Chapter 1436 Otherworld (151)(1/2)
A small river winds through the valley, with gurgling rivers and rugged rocks on both sides of the river. There seem to be many fruit trees of various kinds by the river. The fruits on the trees are of various colors, including yellow fruits, red fruits, and black fruits. The black fruits are stacked on them, a bit like grapes hanging on the vines.
"It's dangerous." Pang Xiaonan couldn't help but sigh. This was the most beautiful scenery he had seen since he entered New Bloss. Not only because it gathers various beautiful scenery here, but also the environment here makes people feel very calm.
At this time, he looked across the valley, but unexpectedly found a huge palace on the mountain opposite.
The palace looked extremely sacred under the sunlight. Looking at the architectural style, Pang Xiaonan could not remember the specific era. The temple seemed to combine the ancient architectural style of China and the ancient civilization of the West. It was mysterious no matter how you looked at it.
"Wow, is this coming to the mythical world?" Pang Xiaonan vaguely felt that the big boss of New Bloss should be living in this temple.
Since entering New Bloss, this is the first time that Pang Xiaonan has seen artificial buildings. Even if they were not built by humans, this temple must have some special meaning. Otherwise, why should I spend a lot of effort to build such a thing? Wouldn't it be better to live in a primitive cave?
Just as Pang Xiaonan was traveling around the sky and guessing the purpose of the temple, Pang Xiaonan heard a familiar cry from above his head, which was the chirping of the big bird when he was fighting with the yak rhinoceros.
Pang Xiaonan looked into the sky and was still the familiar figure. The big bird wearing colorful feathers was flying over the valley and hovering above Pang Xiaonan's head.
Pang Xiaonan covered his eyes with his right hand and tried hard to see the big bird clearly, but the big bird swooped towards Pang Xiaonan.
"Not good." Pang Xiaonan instinctively flashed to the side, and a flying knife was already in the palm of his hand.
The big bird did not mean to attack, but instead put away its wings, sang, and stopped steadily beside Pang Xiaonan.
Pang Xiaonan looked at the big bird carefully and saw it standing on the ground, about 2 meters high. In other words, even if it squats on the ground, it is taller than an adult. Its feathers are gorgeous, with a golden silky crown on the head. Except for the thick green on the upper back, the rest are golden. The feathers on the whole body contrast with each other, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and dazzling.
Suddenly, the big bird spoke: "Human, you are very powerful, you can actually come here."
Pang Xiaonan looked carefully and found that like the dragon, the big bird did not speak.
"I'll ask, are you a Phoenix?" Pang Xiaonan asked cautiously.
"You can call me that, but I have many names, all of which are chosen by you humans, such as phoenixes, flamingos, divine birds, elixirs, auspicious birds, etc.." The phoenix stood on the hillside, looking at the palace opposite, but not looking at Pang Xiaonan in front of him.
"Wow, I really saw the Phoenix!" Pang Xiaonan shouted excitedly, "I saw the dragon before. I want to ask, what's the relationship between you two?"
Pang Xiaonan felt extremely honored, but also a little sad because Wu Yongqiang failed to see the phoenix with his own eyes. If Wu Yongqiang saw it, he would die with peace of mind. Pang Xiaonan thought so in his heart.
"We are the two of us, according to your words, we are just colleagues." Phoenix still stood still.
"College?" Pang Xiaonan suddenly understood that Longfeng was serving the big boss. "Then Brother Shenlong is in charge of climate change. What is your responsibility?"
"My duty is to inspect the surroundings and maintain order." Phoenix turned his head and looked at Pang Xiaonan.
"So, you are the sheriff here, the policeman." Pang Xiaonan was stared at by Phoenix's eyes, feeling heroic, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.
"You can say that, according to your human understanding, I also acted as commander, Minister of National Defense and other positions." Phoenix took another step towards Pang Xiaonan, but this time Pang Xiaonan did not hide.
Pang Xiaonan has now relaxed. Since Phoenix did not act to harm him for the first time, it must have been for his life.
"I understand, you are the military commander of this new Blos." Pang Xiaonan suddenly understood something, "Did you arrange the various attacks we encountered before?"
"No, I'm not that idle yet. You entered our defense line. I just issued a simple order to try to prevent you from going deeper. As for how the people below execute, I won't care." It seems that Phoenix is very high and he doesn't care about such trivial matters.
"You mean, your subordinates have many managers." Pang Xiaonan guessed that as the military leader, Phoenix must have various branches under him, such as the navy commander, the army commander, the air force commander, etc.
"It's not considered a management staff, all actions are spontaneous, but if you must understand it this way, indeed, I have personnel in charge of defense, but our management is relatively flat." It seems that Phoenix's expression ability and Pang Xiaonan's communication have no obstacles. It is a higher level of civilization form.
"Don't you feel guilty when you watch our people die?" Pang Xiaonan was still a little angry about Wu Yongqiang's death. At that time, the phoenix was clearly in the sky. As long as it gave its order, the yak rhinoceros would definitely stop attacking, but it just watched the yak rhinoceros army trampling on Wu Yongqiang's body.
"The world of your human beings is also the prey of the weak. The survival of the fittest is the same for us. People who are incapable can only die. The world is unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. This is the truth summarized by you human beings. For us, you human beings are straw dogs, and you are not willing to die." Phoenix's tone was plain and had no feelings at all.
Pang Xiaonan knew that this truth could not be obtained anywhere, because it was their Bloss operation that disturbed all kinds of creatures on New Bloss Island, and they also killed many of the indigenous people on New Blos Island, and it was understandable that they would pay the price of their lives.
So Pang Xiaonan no longer pestered people's questions, but asked Fenghuang: "I guess, your boss lives in the temple in front, right?"
"That's right, you've seen the temple, so the boss asked me to come over and take you there." Phoenix took another step towards Pang Xiaonan.
"Who is your boss?" Pang Xiaonan's question has been kept in his heart. At this moment, he was about to see the real owner, but he still couldn't help asking.
"You will know soon." Phoenix finally walked into Pang Xiaonan and stretched out its huge wings. "Come on, sit on my back and hug my neck."
Pang Xiaonan got on Fenghuang's back without any thoughts, just like a obedient child, hugging Fenghuang's neck tightly.
The phoenix flapped its wings and flew to a height of several meters. Then its wings were waving gently and flew towards the temple. In just a few seconds, it reached the top of the door of the temple.
The phoenix landed steadily at the entrance of the temple, and Pang Xiaonan's ears were still whistling, and the phoenix could only hear it: "Come down, walk in by yourself, the boss is waiting for you inside."
Pang Xiaonan jumped off Fenghuang's back, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Fenghuang, and asked, "Did you see my two teammates, one man and one woman. They were separated from us before, but I couldn't find their bodies."
Fenghuang did not turn her head to look at Pang Xiaonan, but just said, "You will know their whereabouts when you go in."
After saying that, the phoenix turned around, spread its wings and flew towards the sky, leaving Pang Xiaonan alone at the door of the temple.
Pang Xiaonan turned around and looked at it. The pillars of the palace were dozens of meters high and were astonishingly large in diameter. None of ten people would be able to carry them. There were mottled traces of time on the pillars, but they all looked dilapidated on the surface, and the stone inside had no traces of glory.
"I don't know how it is made of it." Pang Xiaonan stepped forward and touched the stone pillar, feeling a huge spiritual power filling his heart.
"Damn, this is definitely not the material of Hallelujah. Why does it feel so similar to my spirit stone flying knife?" Pang Xiaonan unexpectedly felt that the material of this stone pillar should be the same as the material of the spirit stone flying knife he made.
"Wow, how many spirit stones have to be used for such a large pillar!" Pang Xiaonan looked up at the top, and his neck was sore that he couldn't see clearly the top of the pillar.
Pang Xiaonan looked at the interior of the palace again, but because the hall was too deep, the sunlight outside could not shine inside at all, so Pang Xiaonan only saw a piece of darkness and could not see the specific situation inside.
The sun's light shone down from the top of the corridor outside, only reaching the outside of the hall gate, and it cannot enter the interior of the temple at all.
Logically speaking, the palace that does not see sunshine all year round should be gloomy, but Pang Xiaonan felt that there was no cold air in the temple. "This is strange. Is there any lighting facilities in this palace? Or is there an eternal light in the hall?"
With all kinds of curiosity and uneasiness, Pang Xiaonan approached the hall step by step. The moment he walked into the hall, he found that there was no gate in the temple, which means that the entire interior of the hall was open to the outside.
Just as Pang Xiaonan stepped into the darkness, a thick voice came from the inside of the hall. It could not be said to be deafening, but it really had a direct impact on people's hearts. Pang Xiaonan felt that his whole body and mind were trembling at that moment, "Pang Xiaonan, you are here."
But after crossing the darkness, it suddenly became clear inside.
Pang Xiaonan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge orangutan sitting on the dragon throne at the end of the palace. Yes, the orangutan was indeed sitting on the dragon throne I had seen on TV, and the orangutan was bigger than imagined, and they sat three stories high.
"Pang Xiaonan!" Professor Otan Lima's voice came into Pang Xiaonan's ears. Pang Xiaonan glanced at the sight and found that Otan Lima and Bridge Morgan were both sitting at the lower head of the gorilla. Otan Lima had already rushed over.
"Professor Otani Lima, you are here, I thought..." Otani Lima grabbed Pang Xiaonan's arm, her eyes full of surprise.
"Why, do you think we are dead?" Lima Xiaotian pulled Pang Xiaonan and walked into the palace.
Pang Xiaonan looked at the interior of this huge hall, but he felt very surprised. Although this scale looked like a palace, it was too simple. It was surrounded by stone walls and had not been decorated. It was like a rough house, but the lighting was good. There was a lot of light coming from the roof. Compared to the dazzling outside, the light here was soft.
Lima Xiaotian pulled Pang Xiaonan into the interior of the palace, sat down at the lower head of the gorilla, and sat opposite Bridge Molden, "Pang Xiaonan, where is Wu Yongqiang?" Bridge Molden looked intact and sat on a stone bench uneasy.
"He...he is dead..." Pang Xiaonan reported the news with some sadness, and then looked at Lima Oda, "Professor Lima Oda, how did you come here."
"We were chased by a group of hyenas and then flew over by two pterosaurs." Lima Oda briefly told the story, "After you went to the woods to find something to eat, a group of hyenas-like creatures appeared, bigger than ordinary hyenas. They were very fast. Bridgemorgan and I ran desperately. Just when they were about to catch up with us, two pterosaurs appeared in the sky, and then the hyenas ran away. The two pterosaurs actually spoke, saying that their boss wanted to see us. We thought that if we didn't follow them, the hyenas would come to bite us at any time, so we were taken here."
Pang Xiaonan looked at the intimidating gorilla and said, "Is this their boss?"
"Well, this is the boss of New Bloss, and all prehistoric monsters call it the boss." Lima Oda also secretly looked at the gorilla. At this moment, the gorilla's eyes were just staring in the direction of Pang Xiaonan.
"You mean, all prehistoric monsters can speak?" Pang Xiaonan was surprised. Are the monsters that attacked the scientific expedition team with a disagreement? They are all intelligent creatures?
"No, I mean, the prehistoric creatures we see here will talk when they come in and report." Oda Lima has been in this palace for a while, and saw that all the creatures who come to talk to gorillas can talk, and they are the kind that doesn't open their mouths.
"You don't have to guess. The communication between me and them is telepathy, not what you call speaking." The gorilla's thick voice echoed in the palace again, "Just like I communicate with you now, the reason you hear my voice is because your head resonates with my thoughts."
"Then do you understand what we say?" Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that you can transmit voices from thousands of miles away, but how do you understand our language?
The corners of the gorilla's mouth were raised, and it looked like it was laughing. It was lazily half lying on the dragon chaise, with one hand on the armrest, holding its huge head, and resting its feet on the chair casually, like a reclining Buddha, "Pang Xiaonan, I teach you all the language. Do you think I won't understand what you said?"
"You taught?" Pang Xiaonan now understood a little. This gorilla might be the ancestor of China, the legendary ancestor who taught people to speak, hunt and farm, "You are not Fuxi's ancestor, right?"
"Fuxi and Nuwa are two big snakes. I taught them wisdom," the gorilla half-squinted, as if closing their eyes to rest. "Since then they have become the ancestors of mankind."
"Then you must be Pangu." Pang Xiaonan pursued him relentlessly, and he was very interested in the identity of the gorilla.
"You are very smart, but Pangu is just my code name." The identity of the gorilla surprised the three people present.
"Boss, why do you want to catch us?" Bridge Morgan, the big human boss, asked the gorilla respectfully at this moment.
"Hey, I felt compassion when I saw you guys and girls," sighed. "I had entered my territory and I should have let you die for yourself, but I thought about it. You two can still reproduce in the human world. It may be useful to keep them for you, so I asked the guards to save you."
"Boss, this is wrong. You both of them, you lend a helping hand. Why do you want to watch them die if the rest of our teammates?" Pang Xiaonan expressed his incomprehension of the gorilla's logic.
"I am the boss, I have the final say. I will live whoever I want, and die whoever I want," the gorilla finally demonstrated its majesty. "However, I really don't have this leisure, life and death will go with the flow. When I saw it, I may change the fate of someone, but most people's lives are random. In your words, fate is determined by heaven."
"Boss, you are the god, or you are the legendary god, God?" Pang Xiaonan still had some doubts about the identity of the gorilla. Why would a god look like a gorilla?
The palace is very warm. Although it is a little simpler, it is still relatively clean. If it is a place where a gorilla lives, there is no need to be so warm. From this perspective, gorillas have a bit of an emperor's temperament.
"The gods and God are both imagined by you humans. I am the one who sets the rules," the gorilla reached out to the table in front of the dragon chair and took a fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish. "Even the gods in your mouth must do things according to the rules I set."
"Boss, can you tell me where this place is?" Pang Xiaonan's tone was full of respect. He knew that the gorilla in front of him could kill him at any time. This was a level beyond the level of immortality and could not be achieved by practicing.
"Let me tell you a story..." The gorilla moved its huge body to make its sleeping position more comfortable, and began to tell the origin of New Bloss.
A long time ago, based on the historical periods of human beings, that is, hundreds of millions of years ago, gorillas came to Hallelujah Star. Just as humans bought an island in the East Asia, Hallelujah Star is a territory assigned to gorillas in their world.
At that time, Hallelujah Star was deserted, so gorillas began to introduce various animals and plants, making Hallelujah Star full of vitality.
However, primitive animals and plants still do not have wisdom, so gorillas train some animals to do simple things. Gradually, some animals became enlightened and had some intelligence in their minds, such as Fuxi and Nuwa, a man with a snake body.
So gorillas taught these creatures that had developed wisdom and some complex tasks gradually began to form human society.
The gorilla saw the intelligent creature he created to destroy Hallelujah star, and he felt relieved and lived alone in New Bloss.
New Bloss has always existed on Hallelujah, equivalent to the villa of gorillas. Since the gorilla came to Hallelujah, it has been creating New Bloss into a paradise. There are various primitive creatures it introduced from its hometown, as well as the later mutated species it collected from Hallelujah continent. In short, various creatures that existed since Hallelujah were born are gathered here.
This is like a successful person who is tired of the officialdom and the shopping mall. He has to go back to his hometown to build a villa, and then spend the remaining spring, summer, autumn and winter in this villa. Unless a particularly serious disaster occurs on Hallelujah Star Continent, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the gorilla will take action to settle it. For the rest of the time, the gorilla will stay in New Bloss and enjoy a life of peace.
After listening to the story of the gorilla, several people finally understood that the gorilla was the real owner of Hallelujah and the founder of Hallelujah.
"Boss, I have something unknown. Why did you choose to live in this backward world instead of enjoying the progress brought by technological civilization?" Since Bridgemorgan learned of the identity of the gorilla, he had an idea. He wanted to please the gorilla. "As long as you want, you can go back to Hallelujah with me. I promise you can enjoy the achievements brought by human technological civilization and enjoy a more comfortable and convenient life."
