Beast Temple

The babies babbled and laughed.

Anthony said softly, "In three months, their fish tails will turn into legs, and then they will be able to walk."

Anita's mind conjured up that scene, and she whispered, "That's so cute."

Anthony chuckled, "Just don't be too naughty."

So as not to disturb Anrita's rest.

Mermaid babies are naturally strong, but unfortunately their fertility rate is extremely low, otherwise the mermaid clan would have dominated the ocean long ago.

Anrita was reluctant to put the baby down until Valuya was worried that she would be tired, so she carefully took the child over.

As Anita ate the spiritual fruit and looked at the dilapidated castle in front of her, she suddenly remembered the note she had picked up earlier and said, "Let's go in and take a look before we leave."

She always felt that this place was more like a research institute than a Beast Temple.

She looked at Anthony and said, "I want to go inside the castle and take a look. Is that okay?"

Cody had been in briefly before, but had to leave in a hurry because Anrita was about to give birth, so he didn't know what was going on inside.

Hearing Anrita's proposal, he immediately agreed: "Of course! I'll go with you."

Knox also stood up and stood silently beside Anrita: "I'll come too."

A warm feeling welled up in Anrita's heart.

The partners she chose are so caring. They not only take care of her, but also treat the baby as their own. It’s great that the family is united and harmonious.

She smiled and said, "Then let Knox and Cody go in with me. Anthony, Valua, and Gal, please look after the baby."

Seeing the worried expressions on her male companions' faces, she reassured them, "Don't worry, we'll be out soon, and they'll protect me."

The three of them nodded reluctantly.

Everyone stood outside the castle and watched Anrita and the other two go in.

Anthony warned, "Be very careful and don't touch anything inside. This house is not very stable. If you feel anything strange, leave immediately."

Anita agreed and entered the castle with Cody and Knox.

Cody walked in front, his steps slow and light, glancing around cautiously:

"I've been here before. This house is very fragile. Look at the wall. There are so many cracks on it that it looks like a spider web."

Anita followed behind, looking around: "After all, it's very old. If it weren't for the vines wrapped around the outer wall, it would have collapsed long ago."

It is considered sturdy as it can still stand today.

Knox followed closely behind like a loyal guard, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, ready to respond to danger at any time.

The three of them entered the hall smoothly, and the scene before them was much "cleaner" than expected:

The rotten tables and chairs were placed silently; the closet doors were half-open, and the inside was empty; the walls and the floor were covered with moss, and the musty smell was pungent.

The entire castle was filled with a damp and decaying smell, but it did not deter the three people. Instead, it aroused their desire to explore.

The castle appears to have about three floors, and it is unknown whether there is a basement. No one plans to investigate further for the time being.

Upon closer inspection, this place looks more like an abandoned luxury villa. Time has faded its glory, leaving only devastation.

Anita and Cody looked at the rotten stairs and tacitly gave up the idea of ​​going upstairs.

Anita stepped on the slippery moss and subconsciously walked towards a room.

Cody quickly reached out to stop him: "An An, follow me. Don't go into any place I haven't checked without permission."

After saying that, he stepped into the room first.

Anita chuckled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I was too impatient just now."

Knox approached and whispered, "The ground is dirty. Can I carry you?"

Anita shook her head and frowned suddenly: "Knox, I always feel like this place looks familiar..."

Did she forget something?

Knox looked around and said in a deep voice, "Something is definitely wrong. This place doesn't look like the old temple site, but more like some research institute. There are even abandoned instruments here."

This reminded him of the abandoned research institute left behind by the former leader of the pirate group. The interior furnishings were quite similar to this place, except that the instruments were more advanced and complex, and there were many human tissues soaked in unknown liquids, and the broken limbs and debris were particularly terrifying.

He secretly looked around, fearing that there might be similar objects here that would scare Anrita.

Although Cody and Knox do not understand scientific research, they are aware that these old items are risky and may carry viruses.

Alarm bells rang in the two of them, and they stood in front of Anrita at the same time.

She must never be allowed to come into contact with anything dangerous.

Valua stepped into the room and took a look around, then quickly turned back and called out to Anrita: "Anrita, you can come in now. Does this look like a study?"

Only then did Anita walk in with Knox.

The furnishings in the house did look like a study, but the original bookcases and desks had long since rotted and broken, and lush vines had climbed in from the window, breaking the glass and occupying the entire space.

Under the shade of lush vines, the ground is covered with yellowed, old books and scattered manuscripts.

Anita walked forward, picked up a few pages of well-preserved paper, and looked at them carefully. She found that the words on them were exactly the same as those on Earth!

This is not the text of the Orc world!

Anita was astonished: "Knox, do you recognize these words?"

She handed the paper to Knox to examine.

Knox and Cody leaned in to decipher the blurred handwriting on the paper. When they looked at each other, they could see confusion in each other's eyes.

Knox shook his head: "I don't know him."

Cody was even more astonished: "Could this belong to some vanished interstellar civilization?"

Cody's speculation is not unreasonable. After all, before the Starlink was connected, there were countless civilizations in various galaxies.

At that time, interstellar wars were frequent, and major civilizations fought for territory. Every year, countless civilizations fell and disappeared forever in the vast river of the universe.

Anita originally thought that she had traveled to a different time and space, but now she realized that the universe was still the universe in her memory, but she had come to an extremely distant future.

It seems that humans have disappeared without a trace, and the surviving civilizations signed the "Interstellar Alliance Peace Treaty" and lived in peace with the main star as the center.

When she checked Starlink before, she knew for sure that there was no record of Earth and pure humans no longer existed.

Anrita collected all the documents that were not completely destroyed, intending to take them back for careful study, but the number left was limited, only a few dozen pages at most.

She carefully picked up the pages one by one and looked at them. Knox and Cody were both surprised when they saw this.

Cody asked in a low voice: "An An, can you understand these words?"

Anita didn't intend to hide it and nodded in response: "Yes, I can understand."

Anrita is currently an orphan without parents. She grew up in the White Tower as a precious female. There is not even any information about her parents in the White Tower.

So when she said she knew these words, Cody and others' first reaction was that her parents must be researchers of interstellar history.

There are experts in the field of interstellar history who study alien civilizations. Perhaps Anrita has come into contact with relevant knowledge?

Knox hesitated and said, "If this is the Beast God Temple, could these be the relics left by the Beast God?"

Cody had already walked around the castle several times at this time, and because Anrita knew these words, how could he still believe that this was the ruins of the Beast God?

He laughed and teased, "If that's the case, then wouldn't our An An be a descendant of the Beast God? An An, do you have a connection with the Beast God?"

Otherwise, how would you recognize the words here?

Anita: "..."

Knox looked at her in surprise: "An An, take a look at these words, what do they say?"

Anrita flipped through the file and pieced together the information, saying, "The content seems to be related to genetic research."

She stared at the handwriting to identify it, and suddenly her voice paused and her face changed slightly.
