Chapter 324: I'm Dying
The original temple has been demolished and a magnificent palace has been rebuilt, opening a passage downward, and Tuka leads Mawson all the way down.
The entire underground passage has been fully circuited, so Mawson no longer has to look around by the light of torches as he used to.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Mawson, because of you, the people of the tribe are living a happy life, which was unimaginable before."
Tuka said as he walked.
"The clansmen have blocked another downward passage, and there have been frequent clashes with those fallen clansmen in recent times, and their form has changed a lot compared to before."
"It seems that because they have lived underground for too long, their eyesight has basically deteriorated, and they have completely changed to a different appearance, and if it weren't for your weapon support, I am afraid we would not have been able to hold on until now." Tuka sighed.
Mo Sen had heard about this for a long time, and he had also watched Sun Lin dissect a fallen Yiwei in the laboratory.
From the outside, there were not many human beings in the object, they were tall, the upper body was normal human, but the lower body was like a skeleton crawler, holding a huge long tail.
Aside from the absence of snake hair, stone pupils, it resembles the legendary Medusa, and according to Mawson's observations, there does not seem to be a single female in the race.
Mawson was really curious about what was going on down there to make ordinary humans transform into this half-human, half-snake appearance.
Tuka didn't seem to know much about this, and Mawson was so busy that he never had time to ask the Prophet who lived underground.
With Mawson's technology, it was possible to create a room for the Prophet to live in, but for some reason, the old monkey seemed to be underground, and never appeared in front of the world.
Come to the underground space from before.
It's still the same place, and it hasn't undergone any technical modifications.
Walking here, Tuka didn't continue, bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Knock, knock.
There was a soft thumping sound, and Mawson walked to the depths of the cavern, where a clumsy, white-haired figure was slowly approaching.
frowned slightly, "White Ape, why are you so old?" ”
Mawson asked aloud, not even daring to raise his voice, for fear of startling the figure in front of him because it was too sudden.
The white ape looked up.
The white hair on his body hadn't been combed for a long time, and it dragged on the ground for a long time, even covering his original facial features, revealing only a pair of cloudy eyes.
The eyes were no longer full of energy, gray, as if covered with a layer of something.
"Is it Mr. Mawson?"
"I'm blind, I've seen things."
"What the hell is going on?" Mawson asked.
In the past three years, Mawson and the white ape have not met several times, but no matter which one of them, the white ape has shown abundant vitality and has not shown much signs of aging at all.
"Remember I told you that I can see some of the future in my sleep, and I tell you that this ability is very uncertain, and I can't fully grasp it."
"Actually, I lied."
The white ape sighed, and he sat on crutches in the darkness, then reached out and motioned for Mawson to sit opposite.
"Every ten years, I can have a chance to activate the ability, and in all these years, there haven't been many major events in the tribe, and the last time I met you, I had a few extra opportunities."
"Recently, though, for some reason, I've used up all my abilities, but I'm so desperate to know the answers, and keep using them after they've run out of power......"
"It turned out to be what it is now."
"My body is aging at a rapid rate, my eyes were blind three months ago, and the hair on my body is growing at a frightening rate. It felt like I had the remaining decades of my life in a few months. ”
The white ape's chest was like a bellows.
"Don't you want to know, Mr. Mawson, what I see?"
"Will you tell me?" Mawson's eyes flickered, staring at the white ape opposite.
The white ape shook his head gently, his eyes were out of focus, "I saw something about you, about your origin......"
The white ape hesitated, as if suffering some terrible pain.
"I can't say it anymore, I'll die if I say it!"
Mawson sighed softly, and sure enough.
What the white ape saw should not be his business, but through Mo Son, he spied a little trace of the chrono express company.
But even this little bit is not allowed by the Chrono Express Company, and the white ape who leaked the heavenly secret will inevitably die.
"I don't regret Mr. Mawson, I even thank you for allowing me to see a wider space, and unimaginable grandeur."
"It's even better than anything I've ever seen underground."
"That thing?"
Mawson asked, confused.
"Actually, I wasn't originally a prophet of the Iwei, my sister was, but she betrayed the tribe and defected to the demons of the underworld......"
Mawson looked surprised, "You mean that the part of the clan that you locked down underground was led by your sister?"
The white ape nodded.
"My sister has taken two macaroni plants and has a terrifying ability that has allowed her to turn those fallen people into the terrible way they are now."
"They have the aura of demons on their bodies, and even if they wander around those monsters in the open, they will not be attacked in any way."
"It was only her and a few fighters around her who she was now, and it was a big divide for us."
"Then, she wrapped me in the severed tail of a monster and led me deep underground."
"I don't even know how far we've come, but I guess it's going to be at least a few days!"
"The space below is getting hotter and hotter, and the heat is unbearable, and finally, we see an underground city that has been decaying for an unknown number of years in an incomparably huge space!"
"The building materials themselves shimmer, but even then I couldn't see how big the space really was."
"It's a city, but it's also like a giant factory, and in the center of a tall tower is a throne made of a mixture of flesh and bones.
"On the throne, there is a monster with an unusually long head and slender limbs!"
"He must have died, I don't know how many years have passed there, and no living thing can survive." The white ape looked sure and seemed to be comforting himself.
"We just glanced at it from a distance and left, and a great fear gripped us and we didn't dare to move in."
"My sister said that there is the origin of all life, and those things that live underground are not demons at all, and we, like those demons, are all children of the existence on the throne!"
It occurred to Mawson that he had seen the mural in the gallery, on which a creature resembled that of a white ape.
"You painted the image of that thing on the wall?" Mawson asked.
The white ape shook his head, "It's not me or my sister, I think there were ancestors who arrived there I don't know how many years ago!" ”
