Chapter 77: Dwarves
Combibjorn is located in the Watkins Mountains on the island of Canglang (Greenland), with the highest point at 3,694 meters above sea level. This type of mountain is called "Iceland's Blade" and stands between ice fields and glaciers!
A team, carrying their bags, is walking on the ice field......
The winding mountain road leads to Blade Mountain, and that's where they want to go!
Yes, it's still those people, Bian Xi, Hong'er, and Kong Da and his dragon team members...... Jiugong continued to lead Kong Er and his Tiger team members to stay behind the Black Islands building.
Before leaving, I heard Jiugong say: "On the desolate ice field, in the snow-capped Blade Mountain, there used to be a group of long-haired, white-skinned, short-sized Greenland orcs!" ”
They went out day and night, fought with weapons made of stones and sticks, fought monitor lizards and large birds several times their body, lit bonfires, and roasted the walruses they hunted into food, and lived a carefree life!
However, time passed quickly, and a few rafts brought more intelligent humans from outside the island, who were tall and successful, and in just a short time, they washed 80% of the island's species in blood.
The killing began......
Hordes of off-island humans went deep into the ice fields, poking them with fur and smashing them with stones, driving away monitor lizards, shooting large birds, killing walruses, and slaughtering the Greenlandic hairy half-beast dwarfs like wild boars: their dwarf bodies were dismembered into small pieces to become a delicious meal of human sashimi......
The latest archaeological discoveries prove that there was indeed a group of dwarfs who lived on Earth 12,000 years ago and were exterminated by our ancestors, who were called "Floresians".
The Floresians may have disappeared 60,000 years ago, or they may have survived until much later......
Today, there are still legends about dwarfs in Greenland, who call them "hairy half-beast dwarfs".
Legend has it that the dwarfs had long hair, were able to walk upright, and even spoke simple human language. At first, the people were able to live in peace with them, but later, the dwarfs began to steal the food they planted, and the conflict between the two sides intensified......
When they had stolen and eaten a baby, they decided to kill all the dwarfs: they tricked them into a cave by the sea in an attempt to burn them all to death......
The long-haired dwarfs who were lucky enough to slip through the net no longer dared to live in the plains, and were forced to move to the glacial area of Blade Mountain. Since then, near the coast, no dwarfs have ever been seen.
We don't know the veracity of the legend of the "hairy orc dwarf"?
If this is true, then it is likely that the real "Floresians" found by archaeology lived hundreds of years ago, although more archaeological evidence is needed to prove this.
Smaller in order to survive......
The "Wanderers" did not start out as small as they were, but slowly evolved on isolated islands. Comparison of the skull of the Wanderers with the skull of modern humans. Their brain size was only one-third that of modern humans, and about the size of a chimpanzee brain.
The Canglang people and modern humans share a common ancestor - early humans.
It is scientifically estimated that during the Ice Age, about 1 million years ago, the sea level was so low that some of the early humans were able to reach Canglang Island (Greenland) by land bridge......
But when the glacier melted and the sea submerged the land bridge, they were stranded on the island. Small islands have very limited resources, and if animals or humans grow too tall, they need more food and are more likely to starve to death.
As a result, these early humans gradually "shrunk" from generation to generation, eventually becoming dwarfs who were only 1 meter tall, the shortest members of the human family found so far.
After listening to Jiugong's introduction......
Later, everyone finally realized the legendary "long-haired dwarf" of Canglang Island (Greenland). This is a group of close relatives of the human race who are quite different from our modern humans, so Bian Xi and his party directly called them "Canglang people".
