Chapter 263, The Altar

Beyond the plank road, it seems to be another world.

The dim night sky, with a little starry and a lonely crescent moon, is a little bleak.

And beneath the sky, directly in front of me, was a huge altar.

The altar is the size of two football fields, and is surrounded by a wall nearly ten meters high.

In the center of the four walls, there are also shining heavy bronze gates, located in the four directions of south, east and west.

The altar is built by a round platform, the width of the round platform is more than 50 meters, the height is more than 10 meters, it is divided into three layers, and each layer has a ladder for people to climb.

If that's all there is, it's fine.

The point is that at the top of the altar of the Rotunda stands a tall statue of the god at this moment.

The idol is a woman, with a graceful body and a slender body, conservatively estimated to be more than three meters tall.

The idol holds a handprint in one hand and makes a gesture of caressing beings with the other.

Beneath the statue, the third floor of the platform, four bronze figures are kneeling.

These bronze figures, male and female, kneel under the statue of the goddess in the south, east, west, and northwest directions.

They all pose in the same position, with their heads bowed, one hand on the ground, the other in a lifting position, as if receiving a gift from the idol.

On the second floor of the round platform, there are also believers kneeling, and the number is seven, which is a few more than the third layer.

Although the number has increased, the second level of worshippers is not bronze figures, but stone figures.

These statues also prostrate themselves at the feet of the goddess in a kneeling posture, looking very reverent.

Although the seven stone statues occupy the second level of the altar, the overall appearance is incongruous, or rather missing, and there is a gap between the two stone statues.

It seems that there should still be a stone statue in the original location.

Putting aside the anomalies of the second layer, the believers of the third layer are more strange.

They are not limited to humans, but also contain some wild beasts, such as foxes, weasels, pythons, etc., there are as many as sixteen statues, all of which are stone statues.

They also kneel under the statue of the goddess and bow down in a very humane manner.

And in the open space beyond the altar, the scene is even more spectacular.

Countless stone statues knelt on the ground, worshipping the idol of the god on the altar.

These stone statues are circled and circled, inside and outside three times, surrounding the altar, looking at the dense number, there are thousands of stone statues.

The stone statue kneeling down to the stone statue, this scene is indescribably weird, and the most bizarre thing is that the statue of the goddess at the top of the altar, although it is slender and more than three meters tall, it has no head!

The whole shoulder was empty and there was nothing.

This...... It's the headless god we've seen in a mural before!

When I saw the scene in front of me, I already realized that all the scenes shown in the mural had been fulfilled.

It's just that the scene in reality is far more shocking than in the mural.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

When we see this headless idol, it means that we have reached the final level.

But the problem is, I don't know how to clear the level, whether to destroy the idol or to find the head of the idol and attach it to her?

The former is risky, what if destroying the idol is counterproductive?

When the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be too late to regret it.

As for finding the head of the idol and reassembling it for her, it is a worthwhile solution.

But now I don't know, where is the head of this idol?

There were no houses in the area, not even a place to hide, just an altar, an eerie altar where stone statues knelt down and worshipped.

Faced with this kind of scene, not only me, but even the stone spirit around me was stunned.

Although its expression could not be seen, its body was shaking, and it looked very emotionally unstable.

It's just that I don't know if it's agitated or angry.

There are no facial features, no expressions, and you can't speak, but it's really hard to tell if you just judge from your body language.

"What's the matter? Did you find anything?"

I stretched out my hand and patted the shoulder of the gargoyle, but I didn't expect this thing to react very much, and it turned into a dragon eighteen palms, which scared me so much that I hurriedly retreated and dodged.

After less than three seconds, the gargoyle quickly softened again, waving its hand at me and shaking its head, as if apologizing.

"What the hell is going on?" I wondered, "Are you also a believer in this statue?"

Originally, it was just a casual question, but I didn't expect the gargoyle spirit to really nod.

Then he pointed to the empty spot on the second floor of the altar, and then to himself.

For a moment, I was stunned.

With wide eyes, I pointed to the second floor of the altar and asked, "You mean, that location was originally yours?"

The gargoyle nodded again, confirming my inner thoughts.

Now, I am a little uneasy.

The identity of the stone statue spirit seems to have become confusing again at this moment.

Although I don't know what happened, the gargoyle was a real Yin God at first, but then it was demoted for some reason and removed from the name of Yin God.

But even so, it still has the ability to flesh and bones.

And such an originally powerful Yin God would actually be placed on this altar.

The strangest thing is that it's only on the second floor.

And there are as many as seven Yin Gods like it.

In other words, it was originally a yin god, but it was nothing in it.

The second layer is the eight Yin God statues, and the third layer is only four bronze statues, and you can think of it with your toes, the level of these four bronze statues is much more powerful than the eight Yin God statues, but I am afraid that they can be compared with the righteous gods such as the land and mountain gods.

If the four bronze statues can reach the level of righteous gods, then I wonder how powerful the goddess statue at the top should be?

After all, in front of this headless goddess statue, whether it is a yin god or a bronze statue, there is only a part of worship.

The horror of something that can make the yin god worship can be imagined.

For the answer to the gargoyle, it was as if I had a boulder pressed against my chest.

It was not easy to deal with the stone statue spirit before, such a demoted Yin God, but now it is naturally more difficult to face the orthodox Yin God, even if I have the Huangquan Knife in my hand, I am not the slightest sure.

This is the case for dealing with the Yin God, not to mention the bronze statues above the Yin God.

As for the headless goddess statue at the top, I can't even think about it, it's definitely not an existence that I can spy on right now.

The Huangquan knife in my hand, slaying ghosts is a murder weapon, but if it is a god, I don't know if it has any effect, even if I am not facing a god in the real sense, but they have the ability that is difficult for ordinary people to see.

For ordinary people, they are gods.

"What do you think now? Do you want to return to your place?"

After a brief moment of shock, I finally set my sights on the gargoyle.

At this moment, there is still a trace of luck in my heart, these in front of me are just gods, not real gods, even if they have some magical abilities, it is better to deal with them than to come with a real body.

Faced with doubts, the gargoyle spirit did not make any movement, but just stared directly ahead, at the statue of the goddess standing on the altar.

Of course, if it has eyes, it's called vision.

Just as I was a little uncertain, the gargoyle suddenly lifted its feet and walked towards the center of the altar.
