Adventure Code

Chapter 522 Mysterious Team (1)

Silent all night.

On the second day, everyone was divided into two groups under Xiao Qi's arrangement. I, the old pervert, Xiao Qi, Jin Le, Nineteen and the old monster stayed in the camp. Da Xun searched around with the rest of the people, trying to find the Crash the plane and see if we can find out the identity clues of that group of people.

After all, according to the situation of the outdoor unit, it is very likely that it happened in the past month, or even in the last few days. This is an unacceptable accident for the old pervert. He is determined to investigate clear.

In the cross-shaped channel inside the altar, the content on it can’t be rushed, and we can only find useful information by sorting it out slowly, so the old pervert took us to the end this time.

Except for Nineteen who was in charge of guarding outside, the rest of us entered the altar and sorted out the information on it.

Based on the above content, I have a clearer understanding of the composition of the Immortal Kingdom.

The Immortal Nation was born from the Zerg race, and the Zerg race did not intermarry with other races. Probably because of this reason, the population of the Zerg race has not been very large.Zerg people were born in the land of Yunnan and Burma. The unique environment here has enabled them to master the ability to manipulate insects from generation to generation, and they also believe in the "Insect God".

The insect god believed by the Zerg has a human ant belly, the upper body is a human, and the lower body is an ant structure. It is a bit like the alien in foreign science fiction movies, and it is quite unreliable at first glance.

And this altar is the place where the Zerg hold daily sacrifices.

They have two biggest sacrifices a year. There are only patterns and no words on them, so the exact time cannot be seen, but judging from the situation depicted above, one of the sacrifices should be in the spring when the waking of insects, because it depicts many The scene of the worm snake coming out of the ground is probably the time before and after the Awakening of Insects, when the hibernating worm snake wakes up and reproduces.

Another sacrificial ceremony showed the scene of ten thousand insects hibernating. I speculated that the time of this sacrificial ceremony was probably when the insects and snakes entered hibernation.In addition, there are some small sacrifices that seem particularly strange. For example, one of the pictures depicts several pregnant women standing together. The people around them look respectful, and the expressions of the pregnant women are stretched, as if offering sacrifices to these pregnant women. .

Is it possible that the Zerg not only worships bugs, but also worships reproduction?The worship of women and pregnant women is often seen in the period when the early ancient population had difficulty in reproduction.

The history of the Zerg is not considered ancient. If there is still worship of women and pregnant women in their group, it would be very interesting.

But soon, I felt that this was not the case, because the more we sorted it out, the more strange and small-scale sacrificial scenes appeared. It seems that the Zerg is a group with frequent sacrificial activities.

However, the content of the sacrifices above is not like that in the archaeological documentary, where there are living sacrifices at every turn.The sacrificial ceremonies above all seem relatively normal, using wild animals that have been hunted.

Just as I was sorting out the records with a pen and paper, Jin Le, who was on the other side, suddenly walked up behind me, patted me, and motioned me to follow him. Then, he pointed to the depiction on the wall on his side, Said: "Look at this..." When he said this, his expression became a little strange.

I looked along where Jin Le pointed, and found that this was also a sacrificial situation, but the scene had changed. It was not in this altar, but in another environment, surrounded by many stone pillars. In the middle lay two people.

Among these two people, one is wearing a mask, and the other is a pregnant woman. Outside the stone pillar, there are many people kneeling densely.

According to the information I just obtained, in Zerg culture, only dead people wear masks.

Only one person in the picture is wearing a mask, while the pregnant woman next to this person is not wearing a mask.

This shows that the person wearing the mask is a dead person, and the pregnant woman is a living person.

A living person and a dead person are lying in a sacrificial place, what does this represent?
What's even more strange is the pregnant woman's belly, with a mask drawn on her protruding belly.

Seeing me staring at the pregnant woman's belly, Jin Le said, "The mask on the belly is exactly the same as the mask of this dead man, and here..." He motioned me to look back.

The patterns on the back are almost exactly the same, but I soon discovered that they are different. Although each one is a match between a dead person and a pregnant woman, the mask patterns on the faces of the dead people are different.On the belly of the pregnant woman next to her, the pattern of the mask displayed was exactly the same as the first pair.Not only that, but the bodies of the dead and the pregnant women were also different. Some were tall and some were short, some were fat and some were thin. The number of people kneeling around them became smaller the further back they went.

And in the last picture, there is no pregnant woman, only a dead person, but this time, the mask on the dead man's face has changed back to the first picture.

What does this mean?
The pregnant woman should be pregnant with a child, but there is a mask painted on it, and it is exactly the same as the mask of the dead.

It looked as if the pregnant woman was carrying the dead man.

The history of the Zerg race is relatively long. Judging from the techniques of these stone paintings, they are not very clever in the expression of patterns. The masks painted on the stomachs of pregnant women are likely to imply the children that pregnant women are pregnant with.

A pregnant woman...with a death mask?
I speculated; "Is it expressing that the pregnant woman is pregnant with the orphan of the dead?"

Jin Le said: "Pay attention, in the next few pictures, the dead person has changed, the pregnant woman has changed, but the shape of the mask on the pregnant woman's belly has not changed. Could it be that different pregnant women are all pregnant with the orphan of the first dead person? Do you think it is possible? ?"

Seeing Jin Le's expression, as if he had already understood something, and he seemed to have something to say, I didn't bother to make guesses, so I told him not to be secretive, and just tell him what he found.

Jin Le paused, and then said: "From here to there..." He pointed to the direction of the cross, and said: "The patterns behind are all the same, and there are fewer and fewer people around during the sacrifice. In one picture, when the number of dead people is reduced to the minimum, there is no pregnant woman around. At this time, the mask of that person changes back to the first picture... You say, this last dead man is the same as the first picture. Could the dead person in the pattern be the same person?"

I was taken aback, and following Jin Le's suggestion, I immediately thought of a possibility.
