Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Legend of the Savages
Savage Legends
After exterminating the Pekingese, Kinler continued to search the East Asian continent for intelligent life that might threaten their survival, and for several days to no avail, the Atlantean army began to march south. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 After searching for a few more days and still finding nothing, Dorin was a little discouraged, he found Jinler and complained: "Chief, maybe there is no intelligent life in this land, you see we have been searching for so long and found nothing!" ”
"No, it won't!" Kinler was also a little skeptical. "This land is so fertile, the living environment is so good, how can there be no intelligent life gathering, maybe we didn't find it carefully enough, let's look carefully!"
"Our troops are not very accustomed to the climate here, continue to go south, there may be variables!" Dorin continued to make excuses.
"Well, that's a problem, so let's look for another ten days, and if we can't find it, we'll change directions!" Kinler encouraged as much as he could.
"Okay!" When Dorin saw that Jinle had said this, he didn't say anything, and went back to prepare for the next day's march. Soon the Atlantean army marched to the south of China, and because these alien immigrants had adapted to the Atlantis continent in the North Atlantic, they were not adapted to the humid and rainy climate here, and soon the soldiers in the army complained that they could not eat or sleep well, and they had to endure the torment that they might not achieve their goals. Ten days later, everyone was settled. In any case, what the leader said was to be counted, and until now, everyone saw the hope of the end of the mission, and that night the demon life and his tribe celebrated in a clearing in the forest, and in order to defend against the damp and fierce beasts, they lit a bonfire in the middle of the clearing, and everyone discussed the route back while roasting meat. Unconsciously, it was late at night, and the demon had eaten a lot of meat, and after a while he left the fire and prepared to go deep into the woods for convenience. As soon as he entered the woods, he heard a thud, as if something had fallen from the tree, smashing off a pile of branches. The demon creature hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge black shadow running towards the depths of the woods at a very fast speed, he could see clearly, the black shadow was on two feet on the ground, and moved quickly. The demon was frightened by this, and there was no sense of convenience, he turned his head and ran to the fire, and a few companions did not sleep, and the demon sheng said breathlessly: "Oh no, there are huge humanoid animals around us watching us!" ”
"What? Huge humanoids? The people at the fire were overwhelmed by his sudden cry.
"That's right, I just saw it!" The demon boy stabilized his mind a little, and repeated it very clearly.
"You're not mistaken, are you?" Everyone asked again with suspicion.
"No, I was just about to go to the convenience when that guy jumped off the tree and ran away!" The demon life described it in detail.
"Let's go and have a look!" A few people took torches and followed the demon life, walking towards the place where the noise had just been made. Soon I found it, the place where the humanoid monster fell just now was less than ten meters away from the demon life, and so many branches were smashed down, and everyone came to the bottom of the tree with torches. A large handful of branches fell from the ground, apparently from the animal when it came down from the tree. Demon Sheng took the torch to the bottom of the tree to take a closer look, and there was a huge footprint under the branch, larger than his footprint, you must know that this generation of Atlanteans has grown to three meters, which means that the animal that fell just now is at least three meters or more. The demons were dumbfounded, he looked in the direction of the footprints again, and found a few more footprints, and could see that it was a bipedal animal, with morphological characteristics very similar to the Pekingese they had just eliminated, but it was much larger. It can be guessed from the footprints that the animal has a very long stride and a huge weight, and the demon can't help but be afraid, if that animal wants to attack him just now, I'm afraid it will kill itself without much effort, and now maybe the animal has gone back to report the news, and their group may be nearby, maybe now around this forest, a pair of evil eyes are staring at their team, waiting for an opportunity to act, turning them into a good meal. The more the demon thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he quickly ordered all the people to return the way they came, and immediately return to the glade to find the other companions.
As soon as the demons reached the glade, they saw their companions lying on the ground lying upright, and the fire had been extinguished. The demon was very startled, and he ordered the bonfire to be lit immediately to check on the situation of his companions, only to find that it was only a false alarm, and those companions had just fallen asleep because they were too tired. The demon boy asked the people who came back to wake up all the people who were asleep, and told them everything that had just happened, and now everyone was completely sleepy, and their eyes stared at the surrounding forest in horror, for fear of a sudden attack. The demon also sensed the terrifying atmosphere, and he immediately ordered all the people to raise their torches and retreat north overnight. At first, everyone was still a little disciplined, but then they didn't care about the formation, and they ran north in groups of three and five, and lost soldiers were everywhere.
It was not until the sun was high the next day that the demon sheng ran to Jinle's camp with a few soldiers, and Jinle felt a little unhappy when he saw that the demon was so embarrassed. With a reproachful tone, he asked, "Didn't you go to find intelligent beings?" Why did you run back like this? ”
"Found it!" The demon said angrily, panting.
"What did you say?" Dorin hurriedly walked over and asked.
"Found the intelligent creatures that live in this land!" The demon boy calmed down for a moment and repeated.
"Oh? Where is it? Dorin immediately asked.
"We were in the woods where we lit a fire just now, but—" The Demon Born said for a moment and hesitated.
"But what?" Kinler also came to be interested.
"But these intelligent beings are huge! More than we could have imagined! ”
"How big is that?" Dorin was also surprised.
"Probably taller than us, and even more impressively heavy!" The demon is still apprehensive.
"Chief, we should go as soon as possible to see if it's true!" Dorin turned to Kingle and said.
"I promise I'm telling the truth!" The demon said firmly.
"Well, that's good, you lead the way, let's take a look!" Kinler ordered.
"Good!" The demon sang yes and led Jinle, Dorin, and a large group of heavily armed Atlantean warriors towards the woods where the demon had lit the fire before. Demon Sheng called out to his lost companions along the way, in fact, these people didn't run far, and when they heard Demon Sheng's shout, they all ran over to gather with Demon Sheng and the others, and it didn't take long for the lost companions to come back. This surprised Dorin, who had thought that these people would suffer heavy losses if they encountered a larger group of intelligent lifeforms, but he didn't expect that none of them would come back intact. He turned to Kinler and said, "These intelligent beings don't seem to be as bloodthirsty as the dwarfs we exterminated before!" ”
"That cannibalism can't be taken lightly, maybe the cannibalistic atmosphere hasn't blown here yet, in case these giant intelligent beings are infected with the vice of cannibalism, it will cause a devastating blow to this planet!" Kingler said seriously.
"Hmm" Dorin nodded and said no more, he knew that Kinler was determined to wipe out all intelligent species on this planet that might threaten the civilization of Atlantis. The group was led by the demon to the woods where they had rested before, the bonfire had long been extinguished, the demon was carefully discerning the direction, and then led everyone into the woods, and soon they came to the big tree where the giant animal jumped from the demon life. Everything is still the same, there are several smashed branches under the big tree, and there is a large footprint in the ground, and Dorin carefully checked the size and depth of the footprint and came back to report that Kinger said: "This is a primate, it must be an intelligent life, it is a giant ape, its evolution is still relatively rudimentary, it may not have the ability to form speech and make tools, it is slightly taller than us, and it weighs twice as much!" ”
"Twice as many as us?" Kingler asked, surprised.
"Yes, maybe more!" Dorin explained.
"Then this species can't stay, otherwise it will be a great harm to us!" Kinger said firmly.
"But he didn't hurt our companions!" The demon student argued on the side.
"You know what? With such a large size and intelligent life, it is clear that they are a threat to us, and we must strike first, otherwise we may be harmed by him! Kinler said thoughtfully.
"Let's look further and maybe there's more to discover!" Dorin suggested.
"Okay!" Jinle agreed, he followed Dorin with the deployment, and continued to march south along the footprints left by the giant ape, Dorin carefully observed the footprints left by the giant ape, this guy strode big enough, it seems that he was frightened last night to stride so fast, maybe this animal is more timid, and not as bloodthirsty as the Pekingese who were eliminated before. After following the footprints for a long time, Dorin suddenly noticed a pile of excrement on the ground, and the footprints of the giant creature had stopped there. Dorin picked up a twig and picked up the dung to examine it carefully, Jinle and the demon ran away with their noses covered, and after a while Dorin also came to them.
"What did you find?" Kinger asked dismissively.
"That giant creature may be a vegetarian, and judging by his feces, he basically eats plants, without any traces of animals!" Dorin explained.
"So what?" Kinger asked.
"Maybe for the time being, this creature is not a threat to us, not to mention that their evolution is still relatively rudimentary, for the sake of the diversity of species on this planet, I think..."Dolin paused slightly.
"No, I can't leave any species that threaten us, you also said that there is no threat for the time being, who can guarantee what will happen in the future, they must be exterminated!" Kinler unceremoniously interrupted Dore's speech.
"Alright then!" Dorin knew that it was useless to discuss with Jinle, and that he had to do it. At that moment, they heard a crackling sound in the woods, as if something was beating the leaves of the tree, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and then they heard the earth trembling, and it seemed that a giant creature was walking. Kinler's subordinate troops immediately raised their vigilance, and Kinle and Dorin stopped talking, gesturing to each other, and everyone bent down and quietly leaned towards the voice. The voice was even heavier, and everyone was covering themselves with the trees, their eyes fixed on the depths of the woods, and a huge humanoid slowly appeared, he was more slow to react, and more shy, looking east and west, carefully observing everything around him.
Kinler stared at the animal for a long time, and he found that the animal seemed to be walking alone, and that it had not been a companion for so long, and now was a good time to do so, so he yelled at his subordinates: "Action! ”
"Yes" Kinler's troops agreed, and began to shoot arrows at the animals in the forest, not far apart, the animals in the forest were startled at first, and immediately dodged, and the arrows were like flying locusts, and soon the animal was hit by an arrow in the leg, and the animal screamed and turned and ran. At this time, the great ape had just learned to walk upright, and his walk was not very neat, and when he was in a hurry, he landed on all fours and limped towards the depths of the forest.
"Chase!" With a scream, Kinler ran out from behind the trees and gave chase, and his troops followed in the direction in which the wounded animal was running. The giant ape, which was not agile and large, was hit by an arrow this time, and was quickly caught by the Atlanteans. When the giant ape saw that it could not be done in the flat ground, he changed directions and ran up the mountain, but the Atlantan enemy still pursued him and soon went up the mountain as well. The giant ape was chased in a panic, and ran lifelessly on the top of the mountain, running around and running to the cliff. Below is a deep stream dozens of zhang high, a few small shrubs grow in the stone crevices, the troops of the Atlanteans are gathering towards this mountain, the giant ape is helpless, ready to go down the cliff, he jumped down from the mountain, straight to the few small shrubs, where can a few small shrubs in the cracks in the stone withstand his big weight, coupled with the momentum of the fall, a few small shrubs were uprooted, and the huge body fell down the mountain stream, falling to pieces.
Jinle ran to the top of the mountain to take a look, and the giant ape jumped down, and sneered contemptuously at the cliff: "Haha, what a little backbone!" Go down and have a look! ”
"Yes," Kinler's troops descended from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the stream, and found that the great ape had fallen to his death, with broken bones and tendons, and blood gushing from his nose and mouth. Dorin came to the corpse of the giant ape, he felt very uncomfortable, he knew that this was a herbivorous animal, that is, Jinle was bent on killing him, in fact, this was an innocent victim, this mainly stemmed from Jinle's ignorance, he thought about it and admonished: "Chief, in fact, this is a herbivorous animal, the degree of evolution is relatively low, and there is no threat to keep it!" ”
"We've already killed one, how can it end, can their companions agree, it's better to kill them all, after all, this is a primate animal, and keeping it is a threat, don't tell me about species diversity, it's all false! Or is it more realistic to eliminate the immediate threat! ”
"Alright then!" Dorin knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he had to let him go. Without Dorin's advice, Jinle was even more unscrupulous, after he brought back the giant ape that had fallen to death, he formulated a number of attack plans according to the giant ape's own weakness, and finally completely wiped out the giant ape family, 100,000 years ago, the giant ape completely disappeared from the earth, since then there is one less primate on the earth, and humans are missing an important close relative, although later many people claimed that they saw wild men and found huge footprints, but so far, these evidences are not enough to prove the existence of a species, according to the descriptions of eyewitnesses everywhere, The wild man found now is very similar to the giant ape that was extinct 100,000 years ago, although the opinions of experts in this regard are not unanimous, but the fossils of the giant ape in 100,000 years have not been found, and the wild man may be the relics left before or some beautiful misunderstandings!
After exterminating the great apes of Asia, Kinler continued westward and then broke into Africa, because they evolved in the northern latitudes and could not adapt to the dry and hot environment of Africa, so they thought that a barren and hot continent like Africa was not suitable for the survival of intelligent life, so they did not go further, but turned the spearhead and entered Europe, where they encountered a formidable opponent - Neanderthals, these people were smarter and stronger than the Pekingese, and most importantly, they would not fight in the nest. Neanderthals have accumulated rich combat experience in the process of fighting with beasts, and at the same time have a good team division of labor and cooperative spirit, even saber-toothed tigers and mammoths are their meals, naturally they will not be afraid of the Atlanteans, after several battles, the Atlanteans lost their troops, and the battle entered the stalemate stage, and the Atlanteans also felt that their war gains could not compensate for the losses of the war, so they had no choice but to withdraw to the Atlantis continent to recuperate, On the way back, in order to avoid the threat and interference brought by foreign civilizations, they burned the warships used to drift across the sea, and in the 90,000 years since then, there has been no large-scale civilizational contact between civilizations on various continents!
