I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 83 Place of Sacrifice
Xia Yuan looked at the scene inside the underground palace and frowned slightly.

This place was quite different from what he had imagined.

It’s not that there was nothing discovered, but the underground palace in front of me was really a bit shabby.

Not to mention gold, silver and jewelry, not even valuable burial objects or bamboo slips or books were found.

He walked around and all he could see were the murals on the walls and stones everywhere.

There are stone sticks, stone axes, stone flakes, stone knives, and many small stone balls.

These stones come in various shapes.

In short, all you can see in this place is stone, and not even iron or copper can be seen.

"Isn't this place a Stone Age site?"

He couldn't help but think so, because the things in front of him were really too primitive.

Even if you don't know much about history, you can tell from the scene before you that it is unlikely to be from the period after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

He still knew that Xuanyuan created characters.

But apart from the murals, there are no written records here.

Since he could not find any other useful information from the mural, Xia Yuan could only begin to observe the contents on the mural.

These murals are relatively well preserved, but the painting style is a bit difficult to understand.

So he could only see a small part of what was depicted.

There were many people kneeling in a place similar to an altar, but above the altar was not a person, but a huge snake.

The area occupied by the snake was even larger than the densely packed people below.

There was a leader in front of the crowd, holding a torch in his hand, and there were various prey beside him, but their types could not be identified.

In addition, many others were also tied up and placed under the altar.

This style of painting is obviously an ancient sacrificial scene.

He had also heard that people in ancient times often performed such sacrificial activities.

Snakes are totems for almost all civilizations, so people at that time would offer sacrifices to snakes.

After reading it, Xia Yuan looked disappointed.

The scene depicted above has nothing to do with the supernatural at all. People with supernatural powers would never do such a thing.

Judging from the information presented on the panel before, the human race in the mythological era must have been extremely powerful.

To possess such power, there must be an extremely splendid civilization; it is impossible for it to still be in this state.

But everything here shows that the lifestyle of people in that era was extremely primitive.

These stone tools in front of us are most likely the tools people used for survival at that time.

Just ask yourself, who would use these things if they have such powerful strength?

Their own strength is stronger than many modern weapons, so it is almost impossible for them to use stone tools.

"Could it be that this is just an ordinary relic?"

Xia Yuan did not give up, as there were still other areas inside the underground palace.

Maybe it's different in other places.

He walked deeper into the passage, while his mental power was constantly exploring the surrounding environment, trying to make other discoveries in invisible places.

At the same time, we should also explore whether we can find a way out.

He walked through the passage and saw many similar places.

These areas have no portals, just like cave entrances.

He found that this place was most likely where people lived at that time. This place was like a gathering point, forming a tribe.

I just don't know why people lived underground at that time.

Or maybe this place was on the ground a long time ago, but something happened and it was buried underground.

This is actually very likely, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why this place collapses so easily.

As he walked, Xia Yuan realized that the path he was walking on was not a straight line, but a circular route around the left wall. All the holes were on the right side, and there was nothing on the left side.

In this way, he walked past more than half a dozen cave entrances, and he carefully surveyed each one.

Until near the seventh hole, entrances appeared simultaneously on the left and right sides.

As usual, he first checked the cave entrance on the left. It was still furnished in the same way. The only difference was that there were two bronze dishes.

When he first discovered this, Xia Yuan even thought there would be something different here.

But after looking at all the places, I still didn't gain anything.

After exiting the cave on the right, he went straight to the left.

After walking so far, this is the first entrance I found on the left. Maybe it will be a little different here.

Sure enough, I noticed the difference as soon as I walked in.

The entire square is circular, with flat ground around it and a high platform in the central area.

Seeing this layout, Xia Yuan was stunned.

The scene here is exactly the same as the one seen in the mural before, except that there is no snake depicted in the mural.

"This must be the place where humans held sacrifices during that period."

Xia Yuan felt that if he wanted to make any discovery, it must be here.

Walking all the way to the central altar, I saw that it was covered with skulls, but most of them had been weathered.

Just step on it lightly and it will turn into powder.

Apart from that, nothing else was discovered. The furnishings around were even simpler than those in the caves they had just passed through, and the large area behind the altar had collapsed into ruins.

It's hard to hide anything in a place where you can forget everything at a glance.

"No way? It's really just an ordinary altar?"

For a moment, Xia Yuan was greatly disappointed.

All signs indicate that there is no record of any supernatural power here, and not even a trace of danger has been encountered.

The only thing that might be a little special is the giant snake in the mural, but it has nothing to do with the extraordinary.

What left him speechless the most was that there wasn't even a single written record of this place.

Oh no.

There were some scrawled symbols around the altar that looked like hieroglyphics, but he couldn't understand them at all.

But even if you don't understand, you can tell with your butt that it has nothing to do with supernatural powers. This is really just a simple gathering place for primitive tribes.

The snake in the mural was most likely imagined by people, or they had seen a larger snake before, so they painted it as a totem for sacrifice.

It has nothing to do with gods.

After leaving the altar, Xia Yuan continued to move forward.

Sure enough, there was no useful discovery along the way.

Perhaps this place has some archaeological value, but it is completely useless to him.

Soon he walked along the passage and came to the first cave he came in from, which confirmed his previous guess.

This place is a circle with cave entrances all around it, and the middle area is where the ancients held sacrifices.

This time, he had completely walked through the entire underground palace area. The place was not big, and it only took him an hour to explore it.

But what upset him was that not only did he not find anything useful, he didn't even see the exit.

Maybe it's not that it doesn't exist, but that it has been blocked.

He saw signs of collapse in many places, and Xia Yuan also used his spiritual power to detect it, and there were indeed traces of passages.

But now it’s all meaningless, and those places can no longer be visited. If I want to get out now, I can only dig a passage with my bare hands.

"Damn, it's really a shame to lie down like this."
