global pollution

Professor Ford sighed, and said in a helpless tone: "The plane is running out of fuel, and even taking off is a problem."

Lanaya was stunned: "Then don't we all want to..."

Died here?

She didn't say the last half of the sentence.

"If there is no miracle."

Professor Ford replied sadly.

After experiencing despair twice, Lanaya almost collapsed. She couldn't stand upright and swayed. Xia Ren hurriedly supported her and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm with you."

Professor Ford was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "Although I don't know if it will be useful, but I found some incredible secrets in a tower in front, which may be helpful."

"Any sliver of hope is worth trying right now!"

Xia Ren said.

Professor Fude smiled, probably admiring Xia Ren for not losing confidence at this time.

"Then come with me."

Next, led by Professor Ford, they walked through the complex rock wall road for a few minutes. After walking out of the last rock wall, the vision in front of them suddenly opened up.

This is an incomparably huge square, its area is even bigger than the square ridge outside, and in the center of the square stands a cylindrical building, which is a tall building regularly arranged on its surface With windows without glass, the naked eye can't even estimate its height and number of floors, because further up, part of it is hidden in the mist, full of unknown mysteries.

Human beings will never be able to build such a building. From the outside, this giant high-rise building is made of piles of stones. It is hard to imagine that the hardness of these stones and the precision of their cutting can support such a huge building. Judging from the exposed parts, it is far taller than any known human-built building on Blue Star.

Lanaya and Xia Ren stood on the edge of the square, looking up at ninety degrees, shocked and speechless.

"When I first saw it, I was just like you."

Professor Ford continued to walk forward and said, "Go in quickly, we don't have much time."

The gust of wind passed through the unshielded windows and shuttled through the building, making creepy and strange noises. The two came back to their senses and hurriedly followed.

Passing through the square, they came to the foot of the building. The outer wall here had already begun to crack, and the stone surface was riddled with holes. One could not help but worry that the building would collapse suddenly.

Following Professor Ford, they entered the first floor of the building.

The entire floor here is a magnificent palace with a semi-circular dome. Due to the protection of the outer wall, the corrosion of the palace wall is relatively clear, and most of the places are still intact.

They have experienced too many surprises in the past few days, so when faced with such scenes, they have become a little numb.

Even if it wasn't so shocking here, it would be weird.

The arched structure was used in this megalithic palace, and there was no central pillar. They could not know what kind of architectural principles the builders used to balance and stabilize the huge rocks.

Straight line stripes nearly two meters wide spread from the floor to the bottom of the huge circular stone wall, and when they reached the top of the stone wall, they transformed into geometric vine patterns of the same width, clinging to the entire stone wall.

And the semi-circular ceiling above the head is a whole huge relief!

The reliefs vividly depict the complex and subtle life moments of some plants or animals, which are so exquisite that even the current photographic technology is no better than it, and considering that it is carved, it may not be With the help of sophisticated instruments, the difficulty of this relief is no less than that of humans standing in the atmosphere to paint!

"These buildings may have appeared in the Bai Dynasty, and their builders existed and possessed wisdom a billion years ago, perhaps even earlier."

Professor Ford looked at the relief and said suddenly.

Xia Ren opened his eyes wide: "How do you judge such a long time?"

Bai Ji!The ancestors of human beings are still a group of primitive mammals, the meteorite has never landed, and a large number of dinosaurs are still roaming the continent.

And what is the concept of a billion years ago?

At that time, the life on the blue star was still slowly evolving from single-celled organisms to multi-celled ones. All life forms were so simple that it was outrageous. In that primordial period, life would be complicated and highly evolved. It is even more inconceivable than someone saying that Lan Xing has gone crazy...

Professor Ford didn't feel any emotion because of his doubts, but said: "Look carefully, what is the relief expressing."

Both Xia Ren and Lanaya tried their best to raise their heads, trying to analyze the content of the relief.

Their sculptors seem to have used a very wonderful technique. Even if they can't understand the language and characters, as long as they are intelligent creatures with a certain understanding ability, they can see the meaning of the carvings.

A door opened before their eyes, and behind the door was knowledge that humans had never mastered and understood.

The origin of the story on the relief is not in Blue Star.

Chapter 117 Mountains of Madness: The History of the Old Ones

At the beginning of the story, a group of creatures with star-shaped heads waved huge membranous wings and shuttled among the stars. They have extremely advanced scientific knowledge and social forms, and their body tissues are extremely tough. They have conquered several planets. Later, one of this group of ancient races came to Blue Star.

At that time, most of the blue stars were still covered by the ocean, and they lived at the bottom of the ocean, and in order to satisfy their own food, they created the first blue star life.

They also created a protoplasmic multicellular body, commanding each other with a crystal, as slaves to be driven by the Old Ones.

These slaves are called shoggoths.

Shoggoths are formless and formless, composed of shapeless green jelly, and the surface is covered with eyeballs. Because the body has no fixed shape, Shoggoths can control the body cells to transform into any desired form to complete Various jobs.

Relying on their super technological power and tough body, the ancients once built their own cities in various places of Blue Star. From the analysis of the pictures on the reliefs, their group is likely to have a socialist form.The elders lived a long life, reproduced through spores, and rarely died, and whenever their kind died, they would bury their bodies upright on a five-pointed star-shaped mound.

Seeing this, Xia Ren instantly turned pale with fright.

He recalled the corpses of the six monsters buried vertically under the pentagram yesterday afternoon, those were the ancients!And this proves that there are still ancients who have awakened in the mountains!

This giant palace was built by Shoggoth to curry favor with the ancients, so the reliefs were not completed at the beginning, and all the supplementary carvings were added later.

Later, Xia Ren and the others saw a tragic war broke out between the ancients and some other strange races that came to Blue Star later. Due to the defect of the relief, they did not see the appearance of those races clearly, but then, in the ancient After the Shoggoths repelled the other races, a Shoggoth rebellion broke out among them.

Although the rebellion was suppressed in the end, the ancients also lost part of their technology. What's more serious is that due to their long-term comfort in the blue star environment, their physical functions have been severely degraded, and they have lost the ability to travel through space. ability.

In the Jurassic period, the ancients were once again invaded by space races. The new invaders were strange creatures that looked half like fungi and half like crustaceans. The ancients had been weakened several times. In the final battle Defeated by the invading race, he had no choice but to retreat to the South Pole of Blue Star, and after living for a while, he was completely silent.

This is the end of the story of the relief sculpture.

Xia Ren and Lanaya's thoughts were still immersed in it, unable to calm down for a long time.

Some knowledge on the relief was beyond the scope of their comprehension, causing them to have different degrees of terrifying illusions in their minds, and it was difficult to get rid of them. Fortunately, Professor Foder reminded them that they came to their senses.

Looking at the surrounding scenes, Xia Ren suddenly felt a little strange. The land he had been living in had hidden so many terrifying secrets.

At the same time, another question appeared in his mind. According to the description on the relief, the ancients had a special living habit. They were used to stacking items in the center of the room and using the walls as decorations. However, the palace was empty. It means that the ancients planned to evacuate here, then...

Who did the relief on the top of the head?

All kinds of clues indicate that this palace was abandoned after the defeat of the ancients, so the only ones who recorded the demise of the ancients were the slave race Shoggoths.

That is to say, besides the other eight awakened ancients, there may be another kind of terrifying monster in the mountains.
