The sudden noise at the door made Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi in the temple stop searching the temple, and looked back slowly with tense nerves.

The gate of the temple has been closed, which obscures the capture of outside sounds, but also forms a strong fortress, allowing the two inside to feel a little more at ease.

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

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

The sound gradually dispersed, surrounding the temple, and transformed into a more calm sound of standing still.

Qin Zhibo frowned, feeling more and more bad in his heart.

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

Koizumi Hongzi tugged at Qin Zhibo's arm, and gave him a questioning look, what should I do now?
Qin Zhibo replied with a booing gesture, now they can silently pray for each other to leave this place and prepare for battle, but they can't take the risk of opening the locked gate and exposing themselves to unknown circumstances.

For this reason, Qin Zhibo had already untied the holster around his waist, held the Colt revolver in his hand, and gave the intruder a Magnum bullet at any time.

At this moment, there was a loud knocking sound outside the gate.

Bang, boom, boom.

The thunderous sound shattered the two's desire to calm down. This is definitely some kind of creature knocking on the door in an organized and rhythmic manner. They are knocking on the door with a purpose.

Along with the loud noise from the gate, Qin Zhibo, who was closer to the gate, heard some words first.

These words are not meaningless notes, but sharp words.

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

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

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi stepped forward and told Qin Zhibo in a low voice.

"I understand, he's speaking Spanish."

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

Qin Zhibo: "?"

Why are these words so similar to the nursery rhyme "Be good, little rabbit, open the door"?
Then if I open the door, isn't it even inferior to the IQ of animals?

The door must not be opened, but Qin Zhibo has at least confirmed that the person standing outside is some kind of intelligent creature, and it may even be infinitely close to a "human being".

But people are divided into good and bad, and we still need to be more vigilant here.

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

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

The translucent almost blurred 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 Hongzi: "Ah!"

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

Pia!

But the bullet flew to the blurred body without stopping, but directly passed through the body and hit the stone wall behind him, splashing some shattered stones.

Qin Zhibo stared wide-eyed at the incredible scene in front of him.

And that figure also seemed to be aware that some kind of dangerous weapon hit him just now, looked back at the broken stones behind him, and then turned his head to express his intention to the two of them.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. It was Gaia Yoss who told us that there are outsiders on the plain, so they came here to check."

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

The person in front of him wearing this exquisite robe and wearing a long sword around his waist has a face similar to that of an Indian. He looks neither kind nor as vicious as imagined.

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

Qin Zhibo: "!"

Qin Zhibo was shocked 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 vigilantly, and spoke to Koizumi Hongzi.

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

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

Soon, she got the answer.

"He said they were from Kunyang, residents here."

"He invited us out, to visit their city, what shall we do?"

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

But he didn't expect this civilization to be so similar to human beings, with a human body shape and an Indian face.

Perhaps, as Running Bull said, they are the ghosts of the ancestors of the Indians, from an era even older than the Maya.

However, judging from the telepathic communication ability and virtualization ability mastered by this person, they are still much more advanced than modern humans.

Under such circumstances, Qin Zhibo felt that it was not appropriate to provoke the other party. This is his territory, he should be obedient and see the situation.

Maybe the other party really didn't have any malicious intentions, and by the way, he could get information about Enkai.

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

What Qin Zhibo taught Koizumi Hongzi was not convincing, because the word "careless" couldn't explain the various equipment that the two were equipped with.

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

Next, he will exit here, and then wait for the two to open the temple door on their own initiative.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi breathed a sigh of relief when the virtual body slowly retreated to the other side of the wall.

But the danger was not far off, and both knew that the man was outside with his cacophony of troops.

"Hongzi, go and find out if there is another exit here."

Qin Zhibo immediately ordered Koizumi Hongko to find a way out, and he himself summoned Minase Harumi to pass through the wall to see the situation outside.

After a while, Minase Harumen floated back.

"There are more than 20 people outside, and all of them are riding monsters!"

"monster?"

Qin Zhibo's brain reacted, and he remembered the flat-faced monster with a saddle on the plain.

These ugly beasts are their mounts.

The "whistleblower" that the man mentioned just now told them about their existence should be this kind of creature called "Gai-Yos".

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 ran to inform!

mean!

Qin Zhibo felt misguided because he failed to realize that this creature had a certain degree of intelligence.

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

Qin Zhibo had expected it a long time ago, because there is no investigation point here, which means there is no secret door here.

The barred gate in front of him was the only entrance.

After thinking for a while, Qin Zhibo decided to take the initiative to open the door to avoid provoking the other party.

There is a joystick inside the temple, push it up, and the complex hinge system slowly raises the heavy stone door.

As expected outside, as Harumen Minase said, there were almost twenty people standing around, all riding livestock, surrounding the place.

Being in the encirclement, Qin Zhibo felt a sense of oppression.

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

They are not ghosts, but living people.

One of the people standing next to the livestock spoke first, and he was the one who entered the temple to communicate with Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi just now.

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

He said a lot of words in Spanish "Ji Li Gua La", and Koizumi Hongzi translated his words to Qin Zhibo.

"He said his name was 'Khasaji' and he was the captain of the sentinel."

"He invited us again to visit their city 'Sato'."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo is not a fool.

They are sentinels, not tour guides of sightseeing groups, so they are naturally not invited to be guests, but to become their captives.

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

Even if they could break through, the other side didn't know of any means to notify the other guards nearby, which would cause even more trouble.

"Tell them, respect is worse than obedience, and we are willing to go."

Koizumi Hongzi expressed in Spanish that they were willing to obey, and the leader, Captain Hasaji, nodded in satisfaction.

Hasaji turned his head and silently ordered his subordinates to separate out two livestock for Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi to ride.

Letting the two ride on the livestock, on the one hand, can quickly bring the person back to Sato; on the other hand, they can control the movement of the livestock, preventing the two from going off in the middle and wanting to escape.

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

He picked one of the animals with horns, and one turned over and stepped on the monster's broad back.

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

He has even ridden a Mi-Go, so brave! ?

But for Koizumi Hongzi, this extremely ugly mount was beyond her acceptable range, she shook her head and refused to get on it.

There was no other way, Qin Zhibo could only let her ride on the same animal as himself, and the other animal carried the backpacks of two people.

In this way, a group of teams continued to move in an unknown direction.

……

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

Regarding this, Hasaji had nothing to hide, and told Qin Zhibo a lot of things generously.

First of all, strictly speaking, these Kunyang people do not have language, or they got rid of the shackles of language to communication thousands of years ago, and can communicate with each other using telepathy.

This method is not only suitable for Kunyang people, but also for "outsiders" like Qin Zhibo.

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

The words that Hasaji said when he knocked on the door just now were due to the fact that spiritual communication cannot be used 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 communication method, Qin Zhibo can communicate with Hasaji no longer relying on Koizumi Hongzi as an interpreter.

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 the earth.

Of course, this is just a long-standing legend, and today's Kunyang people don't know where their hometown is.

They were able to come to the earth, and it was the legendary "Tulu" who 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 the so-called "Tulu" in Kunyang was actually "Cthulhu".

But then a catastrophe struck.

The Kunyang people believe that it was a terrible disaster caused by the "tyrannical devil" in the universe, causing Cthulhu to sink into the ocean with a large area of ​​the ancient continent, and Cthulhu was sealed in a cold underwater tomb .

After the disaster, only a small number of Kunyang people survived, and they have since turned to live underground 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 those "devils".

Until the last few hundred years, Kunyang people realized that the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have become "friendly" to outsiders.

……

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

This made Qin Zhibo have some good feelings, it seems that this is an open and aboveboard race.

Although they believe in "Tulu", that is, Cthulhu, they are not as crazy as the Innsmouth people.

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

Tulu, Yig, Satogua, Shabu Nicholas, and the nameless one...

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, the beliefs of this Kunyang people were really complicated, even the indescribable, that is, King Hastur in yellow, they all believed in it.

But what he cares more about right now is the "Satogua" that Hasaji said.

In Koizumi Hongzi's magic book, the "God of Toad" Satogua lived in the abyss under Enkai.

According to legend, this god taught the powerful magic beyond time and space to the great magician Eibon, so he is sought after by many magicians.

And the end of this trip is exactly Enkai who owns Satogua.

So at this moment, Qin Zhibo wants to learn more about Satogua.

"May I ask how to get to the place where Satogua is located?"

Qin Zhibo looked directly at Hasaji and conveyed his thoughts to the past.

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

He yelled loudly before communicating with Qin Zhibo through heart-to-heart communication.

"No, you can't go."

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