Chapter 990 Underground Adventure(2/2)
Because Running Bull said that the last time people saw Indian ghosts was decades ago.
If those so-called "Indian ghosts" are the underground civilization of Kunyang, they may have become extinct, or they may have migrated to other places.
But if this is the case, how can we explain those saddled monsters on the plains?
Why should they abide by the rules of the herd if their owners have disappeared for decades?
Where are they now?
All kinds of doubts lingered in Qin Zhibo's mind, making him afraid to venture into this weird town to explore.
In addition, it is getting late outside now. Although there is no distinction between day and night here, the human body has its limits.
It’s time to find a place to rest…
The two of them walked along the river, trying to find a hidden place where they could not only ensure their own safety, but also observe the situation in the town.
As he walked, Qin Zhibo found that he had unknowingly walked out of the town.
Observing the plain here, you will find that this plain is not endless, but is blocked by clouds and fog, making it look unfathomable.
In fact, about the same distance in the other direction from the town, there are also towering mountains.
There is a dark crack between the mountains over there, like a pass leading to other dark spaces.
In the sky, several flying white birds flew past in the never-ending blue day, making Qin Zhibo even more certain that the biodiversity here is enough to accommodate the survival of a certain advanced civilization.
Continuing to walk forward, they passed by a bush and thorn bushes that squirmed from time to time. They saw a crumbling ancient building.
This ancient building is also made of stone, has no windows, and has only an indescribable door.
On the stone surface of this building, there are a large number of shallow relief carvings, and the content of the carvings is many different scenes and creatures, such as the sea that should not appear here.
These shallow reliefs seemed to be telling an ancient story to the people who came here, and Qin Zhibo happened to understand some of it.
That sea was their origin.
They came to this world together with the gods with octopus heads, and have been living on the earth since the "Age of Stars", and even established a powerful civilization.
Later, the ancient continent of the primitive earth sank, so they no longer believed in the outside world and began to migrate to live underground.
This city full of deathly silence is their refuge.
In addition to introducing their origins, the reliefs also include some processes of civilization evolution, such as currency casting.
They used an extremely rare synthetic metal to mint their currency.
This metal also followed the octopus-headed god and the stars to the earth from outer space. The fish-men clan once used these metals to build statues of the octopus-headed god to express their worship.
This special metal will produce magnetism for similar substances, causing unnecessary trouble, so their currency only contains a small amount of this metal.
While Qin Zhibo was concentrating on observing the bas-reliefs on the wall and piecing together ancient stories in his mind, Koizumi Hongzi tugged on his sleeve beside him.
"look……"
Koizumi Hongzi's voice was low and she motioned Qin Zhibo to look to the side.
Qin Zhibo's eyes followed and he realized that those strange livestock seen on the plain had appeared in the bushes ten meters away from unknown time.
They had ugly facial features as flat as millstones and stared intently at Qin Zhibo.
This made Qin Zhibo feel tense. His body was stiff and he did not dare to move, but his hands had already quietly touched the machete on the side of his thigh and the Colt Python revolver on his waist.
Koizumi Hongzi's fingertips also ignited a flame, ready for battle at any time.
The eyes of both parties faced each other, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
But ten seconds later, these animals turned their heads, turned their bodies as strong as cattle to the other side, and left quietly.
Qin Zhibo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he wondered in his mind whether he had mistakenly blamed them. They were indeed herbivores.
But no matter what, although this animal looks extremely ugly, it does not pose a threat to itself.
Qin Zhibo thought so now, but soon he didn't think so...
…
After the livestock left, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi walked in through the open door.
There are no windows inside and it is very dark. You have to turn on the searchlight to see clearly.
Under the illumination of modern light sources, everything inside can be seen at a glance.
This place does not look like an ordinary residential building, but a temple similar to a ritual.
There are numerous water basins and fire basins of different shapes placed in the building, as well as the mysterious altar that is sunken downwards in the middle.
However, these utensils are now covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, indicating that this place has been abandoned for a long time, older than the guest rooms in the "Indian House".
Qin Zhibo took a rough scan and came to a conclusion.
"This place is very suitable as a shelter. Let's stay here tonight..."
