"Yinluo, the ceremony has begun, come with me to receive the blessing of the Mother Snake"

The old woman's voice came from the throat of the old woman in the gray-white priest's robe, with the white hair on top of her head curled into twelve snake braids, like a hoarse sound like a scrub, marking her unusually advanced lifespan.

Behind him are all female islanders, or there is no second gender here, and these people are dressed in similar clothes to Tussa Inro, all of which have no "sense of shame".

Tussa Yinluo lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, with a quiet smile, completely different from the previous liveliness, as if she had completely accepted her fate.

In this regard, even High Priest Martha seemed a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times, wanting to see if this deviant child was playing some tricks.

However, after several confirmations, it was found that she was really nothing special, and she was very obedient to follow them out of the moon cave where she was imprisoned, and honestly follow them to participate in the rituals that were taking place on the island.

The rings that bound her were also removed from her hands and feet, and were taken back by the high priest.

More than a dozen equally young women, dressed in specially shaped banners sewn from the skins of unknown animals, were held high and crossed over her head, and the falling crystal pendants glittered in the sunlight with an inexplicable sense of sacredness.

This special treatment is only possessed by the Chosen Gospel, with the High Priest himself leading the way, accompanied by the rituals, and a variety of exotic metal instruments playing to a tune that is completely different from the modern human aesthetic.

After everyone left the moon cave, a hidden figure jumped out of it, and then instantly disappeared into the dense island jungle, followed by it, silently like the most clever stalker.

Walking through the primeval jungle millions of years ago, Li Heng looked at the advancing procession, looked at the island with strong religious colors, and there were all kinds of totem carvings of half-man and half-snake, and the semi-circular or stone or earth-made buildings sat on the ground in a ring.

"There are no traces of production, no traces of animal husbandry, no traces of large-scale cultivation, not even obvious food processing areas......"

This does not conform to the normal form of human settlement, even if there is no civilization, a normal human settlement will have the main traces of production, even the primitive tribes on the hidden islands hanging overseas know how to domesticate some animals and plants, replenish the survival materials.

There is no such structure here, as if it doesn't need any business or materials to survive.

Remembering some of the information that Tussa Inlo said earlier, it seems that all the survival materials here are provided by the "Mother Snake", and every year on the birthday of the blessed ceremony, the messenger of the Mother Snake will bring a large amount of food, water, and all kinds of supplies, and then distribute them to all the people on the island of Alulu through the priests.

This is the gift of the Mother Serpent.

The man who was blessed to the island did not have to engage in any productive activities, no farming, no grazing, no salt, no weaving...... All the necessary resources are given by the Mother Serpent, and are more than enough for the people of the island to survive.

As long as the cycle of complete blessing is followed by the "Mother Snake", there will be no shortage of resources here.

However, the materials were not abundant to the extent that the people on the island could do whatever they wanted, and Li Heng rarely saw large tools, on the one hand, they didn't need them, and on the other hand, because there were no corresponding raw materials.

The last time Tussa Inro crossed the water, he secretly got it from the priest.

"Well, if you look like this, it feels like it's really an idyllic era."

"It's like the legendary paradise, although it doesn't have everything, but it does have no worries about survival, and all the price is just to worship the 'snake mother'."

"The perfect way of life, I'm afraid many young people today dream of life"

He said secretly in his heart.

And as far as the eye can see, all the people on the island are women, and basically everyone is dressed in very simple clothes like Tussaud Inro, with a large area of bare skin, and the climate here is still tropical, and there is no need for even slightly thicker cloth.

He also saw some of the Alulu with bulging bellies, no doubt the "blessed islanders" who had been blessed with the "seed of life" given by the "Mother Serpent".

And Li Heng also found that the other people on the island have a special respect for these blessed people, except for the priests, everyone shows respect and courtesy to these gospel people, and the food is also given priority to them, and they will be humbled to get out of the way when they meet on the road.

This is not out of the morality of caring for pregnant women, but more like a certain kind of rule, and the blessed person has a superior status.

Combined with what Tussaud Inro said before, the gift of the Mother of Serpents is bound to the blessing ceremony, that is to say, those material resources are given to these "gospel people", and the others are just dipped in the light and enjoy the surplus blessings, so they naturally enjoy absolute priority rights, and will be treated and served by everyone on the whole island.

"It's the world's best confinement center."

Li Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't know what this "confinement center" was used to pay.

After observing it, he felt that there was no more information to be obtained, Li Heng did not stay too much in the residential area on this island, he quickly disappeared into this jungle and headed towards the edge of the island.

Tussa Inro had already been brought there, and the ceremony was about to take place.

And if they stay here for too long, they are also easily exposed, and these people of Alulu Island have an unusually keen sense, perhaps related to their innate ability to bioelectricity.

The breeze from the lake blows across the golden sandy beach, and the long procession stands neatly on the shore, arranged in a slightly curved serpentine guard of honor, and the tall stone statues of human snakes stand majestically, looking at the endless waves of water, and the sparkling waves are rolling and surging one layer after another.

In addition to the ceremonial procession itself, a group of young Alulu people had arrived, each barefoot and barefoot, wading through the water, their hands folded in their lower abdomen, and standing respectfully as the priests had instructed them, with a reverent and excited smile.

They were all chosen evangelists, chosen by the priests to receive blessings.

This is the supreme glory of the people of Alulu Island, and it is the only way for every Alulu people to pass.

Usually, in addition to these evangelists of this year, there are also those who have been blessed in the previous year will also come here and enter the "gospel island" to be taken out by the serpent mother's messenger to take out the newborn born.

It's just that this year's blessing ceremony was held in advance, and they didn't wait until their birthdays, and those former evangelists have not yet arrived, they are the big-bellied people that Li Heng saw on the island, and they are all in a state of "waiting to give birth".

"O Great Mother of Heaven Who Dwells in Heaven"

"Thy light and glory are the direction we seek, thy grandeur and loftiness are the depths that we cannot look directly at, and thou hast bestowed upon us, the only remaining island in the world, that we have survived to this day."

Suddenly, the white hair and wrinkled High Priest of Martha suddenly raised her head in excitement and shouted, and then slowly knelt down on the gravel, making such a gesture that made her wonder if she would not be able to get up from the ground in the next moment.

"We hear your voice, we look up to your breath, we thank you for your blessings......"

Like the usual trick of any religious character, High Priest Martha shook her small, old and withered body, as if to tremble herself to the point of falling apart.

"The Messenger is coming! All under the throne of the serpent......"

With her slurred prayers and inexplicable incantations, the waves on the shore of the island seemed to grow more violent, soaking the sand in layers of water, and the Aluru people standing on the shore were also submerged in the soles of their feet.

In addition to the priests, Tussaud Inro was the first to bear the brunt, the damp sea breeze and waves coming in to wet her skin, and the crystal beads hung on her delicate and silky amethyst-like skin, refracting the light into a seven-colored rainbow, revealing a mysterious sense of beauty and incomprehensible.

However, at this moment, she was a little uneasy, and there was a trace of anxiety in her beautiful big eyes, as if she was waiting for something, and from time to time she was uneasy and tilted her head slightly to look around.

But the side was stained with priests and others, and her movements couldn't be too big.

Whoa—

At this moment, the crashing waves became even more huge, and a large number of surging white waves rushed up from the lake not far away, like a white wall that had been rising for a long time!

The majestic movement shook all those present, and although it was not the first time they had witnessed this, it was the first time that they had experienced it as evangelists, and their excitement was incomparable.

Poof-

There was another huge sound of water waves, and a huge and hideous head came out of the water, this familiar guy Dussa Yinluo had already witnessed it up close, this was the real water giant snake that the snake mother messenger piloted last time.

But the difference is that this time it's much more than one!

Huge snake heads emerged one after another from under the water, their huge bodies stirring the lake and flooding, constantly lapping against the shore.

But that's not all, as these real water serpents move, a huge thing like a small mountain emerges from the water, and these real water serpents are the "vehicles" that carry this huge thing, and they drag it to the surface.

When this giant thing completely surfaced and finally saw it clearly, it was found that it was actually a pyramid!

That's right, what rises from the water is a pyramid-shaped structure with a metallic silver sheen, which is what they call "Gospel Island".

This time it was far louder than the previous real water serpent, and the entire shore of the island was deterred by the huge structure that had surfaced, and the priest took the lead in kneeling, and all the people of Alulu were prostrate and saluted to the messenger of the Mother Serpent.

Sure enough, in the midst of this vast and magnificent momentum, those creatures covered with feathers on the skin of the snake's tail reappeared, still in the same style as if they had albinism, and the skin, feathers, and snake scales were all a miserable white color, with a cold and terrifying aura.

However, it is precisely this "coldness" that maintains their natural "sense of nobility" that makes these Alulu people reverent.

The messenger has arrived, and the hour has come.

The huge gospel island slowly approached the shore under the consignment of the giant serpents, and the priests all got up and led the gospel people behind them, and asked them to follow the snake mother messenger into the gospel island.

The young evangelicals had never experienced anything before, and there was a hint of fear at such close contact with these giant serpents, but more of a curiosity and intimacy.

The ceremony began, and the young Alulu people had to follow the messenger's "guidance" into the "gospel island", and soon it was the turn of Tussaud Inro, the chosen evangelist, who was specially arranged to be the last, but it would not be long before she entered the treacherous building.

Unlike all the other Aluru who were eager to try and get excited, she had only uneasiness and apprehension, and an anxious ...... Expectations.

"Yinluo, why don't you leave, don't let the messenger wait"

The High Priestess's trademark gritty voice sounded behind her, urging her to move, and the Mother Serpent Emissary on Gospel Island looked down on her, her cold-blooded animalistic gaze on her, making her tingle.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned.

She felt as if her face had suddenly been touched!

This familiar touch made her heart restless and immediately swept away, as if she had great courage, and immediately changed into a smiling sweet face and followed the instructions to the gospel island.

Of course, it won't be someone else who can touch her face in this situation.

Launched the shadowless and invisible Li Heng, always following the priest team, and now he can hold on until the sun sets with a breath from now on!

No one, including the so-called Mother Serpent, was aware of his presence, and the only thing he had to pay attention to was that he tried not to leave footprints on the wet sand, so he walked on the footprints of the people before him.

It turns out that even in this ancient era where there were aliens, the transcendent was still an existence that could not be encountered.

Including these half-human, half-snake guys, whether it was the guy who Li Heng easily beat last time, or the few who couldn't recognize themselves now with their old eyes, they were all flesh and blood beings who were mortal and no stronger than humans or animals.

They are also mortal.

As for these Alulu people, although they are born with some ability to generate electric currents and manipulate electric currents, they are actually not much stronger than electric eels.

If you have to say it, the unknown existence that Li Heng encountered when he first linked can be regarded as a real powerhouse.

In this way, he entered the "gospel island" that the Alulu people regarded as sacred "in full view".

"It's not metal, but it has metal-like hardness and toughness."

Li Heng watched as the glittering pyramid-shaped giant made of silver and analyzed its composition, his eyes scanning the never-before-seen material with all his eyes peeled out, and the tiny structures in it were as clear as a microscope.

"Huh?"

Then, he discovered a phenomenon that shocked him.

When he looked deeper, he suddenly noticed that a large number of net-like structures, or tiny pore structures, appeared on the shell of the seemingly metal-like "Gospel Island".

It's as if countless tiny tubes are finely formed together to form this huge "pyramid".

This kind of structure is very rare in inorganic matter in nature, whether it is rock, soil or even artificial concrete, on the contrary, this structure is most often found in organic matter, such as animal bones, carapaces, teeth......

Although these parts are essentially carbonates and other components, they are formed in a completely different way from various stones of similar composition in nature, and are synthesized by the protein structure and inorganic matter of the organism during development.

And it is like building a house and stacking it layer by layer, leaving a large number of structural voids at the microscopic level, and at the same time gaining hardness and toughness is much lighter than stone.

If this judgment is true, then this super-large pyramid-shaped "ship" in front of you is actually the carapace shell of a huge creature?!
