Chapter 243: Demon Realm (1)

Africa. Congo Basin. Deep in the Smoke Ghost Forest.

In the mysterious Congo Basin, there is a fallen magic realm that has always been confined to the human eye, needless to say, the surrounding natural environment, weather conditions and altitude difference are quite harsh, and it is not suitable for human survival. Even the modern human expeditions that have to raise flags everywhere they go have not been able to place their flags in this mysterious land framed by ravines, and naturally they will not know that there is a species that has lived here for almost as long as humans.

As early as 5,000 years ago, the earth's crust changed dramatically, and a large area of land suddenly subsided, cutting off from the rest of the world, forming this mysterious kingdom in the valley.

The canines on it underwent an evolutionary process that was indistinguishable from that of humans, gradually learning to walk upright and practical tools, and eventually became one of the only five primitive intelligent races on the earth, which was named "canine people". Of course, these canines are different from Ah Yi...... Ah Yi evolved directly from Nobita and has super intelligence to ascend to the sky in one step, but these canine people are completely natural selection. Perhaps it is a shortcut in the evolutionary process, the brain of the canine man is much more developed than the ape, 5000 years ago, when the human being was still in the stage of drinking blood, the canine man already had a fairly complete scientific system.

On the one hand, they are constrained by the limited resources in the basin and are unable to build the entire country into a hyper-modern form; But on the other hand, their growing tech tree is changing people (dogs?) every day. The backward infrastructure has been unable to keep up with the needs of the people.

As a result, a series of weapons were introducedβ€”a jet train, a spiral airship, a powerful sonic weapon capable of slicing mountains off, the "Aoya Cannon", and a projection "Necklace of Order" capable of creating realistic killing effects...... The canine man's tech tree is completely different from that of humans, and as such, some of these creations may be extremely naΓ―ve in the eyes of modern humans. (For example, the fire-breathing chariot is almost at the level of the pre-World War I, which is extremely simple and ridiculous in the eyes of today's human beings), but at the same time, there are also a considerable number of creations, even the most advanced modern European Union, which cannot restore its principle. Ultimately, this is due to a series of cultural differences that arise from racial differences.

But in any case, humans 5,000 years ago were not qualified to laugh at the canine race, it was 5,000 years ago! - In that era when it took a long time to make a fire, you saw a fire-breathing car roaring towards you, and the hard front of the car could crush a big tree into two sections, and you were probably scared immediately...... It is light to bow down.

How can primitive humans, who are still wielding bronze weapons, block the countless bombs falling from the sky?

Fortunately, the king of the canine race of that generation was not a killer (of dogs?). )。 He did not heed the suggestion of the contemporary minister to "kill Wangwang Lake", but ordered a complete blockade of a series of the most advanced scientific and technological research of the year, locked the country, and completely reversed the infrastructure construction. Due to the huge gap in technology, the humans outside are completely monkey-like creatures in their eyes, and there is nothing to be wary of...... As a royal family, the most important thing is to ensure that no one usurps the throne, so that the seat of the royal family can sit in peace forever. Once they agree to go out of the basin and open up the territory and plunder the land, there will inevitably be heroes and powerful ministers of the war, and then they will demand the division of land and the addition of officials and knights. When the time comes, these powerful vassals with land, troops, and sufficient weapons will form a force to be reckoned with, posing a threat to the royal power, and so ...... It's better to block technology and keep the power of the royal family in your hands forever.

To put it mildly, at least in this small Wangwang Lake, they will always be the emperor of the soil.

As a result, 5,000 years have passed...... While the canines enjoyed the Peach Blossom Spring, the Homo sapiens, who were originally despised by them, quickly rose to become the son of the latest generation of Earth's timely version of the game. It turns out that the dog man can crush humans in all aspects of technology, and now there are only a few black technologies that have been handed down thousands of years ago that can be boasted of a little, and other things, such as productivity, knowledge systems, crops, etc., have been compared with humans.

After 5,000 years of dynastic changes, the royal power of the Kuntak clan is declining, and this country of Wangwang Lake is like a dying old man, content with a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and seems to have no hope of getting ahead.

All this began to usher in a turnaround from one night nine years ago.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

For Wangwang Lake, it was just another ordinary day, and there was nothing special. The dark green water of the lake sparkles and rises in the early morning with a thick vapor that spreads over this small land. The plants, as usual, breathe the water in the air greedily, and the moist earth emits a deep and wonderful smell, as if it were the precipitation of this ancient country for more than 5,000 years. The waterwheels still crunch, their old, solid timber structures for their sleepless irrigation. One by one, the residents got up from their houses, in groups of threes and twos, smiling and greeting each other, carrying farm tools of one kind or another on their shoulders.

Working in the fields is a rule that has not changed for thousands of years, and it is unrealistic to want to change it in a short period of time.

As the tools are turned up and down, the seeds of the crops are sown, and the fertile soil is turned over again, feeding the source of life for the canine people.

……

Wangwanghu Kuntak One Hundred and Ninth stood silently on the shoulders of the giant god, letting the wind from the tall buildings whizz past his ears like knives, blowing the fur all over his body and fluttering backwards. After parting with Nobita, Quintak began his reigning career, and soon he discovered that such a small agricultural kingdom could have so many bad things happening one after another! It seems that many of the nobles of the "restoration" faction are more inclined to the traitorous king who once gave them benefits - Dabrado, but they do not have a good impression of their own orthodox royal family. They colluded to show that on the surface they were in harmony with the monarch and the ministers, but in fact they secretly obstructed the decrees they had issued, and conveyed to the people the idea that "the son of Kuntak is mediocre, abusing power and misleading the country" at every opportunity, which is extremely hateful.

Kuntak was the end of the day, and he soon learned how to co-opt a group of new nobles while alienating another group of ...... In such a large feudal autocratic kingdom, with military power in hand, plus the name of an orthodox royal family, it is actually enough to combine this trick with vertical and horizontal techniques.

After all, Quintak is the only canine who has gone out to see a human country, and has accumulated a wealth of experience in the previous years of wandering. And although the people in the Wangwanghu Kingdom claim to be smart, their thinking is actually even more backward than that of the dog people five thousand years ago, and it will be hell if they can play with him......

Time flies, and Kuntak soon changed from a teenager to a young man, and from a young man to a majesty.

There was rarely a smile in his eyes now, and most of the time, the light that burst from the depths of his eyes was as terrifying as a volcano, as sharp as the sword he was wearing, as if it could cut through anything that stood in his way at any moment. Dressed in a reddish-purple woven shawl, Kuntak held on to the handle nailed to the back of the Giant Statue's neck with one hand, steadied himself and looked down. In the cold morning breeze, the glorious Wangwang Lake was like a transparent emerald, reflected in his eyes along with the entire kingdom.

Kuntak didn't say a word, his free left hand gripped the hilt of the sword dangling from his waist. He would stand here every morning, not knowing what he was looking at.

The statue of the giant god, seventy meters high.

What is it like to stand at a height of 70 meters and look down on all beings?

After becoming Your Majesty, the scenery in his eyes is destined to be different from ordinary dog people.

……

"Boom β€”β€”β€”β€”!!"

A sharp jet of nitrogen gas was heard in the distance, but a sturdy figure flew straight up like a harrier soaring into the sky, leaving a trail of white smoke behind him. As he climbed to the same height as Kuntarch, he suddenly spun around deftly in the air, as if trying to unload the momentum of the ascent. After doing this standard tactical move, he tightened his arms like an osprey, dived down for a while, and finally landed firmly in front of Kuntak with a "click".

The Titan has wide shoulders and nailed handrails, enough for fifteen people to stand.

"Good morning, Bruce." Kuntak looked at the generous founder of the country and smiled faintly.

"Good morning, Your Majesty." Bruce knelt down on one knee and returned the courtesy without humility or arrogance, just as his father who served Kuntac back then, "In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, and with sufficient safety guarantees, I led the 'Second Military Police' on a test flight of new weapons, and by the way, patrolled high altitude near the Smoker Forest. ”

"The gendarmes generally have a high opinion of the 'jet flying device'." Bruce stood up and slightly adjusted the several jets scattered across his arms, legs, and back, as well as the compressed nitrogen packet on his back, making a series of metal slamming sounds, "Except for a few people, who may have been born with poor balance and can't adapt to flying." On the way, six gendarmes broke away from the team for various reasons, and all of them successfully opened their parachutes and landed safely without causing any casualties. ”

"Good thing." Kuntak still smiled unhurriedly, "This incident proves that with a certain degree of training, ordinary soldiers can also master the art of flying. Thank you for the scientific and technological legacy left by your ancestors...... Let's crack down on how to make a solo flight, and it's not very expensive. In this way, the efficiency of domestic transportation and reconnaissance will be greatly improved, and with the new mode of warfare, the military strength will certainly increase! ”

"......," Bruce looked at him with ulterior motives, and continued, "As for the second thing Your Majesty has to say...... We made a round trip along the borders of the Smoke Ghost Forest, and it was business as usual. No traces of modern humans have been found, except for the primitive tribes at the edge of the forest. It seems that the unique geographical environment of Wangwang Lake is still sheltering us. ”

"Hey......"

This was obviously good news, but Kuntak couldn't help but sigh and turned his back to look at the kingdom that was gradually waking up below.

"It won't take long." Kuntak muttered to himself.

"You...... What are you talking about? It seems that since becoming king, what Quintarch said has become more and more profound, and Bruce may not be able to understand one sentence in three sentences, "But ...... The giant god statue has guarded Wangwang Lake for 5,000 years, and in these 5,000 years, no human country has ever discovered us, and this is all the blessing of the ancestors! ”

"......" Quintak turned his head and smiled a slightly helpless smile, almost like the kind of smile that grown-ups would show when they hear childish remarks.

"Bruce, how fast is humanity evolving...... You have no idea. He couldn't help but envy the other party - because he didn't know anything, he could live easily every day, and he didn't have to have a sense of crisis like his own edifice was about to collapse, "They have already launched the spaceship to the moon." ”

"What does this have to do with us? Wangwang Lake does not contact the outside world, this is the rule for thousands of years, Your Majesty Kuntak! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How long do you think the Smoker Forest and the surrounding valley will protect us? A hundred years? Fifty years? What are we going to do if this place is discovered by humans from outside? What would Homo sapiens do to another sapient race? Wangwang Lake has well-developed ore and chemical resources...... All kinds of extravagant gemstones of the human world are as common to us as stones. Once discovered by humans...... Tell me, Bruce, what do you think will happen? ”

Quintak uttered a few words, as if realizing that he was too emotional, and the young Majesty straightened his clothes, coughed, and returned to his solemn and calm appearance.

"I'm sorry, Bruce, maybe it's too early for you...... But please understand. Neither you, nor Ezor, nor the ministers who oppose me, have none of you been to the human world. You've been intriguing and playing Game of Thrones in this tiny valley every day until I come back...... But I'm different, a blessing in disguise, I've seen the prosperity of the human world with my own eyes. The reinforced concrete house is dozens of meters high; Ships crossing the strait are sturdy and safe; Instruments that fly through the air are many times faster than ours...... Not to mention weapons. Do you think flying devices are amazing? In the eyes of their soldiers, we are like a group of torch-wielding primitives, still clamoring to conquer the world. ”

"If there is no change, the Wangwanghu Kingdom will die at my hands."

His eyes were filled with emerging flames, and he looked down on the heavens and the earth, as if two torches were burning that would never be extinguished.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's why you ......," Bruce exclaimed, "but do you really believe that?" Could it be that that message was just a dream of yours? ”

"It's not a dream, it's not an auditory hallucination. The information came straight into my head, very clearly...... I've used the Order Necklace to pretend to be a ghost, and I know the process of creating illusions, so I'm sure it's not a hallucination, and I'm not hypnotized by anything. ”

Kuntak looked up at the eastern sky, where the morning sun was rising, "...... It was Nobita's voice. ”

At the mention of this name, the young king's eyes seemed to suddenly have a brightness, and the corners of his mouth also curled up slightly, "He said, the fat tiger is coming here soon." ”

……

Bruce looked at the king with a worried look in his eyes. As a sword-wielding guard, he didn't really understand what King Quintak was worried about...... Because of these troubles, no one has ever had them for generations. He only knew that this prince, who had lost his father at a young age and had experienced a coup d'Γ©tat by his ministers, had such a turbulent life at the age of eighteen this year, and shouldered such a huge responsibility, the pressure in his heart must have increased day by day.

In this case, it was not surprising that he saw any hallucinations.

"Your friend, in a faraway country tens of thousands of kilometers away......"

Just as he was about to say this, Kuntak suddenly raised his hand and choked his words!

"Shhhh You listen...... Something seems to be shaking! ”

Earthquake? In this magic realm where there has been no earthquake for 5,000 years, there was a sudden movement of the earth's crust?!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Knock β€”β€”β€”β€”!!"

A pillar of light descended from the sky, slicing through the mist of the Smoke Ghost Forest like a sharp sword, and landed directly in front of the giant statue. In the galaxy-like light, a sturdy figure slowly paced out.
