As he walked down the passage, he noticed that the land had slowly turned its normal earthy yellow.

In those places close to the ground, the soil is dark black.

It seems that the pollution does not penetrate as deeply, and the soil is normal after about seven or eight hundred meters underground.

This depth should only be used as a reference, and the degree of soil pollution should be different in different places.

Herag observed the marks on the walls and floor of the passage, and could see that no one had been here for a long time, and there were no signs of small animals crawling.

"Why is this passage so long......?"

Herag had been walking down the passage for a full eight hours, and it didn't look like he was there.

He even wondered if the passage led directly to the center of the earth.

Since the environment is similar everywhere, and there is no reference, I don't know where it is now.

The passage is winding and winding, and the slope is gentle, not a straight line going down vertically.

So while Herag is going down, he is actually moving forward.

Herag didn't know exactly where he was now, but he might have touched the bottom of the Dawnlands.

There was only one road in the whole passage, and Herag did not even meet a fork in the road.

The more he walked, the more he felt that this passage was not simple, and it was impossible to turn back at this time, so he simply continued to walk directly to see what was at the end of the passage.

He took out a little bacon and drinking water from the space ring, and after a few bites, he ate some water and ate it, and then continued on his way.

……

Two days later.

If it weren't for the fact that the scene in front of him had finally changed somewhat, Herag would have wondered if he had entered some kind of circular space, and why he couldn't get out.

For two days, Herag had been walking through the passage.

The passage was pitch black and silent, and no other monsters were encountered.

Herag was still worried about whether he would meet the same giant worm that had attacked him before, but now he seemed to be too worried.

If there was that kind of giant insect activity in the vicinity, this passage could not have remained so intact, and it would have been destroyed long ago.

Not only did he not meet the kind of giant insect that could travel quickly underground, but he didn't even see an earthworm along the way.

In Herag's mind, a red line twisted and weng, a route he had Deep Blue record.

This journey has been generally downward, and at the same time it is moving eastward.

Now it seems that he is already deep underground, and from a horizontal distance, he is currently far to the east of the Grand Canyon of the Great Fissure.

However, the map is not necessarily correct, and if the sense of direction is disturbed due to some factors, then the road map drawn is wrong.

Herag felt that the route map was most likely wrong, or that the distance could not be calculated according to the usual feeling in this passage.

Because he has gone too far, but the soil layer around him is almost exactly the same after walking so far, which is a bit unreasonable.

Herag thought that the place was indeed a little weird, and that he should not have actually gone that deep.

But the distance along the way is real, and there are no repeated loops on the route.

After two days of boring marching, there was finally something different on the walls of the passage.

It was a series of murals, which looked like they were left behind by an unknown number of thousands of years ago, with obvious traces of age.

When Herag looked at the mural, he always felt a little familiar, a sense of déjà vu.

He looked ahead, and the mural was long, stretching forward with no end in sight.

Standing where the mural began, Herag began to observe its contents, trying to understand what it was trying to convey.

The lines of the mural are simple, one might even say crude.

But through these simple lines, the painter expresses exactly what he wants to tell.

This is a tribe born in the wilderness, in a dangerous environment, and all kinds of powerful beasts emerge one after another, posing a great threat to the tribe.

The people of the tribe are often injured and killed by wild beasts, and the tribe is facing a crisis as its population becomes smaller and smaller.

Later, a presumably god-like emissary brought a stone tablet to the tribe......

Seeing this, Herag finally knew why it looked so familiar.

He immediately remembered that the mural was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the cave in the valley town.

At least the murals I have seen so far are exactly the same as the ones in my memory.

"Is it the same passage?"

Gerag looked around, and he remembered that when he was in the small town of Gorge, he also entered a cave and saw the murals on the cave walls.

When he came out of the cave, he disappeared when he went back to the cave, could it be that he had moved here?

Another thing in common is that there are spiders outside the two holes, and I don't know if there is some connection.

However, after carefully comparing the surrounding scenes, it can be confirmed that this is not the cave in the valley town, only the murals are the same.

Herag wondered why two frescoes were identical when they were so far apart.

He continued down the passageway, browsing the murals on the walls.

After walking some distance, Herag noticed the difference.

The murals here are longer.

The mural in the cave in the valley town is only partially depicted, and it only tells the story of the tribesmen who survived by the power of the slate after they obtained the power in the slate.

At that time, it seemed that the story had come to an end.

But here, the story doesn't end there.

Behind the previous mural, there is a long, long mural content.

Herag slowly looked at the second half of the mural and roughly understood what the story was telling in the second half.

The tribe quickly grew and became the most powerful tribe relying on the power of the stone tablets, multiplying for many generations.

Years later, the tribe had succeeded in ruling the land, and there was a peaceful and prosperous scene everywhere.

However, demons descend from the sky, and they kill people when they see them.

The demons are depicted in all sorts of terrible forms, and the painter's drawing technique is still relatively crude and the lines are simple.

But Herag could feel that the painter was trying to convey that the demons were powerful and terrifying.

Demons from beyond the heavens soon took over large swaths of the land and plundered all the resources they could.

The people of this land, led by their tribes, have been rebelling against these invading demons.

But the difference in strength is too great, and the people of the tribe are losing one after another, and they are about to be completely taken away by the demons.

At this moment, the stone tablet emitted a strong light, and all the people of the tribe knelt in front of the stone tablet and bowed.
