Chapter 384: Advanced and backward



An hour ago.

The feathered serpent god Kukulkan rises on the wind.

His emerald wings slashed through the air, creating bursts of thunder as he flapped his wings.

However, due to the raging rainstorm, the Mayan people could not tell whether the thunder was caused by the feathered serpent god Kukulkan flapping his wings or by the rainstorm.

And it doesn't matter anymore.

"I will personally ask the Holy Pharaoh of Holy Egypt to lend a helping hand to his ally, Maya."

"Otherwise, half of the 'jungle' will be destroyed."

"The Mayan Kingdom has just recovered from the war. If it is damaged by this disaster again, there will be no place for the Mayan Kingdom to stand on this continent."

"I will immediately go to Holy Egypt to seek the help of Holy Pharaoh."

The Mayan people in the rainforest pyramid passage crouched down. At this moment, the feathered serpent god Kukulkan became their only hope.

After all, for these tribes living in the rainforest, they are helpless in the face of such natural disasters.

After all, they find it difficult to respond effectively due to the limitations of their living environment and technology.

Their houses are mostly built with wood and large leaves, so in such extreme weather, the houses are prone to collapse and cannot prevent flooding.

Moreover, they did not master the technology of digging canals to drain water, which caused floods to accumulate and submerge fields and various places.

Not only that, the Mayans' tools were relatively simple, and their stone and wooden tools could not quickly repair damaged facilities.

When faced with mudslides or fallen trees, cleaning up is time-consuming and laborious. If the disaster intensifies, it will directly lead to the paralysis of the village.

Most importantly, rainforest crops are perishable, and the Maya's grain storage technology is relatively backward compared to that of Holy Egypt.

Therefore, after the flood destroyed the fields, food was in short supply and the people were prone to famine.

These restrictions forced the Mayans to offer sacrifices and pray to the gods when faced with such natural disasters.

And when praying to God is in vain, the tribesmen will easily fall into chaos.

If there had been no external intervention, just this one natural disaster would have caused great losses to the Maya.

That's not just materially, it's demographically as well.

It even directly affected the national strength.

Therefore, the Mayan lord Bigtik chose to summon the feathered serpent god Kukulkan and go to the capital of Holy Egypt in person.

Cairo city.

He flew from the Mayan jungle, across the desert, and finally, arrived over the city of Cairo.

The rain here is also heavy, but at least you can see the ground clearly.

At this time, he looked down.

He originally thought that there might be chaos in Cairo as well.

Especially near the "miracle", when he came last time, it was crowded with people.

However, the familiar scene made him suddenly pause.

Cairo has changed.

Completely and totally changed.

The houses in Cairo are spread out like a chessboard.

The streets are wide and paved with cobblestones throughout the city.

The houses were no longer made of mud bricks and thatched roofs, but had solid slate roofs.

The feathered serpent god Kukulkan's wings slowed down and his snake pupils narrowed slightly.

He remembered that the last time he came here, the roads in Cairo were not all paved with cobblestones.

Such roads were only paved near the royal capital, near the center of the city.

Moreover, in the area close to the city wall and a little further away from the palace, there are many roofs built with woven reeds.

But today, there is not a single house that is woven or built with reeds.

No!

The slate roof now seemed to be like a layer of armor covering the house, making it seem indestructible in the face of such a natural disaster.

Moreover, the streets of Holy Egypt were washed clean by the rain, and the canals also diverted the rain water away, so there was no flooding anywhere in the city.

He looked at the scene below, and his chest tightened as he recalled what he had seen in Maya.

In Maya, heavy rain was like the sky falling, and rainwater poured directly into the cracks of the stone steps of the rainforest pyramid.

The trees in the jungle fell one after another, and the broken roots and branches rose and fell in the mud and water.

Half of the houses in the village collapsed and the mud bags used for flood prevention were washed away.

Corn fields were flooded and puddles formed everywhere.

The Mayan tribesmen screamed and ran, splashing mud everywhere. Even the priests' blood sacrifice was of no use, as the "Mother of the Jungle" could not hear their calls at all.

Compared with Cairo, Maya was like hell on earth.

What his people have to consider now is how to survive.

Looking at Cairo again, it is completely different.

It was rare to see civilians of Holy Egypt walking on the streets, but Kukulkan, the Quetzalcoatl, could see many soldiers of Holy Egypt patrolling in the rain.

There were only soldiers, no civilians.

Moreover, his divine eyes could see that the civilians in Cairo were sharing food in the houses, and some were even roasting fires in the sheltered areas.

Those people were talking and laughing, as if this was just an ordinary rainy day to them.

The contrast was so stark that the feathered serpent god Kukulkan almost forgot to flap his wings.

"How did Cairo become like this?!"

"Could it be that the Holy Pharaoh has performed another 'miracle'?"

After all, the abilities of the Holy Pharaoh were already well known to everyone and allies of Holy Egypt.

Kukulkan hovered over the temple, gazing at those "miracles".

He found that those places that were once crowded with people were now deserted.

There were no corpses, no horrible sights, and all kinds of things were carried away by the rain.

Looking at the scene below, he couldn't help but admire the good governance of the holy pharaoh.

"Who exactly is this Holy Pharaoh?"

"It's only been a short time since I left Cairo, and yet this place has been turned into this state!"

But when he thought of this, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly.

Holy Egypt is so powerful now...

But would they still take Kukulkan, the feathered serpent god, seriously?

To Holy Egypt, this seemed like just an ordinary downpour.

But it was a devastating disaster for the Mayan Kingdom.

"The gap between our two countries is so huge, how can I ask the Holy Pharaoh for help?"

He realized that the Holy Pharaoh could have simply refused to help him.

After all, he had come to talk to the Holy Pharaoh last time because the Holy Pharaoh built a city too close to Maya.

ā€œI’m so short-sighted!ā€

"With such a powerful ally, what would it matter if he built a city next to it?"

"The Holy Pharaoh even offered to give me half of the profits from the cocoa beans..."

"That's right, half the profit."

The eyes of the Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan lit up, and he thought that he could use this as a condition for the Holy Pharaoh to provide him with help.

But on second thought, he felt that this seemed inappropriate.

No matter what I do, I can't seem to come up with a reason for Saint Egypt to help me!

He was just feeling distressed when suddenly a golden light flashed around him.

"Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan."

"What brings you to Cairo?"
