Chapter 67: The Underwater Ruins
Wren found a problem, as long as he came to the world history course, that Professor Ai would inevitably go out to answer the phone, and then the class would basically be over.
Today is the same again, Professor Ai has just started and talked for two or three minutes, and her mobile phone rings again.
But now Wren is not surprised by this situation, like the other students, Professor Ai has just walked to the door, and everyone's mobile phones and other things have already been placed on the table.
"The joint archaeological team has been missing for two days, and the three countries of Koti are making every effort to search and rescue"
As soon as Wren took out his phone, the [Hotspot Express] app popped up a push for him.
After several crossings, Wren also discovered some of these patterns.
The first time he went to the Holy Gem Kingdom, he didn't get the phone yet. In the next two times, the locations he crossed were all written in the news pushed to him by this [Hot Spot Express].
Before going to Famata, [Hot Express] pushed him a piece of news about Famata developing autism treatment drugs.
Before going to the mini-talk show, they pushed another news that they were going to interview the elite members of the World Parliament.
Wren didn't think it was any coincidence, it was already strange that Alexia had slipped her phone into him at the time.
"Could it be that the place we are going to this time will have something to do with this archaeological team?" Wren muttered.
But this will only be known until he puts on his armor.
Clicking on the news content, Wren carefully checked what was written on it.
The news is to the effect that a month ago, fishermen in the island nation of Koti accidentally salvaged a stone slab with the lower body of a human figure carved on it, apparently a fragment that had collapsed from something.
After research by archaeologists, they believe that there should be some sunken remains in the sea near the Koti Kingdom.
Combined with some recent reports, it has been the recent intense activity on the seabed in the Koti Sea that has allowed the slab to be recovered by fishermen.
And not only Koti, but also fishermen in the other two nearby island nations, Chatz and Noosa, have found some similar strange stones.
It is now almost certain that some underwater remains have been exposed due to activity on the seabed.
So the three kingdoms decided to set up a joint archaeological team to find and explore this ruin.
Twenty days ago, the joint archaeological team set out.
Half a month ago, the archaeological team sent back the information, and it took them a few days to finally find the location of the ruins in the deep sea area far away from Koti.
Then the next day, they sent back even more exciting content, buried under the sea was the ruins of a huge city.
After receiving approval from their superiors, the archaeological team decided to go into the ruins to see if they could find something useful and determine the name or origin of the city.
As for the more detailed excavations, they couldn't do it. To explore the entire underwater city, you need a large army and more advanced equipment, and it is best to hire some fish-man salvagers who are experts in underwater operations.
After two days of excavation, the joint archaeological team brought out a lot of useful things from the ruins, such as more stone slabs, utensils, and some seabed fossils.
After a simple cleaning and inspection on the ship, the archaeological team found that many of the items brought out were carved with wolf-shaped ornaments, most of which were human bones, and a small part were wolf's.
Wald, the leader of the archaeological team, sent this information back, and he believed that this should be an ancient kingdom with wolves as the object of worship, at least 20,000 years old, or even older.
Because of the lack of equipment on board, Wald hoped that his superiors would send someone to carry out a full excavation as soon as possible.
This was the last message that the archaeological team received from the Koti Three Kingdoms, and the archaeological team could no longer be contacted.
Originally, the three countries were discussing the establishment of a larger-scale archaeological team, but they also changed the plan temporarily and sent a search and rescue team instead.
However, when they arrived at the sea where the ruins that Wald had previously brought back, the search and rescue team did not find the archaeological team's boats, so they could only expand the search and rescue area.
However, two days have passed, and no trace of the archaeological team has been found.
........
Wren carefully read the entire story and wrote down some of the names of people and places, which may be useful later.
The archaeological team investigates the mysterious ruins, but all of them are missing, and when they hear it, they know that there must be some secrets inside.
In the previous life, Wren might have speculated mysteriously, such as whether there would be something terrifying in the ruins, such as ghost zombies, or curses.
But in this world with extraordinary powers, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and curses are all things that do exist, and Wren thinks that the archaeological team may have encountered something else, such as team infighting? Pirate raids?
"Ahem!"
A cough interrupted Wren's thinking, and Wren subconsciously put the phone back under the table - during class, hiding the phone as soon as there is a disturbance is a necessary skill.
When I looked up, Professor Ai's assistant had already appeared at the door.
Quietly looking down at the phone screen, Wren found that Professor Ai's phone call this time was only ten minutes, which meant that they still had more than twenty minutes to class.
That's more time than Professor Ai's actual lectures have since the beginning of the school year combined!
And looking at Professor Ai's expression, she seemed to have encountered something very happy, and the two leaves kept drawing small circles in the air.
"I'm sorry, I took the phone." Always the same sentence, I don't know if she is really apologizing, "Where did we talk about just now?" Oh, by the way, it's the creation of the Eternal Dark Spider Empire. Legend has it that the people of the Spider Empire were protected by the spider god, and they developed multiple pairs of eyes, and their skin would constantly ooze poison, and their enemies would die if they touched it. With this ability, the Eternal Darkness Spider Empire is invincible on the battlefield, and no one is their opponent. ”
"Among the artifacts excavated, the figures of the people of the Spider Empire are all purple-black skinned and have three or four pairs of eyes. However, it is now widely accepted in the academic community that these are just legends that have been artistically processed. Because when they conducted an ethnographic investigation, they found that the predecessors of the Eternal Darkness Spider Empire were Danya people who migrated from the Danya Desert, and they were normal humans. Some special rituals can indeed change a person's appearance, but they are often expensive and extremely risky. It is almost impossible to completely change a human race, from ordinary humans to the legendary Spider Empire people. ”
"In addition, there have been many similar situations in history, and some countries have advertised that they have been protected by gods and have all kinds of strange abilities, but there is absolutely no relevant evidence to confirm these legends. Therefore, we believe that the protection of the so-called spider god, people's skin oozing poison, and growing several pairs of eyes, are all artistic processing. The people of the Eternal Darkness Spider Empire only worship spiders and like to use poison in battle, so they describe themselves as that kind of appearance, thinking that they are closer to the gods they believe in........"
