ACT126: Remains of the "Ancient Man".
The so-called "ancient people" was first put forward by some elven scholars, who found in some ancient books that the ancient elves had been in contact with some "round-eared people" before the outbreak of the "Great Recession", and the other party had a civilization level far beyond the elves at that time, and the elves at that time also developed rune technology soon after they came into contact with them.
Therefore, these elven scholars boldly speculate that the ancient people not only existed, but also gave them enlightenment.
In this conjecture, the elves were not the first to become the pioneers of the intelligent race, and there were some "ancient people" who were almost identical in appearance to modern humans before them. They played a role akin to the evolution of the elves until they suddenly mysteriously disappeared.
Most elves scoff at this conjecture, but it is quite marketable in the field of human archaeology and is sought after by many scholars. Because once this conjecture is confirmed to be true, and humans are the direct descendants of ancient people, then their rank in the intelligent race can leap from "crane tail" to "leader", and their vanity will definitely be satisfied.
In order to prove this conjecture, human beings even did not hesitate to offer tribute to the heavenly realm for verification, but the attitude of the gods was quite ambiguous, they unceremoniously took the tribute, but neither admitted nor denied the questions of human beings, which invisibly put a veil of mystery on the "ancient people", and also made mortals have infinite reverie about it, and once again proved the world-class truth that "gods are all cheats".
There is no doubt that Lytis is also a strong supporter of this conjecture, so when she learns that there are many strange ancient buildings in the middle of the island, she immediately thinks of the ancient people, and she must go in and collect evidence anyway. Weiss, on the other hand, thought that there might be something about the cause of the low magic phenomenon near the island, so he didn't object to it.
Adele, who was temporarily away from the team, was led back to the team by an owl that night. She has reported the discovery of the bugs on the island to the Blue Grace. The captain immediately found some dwarven passengers, hoping that they would go to the island to persuade the little bugmen to go with them to Nakapansu when the Blue Grace was rescued.
The captain felt that if he could bring this lost race back, he might be able to offset his fault in the wreck of his first voyage, and Adele, after returning to the island, only led the dwarven representatives to the city of the little bugmen, and turned to chase after his team.
But what she didn't expect was that she had only been away for half a day, and Weiss had turned into a beautiful assassin lady on this desert island, and the other party's clear and pure eyes didn't look like a bad person, but Weiss smiled like a villain, and until the next morning, he still had a silver ~ face, which made Lena a little unbearable.
"Hey~!If you don't want to scare our new companion away, you'd better restrain your lewd smirk. Why didn't I see you happy when I joined?"
The reason why Weiss is so happy is that on the one hand, the assassin is very powerful while being rare, and on the other hand, because the other party is a beautiful girl, it can be said that it is "easy to use" in every sense. Although Weiss didn't expect to recruit a team of all beautiful girls, now, he has a good hope of achieving this goal.
Led by the newly joined island wind, the group marched along the ridge to the island, and soon came to a gray valley. Shimakaze told everyone that the complex was in a small valley, and those gray things were spider webs, and the entire valley was almost full of their nests, and Rao Shishimakaze, a skilled ninja like Shimakaze would not dare to set foot easily.
"What now? Shall we just stand here and see, or will we find some way to get in and find out?"
"Of course it's trying to find a way to get in!
"Then my scholar, can you find a way to keep those spiders from biting us?"
The crowd had already confirmed when they were attacked before, and the insect repellent spray they brought was completely ineffective against these swarm-living spiders, and if the smoke was used to disperse it, although the valley was not large, the area was far from small. At this time, Lytis thought that it would be nice to have a few sets of alien flamethrowers, and it would definitely be the easiest way to burn them all the way.
"How about we make smoke bombs? I think the island wind was very good when he saved us. ”
Ling Lan remembered the smoke bombs that Island Wind had thrown when they were first trapped in a spider's web, so she took the initiative to propose it to her companions, but Weiss shook his head and said.
"I'm afraid not, this valley is not small, and we don't have that many smoke bombs at all. ”
"Wouldn't we be able to drop the smoke bomb at our feet?"
“......”xn
As soon as Ling Lan's words came out, everyone else present except Dao Feng instantly cast surprised eyes on her, making Ling Lan involuntarily think that she had said something wrong again. But the truth was exactly what she thought, and everyone was surprised that she actually came up with a very feasible idea. Before, all they thought about was how to drive the spider colony away from the valley, but in fact, it was enough for them to drive the spiders away from their side.
"I will make smoke bombs in the next place, which is very simple, and I guarantee that I will be able to learn it as soon as I learn it. ”
As soon as they said it, everyone quickly found materials that could make simple smoke bombs, and then under the technical guidance of Daofeng, it took more than 2 hours to make more than 100 of them. In order to achieve double insurance, Litis also made a few fires for smoke at the upwind outlet of the valley, then took out a small bottle, carefully poured out a few pink mutant cat mushrooms from it, and threw one into a fire.
"These mutant cat mushrooms are enhanced versions of the normal cat mushrooms, and the smoke from burning them should have a calming effect on the spiders, making them more honest. ”
Several fires were soon ignited, and large puffs of smoke were carried into the valley by the wind, and soon dispersed. The people in gas masks followed, and after entering the range of the spiders' nests, they lit the wire-covered portable smoke bombs, and the spiders did not dare to approach them, and soon they found that the spiders had begun to eat their own kind.
"How did these spiders kill each other?"
"No, it's not cannibalism, it's the larger female spiders eating the smaller males, but the males deliver them to the door themselves, and they ...... They're mating!"
The phenomenon in front of her made Lytis realize that the effect of the mutated cat mushrooms did not seem to be the powerful sedatives she had imagined, but instead had some very bad new effects. This made the spiders in the valley completely ignore the human invaders in front of them, and rushed to start the breeding business, and the female spiders did not have to worry about the food ration problem for a while.
Avoiding spiders that resemble a dinner party more than a "group of friends", the group manages to approach the buildings in the middle of the valley. When Weiss got closer, he found that the buildings were all concrete, but the style was very close to the earth style, and there were even a few decaying parking sheds not far away. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many spiders over there, Weiss would even want to come over and see if there were planes inside.
"It doesn't seem like it's a relic of some ancient man, unless ......"
Weiss didn't dare to say any more, he actually had a premonition that the ancient people might be the earthlings who had crossed over in the early days, but he never dared to tell the other companions, because he couldn't explain why he knew this.
Like the vast majority of traversers, Weiss also kept his identity secret, and they also consciously did not reveal the identity of Emperor Chen Long. After all, the other party does have its awesomeness, as long as you know the history, you know how primitive human beings were at that time, and Chen Long was stunned to train a group of monkeys to look like people in 20 years, Weiss felt that under the same conditions, he could not do the same performance as the emperor.
Fortunately, the attention of the other companions was either focused on the building or the nearby spider colony, and no one heard Weiss's self-talk. Lytis walked quickly to the building that looked like the main building, reached out and knocked on the heavy iron door, and then folded her hands to Wendy on the side.
"Wendy, can you open the door for me?" )
