Chapter 974 The Golden Earth Mother Goddess
The Strange Face Tribes were dancing and making noise all the way, but Gordon and the others no longer had the relaxed mentality they had before.
From what Pig Chop said, they were getting closer to the "underground spring".
Sure enough, the Strange Face Tribe regarded that energy as a guide.
The karst landform in the northern part of the Great Ant Mound Wasteland has caused a large number of underground cavities in this area, and collapses occur from time to time. According to Herta, the altar of the Strange Face Tribe is located deep in a collapsed rift somewhere.
As long as you go deep into the rift valley, you can get closer to the area where energy flows.
This is also consistent with the story of the "Underground Golden Country" told by the Golden Strange Face Tribe.
After arriving at the bottom of the rift valley, they entered another cave.
The passages in the cave were crisscrossed with dead ends, making it easy to get lost. Gordon and others had no choice but to follow closely behind the strange-faced tribe.
For these little guys, the underground caves are like their home warehouses, where they can always find the right direction.
In this way, after wandering left and right in the cave for a while, they finally came to an underground cave with stalactite pillars everywhere and no bottom visible.
“Why do you think the ground here is a little warm, meow?” Xianglan raised her foot and looked at the pads under her paws, shaking her ears, “You’re not going to be close to the magma, meow?”
“Although this cave is very deep, it is still far away from where the magma flows. The bottom layer here is not as thin as the volcanic zone.”
As Heta spoke, he also squatted down and pressed his palms on the ground to feel it. It was true that there was no moist and cool feeling like there should be in the cave.
She was not very sure: "Maybe it's also because of the energy of the earth's veins?"
Although, her own understanding of this term is not clear.
But I heard the director of the Institute of Ecology say that the reason why the ecological cycle of the New World is so prosperous to such an almost abnormal degree is inseparable from the cycle of "earth energy".
As for where this energy begins and ends, it is still not fully understood.
Looking at the altar located a little further away, Gordon shook his head, "Let's go there first and learn something about Mr. Monroe."
The Strange Face Tribe has gathered around the altar.
The so-called altar is actually a high platform made of countless shiny metal ores. At the top of the high platform, there is a shiny gold piece.
Led by the priest leader, the strange-faced tribe danced a strange dance.
Different from the cheerful and casual dance that celebrated the festival on the way here, the dance steps of the Qimian tribe are very neat at this time, stepping on the beat of the leather drum, mysterious and solemn.
Mr. Monroe stood aside and watched all this quietly.
Over the past two days, he has established a very deep friendship with the Qimian Tribe, but after all, he is not a real member of the Qimian Tribe, so naturally he will not join in such a religious ceremony.
"Mr. Monroe, is there really any 'god' coming?" Gordon asked in a low voice.
Monroe leaned on the bone staff and was silent for two seconds before saying: "If it were a few days ago, I would probably give a negative answer immediately.
Just like when we pray to the sky or the gods, no miracle will come to us immediately.
No matter how pious these strange-faced people are, the ‘gods of the earth’ should not be able to hear them.
But now, I'm a little unsure.
The energy of the earth's veins is continuing to increase. If this continues, something strange may really happen. "
Gordon frowned slightly. He didn't like the "roundabout" way of speaking of scholars.
“In other words, is there a real possibility that the ‘Golden Earth Mother Goddess’ will appear?”
"have."
The experienced orc scholar nodded, "I have talked a lot with Cancan in the past two days. Oh yes, Cancan is the name of the golden odd-faced creature.
Cancan said, "Gods" like ores.
If that person is attracted by the energy of the earth's veins, happens to pass by nearby, and notices the large amount of high-quality ore here, it is indeed possible to show up. "
“Understood, is there any more specific information?” Gordon asked.
“It also said that the breath of the ‘god’ can instantly melt metal ore into a liquid state. It should be some kind of ultra-high-temperature breath.
Wait a minute, what do you want to do? ! "
Monroe suddenly turned his head to look at Gordon, "Hey! I know you are very powerful, but don't mess around!
Not to mention the description that it may be a super giant ancient dragon, these 'believers' alone are enough for you to have a good drink! " Gordon gave Monroe a helpless look, "Don't really think of us as fools who have grown muscles into their brains. If there is an existence that has no ill intentions towards us, we would rather stay away. "
“That’s good, it’s best to be safe and sound.”
Munro nodded, "Listen to what Cancan means, when the moon reaches the zenith and the energy intensity of the earth's veins reaches its peak, the 'gods' will appear.
I am more interested in the dance of the Strange Face Clan. You can go and take a rest now. "
Ignoring the old scholar’s subtext of “leave quickly after asking, don’t disturb my research”, Gordon continued to ask: “One last question.
I have always been curious, is there really a saying about a full moon night or midnight, or is it just wishful thinking of romantic thinking? "
ˆ “.”
The experienced orc scholar seemed to be choked by this question. He took a deep breath and then said: "There is a saying on the night of the full moon that the energy of the earth's veins will become relatively active, refer to the tide.
As for midnight, this may really be nothing. Theoretically, the energy tide of earth veins and the mysterious ancient dragon are possible at any time.”
Just in the middle of Munroe's words, the earth suddenly trembled, and the stalactites at the top of the cave fell down.
The pig next to him yelled, "It's coming up, meow! That energy is coming up, meow!"
Gordon's hair stood on end.
He did not expect that changes in the energy of the earth's veins could cause geological activities. You must know that they are in an underground cave now, and above their heads is the rift valley created by the collapse of the earth.
At this time, there is a subsidence, and they cannot escape!
Grabbed the scholar, ignoring the cheering strange-faced tribe, Gordon yelled to his companions: "Get ready to retreat!"
However, at this moment, a suffocating heat wave came, and the huge rocks and stone pillars deep in the cave softened into liquid like ice and snow under the scorching flames, and flowed and disappeared.
A graceful giant shadow, accompanied by a bright golden light that makes it difficult to open one's eyes, slowly stepped out of the darkness.
Gordon slightly lowered the arm that was covering his eyes. The majestic life in his sight was suffocating.
It has large golden horns that seem to be made of pure gold, and an equally golden long skirt is draped on it.
Its pace is slow and elegant, like a lady at a banquet. No, a queen.
Even using the word "queen" to describe it is a bit presumptuous.
Perhaps only a title like "Golden Earth Mother Goddess" can be worthy of the life in front of you.
The ground shook rhythmically.
Facing the "god" who slowly walked in, the strange-faced tribe retreated in horror.
This is not surprising, just like someone who is making a wish on a shooting star and suddenly finds that the shooting star turns a corner and falls towards him, he will turn around and run away in panic.
Chancan, the Golden Strange Face Clan, is the only exception.
It whimpered, kneeling in front of the altar made of countless ores, and kept shouting something.
The golden eyes of the "god" swept across the mountain of ores, or sacrifices. After a brief silence, it lowered its head and snorted a heat that distorted the air.
The ore hill suddenly turned into a pool of bright golden molten liquid, flowing and spreading, and was about to cover Cancan.
The "god" gently swayed its long golden tail like a dress, and a large pool of gold liquid formed from melted ore stuck to it and turned into a part of the dazzling skirt.
After completing all this, the "god" turned around, and the stalactites and rock walls in front of him melted automatically to create a passage, and soon, its figure disappeared deep into the earth's veins.
It took the stunned Cancan more than half a minute to come back to his senses. He cheered and chased after him.
More than a dozen of the Strange Face Tribe let out bursts of screams and cheers, following Can Can's footsteps and stepping into the dark and boundless earth.
More strange-faced tribesmen were wandering around in fear, staying where they were.
The earth shook violently again.
Looking at the falling boulders and the spreading cracks on the ground, Gordon no longer hesitated, picked up Monroe and ran away.
“Run quickly! The cave is about to collapse!”
