At the end of the stairs, there were several red and black tree men about five meters tall.
Except for the relatively large size of these monsters, which have certain individual differences, other physical details are similar. They are nothing more than the appearance of the tree people in the most standard fantasy movies.
The only difference is that their heads are covered with red tubes similar to pitcher plants, which look very un-human.
And these monsters that looked full of threats are now all dead.
Yes, they were all dead, and their fatal injuries were similar.
Not only are they very similar in appearance, these strange tree people even die in roughly the same way.
Every one of them had their bodies destroyed by violence, and then a big hole was dug out from the core of the body.
Looking at Cyril who was also in shock next to him, Karl immediately asked:
"Hey, what on earth is this?"
"How do I know?"
After answering Karl blankly, Cyril explained as she walked forward:
"The underground civilization I've seen doesn't have a way to summon or control this kind of strange tree people, even if..."
snap
Just as Cyril was moving forward, her feet suddenly staggered.
Immediately afterwards, no longer caring about the remains of the dead tree men, Cyril shouted with a look of horror:
"You guys, come here and take a look!"
Seeing that Cyril's mood was so intense, Carl and the others immediately rushed over.
Just where Cyril stumbled, they found the footprints of a terrifying thing.
This footprint is a footprint in the literal sense.
But unlike Poseidon's footprints that were stepped on the dust, the footprints here are deeply embedded in the ground.
And there are even obvious cracks around the footprints.
In other words, someone stepped on it!
Right on this wooden floor!
"Celiel, it shouldn't be the ground here..."
"No."
Before Cyril could answer Karl's question, Naia on the side came over curiously, and at the same time answered Karl's doubts:
"The wood in the entire city is one piece, and there is not much difference in hardness."
"If I have to say it, I feel that the wood here is harder than the ones outside."
"..."
Listening to Naiya's explanation, Karl fell silent.
On the wooden floor that I couldn't pierce with a knife with all my strength, someone actually stepped down and made a footprint, and even caused such obvious cracks.
What kind of monster can have such power!
Is this Ultraman or Godzilla?
And while listening to the conversation between the two people, Cyril was not idle either.
"call"
After getting over the initial shock, she immediately leaned down and blew away the dust near the footprints, and then began to look at this thing.
After looking at it for a few times, she continued:
"The owner of this footprint is a woman, and her height should be between 1.3 and 1.4 meters."
Then she stretched out her hand and touched the terrible mark herself. Cyril added:
"There are no signs of corrosion or prying on the footprints. The owner of this footprint relied entirely on his own pure strength to create this thing."
While saying this, Ceryl also picked out a piece of sawdust from the crack of the turtle near the footprints, and then put it into her pocket as if she had found a treasure.
"One meter three to one meter four..."
Listening to Ceryl's explanation, Carl felt his head was heavy.
First of all, Cyril's judgment about the footprints should not be wrong, so these are the traces left by humans.
So based on the normal human development speed, the guy who caused this sign is not even an adult yet, just a little girl.
What kind of experience could give such a little girl such terrifying power?
Looking at Ceryl who was meditating there, Karl then asked again:
"Celiel, do you know of any gods that fit this situation?"
The only hope that can be placed now is that this thing was left by a certain god, so that the matter can be explained.
As a result, as soon as Karl's question came out of his mouth, Cyril shook her head decisively.
"Not to mention the gods I know, even the male gods who are known for their power among all the gods cannot possibly cause such terrible marks."
"And men can't do it, let alone women."
"..."
hehe.
This time it's great, even God is excluded.
So, if you look at it this way, the footprints are probably left by the mastermind behind the scenes, right?
Although he had made some preparations in advance, Karl never expected that his final enemy would actually be a young girl who was still an adult?
"Let others take a look~~"
While the two were engaging in questions and answers, Naia also squeezed over and touched the footprints on the ground with her hands.
Finally, when he touched the footprints on the ground, the evil god froze with a curious expression on his face.
Immediately, the evil god jumped up from where he was, and then wailed with disbelief on his face:
"For God's sake, this is not scientific!"
"Naya?"
Seeing Naiya, who had always been off-line, react like this, Karl immediately looked over in confusion:
"Did you also discover anything new?"
Holding Karl's shoulders, Naia opened her eyes wide and said in a stuttering tone:
"This...this footprint!"
"It also has a history of more than a billion years, which is similar to this city!"
So Carl was shocked again.
Since he time traveled, today should be the day he has been shocked the most.
Assuming that the knowledge in his mind has not been completely returned to the biology teacher and history teacher, then in his memory, it seems that the history of mankind is not so long, right?
More than a billion years ago, monkeys...
In other words, in an era when primates didn't even have a shadow, there was actually a human girl who left her footprints here.
If this story is told, the coffin boards that Darwin was buried in for more than twenty years may not be able to hold it!
Looking at Nyarlathotep with an extremely abstract expression, Karl adjusted his tone and said very seriously:
"Naiya, don't joke about this."
"When we come this time, there is a high probability that we will encounter a battle situation. It is best if we don't make mistakes with these more important information."
"I didn't lie to you!"
Seeing Karl's face full of disbelief, Naia immediately pointed to the footprints on the ground and said:
"Even if I wanted to joke with you, I wouldn't do it under these circumstances."
"After all, if something goes wrong with you, I will go back to the dream world!"
"..."
After receiving Naiya's serious assurance, Karl had no choice but to forcefully convince himself and believed the news for the time being.
In other words, more than a billion years ago, there was a human girl here...
