Chapter 23 The Age of Our Decline

More than two hundred years have passed, and several generations have passed since the great flood.

Because the people of the Babylonian tribe were wearing animal skins and clothes, they no longer needed their natural thick hair to keep warm. Their thick black body hair gradually decreased, their bodies began to become taller, and their snow-white skin gradually emerged.

They began to move from apes with abundant hair to a sub-human race with sparse hair. Their body shape became closer and closer to the rugged, strong and muscular Western humans.

They once had a glorious civilized tribe and established a city-state era, but now they have not recovered. They are still a simple farming tribe and cannot even rebuild a city-state.

Their glory is all based on the great hero king, Gilgamesh.

The great hero king possesses the strongest power in the world. By relying on his own strength, he suppressed countless giant beasts in the world, making their Sumerian race the top of the food chain!

——But without the King of Heroes, they will have nothing.

They were unable to develop bronze tools. In the Iron Age, how could they fight against the tall behemoths with only simple stone spears and sticks?

The only holy sword of civilization, a metal weapon, the Sword of Damocles, has been buried forever with the hero king Gilgamesh in the great flood that destroyed the world, and sank into the endless deep sea.

Even now, they don't even have the ability to rebuild the city wall.

The royal city of Uruk was built by Gilgamesh alone. He personally moved huge rocks comparable to mountains to surround it, and it only took him a month.

But for ordinary people, the workload of building a giant city is comparable to the difficulty of building the pyramids in ancient Egypt. It takes more than ten years. In such an environment of hunger and cold, how can there be so much manpower and material resources?

At this moment.

Medea, the daughter of the leader of the Babylonian tribe, is sighing:

"Sumeer is really shameless. It was the epic era of one man, the great hero king Gilgamesh. No wonder people at that time praised him, wrote epic poems for him, and recorded his glory."

A vast epic and a glorious civilization.

Merchants, shops, Colosseum, slavery.

In the exquisite Uruk palace, there is a great heroic king who sits on the throne, with profound eyes and the sword of Damocles in his hand, overlooking all living beings.

"Our era has declined, heading towards decline and extinction. If the sword of civilization given by God had not been lost, even if we did not have the power of the blood of strength, we would not necessarily have such a difficult life."

"God, are you going to destroy our Babylonian tribe?"

"Civilization is the power that protects our intelligent species... I, Medea, want to know the way forward for our civilization! How on earth should we survive!!"

Medea has a calm face. She is the bravest and wisest person in the tribe. Her strength is not as good as that of men, but her killing skills enable her to defeat most of the warriors in the tribe.

She looked at the hunting team men wearing animal skins next to her and returned to reality, "How is the exploration of this area going?"

Surrounded by a swamp, it was densely rotten. A warrior replied, "This is a vast muddy swamp. It should be the muddy terrain formed by the accumulation of puddles after the great flood. There are many species in it and there are many delicious fruits."

Here, Xu Zhi used chicken dung and cow dung to create a fertile swamp, and the natural plants are more prosperous.

"A big flood?"

Medea took a deep breath and looked at the vast black mire of the swamp in front of her.

It is difficult to imagine the disaster more than two hundred years ago, the vast flood that submerged the entire world.

Gods possess unimaginable power. With just one move, they can destroy our entire world.

"Then there is plenty of food here, and it will be our tribe's next collection point..." Her eyes circulated for a week, and she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait, where is Galcai and Bolognese?"

Looking around, I also found that two people had disappeared.

This has never happened before.

The savage species in this land do not have much wisdom, and they will not attack weak humans, because people armed with rough stone spears and stone axes cannot break through the scales of giant beasts, and can only let the giant beasts slaughter them and use them as food.

.

"Something's wrong. This seemingly quiet and peaceful swamp is full of weirdness, and there are terrifying creatures that we don't know about." Medea's expression changed, "The huge size of the giant beast cannot set foot in the swamp, and it will only sink here.

There are no traces of giant beasts, there may only be small swamp creatures sneaking up on us."

"Walk!"

Medea made a prompt decision and left with more than 20 people.

But at this moment, a disgusting and curious gray-black tentacle monster suddenly appeared in the swamp. Its body was covered with tentacles that looked like gray seaweed, and its tentacles surrounded a huge scarlet eyeball filled with bloodshot eyes.

This is a body that is extremely out of proportion.

A large eyeball covered with bloodshot eyes actually occupies two-thirds of the body.

"What a nice view."

"How can there be such a beautiful girl in this world!"

Several strong men in animal skins suddenly looked into the evil-eyed creature's big, bloodshot eyeballs. They couldn't help but walked over enthusiastically, as if they were seeing a peerless beauty, and they were so excited that no one could hold them back.

"What are you doing!?"

"Don't go there!"

The surrounding Babylonian tribe warriors couldn't help but panic.

Such a weird and bizarre scene has subverted their cognition.

Medea, as the smartest person in the Babylonian tribe, instantly realized something, "What kind of terrible creatures are living in this muddy land?" Those strange evil giant eyeballs can actually charm prey and take the initiative to go there. The disappeared Galka and Bolognagas

, I’m afraid I’m just going to die by myself!”

"escape!"

She made a prompt decision, led everyone, and immediately abandoned the few people who were charmed, slowly walked over, and quickly ran away.

But at this moment, she suddenly stopped and her eyes became hot.

"What wonderful creatures these are... They are weaker than us humans, with weak soft tentacles and stupid huge eyeballs, but they have terrifying and incredible power and can destroy creatures that are more powerful than themselves."

"Aren't we just as weak? Why, they are the only ones with a unique power..." Medea, with fiery eyes, seemed to have an unknown torch burning in her eyes, and there was a terrible thought in her eyes.

Awakening in mind:

I want to seize its power and revitalize the tribe!!

"Kill it and let's escape!" Medea suddenly shouted.

"What?"

The warriors of the tribe were shocked.

She turned around and raised her white stone spear high.

A ray of light fell from the sky, falling on her beautiful and cold face, like the goddess of war in Nordic mythology, "Kill it with me, I will take its body back to the tribe!"
