In the hall, all the seats have long been removed, and a large number of mining machines are neatly placed here, but it is clear that they are not turned on.

"It's not open," Uncle Xu said, switching his real vision, "There's still a lot of dust—"

These miners haven't been turned on for a long time, but according to the power supply station, the electricity consumption here is really high......

"Uncle Xu, look at that corner." Chen Qiang said calmly.

【SC0/1D6】

[Chen Qiang's sanity test 12/35 success]

Chen Qiang didn't think there was anything scary about this thing......

"What?" Uncle Xu also set his sights there.

In the sight of the two of them, a barrel-shaped object appeared, which looked like some kind of plant.

Uncle Xu blinked.

"It'...... Is it alive? Uncle Xu asked. He had never seen anything like this before, and looked curiously at the barrel-shaped plant that grew in the corner of the stage. I saw the gray-green torso of the plant standing motionless, the five pale yellow tentacles on the head (where the lid of the barrel was located) drooping weakly, and the tentacles at the root (the bottom of the barrel) seemed to be rooted in the floor.

My old Xu has no culture, what is this?

"Uncle Xu." Chen Qiang said suddenly.

He confirmed: his other gods can launch against this guy, and the cost is slightly higher than Lao Xu's 21 points.

Well, living intelligent mythical creatures.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Xu was puzzled, "Xiao Chen, you know more than me, what is this?" ”

Chen Qiang glanced at the tip of the tentacle - the multicolored cilia was tightly covered.

【Chen Qiang Cthulhu Mythos Knowledge Test 33/55 Success】

Only when it comes to details that are difficult to recall will Chen Qiang receive a notification of the Cthulhu Mythos Knowledge Test.

In the knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos in Chen Qiang's memory......

The creature's eyes are red, iridescent crystalline spheres that grow at the tips of tentacles.

The verification was successful, and I remember correctly.

I said, do you think that if you close your eyes and pretend to be dead, I will treat you like an ordinary tree?

Even if you're really a tree, I'll have to tell the experts at the botanical garden to come and take a look at this strange tree that I've never seen before.

"Uncle Xu." Chen Qiang's voice seemed calm. He gestured to Uncle Xu, and the two of them took a few steps back together, retreating to a safe distance threatened by the plant and vines.

"Xiao Chen?"

"I have traveled to famous mountains and rivers," Chen Qiang said calmly, "I have seen this kind of ...... This kind of tree. ”

Chen Qiang had the impression that the shape of this creature was more like a sea anemone or an insect than a tree, but at this moment, it was too much like a stump to pretend to be dead, so he simply called it a tree.

"Generally this plant is aquatic and grows in the deepest and deepest trenches, but can occasionally be found on land."

"Why is this happening?" Uncle Xu was puzzled.

"It's spore reproduction, spore reproduction!" Chen Qiang said half-truthfully, "Where the spores fall, they grow there." ”

"Pretty impressive."

"No," Chen Qiang said leisurely, "it's rare, it's hard to find, and, most importantly, ......."

Chen Qiang gasped.

“…… It's also delicious. ”

w(ﾟДﾟ)w？！

The "tree" trembled unconsciously......

……

The Ancients.

That's the name of this plant race.

I don't know what they call themselves, but human researchers call them "the ancients" anyway.

The Ancients are the race in the world of Cthulhu, long before the Cambrian period, that dominated the entire earth. The overlord of the ancient earth. The vast majority of life on Earth came from their creation, including the distant ancestors of humans.

Like all the ancient civilizations in the heavens and worlds, the ancients could not find an opponent in the world, so they began to die.

Seeking mercy, they eventually succeeded in killing themselves......

The Ancients created terrifying creatures called "Shogoth" that they could not even serve themselves, and Shogoth's rebellion devastated them. The Migo from the universe and the Cthulhu Dependents, the Deep Divers, also joined the fight against the Ancients, and finally the race went extinct under the miserable state where the wall fell and everyone pushed it.

Only a handful of Ancients are hiding in the dark corners of the Earth, trembling and wary of the pursuit of the Shogoths.

The ancient one is a plant race, and the size is very large (the average size attribute is 95), but the one in front of him is about the same size as him and Uncle Xu.

Could it be that this is just a rare sight, a young ancient?

Well, a rare beast that is rare to see for living, juvenile archaeologists, and legendary investigators.

The strength of the adult body of the ancient man is stronger than that of Uncle Xu, but the one in front of him may not be. The attitude of the ancients towards the inferior race of humans may not be good, but it is not bad, at least it is much better than the enemies of the deep divers, who are backed by the evil god masters and want to counterattack human society.

……

This ancient strain is very aggrieved.

[Chen Qiang's speech 7/71 success]

It (by the way, the Ancients had no distinction between females and males) had almost exhausted its energy reserves in the portal experiments it had conducted in the morning, and it was utterly bitter in the face of the two humans now eyeing it (one of whom had not yet noticed that it was a ghoul).

It didn't know if Chen Qiang was really going to eat himself, judging from the situation of the few humans it had successfully coaxed before, it felt that this could really happen!

"This kind of tree, up and down, is a treasure," Chen Qiang pointed at the ancient, making the ancients hairy, "Its tentacles have high medicinal value, and they are so high that they don't know where they are; And his core, I'll tell you, it's a delicate job to dissect this thing......"

The Ancient: _(゚Д゚) What the hell are you going to do to me?

"It's a pity that the nutritional requirements of our race are different from those of humans," Uncle Xu said enviously, "and may not be able to eat it." ”

"I remember, Uncle Xu," Chen Qiang said with a smile, "when you eat, you occasionally like to add spices, right?" ”

"We are not savage cannibals!" Uncle Xu said, "We mainly get nutrients from carrion, but we also have culinary arts!" Listen to me, it's like stinky tofu ......"

"See that shorter red hose? Where are the cysts? ”

What do you want to do! That's someone's mouth! You savage tree-eaters! The hearts of the ancients are broken.

"See."

"Squeeze it hard and open it," Chen Qiang said seriously, "and you'll see a row of white teeth." Just pluck them off one by one and collect the pus from them......"

“%^*#$^& amp; * (Enough of you!) )

The Old Man finally couldn't take it anymore and jumped up from the ground. That's right, I'm very weak now, but if these two bold and reckless inferior races really dare to eat themselves, even if they are free, they will fight to the death!

Despite being angry, the voice of the old man was as crisp and beautiful as the sound of a flute. It has learned some Chinese words, but it is very difficult for it to use human language with its vocal organs, so it speaks its native language at the moment.

Of course, for Chen Qiang, who has a translation headset, this is not a problem.

"It moves!" Uncle Xu immediately protected Chen Qiang behind him.

"Sorry...... I don't know, you're still alive," Chen Qiang pretended to be surprised, "I don't know what you call it, but we won't hurt you." ”

Through the translation of his mobile phone, Chen Qiang's words were transformed into the melodious flute language of the ancient people.
