"I have a certain responsibility for this...... Li Huan's old face flushed: "But you guys are also making too much of a fuss, in fact, just that Quetzalcoatl, no one will leave there alive." I'm curious to ask, that Quetzalcoatl God was actually created by you, right? Have you ever thought about creating such a powerful monster, once it is activated by mistake, future generations may not be able to clean it up at all. β
"That's right, although it is extremely powerful, after seven days, it will be classified and die, what kind of people do you think we Aztecs are? will kill innocents indiscriminately?" You already know about Quetzalcoatl and the pyramids, but you don't know the last thing. Don't think that when the Quetzalcoatl God is dead, only the Guardians of the Yellow Springs are left, and we are never sloppy in protecting the last dignity of our ancestors. β
"What else?" Li Huan already felt a headache, how could he have thought that an ancient race known for its blood and cruelty would have such a sophisticated witchcraft.
"At the same time as the Yellow Springs Guardian is activated, in order to make the Yellow Springs Guardian evolve as quickly as possible, the three pyramids will release a rather strong death aura. The breath of death I'm talking about is really the breath of death, the black cloud you just showed. It wasn't actually a cloud, it was the condensation of the dead man's resentment, and those clouds were all the breath of death that had accumulated since the Aztecs had altars from ancient times to the present. It won't be long before the rainforest becomes a land of death, and even the plants can't escape. β
"Aren't you terrorists...... Li Huan was dumbfounded: "Can you do it so thoroughly?"
"What would you do if someone destroyed the last glory of your ancestors, the evidence of your existence on earth, and the last dignity of you?" the high priest asked rhetorically.
"That's also ......" Li Huan nodded, if this matter happened to him, he would definitely be even crazier: "Okay, I understand the cause and effect, now there are only two questions left, the first one, I want to go out from here and bring these people who brought me information." Second, you've said so much, and I fully understand what you're thinking right now, is there anything you can do to solve this problem?"
"I can answer you now about the two questions you said, first, I do know the way to get out of here, but I have to promise me one condition before I can tell you the way. The High Priest said.
In fact, at present, Li Huan's most urgent thing is to leave this place. No matter how much information he knows, if he can't leave this stuck space, then he can't take the information he knows outside, which means that all the information he does is useless. Although the eagle and the lizard and the others all said in unison, everyone wanted to leave this space. But the high priest put forward the conditions at this time, and Li Huan must also continue.
"Tell me, I will do what I can do, and even if I can't, I will try my best to do it. Li Huan can only say this, if you can't do it, you can't leave.
"The reason for this space is actually because the Yellow Springs Guardian's backlash is too great, in addition to turning me into a skeleton, it also pulls the entire location of this altar into another world...... It's easy to get out of here, but you'll have to promise me to take care of all the Aztecs here, and I'll tell you how to leave. The High Priest said.
"Take care of all the Aztecs......" Li Huan was stunned, this was a little different from what he expected. Li Huan originally expected that the high priest would put forward a condition to let them regain their freedom or something, as long as this matter came out of this space, it would be easy to say, but he didn't expect that the high priest would say this condition.
"That's right, to take care of all our fellow citizens. The high priest said, "They have become immortal in this world, and many of them have only their souls left...... I know what you're capable of, and I know what is happening on it, and I need you to take care of them and provide them with shelter. We have been out of this world for hundreds of years, the Aztecs became slaves after the fall of the state, and we no longer know the outside world...... There are also my mistakes. So I don't want someone to go out and become a slave, that's what I'm prescribing. β
Oh, it turned out that this old thing regretted it. In order to complete his own sacrifice, he sacrificed 20,000 Spaniards, and then dragged an unknown number of Aztecs into this strange space. Since this space was activated by him, he must have a way to know what Li Huan is doing in this world - for example, he has put on a new body for Eagle and Gardenia.
He is atoning for his sins, Li Huan groaned for a moment, if he could, he would really want to help the high priest, and also want to help the Aztecs get out of this space. But the problem is that he didn't dare to agree easily, because there were definitely not a few Aztecs who built this city-state back then, if it was one or two, Li Huan would definitely agree, what if it was 100,000, what about 200,000 or 1 million?
Li Huan asked cautiously, "How many people are there?"
"Many of our compatriots have already left us, and on the day the sacrifice was launched, there were now less than two thousand left in the entire dungeon, no matter what form it was. The high priest said, "If you promise to take these two thousand men out and settle them well, so that they do not become slaves again, then I will tell you how to get out of here." β
2000 people!
Li Huan scolded in his heart, I knew that this was not a problem of two people at all, this was the entire dungeon. Fortunately, when the sacrifice was launched, when this area was dragged into this space and stuck, a large number of Aztecs had already died, otherwise Li Huan felt that he might be facing ten or even a hundred times the number of people today.
But even if it was two thousand people, Li Huan didn't dare to agree easily.
It's not a matter of money, Li Huan's current wealth, let alone raising two thousand people, even if it is ten times more, it is definitely not a problem.
It's a matter of place, and of who they are.
This is not a few hundred years ago, a few hundred years ago, 2,000 people could just find something deep in the mountains and old forests and throw it into the problem, and now a group of 2,000 people is so big, no matter where they go, they will be monitored. In no country in the world, it is impossible to have 2,000 more people out of thin air somewhere, and it is not doubtful. Even if Li Hua is very wealthy now and has enough money to make them worry about food and clothing, but these two thousand people are two thousand people, not two thousand things, just find a warehouse and finish everything...... Or you can discuss with Red Sea Trade and see if Manager Chen can help solve the problem of these people's hukou?
The two green flames in the high priest's skull stared at Li Huan tightly, as if they wanted to see every expression on his face clearly.
Li Huan knew that this matter could not be easily agreed, if it was a problem that money could solve, Li Huan would definitely have agreed to it...... But this is a problem with the living quarters of 2,000 people. It's certainly not appropriate for you to put them together with ordinary people...... Li Huan thought about it, and suddenly had an idea: "I have a way, I can settle your people well, so that they will not be bullied again." β
"You say. Two green flames danced in the High Priest's eyes.
"Well, I have an industry, and it's an island that hangs in the middle of the world. The climate on the island isn't good, but I'm sure it's safe, and no one is allowed to go near the island except with my permission. When your people come out, they can go and live on that island, so that no outsiders will harass them, and you don't have to worry about them becoming slaves. I can even promise you that you can live according to the way you used to live, and if you like to build pyramids, you can build pyramids on top of them, and as long as you don't catch the living and sacrifice them, everything can go as usual. Li Huan said: "It's just that the climate is a little colder, and you have to adapt to this." β
"No problem, it's just the climate! Maybe it's providence, the kind of place you're talking about is almost isolated from the world, and it's just right for them to return to the world......," said the high priest, and with another hand he held out and asked Lee
Huan also stretched out a hand, and then said, "It's not that I don't believe you, I must put a curse on you, lest you abandon my master." If you do all of this, this curse will never strike. β
"Curse, what curse?" Li Huan frowned.
"It's just a promise, and if you break it, you will become a dry bone. How do you dare?" said the high priest.
Psychologically speaking, Li Huan does not accept this method. But now it's on someone's territory, and Li Huan didn't mean to tease them. So after thinking about it, I simply stretched out my hand.
Li Huan definitely didn't talk nonsense, the place he said had been forgotten for a long time. It was when he first went to England to assist the Inquisition to solve the matter of the De Beers family's underground fortress, Li Huan was made a marquis by the British royal family, and gave him a fief, which made Li Huan jump and scold for a long time. Because this fiefdom hangs overseas, that place is different from civil aviation, and there are many pirate criminals. For a fiefdom, Li Huan can be said to have been tricked. But now that I think about it, wasn't that a paradise for 2,000 Aztecs? pirates and criminals or something...... Li Huan believed that the Aztecs who migrated up would solve the problem on their own.
No matter what kind of pirate or criminal it is, if you want to compare your means with the Aztecs, you are looking for your own death.
Li Huan stretched out his hand, only to see the high priest stretch out his bone-like hand and use his fingers to draw a mysterious symbol on Li Huan's arm. The symbol was as black as ink, and it seemed to be gradually entering Li Huan's body. Li Huan only felt a thrill on his body, shook his arm, and when he looked at it again, the symbol disappeared completely.
"Okay, you've cursed too, now you should tell me how to get out, right?" Li Huan said.
"Of course, no problem. This space is actually the result of witchcraft, and the root of this witchcraft lies in the underground altar. Just break the altar of the earth and it will be gone......," said the high priest.
"It's that simple?" Li Huan was stunned.
"It's as simple as that...... I've been in this space for many years. I know I've done something very wrong and hurt my people, but I'......m a little too stubborn," said the High Priestess.
"Thank you so much. Li Huan didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"No, you shouldn't thank me, you should thank yourselves, I've already told you how to get out, and the rest is up to you. The High Priest said.
"What do you mean......" Li Huan had a bad feeling.
"Remember the two thousand Aztec warriors I told you about, when the sacrifice was launched, they used their lives and souls as a guide to guide the ......sacrifice," said the high priest, "and they have become unconscious monsters, hovering in the altar under the council chamber." It's not that I don't want to send you out in person, but if you look at me like this, even if I have the heart, I can't do it. So the rest is up to you, and my men will wait for you to go to the altarβyou have to free their souls and break the altar. β
"The altar is still under the council hall......" Li Huan frowned: "I thought the one who came in was the altar...... And what's that huge stone out there with countless symbols?"
"That's a square where we hold our ceremonies......" The eagle was anxious when he heard this, "High priest, do you mean that you need my friends to go inside the altar to liberate our compatriots? I've been told that our siblings are no longer human, and they don't even have thoughts. They have become completely bloodthirsty monsters. If that's the case, wouldn't a space as big as a few altars be full of two thousand monsters?"
"That's it. The high priest nodded: "Now it's up to you how you choose." If you want to get out of this world, you have to fight a random group, but if you want to fight a random group, you must face those 2,000 siblings who have become monsters and have no humanity. But don't forget, Outsider, you just promised me to take these two thousand people out, which means you must destroy all the monsters below. Purify their souls. Take all their souls out of this world. If you don't do any of the above, you won't be able to leave this world. β
"I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. Li Huan slapped his thigh.
There is certainly no such thing as a free lunch in this world. There is no such thing as a free lunch in any world. Want to achieve your goals. Only hands-on. Hands-on approach is the best way to solve everything. Li Huan had just heard the high priest speak in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and he thought that after he finished speaking, the high priest would do something and let them leave this space. But I didn't expect that there was such a condition here.
The most pitiful thing is that the high priest asked Li Huan to take them out, the two thousand people, let Li Huan settle these two thousand people well, so that they can live a life similar to ordinary people from now on - God knows that these two thousand people are not ready yet, listen to the meaning of the high priest, if you want to take them out, you must first kill them, and then purify their souls and take their souls out of this space, so that Li Huan can completely get out of this space, otherwise he will be completely trapped in this world and cannot leave.
This is simply an overlord clause!
But what can Li Huan say? In order to leave this ghost place, it seems that he has to clear a boss.
"Isn't it just two thousand souls waiting to be purified, and you can just defeat them, right? Don't worry, Dr. Morgan Freeman is on top, and I will let them be liberated by the laws of physics. After Li Huan finished speaking, he took out the glandular copper broadsword and waved it twice, the huge oybalsm broadsword brought a vicious wind, whirring, Li Huan said: "Don't worry! Isn't it just 2,000 people? Maybe you don't believe it. I am very experienced in helping the deceased who do not want to leave this world and go where they should be, and I have never failed so far. Not to mention you, civilizations that are bigger than you, I have helped them to free themselves with my own hands. The rest is up to me. β
Li Huan is naturally talking about the Atlantean civilization under the Azores, this civilization still remains in the world after its destruction, and it is still their poisonous heritage, and finally Li Huan and Bellamy are destroyed by their own hands. Compared to Atlantis, Li Huan believed that the Aztecs would definitely be much less difficult to civilize, at least they didn't have anything as dangerous as divine blood.
Isn't it just to help 2,000 people get free, this thing is easy to do.
Watching Li Huan wield the mountain bronze broadsword, the high priest suddenly said: "Outsider, I don't know what physics you are talking about, but if you want to use this weapon against them, I advise you to accept this thought as soon as possible." What should I tell you? That altar is not really an altar. It is an altar that exists in nothingness and is built with spiritual power. And the Aztec warriors who guard this altar naturally have no entity, and attacking with weapons is useless. β
"Isn't it an entity?" Li Huan was stunned: "Then how can I dismantle it?"
"Of course, all this is just speculation, and the specific situation can only be known by seeing it with my own eyes. β
β¦β¦
It had been two hours since Li Huan came to the dungeon, and Li Huan originally thought that this was a very simple matter. Come to the dungeon and find the High Priest, and after solving the problem, they can leave the space. But unexpectedly, the high priest raised another difficult question. If you want to leave this space, you must first deal with the underground altar. And the underground altar is not physical at all.
And according to the situation described by the high priest, if you want to go down to this underground altar, if you don't want to be wiped out, then only Li Huan will go alone, and the eagles, lizards, and gardenias can only wait on it.
Because of the complexity and danger of the underground altar, this is not the case at all
Some rookies can handle it, and the slightest carelessness will be fatal. And according to what the high priest said, the monsters in the underground altar are probably gone. The last sacrifice of the Aztec Empire was too large. This sacrifice has drained their flesh and blood, and if they are lucky, they will be left with skeletons, and if they are unlucky, they will only be left with a wisp of hatred.
It's the kind of ghost that kills people when they see them
Fortunately, there is a plan for the underground altar.
According to the plan taken out by the high priest, there were five more passages leading to the center of the altar. This was the passage used to transport materials and excess waste during the construction of the altar. After the altar was built, the Aztecs blocked four of them, and now only one passage remains. That is to say, if you want to enter the underground altar, you must pass through this passage, but Li Huan found a problem when looking at the design drawing, this is a dead end, that is, you must go back the same way, here is a hundred meters underground, if the not so solid passage collapses, Li Huan is likely to be buried alive inside.
He really wants to be able to shuttle through the space at will now, and he must go back to Huayu Island after going out this time. One is to collect the crystal nucleus of that world, which is a must-have skill to save life, and the other is to go back and see your lovely girls.
But the good thing is that. Although 500 years have passed, the 5500 years have come to a standstill, which means that the passage does not exist in any weathering or cracking, and it is exactly the same as when it was first built. Of course, although the Tao and the Tao may be safe, there are still so many life-hating souls hidden underneath, and it is not a fun thing to be surrounded by them.
Despite this, Li Huan still had to go.
If he doesn't go to the underground altar, there is no way to destroy the altar, if the altar is not destroyed, the two thousand souls will not be able to be brought out, and if he can't bring out the two thousand souls, if he does not destroy the underground altar, Li Huan will not be able to leave this space that is stuck in time. So no matter what, Li Huan has to go down and try it. After some preparations, Li Huan said goodbye to everyone, and told everyone not to separate, in case he destroyed the altar, then it was best for everyone to gather together in a short time, because after going out from here, they didn't know where they would be teleported to. It's safer to be around people, even if they're teleported to an unfamiliar place.
For this reason, Li Huan also left a special fun thing, a real-time intercom system, which he also made from the auction space, which has a theoretical infinite distance communication length.
"It's ready, but the altar is below the council chamber, and I can't see where to get to that entrance. Li Huan said.
"Ready, I'll send you there. The High Priest gently kicked a symbol on the ground, only to hear a rumbling sound from the underworld, as if something was spinning inside the rock. Li Huan was puzzled, and suddenly felt a loosening under his feet, a big stone instantly cracked, and a black hole suddenly appeared under Li Huan's feet, and before he could react, the whole person fell directly into it.
With a brief feeling of weightlessness, Li Huan finally landed on his feet after a "click". You will subconsciously look up. I didn't know that there was no light at all. Calculating the distance according to the time when he had just fallen, Li Huan felt that the distance he had fallen was more than 60 meters.
"It's so deep......" Li Huan moved his ankle.
"Your Excellency...... This is the voice of an adult! My lord, what's the situation next? Do you have something to do?" Gardenia's somewhat unconfident voice came from the intercom system that Li Huan hung on his waist. Because this underground world has not been opened for many years, and the place where Li Huan is going is an altar that is more secret than the underground world, it is deeper into the underground world, and there are still two thousand Aztec warriors stationed in it - God knows what has become of those two thousand people now.
For example, if it's two thousand wandering spirits like gardenias, or two thousand monsters like eagles, it's a big problem.
So as soon as Li Huan landed on the ground, after hearing his voice from the entrance of the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you hear clearly...... I just landed, it's too dark down here, I've got to get the lighting off, and it's going to be dark on top for a while. Li Huan said, calling the small ball of light from the lighting system. After the little ball of light came to the altar under the cave, the environment below was immediately unobstructed, and Li Huan glanced around: "It's very desolate here, and it's ...... It's kind of disgusting. β
Desolation is because there is nothing underneath this. It's like entering a dead space. How do you say that? There is life in a desolate place, no matter where it is, at least there are bugs. And this dead underground altar, you can't even hear the sound of bugs, it's also terrifying. As for disgusting, Li Huan finally knew that the witchcraft that the high priest said was too counterproductive, and how his whole body was devoured.
Although it has not yet officially entered the altar, it is only at the entrance of the altar. But Li Huan had already found some flesh and blood on the ground that had not dried up. That's right, flesh and blood. The kind of flesh that was shattered to pieces and smeared everywhere. Thanks to the unique nature of this space, no matter how many hundred years have passed, the flesh will never dry up, and it will always remain the way it was when it was pulled into this space and time was stuck.
"Did you find our people?" asked the high priest.
"How can I answer this question, it doesn't seem right to say that I didn't find it......" Li Huan thought for a while and then said: "I found their flesh and blood." It was evenly smeared on the ground, and you know how horrible your sacrifice was. β
According to the High Priest, the 2,000 people who stayed below voluntarily used their bodies and flesh to activate the most terrifying and powerful witchcraft in the history of the Aztecs, the Yellow Springs Guards, and used the population of an entire town for sacrifice, which was really terrifying.
"Well, be careful, when entering through the tunnel, be careful not to let the tunnel collapse, or you won't be able to get out. The High Priest said.
"Okay, I'll go in first. After Li Huan finished speaking, he released one of Xiao Fei's remaining sub-machines.
He's not stupid, go in, don't you find out what's inside first, how to get in? Xiaofei's submachine was let out by Li Huan and entered the only entrance. This entrance was seen when Li Huan fell, when he scanned the surrounding environment. It wasn't a grand building, and even the entrance was unadorned. It's just a matter of reinforcing it with something simple to keep the tunnel from collapsing.
The machine flew into the tunnel leading to the altar.
Soon, a green spot of light appeared on Li Huan's virtual screen. There were hundreds of green points of light on the surface inside the tunnel, Li Huan didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not a safe thing. This is not normal, it stands to reason that there could be no glowing plants in this tunnel deeper than the council chamber, let alone living things. Li Huan let the child machine close to a green point of light to check for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Xiaofei, what is this?" asked Li Huan.
"I don't know, there's no comparison...... The wild perception radar also did not react. Xiao Fei said in the spiritual power channel: "Or some kind of space creature doesn't have to say, if that's the case, it's troublesome." β
"What are space creatures?" asked Li Huan.
"The so-called space creatures are specific beings born in a certain space. There have been instances in the past where a space that has been enclosed for too long will give birth to a unique life - not necessarily a life, or some other energy body or something. Of course, I don't think it would be so unlucky, after all, the birth of that kind of thing feeds on the structure of energy and space. If that kind of thing had been born, the space would have collapsed long ago. Fei said.
"Don't talk about the impossible, I'm stunned. Li Huan complained: "Let's go, let's go in and see, what's in there!"
