Spellcasting Heavens

After more than an hour, the manic sea finally calmed down and returned to its former calm and peacefulness.

Although no one was missing or dead, the sailors and divers on the two salvage vessels were still so frightened that many even began to regret taking on the dangerous job.

However, due to the deterrence of the fully armed combat team, there is no sign of trying to return to the voyage in violation of the contract for the time being.

For this small offense that had no practical effect, Zhang Cheng very generously chose to turn a blind eye and focused all his attention on the statue in his hand.

There is no doubt that what this thing sculpts is not a human being, but a special image with a snake in the lower body and a woman in the upper body.

I saw a golden crown decorated with feathers on her head, and exquisite rings on her feet. One of her hands held a weapon like a shorthair or a javelin, and the other hand held a peculiarly shaped sacrificial dagger, inlaid. The gems in the eye sockets seem to have souls, constantly flashing strange luster.

Obviously, this is a typical Inca statue, but it is not known which god or powerful sacrifice it is dedicated to.

After all, as an extension of primitive religious beliefs, both South American and North American Indians have animistic traditions and habits. For example, when they see a mountain, they think there is a mountain god, when they see a lake, they think there is a lake god, and when they see rain, they think there is a mountain god. The water god, seeing the salt will make people think there is a salt god...

In short, any great power that cannot be explained by common sense will have a god as a spiritual sustenance to worship, even beasts are no exception.

Under this kind of animist belief system, it can be said that there are far more gods in the entire American continent than anywhere in the world, but most of them are the third type of gods who can't get on the table, and they are not even as powerful as masters. Humans with supernatural powers.

Plenty of these gods were killed back when the European Parliament invaded the land, so nothing to be surprised about.

What's really interesting is that this statue actually contains a very powerful energy that can manipulate and change the surrounding force field.

This also means that the god behind the statue did not die, either fell into a deep sleep, or was still alive in a certain corner of the rainforest, and had a large number of devout followers.

Interesting... Could this be the legendary goddess of the Musca people, Bachue? Zhang Cheng touched his chin and said to himself with interest.

Between the relevant records of the entire Inca civilization and mythology, it was devastated by the Spanish colonists, so he did not know how many gods there were in the Inca mythology, which ones declined a long time ago, and which ones It has continued to this day.

The only certainty is that the storm mentioned in the voyage diary is probably not a real storm, but a terrible disaster caused by this idol.

Hey! What do you have in your hand? A treasure from a sunken ship?

Mansa, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, clearly noticed the statue, hurriedly picked up tools such as a magnifying glass, and approached to observe carefully.

Zhang Cheng didn't mean to hide, and nodded lightly: Yes! I found it in the body of a strange fish near the sunken ship. You may not believe it. After swallowing the statue, the strange fish seems to have obtained A very powerful super power that can release the energy position to force the enemy away. I have seen with my own eyes, a king squid nearly 40 meters long was torn to shreds.”

What?! You encountered such a terrifying monster,

Still alive? Mansha raised her head, her eyes widened in surprise.

Don't make such a fuss! You have to understand that I am not an ordinary person, and many monsters that are invincible in the eyes of ordinary people are completely harmless to me. Especially such beasts with low IQ, only need one or two spiritual magic. You can easily control them. By the way, do you have any valuable findings about this statue? Or, to put it another way, can you help me confirm who she really is? Zhang Cheng pointed to the statue, his eyes showing anticipation eyes.

One of the reasons he decided to hire the young girl in front of him was because of the rich archaeological knowledge in her mind.

Wait! Give me some time!

Holding a magnifying glass, Mansa carefully inspected the gold ornaments on the statue's ankles, as well as the situation of the carvings on the headgear.

After a full seven or eight minutes, she explained in an uncertain tone: This statue should be about 800 to 1,000 years ago, an ancient religious symbol from the time when the Inca Empire was just established, and the exact age needs to be determined to know. Because it was only in that period that the Incas would use stone to make such small statues, and these gold jewelry, headdresses and weapons were added later. As you can see, they are completely two styles of things. Plus, According to recent archaeological research, the Inca Empire began to use gold, silver and other precious metals to reshape the image of the gods from around the 13th century, and the difference between the former and the former is very obvious...

You should know that what I want to know is not the boring archaeological history, but to know who this statue is. Zhang Cheng interrupted impatiently.

As a pragmatist, he didn't care about the rise and fall of the extinct Inca Empire, only the information that was useful to him.

Sorry! Inca mythology is very confusing. In addition to some gods that Indians generally believe in, there are many unique gods, and their images will change with the times. I need to ask some experts in this area to give you satisfaction. The answer. Mansha shrugged helplessly.

no way!

Although the history of human civilization is only a few thousand years after the end of the earth-shattering war in ancient times, it has produced countless branches, and even the world's top archaeology professors cannot be proficient in the history of all regions.

Usually, the focus is on selective research.

And unfortunately, American Indian civilization is precisely the one that Mansa is least good at...

Looking at the innocent expression of the girl, Zhang Cheng sighed helplessly: Hey, okay. I'll give you three days to use the satellite network on the ship to get in touch with the so-called experts you know as quickly as possible, when necessary. Give me direct money.

Understood! I swear that I will give you a satisfactory answer in three days. Mansha promised.

I hope so. Yelena, notify the two salvage ships that the salvage operation will start tomorrow. First, bring up all the damage to the ship that was found, and directly activate the robotic arm in the bottom cabin of the yacht. Zhang Cheng instructed without turning his head.

Yes! Boss! I'll send someone to watch them!

Yelena, who also came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

Although the bump an hour ago made her spit out the contents of her stomach, and her face is still very ugly, she has always been meticulous in executing orders, and her eyes have never left the surveillance cameras on the electronic screen.
