Chapter 991 Encounter with Kunyang people

The sudden noise at the door caused Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi in the temple to stop searching the temple, and slowly looked back nervously.

The door of the temple has been closed, which obscures the capture of outside sounds, but it also forms a strong fortress, making the two people inside feel a little more at ease.

Qin Zhibo walked quietly to the door, put his ear against the stone wall, and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

It was a scattered running sound, which seemed to come from some kind of terrible beast, rumbling and rumbling.

The sound gradually dispersed around the temple and turned into a more leisurely sound of footsteps in place.

Qin Zhibo frowned, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

It seems that these "visitors" are not just passing by, but come here with a purpose.

Koizumi Hongzi tugged Qin Zhibo's arm and cast a questioning look at him, "What should I do now?"

Qin Zhibo responded with a hissing gesture. Now they could silently pray for each other to leave this place and prepare for battle, but they could not take the risk of opening the bolted door and actively exposing themselves to the unknown environment.

For this reason, Qin Zhibo had already unhooked the holster on his waist and held the Colt revolver in his hand, ready to give the intruder a Magnum bullet at any time.

At this moment, a loud knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Bang, bang, bang.

The thunderous sound shattered the two's desire to settle the matter. This was definitely some kind of creature knocking on the door in an organized and rhythmic manner. They were knocking on the door with a purpose.

Along with the loud noise from the door, Qin Zhibo, who was relatively close to the door, heard some words first.

These words are not meaningless notes, but words with sharp pronunciation.

But Qin Zhibo, who is proficient in five languages, cannot understand the meaning of these words, let alone respond.

The "people" outside heard no response from inside, and spoke another word with a different pronunciation. It was obviously not the same language as the sharply pronounced words just now.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi took a step forward and whispered to Qin Zhibo.

"I understand, he's speaking Spanish."

"It means 'open the door and let us in'."

Qin Zhibo: "?"

Why does this sentence sound so much like the nursery rhyme "Little rabbit, be good and open the door"?

Then if I open the door, wouldn’t it mean that I am not as intelligent as an animal?

The door definitely couldn't be opened, but Qin Zhibo was at least certain that the person standing outside was some kind of intelligent creature, which might even be infinitely close to "human".

But there are good people and bad people, so we still need to be vigilant here.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to summon Minase Youmeng and let her use her bug-like ability to penetrate walls to go out and observe the situation outside.

But just when Qin Zhibo was about to do this, a human figure walked through the wall first!

The translucent and almost virtual body passed through the thick stone wall and appeared straight in the temple. The strange appearance made the two people in the temple feel shocked.

Qin Zhibo: "!"

Koizumi Anko: "Ah!"

Qin Zhibo, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately subconsciously raised his revolver, and a Magnum bullet spurted out from the flames at the muzzle.

Pia!

But the bullet flew to the virtual body and did not stop at all. Instead, it passed directly through the body and hit the stone wall behind it, splashing some broken stones.

Qin Zhibo's eyes widened as he looked at the incredible scene in front of him.

The figure seemed to have realized that some kind of dangerous weapon had hit him just now. He looked back at the shattered rocks behind him and then turned to tell the two of them his intention.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. It was 'Gaai-Youshis' who told us that there were outsiders on the plains, so we came here to check."

"Are you humans from outside? People on the ground?"

The man in front of him, wearing this exquisite robe and carrying a long sword at his waist, has a face similar to that of an Indian. He does not look like a kind person, nor is he as evil as imagined.

He just stared at Qin Zhibo intently without opening his mouth, and these thoughtful words appeared in the latter's head.

Qin Zhibo: "!"

Qin Zhibo was startled again, and he confirmed in his heart that these words that suddenly appeared were not produced by his mind, but came from the "person" in front of him.

But even so, Qin Zhibo still took half a step back cautiously and spoke to Koizumi Hongzi.

"You ask him in Spanish, who are they?"

Koizumi Anko nodded and communicated with the other party fluently in Spanish.

Soon, she got the answer.

"He said they are Kunyang people and residents here."

"He invites us out to be guests in their city. What should we do?"

Qin Zhibo frowned. From the various signs he had just seen on the plain, he guessed that there was some kind of civilization in this place.

But he didn't expect that this civilization could be so similar to humans. The human body shape resembled the face of an Indian.

Maybe, as Running Bull said, they are the ghosts of the Indian ancestors, coming from an era older than the Maya.

However, judging from the psychic communication and virtualization abilities this person has mastered, they are still much more advanced than modern humans.

Under this situation, Qin Zhibo felt that it was not appropriate to anger the other party. This was his/her territory, so he should obey first and see what the situation was.

Maybe the other party really doesn't have any malicious intentions, and by the way, you can get information about Enkai.

"You tell him, 'I'm sorry for my overreaction just now. We undoubtedly offended them and just walked in here by accident.'"

What Qin Zhibo taught Koizumi Hongzi said was not very convincing, because the word "accidental" could not explain the various equipments the two were equipped with.

But after Koizumi Hongzi said this to the person, the person was not angry, but said that he could understand.

Next, he will exit here, and then wait for the two of them to take the initiative to open the door of the temple.

When the disembodied body slowly retreated to the other side of the wall, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief.

But the danger was not far away. Both of them knew that the man and his noisy army were outside.

"Hongzi, go and find if there is any other exit here."

Qin Zhibo immediately ordered Koizumi Hongzi to find a way out, and he summoned Minase Harumu and asked him to go through the wall and take a look at the situation outside.

After a while, Minase Yomeng floated back.

"There are more than twenty people outside, and they are all riding monsters!"

"monster?"

Qin Zhibo's brain reacted and he remembered the flat-faced monster wearing a saddle on the plains.

These ugly beasts are their mounts.

The "informant" that the man just mentioned who informed them of their existence should be this creature called "Gaai-Yuhis".

Qin Zhibo remembered that when he met them near the temple, they looked at them for a while and then turned away. It turned out that they had gone to report!

mean!

Qin Zhibo felt that he had made a mistake because he failed to realize that this creature had certain intelligence.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi also came back from the depths of the temple and said that there was no other exit from this place.

Qin Zhibo had also expected it, because there was no investigation point here, which meant that there was no secret door here.

The bolted door in front of you is the only entrance and exit.

After thinking for a while, Qin Zhibo decided to open the door proactively to avoid irritating the other party.

There is a lever inside the temple. Push it upward, and a complex hinge system will slowly raise the heavy stone door.

As Minase Yomu said, there were almost twenty people standing outside, all riding animals, surrounding the place.

Being surrounded, Qin Zhibo felt a sense of oppression.

But at the same time, he also discovered that the bodies of these people are currently solid, which shows that their bodies can switch between solid and virtual.

They are not ghosts, but living people.

One of the people standing next to the livestock spoke first. He was also the person who had just entered the temple to communicate with Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

He was dressed slightly differently from the others. The yellow robe was more elegant, and he seemed to be a little boss-like existence.

He said a lot of words in Spanish "Jili Guala", and Koizumi Hongzi translated his words to Qin Zhibo.

"He said his name was 'Hasaj' and he was the captain of this sentry team."

“He once again invited us to visit their city, ‘Zato’.”

After hearing this, Qin Zhibo was not a fool.

They are sentry troops, not tour guides of a sightseeing group. Naturally, they are not invited as guests, but become their prisoners.

But even so, Qin Zhibo looked around at the opponent's more than 20 people. They were all strong and strong, and with their ugly mounts, it was difficult to break through from here.

Even if they can break through, the opponent still doesn't know how to notify other sentries nearby, causing even greater trouble.

"Tell them that respect is worse than obeying orders. We are willing to go."

Koizumi Hongzi expressed their willingness to comply in Spanish, and the leader, Captain Hasaj, nodded with satisfaction.

Hasaj turned his head and silently ordered his men to separate two animals for Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi to ride on.

Letting two people ride on an animal will, on the one hand, be able to quickly bring the people back to Zatuo; on the other hand, they can control the movement of the animal to prevent them from deviating from the direction and trying to escape.

Qin Zhibo saw this, but he couldn't refuse.

He selected one of the horned animals, turned over and climbed onto the monster's broad back.

Although this monster named "Gaai-Yousi" is very ugly, it is not a big deal to Qin Zhibo, who has seen more strange things.

He has even ridden Mi-Go. He is very brave, isn’t he?

But for Koizumi Anko, this kind of extremely ugly mount was beyond the scope of what she could accept. She shook her head and refused to get on it.

Qin Zhibo had no choice but to let her ride on the same animal as him, while the other animal carried the backpacks of two people.

In this way, the team continued to move in an unknown direction.



On the way, Qin Zhibo did not remain silent, but took advantage of the other party's at least superficially friendly attitude to inquire about the information here.

In this regard, Khasajj had nothing to hide and told Qin Zhibo many things generously.

First of all, these Kunyang people strictly speaking do not have a language, or in other words, they got rid of the shackles of language on communication thousands of years ago and can communicate with each other telepathically.

This method is not only applicable among Kunyang people, but also applies to "outsiders" like Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo only needs to stare into the other person's eyes when he wants to speak and think of the words to express in his mind.

As for what Khasaj said when he knocked on the door just now, it was because spiritual communication was not possible through the door, so he tried several more languages ​​to try to communicate.

Most of these languages ​​are learned from outsiders on the ground.

With this convenient way of communication, Qin Zhibo no longer relies on Koizumi Hongzi to act as a translator and can communicate with Kazakhstan.

In his description, these Kunyang people living underground are a very ancient race, coming from an extremely distant planet in the universe with a physical environment similar to that of the Earth.

Of course, this is just a long-standing legend, and the people of Kunyang today do not know where their hometown is.

They were able to come to the earth because the legendary "Tulu" brought them here.

Hasaj said, "Tulu is a great being with an octopus head, just like what you saw in the temple just now."

Only then did Qin Zhibo understand that what the Kunyang people called "Tulu" was "Cthulhu".

But then a disaster occurred.

The Kunyan people believed that it was a terrible disaster caused by the "violent devil" in the universe, which caused Cthulhu to sink into the ocean together with a large swath of the ancient continent, and Cthulhu was sealed in an icy undersea tomb.

.

After the disaster, only a small number of Kunyang people survived, and they turned to underground life until now.

The Kunyang people have lived underground for a long time and have maintained a high degree of vigilance for a long time, regarding foreign invaders as spies of the "devil".

It was not until the past few hundred years that the Kunyang people realized that the outside world had undergone earth-shaking changes, and began to be "friendly" to outsiders.



On the way to Satuo, Hasaj told Qin Zhibo, an outsider, most of the origins of their "Kunyang people".

This made Qin Zhibo have some good impressions, it seems that this is an upright race.

Although they believe in "Tulu", which is Cthulhu, they do not worship it as crazy as the Innsmouth people.

In addition to the octopus-headed god, Hasaj also introduced that they also believe in many other gods.

Tulu, Ig, Tsathoggua, Shub-Nicholas, and the one who cannot be named...

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. The belief of this Kunyang man was indeed complicated. Even the nameless ones, Hastur, the King in Yellow, believed in it.

But what concerned him more now was the "Satogua" in Khasaj's mouth.

In the magic book of Koizumi Anko, the "Toad God" Satorgua lives in the abyss under Enkai.

According to legend, this god taught the great magician Ibon the powerful magic that transcends time and space, and is therefore sought after by many magicians.

And the end point of this trip is Enkai with Tsathogya.

So at this moment, Qin Zhibo wanted to know more about Satogua.

"Excuse me, how can I get to the place where Sathogya is?"

Qin Zhibo looked directly at Hasaj and conveyed his thoughts.

But the moment Hasaji accepted this idea, his eyes immediately changed and he let out a sharp cry.

He yelled before communicating with Qin Zhibo through spiritual communication.

"No, you can't go."

"That's not a place anyone can go to..."
