Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 584 - The Temple That Worships Pythons

Chapter 584 - The Temple That Worships Pythons

At this moment, everyone realized that the statues and reliefs on the pillars at the top of the temple were indeed human heads and snake bodies.
Indeed, there were some ancient gods that did not take the form of humans but were basically half-human and half-beast.
It seemed that this temple worshipped an incredible god.
However, the temple had long been dilapidated and had been abandoned for a long time, and the only person who lived here was the bearded man in front of him.
Klein sighed softly. "Although I don't know who the god you worshiped is, the fact that you drove these snakes to attack innocent people in such a holy temple and nearly caused a disaster to these people is probably not what a god would wish for..."
The bearded man looked aggrieved. "How would I know if you would harm me or even the temple if you suddenly barged in? My first reaction is naturally to deal with strangers like you!"
Although these Carmelas were poisonous, they weren't fatal. At most, they would make people fall into a coma.
The bearded man was indeed not particularly evil.
Klein's heart skipped a beat as he seemed to guess the origins of the temple.
"You said that you've always lived here? Then, you should know that this is a forbidden area that is rarely visited by humans."
"Other than you, we didn't encounter anyone along the way. Instead, there were some terrifying monsters. If you really didn't escape from another place and come here for some reason..."
That meant that this place was supposed to be a place with a large population and rich resources!
James blinked, feeling that Klein's speculation was a little off the mark.
Before this space was opened, this was a forbidden area that no one could get close to.
How did Klein deduce that not only was this place once inhabited, but it was once very prosperous?
The bearded man sighed softly. Speaking of the many legends about this space, it was originally independent of any other space. It was a country of its own.
It was a place where people gathered normally.
But ever since a python opened a barrier, things have changed completely...
Pythons were the gods in the hearts of everyone in this space. The people here originally believed in the god of the human head and snake body.
Therefore, all pythons and snakes in this area would be respected by the people.
They even set a rule that no cold-blooded animals could be hurt for no reason. Otherwise, they would suffer unimaginable disasters.
James blinked his eyes. Since there was still a strange culture that treated cold-blooded animals as precious gods, it was indeed unexpected.
Cold-blooded animals had a certain amount of offensive ability, so they couldn't possibly be human companions.
Moreover, pythons were usually highly poisonous. Once they got close, without the serum, humans would quickly die.
Of course, such a magical culture had indeed made this small space quiet for a period of time.
The appearance of that terrifying python had changed everything.
Not only did it break the boundary between this space and the outside world, but it had also started a war between the two spaces.
After the war broke out, the resources and people of the two spaces had suffered different degrees of damage, and this place gradually became desolate.
There were more natural and man-made disasters, and eventually, the population became smaller and smaller.
And this big bearded man himself was the high priest of the Guardian Temple. For generations, he had always remembered that he had never left the Guardian Temple, which was his lifelong responsibility.
Perhaps it was because he thought of the great disaster brought by the war back then, the bearded man could not help but sigh. Only then did he realize the value of peace.
Of course, he was only halfway through the story.
After experiencing the natural disaster of the war, the people finally began to recuperate. However, at this time, a terrifying force surrounded the entire space.
There was not a single blade of grass growing here, and the resources were gradually depleted. The humans were infected with various diseases and died one after another.
This place gradually became a land of death. No one dared to enter, and humans no longer existed. What replaced it was those terrifying mutated creatures...
This seemed to be the octopus that Klein had just encountered. These creatures basically ruled this world.
Although there were still traces left behind by many people, they were gradually covered by the power of nature.
James and Gray were both curious,
"What is that powerful power that you're talking about? Why did it cause this place to be barren and its resources to be exhausted? And how did the legend of this treasure spread?"
The bearded man shook his head. "I wasn't even born when it happened, so how would I know about these things? Many of the legends were learned through my parents. Our family worshiped the temple probably under the protection of a god, and we could be considered the only humans left in this place. As the surroundings were extremely dangerous, it's been a long time since I left this temple..."
Upon hearing the bearded man's words, Klein suddenly understood what he was doing.
It was no wonder that everyone who entered the temple would encounter the bearded man's vigilance and attacks.
Raising Carmelas was actually something the bearded man had no choice but to do in order to survive in such a dangerous environment.
A Carmela was just a weapon that he used to protect himself. Since they didn't want to kill each other, it proved that the bearded man still had a kind heart.
Klein extended his hand and patted the bearded man on the shoulder to apologize.
Klein looked at the bearded man and said, "It was indeed our fault for barging into your territory and fighting you. I'm really sorry. We did come here because we have something urgent to do!"
The bearded man sized Klein up and realized that the young man was still a little righteous. His words should be believable.
The bearded man looked at Klein and said, "You mean to say that you did indeed come from another dimension? "Then I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible. It's too dangerous. My temple can still hold on for a while. I can't guarantee what will happen in other places that are hundreds of times more dangerous than mine..."
Upon hearing the bearded man's words, Macbeth felt a chill run down his spine as he felt the urge to retreat.
Before this, he had thought that the terrifying Carmelas had changed his worldview, but later, he realized that this was just an entry level.
"Why have you always lived here and never greeted the neighbors? Or did you explore the deep secrets of this space?"
The bearded man shook his head gently. "Of course, I didn't dare. My father and grandfather told me this story. Before they died, they told me once again not to leave this temple...."
