Heading north, the weather gets colder.The howling cold wind swept over the plains with fine sand and dust, and blew the light and unknown fluffy plants everywhere on the ground, and the gloomy air enveloped the whole plain, and the cold wind seemed to speak silently of what a savage stage the world was in.Tall vegetation is rarely seen in the endless wasteland, and because of the cold climate zone in which it is located, and because of the low temperature environment that has not yet completely faded all over the world, the wasteland can only see those listless low bushes and unnamed weeds in the east and west, and this is really not a suitable place for life.Certainly not suitable for hunting.Of course, there were still hunting grounds and plants, but a few dozen kilometers away from the wasteland, there was a rather lush coniferous forest, and around the taiga there was a small pasture, and some herds of herbivores and a few predators roamed the place, which fed two small primitive tribes—and vice versa, of course, the primitive tribes also fed the carnivorous beasts of the forest.This was a time when humans and wild animals were on the same class and prey on each other.Hao Ren climbed a rock jutting out of the ground in a polished leather robe, his outfit looked weather-beaten, but it was still an incomprehensible wonder to the natives of the here and now.He put his hand on the pergola and looked into the depths of the moor: this place full of rubble and tundra plants looks similar everywhere, but once you get here, you don't have to worry about getting lost, because there is a very striking "landmark" standing in the distance, it is a white cone that reflects the sun, looking like a white tower from afar, in fact it is a huge block of ice, which the locals call "Tatumnu" in awe - this awkward word translates to "tomb made of ice", And the meaning of the word is quite majestic.Hao Ren looked back, and the two thin men wrapped in animal skins immediately showed a wincing look in his gaze.With pale brown skin, faces smeared with grass juice and animal blood, clubs and spears with stone spears in their hands, they were the warriors of the tribe, but they were still terrified when they looked at Hao Ren, and it was simple: the power beyond comprehension had terrified the two indigenous tribes who only had primitive religious concepts, and the terrifying sight of Hao Ren single-handedly hunting mammoths with a glowing spear still lingered in the minds of the warriors of the two tribes.This is a temporary guide - in this era of lack of all landmarks, no historical records of the city, and even the terrain and landforms are not quite consistent with later generations, it is a painful thing to have no guide, and Hao Ren trekked alone on the Gobi Desert for nearly a month when he went back, so as long as he has the conditions, he will definitely try his best to trick one or two guides from the local pit.Luckily, as we get closer to ancient times, it becomes less and less difficult to trick the guides—and in many cases, it only takes a little power beyond their comprehension, and these primitive people, who are in awe of nature and mystical powers, will respectfully offer their loyalty.Of course, there is also a bad side - there is always some trouble communicating with primitive people, although the translation plug-in can solve the language problem, but the difference in worldview cannot be ignored, and many times Hao Ren has to guess from a lot of plausible crude words whether they mean what he thinks.At this time, he can't help but miss his friends who have left the team - such as Lily, such as Hethanna, such as Hasselblad and Hesperis, although in the end the two usually are either cold to each other or speak ill of each other, but at least the three views are on a similar level.However, they were all gone, Hesperius was out of the queue in 4705 BCE, and Hasselblad accompanied Haoren until 6012 BCE, after which Haoren continued to travel alone, swimming up the river of history and exploring the increasingly wild ancient earth."
That's where the gods sleep?"
Hao Ren shook his head, threw aside all the irrelevant things, raised his hand and asked the huge iceberg in the distance.The two tribal warriors waved their arms downwards once — in their custom — and then the taller one said, "Yes, that is."
The surrounding ice will melt, but that ice never melts, and this used to be our hunting ground, but now no one dares to come here. ”Hao Ren nodded, he already knew something about this, he had inquired clearly when he was in the primitive tribe before: this plain was not as barren as it is now a long time ago, although the low temperature environment during the ice receding period made the vegetation scarce, but at least there were still some wild animals on the plain, even if there were not many, but in the difficult times of the end of the ice age, it could still feed a few small tribes.But then a "great god" passed by the plains, and she became angry that someone had hunted her prey, so she froze the entire plain with large blocks of ice, which caused several tribes on the plains to have to migrate to the predator-infested forests, and to this day, only two tribes remained.The great god lives on the plains, and the tribes that live nearby are convinced of this: although the great ice that covered the entire land has melted, there is an ice tower like an iceberg left in the middle of the plain, and this huge ice will not shrink even if it is exposed to direct sunlight and flames, and around the ice blocks, the vegetation has become extremely difficult, and the wild animals are afraid to approach in horror, which is proof that the great god lives here.The superstitious tribesmen believed that this was the end of the god's punishment, and that she wanted the expelled tribes to prove who was qualified to return to their homeland with bravery, so the two tribes in the distant forest have been at odds for years.Hao Ren didn't care about the blind and ignorant myths of primitive people, he could only be sure of one thing: the "great god" who could freeze the entire plain with large ice blocks in the mouth of the nearby tribesmen should be Vivian."
I'm going there."
Hao Ren said casually.The two tribal warriors who followed as guides were startled, and then showed great horror at the same time, they trembled all over, and retreated again and again: "No, no, no, no one can get close to the place of the great god, we will be frozen into ice, and then melt when the sun rises the next day......"
Hao Ren looked at the panicked appearance of the two primitives, and he could imagine what a terrible legend Vivian's sleeping place had in the minds of these ignorant ancient humans - if they were forced to follow him to dig Vivian's grave, these two primitive people wearing animal skins are afraid that they will be scared to death.So he shook his head: "Go back, I'll go by myself." ”Then he took out two alloy short knives from his personal space and handed them to the two temporary guides: "I said before, this is your reward. ”The two tribal warriors carefully took the two weapons, which had never appeared before in their worldview, and soon confirmed their sharpness and sturdiness, and both immediately looked surprised.Without thinking about the two primitives, Hao Ren stepped down the rock platform and walked towards the Tower of Icecrown in the distance.The cold north wind blew again.As he walked, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness, looking at this uninhabited frozen Gobi, he even felt that he was the only one left in the whole world.How long has this journey taken to retrace history?
He is even a little unclear, constantly shuttling through those distorted and messy time and space, and the confusion of time has also led to sensory confusion, he has entered the dark and barbaric Middle Ages from the advanced cities of human civilization, and then from the backward Middle Ages into the glorious mythological age, and then from the mythological age into the barbaric antiquity, advanced and backward, civilization and barbarism, human beings and aliens each built two completely different landscapes in different historical periods, All kinds of contradictory things are distributed in a spiral along this historical trajectory, so much so that as a passerby, Hao Ren is not even sure whether he is moving along a continuous timeline.The more you go into antiquity, the more obvious this feeling becomes.Sometimes, his last foothold was still an ignorant and primitive natural tribe, but the next step was to step into a steel city converted from a stranded starship, and after coming out of the steel city, he plunged headlong into a theocracy country, and the next stop of this theocracy might be filled with magic and steam......
The aliens did not immediately build the great empire of the Mythical Age after arriving on Earth, they also went through the early stage of exploration, the initial alien stronghold may have been just a broken city wreckage or a crumbling fragment of the alien space, and then it took them hundreds or even thousands of years to figure out how to use these things from their home world, and only then began to turn their attention to the primitive intelligent inhabitants of this planet, that is, the earthlings.At this moment, Hao Ren is at the point in time when the alien has just landed on Earth and is still in their own circle.The huge ice block was already very close, at this distance, Hao Ren noticed that it was indeed very large, the height of the conical ice structure could be more than 100 meters, and the cold breath spread outward from the huge ice, forming a layer of semi-permanent frozen area in a radius of hundreds of meters nearby, and a trace of strange blood red was distributed irregularly in this white frozen area, like the capillaries under the skin.Hao Ren's gaze crossed the ice tower and landed on a mountain peak in the distance, and he could see a pillar of light rising from that peak, slowly sweeping half of the sky.It was the observation tower that Odin had led his people to build, and the Norse gods, who had just recovered from the alien syndrome, were about to begin to observe this mysterious and strange planet, where hundreds of sick and weak people needed food and medicine; In the southern part of the plains, a tribe of runic dwarves is carving words into the young people and celebrating the first furnace of steel; Further afield, Zeus had just set foot on the planet's land, searching for rocks in the mountains that could be used as building materials to repair the houses on Mount Olympus that had collapsed due to spatial concussions; In the valley of the Ancient Nile, as the god's solar ship plunges half into the jungle, Osiris and Isis watch as they overwhelm the crashed propulsion engine and prepare to develop a thousand-year-long plan to repair the ship......
And the humans, humanity has not yet recovered from the cold of the Ice Age, and their tribe is not ready for the age of the gods, but the age of mythology has come with a bang.Hao Ren came to the Tower of Ice, and through the thick ice, he seemed to see the "princess" sleeping in the ice.He put his hand on the ice and sighed softly, "Vivien, I found you again." ”It's 7715 B.C., the glacier has receded, and everything has come to life.
