The first thousand four hundred and ninety-seventh chapter is on the verge of root
Going north, the weather gets colder.
The howling cold wind swept the fine dust across the plain, blowing the light and unknown downy plants everywhere on the ground. A desolate air enveloped the entire plain, and the cold wind seemed to be speaking silently.
This world is in such a barbaric stage. It is rare to see tall vegetation in the endless wasteland. Due to the cold climate zone here, and also due to the low temperature environment that has not completely faded all over the world, only a few trees can be seen on the wasteland.
Seeing those listless low bushes and clusters of nameless weeds here and there, this is really not a place suitable for life.
Of course it's not suitable for hunting either.
Of course there are still hunting grounds and plants, but there is a relatively lush coniferous forest dozens of kilometers away from this wasteland. There are medium-sized pastures around the coniferous forest, and some of them form colonies.
Herbivores and a few predators roam that place, and they support two small primitive tribes. Of course, the reverse is also true, and the primitive tribes also support the carnivorous beasts in the forest.
This is an era when humans and beasts are in the same class and prey on each other.
Hao Ren wore a frayed leather robe and climbed onto a rock protruding from the ground. His attire looked weathered, but for the aborigines here and now, this attire was still a magical thing that was difficult to understand. He held his hand
The pergola looks far into the distance, looking deeper into the wasteland: this place full of gravel and tundra plants looks the same everywhere, but after walking here, you don’t have to worry about getting lost, because there is a very eye-catching "landmark".
Standing in the distance, it is a white pointed cone reflecting the sun. It looks like a white tower from a distance. In fact, it is a huge ice cube. It is called "Tatumnu" by the locals in awe, which is a mouthful.
The translation of the word means "grave made of ice", and the meaning of the word is quite majestic.
Hao Ren looked back, and two thin men wrapped in animal skins immediately looked like they were shrinking in his eyes. Their skin was light brown, their faces were smeared with paint made of grass juice and animal blood, and their hands were tight.
Holding sticks and spears with stone spearheads, they are warriors in the tribe. However, they are still frightened when they look at Hao Ren. This is simple: the power beyond understanding makes these two people who only have primitive religion
The concept aroused great fear among the tribal natives. The terrifying scene of Hao Ren single-handedly hunting mammoths with a glowing spear still lingers in the minds of these two tribal warriors.
This is a temporary guide. In this era where there is no landmark landscape, no historical records can be found, and even the topography is not consistent with that of later generations, it is a painful thing to be without a guide. When I look back one time
Hao Ren has been trekking alone in the Gobi Desert for nearly a month, so as long as he has the conditions, he will definitely try to trick one or two local guides into coming here.
Fortunately, as we get closer and closer to ancient times, it becomes easier and easier to deceive and deceive guides. Many times, these primitive people who are full of awe of nature and mysterious power just need to show a power beyond their understanding.
I will offer my loyalty respectfully.
Of course, there is a bad side. Communication with primitive people is always a bit troublesome. Although the translation plug-in can solve the language problem, the difference in worldview cannot be ignored. Many times, Hao Ren has to choose from a lot of specious and crude vocabulary.
Guess whether they meant what they said.
At this time, he couldn't help but miss his friends who had left the team, such as Lily, Hessiana, Hasselblad and Hesperius. Although the two of them usually were either cold to each other or said nasty things to each other, at least the three of them
The views are all on approximately the same horizontal line.
But they have all left. Hesperus left the queue in 4705 BC, and Hasselblad accompanied Hao Ren until 6012 BC. After that, Hao Ren continued to travel alone. In this history
Go upstream in the long river and explore the increasingly wild ancient earth.
"That's where the great god sleeps?"
Hao Ren shook his head, pushed aside all irrelevant things, raised his hand and pointed at the huge iceberg in the distance and asked.
The two tribal warriors waved their arms downward once, which in their habits meant affirmation, and then the taller one said: "Yes, that's right. The surrounding ice will melt, but that piece of ice will never melt."
Melt, this used to be our hunting ground, but now no one dares to come."
Hao Ren nodded. He already knew something about this. He had found out clearly when he was in the primitive tribe: this plain was not as barren as it is now a long time ago. Although the low temperature environment during the retreat of the glaciation made the vegetation appear sparse,
At least there were some wild animals on the plains, even if not many, they could still support a few small tribes during the difficult times at the end of the Ice Age. But then a "great god" passed by the plains, and she was hunted by someone.
Angered by predators, they froze the entire plain with large blocks of ice. This led to several tribes on the plain having to migrate to the jungle where predators were active. To this day, only the tribes that migrated there are left.
two.
The Great God lives on the plain, and the tribes living nearby firmly believe this: Although the big ice block that originally covered the entire land has melted, an iceberg-like serac remains in the middle of the plain. Even if this huge piece of ice is
It will not shrink in any way even under direct sunlight or being burned by fire. Around the ice, it becomes extremely difficult for plants to grow, and wild animals are afraid to approach in fear. These are all proofs that the great god lives here.
The superstitious tribesmen believe that this is the punishment of the Great God that has not yet ended. She wants the expelled tribes to use their bravery to prove who is qualified to return to their homeland. Therefore, the two tribes in the distant forest have been arguing continuously over the years.
Hao Ren didn't care about the blind and ignorant myths of primitive people. He could only be sure of one thing: the "great god" who could freeze the entire plain with big ice blocks as mentioned by the nearby tribesmen should be Vivian.
"I want to go there." Hao Ren said casually.
The two tribal warriors who came as guides were startled, and then showed great panic at the same time. They were trembling all over and backed away: "No, no, no, no one can get close to the place where the great god is. We will be frozen."
It turns into ice cubes and then melts when the sun rises the next day..."
Hao Ren looked at the panic of these two primitive people. He could imagine what a terrible legend Vivian's sleeping place held in the minds of these ignorant ancient humans. If he forced them to follow him to dig Vivian's grave,
, these two primitive men wearing animal skins would probably be scared to death.
So he shook his head: "You go back, I will go alone."
Then he took out two alloy daggers from his pocket and handed them to the two temporary guides: "As promised before, this is a reward for you."
The two tribal warriors carefully took over these two weapons that had never appeared in their world view. They quickly confirmed its sharpness and strength, and both of them looked extremely surprised.
Ignoring the thoughts of the two primitive men, Hao Ren stepped off the ledge and walked towards the Ice Crown Tower in the distance.
The cold north wind blew again.
As he walked, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Looking at this uninhabited frozen Gobi, he even felt that he was the only one left in the whole world. This journey of historical retrospection had already begun.
How long? He couldn't even figure it out. He kept traveling through the twisted and messy time and space, and the time confusion also led to sensory confusion. He went from the advanced city of human civilization to the dark and barbaric Middle Ages, and then from the backward
The Middle Ages entered the glorious age of myth, and then from the age of myth to the barbaric ancient times. Advanced and backward, civilized and barbaric, humans and aliens each built two completely different landscapes in different historical periods, and all kinds of mutual interactions
Contradictory things are distributed in a spiral on this historical track, so much so that as a passerby, Hao Ren is not even sure whether he is moving along a continuous timeline.
The further into ancient times, the more obvious this feeling becomes.
Sometimes his last stop was an ignorant and primitive natural tribe, and his next step was to enter a steel city transformed from a stranded starship. After leaving the steel city, he plunged into a certain theocratic country.
The next stop might be filled with magic and steam...
The aliens did not immediately build a great empire in the mythical age after arriving on Earth. They also went through the early pioneering stage. The initial alien stronghold may just be a broken city wreckage or a crumbling alien space fragment, and then they
It took hundreds or even thousands of years to figure out how to use these things from the home world. After that, we began to turn our attention to the original intelligent inhabitants of this planet, that is, the people on earth.
At this moment, Hao Ren was at the point where the aliens had just landed on the earth and were still trapped in their respective traps.
The huge ice block was already very close. From this distance, Hao Ren noticed that it was really huge. The height of the cone-shaped ice structure might be more than a hundred meters. The cold breath spread outward from the giant ice.
A semi-permanent frozen area was formed in a nearby area of several hundred meters, and traces of strange blood-red colors were irregularly distributed in this white frozen area, like capillaries under the skin.
Hao Ren's gaze crossed the ice tower and landed on a mountain peak in the distance. He could see a pillar of light rising from the mountain peak and slowly sweeping across half of the sky.
That was the observation tower built by Odin and his tribe. The Nordic gods, who had just recovered from the alien syndrome, were about to begin observing this mysterious and strange planet. They had hundreds of sick and weak tribesmen who needed food and
The nourishment of medicine; in the southern part of the plain, a tribe of rune dwarves is carving words on the bodies of young tribesmen and celebrating the coming out of the first furnace of steel; in the more distant mountains, Zeus has just set foot on the planet.
Looking for rocks that can be used as building materials in the mountains to repair the houses on Mount Olympus that collapsed due to space shocks; in the ancient Nile River Basin, Ra's sun boat plunged half of its body into the jungle, and Osiris
Isis and Isis looked at the damaged propulsion engine and were helpless, and prepared to formulate a thousand-year spacecraft repair plan...
As for humans, humans have not yet recovered from the coldness of the Ice Age, and their tribes are not ready to welcome the Age of Gods, but the Age of Mythology has arrived with a bang.
Hao Ren came to the foot of the Ice Tower. Through the thick ice, he seemed to be able to see the "princess" sleeping in the ice.
He put his hand on the ice and sighed softly: "Vivian, I found you again."
It is now 7715 BC, the glacier has receded, and everything is resurrected. 8)
