The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters.

Chapter 137 Lost History

The event at the Wilderness Bar doesn't start until 9pm.

Yu Ke and the Hu brothers and sisters were temporarily separated and each purchased the equipment needed for the hunting operation.

Because he was not sure how long he would stay in the depths of Jinghu Forest, Yu Ke tried to make sure that he had enough space when buying things, and filled the imprint space to the fullest, especially the shooting equipment, which was greatly updated this time.

After shopping, he returned to the hotel. While there was still some time, Yu Ke prepared to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his coat, Ye Yingtong sent a message, saying that there were some clues from the previously sent information.

Sending and receiving messages was too troublesome, so Yu Ke simply sent a video invitation.

Ye Yingtong quickly agreed to the invitation, and her face appeared on the phone screen.

She should be sitting in front of the computer, with a bookcase filled with various ancient books and documents in the background.

"You look better than before."

If anything, she used to be a research scholar, and her appearance and temperament were as gentle as jade. But now, even though she is still wearing the same clothes as before, there is an inexplicable coldness between her eyebrows.

"Let's talk about the various utensils and facilities that appear in the ruins first. I think it is a workshop for manufacturing bronzes. Judging from the state and function of each facility, it is a special ruin from at least a thousand years ago. The problem lies in the houses in the workshop. The scale and the design and arrangement in front of the furnace are very strange and completely inconsistent with common sense.”

It goes without saying that large-scale animal disasters that devastate the world are not something that can be brushed aside.

"Generally speaking, the murals of ancient people should record what happened in this area. That is to say, if the animal disasters recorded in the murals actually existed, it means that it happened in Beijing and Hangzhou and its surrounding areas. However, I have read a lot of historical documents about this region in the past few days, and there have never been any records of animal disasters in history.”

"If it weren't for the photos you sent, I would even have some doubts about their authenticity. They are like pranks generated by AI technology, and they are of a relatively inferior type."

Moreover, with Ye Yingtong's identity, the information and documents she could consult must be far more detailed than what ordinary people could find, but she still found nothing.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ye Yingtong got straight to the point and asked.

It wasn't until the forest spirit used its power to show him the scene of the workshop when it was still in operation that he knew how the workshop used to work and how many extraordinary beings worked in it day and night just to cast the bronze tripod. .

"This is what I want you to help me verify. I want to know what era this workshop is from, when did the beast disaster described on the mural appear, and what exactly happened that year?"

Looking at the time at the top of the screen, Yu Ke nodded to indicate that he was listening.

"Sorry, there is no discovery in this regard yet."

Even if there are no detailed records due to the long history, we should still be able to find some information that corroborates each other, so that we won’t be left with nothing.

This was the first time the two met after they parted ways at the farm. Yu Ke noticed that Ye Yingtong not only did not look as sickly as before, but even his whole body's energy and spirit seemed to have changes visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention Ye Yingtong, Yu Ke was also full of confusion when he first saw the ruins in the temple's underground palace.

"You said, I have nothing to do now."

Yu Ke is not from this world. He doesn't even know much about the modern situation, let alone the history of this world. He can only hope that professionals like Ye Yingtong can answer him.

Natural and man-made disasters have always been highlighted in historical documents.

"I have been recuperating for a period of time recently, and my body has fully recovered. The photos of the ruins and murals you sent me earlier, I have checked a lot of information, and I have gained some results. Do you have time now?"

However, judging from Ye Yingtong's expression, the results of her research during this period were not ideal.

As Ye Yingtong spoke, she took out her mobile phone and showed several unreasonable sights of ruins to Yu Ke. She paused and said,

In fact, this is the main reason why Ye Yingtong contacted Yu Ke specifically.

"Is it possible it's other areas?"

Yu Ke was sure that what was on the mural really existed and asked again.

"I am looking through the historical documents of the surrounding area. Compared to the speculation you mentioned, I am more inclined to the concept that has just been proposed in the history circle recently, lost history!"

Ye Yingtong made a special call, of course not to tell Yu Ke face to face that she had found nothing.

The so-called lost history, as the name suggests, is history that actually exists but cannot be verified in depth. At that time, humans may not have even formed a unified system of writing, and even if they wanted to record it, they would not be able to record it. Murals were the most common method.

"You are a special advisor to the Disaster Prevention Bureau. You should know that with the advent of the Great Catastrophe Era in recent years, a large number of ruins have been discovered in the mountainous area, and a considerable number of the things preserved in the ruins come from the lost part of history. "

Noticing Yu Ke's rather confused expression, Ye Yingtong knew that what he said might have touched the former's blind spot in knowledge, so after a brief thought, he said,

“I think the murals you discovered are likely to come from an era that has not yet been explored or studied, and the remains found in the mountains are enough to prove that there were a lot of supernatural things in that era, and animal disasters were probably just part of that era. "

At this time, Yu Ke had realized that the things he saw in the temple and underground palace were likely to be older than he imagined.

Frankly speaking, Yu Ke has no interest in studying history.

The only thing he really wanted to find out was the cauldron!
"One thing I care about very much. The content of the mural shows that people in ancient times used a cauldron to suppress animal disasters. Is this an artistic expression or a real thing?"

"I can't be sure about this, but judging from some of the ruins we have discovered now, a large number of supernatural items appeared in the lost history. We do not rule out the possibility that this bronze tripod once existed. In fact, it is just like the red ghost. It’s like a mask. People at that time regarded it as a sacred object, but now we call it a strange containment object!”

"I understand. Thank you for your help during this period. If you find anything else later, please feel free to contact me."

Although he did not fully understand the situation of the mural, Yu Ke could feel that Ye Yingtong must have put a lot of thought into this matter during this period, and he should be grateful.

"This is what I should do. In addition to informing you of the existing information today, I am contacting you because I will join a scientific expedition team to go to the newly discovered ruins in the mountains, so I will not be able to follow you in the next week or two. You contact.”

The red ghost mask did not dampen Ye Yingtong's enthusiasm for exploring the ruins. Recently, the Disaster Prevention Bureau has formed scientific expedition teams one after another. The tutors in the college lead the teams, so she naturally wants to participate.

"The ruins this time are said to be extremely old. The scientific expedition team is full of experts in this field. When the time comes, I will help you ask around while keeping it confidential. Maybe I will find something."

"Well, remember to pay attention to your safety and don't get infected by those weird and resentful spirits." Yu Ke looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes left before the meeting time he had arranged with the Hu brothers and sisters, so he was about to hang up the video call. .

"Don't worry, I've done a lot of exercise recently, and now it's only those ghosts who are afraid of me."

Before turning off the video, Ye Yingtong clenched his fists at the camera, seeming confident about his next actions.

Looking through the photos saved on his phone, Yu Ke's eyes rested on a few photos of murals taken at close range.

In fact, before sending this information to Ye Yingtong, he asked Senling whether the workshop in the underground palace built the cauldron on the mural, but the latter's answer was vague, saying only that it was consumed. A large amount of divine power, but as for its specific use, it doesn't know.

Yu Ke's intuition told him that the forest spirit must be hiding something.

It was impossible for Yu Ke to ask shamelessly about what it didn't want to say. It was at that time that the doubts in his heart arose.

What was the item that made the forest spirits who controlled the entire Mirror Lake Forest deliberately avoid it?
He stood up and threw his phone on the bed, took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

It was definitely too late to take a bath, so I had to take a shower and change clothes.

The screen of my mobile phone, which was stuck in the quilt, was still on.

The picture on the screen was fixed on the bronze cauldron that was worshiped by all people.

Leave confusion and worries behind for a while.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Ke followed the Hu brothers and sisters to the Wilderness Bar.

As a well-known bar in Transit Station No. 3, both the decoration and service are undoubtedly top-notch.

The facade looks very wild, but the environment inside the store is much more "delicate" than Yu Ke imagined.

Perhaps in order to distinguish it from those vulgar and third-rate nightclubs, there are no bright lights and noisy rock music in the Wilderness Bar. Instead, there is live performance by a retro band. The holographic projection renders the ceiling into a wild starry sky, and the center of the dance floor also projects There was a bonfire in a stone pond, and from time to time, several wild beasts flew past the bonfire.

The area around the dance floor is a gathering place for hunters. Not only does it provide drinks, but also a variety of carefully prepared dishes using the meat of ferocious beasts as the main ingredients. The only drawback is that they are extremely expensive, and they are obviously specially prepared for professional hunters.

Yu Ke fell in love with the environment of the store when he first arrived. He sat on the edge of the dance floor and looked at the very real bonfire with no temperature and the bright Milky Way above his head with great interest.

As the leader of the A-level Silver Fox Hunting Group, Hu Yingjie is undoubtedly a distinguished guest at the Wilderness Bar. As soon as he sat down, an ocelot girl walked over in high heels and bent down to offer the menu with both hands, inadvertently revealing her exaggerated breasts. Gully.

"I'm treating you tonight, brother Yu doesn't have to save money for me, just do whatever you want!"

After taking the menu and handing it to Yu Ke, Hu Yingjie also made up his mind to befriend the former, even if he had to bleed heavily tonight.

"Just order a few special dishes to taste them. The meat of ferocious beasts is very expensive."

For Yu Ke, the enhancement of his physical fitness by the meat of ordinary ferocious beasts has been infinitely close to zero. To put it bluntly, it is just a taste. He really wants to feast. When he enters the depths of Jinghu Forest tomorrow, he will have plenty of time to hunt ferocious beasts. , the barbecue tube is full.

The three of them finished ordering their meals, and then talked about the current situation of Jinghu Forest.

"Since the end of the Pandora incident, the degree of environmental changes in the deep forests seems to have increased, especially in the water forest. Hey, it is interesting to say that the video taken by Yu Ke made many people want to go to Qishui Monkey I tried my luck in the hot spring forest area where the king is located, and I think there must be a lot of high-level ferocious beast skeletons accumulated around the hot spring where the monkey king is hiding, and they are all precious materials."

Hu Yingjie took the initiative to bring up the topic and talked about the recent rumors that have become popular among hunting groups.

"Less than three days after the video was released, a hunting group found the hot spring forest area. Not to mention, there were really many carcasses of ferocious beasts at the scene. They were full of joy and prepared to welcome this overwhelming wealth, but they never expected that The place has long been occupied by the new monkey king. Instead of returning home with a full load, several people turned in and even the team dispersed after returning. "

"They probably thought that I posted the video right after I finished filming. In fact, I edited it for a while."

Yu Ke leaned against the sofa and didn't have much sympathy for the hunting group's plight. He only found it a bit funny.

The hot spring forest area occupied by the Qishui Monkey King is the best territory among the water and forest areas, and there cannot be a "window period".

If a hunting group that doesn't have the strength and just wants to take advantage dares to come to them, they will definitely be killed by the new overlord.

"How did you handle the Qishui Monkey King's body? Judging from its state at the end of the video, it must have been infected and was about to turn into a deformed beast, right?"

Hu Yuzhi sat opposite Yu Ke and asked curiously.

"Of course I'll leave it to the Forestry Protection Bureau. I'm alone, so I don't have time to dispose of the body there."

Yu Ke responded casually, and his attention was quickly attracted by the sudden changes in light and shadow on the dance floor, as well as the exciting percussion music.

The broadcast of the Behemoth Arena Tournament will begin soon!
I saw the flickering light and shadow on the dance floor, and the influence of the starry sky and the bonfire in the field dissipated.

It was replaced by a building located in the center of the city that looked like a modern version of a gladiatorial arena. At this time, tens of thousands of spectators could be seen in the camera screen entering through various entrances.

Yu Ke's eyes were not on the arena, but on the architectural styles around it that were completely different from those in Beijing and Hangzhou. They looked inexplicably familiar.

"Does it look familiar to you? In fact, Monster City, the most famous scenic spot in Beijing and Hangzhou, is modeled after Nangang City."

Hu Yingjie saw Yu Ke's surprise and explained with a smile,
"Because Nangang City is a coastal city and an international metropolis, there are a large number of foreigners living there. The environment is different from inland cities like Beijing and Hangzhou, so the architectural style is quite avant-garde. The arena where the Behemoth Arena is held is in the city. Within the village, I heard that other urban areas also have their own unique features. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should go and see them. "

The population cluster effect caused by the catastrophic era has made this international metropolis more and more prosperous. As the leader among them, Nangang City is truly all-encompassing.

"Tch, it's not as good as you said. The area near the sea in Nangang City was attacked by sea monsters some time ago. It was said that a giant sea monster took advantage of the storm and rushed into the city, causing huge damage. The Disaster Prevention Bureau also issued an emergency notice. The danger level is similar to the previous cold wave.”

Hu Yuzhi curled her lips and said while looking at the introduction of the two giant beasts participating in the ring competition that appeared in the holographic projection.

This era is so special.

Regardless of whether it is an international metropolis or a key inland city, natural disasters always come uninvited and never pick a target!
