Chapter 1820 EP1821. About another vibranium mine (Part 2)

"You're right, it's related to the extinct Mayans."

Giving a thumbs up to Stark, Shi Xiaolei continued: "Aren't there still people discussing how the Mayan civilization was destroyed? Some people say that it was the massacre by the Spanish that caused the demise of the Mayan civilization. Some people say that the main reason is that the Mayan civilization was destroyed. The reason lies in the various viruses brought by the Spanish. It is because the Mayans living in Central and South America have never encountered those viruses and do not have the antibodies and genes to resist the viruses in their bodies, so they were brought by the Spaniards. The virus was taken away in one wave, leaving behind the historical mystery of 'suddenly disappearing overnight'."

Knowing that Shi Xiaolei had more to say, Stark just nodded and did not interrupt his story.

"Actually, the Mayans were not completely extinct. To this day, there are still a group of descendants of the Mayans living in the depths of the sea." Looking at Stark and then at Skye, Shi Xiaolei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, very sure. He continued: "Yes, they all live in the sea, and their bodies have mutated, and they no longer look like ordinary humans."

"Mermaid?" Skye was so curious that she couldn't help but ask.

"If you are referring to the existence in the legend that has an upper body like a human being but a lower body like a fish tail..." Shi Xiaolei smiled and shook his head: "Unfortunately, the changes that appeared on them are not as you imagined. big."

"Hmm...then what have they become?" After thinking about it, Skye continued to ask: "Like me, I look the same as ordinary people, but do I just have super powers?"

"From a certain perspective, what you said is correct." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "They all have the ability to breathe underwater. Compared with ordinary people, this can be regarded as a special ability."

"If I'm not wrong, they can only breathe in water and cannot breathe air directly like ordinary people, right?" Although the sentence pattern is a question, the tone of Stark's words is full of certainty.

"How did you guess it?" Thinking 'I haven't said anything yet', Shi Xiaolei looked at Stark in surprise.

"The reason is simple. If they can breathe on land, there is no need to hide in the depths of the sea." Stark spread his hands and shrugged: "No matter how good ordinary people are at swimming, they will not be like them. Opponents. After all, they have become like amphibious creatures, and are naturally much more powerful than ordinary people. With this ability, they can not only protect themselves well, but also live more nourishingly than ordinary people. After all, why should they hide in the depths of the sea while waiting for the more comfortable land?”

At this point, Stark raised his finger and pointed at Skye: "There are many ready-made examples among the Inhumans. I am referring to those who awaken their own powers and then pretend to be ordinary people and live in society. Those are very good people. If they weren't tortured by loneliness on a psychological level and wanted to be with compatriots in similar situations... To be honest, I don't think they would take the initiative to join the afterlife. And based on their previous life experiences. It seems that they don’t have to join the afterlife in order to live a different life, right?”

Following Stark's words, he thought about it for a moment.

"Indeed." Shi Xiaolei nodded first, and then said with a smile: "You are right, not being able to live on land as before the mutation was the key reason why they hid in the depths of the sea. In addition, they The change in skin color is very eye-catching among ordinary people and is also one of the decisive factors.”

"Skin color has changed?" Stark smacked his lips and laughed twice: "Well, this is a bit unexpected. To be honest, I really didn't expect it."

"Except for the leader with the most special destiny, everyone else's skin color has turned light blue." As he spoke, he glanced left and right. When he found a reference object with a similar color, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and pointed: "Here, it's similar to the cover of that book, just one or two colors darker."

Turning his head and taking a glance, Stark had a more intuitive image in his mind.

"Then what?" Still wanting to know more, Stark asked: "Are there any other differences? By the way, what you just said was 'except for their leader', that is to say, their The leader didn’t turn into a little blue man?”

"Yes." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei continued: "I don't know exactly what happened. But based on the known clues, I can probably guess something. If I am not wrong, he So it's different because he didn't directly drink the herb that induced the mutation."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"At the beginning, it seemed that his mother was infected with the virus when she was pregnant with him, and then in order to cure her disease and allow him to be born smoothly, his mother drank the herbal medicine." While trying to recall the time he saw it, Shi Xiaolei said in an uncertain tone while watching the film review video.

"Then what?" Because Shi Xiaolei's speaking speed also slowed down, the impatient Skye couldn't help but ask again.

"Then? Then his mother mutated." Looking at Skye, Shi Xiaolei smiled: "They were on the verge of extinction at that time. For the Mayans in that situation, the mutation that happened to his mother Then, in order to avoid being killed by the Spaniards, the remaining people took the herb, abandoned their original homes, and dived into the sea together. "

"So that's it." Stark took over the conversation again and confirmed to Shi Xiaolei: "Everyone else drank it directly, but he was the only one who was indirectly affected by the herbal medicine. Well... no wonder the changes in his body are so... She is smaller than others, but her skin color remains the same as that of normal people.”

"The change in skin color is not as good as that of others." After hearing this, Shi Xiaolei immediately clarified: "In terms of other changes, he far exceeds those of others. I mean those who took the herbal medicine directly. Everybody.”

"Um?"

"He is much stronger than others, and has a pair of small wings on each ankle of his feet. Although it is only about the size of a palm, he can flap these two pairs of wings to make himself fly. In addition, his lifespan It's also much longer than the others." At this point, Shi Xiaolei made a special point: "Don't forget that when his mother gave birth to him, the virus brought by the Spanish was still raging everywhere. He has lived until now, and he is already over 500 years old. However, the other tribesmen living with him have been passed down for several generations, and they are no longer the same group that fled into the sea with his mother. "

"More than five hundred years old..." After waking up, Stark couldn't help but smacked his lips again: "This number alone is already starting to give me a headache."
