Hao Ren had no idea how the people around him could always stray from the topic. Whenever Vivian was around, the topic would always shift to the poor man's fortune. But thanks to the digression, the tension at the scene was finally alleviated.
Hao Ren had the same thought as Y 'lisabet when he saw the magnificent view of the Golden Manor. After all, gold was not the same on Earth as in Tannagost. Even the ancient otherworldlings, who were like gods, could not live like mortals. Just look at the number of companies run by the Athens' sanctuary; these guys were also human beings. So the Golden Manor of the Ancattero family was also an amazing wealth in the otherworldling society. But when he thought about it, Hao Ren could understand why Ancattero could sit on a mountain of gold for so many years. The otherworldlings were not short of money. Except for Vivian, no otherworldling would die of poverty. In addition, the entire Earth belonged to them in ancient times. In modern times, they were forced by the demon hunters to fight in slow motion, fearing that they would be hunted down. They did not have the time to think about the gold of the Tannaeans.
With so much energy, they were more concerned about how to improve their strength.
Of course, the second and most important reason was that most otherworldling families might not be able to defeat the Tannaeans.
Hao Ren looked around at the spectacular buildings that reflected the signs of advanced civilization. This was an alien base left on Earth. Its technological level was at least a hundred years ahead of Earth's, demonstrating the powerful technological strength of the Tannaeans. At the same time, it also explained a problem: not only the number of Tannaeans was large, but they also maintained a considerable degree of industrial and material base. Just like the sirens who fled in colonial ships, the Tannaeans also came to Earth with a lot of wealth. What about the otherworldlings of Holletta at the same time?
Hao Ren still remembered the records left by Vivian in the ancient manuscripts. She mentioned several times when she met the ancient gods, such as Zeus and other gods quarrying stones on Mount Olympus, Osiris fetching sand from the Nile River, and Odin and other Asgardian gods picking up twigs from the seaside. It sounded like a mythical story. At first, it sounded scary. But when you think about it, it was just a bunch of unlucky guys who were thrown to Earth without a place to live and had to struggle to survive by cutting trees with their bare hands.
Hao Ren did not think so much when he first saw Vivian's manuscripts. Now, looking at the Golden Manor, he realized that every otherworldling came to Earth under different circumstances. Zeus and Odin needed to mine stones, chop trees, and chop firewood to settle down, while the sirens had a huge "Nasaton" colonial ship as a shelter from the beginning, and the Tannaeans built a golden manor. It was impossible for so much high-purity gold to appear on Earth 10,000 years ago. So the building materials and equipment of the Golden Manor (strictly speaking, a city) must have been brought from their hometown by the Tannaeans. No wonder they could eventually become the family that guarded the seal and had survived to this day: they had the strength.
While these thoughts were running through Hao Ren's mind, they had crossed the outer building circle of the Golden Manor. The cities of the Tannaeans had their own characteristics. Just like Alamanda, the cities they built were always roughly circular and divided into many concentric circles from the inside to the outside. There was a clear boundary between each layer of the building circle: a series of magnificent barriers or continuous wall-like buildings, and the team had just passed through such a barrier. Y 'lisabet looked at the golden gate that they had just passed through and stuck out her tongue. "No wonder they want to build their houses in a different dimension. How heavy is this gold? If it was built on Earth, it would probably sink into the ground."
"It's not pure gold." Hao Ren shrugged. He had studied the buildings of Alamanda specifically because of this problem. "It's just that the building materials contain a certain amount of gold. And their material science is very advanced. The walls of these houses are very thin, and there are few supporting structures. The overall weight is not too exaggerated. I guess they must have put in a lot of effort to study the technology to reduce the weight and improve the strength of the materials. "
Lily laughed. "So it's not necessarily a good thing to be born in a place full of gold. I wonder how they built their first skyscraper."
Wayne listened to Hao Ren's discussion and felt a little puzzled. He did not know how Hao Ren knew the buildings of the Ancattero family so well. But just when he was about to ask something, Lily suddenly sniffed and stopped. "Wait a minute, there's a smell!"
"What?" Hao Ren could not react for a moment.
Lily shook her hand silently, lowered her body, and walked forward while sniffing. The rest of the team followed behind her. After walking for a while, Vivian and Wayne also felt the smell: the smell of blood and stench in the air was getting more and more obvious.
At this time, the fog around them had thinned to the point that it was almost gone.
Finally, at the last intersection, Y 'lisabet pointed to the distance and jumped up. "Look over there!"
A body was lying there.
Everyone quickly ran over. Wayne recognized the body when he saw it from a distance. "It's the Ancattero family!"
"There's one here too, and here … Holy sh * t!" Lily ran to the side of the body and immediately stretched her neck to look around. Finally, she let out a cry of surprise. "Are they all … all dead?"
Hao Ren looked ahead. Although he had seen many big scenes, he still could not get used to it. There were countless bodies lying on the side of the road. It was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
"This is …" Y 'zaks stared at the scene in front of him. "It looks like there was a melee."
As Y 'zaks said, there were traces of battle everywhere on the street. Huge craters and cracks that looked like they were cut by sharp blades had devastated the city. A large number of street-side houses had been destroyed by some unknown force. Many of them were in a half-destroyed state. Molten outer walls of the buildings flowed along the terrain to the center of the road, and even cast many bodies in the ruins.
Hao Ren squatted beside a body. He saw that it was an alien who looked somewhat different from the people on earth. The body was thin, its limbs were slender, and its face was flat and wide. Its skin was a strange dark gold color, which was the most unusual feature of the body. The cause of death was obviously two fatal wounds on the chest and the side of the abdomen. The dark yellow 'blood' that flowed from the wounds had already dried up. An unusual smell of blood wafted from the body, and the whole street was filled with this smell.
This was the Tannaeans. Hao Ren had only seen them in sculptures before, but now he finally saw them in person.
Unfortunately, they were dead.
"The fog seemed to have hindered the spread of the smell of blood. Otherwise, I would have found it earlier with my perceptive ability," Vivian muttered as she bent down to check the way the Ancattero family members died. "These look like they were killed by cold weapons, but the cause of death looks like a high-temperature weapon … but not like the sacred flame of the demon hunters."
"There was a fight here," Y 'zaks said, checking a torn wall. "And it was a melee. This looks like it was blown up by a powerful explosive. The demon hunters don't seem to have the habit of using such explosives. "
Hao Ren looked at the destruction of the street. Some buildings on the side of the road had collapsed, some were cracked, and some were almost melted. There were craters and dents everywhere on the road, which looked like a bombed battlefield. It was not that the demon hunters did not have weapons that could cause such an effect. But as far as Hao Ren knew, the demon hunters were more specialized in killing people and small-scale destruction. Even if they used large-scale weapons, the traces left behind should not be like this.
He had seen the destruction of the Athens' sanctuary by the demon hunters, and the scene in front of him was completely different.
"This is the result of the Ancattero family's own weapons," Wayne said. "It looks like they killed each other and blew up their own town."
