In order to prevent the Roulda people from tracking me, I parked the aircraft in a valley some distance away from the canyon, and I still planned to walk the rest of the way.
This time entering the underground lair, Xianmu walked even more carefully than the previous time. After all, for them, this may be the last place where they can hide and live.
The prophet was already waiting for us behind the crack in the stone. "When I was watering the water this morning, a lily of the valley told me that you would be back today, so I waited here early."
"Prophet..." Xianmu was about to speak, but the old prophet held her hand, "Go back first."
When I see the water curtain dome again, I will still be deeply shocked by the energy of nature. Under the water curtain, the three stones have been put together, quietly waiting for the last sacred stone to return.
"Prophet... We didn't find the guardian of the water element, but we found this last stone."
"Don't take it too seriously, things will never go as you expect, right? This is the magic of life. It would be too boring if everything went as we planned, wouldn't it?" Although the prophet was answering Xianmu's words, her face kept facing me. I felt like she was hinting at something, but I couldn't grasp the meaning behind her words.
"How can people control other people's wishes and hearts? If he doesn't want to come, just let him do what he wants to do."
"But... now we have found four holy stones, but two guardians are missing... Then there is no way to match what was said in the prophecy..." Xianmu's voice sounded a little frustrated. .
I was thinking about whether to tell them the mystery about the Holy Stone that Haliya told me.
"Prophet, has the time come?" I asked the Prophet.
"This is not my decision. Now that the stones have been gathered, I think this is the best time."
"Should we hold some ceremonies first?" Caron said, rubbing his hands.
The prophet shook his head, "Our prophecy stone does not contain these contents. I think it is not needed."
Xianmu was a little nervous, rubbed his hands for a long time, and finally handed the stone to my hand, "It's up to you, Zhang Xiyuan."
I took the stone and walked to the bottom of the waterfall. "Halia, are you ready?"
A layer of water barrier spread out around my body, "I'm ready, come Yuanchu people."
I walked towards the high platform step by step, and looked back at the people behind me. The expressions on their faces were full of hope, "I suggest that you'd better hide in the caves on the mountain walls to be safer."
"No, we want to witness this magical moment with our own eyes."
I looked at the missing corner of the holy stone under the water curtain, and filled in the last gap in my hand. The direct resonance between the three spiritual stones was already very strong. Just when I combined the four holy stones into one, the last one seemed to be sucked in by a force of its own accord. With a click, the holy stones merged into one, and the crystals glowed with gentle light like beautiful jade. The strong resonance generated by the three holy stones before also stopped at this moment because it had reached completeness.
The blue ancient words embedded in the holy stone are now completely combined, gradually turning into a golden light.
"These words have been lost for a long time. I need some time to decipher them." The prophet turned around and took out a tattered and black book. The contents were outlined with some strange hieroglyphic lines. I started to compare the pages while mumbling some incomprehensible words.
When everyone saw that the merger of the holy stones was not as earth-shattering and gorgeous as they had imagined, they stepped forward to take a closer look. However, when they walked up the steps, the prophet quickly stopped them, "Don't come here!"
Before he finished speaking, the holy stone here still began to change.
The golden words began to flow in the holy stone, and as the speed increased, they gradually transformed into a ring of golden light.
"No, retreat!" I felt the energy changes in the holy stone, and quickly shouted back the people who came up.
However, the transformation speed of the Holy Stone far exceeded my expectations. The golden light rotated faster and faster. The entire Holy Stone could not withstand such a violent flow of energy and actually fell apart. But without the restraint of the holy stone, the golden aperture began to expand at a rapid pace. Tables, chairs, benches and other items in this simple hut were also taken away by the strong wind. The moment they came into contact with the golden light, they disappeared before everyone's eyes.
What is the purpose of this string of text, and how can it have such terrifying destructive power? What was the purpose of sealing it into the holy stone in the first place?
I, who was closest to the holy stone, quickly retreated when I saw something was wrong, and used the water curtain as a barrier to cover everyone in it. Hariya and I used full firepower to resist this suction force, but it still felt a little difficult, so we could only The scope of the barrier continued to shrink, and everyone in the barrier huddled on the ground. Just when he was panicking, Xianmu found that the old prophet was missing from around him.
Only then did I notice that just under the water curtain, the old prophet was squatting on the ground. He seemed to be casting a spell in his hands, using the power of the earth element to keep himself close to the earth. The books in his hands were now gone. , must have been sucked into the golden vortex.
The prophet had a look of pain on his face. He was old and frail and naturally couldn't hold on for long. If he continued like this, he might be sucked in soon, and everyone had just witnessed the consequences of being sucked in.
"Zhang Xiyuan, help him!!" Xianmu shouted to me anxiously.
I divided part of my energy and controlled part of the water flow in the water curtain barrier, trying to form a water barrier to pull the prophet back, but as soon as the energy of the water curtain was stretched out, it was sucked away by the suction force, making it completely impossible to reach. The position of the prophet.
This method obviously won't work, but we can only protect ourselves now. If we want to distract ourselves from saving others, we may end up getting involved together.
The prophet obviously understood his departure and upcoming fate. He pushed himself up, gestured on the ground, and after writing a long list of things, he smiled happily at us.
"No! "Xianmu seemed to understand what the prophet was about to do, and shouted to him in despair.
The prophet placed his hands on the bottom of the stone platform that originally contained the holy stone, then closed his eyes and began to whisper a long series of mantras. With this mantra, the prophet also gradually changed. The originally haggard face became brighter, the veins on his forehead swelled, and his eyes changed from wisdom to fierceness. From far away, I could feel an unruly energy rising in the prophet's body. This spell can actually make people feel young again.
And with this change, a crack began to open at the bottom of the stone platform where the prophet's hands were close, and then surrounded the stone platform. The stone platform that was originally one with the ground was actually separated like this!
"What is he going to do?" Caron asked in confusion.
"The prophet wants to move the stone platform and the energy halo within the holy stone away from here." I saw the prophet's intention, but now I don't know how long he can hold on.
Sure enough, after the prophet separated the stone platform, he used the power of the earth element to lift the stone platform off the ground. However, the raging spiral storm did not stop, and the prophet's body was also swaying in the wind, but his hands were still tight. He gripped the stone platform tightly.
After the golden light left the ground, our pressure suddenly decreased. Looking at the prophet who was like falling leaves in the sky, I quickly urged the water curtain to go to help, but before the water curtain came close, the golden vortex turned the stone platform below. And sucked it in, turning into a line of dust, and the prophet below now lost his support and could not survive. But at this moment, he looked like he had returned to his previous appearance, no, it was even worse than his old appearance before. The originally full blood on his face seemed to have been drained, his eyes were closed tightly and he opened his arms, as if he was Welcome your own death.
The next second, the prophet's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Xianmu burst into tears at this time, as if she had lost a close relative.
The golden vortex in the sky seemed to have had enough fun, and the power of absorption began to gradually become smaller, and then gradually turned into a ring shape, but at this time its size was far greater than when it was inside the holy stone.
As the golden light circulated, a golden energy burst out from the center and hit the ground directly.
noodle.
I was shocked and about to strengthen the protective barrier. But what everyone didn't expect was that this energy reached the ground without making a sound, and all of it poured into the earth, as if they were originally one.
Everyone recovered a little from their shock. Li Shi and Mewati comforted Xianmu, and I walked towards the words carved on the ground before the prophet died.
"The golden light appears and the mind is opened."
"What does this mean?" Caron was confused.
"I understand. This thing that the guardians carefully protect is the key to human strength. The appearance of golden light and the opening of the mind are probably worth the golden light that pours into the earth."
Everyone stood there, not daring to move for a long time. Finally, Caron touched his body and whispered, "I feel... there seems to be nothing different..."
Everything around me seems to have not changed, but everything seems to have changed.
I looked at Xianmu and Karon. Their faces were filled with disbelief and disappointment...
"I thought that when we gathered these holy stones, God would come to this world again, but... we spent so much effort, what did we get..." Xian Mu, who has always been strong, His eyes were filled with tears at this time, "Perhaps what we have been dreaming of all our lives is just an illusion..."
"Wait! I seem to find something different! Maybe... the prophecy on the holy stone does not ask us to wait for the arrival of a true god, but gives us the power of god!" Mewati got up from the ground and looked Said while holding his hands.
"What did you see? Mewati?" Karon approached and asked.
"I saw... I saw the veins of the plants and my own blood..." Mewati raised her head and looked at Li Shi, "I saw the difference between her and ours under the skin. She is really An alien."
After hearing what Mewati said, everyone else also turned their attention to Li Shi.
"I saw it too! Really!"
"She is an alien!"
Li Shi was made uncomfortable by what they said, and touched her face, "You...how did you see it? What I am using is obviously a human body!"
