C1822 place of refuge
The Sunrise Tribe's place of refuge was inside a mountain of sand, but it was not a pure mountain of sand, inside was a huge building. This place of refuge was said to have been discovered by Rui Samar when he was young. He had entered with his salon to explore before, and after he became the Clan Chief, he made this place the place of refuge of the Sunrise Tribe.
Entering into the building inside the sand mountain, Xia Lei saw the People of the Sun who was hiding here. However, the feelings brought about by the anxious and nervous faces were far less intense than the feelings brought about by the building itself.
It was a circular building. The space inside was at least fifty meters high and was supported by numerous huge stone pillars. It required several people to hold each stone pillar together. Its depth was at least a few hundred meters, and the ground and walls were made of huge stone. The impression he had of her was incomparably majestic.
On Earth, such buildings were mostly national level conference centers or exhibitions. However, he did not see any tables or chairs for the meeting, nor did he see any tables or chairs for the exhibition. Other than the People of the Sun who was hiding here, it was actually an empty, huge building.
Xia Lei's gaze moved to one side of the wall, and instantly, he was attracted, unable to shift his gaze away. The entire wall was filled with murals. To be more precise, every mural that formed a wall was a mural. The mural was not a religious god, nor was it a natural cult or a historical memory, but a world after another.
The wall made of rock was tens of meters high and hundreds of meters long. It used up tens of thousands of tons of huge stones, and on each of them there was a planet. In total, there were over ten thousand planets. Every planet had detailed engravings of the land and sea, as well as mountain ranges. Every planet was different, some were enormous, some were small. Some oceans account for a large percentage of the planet's surface area, while others include land and desert.
Xia Lei's line of sight shifted to a wall in the other direction. On that wall, there was the same thing. Every piece of stone that formed a wall was carved with a planet, and every planet was different. However, he didn't see any words, so he couldn't tell what these planets were or where they were. He did not know the intentions of the sculptor, but why would he carve so many planets?
"Esteemed apostle lord." Rui Samar walked over with a polite smile on his face, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Lei said: "The frescoes on the walls." His gaze moved to Rui Samar's face, "Old Patriarch, do you know the origin of these murals?"
Rui Samar shook his head, "I don't know, when I first found this place, I explored this place as well, but other than these frescoes, there was nothing else. "However, this place is big enough to be our refuge, so I led my clansmen to make this place our refuge."
Xia Lei said: "Old patriarch, before the Sunrise Tribe was destroyed, I also discovered some buildings that were buried within the sand mountain. Who exactly built these buildings?"
"I don't know. I think it was built by our ancestors, but I have no proof." Rui Samar said. He seemed to have fallen into some sort of memory, and his eyes seemed to be somewhat blurred.
Xia Lei was not surprised at all by this outcome. The People of the Sun did not even have any words of its own, and lived a pure life of a primitive tribe. Without the inheritance of the written word, there would be no historical records. How could the current People of the Sun know about the events that occurred in the distant past?
Xia Lei shifted his gaze to the top of his head. He saw a dome that was also made of huge stones. There were carvings on the stone too, not of planets, but of mysterious symbols. The symbols looked like they were hieroglyphs, but if one looked carefully, they looked like Energetic Rune s. His heart was filled with curiosity, "These symbols are very dense, they seem like a book. What are they describing?"
"Esteemed apostle, I would like to talk to you. "I've prepared some of my own brewed wine. We can drink and talk at the same time. Can you show us some face?" Rui Samar said.
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze from the dome, "En, thank you, of course I can." Then he added, "Old Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite in the future. Just call me Lei."
"Heh heh, good, good. Master Apostle, please come with me. " Rui Samar said before he turned around to lead the way.
Xia Lei followed Rui Samar. A few People of the Sun s bowed towards Xia Lei as he responded with a smile.
"I heard that the lord apostle wanted to help us rebuild our home, is that true?"
"Of course it's true. I heard it myself."
"Sigh, so what if it's true? We have lost our oasis, it is almost impossible to rebuild our home, not to mention we still have to face the scorpions, the Sunset Tribe, and the man from heaven who destroyed our oasis. "
"I believe in master apostle, he is the great Tiya Polo's apostle, he has God's power, there is nothing that he cannot do."
"Right, right, the reason we are still alive, and have not died under the bombardment of the heavens, isn't that the blessing of the great Tiya Polo?"
A wave of discussion was heard in the place Xia Lei had walked to.
A little girl suddenly ran out from the crowd. She opened her dry lips and looked at Xia Lei eagerly, "Uncle Apostle, I want to drink water. Shauna's mouth is really dry."
Shauna seemed to be her name.
Rui Samar said, "Shauna, stop messing around. It is not the time to divide the water. We have limited water supply, so we can only drink water when we need it the most. "
"Grandpa chief, my mouth is really dry ?" Shauna looked as if she were about to cry, but her eyes were watery from lack of water. There were no tears in her eyes.
"Lord Apostle, I'm sorry, but children are messing around." Rui Samar said: "Follow me."
However, Xia Lei did not move, and said: "I'm going to drink, but your children are enduring their hunger and thirst, that's not right." He squatted in front of Shauna and said with a smile, "Shauna, you want to drink some water, right?"
"En!" Shauna nodded vigorously. "Yes!"0
Xia Lei stretched out his hand and placed it on a stone board beneath his feet. The Runic Yin-yang Fish began to operate, sensing the water elemental energy below the ground. And it was this perception that allowed the Runic Yin-yang Fish to suddenly sense a large amount of the water element's energy. He was overjoyed, and immediately sent her branding power down.
"What is the apostle doing?" Someone asked curiously.
"I don't know. He seems to want to give Shauna water."
"He doesn't have any water on him. It seems like Shaba is going to be disappointed."
"If he has the power of God, he can fulfill Shaba's wish."
Amidst the discussions, Santissima appeared at the edge of the crowd. She did not approach, and only looked at Xia Lei quietly. She knew that Xia Lei had the ability to freeze ice in the desert, but she did not reveal it. Her eyes were also filled with reverence and delight. There was no woman who didn't like unrivaled heroes, let alone the great Tiya Polo's apostle, the man who had crossed paths with her before.
At this time, Xia Lei's brain was forming a three-dimensional image of the world below the ground based on the information detected by the branding power, which surprised him greatly. Beneath the building, at a depth of about two hundred meters, there was a spring, a green spring, and the water in the spring was flowing out at a very slow rate. Wherever it passed, the sand dissolved and turned into special rocks.
"This... Wasn't this the formation of the karst cave? Why is there a highly toxic spring water here? " Xia Lei's heart was filled with speculation, "Just how many caves and springs are there under this desert? Are they all related to the Dead Lake in Nirvana Sento? "
Although he did not have the answer nor evidence, Xia Lei vaguely felt that he had caught onto something important.
"Teacher and disciple uncle?" Shauna's voice interrupted Xia Lei's train of thoughts.
Xia Lei finally regained his senses, his hand leaving the stone floor beneath his feet. In that instant, a block of ice was born in his hand, and quickly grew to become a huge block of ice that was one metre wide in the blink of an eye. This block of ice was faintly green in color. Clearly, it was not some sort of pure ice. Instead, it was a piece of ice that contained a highly toxic poison.
There was nothing he could do. He had extracted the water elemental energy from the ground, and the energy from the water elemental energy came from the poisonous spring water. Although it was filtered through the sand, it still couldn't be completely filtered, and the remaining toxin was still very strong. He could not drink this kind of water, but it was not a problem for the People of the Sun, because in the original tribe, they were drinking the highly toxic water.
"Wah!" Such huge ice! " Shauna cheered and threw her arms out over the ice. "Mine! Mine! It's mine! "
"Haha!" Little Shauna, you can't be so greedy. You can't possibly eat such a big piece of meat.
"Give me a little, my child's lips are split open."
Many People of the Sun s rushed forward.
The most precious thing in the desert was water. The ice that Xia Lei had casually condensed was more enticing than anything else to these Sun Clan who were enduring their hunger and thirst.
"Don't fight over it, everyone. There's more!" Xia Lei said, then he created a new ice cube on the ground.
Pieces of ice were born in Xia Lei's hands, and every person in the Sunrise Tribe had a small piece to use to quench their thirst.
"Long live the apostle!"
"Great Apostle!"
Cheers erupted from the refuge.
Santissima did not walk over to praise Xia Lei, but quietly left instead.
"Master and disciple, come with me. These guys shouldn't be blocking our way anymore." Rui Samar said with a smile as he led the way.
Xia Lei only laughed, and did not speak. In his mind, he replayed the underground spring and thought about the problems related to it, "This desert is filled with huge ruins. There was obviously an extremely advanced and resplendent civilization, so why did they destroy it?" Was it those poisonous springs and caves? They spread throughout the desert, so where did they come from? "
"Lord Apostle, we are here." Rui Samar's voice.
Xia Lei withdrew his thoughts, and only now did he realize that he had already followed Rui Samar to a stone door. The stone door was not wide, and was only about two meters tall. However, it was astonishingly tall, with a height of more than ten meters. The stone door was tightly shut, so he could not see what was inside.
"Lord Apostle, please come in, I will go get the wine, and we will be here soon." Rui Samar reached out to push open the stone door, then turned and left.
Xia Lei walked in.
