If my thinking is correct, then these *Protococcus pluvialis*, which survived the mass extinction without knowing how, will bring about a new reshuffling of species in this land.

As members of the primate family, we are naturally not immune to this fate, and may even face the risk of being eliminated.

This incident made me feel a sense of crisis, and I had to try to gather as much information as possible, no matter what.

While the high priest and the others were still discussing something in front of the mural, I went to the mural the high priest was pointing to and made a gesture to the two of them indicating that I also wanted to know the information in it.

The high priest and the others didn't seem to have anything to hide. When they saw that I wanted to know what was going on inside, the high priest frowned as he looked at my face.

It's not that the high priest didn't want to talk to me about these things; it's simply because we don't speak the same language, so he couldn't communicate with me.

However, the young indigenous man beside me had more methods than the high priest. Although he couldn't tell me all the information, he could point out some related things in the murals for me to refer to.

The young indigenous man pointed to the mural, and I stared in astonishment at it, momentarily speechless.

Because the place the young natives were referring to was the humanoid creature they called a "demon".

I never imagined that this Protocerasifera would be related to the most dangerous creature in this land.

However, I have no idea what kind of relationship these two seemingly disparate species could have.

Judging from its appearance, that humanoid creature was not a simple insect, and it would be impossible for it to evolve its body shape by using high concentrations of oxygen.

It wasn't until later that I had a real eye-opener and realized how recklessly and insanely these humanoid creatures utilized the Protocerasifera. No wonder these natives listed them as the most dangerous animals in the area, bar none.

In the days that followed, I saw that both the high priest and the tribal chief looked preoccupied.

Meanwhile, more and more infrastructure was built around the cave in the tribe, and the indigenous people built earthen walls made of stones mixed with mud and grass along the cave.

Looking at these earthen walls, it's as if they're defending something, or perhaps preparing for a war.

Every time I asked the young indigenous man a question, he would just point to the humanoid figures in the murals and shout, "Hanu, Hanu..."

Later, I learned from the young indigenous people that what their tribe called Hanu meant "a demon in fur."

However, as I learned more about the information in those murals, I discovered that these indigenous people had allied with another group of blue-bodied indigenous people and had several tribal conflicts with the Hanu they referred to.

However, the murals depict severe casualties on both sides. After a great battle, those demonic beings were driven away to a place far from us.

The image uses a positive and negative perspective to indicate that the direction is the western region that the tribe has always feared.

The next scene shows some remaining Hanu tribes scattered in the eastern region. What surprised me even more, however, was that these people actually knew how to cultivate crops.

Moreover, they always plant only one thing in the picture, which is the Protocerasifera that the high priest refers to.

I don't know why they are so insistent on cultivating these *Protoplastrus orbiculatus*. The only scene in the footage shows the indigenous people burning these *Protoplastrus orbiculatus* together, indicating that the indigenous people are well aware of the extent of the harm this thing can cause.

However, I know that if there are *Prosopa spp.* on this land, it is impossible to eradicate them by human effort alone.

Even if you burn it, it will only damage the ground-level fruiting body of the Prosocephala, at most temporarily preventing it from converting and synthesizing oxygen.

However, the underground fungal system is already so complex that it is impossible to eradicate it.

Fungi grow faster than trees, and large fruiting bodies can grow in just a few days.

However, I quickly discovered why these protozoa couldn't proliferate: they encountered a creature that was also very difficult to eradicate.

And they are happy to expend energy destroying these protozoa, which also allows their population to grow rapidly.

This creature is also the only species depicted in the murals using white pigment, indicating that it was an important means of controlling Protoceras rubrum for the indigenous people.

The image shows an introduction to this small, social creature. Looking at the two contrasting images, I roughly guessed what it was.

The image shows a *Prosopa spp.* and an ordinary tree. The ordinary tree is covered with a layer of mud, and white ant-like creatures are slowly gnawing at it.

That layer of soil is where they made their nests. On the same Protoplastia, the nests made of soil are significantly larger, and there are more ants on the Protoplastia in the picture.

Furthermore, these Protocerasifera were deliberately drawn at an angle, as if they were about to be crushed by their own weight.

I know the indigenous people wouldn't draw it like that for no reason; they probably wanted to express that these ants have the ability to destroy Protoplastia.

Based on the nest marks on the tree, I feel it is very likely the work of termites.

Termites are also a major threat to tree growth in nature. Due to the queen's super reproductive ability, she can lay 30,000 to 40,000 eggs a day.

Within days, they can grow into a colony that poses a significant threat to trees. When the termites swarm, thousands upon thousands of pairs of termites reform into new family units.

If there were no natural predators such as anteaters to limit their growth rate, they would multiply exponentially at a terrifying rate.

I think the reproduction rate of these termites can keep up with the growth rate of the fruiting bodies of *Prorocentrum sylvestris*.

The mural suggests that termites seem to prefer the porous structure of *Protoplastrus orientalis*, perhaps because the porous structure makes it easier for them to build nests.

If that's the case, termites could indeed be a suppressive organism against Protoplastia. This explains why we haven't seen a Protoplastia infestation here.

At the end of these murals, I learned that these two tribes, who were once allied, split into two groups to suppress the demons known as Hanu.

The stronger Blue tribe went to the western forests to guard the remnants of the Hanu who had been driven there.

To the east where I am, the current indigenous tribe is dealing with the remaining Hanu remnants, and they also have a mission to welcome a person from heaven.

The later scenes did contain some divination information similar to Mayan prophecies, but these murals still shocked me.
