This place is still within the polar night circle, and the surrounding light is very dim. However, the eyes of these four descendants are very adapted to seeing in the dark, and they can calmly control the four short-mouthed flying monsters and land smoothly on the ground.
At first glance, it looks like a mysterious and natural cave entrance, surrounded by thick moss and full of primitive and ancient atmosphere.
The entrance to the cave they went deep into was shielded by huge rocks and dense vegetation. It seemed that the place had not experienced strong winds and severe cold, and still maintained a green and warm atmosphere.
If you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to find the entrance of the cave here at a quick glance. Once inside, you will find that the world inside is completely different from the outside.
The interior of the cave was pitch black at first, with only a few natural stones that occasionally shimmered as if inlaid on the cave wall, bringing a glimmer of light.
The stone walls inside the cave are not smooth, and there are some traces of artificial carving, but the workmanship is far less refined than that of the underground base. Years of natural erosion, or some traces of excavations by flying monsters, have given the stone walls unique textures and shapes.
Some of them undulate like waves, while others are like the miraculous workmanship of nature, carving out complex lines. With every step forward, you will discover new scenes, as if you have entered a mysterious and ancient dream.
Li Sa could feel them going all the way down, and when they reached a larger space, the four flying monsters stopped.
The leader of the four descendants said: "These flying monsters will stop here, and continuing down is our tribal territory."
Li Sa saw the subsequent passages in their minds. Those passages could not allow tall flying monsters to enter or exit. They could only allow humans of ordinary heights to pass through. They looked more like basement passages in modern buildings, very narrow. Perhaps the members of the exploration team who built this place deliberately made the space so small to prevent the invasion of giant monsters.
Deep in the cave, water drops falling on the rocks make a crisp sound, echoing in this enclosed space.
Li Sa casually collected these water droplets and put them into a universal cleaning machine for testing. He found that there was contamination. Players must try to avoid direct contact with their skin, so he reminded everyone to take precautions.
The air inside the cave is also more stagnant than in the tall outer caves, bringing out a bad smell.
In this world, all sounds seemed to be amplified. Li Sa and Fan Gang could hear the noise deep in the cave. They seemed to be performing some kind of collective ritual, singing melodic music.
When we walked to the deepest part of the cave, the space here suddenly opened up. It was more than fifty meters high. The cave was large enough to accommodate ten thousand people. The roof of the cave looked like a dome, and there was a pool in the middle of the cave. An altar was built in the middle of the pool.
Li Sa has seen the shape of the base. This altar is exactly the same as the base, as if it is a miniature model of the base. Along the way, Li Sa took photos of interesting scenes he saw and sent them to Dr. Yao and the others for analysis. Including these strange buildings and spaces, as well as those polluted water, luminous stones, moss, etc.
There is a huge luminous stone on the top of the dome, which seems to be some kind of naturally formed luminous crystal, illuminating this large space.
An old woman was lying on a richly decorated chair on the altar. She could no longer stand up. There are several maids around the chair. Their attire is similar to that of the four descendants. They may all be high-ranking people in the tribe.
The four people who led Li Sa and others in quickly ran over and reported their situation.
Li Sa released Xiaohua and arranged for Xiaohua to communicate with the base model and the leader of the short-beaked flying warbird in the upper cave. She then went deep into the minds of these powerful tribesmen to quickly collect information.
In front of almost everyone in the tribe, a divine bird was created out of thin air. This made the entire tribe awe-inspiring. There was no need to prove anything. Everyone in the tribe knew that the divine bird was the ruler of the flying monsters. He is the messenger left behind by God. The one who can take and release the divine bird at will and control it as he pleases must be a god.
No need for the old priest to explain, Li Sa had already understood the plight of their tribe.
Their new tribesmen were originally small, and most of them had congenital mental defects. If this continued, the tribe would have no successors, and it would be close to extinction.
The reason why the old priest has never found a successor is not because he is greedy for power, but according to the legend of his ancestors, when he sees the god, he needs the most pious sacrifice. At that time, the high priest will use his own blood and life as a tribute. She couldn't bear to see the younger generation of the tribe sacrifice, so she worked hard to stay alive and sent the young people in the tribe to search for traces of God.
Li Sa could feel that the old priest's brain wave energy was very high, but his physical condition was not good. She asked Lu Jingjing to check what kind of disease this person had and whether it could be cured.
At the same time, Li Sa continued to read the old priest's memories with his mental power. There were many inside stories that no one else in the tribe knew. The composition of this tribe is closer to that of an insect society. Knowledge is in the hands of a few people, and more people are just "worker ants" who are ignorant and believe in gods and power.
Li Sa quickly discovered that the old priest did not understand many sacrificial movements and the true uses and meanings of the utensils. The knowledge she mastered was seriously out of date with modern technology. However, this was how the previous priest taught her, and the old priest had no idea about this process. Never questioned.
Now the gods really felt the sacrifice and prayer, and really came to their tribe. The old priest was willing to sacrifice his life to please the gods, and begged the gods to save and continue to protect her people.
But Li Sa never found the interstellar liaison access code that he was asked to find on his personal mission. There was no such artifact in the old priest's mind.
The landing of the backup landing ship separated from the mother ship was indeed related to the old priest. Her ancestors left a message that when the tribe suffered a genocide, the artifact could be activated through some mysterious sacrifice, and the artifact could communicate with the gods. At that time, a ball of fire will descend from the sky, which is the vehicle of God.
This message also gives the location where God's vehicle may arrive, near the base built by the original explorers.
Li Sa estimated that the coordinates and orientation of the backup landing module had been entered in advance, and without any adjustments or modifications, it must have landed according to the original settings.
However, the topography of the planet's surface has changed too quickly. The changes have not only increased the vegetation, but also created huge mountains. This caused the backup landing module to directly hit the mountain.
The old priest didn't understand the principles of those communication devices. He just established contact with the artifact according to the inherited songs, dance steps and movements, and touched and pressed some key buttons.
In Li Sa's view, the "artifact" used by the old priest was more like a car key. There was no eleven-digit dynamic password displayed anywhere. It was probably just a remote control for summoning a backup landing ship, which sometimes worked and sometimes failed.
What exactly is that dynamic code-related thing, and where is it hidden?
This is the second update of the double update. There are three updates on both days of the weekend. Thank you all for your votes and messages of encouragement!
