The lost ancient city is filled with a desolate and lonely atmosphere. The only thing you can hear is the wind and ears and the footsteps of others around you. On the ancient old street road covered by sand and dust, Hao Ren and his party are still carefully Exploring.

ASanbaA floats in front of the team. The scanning beam projected from the terminal surface continuously sweeps around every object that looks suspicious or may leave the mystery of the ancient city. The collapsed sculptures and scattered stone slabs are the most valuable. In some of the slate and mud tablet fragments, ASanbaA discovered the kind of cuneiform that Heather Anna had mentioned.

But most of the text has almost been smoothed out by wind and sand. Often, the symbols that can be recognized on an object will not exceed three or five. Even if the words are not even connected, even the ASanbaA translation system is difficult to correct. Its processing.

"These symbols really resemble the cuneiform characters that were commonly used on the Mesopotamian plains at that time," Vivian looked at the text patterns that ASanbaA had currently collected, and these patterns were suspended in front of her. It is a standard wedge, and the slate is a variant that has been processed for easy carving, but it is not difficult to convert between the two fonts ... "

Hao Ren looked at these ancient words curiously: "Can you translate them?"

"No," Vivian shook his head. "Although they are indeed cuneiform in form, they are not a system with the cuneiforms discovered by humans in modern times, and there is no way to interpret these things in my memory. . "

"Do n’t you really remember Ah? in this city?" Lily still misses this question. "This place may just let you kill the city directly in a red moon. Why do n’t you remember?"

“I ’m really impressed,” Vivian was full of helplessness. “And the city of slaughter ... is this not in line with my personality? Even when my mind was unclear, I should try to stay away from human settlement as far as possible before completely out of control. District. "

"Such historical problems will be discussed later," Hao Ren shook his head, looking at the yellow sand streets in front of him. "There is another building in the front that looks like a temple, which may be preserved. The more complete text probably understands the origin of the city. "

Lily Oh gave a whisper, whispering as he stepped up to catch up: "It is said that the largest area in the city is a temple. The ancient people really wasted that kind of productivity in this place ..."

As Lily said, almost all of the buildings in the lost ancient city that occupy the largest area are temples. They can be recognized at a glance from the appearance: the temple is tall and similar in shape to the combination of pyramid and cube , There will be various powerful sculptures on the upper level of the building and in front of the main entrance, and these sculptures are also unique. They are a combination of the human torso and various beast characteristics, which may reflect the religion of this mysterious city in that year. Faith form, in the primitive barbaric generation, such brutal and horrible religious images can be seen everywhere.

These temples occupy almost one third of the entire city-far beyond the normal needs, I really do n’t know how many affiliated villages and human slaves were needed to support this size of the religious system. .

Now, a temple like this stands in front of Hao Ren and his party.

It is not a huge temple in the middle of the city, but a smaller temple near the central temple. To go to the central temple, you must pass through the avenue near this building. This "smaller" temple also has an impressive scale. It consists of a huge pyramid-shaped main body and two rectangular subsidiary palaces. The two palaces are arranged in front of the pyramid, as if a prowling lion is protruding forward. The forelimbs that emerged, and in the square directly in front of the pyramid, were two columns of neatly arranged stone statues. They guarded the passage leading to the depths of the temple like guards.

Before heading to the city ’s central temple, Hao Ren feels that he should search for such ancillary temples around the central area to avoid missing important clues. Although the collapse of the different space continues, the complete collapse is at least a few days away, and he still has plenty of time.

Elizabeth rides on the shoulders of Y’zaks, looking away at the magnificent huge buildings and stone statues around them, just like the religious stone statues in other parts of the city, these several meters high sculptures are also composed of human torso and beast limbs As a result, they have the heads of lions, jackals, and crocodiles, and their bodies are twisted into a majestic posture, as if they are ready to fight at any time. The little devil observed after a long time and made the conclusion: "Oh-really ugly."

The little girl who is accustomed to the face of Y’zaks can say the word "truly ugly", which shows that these stone statues are really ugly.

Vivian still acts as a historical commentator: "In primitive religious worship, powerful beasts always appear as the guards of God or even as the image of God itself. There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, ancient humans were afraid of The power of those beasts, they regard the most powerful beasts as the existence of special powers like God, on the other hand, because a large number of the earliest 'aliens' that ruled the earth were driven by various beasts There are even a lot of aliens who have come to surrender to humans with Warcraft, and they are not as beautiful as beasts. At least in human aesthetics, these 'primitive gods' are beast gods. "

Lorissa listened to these Vivian explanations one sentence at a time, suddenly frowning and looking in a certain direction: "Who?!"

Hao Ren is immediately at hand: "What's wrong?"

Lorissa stared closely at the wind and sand at the end of the street behind her eyes, and her eyes slowly turned into silver white like Holy Flame, but after a while, her eyes returned to normal: "May be an illusion-just a moment ago I feel like someone is staring at me. "

"I didn't feel it," Lily shook his ears. "My six senses are sharp, and I don't feel it. You must be an illusion."

"Probably." Lorissa frowned, slowly returning her gaze.

The door of the temple is made of heavy iron wood wrapped in copper skin. It should be the most indestructible door at that time. However, after being baptized by wind and sand for thousands of years in a different space, this door It was still badly decayed, and the remnant tattered door jammed crookedly in front of the entrance. Lily stepped forward and threw two door panels weighing half a ton to the side, only to reveal the dark channel inside.

Fire is very happy to light up the blazing fire, and in the sway of the fire, a group of people stepped into this ancient ruin.

It did n’t take long for them to move forward, and they saw huge guard stone statues on both sides of the corridor.

Still weird stone sculpture formed by combining the human body and the head of the beast, still showing a ready posture. The stone statues in the temple are a circle smaller than those outside, but they also have five meters. Above the height, it looks very powerful.

"Strange ... why are there so many stone statues ..." Vivian whispered frowning.

Hao Ren is unknown so: "Isn't it normal to have this kind of sculpture in the temple?"

"It ’s normal to have this kind of sculpture, but this number is not normal, which is beyond the scale needed as an ornament," Vivian shook his head. "It ’s really weird and funny."

At this time, the ASanbaA flying in front suddenly shouted: "Partner! Partner! The mural here can be recognized!"

Hao Ren quickly ran over and was seeing the blue beam projected by ASanbaA sweeping over a colored relief on the stone wall-the relief was actually quite mottled and eroded, and the human eye could hardly see the original appearance. What's the matter, even experienced archaeologists may need quite complicated technical means as an aid to restore them one or two, but compared to the slate and clay tablets that are almost completely flattened and fragmented outside the city, this mural There are still a lot of identifiable areas.

With the support of ASanbaA ’s super computing power, these murals were quickly restored, and even the text under the murals was slowly pieced together and reorganized, and presented on the stone walls by holographic projection-just as if they were intact Same time.

In the first picture, Hao Ren saw an abstract and weird scene: he saw a very large creature walking on the earth, or "floating", like a slender, pointed foot The beetle, from underneath the layered body that looks like a stack of bone plates, is a pair of thin and long legs that are completely disproportionate to the body. The creature's pointed feet step on the ground, but the body is peaceful. Moon shoulders-this should be an exaggerated depiction of the ancients, but it is enough to make people guess how scary the creature looks like a beetle, and it has such a horrible body, but it can rely on a few pairs of long, thin feet. Walking on the ground is enough to show that its body is probably "floating" in the air. It has a large number of suspended airbag structures in the body, or it simply has the ability to control gravity.

The first picture used almost all of the space to show the details of this huge creature. There is only one word under the picture. ASanbaA transliterated it and named it Ertos. If there is no accident, it should be a huge creature. first name.

The second picture shows the destructive power of this creature: it is surrounded by thunder and lightning, as well as flame meteors falling from the sky, and even the sun and moon are swallowed into the body by this giant beetle. Under the long pointed feet are collapsed walls and dead humans, which means that this creature has the supernatural power to summon lightning and flames, and it is most likely that it appeared during a certain solar or lunar eclipse, which destroyed Human cities are helpless to humans. Among those corpses, you can even see some very tall humanoid creatures with alien characteristics. Those humanoid creatures have lines like apertures around them. ASanbaA said after translating the text on the screen, those are "old gods" "'S body.

A creature named Ertos destroyed a "mythical city-state" ruled by alien species.

And just as Hao Ren ’s eyes fell on the third screen, Lily next to him suddenly exclaimed and stood up.

"Have you heard anything?"

The Husky girl ’s ears are constantly turning in all directions, and her golden eyes are shining in the dim environment.
