The back mountain is neither high nor big. After crossing the mountain peak, you can see a valley. However, the villagers only move around the back mountain and never cross the valley because there are many ferocious and large beasts over there.
There is a small stream in the valley. In the wild, where there is a water source, there are often wild beasts.
The stream meanders down the mountain, and the vegetation on both sides is particularly lush, but something happens to break the harmony of the green mountains and green water.
Among the lush mountains and forests, a building with a different style is particularly eye-catching. It is located next to the stream, and it is as inconsistent as a Western dragon appearing in the traditional Chinese painting landscape.
The building body is in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, with a small top and a large bottom. One side has steps leading from the bottom to the upper platform. Gargoyles are carved on the four corners of the upper platform, and three giant stone statues stand in the middle area.
This shape reminded Wei Feng of buildings such as altars or altars in certain games.
It appeared more than two months ago. Wei Feng was sure of this, but how it appeared was unknown to Wei Feng. He could only speculate that something incredible happened between the two rains at the end of March. Such a building will rise overnight.
That was also the first time Wei Feng realized that this might not be an ordinary quasi-ancient world.
But more than two months have passed today, and Wei Feng has not been able to go there to find out what is going on. This is because wolves, wild boars, bears, leopards, etc. are all hiding in the valley, and their movement trajectories are not easy to predict, let alone the timing. When a tiger appears, he is well aware of the terror of the King of the Mountain and Forest, and will never go there rashly without being sure of his safe return.
That is to say, these beasts rarely appear in the back mountain, otherwise he would not even go to the back mountain easily.
If nothing unexpected happens, he expects to check it out in the winter, when food dwindles and animals head deeper into the mountains and he can minimize the risk.
But what makes an accident unexpected is its unpredictability. The forest was obviously not peaceful tonight.
The continuous light rain showed Wei Feng everything that happened near the altar. The beasts in the valley were disturbed by the battle and hid deeper in the mountain. Wei Feng took this opportunity to rush here quickly.
Not far from the altar, a young man dressed in short-sleeved clothes was holding a three-foot green blade, which emitted a glowing white light. The light would flash with each thrust.
The ones he fought against were the gargoyles at the four corners of the altar, or by their more familiar names, gargoyles.
Just like the unicorns, Pegasus, and Suan Ni carved on ancient roof ridges, gargoyles are sculptures used to decorate the mouths of water pipes in Western architecture.
Wei Feng knew this because his girlfriend, who studied architecture in his previous life, took him to review the history of foreign construction.
I just didn't expect that this gargoyle, which originally only existed in literary and artistic works, would actually appear in reality one day. At the same time, I was very lucky. Fortunately, this young man was a pioneer and tested out the gargoyle. Otherwise, he would have to wait until he went there in winter. , my life may have been handed down there.
Four gargoyles hovered in the air, taking turns to attack the young man holding the sword. The young man himself was not weak, and he was at an advantage in every confrontation. However, his opponent had the advantage in the air and had the initiative. The young man could not take the initiative to attack, so he could only Passive attack.
The four gargoyles took turns swooping down, attacking with such high frequency that the sword in the young man's hand had no time to stop. The young man could calmly deal with the attacking rhythm that seemed dizzying to ordinary people.
Every time the gargoyles launched an attack and were blocked by the young man, he would take the opportunity to strike, stab or chop the gargoyles hard with his long sword, leaving a deep sword mark on their stone bodies. .
Gradually, the gargoyles also discovered that the high-frequency attacks did not seem to be effective. They adjusted their offensive strategies and began to launch dive attacks on the young people two by two.
The young man originally just stood there waiting for an attack, but at this time the gargoyles gave up the wheel battle and started two against one. Since the sword only had one handle, he had to move and chose to avoid the scratch of one of the gargoyles and attack the other with all his strength. One.
In the hasty change of formation, although he was not injured, he was still in a hurry. Before he could reposition himself, the other two gargoyles had already swooped in.
However, the good education in the academy kept him calm, and he used his energy to move around under his feet to avoid this round of attacks, and bought himself some time to think.
He has been walking through the mountains and forests for some time, and he is a little tired both physically and mentally, and his energy is not particularly sufficient. Although he really wants to go to the top of that weird building to see what secrets are worth guarding by these strange beasts, but now the balance of the battle has tilted towards the opponent. It will only get worse if it continues, so it is better to retreat first.
The young man had a desire to retreat in his heart, and it naturally showed in his actions. As he moved around, he was already retreating away from the altar, gradually retreating into the forest.
The four gargoyles had no intention of letting him go, and were still hanging tightly behind him.
However, the young man holding the sword did not panic. After entering the forest, the gargoyles' air superiority was not that great. He would always have a chance to get rid of these strange beasts.
One person and four gargoyles were fighting and running, and the dim sky seemed to have no effect on them.
At this time, the sun had already set, and it was raining lightly, but there was a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Although the moonlight was bright, there was not much light that penetrated into the forest. It was barely completely dark. In the forest not far away, there was another young man who was not affected by the light and was also on his way.
Although Wei Feng grew up in a poor village, he could always get some meat every now and then, so he was already considered strong compared to his peers.
However, there is an age limit. Even if his living standard is higher, he is still a boy under seventeen years old. It will take several more years for his bone density and muscle strength to reach their peak, and his physical strength is also inferior to that of adults.
At this time, he was out of breath, and it was difficult to walk on the mountain road, not to mention the mountain road in the rain. That is, he was used to this kind of slippery muddy ground so that he could maintain a high speed.
Few villagers set foot in the valley area, so there was no ready-made road to walk on. He walked through the forest gaps as much as possible, but there were still some sections that needed to be overcome.
The embarrassment on his body could not hide the look in his eyes, especially after the sword-wielding young man left with the four gargoyles, his eyes lit up and he directly adjusted his direction.
Originally, he planned to go around in a circle and come to the back of the altar, but now the situation changed and he could go straight to the altar, which was an unexpected surprise.
Without having to take a detour, it only took Wei Feng about ten minutes to reach the foot of the altar. He climbed up the steps without hesitation.
In the rain, even though he was several miles away, he could clearly know that the young man holding the sword had been injured. He was still reluctant to face the siege of four gargoyles. Maybe he would be severely injured by the gargoyles if he made a mistake. Or killing him, no one can say how much time he can buy Wei Feng.
Wei Feng climbed onto the altar panting, and looked towards the center of the altar.
There is a protruding six-pointed star stone platform in the center, with three huge human-shaped statues standing at three diagonal corners of the stone platform.
The three statues have the same appearance, all wearing hoods. Strangely, Wei Feng stood under the statue and could not see the front face of the statue clearly when looking from the bottom up. It seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist. It was like something had blinded him.
Wei Feng murmured softly: "If there was something that looked very evil from a distance, but looked even more evil when you got closer, and you knew where the most evil part of it was, would you still go?"
The gray dog behind him didn't look tired, but his snow-white fur was stained with mud spots. Hearing his words, he responded softly: "Woo?"
"No, I'm talking to myself. Why would I hesitate? My current life is not worth cherishing, right?"
Cang Gou rolled his eyes. Since he was talking to himself, why did you ask me?
Wei Feng knelt down and rubbed Cang Gou's head, grinned, and then rushed into the six-pointed star stone platform without hesitation.
