Dr. Tian looked at Tulaya hesitantly, and Tulaya seemed to have guessed the content of our conversation, and nodded very generously at Dr. Ida.

Dr. Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Actually, Tulaya and them ...... It's a sacrifice......"

"Sacrifices?"

I exclaimed, how can they be sacrificed to this place as if they were the masters of this place?

Besides, what kind of country would use people as sacrifices?

Professor Tian sighed and said, "I know it's hard to accept, but Tulaya and they are sacrifices. In the ancient kingdom of Setulis, after death, people would be buried in a clean place by their relatives and returned to nature, and in their understanding, there was nothing more sacred and clean than this underground world. But after people built this palace for the demon god and the giant scorpion, they accidentally found that the workers who died and were buried here would actually wake up on the night after death, but they would become a walking corpse, and they would have nothing out of instinct, although their ** would gradually lose water because of long-term exposure to this dry and cold environment, but this did not affect their activities, and it could even be said that if they died here, they would get eternal life. ”

We all grew up in shock, how can there be such a thing in the world, where the dead get eternal life?

Professor Tian saw our reaction and continued: "When I first learned about this, I was just as shocked as you, but the magic of this world is here, and there is always something beyond your knowledge, so exploring these mysterious places becomes more and more interesting. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "But does this have anything to do with the sacrifices you just mentioned?" ”

Professor Tian said: "Of course it matters, it wasn't long before the Setulis discovered that those huge scorpions would actually hunt those walking dead, although the skin of these walking corpses was dry and rough, very strong, but those huge scorpions, their mouths could melt some, it seemed that they were born to eat these walking dead." When Tulista learned about this, he thought it was the best way to show favor to the demon gods, and from then on, anyone who made a big mistake would be exiled to this underworld, and after those people died, they would become a walking corpse, a reserve food for those giant scorpions, and this place was later called by the people of Setulis: Paradise of Eternal Life. ”

I heard it creepy, Eternal Paradise? How can this kind of place be called a paradise, this is clearly a cage for those scorpions, a hunting ground for those demons.

If a person is exiled here, then it is not only death that makes him afraid, or rather, death is only the beginning of fear, and when these people die, they will have to face the invasion of those demons.

I suddenly thought of the group of dried corpses that attacked us, the visceral fear they felt when they heard the scorpions wake up.

Although they have lost all their senses as human beings, fear is instinctive.

It's sad......

I said, "But didn't you say that everyone who dies here will become the walking dead?" Natulaya ......"

Tulaya's situation did not match what Professor Tian had described, and Tulaya's dried corpses were obvious

We have the same high level of intelligence as normal humans, but if what Professor Tian said is wrong, it is not true, because we have indeed seen some walking dead who regard us as prey.

It all seems to be a bit contradictory, and I don't understand it.

Professor Tian seemed to understand what I meant, and he said, "Haha, what I just said may not be very rigorous, Turaya is an example, he is not a sacrifice, he is the only one who came to this place by himself." ”

Running here on your own? What are you here for? Explore? Or to death?

Professor Tian seemed to like to see my shocked expression, as if it would satisfy his heart. So deliberately speaking left me some space for reverie, although I knew what he thought, but I still couldn't help but follow his words and continue to think.

I was so helpless that I had to shrug my shoulders.

Professor Tian laughed again and said, "I know you're curious, right?" You're wondering why Tulaya and the rest of them have intelligence and memories, and why the guys out there are just walking dead. You're still wondering why Tulaya would come to this place of his own volition, right? ”

Sure enough, he has been lonely for too long, and he likes to look at people's faces full of anticipation to achieve his inner satisfaction.

I frowned, pretending to be a little annoyed, Professor Tian waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll continue." In fact, the reason why Tulaya came here is very simple, that is the person standing next to him. ”

When we heard Professor Tian say this, we unconsciously focused our eyes on the richly dressed corpse that had been standing beside Tulaya.

The dry corpse seemed to feel our burning gaze, as if nervous, and grabbed Tulaya's seat with its dry hands.

Professor Tian continued: "That person is Tulaya's son, Turazan. Many years ago, Turazan was sent to Paradise of Eternal Life by the third king of the time because of his great mistake. Tulaya was the prince at that time, and after several intercessions, Turazan still did not receive any pardon, so Tulaya, who loved his son, had to come to this underground world alone after Turazan was assigned, wanting to save his son. But what he didn't expect was that he was still a step too late, and just after Turazan reached the Eternal Paradise, he was brutally killed by a dried corpse. Tulaya watched his son being killed, but could not do anything about it. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Tian paused and seemed to be a little emotional.

I was also emotional, because I thought of my mother, when we followed Zhao Jianguo back to the mountain that night, the figure who waved at me eagerly and asked me to go down the mountain, I was sure that it was my mother.

The same can't do anything, the same love son is heartfelt.

I couldn't help but sigh when I thought of this, and my eyes were a little sore.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously to try to keep my demeanor natural, and asked, "What's next?" ”

Professor Tian said: "Although Tulaya could not save Turazan's life, he was the royal family of Setulis, and the royal family of Setulis has always kept this secret, which is a shocking secret discovered by the first Setulis. ”

Speaking of which, Professor Tian actually did it again

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Stopped, and over and over again, I felt like I was being played.

I was really annoyed this time, and said with a sigh of relief: "Say it quickly, and then what? ”

Professor Tian coughed dryly twice and said, "Are young people so boring nowadays? Really...... The secret is that the walking dead who drink the spiritual spring will regain their sanity, just as they did when they were alive. When the first Setulis were building a palace, a craftsman accidentally knocked his head and died, and that night he became a walking corpse, but her wife did not know where the idea came from, so she actually stole the holy water from the spiritual spring and gave it to the dead craftsman to drink. The craftsman gained the same wisdom as when he was alive, but this matter was still known to the royal family at the time, and the royal family felt that it was a blasphemy against the demon god and an insult to their regime. They do not allow such blasphemy to happen, let alone the existence of true eternal life in this world, because the only ones who can be worthy of eternal life are the gods. The royal family immediately executed the couple and sealed the news forever, and over time, the secret was known only to the royal family. ”

So after Turazan's death, Tulaya was determined to make Turazan an immortal. He came to the palace, found the spiritual spring according to the book, and successfully stole the holy water and gave it to Turazan to drink. As legend has it, Turazan regained his sanity and was truly immortal. ”

"Tulaya is very excited and very moved. So he took out some of the holy water and committed suicide near midnight that day, after which Turazan fed Tulaya in the same way, and they were the first true masters of the dungeon for thousands of years. ”

Professor Tian said so much in one breath, he seemed to be a little tired, but he didn't stop this time, and said directly: "In this way, Tulaya father and son hid in this underground palace and saved some of their compatriots who they thought were of good character. ”

"The people here are grateful for Turaya's great kindness, and Tulaya was a royal family during his lifetime, so everyone respects him, and an alternative mini-kingdom is formed here. But these people, life is not easy, they have to hide from the soldiers who come to patrol during the day, and at night they have to find a way to avoid the pursuit of those huge scorpions, in the long river of time, they have not been idle for a moment, knowing that the person you are interested in appears, they can have a place to stay, which is what you see now. ”

I looked at the father and son, and although their names sounded as funny as brothers, it did not affect my respect for them, they were really hard and incredible.

I suddenly thought of something and asked, "According to what you mean, the time when that person arrived was probably only four or five hundred years from now, and was the kingdom of Celturis already destroyed at that time?" ”

Professor Tian showed an appreciative expression, nodded and said, "You young man is okay, your thinking is very clear. ”

It seems that I am right, but since the kingdom of Setulis has fallen in just a few hundred years, and after knowing the history of this country, Uncle Habtu's statement has become obviously untenable, then why did this once prosperous country disappear overnight?
