After taking care of the mutated animals blocking the way, they rushed to the altar.
The mutated animal carcasses all over the ground are filled with money.
Shi Lingyao left, leaving behind a pile of vines that shuttled among the corpses on their own. The sharp tips pierced the heads of the mutated animals, deftly drawing out the mysterious crystals inside, and collecting them all.
They didn't dare to delay, fearing that the next wave of mutated animals would block the way, so they ran all the way holding torches.
A vine hooked a small net bag, and inside was a pile of bloody Xuan Crystals that exuded a foul odor.
He Xixu's eyes widened when he saw it. He didn't care about these mysterious crystals, he simply wanted to find trouble: "You didn't handle these things by yourself, so why did you take the mysterious crystals by yourself?"
She looked innocent: "You want it? But you didn't take it? Then I'll assume that you don't need it."
While he was talking, everyone had already arrived at the foot of the altar.
He Xixu, who was here for the first time, didn't care to continue to find trouble with her. His attention was already attracted by the huge altar.
There are a total of two hundred steps. Standing at the foot of the altar and looking up, you can't see your head at a glance. The top of the high place is hidden in the bottomless darkness.
It seems that this altar leads to a strange and unknown underworld.
It is clearly an upward step, but it feels like jumping into an abyss.
He Xixu looked at the steps that reached the top and murmured to himself: "It feels like some kind of evil god worship..."
Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly: "I had the same guess when I saw it yesterday."
He Xixu turned to her and asked, "Did you go up there yesterday? What was there up there?"
Xiaoxiao's face was complicated, she nodded and said: "One eye."
He Xixu looked confused: "Ah?"
Xiaoxiao then described to him the simple pattern he saw on the altar.
He Xixu asked: "Is it that simple? Is there nothing else?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head.
Shi Lingyao was slowly walking around the altar to inspect.
This time, not only did her mind power penetrate deeply into the altar, but she was resurrected as she walked and spawned the dead branches surrounding the altar. The tiny vines that once again gave off greenery spread out, revealing the original appearance of the altar.
The entire altar is made of huge stones. A single stone is larger than the mutated tall yellow horse at home. It is difficult to imagine how the original craftsmen transported these huge stones, and Build an altar.
Such a huge and thick stone, you can't tell whether it is solid or hollow just by tapping it with your hands.
The last time we inspected it, we found that it was all built with huge rocks. This time the inspection still showed the same result.
Could it be that this is really just an altar?
"Otherwise we will go up and see..."
"boom"
Before she finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and the entire altar shook slightly, and gravel and dirt fell.
Before she could react, Jing Hexuan had already pulled her back, staggering and bumping into him.
The people standing around the altar immediately took a step back.
Another muffled sound.
She frowned and listened carefully: "It seems to be the sound coming from inside the altar."
But when I checked it repeatedly with my mind, the stones were densely packed and there was nothing there.
She didn't know what she thought of, but she was suddenly stunned and suddenly thought of something.
She judged that the buildings could block her mind, preventing her from sensing the whereabouts of mutated animals.
Then this altar will definitely do the same.
The same stone is used for these buildings and this altar.
That meant...there was something abnormal in this altar, but she couldn't detect it.
She told everyone her guess, and before everyone could react, there was a third muffled sound.
The vibrations under my feet were deeper, and gravel rolled down from the altar wall.
It seemed like a huge monster was trapped inside, struggling crazily inside with huge force, hitting the altar hard, and was about to break out of its shell.
He Dagui looked anxious, approached He Xixu, and reminded in a low voice: "General, why don't we retreat first? I don't know what's going to come out soon. We have such a small number..."
He Xixu glanced at Shi Lingyao and the others, who were wary but unyielding: "Even women are not afraid. I, the great general, backed down first. How can I have the face to call myself a general?"
As he spoke, he clenched the spear in his hand and advanced instead of retreating. He took two big steps forward and stood closest to the altar.
He Dagui said "Hey" and quickly followed.
Jing Hexuan also suggested to Shi Lingyao: "If we really can't find out what's inside, we should retreat first."
While he was talking, the vibrations inside the altar became more intense, the frequency of the muffled sounds increased, and each time it was heavier than the next, the vibrations on the ground under his feet never stopped, and he even became unsteady.
She keenly discovered that the impact sound was directed towards one place, and every time it sounded, it sounded at that location.
"Everyone spread out! Don't go near the right side!"
She reminded everyone loudly.
"boom!"
A huge boulder on the right made a clicking sound, and spiderweb-like cracks crawled onto the surface of the stone. Everyone immediately noticed this change and moved away from the boulder.
Another crash.
The boulder instantly fell apart, and large and small stones flew out and splashed everywhere.
Jing Hexuan took a step to the side and stood in front of Shi Lingyao.
He raised his hand and waved it, and the afterimage of the halberd danced in his hand, knocking away all the scattered rocks.
"Wow, Li Yue, you are too violent! I don't even know where this is. What if you let it collapse and crush us to death?"
As the boulder exploded, a familiar voice sounded.
Shi Baojian, who was on the white tiger's back, shouted: "Brother!"
Xiaoxiao looked blank: "Brother Lin?"
Lin Yan was also stunned. He saw the person in front of him clearly: "Boss? Doctor Shi! Why are you here?!"
Li Yue walked out from behind him, speechless: "Do you want to see where we are?"
The huge stone was smashed and exploded, and the rubble rolled to the ground. Under the illumination of several torches, it was clear that the surroundings were surrounded by floating dust.
The boulder is not one close to the ground, but one further up, which makes the gap seem like a window opening on the entire altar.
Lin Yan and others happened to be behind that window.
They were now behind a boulder higher than their chests and saw the scene outside.
Lin Yan jumped out holding the boulder and looked around: "We are actually inside the altar?!"
Others also came out one after another with him.
The three of them, Jiang Heng and Qin Ying, and nine of He Xixu's soldiers are all here.
Such a large group of people separated into two groups above the trap, but they didn't expect to meet again at the altar.
Shi Lingyao thought for a moment and asked, "Did you get through some small gap? How could a normal road lead to the inside of the altar?"
Lin Yan immediately cried out: "No, Doctor Shi! We really took the broad road."
It turned out that after they separated from Shi Lingyao and the others, they followed the direction she pointed and soon found a cave.
At first glance, the cave was dug by man, and there was a simple door panel standing at the entrance!
When they looked at it, they thought, isn't this the entrance? So they entered together and walked straight along the passage.
Immediately, I discovered that the terrain was going downwards all the way. After walking for a short time, I reached the end and it was a dead end.
Li Yue also used his earth element ability to check for a long time and confirmed that it was a dead end, but there was still space outside.
A few of them broke through the obstacles and went out, and debated for a long time whether they should go back the same way they came. Finally, they decided to take the risk and break through the obstacles.
Who would have imagined that as soon as they came out, they discovered that the so-called end of the dead end was actually the inside of the altar.
