The colonists who set foot in South America at that time went on one after another to obtain the treasures of the Inca Empire.

In that case, many legends and rumors inevitably appeared, and it is unknown what are pure rumors and which are clues with valuable real information attached.

"Payitti" is one of many rumors. It first appeared in some letters from the 1580s, claiming that the Incas destroyed treasures as a cover, and that Birkabamba was not their last stronghold.

This rumor believes that there is a city called "paikikin" deep in the mountains, which is the final fortress of the Incas. However, according to word of mouth, the Spanish mistakenly called Paikikin "gran paititi" according to their language habits...

According to the records of Jesuit Andrea Lopez, he claimed that the Inca royal family still ruled Paititi, and the city was extremely wealthy, even the inhabitants' clothes were covered with jewelry made of gold and silver.

At the same time, he also mentioned that the city is also the parking place for the Inca king's coffin. It is located deep in the rainforest and surrounded by many waterfalls. Although there is no specific location, he emphasized that the news he received is "very reliable"...

But no matter how reliable the proclaimed, until the 189th century, the exploring Paititi had no results, and people's enthusiasm also entered a trough, and frequent setbacks were enough to dispel any fantasies of adventurers.

Afterwards, this secret city, located deep in the mountains and jungle and surrounded by waterfalls, became a simple legend.

Until Miss Crawford was so talented... archaeologists emerged and rely on clues obtained from the ancient ruins excavated here in Cozumer, they followed the Peruvian jungle and broke into the legendary secret city...

At this point, fantasy and reality meet, and legends are no longer false.

"...We were involved in Paititi's internal power dispute. The leader of the rebel army, Queen Unuratu, gave us great help. Of course, it can be said that each of us needs, otherwise she would not trust us outsiders."

Miss Crawford smiled bitterly, but there was not much complaint in her tone.

"But later, when I found that secret place based on the map, I only found a serpentine silver statue there. The box of Ishichel was not there, and Queen Unuratu told me that the statue was the key to the Temple of the Mountain..."

Mo Chen didn't interrupt, just listened quietly and sorted out the information.

Miss Crawford's group has been working hard for such a month, constantly losing money, and has been involved in internal disputes in the Secret City, and inexplicably worked as a mercenary.

Explore, fight, try to find clues, interpret the information left by ruins, murals, and various ancient objects, deduce them bit by bit, and fill in the puzzle piece by piece, and finally successfully find the box of Ishichel.

In this process, she not only had to fight against the Holy Trinity Remnants who had laid the foundation in the Secret City, but also needed to fight against the humanoid creatures called "Ahir" in the gloomy, strange, dark and dark mysterious ancient tombs or underground ruins...

It is conceivable that the difficulty and horror of this process are indeed under great psychological pressure.

Moreover, the decryption process consumes extremely brain power. This is the real world, not a game, and it can also set the difficulty at will. Once the survival instinct is opened at low difficulty, the surrounding scenes will immediately change color.

Different colors give you different instructions, allowing you to pass the level easily. What's more, there are many opportunities in the game, and you can try it repeatedly, even more than one life, and save points...

Many times, Miss Crawford often has only one chance to try. Once it fails, it is not just a problem that the clues are cut off, but may also cause huge crises and face life danger in some special scenarios.

"Thank you so hard..." Mo Chen weighed the silver box in his hand, sighed, and said in a harmonious voice. "It's a pity that we had a dagger before but no box, but now we got the box and the dagger is gone."

"Yes, it's still too late... I don't know what happened yet. It was obvious that before the last contact, everything was normal. As a result, when we came over and saw nothing."

The girl with a ponytail pursed her lips and looked at the tragic post-disaster scene around her, with her expression very bad.

"Well, you said that the dagger cannot be moved before you get the silver box, otherwise it will cause various terrible natural disasters around the world. Now this phenomenon is..."

“…”

“…”

"It should be right. This tsunami is rather abnormal, not a purely natural phenomenon... and the time point of occurrence is also very subtle-"

Mo Chen nodded slightly: "It was after the dagger in the ruins was taken away by Naia... by Holy Trinity, in less than ten minutes, the tsunami suddenly submerged Kozumer."

Therefore, it can basically be considered that the dagger was suddenly touched and taken away from the altar in the ruins, resulting in the evil consequences.

Of course, it is also possible that the passing gods or demon kings could launch a tsunami of power and directly destroy Kozumer, but the probability was too slim. In addition, the dagger was indeed taken away by Naia, so there was no value for discussion.

He lowered his head and felt the heavy weight of the silver box in his hand. Mo Chen turned it over. There was no gap in all directions of the silver box, with only one side and a groove.

It is not very regular, but the sharp edge that should belong to the dagger can be inserted into it, and the groove that is tightly stitched together.

Just like a scabbard, scabbard, etc., this silver box is probably the sheath of a dagger. The sharp blade is hidden in it, which plays a role in containment and protection, and can also effectively suppress the power of the dagger itself.

Ishichel's Box...

Ishichel is an ancient divine in Mayan mythology, the goddess who manages water, textile, reproduction and the movement of the moon. Considering that most of the religious systems of the Aztecs are similar to Mayan culture, it seems normal to involve Mayan mythology.

"Ishichel's silver box was forged in heaven and was later taken to the world... I saw a huge sinkhole called the limestone pit near Paititi. This is what the information of the murals I saw in the remains below."

Miss Crawford saw the other party carefully looking at the silver box and started talking again.

"I suspect that the humanoid creatures called Yashir made the boxes, which were guarding them, and neither the false gods nor their fanatical believers could pass... According to the records in the murals, they hid the boxes there until the sun was reborn."

Speaking of this, her expression became very depressed-

"In fact, when we went in, we realized that the box had been taken away by the Trinity, and that was in the early seventeenth century, but the person who took the box also betrayed the Trinity..."

The man thought that once the box was brought back, the Holy Trinity would bring great disaster to the world, so he hid the box in a place he thought was safe.

The result was that the people who had sent out had never known that the people who had actually received the silver box, and were still pursuing them everywhere, traversing the world. Laura was also completely misled and went there in vain.

Although this situation is really ridiculous, Miss Crawford is not a complaining person. After just asking a few words, she returned to the topic and said a message that she thought was very important:

"When I was in Paititi, Queen Unuratu told me that when the disaster came, the god Kukurkan must sacrifice himself to the sun, otherwise the world will perish."

Kukulkan is the Mayan saying of the Feathered Snake God.

The image of a giant snake covered with feathers is a deity widely believed in the Central American civilization. In the Aztec mythology, He is honored as Quyzalkoyatel, and in the Mayan mythology, He is Kukulkan.

It represents death and rebirth, symbolizes the abundant favors of the earth, brings rainy season, dominates the morning star, and also has the legend that once ruled the first issue of the Sun God...

The main god who holds multiple complex attributes is undoubtedly the top class among the gods. Compared with Veresrana, King Mecal, etc., it is not inferior to ancient divinity that can be included in the same ranks.

"Sacrifice to the god?" Mo Chen couldn't help but smile, "Are you still specifying to sacrifice to the feathered snake god? In this way, does our current world belong to the First Sun Age?"

"Or it might be the fifth Sun Age. In the Aztec mythology, the Feathered Snake God became the sun of the Second Sun Age, so the mythology said that He once took charge of the first period of the Sun God..."

Miss Crawford said seriously, and she began to think seriously.

"According to mythology, after the destruction of the first four epochs, He would not accept the destruction of his own people, so the fifth sun was born, but there are many different opinions on who the fifth sun is..."

"It's another fire transmission system, one after another, the gods went up to burn themselves." Mo Chen curled his lips.

"Anyway, according to their myth, either the sun will eventually blacken for five days, and the world will be crushed by a catastrophic earthquake; or the sun will eventually be extinguished and the world will perish in the earthquake..."

There is also the saying that the world was shattered by terrifying earthquakes and humans were swallowed by monsters from the sky.

Anyway, no matter which version it is, the only common point is that the earth will be torn apart by a super earthquake from the inside out... Compared to this, Mo Chen prefers the first legendary prophecy.

That is the version of "The Sun and the Five Black Days".

Because in the original plot, at the last moment, the sun was indeed in complete darkness. If Laura had not completed the ceremony and expelled the solar eclipse, it would have been hard to say what would have happened afterwards.

Next, we have to search for Naia's traces with all our might, but the dagger and the silver box are matching, and the mysterious connection between them is very clear and strong.

As long as Naia is not blocked, it is only a matter of time before Mo Chen captures the clues of the dagger. Naia should not block the connection, but will deliberately leave clues, just like the image of His incarnation and the name he claims to be, they are clues specifically left for Mo Chen.

Because He is such a chaotic existence.

"Speaking of this, I can't believe it's true until now."

Miss Crawford turned her head and looked at the surrounding refugee camps and the ruins of the town that had re-exposed after the floods receded.

"I've been doing archaeological work here and lived as an archaeologist for two months. I feel like I've become familiar with the land, I even know most of the people in the town...but now, nothing is gone."

Mo Chen blinked: "Do you feel cruel?"

"Yes, and it's too sudden, I don't give me time to accept it. When I got on the helicopter last night, when I called, everything was fine..."

Miss Crawford closed her eyes and breathed heavily, as if she was suppressing some emotions.

"But when I came here, I saw not islands and towns, not ports and local residents, but a country of terrain... It's hard for you to imagine that feeling."

Mo Chen didn't know how to answer this question.

However, Miss Crawford shook her head, then forced herself to make a tough smile: "I'm not so fragile that I can't accept such a thing. The experiences of Xiematai and Siberia have taught me, I just... just..."

She paused for a while, as if she didn't know how to describe her feelings: "It might be too sudden. If I were to let me know about this matter more tactfully, I might be more likely to accept it."

As she said that, she reached out to her hand—

"Like there, I remember the location of the hotel where I lived on the island for two months, and I was very familiar with the local residents nearby, and I even remember that there was a not-so-looking kitten in the hotel... Now, it's all gone."

"This... I feel sad." Mo Chen opened his mouth and could only say that.

"There is no need to do this, I just feel it's too sudden. It's like that cat, if someone told me that it would climb up a big tree to catch birds during the time I left, and accidentally fell down, not like this now..."

She waved her fist in annoyance. Miss Crawford obviously felt unacceptable to all this. She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her full breasts kept rising and falling.

Finally, she calmed down and turned to look at someone: "By the way, Ross stayed with Kozumer, is he okay?"

“…”

“…”

Mo Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, then turned his face and looked away: "The old man climbed up the big tree to catch birds yesterday..."
