi Hua and Yi Fengleng glanced at each other and took the lead in moving forward.

"I didn't expect you to find this place?"

When Chi Hua stepped into the inner world divided by the red mushroom circle, a loud voice suddenly sounded.

Chi Hua stopped, staring vigilantly at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared on the steps in front of the stone hall.

The man was short and stocky, with long, unkempt brown hair like a lion, a long beard, and a bright but angry gaze. If it weren't for a simple black robe, the man would be more like a legendary savage.

One after another, the black-clothed men walked out of the stone hall, a total of more than thirty people, standing in three rows behind the men.

There were both men and women, but none of them were of the same stout frame as the man in charge.

As these black-clothed men walked out of the stone hall one after another, one after another beast roars sounded in the crater, and the roar shook the snowflakes and ice chips in the mountain pass.

A saber-toothed tiger more than ten meters long and a dinosaur wolf of similar size poked their heads out of the stone hall at the same time, and the saber-toothed tiger and the dinosaur protected both sides of the main entrance of the stone hall on the left and right.

A mammoth giant elephant more than twenty meters tall walked out of the stone hall, and its huge body almost blocked the main entrance of the entire stone hall.

Tyrannosaurus rex, ironclad, emperor crocodile, titan python, sharkodontosaur, black bear, cougar, giant scorpion...... One after another, third-order beasts emerged from behind the stone hall and the tall icicles around it.

As far as the eye could see, fifty or sixty huge third-order creatures appeared in the entire crater, the Tyrannosaurus rex and the black bear were already more than thirty meters tall, the Titan Python's unfolded body was up to a hundred meters long, and each fierce beast had the ability as powerful as the Yeti King.

The sound of swallowing saliva came from the crowd again, and even the third-order powerhouses were suppressed by the momentum of these fierce beasts. Even Li Xiaofei and Ma Qingqiu, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, their bodies trembled slightly uncontrollably, the pressure brought by these fierce beasts was too great!

Chi Hua couldn't calm the shock in his heart, "How can there be so many third-order fierce beasts?" Even if you gather the strong men of the entire human race, you are no match for these fierce beasts! The road has finally come to an end, but the end of the road is a dead end! ”

"Although you have found this place, you still cannot change the fate of this world, and death is the only end for you human beings." The leader of the men in black spoke again.

Chi Hua clenched the handle of the Great Xia Dragon Bird Knife, and the knife in his hand made Chi Hua gradually calm down, "Who are you?" Why launch a wave of mutant beasts to attack humans? ”

Even if the destined ending is death, Chi Hua must reveal the ultimate secret before he dies!

"We are human beings, the true masters of this planet! And you brutal, selfish, filthy creatures have occupied and destroyed this planet for so long, and you should all be wiped out! The leader of the men in black almost roared.

Chi Hua was still confused, he didn't know what this man in black really wanted to express besides anger?

"They are Neanderthals, thought to be a subspecies of Homo sapiens." Yi Fengleng suddenly explained on the side.

Facing Chi Hua's puzzled gaze, surrounded by a group of beasts, Yi Fengleng still showed a hint of a smile, "Don't look at me with such eyes, you forgot that I was a doctor of anthropology before the end of the world?" When you describe to me the murals in Yeti Valley, and the corpse of the man in black on the battlefield of Doom, I can almost guess that they are Neanderthals who suddenly disappeared from human history. ”

"Shut up! What qualifications do you brutal creatures have to name us after a place? The leader of the men in black was even angrier.

His anger just confirmed Yi Fengleng's guess.

Ignoring the anger of the leader of the men in black, Yi Fengleng continued to explain: "Modern humans appeared in this world 200,000 years ago, but at the same time, it is not only our ancestor Homo sapiens that appeared on the earth, but also other human races that once existed - Heidelberg Man, Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc. But these races have since disappeared, and many anthropologists believe that they were exterminated by Homo sapiens in competition with Homo sapiens. ”

The battlefield fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone, including those in black, was quietly listening to Yi Fengleng narrating the history of mankind.

"Neanderthals lived side by side with Homo sapiens for tens of thousands of years, and they had larger brains than we do, so they were smarter than Homo sapiens, and they learned to make fire, make tools, build houses, and even bury their companions before humans. But they suddenly disappeared 30,000 or 40,000 years ago, becoming a major mystery of anthropology. ”

Anthropologists have several different hypotheses about the sudden disappearance of Neanderthals, including the degradation of the human race, the natural extinction, and the assimilation of Homo sapiens by marriage. One of the theories is that they were exterminated by Homo sapiens at the same time that Homo sapiens entered Europe, and that many Neanderthal bones have been found to be cut and torn to eat meat. A small percentage of anthropologists speculate that a small number of Neanderthals survived but retreated into the wilderness. Now it seems that this guess was correct. Yi Feng said coldly and pointed in the direction of the man in black.

"You brutal creatures wiped out our race, and now you have to pay for it!" The same anger was in the eyes of all the men in black.

"What evidence do you have that your race was exterminated by Homo sapiens?" Vincent roared back.

"I believe it's true." Chi Hua suddenly spoke, his voice low and with a hint of sadness.

"This apocalypse has made me more aware of human nature. Whether it is our ancestors or us, we survived not because of higher intelligence, but because of more brutality! In recent centuries, Europeans have invaded North and South America, killing 90 percent of the indigenous people with weapons and disease, capturing 10 million slaves and killing many times as many innocents in Africa. We can be so cruel to our own kind, and of course we can imagine other humans. ”

"But Neanderthals were smarter than Homo sapiens, how could they?" Vincent still does not believe that this is the truth, and almost no one is able to admit and confront the cruelty of human nature.

"History is full of examples of the conquest of higher civilizations by lower civilizations, the invasion of the Germanic barbarians led to the fall of the Roman Empire, the iron hooves of the Mongols conquered almost all of Eurasia, and the Manchus in a corner of the country conquered the Ming Dynasty. There is only one way to conquer everything, stronger force and more cruelty! You are not Chinese, you don't know the Manchu and Qing massacres in Chinese history, Jinan Massacre 1 million, Yangzhou 10 days 800,000, Sichuan Massacre 5.4 million, Manchus killed 80 million people in more than 20 years from 1639 to 1665, a series of massacres throughout the late Ming and early Qing dynasties led to a 40% drop in the Chinese population at that time. Chi Hua's voice was filled with sadness.

Yi Fengleng took Chi Hua's words and continued: "I also believe that this is the truth. From a biological point of view, it is generally believed that a species will have some variation in morphology during evolution, so the vast majority of organisms on the earth have subspecies, such as Siberian tigers and Bengal tigers. But Homo sapiens is described in biology as 'a single species, with no subspecies.' In fact, it is not that human beings are without subspecies, but we have killed all of our own subspecies. ”

When he said this, Yi Feng Leng had tears in his eyes.

All the evolutionaries of the Earth Federation hung their heads, immersed in sadness. Everyone standing here has the blood of their own kind on their hands, and even if they dare not face it, they cannot deny the cruelty of human nature.

"My people and I have been hiding for generations in the equatorial rainforests of Liberia as savages, hominids. Until one day, Heaven sent us this gift! It has evolved us, given us the ability to communicate with beasts, and you will pay for your brutality, and we will take back the earth that belongs to us! ”

The Neanderthal leaders finally told themselves why they started this war, a real racial hatred engraved in their bones and in their blood.

The Federation still had their heads bowed, and no one refuted his words.

"Atonement for your cruelty, and you will all die!"

The third-order beast in the crater roared and pounced on the Federation Evolutionary......
