"Where exactly is it?" Tianxiang gasped and asked in surprise, "It's unbelievable, they actually have a city?" This was so unexpected. ”

"Strictly speaking, it can't be counted as a city anymore. At best, it's just an abandoned settlement. Speaking of this, Tianrou couldn't help but sigh softly: "As for its location, you are actually not unfamiliar with it. It's about ten kilometers outside the Western Capital. Hehe! Do you still have an image for that place? "Ten kilometers outside the western capital。。。。。。 I'm not a stranger? Tianxiang frowned slightly and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You mean, the crypt where we once lived?" ”

Tianrou smiled: "That's right! Right there. It should be near that crypt, to be exact. "How is this possible?" Tianxiang asked with a puzzled face, "It turned out to be the ruins of an ancient city. We've lived there long enough, but we've never found out that there are any humanoid cities there? ”

"Yes, there must be, but we never pay attention to it. Because, it's all around us, all around us. ”

"How is this possible? I'm afraid you're mistaken? Tianxiang remembers very well that the cave where he and his sister were located was originally a ruin that belonged to the ancient human city of Xi'an. The city inhabited by humanoids was hidden in it, and in this case, he didn't believe it at all. You know, he knows the terrain better than anyone else. Not to mention humanoids, even the number of bugs is very small. This is also the most fundamental reason why Wei She and her sister were starving to death, but they couldn't find any food.

"Absolutely not." Tianrou looked at him unusually calmly: "Their settlement is not far from our settlement at that time, and even, only a few meters away. "It can't be." Tianxiang blurted out without thinking: "What are you kidding, that crypt is an air-raid shelter left by ancient humans." I don't know how many times I've searched all the surrounding areas, and I haven't found any of the cities you're talking about. I haven't found any humanoid existence. If you were to tell the truth, I'm afraid we wouldn't be alive today. They have long been given ......"

"You're right." Tianrou suddenly interrupted him: "But." There's a place you certainly haven't searched for! Absolutely nothing! "Where?"

"Underground! Beneath the Crypt! ”

Hearing this, a confused color suddenly appeared in Tianxiang's eyes, and he only heard him mutter: "Underground? You mean...... They live underground, hiding just below us? "That's true." Tianrou nodded heavily: "Actually, when I heard the news, I reacted exactly like you. I can't imagine being so deep underground. There are still other living creatures besides bugs. Therefore, I did not have time to inform you, so I rushed to the Western Capital alone and asked the city administrator there to give me comparative help. Immediately afterward, an investigation was launched into the vicinity. ”

"What did you find?" For this matter, Tianxiang's interest is getting stronger and stronger. "A city." Tianrou's voice is not loud, but it is enough to make the listener's heart feel a strong shock.

"So, 11 and those humans, they say everything. Are they all real? ”

"Not exactly. : Sweetness replied word by word: "Actually." It was nothing more than a group dwelling that had been abandoned for hundreds of years. You should know exactly what lies beneath the crypt。。。。。。 "Beneath the crypt?" Tianxiang frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly, as if suddenly realized, jumped up: "What do you mean。。。。。。 Those ancient honest groundwater drainage systems? ”

"That's right! It is the sewer of the ancient city of Xi'an. Tianrou smiled faintly: "It's hard to imagine! Humanoids would actually use it as their colony. And. I've always lived there。。。。。。 "That's not right!" Suddenly, Tianxiang seemed to think of something, and asked in a loud voice: "According to the 11th, humanoids have existed for more than 500,000 years. However, in ancient Xi'an, it was only about a thousand years since it was recorded. What's more, the groundwater drainage system in a city was generally built six or seven hundred years ago. And you say they're still there...... It doesn't make sense in terms of time, does it? ”

"Huh! Are you misremembering? From beginning to end, I didn't say anything about finding humanoids there. I said it. It's just a humanoid colony there. Isn't it? Tianrou's eyes flashed with a sly and provocative smile. Settlements? Tianxiang couldn't help but say: "What do you mean。。。。。。 Is there empty? None of the humanoids exist? ”

Tianrou nodded affirmatively. "What the hell is going on?" Tianxiang scratched his hair puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "You said there is a tiring city there。。。。。 But no survivors were found。。。。。 It is also said that it is a sacred place of great importance to mankind。。。。。 This.... Isn't that logical? "The fact is that after digging up the ground, in an area of only a few hundred square meters, we found a large number of objects and carved objects with this statue. Numerous household utensils, hundreds of humanoid skeletons, and numerous stone carvings carved into the surrounding slabs。。。。。。 And also... This thing. ”

As she spoke, Tianrou lowered her head and untied a beautiful necklace from her smooth neck. Unscrew the round pendant and remove a small square object. Tianxiang took this mysterious object from his sister's hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. The application on his face changed from initial curiosity to a little trance and doubt。。。。。。 Eventually, the muscles also began to tremble, and the body was shaking. The brilliance in his eyes also became sharp and nervous。。。。。。

"This... This thing。。。。。。 Is it true? He slowly raised his head and asked his sister in a trembling voice. Tianrou gave an affirmative expression rather helplessly. "It can't be! When pigs fly! Tianxiang muttered as if he was a stumbling word: "How can there be such a thing。。。。。。 Could it be that all the words of those mutants are true? Could it be said. Did they really live on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years? "I don't know。。。。。 But. Judging from the things recorded here,。。。。。。 It should be real. Tianrou replied helplessly, "I guess it should indeed be the gathering point of humanoids. It is unknown why they lived there for a long time, until all of them died completely. I really don't know how they survived there from the eyes of the ancients。。。。。 If it weren't for the coincidence of various circumstances, I'm afraid that it would not have been discovered at all. In fact...... Maybe even those intelligent ancient humans didn't realize that in fact, humanoids have been living around them since recorded times in history? "It was a square pendant made of gold. There is a beautiful and delicate rose on it. It looks like it's made by hand. In terms of craftsmanship alone, it has been quite perfect.

Tianxiang struggled to suppress the horror in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked in the calmest tone possible, "Why do you say that?" "What is the most important characteristic of humanoids? I'm talking about ordinary humanoids, not the kind of mutated breed. Instead of answering his question directly, Tianrou gave another question first.

"To talk about characteristics。。。。。。 Beast-headed human body, of course. Tianxiang thought for a moment and replied.

"So. In the ancient history books you've read. Are there any people who have such characteristics? Tianrou continued to ask. Which races? It seems like a lot。。。。。。 Although this question was a little inexplicable, Tianxiang still thought about it seriously.

"Be specific."

"Hmmm! From time immemorial。。。。。。 In Egypt in Africa, there is a legend of Anubis in the tomb of the hammer. In Greek legends, there are also records of the Minotaur the Minotaur. Among the Indians of ancient America, there were also bears and leopards. Even China's "Classic of Mountains and Seas". There are also many records of orcs。。。。。。 ”

PS: In the first paragraph, the word "place" in "such a problem" should be replaced by "of"

In the sixth paragraph, the "land" in the "leopard people's land" should also be changed to "of" personal opinion for reference only! "You don't think there's anything to do with that?"

"Related?" Tianxiang couldn't help frowning: "Your consciousness is。。。。。。。 "According to humanoids, they have been living on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years. Then, judging from the accumulated knowledge and civilization, it must be much richer than that of human beings. According to the records of human society, Egypt, Greece, and China are all the birthplaces of civilization in the history of human beings on earth. Correspondingly. The legends about the beast-headed people are also most numerous in these countries. Especially in ancient Egypt, the tomb god Anubis of the wolf-headed man, Toto the bird-headed man, and the sphinx Sphinx...... These beast-headed people were in the minds of the ancient Egyptians at that time, and they were basically in the position of gods. Not only do they occupy all the documents and frescoes, but it is said that near Cairo, the capital of ancient Egypt, there was once a huge sphinx carved out of stone."" Your consciousness is 。。。。。。 Humanoids, who once helped ancient humans。。。。。 Even, being regarded as an object of worship by them? Tianxiang really can't believe such a theory. After all, in his mind, this beast-headed man was simply the embodiment of murder and bloodthirstiness. "It's entirely possible." Tianrou replied affirmatively: "Think about it, 500,000 years is enough for too many things to happen. In contrast, human beings, who only have a history of civilization of thousands of years, will inevitably worship humanoids who have entered civilization. After all, in order to survive, to reproduce, to be able to better fight against nature, human beings will definitely use all means to obtain all kinds of things they want from humanoids. In order to achieve this goal, ancient humans even did not hesitate to exchange their lives for it. In the case of Anubis, this wolf-headed monster turned out to be the most mysterious of them to induce death. It is conceivable that the ancient humans at that time had reached a certain level of fear and respect for humans. At this time, a very strange thought spontaneously arose in Tianxiang's heart. He suddenly discovered that all the beast-headed people recorded in ancient classics were all "gods" in human legends.

"I don't know how they infiltrated human society and were recognized. However, such a thing is scary to think about. The various animals that were supposed to be used as food for humans have become objects of worship. And it has an unparalleled status。。。。。。 This kind of thing. If it were you now, would you do this? "No, of course not." Tianxiang blurted out his answer without even thinking about it.

"For things that they have no way of knowing, people can only express their inner fears in their own way. Therefore, in the ancient society of human beings, it had a quite noble status. In order to satisfy these beings who resemble themselves, human beings. There was a considerable price to pay. "Sacrifice of the living. This term should not be unfamiliar to you? ”

Of course, Tianxiang is no stranger, in fact, he used to be quite familiar with it. After all, in ancient human history, such things happened too many times. From the beginning of various natural phenomena to the subsequent desire for good weather, human sacrifice has been used throughout almost the entire history of mankind. Except for those beliefs that are indeed caused by natural causes, the rest. Almost all of them are associated with various orcs. And these human beings who were sacrificed. The final fate is all to be used as a snack by the beast-headed people, torn alive. The Sphinx the Sphinx uses riddles for the passers-by, eating those who can't guess the answer. The Minotaur was banished in a labyrinth, and the things he loved. It's a young woman. There are also all kinds of beast-headed and human monsters in Chinese legends, all of which regard living people as food. All of this, compared to those brutal and murderous humanoids, is so similar. "They've always been there in human society." Tianrou's voice sounded again: "Do you remember the legend of the werewolf that was once popular in ancient European and American countries? That should be the most significant representative of humanoids entering human society. I suspect that it must be a representative of the highest intelligence among the humans. The best example of using such legends to hide people's eyes and ears and achieve the best example of successfully blending into human society. After all, in the documents that have survived to this day, it seems that ancient humans did not find large-scale living humans. Yes, only a few or isolated exceptions. "In other words, that's how those guys who hide in the sewers of the city escape the eyes of humans. Successfully hide yourself in the closest place to humans, but there is no way to detect it. Is that so? Tianxiang said involuntarily.

"That's how it should be. After all, from "Tianrou nodded. He immediately frowned: "It's just that there is a question that I still can't guess." And the items I found in the humanoid city don't give any explanation for that. ”

"What's the problem?" Tianxiang Qidao. "Time!"

"When?" "Remember? 11 has said that, according to the humanoids, they have been alive on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years. Moreover, judging from all the legends of ancient humanoids, the civilization and technology they possessed at that time should have reached a fairly high level. But, judging by the group of humanoids you've captured, they're just learning how to use copper and iron. The whole state of society is still in a rather backward primitive stage. On the one hand, it is the ancestor who is worshiped as a god by humans, and on the other hand, it is a humanoid in the period of slash-and-burn farming. With such a huge contrast, don't you think there's something wrong with it? "Of course there is a problem." Tianxiang hurriedly replied: "In fact, even if you don't say it, I will ask like this." It's so weird that it doesn't make sense at all. It has a civilization that far surpasses human beings, but it has to mix with human society. This in itself is something that cannot be explained. Not to mention such a large civilizational fault. But...... This reminds me of something. ”

"What's the matter?" Tianrou asked. Tianxiang didn't speak, but was silent for a long time, and then said in a tone that even he couldn't believe: "Do you think that our current situation is compared to those ancients..... What's the difference? ”

"We? The ancients? Tianrou was a little inexplicable: "Of course it's different!" They are destroyed human beings with knowledge and civilization. And we are just a group of "hunters" who inherit their legacy. Of course there is a difference. To know..... Wait a minute..... What do you mean..... Oh, my God! ..... That's impossible... No way! "It's entirely possible. Anything is possible. Tianxiang said with a gloomy face: "I have been thinking about this since just now. Are humanoids, like us, the survivors who remain in this world after civilization is destroyed? ”。
