"Pah, pah, pah—"

With the clear sound of flapping wings, countless black phantom butterflies emitting blue fluorescence flew up in the dark underground space.

The silver-haired investigator was startled, holding his Polaroid camera and sitting on the ground.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Behind the investigator, an old man hurried over holding a cane.

He wore a full-coverage closed mask on his face, a dim flashlight on his forehead, and a breathing tube on the back of his neck connected to the oxygen tank on his back, making his image look a bit scary.

But the silver-haired investigator herself was also dressed like this, so she patted the mud off her waterproof pants and stood up with a bound:

"It's okay. I was shocked by "Deep Cave Phantom Tail Butterfly". Teacher, are you okay? We have walked almost thirty kilometers underground... When will we arrive at our destination?"

The girl shook off the Polaroid photo in her hand, looked at the butterfly displayed on it, and inserted it into her coat pocket with some satisfaction.

"'Cave Phantom Tail Butterfly'... you still like to name them so much."

The old man nodded and turned to look at the expedition team behind him:

"You guys are too lacking in training! Are four or five grown men not as good as your little junior sister?"

"My junior sister is the third runner-up in the school's 800-meter swimming event. Who can compete with her?"

"I think if her bust size was smaller, it wouldn't be surprising if she won the championship..."

Several panting male investigators were whispering and operating all-terrain vehicles, also wearing full-coverage closed masks on their faces.

The girl deliberately pretended not to hear them and said hello to the old man:

"Then I will continue to the front to check the situation."

After saying that, he jumped away and ran away.

The old man was left holding out his hands in vain behind her:

"Hey! This is more than a thousand meters underground! Aren't you scared?!"

The girl walked around to the back of the rock where the old man and others could not see, stuck out her tongue at them and made a face.

Then follow the rock paintings carved with ocher in the cave and continue walking deeper into the tunnel.

"I don't know who painted these murals..."

The girl was thinking while looking up at the rock paintings with her camera.

She flicked the imaging film in her hand, then put the ones she was satisfied with into her left pocket and the ones she was not satisfied with into her right pocket.

The girl just walked like this, taking pictures of the magical scenes along the way.

There are all kinds of creatures here, including transparent mantises and snow-white dragonflies. It's like a huge underground insect kingdom, but there are no plants that can feed them.

As the girl walked, she waited for the expedition team behind her.

Because there was a lot of luggage, they couldn't get up quickly.

This cave exploration more than a thousand meters underground in Antarctica has lasted for almost two weeks, and they still have not found the owners of these rock paintings and magical creatures.

The morale of the expedition team became very low.

There is no internet, no sky in sight, and nothing to entertain you except endless darkness and rocks.

He even finished reading "Anna Catalina" that one of the senior brothers brought in specially——

You know, it took him about half a year to read the first fifty pages alone, and he had already finished reading it in the second week after entering the grotto.

Now he's watching it for the second time, and still regrets why he didn't bring "War and Peace" with him.

While the girl was snickering and thinking about the anecdotes about the expedition, she aimed at a flying blue bee and pressed the shutter.

Compared with other people in the cave exploration team, the girl's mentality is relatively optimistic.

Because she originally liked the various magical insects in the cave, and the ocher murals, although simple and rough, could be regarded as a long narrative poem.

In addition, before entering the cave, she prepared a large number of Polaroids in order to leave sufficient information for the expedition team.

This made her the only person who felt that she had gained a lot from this expedition.

Even her teacher felt that their underground trip was just a waste of time——

After all, what they need is not an all-terrain off-road vehicle, but a small helicopter!

The girl thought about the teacher's complaint during the meal the night before yesterday, and strode deeper into the cave with steps as if she didn't recognize her relatives.

However, in the next second, her foot slipped and she suddenly rolled into a piece of light blue moss.

"What's going on...Why did this place suddenly sink..."

The girl rubbed her waist in pain, then raised her head and was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Because in the center of a dim space covered with blue mushrooms and fluorescent moss, an underground building larger than the Pyramid of Khufu is standing there shockingly!

The girl found the portable laser pointer and after a simple calculation, she realized that it was more than 400 meters high!

"The Pyramid of Khufu is only 146.59 meters long...what the hell is going on..."

The girl retrieved the pyramid information with the help of the external hacker brain, looked at the majestic underground building in front of her, and suddenly shuddered——

Because she realized that she had discovered a real prehistoric civilization!

This means that the entire history of human civilization will be rewritten by their discoveries!

However, until this moment, this talented girl, who was only 16 years old at this time, had not realized that it was not just the history of mankind that had been rewritten by them -

And now.

And the future far, far away.
