To be honest, I was immediately attracted!
The Great Western Kingdom is the Atlantis civilization. It is not difficult to hear from Jian's words that the Atlantis civilization has been preserved in the form of murals!
If I can see that mural, it is estimated that this history that has never been recognized by humans in the fifth civilization era will see the light of day again. At least I can figure out what happened in Atlantis. If I am lucky, I can even know the purpose of Duolun and the immortal corpse's trip!
At that moment, my breathing became uncontrollably heavy. I stared at Jane and asked, "So, do you know what they did after they went to your ancestral land?"
"They did not stay in the ancestral land, but passed through the ancestral land to the end of the galaxy, the birthplace of the Holy Light Civilization, which was once the capital of Atlantis - Poseidonia!"
Jane lowered her head. There was sadness in her eyes when she talked about this. She whispered, "It's a pity that when our ancestral land was trampled, we could only watch and silently endure the humiliation..."
After hesitating for a while, I directly put forward my inner thoughts: "Can you take us to your ancestral land to have a look?"
Jane didn't say anything. It can be seen that she was very hesitant. It is estimated that their ancestral land is very important to them.
"No matter what, we need to go there!"
I emphasized my tone and was very nervous. I was afraid that I would anger Jane in this delicate environment and mess up the whole thing. But this was imperative. I had to make this request. After thinking about it, I finally changed to a more gentle way of explaining: "I have told you that the main purpose of our coming here this time is to chase the two people who came here at the beginning. Wherever they go, we will go there! I can guarantee here that I will never act recklessly in your ancestral land!"
Jane raised her head and looked at me seriously: "Can I trust you?"
"What do you think?"
I smiled bitterly: "If I have ulterior motives towards you, can I still stand under your swords and guns and negotiate with you calmly?"
Jane didn't speak, and I was waiting patiently.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and I became more and more nervous. If Jane refused, I really didn't know what to do!
So, I can only look forward to it.
The underground world is very cold, but I just waited until I was sweating all over!
Time passed by minute by minute, and after waiting for nearly ten minutes, Jane finally made a decision, looked up at me and said to me: "I hope you are not deceiving me, otherwise, I will definitely keep you here with all the strength of the whole family!"
I have to say that this beautiful and messed up "mermaid" suddenly said something fierce, and the momentum was still amazing at that moment, and then she said: "Okay, let your friends come out!"
I glanced at the mermaids surrounding me, shrugged, and didn't say anything, but I guess Jane should understand what I meant. Her intelligence is not lower than that of humans. Although I didn't say it, my performance was very clear-let your people retreat, otherwise who knows if you will directly attack my friends when they come out? We are so close, and there will be another wave of spear throwing. I guess none of us can escape, and we will all be nailed to the ground!
Sure enough, Jane understood and waved her hand calmly. Instantly, the mermaids surrounding her began to retreat. I finally felt relieved after retreating more than 400 meters, because this was a relatively "safe" distance. After all, I had fought with these mermaids and had some understanding of their strength. The arm strength of these things was amazing. A single-handed spear could shoot 300 steps away, which was amazing. Normal people could only shoot 300 to 400 steps with an iron-framed bow, not to mention throwing spears. A few dozen meters was the limit!
Now, these mermaids retreated 400 meters away, at least to ensure that Qingyi and the others would not be shot to death directly after they came out. I called Qingyi and the others out, and I went up to walk with Jane, while they were always hanging about 400 meters behind the mermaids!
Be vigilant, don't lose it!
Jane led the way. I asked about their situation in a roundabout way. Jane was wary at first, but later she saw that I didn't ask any life-threatening questions, so she started to talk to me. I learned a lot about the situation.
In fact, they... are indeed the descendants of Atlantis!
The fall of Atlantis civilization was about 9,000 years ago. However, except for the first generation who survived by chance, the remaining descendants are worse than the previous generation, and the memory of Atlantis is getting less and less. The cultural literacy left in the bones of Atlantis people is constantly disappearing. By Jane's generation, they have almost no civilization to speak of. They just live a primitive tribal life, which is very backward and can only be regarded as lingering on.
Because of the loss of civilization, Jane and her friends are now completely unable to decipher the murals left in their ancestral land. They only retain their own language and use word of mouth to record their experiences and changes in the past nine thousand years since the sinking of Atlantis. Therefore, Jane is not very clear about the once glorious prehistoric Fourth Epoch super civilization. She only knows that they are descendants of the great Atlantis. More than nine thousand years ago, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea for some reason, but when it sank, it seemed that something protected the capital of Atlantis, Poseidonia. So after Atlantis sank, Poseidonia was not swallowed by sea water and mud, and a small number of people in the city miraculously survived and were not killed in the sinking of the continent!
This small number of people who survived are Jane and her friends' ancestors!
But for some reason, this small group of people did not rebuild the city in Poseidonia, but left and dug out such an underground world in the mud on the seabed!
As for the ruins we saw in the underground world, they were other cities in Atlantis. Unfortunately, those cities were unlucky. Unlike the capital Poseidonia, they were not protected and were swallowed by sea water and mud. It is estimated that many ruins found by scientists who explored and searched for Atlantis on the seabed were also other cities in Atlantis!
As for the ancestral land mentioned by Jane, it was actually the underground world that her ancestors first excavated when they left Poseidonia. It was right next to the entrance of Poseidonia! When her ancestors just left Poseidonia, they probably recorded the civilization and history of Atlantis in the form of murals in that place for the purpose of warning future generations. Unfortunately, they did useless work after all, because their descendants had long forgotten the civilization and glory of the past, and could not understand the murals they left behind! !
According to Jane, their ancestors should be exactly the same as us, probably ancient humans. It seems that the legendary Atlanteans are aliens from the Orion constellation. This statement is unreliable. It's just that because they live underground all year round, the form of their descendants is constantly evolving due to the living environment, so they gradually become what they are now. Anyway, based on what Jane said about their life changes, I basically guessed their evolution process!
At the beginning, they were always digging underground ruins and looking for food from these ruins. Because they lived underground all year round, their eyes and height would change, similar to cavemen, they would become short and sensitive to light sources!
Then, they couldn't find food in the ruins, so they had no choice but to enter the ocean to hunt sea creatures. In order to survive better in the ocean, they grew gills, scales, and their legs became fish tails. This may be a very long process, but more than 9,000 years are enough for them to evolve into a new species!
I was very interested in the long evolution of their tribe, and I was so engrossed in the conversation that I almost forgot the time. We talked and walked forward, and before we knew it, Jane and I had walked a long way. Then Jane suddenly stopped and said to me, "We have reached my tribe. After passing my tribe, we will reach our ancestral land."
