Appearing underground on Mars and stepping into the cave, Lan Mu choked a few times.
The air was terrible. There was very little oxygen in the Martian atmosphere. Although he was now a psychic divine beast, it did not mean that he could happily absorb carbon dioxide.
Fortunately, as a divine beast, regardless of whether it was demonic power or something else, he always had some magical power.
Simulating the demonic power isolation of the Kill Pill, Lan Mu held his breath and crawled on the ground, listening to the ancient information contained in the ancient geology underground.
With Truth Listener's physique, it would not die even if it did not breathe for dozens of hours. Magical power circulated in its body, making Lan Mu feel no discomfort.
It could be seen that Truth Listener's cultivation method was more advanced than Nine-tailed Fox's.
Nine Tails still needed to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, while Truth Listener was lying there and automatically cultivating.
Of course, although it was brilliant, it was more systematic. Nine Tails' cultivation progress was much faster.
Lan Mu channeled the voice that was filled with information. First, it was the geographical information of the area, followed by the main components.
What these components had experienced in the vague geological changes, what they were originally like, and what they were like now.
A large amount of irrelevant or unimportant information was read. If Lan Mu continued listening like this, he would have to listen for hundreds of years before he could finish listening.
Of course, he did not need to go through so much trouble. He only needed to know a certain period of time so that he could listen to the general information.
Lan Mu knew that it was 15 million years ago, so he skipped the changes in the middle.
After a day, he finally understood the ins and outs of this place.
"What I imagined was completely wrong …"
The more he knew, the more incredulous Lan Mu felt.
The ruins were indeed a Martian city. 15 million years ago, there were a large number of invertebrates living here. They were a tentacle race.
The city itself was actually an aquarium. All the passages were not used for walking, but for swimming.
This place was once filled with water, just like the streets on Earth were filled with air.
They also developed a civilization, but because of their aquatic habits, their smelting technology was very poor. On Mars, which was rich in iron, they relied on a special chemical liquid to make ironware.
In other words, they didn't use fire to refine weapons, but water instead.
The direction of technology was very strange. Lan Mu discovered a simple observatory in the outermost layer of the city. Of course, it was just a pile of minerals now. It could be seen that they were curious about space, just like the ancient stargazers. However, due to limited conditions, they couldn't even conquer the sky, let alone outer space.
Lan Mu had no idea what the characteristics of the tentacle race were. The only reason he could read the Mance creature from the geological information was because of the organic matter in the mud.
These organic substances were the remnants of life on this planet after the death of life.
If he wanted to know more, he would waste a lot of time.
Lan Mu was not interested in its characteristics, what he was interested in was where the Dragon Continent was.
"No … Mars doesn't have a dragon continent. 15 million years ago, an attack from outer space brought about the apocalypse. A rocket blasted a huge crater. "
Lan Mu ran to a rock covered in mud. This was once a research institute of the Mance people. On the surface, it was impossible to tell what it used to be, but Truth Listener could still tell.
"I was overthinking things. When I discovered the remains of the rocket, I thought that there had been an intense battle. I didn't expect that there was only one rocket. Furthermore, the rocket attack this time was very forced."
Lan Mu listened to the discovery of the rocket fragments and the so-called trash that was the spherical box.
Slowly, he learned that these two things were actually one. It was the only 'rocket' that the Dragon Continent had launched to Mars.
The appearance of the rocket was also recognized. It was a dragon-patterned alloy 'bullet'. As a rocket, it was very incompetent because it was too small. It could not carry people, nor could it be loaded with enough explosives.
Furthermore, the technology used was very crude. It was inferior to modern Earth's technology. It felt like it had been produced by a private factory. To be able to safely reach Mars was purely due to good angle calculations. From this, it could be determined that the Dragon Continent had extraordinary attainments in astronomy and mathematics.
With technology that might not be as advanced as Earth's in the last century, they had completed the feat of an interplanetary attack.
"The appraisal gas misled me. This is actually a disposable transport plane. Because of its small mass, it was barely able to speed up and was sent to Mars by luck. It was a very forced attack, but the effect was surprisingly good. "
The rocket was very small. It couldn't carry people, nor was it enough to attack. It was only used to send a box that was called trash.
It was precisely because of this that this inconspicuous action destroyed the Mance civilization and wiped out all life on Mars.
The battle that Lan Mu imagined never happened. This was a one-sided instant kill.
The box was called household trash because it contained feces.
Of course, the appraisal gas couldn't detect this because there was no trace of what used to be in the box.
It was unbelievable. The residents of the Dragon Continent had worked so hard to create a small rocket after precise calculations. They had finally sent it to Mars with great difficulty, but it was to launch this thing.
It was … a biochemical weapon.
It destroyed the immune system of the Mance civilization's tentacle race and caused a cross-species plague. Large numbers of plants and animals died.
This was a biochemical disaster. The ignorant activities of the tentacle race and animals in the early days caused it to spread all over the world. Then, all kinds of terrible viruses caused the genes to collapse. The plants also mutated and developed serious wilts. Famine and civil strife followed one after another. In the end, a generation of civilization died.
The extinction of species had happened several times on Earth, and each time, it was tenaciously recovered. New life bloomed again and again, and it was getting better and better.
Unfortunately, Mars didn't make it through. The terrible biochemical attack caused the extinction of microbes in large numbers, causing Mars to become a dead planet.
Life was too important to the evolution of a planet. Plants, animals, and even bacteria played a vital role in the ecology of a planet. If there was no life on Earth, it would be a desert now. There wouldn't even be water.
The 'Pandora's Box' of the Dragon Continent was too deadly. It caused the lifeless Mars to slowly become what it was now.
The air was thin, the land was barren, but some areas still had organic mud and microbes that were slowly starting to grow.
This was the truth, coincidental and invisible. After Lan Mu heard this, he was silent.
Because the technology of the Mance civilization was low, they didn't know who did it until they died. They might have thought it was a natural disaster … On the other hand, he, a passer-by thousands of years later, saw the real culprit.
However, Lan Mu still didn't know where the Dragon Continent was, but it didn't stop him from guessing.
The most likely place was Earth. It was almost certainly Earth.
Because the technology of the small rocket carrying the Box was too crude, it was impossible to launch it from a farther place. The only possibility was Earth.
In other words, the Dragon Continent was a continent on Earth.
The name came from the gas of identification. It would never shoot at random, so it must have been called that.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the case …"
Based on the known information and speculation, Lan Mu came up with a rough idea in his mind.
Earth had the Dragon Continent, and the level of civilization was equivalent to the early part of the last century. Mars had the Mance civilization, which was equivalent to the Middle Ages.
The two civilizations were so similar. On the vast scale of the universe, the distance between them was actually no different from being close to each other.
Of course, Earth discovered each other first, and as a result, did something unexpected.
They created a weapon that was barely beyond their capabilities, just to send a gift.
It was a gift that would kill him.
