Chapter 1497: Near the root cause
Going north, the weather gets colder.
The whistling cold wind wrapped in the fine sand and dust from the plains, and the light and unknown fluffy plants were blown on the ground, and the bleak air enveloped the entire plain. The cold wind seemed to be silently telling. What a ridiculous stage the world is in. The vast vegetation is rarely seen on the endless wilderness. Because of the cold climatic zone here, and because of the low temperature environment that is currently global and not completely removed, only the low-lying bushes that are listless are visible on the wilderness. The unnamed weeds in the east of the cluster are not a place suitable for life.
Of course not suitable for hunting.
Hunting grounds and plants are of course still available, but there are a few lush coniferous forests in the area dozens of kilometers away from the wilderness. There are small grasslands around the coniferous forest, some of which form a community. Herbivores and a few predators haunt the place, they feed two small primitive tribes, and vice versa, the primitive tribes also feed the carnivorous beasts in the woods.
This is the age when the personal class and the beast are in the same class and are prey.
Hao Ren draped in a leather robes that had been ground and climbed a rock that stood out on the ground. His clothes were weather-beaten, but for the aborigines here and now, the costume was still an incomprehensible magic. He put his hand on the pergola and looked at the depths of the wilderness: this place where the gravel and the tundra plants look almost the same, but after coming here, you don't have to worry about getting lost because there is a very eye-catching one. The landmark "is standing in the distance. It is a white tipped cone reflecting the sun. It looks like a white tower from afar. In fact, it is a huge piece of ice, and it is called "Tatumumu" by the locals in awe. The translation of this vocabulary is the meaning of "the grave made of ice", and the meaning of the word is quite majestic.
Hao Ren looked back and saw that the two thin men wrapped in animal skins immediately shook in his gaze. Their skin is light brown, their face is painted with grass juice and animal blood, and their hands are clasped with sticks and spears with stone guns. They are warriors in the tribe, but they are in harmony with Hao Ren. It’s still awkward when I see it. It’s very simple: beyond the power of understanding, these two tribes with primitive religious concepts have created great fear. Hao Ren used a radiant long gun to single-handedly hunt the mammoth. The terrible scene is still lingering in the minds of these two tribal warriors.
This is a temporary guide. In this era of lack of all landmarks, no history can be found, even the terrain is not consistent with the later generations. Without a guide, it is a painful thing. Hao Ren was alone in the Gobi Desert for nearly a month, so as long as there are conditions, he will definitely find ways to abduct one or two guides from the local pit.
Fortunately, as it gets closer and closer to ancient times, the difficulty of abducting guides is getting lower and lower. Many times, it is only necessary to show the power beyond their understanding. These primitive people who are full of awe in nature and mysterious powers Will be respectful and loyal.
Of course, there is also a bad side. It is always a little troublesome to communicate with the original people. Although the translation plug-in can solve the language problem, the difference in world view is not negligible. In many cases, Hao Ren has to be from a lot of plausible vocabulary. Guess what they are saying is what they think.
At this time, he couldn't help but miss the little friends who have left the team, such as Lily, such as Heather Anna, such as Hasselblad and Hesperus, although the last two people are usually cold or frosty, or at least three, but at least three Views are on the approximate horizontal line.
However, they have all left, Hesperes left the queue in 4705 BC, Hasselblad has been accompanying Hao Ren to 6012 BC, after which Hao Ren has been traveling alone in this history. In the long river, the upper reaches of the river, exploring the increasingly wild ancient earth.
“Where is the place where the great **** sleeps?”
Hao Ren’s head, to the side of the irrelevant things, asked the huge iceberg in the distance.
The two tribal warriors waved their arms down. This is a positive meaning in their habits. Then the higher one said: "Yes, that is. The ice around will melt, but the ice never Melting, here used to be our hunting ground, but now everyone is afraid to come."
Hao Ren nodded, and he already knew something about it. He had inquired before the primitive tribe: this plain was not as ridiculous as it used to be, but the low temperature environment of the glacial retreat makes the vegetation appear sparse, but At least there are still some wild animals on the plains, even if there are not many, but at the end of the ice age, it is still possible to feed several small tribes. But then a "big god" passed the plain, she was angry because someone had hunted her prey, so the whole plain was frozen with big ice, which led to several tribes on the plain having to migrate to predator activities. In Yulin, there are only two left in the past.
The Great God lived on the plains, and the tribes living nearby believed this: although the large ice that covered the entire land had melted, but there was an ice tower like an iceberg in the middle of the plain, even if it was There is no reduction in direct sunlight and roasting by flames. Plant growth becomes extremely difficult around the ice, and wild animals are afraid to get close to them. These are the proof that the great **** lives here.
The superstitious tribe residents believe that this is the end of the punishment of the Great God. She wants the tribes who are expelled to use the brave force to prove who is eligible to return to their homeland. Therefore, the two tribes in the distant forest have been contending for years.
Hao Ren, the blind and ignorant myth of the primitive man, didn't care. He could only determine one thing: the "big god" in the mouth of the nearby tribes who could freeze the whole plain with big ice should refer to Vivian.
"I want to go there." Hao Ren said casually.
The two tribal warriors who followed the guide were shocked and then showed great horror. They kept squatting and retreating: "No, no, no one can get close to the place of the great god, we will be frozen. Become an ice cube and then melt it when the sun rises the next day..."
Hao Ren looked at the horror of these two primitive people. He could imagine how terrible legends Vivian had in the minds of these ignorant ancient humans. If they forced them to follow the graves of Vivian. These two primitive people who wear hides may be scared to death.
So he shook his head: "Go back, I go by myself."
Then he took two alloy short knives from the portable space and handed them to two temporary guides: "Before you said, this is a reward for you."
The two tribal warriors carefully took over the two weapons that had never appeared in their worldview, and quickly confirmed its sharpness and sturdiness, and suddenly showed a very pleasant appearance.
Without further thinking about the two primitive people, Hao Ren stepped down the rock platform and walked toward the tower of the ice cap in the distance.
The cold north wind blew again.
Walking and walking, he couldn't help but feel a sense of openness and loneliness. He looked at the untouched frozen Gobi. He even felt that there was only one person left in the whole world. How long has this historical retrospective journey been conducted? He is even unclear, constantly circling in those distorted and messy time and space, and time chaos has led to sensory chaos. He has stepped into the dark and brutal Middle Ages from the advanced city of human civilization, and then from the backward Middle Ages. In the glorious era of mythology, and then from the mythological era to the ancient antiquity, advanced and backward, civilization and barbarism, humans and aliens each constructed two distinct landscapes in different historical periods, all kinds of contradictory Things are spirally distributed on this historical trajectory, so that as a passer-by, Hao Ren is not even sure whether he is moving along a continuous timeline.
The more you enter the ancient times, the more obvious this feeling is.
Sometimes his last stop is still a ignorant primitive natural tribe. The next step is to step into the steel city transformed by the stranded starship. After coming out of the steel city, he will enter another godland, the kingdom of the gods. The next stop may be filled with magic and steam...
After the aliens arrived at Earth, they did not immediately build the great empire of the mythology. They also experienced the early stage of development. The original heterogeneous stronghold may be just a broken city wreck or a crumbling alien space fragment, and then they It took hundreds of years and even thousands of years to understand how these things from the hometown of the world should be used. After that, they began to turn their attention to the original intelligent inhabitants of this planet, that is, the Earth.
At this moment, Hao Ren is in a time when the aliens have just landed on the earth and are still in their respective circles.
The huge ice cube is very close. At this distance, Hao Ren noticed that it is really huge. The conical ice structure may be more than 100 meters high, and the cold atmosphere spreads out from the giant ice. A semi-permanent frozen area is formed in the area of a few hundred meters in the vicinity, and a trace of blood red is irregularly distributed in this white frozen area, like the capillaries under the skin.
Hao Ren’s line of sight crossed the ice tower and landed on a distant mountain. He could see a light column rising from the mountain and slowly sweeping half a day.
It is the observation tower built by the people of Odin. The Nordic gods who have just slowed down from the alien syndrome are about to start observing this mysterious and strange planet. They have hundreds of sick people who need food and The nourishment of medicines; in the southern part of the plains, a Rune dwarf tribe is writing texts on young people and celebrating the release of the first furnace of steel; in the more distant mountains, Zeus has just set foot on the land of this planet. Looking for rocks that can be used as building materials in the mountains to repair the houses on Mount Olympus that collapsed due to space turbulence; in the ancient Nile River, the sun-driving sun boat halfway into the jungle, Osiris And Isis looked at the crashed propulsion engine and was ready to develop a spaceship maintenance plan for a thousand years...
Humans, humans have not recovered from the cold of the Ice Age, and their tribes are not ready to meet the era of the gods, but the mythological era has come crashing.
Hao Ren came to the tower of the ice, through the thick ice layer, he could see the "princess" who was sleeping in the ice.
He put his hand on the ice and sighed softly: "Vivienne, I found you again."
It is now 7715 BC, the glaciers have subsided, and everything has been born. 8)
