Chapter 2 - Crystal pyramid

"What are these corpses!"

 

 Xia Chen carefully walked over, looking around from time to time. An extremely strange feeling appeared in his heart.

 

 He had a feeling he was dreaming, everything was too unreal.

 

 Xia Chen slowly approaches, see the faces of these corpses, he was shocked beyond attachment.

 

 These corpses have been air-dried, the skeleton is tall, more than two meters, the face is withered, no nose, like huge apes.

 

 Clothing for them was silk, light, and transparent, and they were able to see that the skin underneath was a kind of miserable white, which looked a little creepy.

 

 "Aliens!"

 

 Since the era of the Great Universe, humans have been in contact with countless kinds of aliens, and aliens are common.

 

 Now, the border between the human empire and the alien empire, and often war with aliens broke out.

 

 Mana Star was located at the border of the Galactic Empire, a desolate area, and the appearance of an extraterrestrial research institute under the ground here could not help but feel very exotic.

 

 At this time, the earth shook slightly again.

 

 In the blink of an eye, both the aliens' corpses and the silver-white equipment decayed rapidly, turning into silver-gray dust and gathering into a mound of ash.

 

 Xia Chen rubbed his eyes, then pinched himself hard, a pain that did him more awake.

 

 After making sure it was not a dream, XiaChen knew that the equipment and the alien corpses, which had probably been in use in tens of thousands of years, had oxidized and decayed immediately after coming into contact with the air, turning into dust.

 

 Time is merciless!

 

 Xia Chen took a deep breath, silently remembered for these long-dead aliens, and was in the process of turn around to exit, when he saw a shiny object not far away.

 

 Everything has been undermined by time, but there is still something that can be spared?

 

 Xia Chen, very curious, walked up and found a transparent crystal pyramid floating suspended in the air on a high platform.

 

 Around the crystal pyramid, there were more bodies of aliens.

 

 Needing to examine the situation, the aliens are studying this crystal pyramid. Or, worship?

 

 Just as XiaChen was thinking this, the crystal pyramid suddenly flickered a few times, transformed into a brilliant light, and disappeared from under his eyes.

 

 "Where did it go?" Xia Chen faintly froze.

 

 At this time, Xia Chen suddenly felt his body was burning, his head was dizzy, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, boundless sleepiness swept through his mind, and the whole person could no longer support himself and fainted on the ground.

 

 Xia Chen had a dream, a long, long dream.

 

 In the dream, he seemed to become an ape, the moment he stepped down from the tree, waving the wooden stick in his hand, towards the distant mountains whistling wildly.

 

 The mountains were just like a fairyland with exotic pines standing tall and white clouds swirling between them.

 

 A group of tall aliens resembling apes lived here without any worry.

 

 The peaceful life lasted for tens of thousands of years. Suddenly, one day, huge planetary warships broke through the clouds, as if the sky had split open and descended from beyond, and another group of aliens came, which looked like lizards, tall and tyrannical.

 

 The apes worshiped these lizard people as if they were gods of the sky.

 

 The lizards, however, treated these apes as slaves and trafficked them to various planets among the stars, some as hard laborers who died miserably in a foreign land, and some were put in cages to be enjoyed and miserable.

 

 Enslaved for only a short thousand years, the apes began to rebel, a hundred years to reverse the rule of the lizardmen, the establishment of their empire, and began the path of cosmic exploration for supremacy.

 

 A long period of cosmic exploration, countless years.

 

 The footprints of these apes stepped to almost every corner of the universe, their empire, at its most gigantic, contained three galaxies and ten million planets. And their civilization, with the development of technology, became the ruler of this starfield.

 

 In the eyes of most civilizations in the universe, the apes are omnipotent gods.

 

 Their technology has enabled them to indeed approach the realm of the gods, and have even touched the hem of the gods.

 

 They are in a position to move mountains, annihilate stars, swim through black holes, and travel light-years in an instant.

 

 But they know that above their civilization, there is a more advanced civilization, a civilization very different from the technological civilization - celestial beings.

 

 Celestial beings are free from the bondage of the physical body and are purely spiritual beings. They have no end to their lives and are constantly traveling in the universe.

 

 The gods worshipped by many races are otherworldly beings who occasionally travel to this planet.

 

 Celestial beings can do something.

 

 The apes and monkeys also want to be godly beings.

 

 Although they are only one step away from the otherworldly beings, this hurdle is a gigantic ravine that countless races in the universe are unable to overcome and are eventually annihilated in the dust of history.

 

 Xia Chen also woke up from the coma. Eyes full of vicissitudes.

 

 A race of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, from the birth of wisdom to the final extinction, condensed in a dream, and this dream is also honest, can not let XiaChen produce a sense of illusion.

 

 Whether the dream is reality or reality is a dream. Xia Chen can not tell.

 

 At this moment, he is but one feeling.

 

 Civilization is just like a weed, so fragile, but also so brilliant.

 

 Frozen for a long time, Xia Chen only then recovered from the illusory feeling of brain pawn.

 

 He first felt a wave of dizziness, a chaotic tingling feeling inside his brain, as if he had been put into a blender and broken, and then stuck haphazardly with poor quality glue, jumbled thoughts running everywhere.

 

 He took a deep breath to ease a bit and disposed to escape from the collapsed mine.

 

 The pit was a mess, and XiaChen walked quickly through the darkness, clutching his mechanical arm in his hand.

 

 It was just so peaceful around him that he finally noticed another sound mixed in with the sound of his footsteps, the sound of a thick mat of flesh falling on the rocks.

 

 At the same time, he smelled a tumultuous and unsettling heat that was contained in the beast.

 

 He turned his head sharply, and with a sweep of his searchlight behind him. Saw in the lightweight four shadows following him silently!

 

 Predator beast!

 

 The collapse had connected the predator beast's lair to the mine tunnel!

 

 XiaChen's pupils snapped shut, remembering his father's moans of pain as he lay in bed.

 

 "Father, only one predator beast was encountered at that time and was seriously injured!"

 

 XiaChen's back was soaked with cold sweat! There was approved as many as four heads he faced!

 

 predator beast live underground and are not sensitive to light, at this moment they are hanging obliquely with ferocious eyes, their noses twisting and turning, tasting the fragrance emanating from XiaChen's body, saliva clattering out of their mouths, dripping down on the rocks and emitting a stream of white smoke.

 

 Escape! Can only escape!

 

 Xia Chen made up his mind, face toward the predatory beast, close to the rock wall. Slowly backward.

 

 Xia Chen knew that these terrible beasts, the moment he turned away, would pounce fiercely, using its dagger-like claws to tear him apart.

 

 And once the attack is initiated, the predator beast will pounce and bite to the end, there is no mercy and the possibility of shutting down the mouth. If you're pleased to be killed, they will even bite up with their companions next to them, killing each other, an extremely ferocious beast.

 

 Be sure to retreat as slowly as possible! Must consider these beasts straight in the eye, without fear! Must not make any fearful noise!

 

 Xia Chen slowly backward.

 

 Suddenly.

 

 Xia Chen stumbled, tripped on a protruding rock on the ground, and fell!

 

 The predator beasts, of course, would not let go of this opportunity, swooping over. Sharp claws tearing through the air with a sharp clang.
