Chapter 600

"The ancient civilization here combined plants and insects to form a unique worship."

"Have there been similar discoveries before?" The photographer asked at the right time.

"No, this is an unprecedented discovery; be proud to let lost history reappear in the sun, young man."

The professor laughed and continued to explore forward carefully.

The archaeological team members were full of strength, persistently clearing the collapsed parts of the passage, and then re-fixing and supporting it to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent archaeological work.

As the progress continued, the professor began to become uneasy.

The passage deep inside seemed to have signs of being deliberately destroyed, with a considerable part chiseled open, and traces of being burned by fire.

But fortunately, some carvings and murals survived.

It's just that the scenes described inside were very strange.

Some people grew spikes all over their bodies, some became incomparably tall, some grew multiple wings on their backs, and others became strange-looking, difficult to distinguish what they were.

"What are all these?" The professor frowned, stopping in front of a mural.

The mural recorded "wars" that took place in ancient times, and the protagonists of the scene were that group of strange-looking things.

They, either in groups or individually, killed piece after piece of stick figures without leaving any behind.

The audience roughly understood that this "Supreme Heaven Parasite," while "parasitizing," also gave the host powerful power, and even supernatural power.

In the stone carvings and murals, those strange-looking guys were humans who had obtained extraordinary power after being modified by the "Supreme Heaven Parasite."

Thus, everything made sense.

No wonder primitive people would crawl on the ground, perform sacrificial rites, and pray to it.

"However, since they were modified so powerfully by the 'Supreme Heaven Parasite,' why did they suddenly disappear? And it looks like they were completely wiped out."

"It is very likely that this modification process has a success rate; although the 'Supreme Heaven Parasite' can allow the successful ones to obtain powerful power, it leads to a low population, eventually leading to extinction."

"No, I actually think it's that the surrounding tribes united, launched a war, completely wiped out this tribe, and then sealed the 'Supreme Heaven Parasite' that brought disaster underground forever."

"Big boss, big boss."

Just as the professor was thinking, exclamations came from the deeper passage.

"Professor, come here quickly!"

"Coming!"

The professor took his assistants and rushed deeper inside.

The further in, the more light came from it, blue and green light.

Until they walked to the end of the passage and entered a natural cave.

Its ceiling was covered with stalactites, rounded but not sharp.

And in front of everyone was a pool of water, the surface as calm as a mirror, clear and transparent, glowing with blue and green light, as if it were a gem of the underground world.

The colors of these lights shifted from deep blue like the night sky to emerald green like jade, the gradient colors making the stalactites on the top beautiful and mysterious.

And in the center of the pool, there was a small lake island with a strange tree growing on it.

The professor looked at it, unconsciously opening his mouth, and took off his glasses.

That should be a tree, nearly 30 meters tall, with lush branches and leaves.

But the professor also felt that it was a huge insect, and the leaves were just its scales.

It continuously radiated blue and green light, and from the holes in its branches, blue and green liquid continuously flowed down, merging into the deep pool.

Undoubtedly, that was the god worshipped by the ancients.

God...?

The professor suddenly realized something, his face changed drastically, and just as he was about to speak, his expression became incomparably calm the moment before he opened his mouth.

"Alright." The professor said, "No need to record anymore."

The professor blinked his blue eyes at the photographer, then the third, then the fourth... ===== CHAPTER 602 =====
