Volume 1 Unheard of Stars Chapter 35 65 Years Ago
After they stooped down and climbed into the narrow passage, the giant behind them did not chase after them due to their size. More than 20 people were climbing along the secret passage from end to end, which was like an exhaust pipe covered with oil stains, and the walls of the tunnel were also made of dark blue asphalt.
"Ahh
After crawling for about a few minutes, an exclamation suddenly came from the secret passage.
Jiang Luo looked back, and a grimacing man was pointing to a deep pit that suddenly appeared in front of him: "He...... Falling! ”
Jiang Luo used a strong light to shine into the pit the size of the wellhead, and found that there was a metal bar on the edge of the pit, just like a vertical ladder built by hand.
It is also unknown if he continues to go forward, and the same is true if he goes down the metal ladder, but his intuition made Jiang Luo choose to go down, and he tied a strong light with a strip of cloth and carefully climbed down the metal ladder.
Several grimaces followed him, while others continued to crawl forward. After climbing more than sixty steps down, he finally saw the ground, Jiang Luo had a feeling of stepping on a steel plate when he stepped on the ground, which was different from the previous touch, and there was a pool of bright red blood on the ground facing the well pit, it should be the person who had just fallen, but his body was gone.
Jiang Luo pulled out his long knife and vigilantly turned on the bright light to observe the surroundings. The wall here was also different from the previous one, it was some kind of black, ancient metal wall, and there were rows of palm-sized hexagonal convex armor on it, which felt neither like masonry nor any kind of metal that Jiang Luo had ever seen. But there was not a trace of rust on the metal wall, only a little dust attached to it, but it was cold and metallic to the touch.
The six people who followed also turned on their bright lights, and under the illumination of the light, the scene in front of them stunned everyone.
On both sides of the place where they had entered, there was a vertical coffin densely placed, its appearance was exactly the same as that seen on the ninth floor, except that the vertical coffin here was much smaller in size, about two meters or so. These coffins are like hospital beds, separated by just over a metre between them.
"There's a broken coffin here!" A grimace shouted.
Under the dim white light refracted by the searchlight, the torn coffin contained only a thick layer of web-like sticky material resembling spider silk, and there was no "corpse" as everyone expected. A grimace attempted to reach out and touch the silks, but was stopped by another grimace next to him.
"Don't touch it, it could be poisonous!"
"This one seems to have been opened a while ago, and you see, there's no ash here!" Said the man who tried to touch the spider silk.
At this time, the others found that it seemed to be the case, there was no ash at all in the broken place of the coffin, and the surrounding ground was full of dust, and it happened that the "corpse" in the coffin was gone, and at this time, seven people came up with a terrifying guess at the same time, could it be that the things in the coffin ran out and dragged away the body of the person who had just fallen?
Despite their fear, they had to continue exploring in order to find a way out. Seven people, led by Jiang Luo, walked forward along the passage between the coffin forests, and this vast coffin forest seemed to have no end, and they couldn't get out.
Jiang Luo's body has become more and more acute since the accident on the outskirts of the Demon Capital, and at this time, he suddenly clenched the long knife in his hand vigilantly, as if something was spying on him in the darkness that the searchlight could not shine.
"Wait, how come there's one less person!"
The person who walked at the end said that he was the fifth person, but when he turned around, he found that the sixth person who had been following behind him was gone! A big living person disappeared without a trace!
"Ahh
Just as the rest of the people were frightened by the sixth person who had disappeared, a scream came out from the dark coffin, Jiang Luo took the searchlight in the direction of the sound, and the miserable white light shone on the object, reflecting the color of dead pork, and the pale and skinless humanoid creature was crouching on the edge of the coffin, like a mouse with no fur, and the person who had just disappeared was lying on the side of the coffin. Attracted by the light, it lifted its eyeless head, and on its pale face, there was only a mouth that resembled a slit, its ears were like two holes in the left and right of its skull, its throat was muzzling, its feet were attached to the ground like suction cups, and it had only three webs. The three-fingered hand was slowly pulling out of the man's throat, and his whole paw was still dripping with the blood of the man's throat. It looked at the five humans in front of it, and cracked open the gap in its face, revealing a strange "smile", a large mouth full of fangs that exuded the smell of decay, and those teeth were like old stalactites.
Surprisingly, the monster didn't attack them directly, and after a strange laugh, the monster ran straight behind it, bowing like a jerboa.
It wasn't very fast, as if it was deliberately luring the five of them. They followed this jerboa-like monster, unconsciously through the coffin forest, along the dark tunnel to an empty area, here looked up is a starry sky, not the ordinary night sky full of clouds and gas, but pure starry sky, vast, hand to pick stars, looking down, the five people are on a cliff, under them is a bottomless dark abyss.
When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you!
This is the only feeling when five people look down on the abyss, and when it is bottomless, it will even make people feel that it has life, is there an unknown mystery under the abyss?
Standing on the top of the cliff, it seems that you can touch the stars in the sky with your hand, the cratered planet should be the moon, the red is Mars, the yellowish is Jupiter, and the farthest sea blue should be Uranus...... The reason why the sky on the earth looks blue is because of the extremely small particles of atmospheric molecules, which are scattered by short-wave rays, and the blue and violet light with shorter wavelengths in sunlight are scattered through the atmosphere, and humans are not sensitive to violet light, so the sky they see is blue, and the same is true for other planets, and their colors are just what humans see.
The five of them were like standing in the perspective of God, observing the entire yang system, the big planets that were easily visible to the naked eye were rotating in front of their eyes, more than seventy dwarf planets were floating in the dark space like corpses, and countless stars and meteorites were orbiting around the fiery red sun, silent and solemn.
Seeing the vastness of the starry sky will make people forget the trivial things of the mortal, at this moment the five of them are addicted to this mysterious and magnificent space wonder, when you carefully look at a certain planet, you can even see the shape of the clouds, the wrinkles of the mountains and rivers, they forget where they are, why they came, deeply immersed in the vision.
Suddenly, in the meteorite sea Ke Bai belt at the edge of the yang system, a hot sphere like a red-hot iron ball broke in, meteorites of different sizes were pulled by it, integrated into its body and became a part of it, it was like a high-speed spinning top, rampage in the solar system, the meteorites pulled by it were like a note, when it approached Mars, a mysterious beam of light rushed straight to it from the direction of the moon, accompanied by a violent explosion and dispersion, followed by contraction and collapse, and finally this one learned the "star absorbing method" After the strange sphere shed a large amount of external solids in the planetary belt between Mars and Jupiter, a crimson core wrapped in five-colored gas like an aurora rushed directly to Earth...... The blue sky instantly turned black as if it had lost its atmosphere, and the blood-red sphere descended, and the fire that rushed out of the earth seemed to be launching some kind of weapon, but the sphere began to expand after being stagnant in low-earth orbit for a while, like a balloon, and finally exploded! Countless Mars fell to every corner of the Earth, and it was a mass of meteorites wrapped in five-colored brilliance, which burst and burned after touching the atmosphere, tearing small holes in the Earth. The largest of these, which was 10 kilometers in diameter, tore through a huge hole and plunged into the Earth's body, striking what is now the Gulf of Mexico. The boulders seep into the surface, generating heat that turns 200,000 cubic kilometers of granite into a liquid that ripples and spreads out in all directions, forming mountain waves at the edge of which are taller than Mount Everest.
After that, the wave of fluid rocks began to collapse, and the return to the starting point was raised upward, like a stone falling into the water, and a huge rock sphere reappeared, which bounced up and fell again at a distance of about 15 kilometers from the surface, and finally formed a crater with a diameter of about 180 kilometers. The plates affected by it transmitted pressure like dominoes, and eventually a huge plateau was inflated in the region where the East is located today.
And those four-shot sparks fell all over the world, and this heavenly fire fell on the earth like cannonballs, between the mountains, in the lakes and seas, countless creatures died in terror. Huge reptiles with strange shapes, towering plants like clouds, all of them were wiped out in this rain of fire!
"This is, the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?" The five of them were amazed, the picture they saw in front of them was the age of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and those large bipeds with a height of five or six meters and a body length of more than ten meters were not exactly the same as the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
Sixty-five million years ago, it was an era of giant creatures, all kinds of creatures named after the word "dinosaurs" - dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs, dinosaurs, pigs, dinosaurs, ...... These Titan-class creatures dominated the Earth for hundreds of millions of years, but began to go extinct 65 million years ago! All the big creatures are beginning to go extinct, leaving only the small ones like cockroaches to survive, and one of the creatures called apes will take over their rights to dominate the planet in 5,000 years!
There are countless hypotheses about the causes of the extinction of the dinosaurs: climate change, species struggles, continental drift, geomagnetic changes, orogeny, ...... But one of the most striking is the meteorite impact theory, this meteorite more than ten kilometers away hit the earth, leading to the end of the age of dragons and the beginning of the age of man!
"Wait, look there!"
Under the man's exclamation, Jiang Luo looked in the direction indicated by his hand, and in the corner of this documentary-like holographic projection screen, there were black inverted floating statues. Hidden among the cedar trees, they would only be mistaken for some kind of plant if they weren't looked closely, but the five of them were pretty sure they weren't any kind of plant. And in the cedar trees, there is a humanoid creature about two meters tall!
"This, how can it be ......"
500,000 years ago, the ancestors of mankind, Homo sapiens, appeared! And this was 65 million years ago, how could anyone have existed! Don't...... Is it an earthling of the previous era!?
The five of them thought about it, and the camera turned directly to the cedar bush in the corner, and under the black inverted floating massacre that was obviously man-made, a group of black humanoid creatures were fleeing frantically. The sky was constantly raining fire, and it was devastated...... These humanoids aren't just running away, they seem to be fighting! The more they looked back, the more surprised they became, the targets of those black humanoid creatures turned out to be some fiery red giants! These flame giants were nearly ten meters tall, walking among the cedar trees more than ten meters high, scorching all the plants around them. Above the blood-red high sky, the black clouds formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash were dense and layered, and it seemed that the inexhaustible fire rain was constantly washing the earth, and between the billowing smoke and layers of black clouds in the dark, a slender figure suddenly flashed, and a term familiar to all Chinese people appeared in the minds of the five people - dragon, that is a dragon?!
The figure of the dragon was far above the sky, and the five of them could only vaguely see a shadow, but the dragon shadow swam between the clouds for a while, and fell straight to the ground...... One, two, like noodles, those slender dragon shadows were smashed down in the rain of fire......
The ten-meter-tall flame giant, the dragon shadow smashed down by the rain of fire, and the earth of the abyss cut by the mysterious beam...... Scenes like myths continue to impact the world view of the five people, the picture in front of them is changing faster and faster, more and more, huge information is pouring into the minds of the five people like a tide, they hold their heads and fall to the ground in pain, their eyes are tightly closed, trying to refuse to accept external information, but those images are like frozen in their minds, even if they are blind and deaf, they still frantically pour into their minds, and keep repeating themselves......
"Get out, get out!" Jiang Luo shouted angrily, and when he felt that his head was about to be blown up by this information, a whirlpool appeared in his mind, and all the information was sucked into this whirlpool.
The images that seemed to have been forced into his mind and repeated over and over again were all cut away, as if he were smashing film tape, until the last frame, a tall figure trying to hide in the black inverted floating massacre, much clearer than the previous mosaic-like figures, it seemed to be wearing some kind of leather case, the whole was black, only half of the meteorite-burned head was exposed, but it was clearly a snake face! Its face was full of expressions that only human beings would have—frightened, helpless, angry! The pair of snake pupils seemed to penetrate the camera and looked at Jiang Luo.
The stinging pain in his eyes made Jiang Luo open his eyes, and a line of blood and tears flowed out, his eyes were red at this moment, and his skull-like face was covered with sweat. He raised his eyes and saw that the four people beside him were even worse than him, bleeding from all his knots, lying on the ground on his stomach, and his face covered with blood still had a frightened expression.
Rumble!
Rumble!
With a violent sound, the pitch-black cliff gradually lit up......
