Chapter 0399: Long Evolution
To be honest, I was instantly intrigued!
The Great Western Kingdom is the Atlantean civilization, and it is not difficult to hear from Jane's words - the civilization of Atlantis has been preserved in the form of murals!
If I can see that mural, I guess this history that has not been recognized by humans in the Fifth Civilization Era will be seen again, at least I can figure out what happened to Atlantis in the past, and if I am lucky, I can even know the purpose of Doron and the Immortal Corpse's trip!
At that moment, my breathing became uncontrollable heavy, and I stared at Jane and asked, "So, do you know what they did after they went to your ancestral land?" ”
"They didn't stop in the ancestral land, they went through the ancestral land to the end of the galaxy, the birthplace of the Holy Light Civilization, that is, the former capital of Atlantis - Poseidonia!"
Jane lowered her head, and when she said this, there was sadness in her eyes, and said softly: "It's a pity that when our ancestral land was trampled, we could only watch from the side, silently enduring humiliation......"
After hesitating for a moment, I still directly put forward my inner thoughts: "Can you take us to your ancestral land to have a look?" ”
Jane didn't speak, and she could see that she was hesitant, estimating that their ancestral land was very, very important to them.
"We need to get there anyway!"
I accentuated my tone, and I was also very apprehensive, afraid that I would anger Jane and mess up the whole thing in this delicate environment, but it was an imperative thing, and I had to make this request, and after thinking about it, I finally changed to a milder way of saying and explained: "I have already told you that the main purpose of our coming here this time is to pursue the two people who came here in the first place, and we will go wherever they go!" I can guarantee here that I will never be presumptuous in your ancestral land! ”
Jane raised her head and looked at me very seriously, "Can I trust you?" ”
"What do you think?"
I smiled bitterly: "If I had a bad idea of you, would it be possible to stand under your sword and gun and negotiate with you calmly?" ”
Jane didn't speak, and I waited patiently.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and my heart became more and more nervous, if Jane refused, I really didn't know what to do!
So, I can only look forward to it.
The underground world is very cold, but I am sweating all over my body!
Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for nearly ten minutes, Jian finally made a decision, looked up at me and said, "I hope you are not cheating on me, otherwise, I will definitely keep you here with all the strength of the whole clan!" ”
I have to say that this beautiful mess of "mermaid" suddenly let out cruel words, and the momentum was still amazing at that moment, and then she said: "It's okay, let your friends come out!" ”
I glanced at the merfolk who surrounded me, shrugged my shoulders, and didn't speak, but I guess Jane should understand, her intelligence is not lower than that of humans, although I didn't say it, but I made it clear - let your people stand back, or who knows if you will do it directly as soon as my friend comes out? It was so close, and another wave of spears was thrown, and it was estimated that none of us had to run, and we all had to be crucified to the ground!
Sure enough, Jane understood, waved her hand quietly, and suddenly, the merfolk who surrounded her began to retreat, and I finally felt relieved after retreating more than four hundred meters, because this is a relatively "safe" distance, anyway, I also fought with these mermaids, and I have some understanding of their strength, the arm strength of these things is very amazing, and the one-handed spear can shoot three hundred steps away, which is very amazing, normal people can shoot three or four hundred steps away with an iron tire bow, let alone throw a spear, dozens of meters is the limit!
Now, these merfolk have retreated to 400 meters away, at least to ensure that Tsing Yi and them will not be shot directly after they come out, so I beckoned Tsing Yi and them to come out, I came up and walked with Jane, and they always hung about 400 meters behind those mermaids!
Be vigilant, don't lose it!
It was Jane who led the way, and I asked a lot about their situation along the way, Jane was wary at first, but later came to see that I didn't ask any serious questions, so she let go of talking to me, but let me know a lot about the situation.
In fact, they ...... Descendants of the Atlanteans indeed!
The fall of the Atlantean civilization was about 9,000 years ago, but in addition to the first generation that survived by luck, the remaining descendants are not as good as the next generation, and the memory of Atlantis is getting less and less, and the cultural literacy left in the bones of the Atlanteans is constantly being lost.
Because of the loss of civilization, now Jane and they are completely unable to decipher the murals left by their ancestors, only retaining their own language, using oral transmission to record their encounters and changes in the past 9,000 years after the fall of Atlantis, so, for the once glorious prehistoric Fourth Age super civilization, Jane is not very clear, she only knows that they are the descendants of the great Great Western Kingdom, more than 9,000 years ago, the Great Western Kingdom sank to the bottom of the sea for some reason, but when it sank, It seems that something protected Poseidonia, the capital of the Great Western Kingdom, so after the sinking of the Great Western Continent, Posedonia was not swallowed up by the sea and sediment, and a small number of people in the city miraculously survived and were not shocked to death in the subsidence of the continent!
This small group of survivors is Jane's ancestor!
It's just that for some reason, this small group of people did not rebuild the city in Poseidonia, and they actually left where to dig such an underground world in the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea!
As for the ruins we see in the underground world, they are other cities in the Great Western Kingdom, but unfortunately, those cities are more unlucky, unlike the capital Poseidonia, there is nothing to protect, and they are swallowed up by sea water and sediment, it is estimated that many scientists who are exploring and looking for Atlantis have found the ruins on the bottom of the sea, and they are also other cities in the Great Western Kingdom!
As for the ancestral land Jane mentioned, it was actually the first underground world that her ancestors excavated when they left Poseidonia, and it was next to the entrance to Poseidonia! When her ancestors just left Poseidonia, they may have been a kind of wake-up call for future generations, and they recorded the civilization and history of Atlantis in that place with murals, but unfortunately, they still did useless work after all, because their descendants have long forgotten the civilization and glory of the past, and they can't understand the murals they left behind!!
According to Jane, their ancestors should be exactly the same people as us, estimated to be ancient humans, it seems that the legend that the Atlanteans are aliens from the constellation Orion is unreliable, but because they live underground all year round, the form of their descendants is constantly evolving because of the living environment, so it has gradually become what it is now, anyway, according to Jane's life changes, I basically even guessed their evolution!
In the beginning, they were digging underground ruins to find food from the ruins, because they lived underground all year round, their eyes and height would change, similar to cavemen, they would become short and sensitive to light sources!
Then, there was nothing to eat in the ruins, so they had no choice but to go into the ocean to hunt and kill underwater creatures, in order to better survive in the ocean, they grew gills, grew scales, and their legs became fish tails, which may be a very long process, but more than 9,000 years is enough for them to evolve into a new species!
I was very interested in the long evolution of their race, and I was so engaged in the conversation that I almost forgot the time, and before I knew it, Jane and I had gone far away, and then Jane stopped walking and said, "We have reached my tribe, and through my tribe is our ancestral land." ”
