Chapter 137 Lost History
The activities at the Wilderness Bar didn't start until nine o'clock in the evening.
Yu Ke and the Hu brothers and sisters temporarily separated and purchased the equipment needed for the hunting operation.
Because he was not sure how long he would stay in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest, Yu Ke tried to make sure that he had enough when buying things, and filled up the imprint space, especially the filming equipment, which was a big update this time.
After shopping and returning to the hotel, Yu Ke prepared to take a bath to relieve his fatigue while there was still some time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his coat, Ye Yingtong sent a message saying that there were some clues in the information he had sent before.
It was too troublesome to send and receive messages, so Yu Ke simply popped up 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 full of various ancient books and documents in the background.
"You look much better than before."
This was the first time the two met after they parted on the farm. Yu Ke noticed that Ye Yingtong not only did not look sickly before, but even her whole spirit seemed to have visible changes.
If you must say, she used to be a scholar doing research, and her appearance and temperament can be described as gentle as jade, but now even if she is still wearing the same clothes as before, there is an inexplicable coldness between her eyebrows.
"I have been recuperating for a while recently, and my body has completely recovered. I have consulted a lot of information about the ruins and murals you sent me before, and I have gained some information. Do you have time now?"
After a brief greeting, Ye Yingtong went straight to the point and asked.
"You said, I don't have anything to do now."
Looking at the time above the screen, Yu Ke nodded to indicate that he was listening.
"Let's talk about the various tools and facilities in the ruins first. I think it was a workshop for making bronze ware. Judging from the status and functions of the facilities, it is at least a special relic from a thousand years ago. The problem is that the scale of the houses in the workshop and the design and layout in front of the furnace are very strange and completely unreasonable." Ye Yingtong took out her mobile phone while speaking and showed Yu Ke several unreasonable scenes of the ruins. After a pause, she said, "If it weren't for the photos you sent, I would even doubt their authenticity. It's like a prank generated by AI technology, and it's also a relatively inferior one." The ruins in the temple underground palace were not only Ye Yingtong, but Yu Ke was also full of confusion when he first saw them. It was not until Sen Ling used his ability to show him the scene when the workshop was still in operation that he knew how the workshop used to work and how many extraordinary creatures worked day and night in it just to cast the bronze tripod. "This is what I want you to verify for me. I want to know what era this workshop is from, when did the beast disaster described in the murals appear, and what exactly happened back then?"
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.
However, judging from Ye Yingtong's expression, the results of her exploration during this period are not ideal.
"I'm sorry, there are no discoveries in this regard for the time being."
In fact, this is the main reason why Ye Yingtong contacted Yu Ke.
"Generally speaking, the murals of ancient people should record what happened in this area. In other words, if the beast disaster recorded in the murals really exists, it means that it occurred in Jinghang City and its surrounding areas. However, I have read a lot of historical documents in this area in the past few days, and there has never been a record of beast disasters in history."
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have always been the focus of historical documents.
It goes without saying that large-scale beast disasters that have caused great suffering to the people of the world are not something that can be ignored.
Even if there are no detailed records due to the long time, some information that can be verified should be found, so that there is nothing.
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.
"Is it possible that it is from other regions?"
Yu Ke confirmed that the things on the murals did exist, and asked again.
"I am reading the historical documents of the surrounding areas. Compared with the speculation you mentioned, I am more inclined to the concept that has just been proposed in the historical community recently, the lost history!"
Ye Yingtong called specifically, of course, not to tell Yu Ke in person that she had found nothing.
The so-called lost history, as the name suggests, is a history that actually exists but cannot be deeply verified. At that time, humans may not even have formed a unified system of writing, so even if they want to record it, they have no way to start. Murals are the most common means.
"You are a special consultant to the Disaster Prevention Bureau. You should know that with the advent of the Great Disaster Era in recent years, a large number of relics have been discovered in the mountains, and a considerable number of things preserved in the relics come from the lost part of history."
Noticing Yu Ke's rather dazed expression, Ye Yingtong knew that what he said might have touched the former's knowledge blind spot, so after a brief thought, he said,
"I think the murals you found are likely to come from an era that has not yet been explored or studied, and the relics found in the mountains are enough to prove that there were a lot of supernatural things in that era, and the beast disaster is likely to be just a part of that era."
At this time, Yu Ke has realized that what he saw in the underground palace of the temple is likely to be older than he imagined.
To be honest, Yu Ke has no interest in studying history.
The only thing he really wants to figure out is that tripod!
"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 safety and don't get infected by those weird and resentful spirits again."
Yu Ke looked at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes left until the time he had agreed to meet 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 the mobile phone buried 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 inside the store as soon as he 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 came quickly on 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 at that time? 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 noticed 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 a 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!
