Chapter 690: Pamir and Buzhou Mountain, Sumeru Mountain and the World Tree
The bronze battle axe used by the Assyrian giant should mean that this guy's original status was not low. Because most of the people who owned the bronzes were high-ranking members of the tribe. Of course, it could also be his trophies, or picked up.
The Bronze Age in China was around 2,000 B.C., which is evidenced by the need to find corresponding mines for copper mining and furnaces for smelting bronze. But this time Zhang Fan's trip to the ancient flood of the world found that this inference was pushed forward at least nearly a thousand years, and even before the earlier flood, there were bronze utensils in use!
This somewhat subverts the historical knowledge that Zhang Fan has learned, and it is impossible to deceive people in the scene of the precept holder. Perhaps it is the evidence that this flood has submerged many of history! Zhang Fan thought to himself. The bookdemon also fell into a bit of confusion.
On the parchment book in front of the book demon, a general range was established. According to the woman's description, she should live in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, or in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, which is more likely. Then their two teleportations, the second time was supposed to go back, but they were teleported in the opposite direction.
If we compromise the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the gathering place of the Assyrians, the place where the team is now located should be in the northwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, near the Pamir Plateau.
"Well, the biggest here is probably the Pamirs. Because of the deviation of the second teleportation, the distance will be relatively closer, and this is the Pamir Plateau, or the northeastern part of Afghanistan is the most likely! "The map in the bookdemon page zooms in on an area." However, the topography of Shijie more than 8,000 years ago is somewhat different from the modern one, and it is not easy to infer accurately......
"Hehe, we have to fly into space to be able to locate it accurately." Akon smiled, "But don't be so troublesome, now that you have this teleportation array, you can just teleport directly to that woman's house!" ”
Zhang Fan frowned, and said with some worry: "But do you know if her house has been flooded, and we will pass it directly at the bottom of a lake, then there will be a drama to watch." ”
Akon patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, your Master Zhang Fan's luck is very high, you won't carry it like this!" ”
Zhang Fan was very cautious, "It's better to be careful, let's explore this place first, anyway, the food is enough to last for a while." The terrain here is so high that it should not have been flooded, and there will be prey. ”
"There will be monster ......, too," Akon said helplessly.
They called the woman again and carefully inquired about the situation in the area where she and her brother had taken refuge. The woman couldn't say clearly, except for digging a hole in the ground and building a thatched hut near the rune array that teleported here, they didn't leave very far. The weather has not been very good, and such a plateau area is actually rainy and rainy. Fortunately, the rain is not very heavy, and they can sometimes catch a few game in the vicinity to satisfy their hunger.
It seemed that he couldn't ask anything, and Zhang Fan Aken was very discouraged. Although they always felt that this woman seemed to be hiding something from herself, if she didn't say it, you couldn't do anything. But fortunately, the woman's hometown in the Huaxia area is a cottage, although it is not very high, but it will never be flooded into a lake.
So, Akon asked Zhang Fan Shudemon and the woman to carve a talisman here, and Goblin Yoda assisted together. Decide for yourself to look around and see if you will find something. Or you can catch some game and come back to replenish some food. Now that the population is large, especially the Assyrian giant, who is simply a big rice bucket, such a partner has always made Akon hesitate whether to do it or not. It's too food-consuming! It is also a high anti-blood length, not as good as Willis, as long as you add some spiritual power, you can fight. I wonder if that 'Tyrant Dornier' will become such a teammate in the future......
After leaving the team, Akon drove Willis all the way, and the reason why he didn't ride the wooden kite was that the target was too obvious in the air, and it was too difficult to avoid in case of any danger. In this ancient scene, the ghost knows what kind of monster will appear. He didn't bring any companions with him, because the rune was too much in need of defense.
Moreover, Dark Sakura and Yao Ji are also responsible for collecting some wild vegetables and the like around them, in this sparsely populated scene, and encountering this world-destroying flood, food is really a big problem! If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Fan never left even the gray supplies he got, this expedition would probably starve to death on the road!
Well, when it comes to the populated scene in the future, you still have to prepare a lot of supplies, even if you just save them. What's more important is water, in this scene, because there is a flood, so it's not too lacking. It would have been funny if that time had been transferred to the desert scene. And there are no props that can be taken out of the scene storage for water. It can only be accessed on-site. Satsuma's water magic is just the ability of spiritual power to transform the water system, and it is not drinking water. But it's strange that the fire can really burn and cook......
Akon took a bottle of wine from the space and thought as he drank it. This is the only supply item that can be used as a water supply. There is still an endless plateau meadow in front of you, and nothing seems to have changed. Willis didn't drive very fast, and with his intelligence, he didn't want to leave the camp too far, and in case of any emergency, he would have time to flee back.
"It's a lot like the Pamirs—" Akon sighed, the plateau here was too similar to the feeling of marching on the plateau in that Tang scene, and even the wind blowing on his body was so cool. Willis felt that way, too, and the grass here made his tires feel comfortable, similar to the one in that scene.
…………
"It's a lot like the Pamir Plateau......" Zhang Fan looked into the distance, a little nostalgic for the fighting years at the Tang Border Pass.
The book demon flew over and landed in his hands, "Do you know what the Pamir Plateau is? ”
Zhang Fan smiled: "Of course I know, it is a gathering place for several Shijie-level mountain ranges on this Eurasian continent. The Kunlun Mountains on the northern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Himalayas on the southern edge, and the Gangdisi, Tanggula, and Karakoram mountain ranges that traverse the plateau along the east-west direction converge here. It's like several strands tied into a knot, known as the 'Pamir Knot'...... Well, in ancient China, it was also called 'Buzhou Mountain', and legend has it that after being broken by Gonggong, it caused a flood that destroyed the world......"
When Zhang Fan said this, his mind suddenly became chaotic, as if he had caught something...... 'Buzhou Mountain'! 'The Flood of Destruction'! He looked back at the ancient Chinese woman, and doubts filled his heart......
The ancient woman not far away was sitting quietly on the grass, looking into the distance with blank eyes......
The book demon continued: "In Norse mythology, there is a Shijie tree, which is very tall and supports the entire human Shijie, the Shijie of the gods, and even the Shijie after death......
Zhang Fan's attention was attracted, "Well, this is similar to Mount Meru in the Buddhist scriptures......"
The book demon said: "I suspect that this so-called 'shijie tree' is very likely to be a huge mountain, and this Pamir plateau is a knot of mountains, very similar to this 'shijie tree'......"
…………
Willis was a little bored, and driving aimlessly on the plateau like this was very spiritually draining. Akon seemed to have drunk a little too much, and was dozing off in a daze. This vast plateau meadow stretches as far as the eye can see, making people inevitably bored and sleepy.
Suddenly, Akon felt the ground shake, and he was alert, could it be that there are giant earthworms here? Before Willis could stop, the ground suddenly collapsed, like a giant trap. Looking down from the sky, it turned out to be centered on the Akan car, and a whole piece of ground collapsed. Beneath the surface is a bottomless cavern!
Arkon screamed and fell, and Willis flipped in the air, transforming into a dark blue warrior. The master and servant fell into the bottomless abyss. Akon was desperate to find that the team communication could not be contacted!
Akon was falling, and when he looked up, the big hole with a radius of hundreds of meters was rapidly becoming smaller, which showed that either he was falling fast, or the ground was closing! The sky at the entrance of the cave became smaller and smaller, like a bright moon in the dark sky. And Akon found himself still falling, a real fall from the sky......
It's been falling down for more than ten minutes, and it's not even going to the end, is this really a bottomless pit? It was pitch black all around, only the moon-like entrance at the top of the cave, but it was no longer smaller. This makes Akon very strange, he is falling, the hole should be smaller, why does it really seem to be the moon in the sky?
Although it was dark all around, there was wind, like the wind in the sky, fast and strong, blowing the falling Aken, whose clothes were clinging to his body, grinning.
This endless fall, as if there is no end! Akon's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he realized that the cave was actually a very vast shijie. It's dark, but it's boundless! At the end of the stretch, a giant tree towers to the sky, this giant tree is like a majestic mountain, the foundation is majestic and firm, as if it is the pillar of this shijie, once it falls, the whole shijie will also collapse! And beyond that tree, there is a vast void!
The height of the giant tree is indescribable, because even its nine jagged branches, each of which seems to support a wonderful shijie, and each leaf is like a bright planet, and the branches are spreading nebulae. Three root systems, like endless mountain ranges, support the main trunk, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, endless! Around the giant tree, there are colorful smoke clouds, ethereal around the giant tree, flashing with a little starlight, beautiful.
Akon was fascinated by the magnificence of the giant tree, and in a trance, he had fallen to the ground. Akon got up from the ground, his head dazed, and called out a few times to Willis, but there was no response. He patted his clothes and looked at the shijie, there was nothing but the tree, Akon took a breath and walked towards the giant tree.
