"Professor Carlo, what exactly is that thing?"
"To be honest," Carlo said gloomily. "I've only seen a picture before, and it's a female one. We didn't even know that it has a male."
"What are you talking about? How can they reproduce without males?" Dell pursed his lips. "But do you take jobs? I want to raise a female one. "
Everyone turned to Dell and looked at him as if he was a pervert.
Okay, Dell also felt that he was a pervert.
Because … he really had that thought.
"You better get rid of that thought," Chen Zhao said with a dark expression. "Otherwise, I'll crush your balls. I can definitely do it."
"Chen, I think we should cut ties with him and leave him in the mountains."
"I think so too."
"Okay, okay. I was just joking."
With Chen Zhao's understanding of him, he definitely wasn't joking.
If the operation wasn't a bit complicated, Dell would definitely put his perverted idea into action.
Professor Carlo continued, "My understanding of this monster is limited to a photo and a name given to it by a mental patient, Crypt Demon."
"Do they live underground?"
"I think so." Professor Carlo nodded.
"So you came here to see this Crypt Demon?" Chen Zhao asked curiously. "Or are you looking for something?"
"Ha … Do you want to know?"
"Yes … If you're willing to tell us."
"We've been all over the world, and in many ancient ruins, there are more or less records of ancient civilizations. However, most of them are indirect evidence. In my investigation, I found some evidence that points to this place. It's very likely that this is a ruin left behind by an ancient civilization."
"You mean the Mayan civilization?" Chen Zhao asked.
After all, when it came to American civilizations, people would first think of the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs.
Of course, as an outsider, Chen Zhao had heard more about the Mayan civilization.
The Mayan civilization was also the oldest on the American continent. It was even older than the Egyptian civilization.
Carlo shook his head. "Not the Mayan civilization. I'm talking about an ancient civilization. More accurately, it's a prehistoric civilization. It should be ten thousand years ago."
"And I suspect that those monsters were transformed or mutated from humans."
"You mean those ugly monsters? Are you sure they're the same species as us? Or close relatives? "
"Although they don't look like primates, it might be due to environmental factors. Take the Asian, Caucasian, and African as an example. In fact, all humans in the world should have been born from the same mother 10,000 years ago. In other words, these three major races were born in 10,000 years. So, under extreme conditions, it's not impossible for a fourth race to be born."
"What do your speculations about these monsters and the so-called prehistoric civilization have to do with my question?"
"As I said before, we're an expedition team. Of course, we're looking for valuable things."
"Is this something from the prehistoric civilization?"
"That's right."
"What is it?"
"I don't know. We don't have a clear goal, but if we can prove the existence of the Prehistoric Civilization through this adventure, then we'll have wealth and fame. That's what we're after."
"How is it? Do you understand our work?" Carlo looked at him with interest. "Are you interested in joining us? I'm sure you'll become a great explorer. "
"Do we have weekends?" Chen Zhao was a good example of how to break down a conversation in the first sentence.
Curiosity was one thing, but if they were to go deep into the mountains and forests like today and talk about life with these unreasonable monsters at every turn, who could stand it?
Anyway, Chen Zhao wouldn't accept it. He was quite satisfied with his current work and pace of life.
The night seemed especially long. Even though everyone was sleepy, they still didn't dare to sleep.
After all, no one knew if they'd encounter monsters again.
The next morning, everyone packed up and continued their journey, leaving the forest.
"Chen, you really don't want to become an explorer?" Carlo invited again.
"How much will you pay me?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars. How about that? That's not a small amount. "
Indeed, an annual salary of two hundred thousand was already a high salary.
But … would Chen Zhao like it?
"Goodbye."
…
After exiting the forest, Chen Zhao, Risfar, and Dell parted ways with the expedition team.
"Chen … Luckily, you were here. Otherwise, we'd have died in there." Risfar hugged Chen Zhao.
"Let go. I hate being hugged like that by a man."
"It feels good to walk out alive." Dell let out a long sigh.
When Chen Zhao returned home, it was already noon.
After washing himself from head to toe, he lay down on the chair and slept soundly.
In the evening, Fali came back and woke him up.
"Chen, you look really tired. Do you want to continue sleeping?"
"I don't want to sleep when I see you." Chen Zhao pulled Fali over and had her sit on his lap. "A, B, C, go prepare dinner."
"What happened to your hand?" Fali pulled Chen Zhao's right hand. She saw that it was bruised and covered in medicine.
"Don't mention it. I went hunting in the mountains yesterday and encountered something abnormal."
"Something dangerous?"
"It was fierce, but it wasn't much of a threat to me. I killed it with one punch, but its skin is thick and it injured itself."
"Are Dell and Johnny okay?"
"They're fine, but they were really scared," Chen Zhao said.
"Will we encounter the same danger the next time we go hunting?"
"We won't be that unlucky. There aren't that many monsters in the world."
"Next time we go hunting, bring Princess. She's the best."
"When are you free? We can go on a vacation or camping. "
"I definitely won't be free. After all, I only took five days off last time. It'll be at least two months later."
"Fine." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.
Just then, an inferior demon ran over. "Master, Madam, dinner is ready."
"Okay, you guys go eat too."
