Chapter 879. Tomb Robbery 17

Since there was no interference, the two humans arrived at the other end of the passage smoothly. The warning on the stone door, never open your eyes, was only for Partridge Whistle and Red Girl.

After a group of snakes completed their mission, they were packed away by Chang Laoba. The stone door opened to the west, which is equivalent to walking from the bottom of the second-level underground lake to the bottom of the first-level underground lake. The altar must be It is directly below the ruins of the ancient city. The terrain is higher as you go west, and the higher side is the west.

From Longding Glacier to this white tunnel, one of the biggest features of Erluohai City is that these people worship the abyss and are always going downwards. The deeper they go, the closer they are to their goal. Although this tunnel leads to the first level in the west The bottom of the underground lake is sloping downward, so you should go down.

Being oppressed by darkness for a long time is a test of anyone's psychological endurance, not to mention that there is something ghostly and shadowy nearby. Fortunately, Partridge Whistle and Red Girl are both professional tomb robbers, and their psychological qualities are really good.

The two of them rested for a short while before they all recovered. Zi Feng comforted him calmly: "Both of you are cursed, so those snakes think you are a sacrifice. In principle, if you don't open your eyes, even if you are By default, the sacrifice cannot be eaten anywhere."

Partridge Whistle: "Sister, I'm not comforted by you at all." He sighed as he spoke. Just when they were sorting themselves out, they saw a dark thing rushing towards them to provoke them. The problem was that there were only two pure humans here, and the remaining few were not used to this thing.

Therefore, when this guy took action, he was directly pushed to the ground by Chang Laoba. Several non-human beings looked at Xing's research and found out what this black ball was. This one is similar to the previous green version, and it looks like it could be the body of a spirit turtle.

Zifeng asked: "Still a turtle? Why don't you dig up the turtle shell?"

Chang Laoba: "This doesn't look like a turtle, right? It doesn't look like a snake either. What species is this?"

Zifeng spread her hand, poked it twice and said, "It doesn't look like a soul."

Jiang Run calmly poked the black guy and said, "Oh, this is the result of the mutation of those fish outside."

Everyone was speechless, and Zifeng suddenly said: "Miss Hong, I'd better ask you to be careful when unloading the ridge. After all, this kind of thing doesn't necessarily need to be cleaned up quickly. If you bring the guys here, you can't focus the fire in a wave, just almost."

They looked ahead, and saw a large piece of white rock in the shape of a twist, standing out from the ground more than one meter high. It looked like a complex geometric figure.

Zifeng watched Jiang Run go up to take a look, and found that there was the entrance of an inclined shaft. The bottom could not be seen, but there were steps, which should be the way for the sacrifices to go down.

Everyone is speechless, just keep going down, there is no way you can survive this disaster. Anyway, that's all. Based on the principle that he is a man, Partridge Whistle took the lead, consciously, and went to explore the road.

When we came to the underground well, there was a very spacious cave with an inverted horn, a narrow mouth and a large bottom, like a very thick underground natural geode. He whistled, and Miss Hong also came down, followed by a group of other people. The whole place was arc-shaped, with a slope of about 45 degrees, and there were some slightly protruding steps at the beginning.

On the lower slope, there are countless simple stone grooves dug by hand for stepping on. They are shallow and slippery. In addition, they are so worn that most of them are almost flat. Once you slide down, it is like riding on a slide. You will not reach the end until you reach the end. It's hard to stop.

Here, there are crystal veins criss-crossing the mine above the head. Whenever a person moves below, countless shadows will follow them around, as if they have entered an upside-down mirror maze. The terrain here is a very neat semicircle, with a line of flags and clouds wavering on the top, giving people a sense of mystery as the mountain is ethereal.

In the crystal veins above the head, there are bright lights like will-o-the-wisps flickering from time to time, appearing and extinguishing suddenly. There are hundreds of them, and they look as bright as stars. The end of the sky beam reaches directly into the mountain. The internal space is not large. There are two pools on the ground. The walls are carved with ferocious evil spirits. There are dozens of vigorous and ancient white stone statues on both sides. They are slightly taller than ordinary people. Each one is Everyone is holding a stone as big as a bowl in the ocean.

There are also several slightly smaller caves in the altar, which are extremely religious. Miss Hong quickly discovered the strange and bizarre carvings around her. There was a human-shaped groove on the ground, with its limbs spread out. It seemed to be a place of execution. Over the years, too many people had been killed, and they were soaked in blood. The stone groove had turned into Dark red, it feels cruel just to look at it.

Looking at this situation, Partridge Whistle recorded what should be recorded. The simple and unassuming human figures in the murals can clearly distinguish the "sacrifice" from the "priest". The entire process of sacrificing "snake bones", All done by two priests.

Wearing different clothes and masks, they first fixed a slave to the wall, used sharp tools to peel off the slave's skin from the top of the head, and then placed him on the execution stone on the ground before he was completely dead. He was killed in the trough, and then a "priest" held the dead sacrifice and entered the place where the altar has two pools.

That is the main place for worshiping snake bones. No matter what kind of ceremony is performed, the deceased and the "Phoenix Guts" must be sunk into two corresponding pools at the same time. This seems to be to maintain a certain balance of power. .

The stone troughs and walls where the skinning and killing rituals were held are unbearable to watch. Returning to the hall with two pools, I found that the body of the crystal bowl looked like a small water tank. It was connected to the mountain of Yushan, but it was completely integrated and I couldn't tell where the interface was.

I don’t know when, a thin wisp of dark blue crystal sand leaked from above, and a full layer of it had accumulated at the bottom of the bowl. Partridge Whistle looked up along the place where the "crystal sand" flowed out, at the interface with the mountain. , there is a black evil ghost mural, whose face is blurry and unrecognizable, but it always feels like the "Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain" in the tunnel.

Is this crystal bowl that is constantly pouring quicksand an ancient timer? What is the purpose of it being placed here inexplicably? Not a good thing.

This underground altar is the core of the sacred territory of the evil Luo Hai people. Naturally, you cannot enter or exit casually. If the ceremony is not held at a certain time, the "Great Black Sky Thunder Mountain" in the tunnel will be removed from the white tunnel. Put the altar in, so the black thing caught before should be the "watcher" of the altar.

Judging from the speed of the quicksand injection and the size of the giant crystal bowl, the whole process took about two hours, that is, four disappeared. The cruel "killing ritual" of skinning must be completed within this time.

Zifeng said to Partridge Whistle: "Look in the opposite direction of the carving, throw the eyes and Muchen Beads, and you'll be done."
