As I told him, Baka's expression changed again and again. He touched his forehead. The third eye had been closed, and there was no mark there. The skin on his forehead was smooth, and he couldn't feel anything.
I think there is a reason why the Sky Eye Clan is called the Sky Eye Clan.
But I don’t know why Baka suddenly activated his racial characteristics after entering this forest.
He made it clear that he had never experienced amnesia before and had never been in the current situation.
I asked him to rest and calm down while I continued to explore, looking for the lockbox.
Countless gas threads searched the ruins for several hours, digging out one piece of junk after another, and finally found the password box before the sun went down.
This box is entangled with two bright silver metal snakes, the snake heads are twisted together, and the workmanship is extremely fine.
The gas thread dragged it out. When I got closer, the snake spewed two puffs of poisonous smoke from its mouth.
But I found that they stopped spraying when Baka came close, so I asked Baka to open the box.
He is still adapting to his identity as a Sky Eye clan member.
Approaching the box that sprays poison makes me feel terrified.
He carefully opened the intersecting snake heads, and the snake's body twisted and stopped wrapping around the box.
He opened the lid and took out the contents.
There are three small boxes inside, plus a metal plate.
There are words engraved on the metal plate, which should be of the same type as the words on the stone pillars.
I didn’t recognize the words, but the small box looked familiar to me.
On the small metal box, there are two round gemstones, one red and one green.
One up and one down, the same size, like a launcher or button of something?
Baka couldn't read the words on the metal plate without opening his eyes.
I decided to take my things back to Stone City and show them to the priest.
We walked smoothly on the way back. At the junction of Snake Nest, the guide left obvious signs for us. We followed the signs and returned to Stone City without any trouble.
He didn't know how long we would stay in the dead place, and maybe we wouldn't come back at all, so we agreed to let him go back first.
If we haven't returned after seven days, there's no need to wait for us.
Now that we are returning early, the residents of Stone City see us from a distance and come out to greet us.
I handed her the soil and antidote first, which was a big deal. She hurriedly ordered people to take the bag and send it to the backyard of the palace to plant herbs in the containers prepared in advance.
It was a smooth journey to say the least, but it also took three days to go back and forth.
For three days, Baka didn't dare to close his eyes. He squinted hard for half an hour, then woke up from the nightmare again and stared until dawn.
When he returned to Stone City, he ignored everything else and went back to his residence to catch up on his sleep. He didn't even attend the Feng Banquet.
I asked about the origin of the name of the Sky Eye clan at the banquet, and the priest pointed to her forehead, where a vertical line was drawn.
I didn't notice it before because her dress was similar to the tribal wizard I knew, with symbols and patterns painted on her face and body.
The vertical line on the forehead is no more conspicuous than the other patterns.
She explained that their ancestors had celestial eyes, but not everyone had them, and they were randomly generated with no rules.
But since their ancestors built the Stone City here, the tribe has never had a Sky Eye person.
Gradually, people no longer have hope, and only priests will make a mark on their foreheads to commemorate the 'specialness' of their ancestors.
I took out the metal plate and asked her to read the words on it.
Sure enough, she recognized it and translated it for me line by line.
It sounded to me like instructions on how to restart the 'new city' and return to home.
After the priest finished reading the message on the metal plate, I told her that where the antidote grew, there was an abandoned ancient city. The urban layout was exactly the same as Stone City, but the scale was more than ten times larger than Stone City.
There are rich natural resources there, but they are protected by various "organs".
I can send them in, but when I leave, they will be completely isolated from the outside world.
The metal plate should be the 'last words' left by their ancestors, hoping that these people who escaped could one day return to their old city.
I observed the priest's expression. When she heard the news about the abandoned ancient city, her eyes were full of yearning.
She said that the Tianyan tribe had heard a legend since childhood. They originally had a beautiful home, but a disaster destroyed their home.
Only a small number of people escaped and lingered near their old homes, never wanting to leave.
But no one knows where that former home is.
There are still many areas in the vast jungle that they have never set foot on.
The vast jungle where they live contains a lot of 'treasure'.
The Tianyan tribe has been limiting population growth. They have limited manpower and limited areas that they can explore. To develop these resources also requires a lot of manpower and technology.
In the Cold War Age, humans were the ones being chased as food in the jungle.
What's more, there are many mutated animals and plants in the jungle, and the size of the four-eyed white bird is much larger than that of humans.
Birds of prey and poisonous animals are rampant, and the living space of a small group of humans is destined to be a big deal.
"Miracle doctor, are you willing to help us return home?" the priest asked.
"How can I help?" I wanted to hear her opinion first.
"Send us in."
"Yes, yes, but I'm leaving, how can you come out?"
"As long as we get back our clan's treasures, we will never set foot in the outside world again."
"If the antidote is planted, don't you plan to move out and live there? There are spiritual birds and other man-eating beasts in the jungle. It is always unsafe to enter and exit. When the population increases in the future, you can build a new city outside the jungle. .”
In the past, they controlled the population because the antidote brought back by the spirit bird was limited. In order to ensure that everyone could receive a sufficient amount of the antidote, they had no choice but to limit the number of people.
If the antidote is successfully planted, they will no longer have this restriction, and population growth is inevitable.
It is difficult to build a well-connected city in the jungle, which will have a great impact on the future development of the city.
What's more, there are wild beasts and poisons along the way, as well as predators flying in the air at any time, ready to catch people and eat them. How can outsiders dare to come and do business with them.
I was thinking a little too far ahead and just thinking about it without saying it out loud.
The priest has her concerns. She feels that the outside world is dangerous, and this danger mainly refers to people.
She felt that humans were more terrifying than beasts. If her family moved outside to live, they would be exterminated in a short time.
Either you become someone else's slave, which will not lead to good results anyway.
Because they lack the force to protect themselves.
She said that they are used to a closed life, and it is easier for them to accept a life of complete isolation than to adapt to a strange outside environment.
The priest then asked the tribesmen present, and they all said that they thought so too.
Since it is their wish, I am willing to help them return to their homes.
The matter of seizing the treasure was indeed due to Sheng Yu's lack of martial ethics.
I have no grudges against their family, but I have to take the little prince away, and he is willing to go back to Shengyu with me to accept the punishment, and does not want to stay here.
The priest had no problem with this. She announced me as the honorary queen of the Sky Eye Clan in front of all the clan members.
Because I said that I would not stay and be their queen, the priest gave me a false position as queen in name, with the same status as the queen, but I would not stay in the clan.
Whatever I decide will be carried out as an order from the Queen.
I want to take Baka away, and they will naturally have no objection.
But they can't move until they get the treasure back.
We need to go back and see Luo Xiuran to discuss this.
