On the way back, Zhu Jue was still confused!
At first, Zhu Jue wondered if he had seen it wrong. What appeared in the crevice of the stone was actually a large centipede, which dragged the extra-large Destroyer into the abyss.
After all, in this world of ants, it is incredible to see a human arm. Could it be that part of Zhu Jue's deep memory about human beings, under high tension, had an illusion and merged with the giant centipede that appeared! ?
But Zhu Jue carefully checked the memories in his mind, and the visual memory of the past was very clear. The human hand reappeared unmistakably, and even the hair on the hand was completely visible. Zhu Jue was sure that this was not an illusion!
It's not an illusion, it's human hands, and living hands!
Zhu Jue's heart was agitated. Although this was not the first time he saw traces of human existence, he had seen human skull stones and some leftover man-made objects before, but these were dead objects, but now a living human arm appeared in the In front of me, the meaning is completely different!
There are still humans alive! ! ! ? ? ?
But after Zhu Jue calmed down, he immediately noticed some doubts.
First of all, the proportions of this human's arms are unusual. They appear to be very elongated and out of proportion. Zhu Jue searched his memory carefully and found that compared with the Destroyer, this human arm was only as thick as the arm of a five or seven-year-old child, but the palm was very large, disproportionate to the slender arm.
Secondly, this arm is very long. Just the forearm and palm are more than one meter long, and it can easily snatch away the extra-large Destroyer from above. But at the same time, most of the part below the elbow joint is hidden under the black mist of the stone abyss.
Based on this ratio, it is estimated that this arm is more than 2 meters long, so its owner should be more than 4 meters tall, or even close to 5 meters, to have such a long arm. Or perhaps, the figure of the owner of this arm does not conform to the normal proportions, just like the length and thickness of the arm itself are not proportional!
No matter what, this didn't look like a normal human arm that Zhu Jue was familiar with.
Besides, does this arm really have an owner? Based on various previous intelligence analyses, Zhu Jue believes that humans have been extinct in this world for a long time. It is even difficult to find significant traces of human civilization in this world. The distance between the ant world and human civilization may be thousands or tens of thousands of years. count!
Then, there will be remnants of human beings that have survived for such a long time and exist in this world! ?
Zhu Jue thinks it is unlikely. After living for such a long time, Zhu Jue has gradually realized that the oxygen content in the air of this world is much lower than that of human civilization, so there are no large-sized creatures in this world. , only small arthropods such as insects can adapt to such low oxygen levels.
The size of living things changes with the oxygen content. Before the age of dinosaurs, the oxygen content in the atmosphere was extremely high, and insects were huge. Dragonflies could grow to be similar to eagles. The low oxygen content in the atmosphere now explains why, except for arthropods, all other organisms seem to have become extinct, because they cannot adapt to low oxygen content, especially warm-blooded animals such as mammals and birds.
In such a low-oxygen environment, it is difficult for mice to survive. Is it possible that humans will survive? Even if he is a survivor, why would "he" or "she" hide under this narrow stone crevice? It is obviously impossible to have all the conditions a person needs to survive there.
Moreover, it is impossible for a single human being to survive for such a long time! If it is a group, it will be more difficult to accommodate a tribe in this stone crevice.
The more Zhu Jue thought about it, the more frightened and doubtful he became. All his guesses were unscientific. But he didn't dare to explore under the stone crevices in person. The powerful strength of that arm made him tremble. It was the strength that could directly lift the extra-large Destroyer hanging firmly on the cliff, and even forcibly tore off its jointed limbs. , the "power of a brick" after his "god descended to earth" was impossible to achieve and could not withstand it.
The existence at the bottom of the stone crevice was too threatening. Zhu Jue did not dare to explore it himself. He was even afraid that sending an exploration team would wake up a being that was more terrifying than the Destroyer.
He could only escort the golden eggs back, and before the honeypot ant royal family had finished thanking them for their kindness, and before the leaders of the thin-legged ants had finished complimenting them, he called all the top leaders of the two tribes to the conference room and asked The secret about the cracks in the stone!
This stone crevice is located at the junction of the Honeypot Ant Kingdom and the Thin-footed Ant Nation, and these two civilized ant tribes have existed for more than a thousand years. If there is indeed something powerful in the stone crevice, it is impossible for these two tribes not to survive. Know!
Zhu Jue did not elaborate on his experience, but asked first. Most of the top executives of Honeypot Ant and Thin-footed Ant looked at each other, obviously not knowing.
But Zhu Jue also saw from the colors in his eyes and the emotions he received from his antennae that some ants were aware of the situation. Among them, the one who reacted most violently was the leader of the honeypot ants and the thin-footed ants who were responsible for the sacrifices. !
The sacrificial leader of the honeypot ant clan is a castrated old female ant, called the "sacrificial queen", while the old male ant in charge of sacrificial affairs of the thin-legged ant clan is the "priest king".
After Zhu Jue noticed that they were hesitant to speak, he decisively asked the other ants to retreat, leaving only these two. At this time, he took advantage of his reputation as the supreme commander of the civilized ant alliance, and had the aura of having just successfully rescued the golden eggs of the honeypot ants, so his request was not excessive, and the top leaders of both countries agreed.
Only the female honeypot ant "Priest Queen" and the male ant "Priest King" were left in the conference room, as well as Zhu Jue himself. The other party could finally speak.
It was the "Priest King" who spoke first. He said that Zhu Jue was the envoy king of the Big-headed Ant Clan who was responsible for communicating with the gods, and he had the right to know the information about the "Stone Crevice Bad Land".
The "Queen of Sacrificial Women" also sent a signal of agreement.
The "Priest King" told Zhu Jue that it is said that the great demon ant tribe lives underground, and that there are 81 passages in the world leading to the habitat of the great demon ant tribe, called "bad lands", and this stone crevice is one of them. The thin-footed ants and the honeypot ants are the guards responsible for guarding this passage among the civilized ants.
However, the Great Demon Ant Tribe has never appeared. This legendary creature with only four jointed limbs and a soft but strong carapace seems to exist only in legends. Most of the top leaders of the Thin-legged Ant Clan and the Honey Pot Ant Clan have forgotten the original purpose of their clans, and only the leaders responsible for sacrifices are still passing on this legend from generation to generation.
Later, the "Queen of Sacrifice" went on to add that the information she said made Zhu Jue's hair stand on end!
