More than two hundred years had passed, and a few generations had passed since the Great Flood.
As the people of the Babylonian tribe wore animal hides and clothes, they no longer needed natural thick hair to keep them warm. Their thick black body hair gradually decreased, and the thin outer shell disappeared. Their bodies began to straighten, and gradually, snow-white skin was revealed.
They began to change from a hairy ape to a thinly furred subhuman. In terms of body shape, they were getting closer to the rugged and strong Westerners.
They once had a glorious civilization and established a city-state era, but they had yet to recover. They were still a simple farming tribe, and did not even have the ability to rebuild a city-state.
Their glory was built on the foundation of the great Hero King, Gilgamesh.
The great Hero King had the strongest power in the world. With his strength alone, he suppressed countless beasts in the world, allowing their Sumer race to become the top of the food chain!
But without the Hero King, they would have nothing.
They could not develop into the bronze and iron age. With simple stone spears and clubs, how were they to fight against the huge beasts again?
The only sacred sword of civilization, a metal weapon, the Sword of Damocles, had been buried in the Great Flood of Annihilation along with the Hero King Gilgamesh, sinking into the endless deep sea.
Even now, they did not even have the ability to rebuild the city walls.
Uruk Royal City was built by Gilgamesh alone. He had personally moved huge rocks that were comparable to mountains to surround it, and it only took him a month.
But for ordinary people, the amount of work needed to build a huge city was comparable to the difficulty of building the pyramids in ancient Egypt. It would take more than ten years. In such an environment of hunger and cold, how could there be so much manpower and material resources?
At this moment.
The daughter of the Babylonian tribe's leader, Demetrius, sighed.
"The Sumer sure is rotten. That was an epic era that belonged to one person, the great Hero King Gilgamesh. It's no wonder people sang praises of him, wrote epics for him, and recorded his glory."
A vast epic, a glorious civilization.
Merchants, shops, colosseums, slavery.
In the beautiful and dilapidated Uruk Royal Palace, the great Hero King sat on the throne. His eyes were deep and boundless, and he held the Sword of Damocles in his hand.
"Our era has fallen. We are on the path of decline and extinction. If it weren't for the fact that the God-given Sword of Civilization was lost, even if we didn't have the power of the Blood of Power, we wouldn't have had such a hard time."
"Heavens, are you going to destroy our Babylon tribe?"
"Civilization is the power that protects us sapient species … I, Demetrius, want to know the path forward for our civilization! How are we supposed to survive?! "
Demetrius looked calm. She was the bravest and wisest person in the tribe. She was not as strong as the men, but her killing skills allowed her to defeat most of the warriors in the tribe.
She looked at the few men of the hunting team who were wearing animal skins and returned to reality. "How is the exploration going in this area?"
They were surrounded by a puddle of rotting mud. One of the warriors answered, "This is a vast muddy swamp. It should be a muddy terrain formed by the accumulation of water after the Great Flood. There are many species and delicious fruits in it."
This was a fertile swamp made by Xu Zhi with chicken and cow dung. Naturally, the plants were more vigorous.
"The Great Flood?"
Demetrius took a deep breath and looked at the vast black swamp in front of her.
It was hard to imagine the disaster that happened more than two hundred years ago. It was a great flood that drowned the entire world.
Gods have great power that mortals can't even imagine. They can destroy our entire world with a wave of their hands.
"Then there is enough food here. It will be the next gathering point for our tribe …" She looked around and suddenly realized something was wrong. "Wait, Garkai, where's Bolonigas?"
The people around looked at each other and realized that two people had disappeared.
This was something that had never happened before.
The barbarians in this land did not have much intelligence, nor would they attack the weak humans. This was because the humans with rough stone spears and axes could not break the scales of the giant beasts. They could only be slaughtered by the giant beasts and treated as food.
"Something's wrong. This seemingly peaceful swamp contains something strange. There are horrible creatures that we don't know about." Demetrius's expression changed. "The giant beasts cannot enter the swamp. They will only sink here. There are no traces of giant beasts. Only small swamp creatures are secretly attacking us."
"Let's go!"
Demetrius made a prompt decision and left with more than twenty people.
However, at this moment, a disgusting and strange gray-black tentacled monster suddenly appeared in the swamp. Its body was covered with tentacles that looked like gray seaweed. The tentacles wrapped around a huge scarlet eyeball that was covered with blood vessels.
This was an extremely disproportionate body.
A large bloodshot eyeball actually occupied two-thirds of its body.
"So beautiful."
"How can there be such a beautiful girl in this world!"
A few brawny men in animal skins suddenly looked at the evil bloodshot eyeball of the evil eye creature. They could not help but walk over with enthusiasm as if they had seen a peerless beauty. They were so excited that no one could stop them.
"What are you doing?!"
"Don't go over!"
The warriors of the Babylon tribe around them could not help but panic.
Such a strange and bizarre scene had subverted their understanding.
As the smartest person in the Babylon tribe, Demetrius instantly realized something. "What kind of horrible creature lives in this swamp? Those strange, evil giant eyeballs can actually charm their prey to go over. Garkai and Bologas, who disappeared, I'm afraid they walked into the trap and died! "
"Run!"
She made a prompt decision and led the people to abandon the charmed people. They slowly walked over and quickly ran away.
However, at this moment, she suddenly stopped and her eyes were burning.
"What a wonderful creature this is … They are weaker than us humans. They have weak tentacles and stupid huge eyeballs, but they have unimaginable power that can destroy creatures that are stronger than themselves."
"Aren't we weak as well? Why are they the only ones who have a unique power …" Midea's eyes were burning with passion. It was as if there was a nameless torch burning in her eyes. A terrifying thought was awakened in her mind.
I want to seize its power and revitalize the tribe!!
"Kill it, then we can run!" Demetrius suddenly shouted.
"What?"
The warriors of the tribe were shocked.
She turned around and raised the white stone spear high.
A ray of light shone down from the sky and fell on her beautiful and cold face. She looked like the Goddess of War in Norse mythology. "Follow me and kill it. I want to bring its corpse back to the tribe!"
