Shepherding Humanity

Chapter 23: The age of our decline

Views:

More than two hundred years have passed, and the great flood has passed for several generations.

The people of the Babylonian tribe, because they wore animal skins and clothes, no longer needed the natural strong hair to keep warm. Their thick black body hair was gradually decreasing, and their bodies began to become tall and straight, gradually revealing their snow-white skin.

They began to move from the hairy apes to the sparsely haired sub-humans. In terms of body size, they were getting closer and closer to the rough, strong and strong Western races.

They used to have glorious civilization tribes and established the city-state era, but they still haven't recovered, and they still stay in the simple farming tribes, and they don't even have the ability to rebuild the city-state.

Their brilliance is based on the great hero king, Gilgamesh.

That great hero king possesses the strongest power in the world. With his own strength, he suppressed countless species of giant beasts in the world, making their Sumerian race the top of the food chain!

— But without the King of Heroes, they would have nothing.

They were unable to develop the Bronze and Iron Ages, and how could they fight tall behemoths again with simple stone spears and sticks

The only holy sword of civilization, the metal weapon, the sword of Damocles, has been permanently buried in the great flood and sank into the endless deep sea along with the hero king Gilgamesh.

Even now, they don't even have the ability to rebuild the city walls.

The royal city of Uruk was built by Gilgamesh alone. It took him only one month to move it around with huge rocks comparable to mountains.

But for ordinary people, the workload of building a giant city is already comparable to the difficulty of building a pyramid in ancient Egypt. It takes more than ten years. Under such a hungry and cold environment, how is it possible to have so much manpower and material resources

This moment.

Medea, the daughter of the leader of the Babylonian tribe, is sighing:

"Sumer is really rotten. It was an epic era that belonged to one person, the great hero King Gilgamesh. No wonder people at that time praised him, wrote epics for him, and recorded his glory."

Vast epic, brilliant civilization.

Merchants, shops, the Colosseum, slavery.

In the exquisite and rotten palace of Uruk, the great hero king who sits on the throne, with deep eyes and the sword of Damocles in his hand, overlooks all living beings.

"Our era is declining, heading for decline and extinction. If the sword of civilization bestowed by the gods is not lost, even if we do not have the power of the blood of power, we may not have such a difficult life."

"God, are we going to kill our Babylonian tribe?"

"Civilization is the power to protect our intelligent species... I, Medea, want to know the way forward for our civilization! How should we survive!!"

Medea has a calm face. She is the bravest and wisest person in the tribe. Her strength is not as good as that of men, but her killing skills enable her to defeat most of the warriors in the tribe.

She looked at the men of the hunting team wearing animal skins and returned to reality, "How is the exploration going on in this area?"

Surrounded by a swamp, rotten and dense, a warrior replied, "This is a vast muddy swamp. It should be the muddy terrain formed by the accumulation of water puddles after the great flood. There are many species in it, and there are many delicious fruits."

Here is the fertile swamp that Xu Zhi used chicken and cow dung to pave, and the natural plants are more vigorous.

"Is it a great flood?"

Medea took a deep breath and looked at the vast black swamp in front of her.

It is hard to imagine the disaster more than two hundred years ago, the vast flood that submerged the entire world.

God possesses great power unimaginable by mortals. He can destroy our entire world with every move.

"Then there is plenty of food here, and it will be our tribe's next collection point..." Her eyes circled for a week, and she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait, Galkai, where is Bolognas?"

Looking around, I also found that two people had disappeared.

This is something that has never happened before.

The savages in this land don't have much wisdom, and they don't sneak up on weak humans, because people with rough stone spears and axes can't break the scales of giant beasts at all, and can only let the giant beasts slaughter them as food. .

"Something's wrong. This seemingly quiet and peaceful swamp contains strange and terrifying creatures that we don't know about." Medea's face changed, "The huge size of the giant beast can't set foot in the swamp, it will only sink here. There's no sign of giant beasts, just small swamp creatures sneaking up on us."

"Walk!"

Medea made a decisive decision and left with more than twenty people.

But at this time, a disgusting and curious gray-black tentacle monster suddenly appeared in the swampy mud. Its tentacles were covered with gray seaweed, and the huge scarlet eyeballs surrounding the tentacles were bloodshot.

This is an extremely disproportionate body.

A big bloodshot eyeball actually occupies two-thirds of the body.

"What a nice view."

"How can there be such a good-looking girl in this world!"

A few burly men with animal skins suddenly looked at the evil-eyed creature's bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but frantically walked over, as if they saw a peerless beauty, and no one could hold back their excitement.

"What are you doing!?"

"Don't go!"

The surrounding Babylonian tribal warriors couldn't help but panic.

Such a weird and bizarre picture has overturned their cognition.

Medea, as the smartest person in the Babylonian tribe, instantly noticed something, "What kind of terrible creatures live in this muddy land?? Those strange, evil giant eyeballs can charm the prey to take the initiative to go, the disappearing Galkai, Bolognas , I'm afraid that they are throwing themselves into a trap and going to death!"

"escape!"

She made a decisive decision, led the crowd, and immediately abandoned the few people who were charmed and walked slowly, and fled quickly.

But at this time, she suddenly stopped, her eyes became hot,

"What a wonderful creature... They are weaker than us humans, with weak soft tentacles and stupid huge eyeballs, but they can have terrifying and incredible power, and they can destroy creatures stronger than themselves."

"Aren't we just as weak? Why, only they have a unique power..." Medea, with fiery eyes, seemed to have an unknown torch burning in her eyes, and there was a terrible thought in her eyes. Waking up in the mind:

I want to seize its power and revive the Horde! !

"Kill it, and we will escape!" Medea suddenly shouted.

"What?"

The warriors of the tribe were taken aback.

She turned back and raised the white stone spear high.

The sky sprinkled a ray of light, falling on her beautiful and glamorous face, like the goddess of war in Norse mythology, "Follow me to kill it, and I will bring its body back to the tribe!"
