Chapter 137 Lost History

The activities at the Wilderness Bar didn't start until nine o'clock in the evening.

Yu Ke and the Hu brothers and sisters temporarily separated and purchased the equipment needed for the hunting operation.

Because he was not sure how long he would stay in the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest, Yu Ke tried to make sure that he had enough when buying things, and filled up the imprint space, especially the filming equipment, which was a big update this time.

After shopping and returning to the hotel, Yu Ke prepared to take a bath to relieve his fatigue while there was still some time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off his coat, Ye Yingtong sent a message saying that there were some clues in the information he had sent before.

It was too troublesome to send and receive messages, so Yu Ke simply popped up a video invitation.

Ye Yingtong quickly agreed to the invitation and her face appeared on the phone screen.

She should be sitting in front of the computer, with a bookcase full of various ancient books and documents in the background.

"You look much better than before."

This was the first time the two met after they parted on the farm. Yu Ke noticed that Ye Yingtong not only did not look sickly before, but even her whole spirit seemed to have visible changes.

If I must say, she used to be a scholar doing research, and her appearance and temperament could be described as gentle as jade, but now even if she is still wearing the same clothes as before, there is an inexplicable coldness between her eyebrows.

"I have been recuperating for a while recently, and my body has completely recovered. I have consulted a lot of information about the ruins and murals you sent me before, and I have gained some information. Do you have time now?"

After a brief greeting, Ye Yingtong went straight to the point and asked.

"You said, I don't have anything to do now."

Looking at the time above the screen, Yu Ke nodded to indicate that he was listening.

"Let's talk about the various tools and facilities in the ruins first. I think it was a workshop for making bronze ware. Judging from the status and functions of the facilities, it is at least a special relic from a thousand years ago. The problem is that the scale of the houses in the workshop and the design and layout in front of the furnace are very strange and completely unreasonable."

Ye Yingtong took out her mobile phone while speaking and showed Yu Ke several unreasonable scenes of the ruins. After a pause, she said,

"If it weren't for the photos you sent, I would even doubt their authenticity. It's like a prank generated by AI technology, and it's also a relatively inferior one."

Yu Ke was also confused when he first saw the ruins in the temple underground palace, not to mention Ye Yingtong.

It was not until Sen Ling used his ability to show him the scene when the workshop was still in operation that he knew how the workshop used to work and how many extraordinary creatures worked day and night in it just to cast the bronze tripod.

"This is what I want you to verify for me. I want to know what era this workshop is from, when did the beast disaster described in the murals appear, and what exactly happened back then?"

Yu Ke is not from this world. He doesn't even know much about the modern situation, let alone the history of this world. He can only hope that professionals like Ye Yingtong can answer him.

However, judging from Ye Yingtong's expression, the results of her exploration during this period are not ideal.

"I'm sorry, there are no discoveries in this regard for the time being."

In fact, this is the main reason why Ye Yingtong contacted Yu Ke specifically.

"Generally speaking, the murals of ancient people should record what happened in this area. In other words, if the beast disaster recorded in the murals really exists, it means that it occurred in Jinghang City and its surrounding areas. However, I have read a lot of historical documents in this area in the past few days, and there has never been a record of beast disasters in history."

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have always been the focus of historical documents.

It goes without saying that large-scale beast disasters that have caused great suffering to the people of the world are not something that can be ignored.

Even if there are no detailed records due to the long time, some information that can confirm each other should be found, so that there is nothing.

Moreover, with Ye Yingtong's identity, the documents and materials she could consult must be far more detailed than what ordinary people could find, but she still found nothing.

"Is it possible that it is from other regions?"

Yu Ke confirmed that the things on the murals did exist, and asked again.

"I am reading the historical documents of the surrounding areas. Compared with the speculation you mentioned, I am more inclined to the concept that has just been proposed in the historical community recently, the lost history!"

Ye Yingtong called specifically, of course, not to tell Yu Ke in person that she had found nothing.

The so-called lost history, as the name suggests, is a history that actually exists but cannot be deeply verified. At that time, humans may not even have formed a unified system of writing, so even if they want to record it, they have no way to start. Murals are the most common means.

"You are a special consultant to the Disaster Prevention Bureau. You should know that with the advent of the Great Disaster Era in recent years, a large number of relics have been discovered in the mountainous area, and a considerable number of things preserved in the relics come from the lost part of history."

Noticing Yu Ke's rather bewildered expression, Ye Yingtong knew that what he said might have touched upon the former's blind spot in knowledge, so after a brief thought, he continued,

"I think the murals you found are likely from an era that has not yet been explored or studied, and the relics found in the mountains are enough to prove that there were a lot of supernatural things in that era, and the beast disaster is likely just a part of that era."

At this time, Yu Ke has realized that what he saw in the temple underground palace is likely to be older than he imagined.

To be honest, Yu Ke has no interest in studying history.

The only thing he really wants to figure out is that tripod!

"There is one thing I care about. The content of the mural shows that people in ancient times used a tripod to suppress animal disasters. Is this an artistic expression or a real thing?"

"I can't be sure about this, but judging from some of the relics we have found now, a large number of supernatural objects appeared in the lost history, and the possibility of the existence of this bronze tripod cannot be ruled out. In fact, just like the red ghost mask, people at that time worshipped it as a divine object, and now we call it a strange containment object!"

"I understand. Thank you for your help during this period. If you find anything else later, please contact me at any time."

Although he didn't fully understand the situation of the mural, Yu Ke could feel that Ye Yingtong should have spent a lot of time on this matter during this period, and he should thank her.

"This is what I should do. In addition to informing you of the existing information, I am contacting you today because I will join a scientific expedition team to the newly discovered ruins in the mountains, so I will not be able to contact you in the next week or two."

The red ghost mask did not reduce Ye Yingtong's enthusiasm for exploring the ruins. Recently, the Disaster Prevention Bureau has successively formed scientific expedition teams, led by the instructors in the college, so she naturally wants to participate.

"It is said that the ruins this time are also very old. The scientific expedition team is full of experts in this field. At that time, I will ask you indirectly under the premise of confidentiality, and maybe we will find something."

"Well, remember to pay attention to safety and don't get involved with those strange and weird resentful spirits again."

Yu Ke glanced at the time. There were still more than ten minutes before the meeting time he and the Hu brothers and sisters agreed to meet, so he was ready to hang up the video.

"Don't worry, I have done a lot of exercise recently. Now only those ghosts are afraid of me."

Before closing the video, Ye Yingtong clenched her fist at the camera, and seemed to be confident about her next move.

Looking through the photos stored in his phone, Yu Ke's eyes stopped at a few close-up photos of the murals.

In fact, before sending these data to Ye Yingtong, he asked Sen Ling whether the workshop in the underground palace built the tripod on the mural, and the latter's answer was vague, saying only that it consumed a lot of divine power, and as for the specific purpose, it didn't know.

Yu Ke's intuition told him that Sen Ling must be hiding something.

Yu Ke couldn't ask about things it didn't want to say, and the doubts in his heart arose at that time.

What exactly was the item that made Sen Ling, who controlled the entire Mirror Lake Forest at that time, deliberately avoid it?

He got up and threw his phone on the bed, took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

It was definitely too late to take a bath, so he could only take a shower and change clothes.

The screen of the phone stuck in the quilt was still on.

The picture on the screen was fixed on the bronze tripod that was worshipped by all the people.

Put the confusion and troubles behind him for the time being.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Ke followed the Hu brothers and sisters to the Wilderness Bar.

As a famous bar in the No. 3 transfer station, both the decoration and the service are undoubtedly top-notch.

The facade looks very wild, but the environment inside the store is much more "delicate" than Yu Ke imagined.

Perhaps in order to distinguish it from those vulgar and third-rate nightclubs, there are no colorful lights and noisy rock music in the Wilderness Bar. Instead, there are retro bands playing live. The holographic projection renders the ceiling into a starry sky in the wilderness. A stone pond bonfire is also projected in the center of the dance floor, and from time to time a few wild beasts run across the bonfire.

The area around the dance floor is a gathering place for hunters. Not only does it provide drinks, but also various carefully cooked dishes with ferocious beast meat as the main ingredient. The only drawback is that the price is extremely expensive, which is obviously specially prepared for professional hunters.

Yu Ke liked the environment in the restaurant as soon as he arrived. He sat at the edge of the dance floor and looked at the bonfire, which was very real except for the lack of temperature, and the bright Milky Way above his head with interest.

As the leader of the A-level Silver Fox Hunting Group, Hu Yingjie was undoubtedly a distinguished guest of the Wilderness Bar. As soon as he sat down, a leopard cat girl came over in high heels, bent over and handed the menu with both hands, inadvertently revealing the exaggerated ravine on her chest.

"I'm treating you tonight. Brother Yu, you don't have to save money for me. Just order whatever you want!"

After taking the menu and handing it to Yu Ke, Hu Yingjie was determined to make friends with the former, even if he had to bleed a lot tonight.

"Just order a few special dishes to taste, the meat of fierce beasts is very expensive."

For Yu Ke, the effect of ordinary fierce beast meat on his physical fitness has long been infinitely close to zero. To put it bluntly, it's just a taste. If he really wants to feast on it, he will have plenty of time to hunt fierce beasts and barbecue when he enters the depths of Jinghu Forest tomorrow.

After the three of them ordered their food, they talked about the recent situation in Jinghu Forest.

"Since the Pandora incident, the degree of environmental changes in the deep forest seems to have increased, especially in the water forest. It's interesting to say that the video shot by Yu Ke made many people want to try their luck in the hot spring forest area where the Monkey King is. They all think that there must be a lot of high-level beast skeletons accumulated around the hot spring where the Monkey King is hiding, all of which are precious materials."

Hu Yingjie took the initiative to bring up the topic and talked about the recent rumors that have been popular among hunting groups.

"Less than three days after the video was sent out, a hunting group found the hot spring forest area. Not to mention, there were really a lot of beast remains at the scene. They were originally full of joy to welcome this overwhelming wealth, but they didn't expect that the place had already been occupied by the new Monkey King. Not only did they not return with a full load, but they lost several people. After returning, even the team was dispersed."

"They probably thought that the video was sent by me after I came back from shooting. In fact, I edited it for a while."

Yu Ke leaned against the sofa. He didn't have much sympathy for the experience of the hunting group. He just felt a little funny.

The hot spring forest area occupied by the Qishui Monkey King is the best territory among the water and forest lands, and there is no "window period" possible.

If a hunting group that has no strength and only wants to take advantage dares to go there, it will definitely be taught a lesson by the new overlord.

"By the way, how did you deal with the body of the Qishui Monkey King at that time? Judging from its state at the end of the video, it should have been infected and was about to become a deformed beast, right?"

Hu Yuzhi sat opposite Yu Ke and asked curiously.

"Of course, I handed it over to the Forestry Protection Bureau to solve it. I am alone, so how can I have time to deal with the body there."

Yu Ke responded casually, and his attention was quickly attracted by the suddenly changing light and shadow in the dance floor, as well as the passionate percussion music.

The broadcast of the giant beast competition will start soon!

The light and shadow flickered in the dance floor, and the influence of the starry sky and the bonfire in the wilderness dissipated.

Instead, there was a building located in the center of the city, which looked like a modern version of the arena. At this time, the camera screen could see that tens of thousands of spectators were entering from various openings.

Yu Ke's eyes were not on the arena, but on the architectural style around it, which was very different from that of Jinghang City. He looked at it inexplicably familiar.

"Do you feel familiar? In fact, the most famous attraction in Jinghang City, Monster Castle, imitates Nangang City."

Hu Yingjie saw Yu Ke's surprise and explained with a smile,

"Nangang City is a coastal city and an international metropolis with a large number of foreigners living there. The environment is different from that of inland cities such as Jinghang City, so the architectural style is quite avant-garde. The arena where the giant beast competition is held is in the castle area. I heard that other urban areas also have their own merits. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must go and see them."

The population group effect caused by the catastrophe era has made this international metropolis more prosperous. As one of the best, Nangang City is truly all-encompassing.

"Tsk, it's not as good as you say. The coastal area of ​​Nangang City was attacked by sea beasts some time ago. It is said that a giant sea beast rushed into the city during the storm, causing huge damage. The Disaster Prevention Bureau also issued an emergency notice. The danger level is similar to the cold wave some time ago."

Looking at the introduction of the two giant beasts participating in the ring competition in the holographic projection, Hu Yuzhi curled her lips and said.

This era is so special.

Regardless of whether it is an international metropolis or a key inland city, natural disasters always come uninvited and never pick targets!
