Chapter 292: Helios, the Sun God (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

Chu Nan has been in a state of high vigilance, this voice entered his ears, his heart was shocked, he turned his head suddenly, and saw that in the depths of the canyon, there was a human being in tattered clothes, who was holding hands and feet, and wanted to look out, when Chu Nan noticed him, he was stunned, and he also showed a shocked face, obviously also saw Chu Nan.

Immediately after, he raised his fingers, put them in front of his mouth, and made a gesture to tell Chu Nan not to speak.

Chu Nan looked at him with a strange look on his face.

Because he couldn't sense that this man in tattered clothes had the breath of life inscription.

This is not a child of the earth.

Chu Nan quickly understood that this human man in tattered clothes was only afraid that he was a native of this nameless island.

Not feeling that kind of crisis and threat, Chu Nan nodded slowly, did not speak, and slowly walked towards the depths of the canyon.

The man in tattered clothes beckoned to Chu Nan, and it seemed that he was also a little excited because he saw Chu Nan.

Although he didn't sense any danger in this man, Chu Nan was still more cautious and quietly took out the wolf smoke bottle, just in case.

Seeing Chu Nan approaching, the man spoke carefully.

It's just that Chu Nan can't understand the language that came out.

"What language is this?" Chu Nan replied in a low voice, and the man quickly switched to English.

This time, Chu Nan understood, although the man's English was not very fluent, it did not affect the communication between the two sides.

"Why do you have access to Rhodes? How did you get in? ”

Hearing this man's question, Chu Nan was slightly stunned, and communicated in English: "This is not a nameless island? Is this called Rhodes? ”

Rhodes Island. Chu Nan is no stranger. I couldn't help but say, "So." The sea, is it the Aegean Sea? ”

The man nodded and sighed slightly, "Yes, the homeland of the gods of Olympus. ”

The ruins of the Greek island of Rhodes, as Chu Nan once learned, were influenced by the Cretans, and with the disintegration of the Minoan culture, it became a powerful independent kingdom with the Late Bronze Age. Later, it was ruled by Byzantium, used as a recuperation and supply port by various Crusaders, and after 1523 it was ruled by Turkey, fell to Italy in 1912, and belonged to Greece in 1947.

Now that I think about it, the man just now should have spoken Greek at first, so Chu Nan couldn't understand it.

Because Jubi on Rhodes mostly speaks Greek, but some of them also speak English.

The most famous of the Aegean island of Rhodes is undoubtedly the Colossus of the Sun God, one of the Eight Wonders of the World.

Legend has it that it was completed in 282 BC. It is a bronze statue of Helios, the Greek god of the sun, about 33 years high. However, 56 years after the casting of the colossus was completed, it was destroyed in an earthquake BC.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan was shocked, because according to the legend, the bronze statue of the sun god Helios was very similar to the bronze statue of those who were chasing and killing the son of the earth, and the height of the bronze god statue was also more than thirty meters.

It's just that the legendary Colossus has been destroyed, and, even if it is not destroyed, how can there be several?

"Is that bronze statue the bronze statue of the legendary sun god Helios? Why is it still there? And, how many are there? Chu Nan couldn't help but ask.

The tattered man shook his head and said, "Come with me first, not just a few, but a total of twelve." ”

Chu Nan took a deep breath.

On the way to the end of the canyon, I saw some caves, and there were many people gathered in the caves.

These people all looked very wolf, they looked like they had yellow muscles, like Yan zhòng lacked nutrition, and when they saw Chu Nan, their eyes seemed to be on fire.

Chu Nan understood that it was the light of hunger.

"You are all natives of this Rhodes Island?" Chu Nan asked.

"Yes, some of the survivors have fled here, and although the false gods are patrolling around, they haven't found us yet." The man smiled bitterly: "Around Rhodes Island, it seems to be blocked by an invisible shield, we can't leave here, we can only be scared day and night, outsiders, we want to know, how did you get in?" Well, you must also know how to get out. ”

Many people gathered and looked at them with hopeful eyes.

Chu Nan looked at them and found that this Rhodes Island was a little weird, here, it seemed that there was no Gaia Monument, no Life Inscription and the birth of the Children of the Earth, but they were isolated by an invisible force, so although these people had terrifying bronze statues rampant, they could only hide here.

But this is not a long-term solution, and the food problem alone has already affected them severely.

However, Chu Nan understood that he was destined to disappoint them, because their sons of the earth were teleported in by Gaia's consciousness, and if they left, they would also be teleported away directly, and these people in front of him were like being abandoned by Gaia's consciousness.

"We are sent in by a force, to be exact, the consciousness of this earth itself, the consciousness of Gaia." Chu Nan paused, and continued: "If you want to leave, I'm afraid that you need to destroy those bronze gods, oh, is the pseudo-god you just said the bronze god statues?" ”

"Yes, they are imitations of the real sun god Helios, this island has been ruled by many powers, each ruler has felt the divinity here, to depict the power of this god in bronze colossus, whether it is Mausolus, Alexander the Great, Arabs, or Dorians, or Byzantium, and Saracens, or Turkey, Italy, or Greece, a total of twelve bronze colossi of the sun god Helios."

"Of course, after the return of Alexander the Great, the most famous of them, the island of Rhodes fell into battle, and the Macedonian invader Dmitry led an army of 40,000 troops to surround it, and then after a bitter war, the people of Rhodes defeated the invaders, and in order to celebrate this victory, they used the bronze weapons abandoned by the enemy to build a statue of the sun god, only this bronze colossus across the port of Rhodes leading to the Mediterranean port, has divinity, only this is the statue of the sun god Helios, the rest, They can only be some false gods. ”

Chu Nan listened to these legends, smiled slightly bitterly, the legendary statue of the sun god wore a crown of sun rays, held a divine whip in his left hand, a high torch in his right hand, and stood on the stone pedestal of Shuros Harbor with two feet, and the ships could enter and exit from under his crotch, but what he thought in his heart was that this bronze colossus with divinity was destroyed in the earthquake, but those pseudo-god colosses were retained, and they came to life in this era of global mutation and evolution.

Is this also a form of divinity?

"Whether it's a statue of a true god or a statue of a false god, the important thing now is to find a way to defeat them and get out of here." Chu Nan looked at the people in front of him, these people are all natives of Rhodes Island, and they know far more about these bronze colossias than themselves, but looking at their current appearance, I am afraid that they have no ability to deal with the bronze colossus at all, as for what divinity or something, of course Chu Nan does not believe it.

He has always been an atheist, and still has been.

"It's impossible for us to knock down those statues, unless we ......," the man said this, when he suddenly closed his mouth, and the faces of the other people around him showed fear, and there was a sudden silence around them.

Chu Nan didn't speak either, because everyone sensed the shaking of the earth.

It was the vibration caused by the bronze giant walking on the ground.

"Boom-"

Another tremor came, and the sound was very close to everyone.

Everyone didn't even dare to breathe, and felt the fear of suffocation.

"Boom-"

"Boom—"

There was a loud vibration one after another, but the sound slowly faded away.

A bronze colossus that once came infinitely close to this place, but eventually, it was gone.

Listening to the departing voice fade away, everyone let out a long breath.

Chu Nanxun asked, "How many survivors like you are there on this island?" ”

"There should be quite a few, but everyone has found a hidden place to hide."

Chu Nan snorted, guessing that more than 200,000 sons of the earth were teleported here, and after the initial chaos and killing, gradually there should be many sons of the earth hiding like him.

These bronze colossias should not have a good sense of ability, at least they haven't noticed anyone hiding here just now.

It's just, do you want to hide here for half a month? Until the end of this mission?

"I don't know what kind of power is teleporting you in, but I think you're being teleported into this isolated island of Rhodes to save the island." The man in tattered clothes said: "As you said, the Gaia consciousness that sent you in, Gaia, in Greek mythology, is the mother of the gods, and the sun god Helios is the child of Hyperion in the Twelve Titans, and Hyperion is the son of Gaia and Ouranos, and it is because of this relationship that you are teleported in by Gaia's consciousness. ”

Chu Nan smiled bitterly, thinking that the so-called Gaia consciousness and the Gaia in Greek mythology represent two completely different meanings.

Gaia consciousness refers to a common consciousness formed by the global biosphere on the earth, and even directly the earth itself, the reason why it is called Gaia consciousness is just named after Gaia, the mother of the gods in Greek mythology.

Because Gaia happens to be the goddess of the earth in legend, which is used as a metaphor for the earth.

So this Gaia is not what Gaia means as represented in Greek mythology.

Chu Nan felt a little inexplicable, and just looked at the people in front of him: "We have more than 200,000 people who have been teleported in, but no one is the opponent of these bronze colosses, maybe, what do you know that can help us?" After all, as long as you defeat these bronze colossius, you can also be saved. ”

Everyone shook their heads, and the man said, "No, it's useless to just knock down these bronze colossias because...... This island is sinking. ”

Chu Nan was stunned for a moment, instinctively looking outside, only to find that his vision was blocked by the canyon.
