The inner hall of the sacrificial hall displays countless stone tablets, old or new, large or small, each measuring several meters or even tens of meters in size.
There are countless hieroglyphs densely packed on each inscription. The characters engraved on some stone slabs are very special, different from hieroglyphs, and seem to be older than hieroglyphs.
This kind of text combines strokes similar to geometric figures to reflect the content. It is very efficient and concise, but the meaning is rich and varied. In describing
In fact, it can give readers a more wonderful understanding.
And writing is the embodiment of the wisdom of a civilization and represents a means of transmitting experience. It represents a civilization that has transformed from caring for hair and drinking blood to becoming the prerequisite for intelligent creation.
So who created the fonts seen in the inner hall of this sacrificial hall that are earlier than hieroglyphics? How could it be possible that in the initial period of human civilization, thousands of years ago, such a complete writing system with ever-changing meanings was created.
Heiye thought of another possibility. Before the current human civilization, could there have been one or several highly developed civilizations on the earth?
This is not impossible. Compared with the long 4.6 billion years of evolution of the earth itself, the thousands of years of human civilization are as short as a breath in the life of a human being.
Who can guarantee that today's human beings are the only intelligent life that has ever been born on earth?
Night's mind was attracted by this mysterious font, and he stopped to look under every stone tablet that recorded this kind of writing.
The strange characters on the tablets have been studied and studied by countless priests in the sacrificial hall for thousands of years. The meanings of most of the words have been accurately deciphered, and countless annotations have been densely packed under the stone tablets.
Watching the inscriptions one by one in the dark night, time passed quickly, and the afternoon passed quickly.
Among them, there was a dilapidated stone tablet that resembled black marble and was full of traces of time. The content described on it made Heiye's face slightly shaken.
The inscription reads: "... The gods and demons who destroyed the heaven and earth started a war on the continent. The war caused the earth to shatter and the continent to collapse."
Seeing the dark night here, I have been thinking about it. Can it destroy the entire continent? What kind of power is that? Are the powers of gods and demons really that powerful?
Read on.
"The battle between gods and demons lasted for thousands of years. In this battle, all intelligent races were pawns of gods and demons. Not only did many intelligent races disappear, but even some gods and demons died here. In the midst of a great battle..."
"Are all the gods and demons dead..." Black Night's eyes were shining with wisdom, and he murmured to himself, "Are they including the king of demons believed by the ancient cannibals?"
On another ancient inscription, new content appeared.
Dark Night regained its spirit because what it contained was related to the fundamental origin of the great Lord that the ancient cannibals had believed in for thousands of years.
"Lord of the Black Dragon, King of Demon Gods, Jormungandr."
"Jörmungandr...the destroyer of the Nordic mythological world...?" Hei Ye knew for the first time that the Lord believed in by the cannibal ancient tribe had such a big background.
"What is written on this stone tablet explains the ultimate secret of gods and demons. Our family has been preparing for the coming of my great lord for thousands of years, constantly making blood sacrifices to accumulate strength, so that one day our lord can come easily."
While whispering the contents of the inscription in the dark night, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, explaining the origin of this stone tablet.
Heiye's heart was filled with fear. He knew that based on the sense of his ears and eyes, if someone was close to him, even when he was deep in thought, he should have discovered it long ago.
But Heiye didn't hear a sound. It wasn't until the people behind him spoke that Heiye suddenly gave off a warning sign, which showed that the person coming was extraordinary.
Turning around, he saw the handsome and handsome Caindes, dressed in jet black robe, less than ten feet away from the night, hanging proudly in the air.
Seeing Heiye turning around, Sanin smiled sincerely, but his eyes were calm, deep and restrained, without any emotional fluctuations.
He continued:
"Unfortunately, without the guidance of dragon blood, we cannot communicate with the great Lord at all. Your arrival is of great significance to us. As for the benefits, I have already given them to you."
He added: "The magic of our clan is related to the great Lord. Originally, the Lord gave us a lot of magic and power, but after thousands of years, most of it was lost. Therefore, our clan is in urgent need of contact with the great Lord. Connection, for greater power.”
The look of longing and yearning flashed across Caindes' calm face. Then he stopped talking about the Demon King Jörmungandr. Instead, he narrowly blinked his eyes and changed the topic: "Let's go out for a walk."
Speaking of Jörmungandr, the King of Demon Gods, Hei Ye suddenly thought of the catastrophe that almost destroyed mankind ten years ago. Is there any connection between the sudden appearance of gastrea and Jörmungandr, the King of Demon Gods...
He thought for no reason about the gastrula genes hidden in his body.
Hearing Cairnders' proposal, Dark Night, whose thoughts were racing, didn't pay attention for a moment and casually replied: "Where to go?"
Caindes laughed and said: "You will know it naturally after you go there."
When the dark night came to the main entrance of the sacrificial hall, in the pale golden morning light of the morning sun, there were already more than a dozen priests standing in shadow in front of the door.
Black Night was startled and realized that this was a large-scale group sacrificial operation. You must know that these dozen priests all have the power to use magic.
Caindes led Heiye into the priests' team, and within a moment, the whole team started and walked out of the sacrificial courtyard.
The entire priest team walked towards the bank of the Shinano River.
Heiye followed the team forward and looked at the bank of the Shinano River. There was also a huge building there.
Among the ancient cannibals, it is rare to see a ship with a height of more than ten feet. They mostly pursue flexible boats.
The boats of the ancient cannibals are quite distinctive. They are pointed and narrow at both ends and have a strange arc in the middle. The entire ship is like a big fish, made of wood and extremely flexible.
After Caindes waited for the priests and Black Night to arrive at the river, they boarded the boat one after another and rowed to the other side.
It was summer at this time, the time when the Shinano River flooded every year. The river surface was particularly wide and the water was extremely turbulent. The river surface was thousands of meters wide.
The ancient cannibals praised the Shinano River as their mother and believed that it was the Shinano River given by their great Lord Mengde that raised them. In fact, the entire civilization of the ancient cannibals was indeed because of the Shinano River. Only with the gestation can we be born, develop, brilliant and continue.
In the extremely vast Xinnongchuan River Basin, in addition to the tribal centers where people gather, in the wilderness areas, various powerful gastrea animals dominate the earth, ocean, and sky.
The same is true in the water. All kinds of ferocious overlords in the water collide one after another. There are countless them, and they are writhing and fighting, which is very dangerous.
As the boat sails along the river, monsters dozens of meters high can be seen jumping out of the water from time to time, causing waves of river waves that cover the sky and the sun, which is very scary.
However, the countless mysterious runes engraved on the hull of the long boat suddenly glowed with white light.
Just like the Dinghai Pearl, those huge waves that almost submerged the entire long boat, but when they approached the hull, they reduced their momentum, as if they had been tamed, and turned into small waves and rushed towards the long boat. .
As a nation that occupies a vast land in a world with frequent monsters, this ancient cannibal tribe is not a vegetarian. They have extremely rich experience in dealing with river monsters and giant beasts.
More than a dozen priests carved magic runes on the long boat to prepare for various emergencies.
Obviously, the priests did not cut corners, so even when there were many primitive animals in the species, the long boat could still be controlled without capsizing.
The dark night stood at the bow of the boat as steadily as a mountain, constantly scanning the surroundings as if remembering something.
After a while, the boat arrived on the other side of the river, and the priests landed one after another.
Adding all up, it has been nearly a month since I arrived in the Shinano River Basin, but this is the first time I have set foot in this place where ancient cannibal priests usually make blood sacrifices. It is deserted here, with few sightings of people, and more of the soldiers who are the resting place of priests and patriarchs.
In the western city of Thebes, statues of the demon king Jormungandr and other demon gods can be seen everywhere. They are majestic, tall, and clumsy statues.
Soon after everyone landed, they saw a huge temple complex. In the square in front of the door, there were many huge pillars that were more than ten feet high. They were all dark and revealed an evil and cold light.
The most spectacular and breath-taking thing in the temple is a dense forest-like pillar hall, with more than a hundred towering pillars arranged neatly vertically and horizontally, with a total of more than a hundred towering pillars that can only be hugged by six people.
Each giant pillar is more than seven feet high. The original plate on the top of the pillar is like a small land mass, and can stand a hundred people.
Looking up at the stone pillars in the dark night, I couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring. The terror of these cannibals, what I saw and heard, was indeed unbelievable to the extreme.
On the top of a giant pillar in the center of the main hall, a black-gray giant eagle with unparalleled power stood proudly. It was the same beast that followed two priests to capture him a few days ago.
The giant eagle stared at the center of the hall with sharp eyes.
Many animal carcasses and human carcasses have been prepared there. These carcasses were piled up like mountains and were transported here by the ancient cannibals in preparation for blood sacrifices.
"Human beings are the best, but ferocious beasts and evil things can also be used. Of course, the more powerful the animals and humans are, the stronger the effect of blood sacrifice. After a blood sacrifice of our clan, there will be at least 10,000 human corpses, or 10,000 human beings." Dead bodies of ferocious animals.”
Caindes was a little confused when he saw the dark night, and explained in a voice without any fluctuations. It seemed that ten thousand lives were just a simple number in his eyes, insignificant.
After hearing this, Heiye's expression calmed down. The lives of more than 10,000 people or the lives of more than 10,000 ferocious beasts were also insignificant to him.
The entire space around him suddenly shook slightly. The blood flowing from the corpses of humans and ferocious beasts piled up in mountains was also pulled by a trace of strange force and flowed to the altar in the center of the array.
