Chapter 629 The Second Kingdom Exploration, the Divine Object of Hidden Snake City

Dark clouds drifted in from the eastern sea sky, bringing moist water vapor with them, and rain showers fell on the beach. The huge and strange stone statue with a human face is like a silent giant, standing still in the wind and rain, standing on the seaside for thousands of years. A long and mighty river merges into the sea here, overflowing with fertile fields along the river. And surrounded by large tracts of fertile farmland is an ancient city that has lasted for thousands of years, or even longer.

This is the Caribbean coast with a tropical rainforest climate. It is hot and rainy all year round, with precipitation exceeding 2,000 mm. That ancient city, one thousand three hundred miles away from the capital city in the lake, was located on the edge of the Totonac people's territory. It was the prosperous coastal city-state, Coatzacoalcos.

And the long river that flows from the depths of the jungle through Hidden Snake City is the Hidden Snake River. In the legend, Quetzalcoatl rode on a snake raft from here to the endless East China Sea.

"What? We rowed seven hundred miles by sea to get here from Quetzalcoatl City. How did we get here? It is also the place where Quetzalcoatl goes to sea in the legend?!"

Chihuaco, the old militiaman, scratched his hair and looked at the Mayan businessman Tikalo, who had a bald head. He looked at the calm-looking bald businessman with suspicious eyes and questioned mercilessly.

"Ti Carlo, you bald fox. How many Quetzalcoats are there in the legend? How many times did he go to sea? Do you know the details of these city-states?"

"Ahem! Captain Chihuaco, of course I know!"

Tikalo choked, touched his smooth and divine head, and replied with a forced smile.

"According to legend, there is only one Quetzalcoatl, and He only went to sea once! But this location to the sea is a holy place of pilgrimage for the coastal tribes who believe in Quetzalcoatl. Not only does it allow the descendants of the city-state to take on the aura of a holy place, It can also bring real income from pilgrimage.”

"So, the city-states along the coast usually claim that the long river near them is the mouth of the Quetzalcoatl where Quetzalcoatl goes out to sea!"

"Well, no! Along the way, the fleet saw so many river mouths. Could it be that they are all holy places? These Totonak tribes on the seaside are not fools. There will always be details in the legends to judge the authenticity of the holy places, right? Besides, after so many years, even turtles in the water can compete and tell who is the thousand-year-old bastard and who is the fake toad!"

Chihuaco glared at Tikalo and spoke the simplest dialectic. He always instinctively felt that this bald profiteer was unreliable.

"Cough! Cough!."

Mayan businessman Ti Carlo coughed several times before answering awkwardly.

"Captain Chihuaco is really like an old turtle. He seems ordinary, but has great wisdom. Indeed, this fight will definitely have results. Which city-state is stronger, which surrounding monuments are older, and which influence There are many tribes, so it’s a true holy land!”

"Today, there are only two sacred places left by the Totonak people that are truly believed by people. One is the Feathered Serpent City in the north, and the other is the Hidden Serpent City in the south. These two city-states are both very strong. It has been inherited for thousands of years and is far apart. It is believed by the surrounding tribes that they are two holy places!"

"So that's how it is, just like the Kingdom and the Alliance."

Huitu Puap touched his head and casually said something that was out of line. Soon, his eyes were attracted by the huge stone statue on the beach. He looked at it curiously for a while and asked questions again and again.

"God bless you! What are these giant human heads, three people tall, used for? Some of their facial features are standard, much like ours. Some have extremely protruding faces, and they look like some tribe! With their expressions, why are they so sad? What are those hats on their heads?"

".Uh. That was the giant stone man's head carved by the gods using themselves as models in the First Era. The gods came from all over the God Realm, so they would naturally have different appearances. They had known for a long time that the end of the era would be one day. Coming, so the expression is sad.”

". Inside the giant human head, there are the seeds of divinity left behind by the gods after they left. Only the descendants of gods with noble blood can be inherited. In the understanding of the various seaside tribes, nobility is born, divinity is divinely imparted. Inheritance Divine descendants are also destined to lead tribes! Whenever a distinguished divine descendant is born, comes of age, or dies in a city-state, all major tribes will hold sacrificial rituals under the giant stone man's head to inherit the ancient respected divinity and tribe. The power! As for the hat on the head"

Mayan businessman Tikalo thought for a long time, he didn't know, so he just made up an explanation.

"That hat is used to attract divine power. If you put it on, the thunder in the sky will carry the divine power and strike down with a 'bang'."

"boom!"

Just as Ti Carlo finished speaking, a thunder fell from the low clouds and landed on the nearby sea. The three people on the boat were startled at the same time, with panic on their faces, but for different reasons.

"Ah! Is it so dangerous? Then we'd better drive the boat farther away and stay away from these giant stone statues!"

Puap raised his head in awe and looked at the low and rainy sky. He gave a few instructions, and the sailors waved the flag to notify other ships, then moved two or three miles into the river mouth, and finally lowered the anchor outside Hidden Snake City. As for the flag language on the ship, it was naturally made up by His Majesty’s divine inspiration and used for simple communication between ships.

As the kingdom fleet approached the city-state, the ancient city gradually appeared in front of them. The white stone temple stood tall, surrounded by low blue brick walls. The nobles' houses were magnificent and spacious, while the ants' thatched houses were simple and crowded. Under the towering Quetzalcoatl Temple in the center was a wide central market. At this moment, all tribes from all over the world were trading here.

Ticarlo stood at the bow, tiptoed to look at the market, and soon narrowed his eyes. The Hidden Snake City is located at the junction of the northern Mayan states and the western Nahua tribes, and there are large rivers connecting the inland cities. So, as expected, he saw a number of divine slender heads, which were the symbols of Mayan colleagues from various city-states. What made him even more angry was that these colleagues all had hair on their heads!

"Ha! A group of stupid people who are not smart enough"

Ticarlo gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"What? Ticarlo, what are you talking about?"

The old militia touched his hair and looked at Ticarlo carefully, with suspicion in his eyes. When they came here, they were completely out of the influence of the Mexica Alliance. The ospreys of the Silver Crow tribe no longer knew the way back. Going east, they would reach the Mayan states. The Mayan merchant Ticarlo was their only guide during their voyage, guiding them every time they set sail and anchored. In this place far away from the alliance and with an unpredictable future, he must keep a close eye on this cunning merchant!

"Uh"

Tikalo lowered his head slightly to avoid the sight of the old militia. Facing this old captain with a keen sense of smell, he was inexplicably a little scared, and the calculations he had been planning for a long time in his mind also hesitated. After a few breaths, he raised his head with a sincere smile on his face.

"Respected Captain Chihuaco! This Hidden Snake City has a history of more than a thousand years. It is the center of the city-state ruins of the Olmec ancestors! Here, as long as you have a keen enough sense of smell, you will have a great chance to obtain the unique divine objects left by the ancient ancestors!"
