"The altar is underground?" Lu Chen was a little surprised, glanced at the fire rock, and asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huoyan nodded, beckoned to Lu Chen to follow, and then took the lead and walked down.

Lu Chen glanced back at Ah Tu, and saw that Ah Tu was also staring at the underground passage that looked a little dark and deep at the moment, but there didn't seem to be any special reaction other than that.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, but still followed, and Ah Tu followed him into the stone staircase passage.

When they entered the underground cavern, they saw the igneous stone standing in front of them on the side of the stone steps that were going down, and reached out and grabbed a stone somewhere on the wall, and then they heard a rumbling sound, and the heavy stone slab closed behind them again.

The light in the cave dimmed suddenly, but after a while, when Lu Chen's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness here, he found that in the distance of this underground passage, there was a faint dark red light and shadow gently flickering.

Although the light was still very faint, the shadows of some of the stone steps around it were already faintly visible.

There was a sultry breath in the air coming from the front, but it wasn't stuffy, like a hot wind blowing from the depths of the cavern in front of it from time to time, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

It was quiet, and after a while, the deep voice of the igneous rock came from the side, and he whispered, "Let's go down." ”

This underground stone staircase passage is tall enough that even a burly barbarian like Igneous Rock can straighten up his waist when walking in it.

Lu Chen walked silently behind him, his eyes looking around from time to time.

At this moment, there was silence all around, except for the sound of their footsteps, there seemed to be no movement anymore, and even people felt that they could hear their own heartbeats.

Through the dim light, Lu Chen saw that both sides were extremely hard stone walls, the stones on which he had never seen before, looked dark and deep, and there were some strange textures.

As he walked, he found an opportunity to touch his hand on the stone wall next to him, and then found that the stone wall was not cold, but a little warm.

This is obviously very different from the ordinary underground stone cave, but it seems to make sense to think that this is the place where the fire god altar is enshrined by the Black Fire Clan. After all, if the gods are called the god of fire, the heat seems to be a proper thing.

However, Lu Chen was still a little puzzled by another question, so he couldn't help but ask Huoyan and said, "Why is this altar built underground?"

"Huh?" Huoyan, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know about this, it's been like this since I knew about this place." ”

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then added another sentence as if he was about to affirm Lu Chen, "Since the time of our ancestors a long time ago, or rather, since there was this Fire God Altar, it has been like this. ”

Lu Chen frowned, his face looked a little puzzled, and said, "But gods, gods, and the like, haven't they always lived in the Heavenly Immortal Realm in legends?"

Huoyan laughed, waved his hand, and said, "I've never heard of this, probably your Terran saying." And besides, even if this fire god altar is built underground, it naturally has a reason from ancient times, so it can't be said that the fire god is not a god in the sky?"

Lu Chen stopped talking, nodded after thinking about it, and said, "What you said makes sense." ”

Huoyan laughed, didn't take it to heart, and continued to walk forward.

Lu Chen looked at his back, his expression changed, and the light and shadow in the distance fell on his face, making his face dark and uncertain.

On the side of the human race in the vast land of Shenzhou, in myths and legends since ancient times, the gods live above the heavenly realm, and all the altars are also built in the open air. Except for natural disasters and landslides that are buried, no god's place of worship will be in the dark underground.

In the long history of the human race, no god has been under the surface, and those who have built altars deep in the shadows of the earth have nothing to do with the gods of the heavenly realm.

Hidden deep underground, there is only the third realm corresponding to the fairy world and the human world, the yin demons and monsters in the underworld!

※※※

When Lu Chen thought of this, his heart was also slightly cold, and when he looked at the back of the igneous rock in front of him, his eyes became a little cold.

However, of course, Lu Chen had no intention of saying these words to the barbarian in front of him who worshiped the god of fire infinitely, otherwise, Huoyan might not even want the long-awaited priest, and he would have to fight with him, a human race who slandered the gods.

When no one spoke, time seemed to slow down, low footsteps echoed in the gloomy cavern, and the stone steps seemed to stretch forward and down endlessly.

Lu Chen felt that he had been walking for a long, long time, but the scenery in front of him didn't seem to have changed much, but somehow, looking at this dark passage deep into the ground, Lu Chen always had a terrifying feeling that this was the entrance to the depths of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

The only thing that had changed was that the faint light in front of them finally began to become clearer and brighter as they continued to descend.

I don't know how long I walked, Lu Chen felt that the air around him suddenly began to become stuffy, and at the same time, the red light in front of him suddenly brightened, and then, a strange low and dull sound came.

The voice was like a tide and a wind, majestic but solemn and heavy, just when Lu Chen was shocked and suspicious, the fire rock in front of him suddenly stopped, and then with a tone mixed with excitement, admiration, worship and fanaticism, he said, "We have arrived!"

The "arrived" in his mouth naturally meant coming to the altar of the god of fire.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, hurried a few steps, walked quickly to the side of the fire rock from behind, and then looked ahead.

At this moment, the dark red light and shadow had become very bright, because the light source had already appeared in front of his eyes, and when the magnificent scene in front of him appeared in Lu Chen's eyes, even with his knowledge, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

In the depths of this cave buried deep underground, there is indeed no immortal ethereal scene in any human legend, but what is possessed here is a completely different kind of majestic existence.

I saw that at the end of the blackstone passage, a huge cave appeared, and a wave of heat rushed to the face, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

That's the root of all the red light, that's the crimson scorching magma!

At this point, the scene in front of him appeared unabashedly as far as Lu Chen's line of sight was: the floor of a huge cavern, crisscrossed by rivers, a few narrow rocks connected into passages and still exposed, and the rest of the place was filled with hot and red magma. All the magma was flowing slowly, and bubbles of all sizes were rising, expanding, and then bursting on the surface of the magma.

From afar, you can feel the scorching heat, and it is not difficult to imagine what a terrible heat is in the magma. The entire cavern was surrounded by this huge river of magma, all of which flowed in one direction and was in flames.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a black boulder only three feet high on the surface of the magma, with a radius of more than two zhang, and five black stone pillars standing majestically.

When the magma flowed past the side of this boulder, I don't know what kind of strange terrain there was, and a huge whirlpool appeared, so all the magma swirled and roared, and rushed into the whirlpool at a faster and faster speed, contrary to the previous slowness.

Countless scorching flames slammed against the hard black boulders, making thunderous noises, before finally disappearing into the depths of the vortex, seemingly flowing back into the depths of the earth, into an unpredictable place.

"That's the Vulcan Altar!"

Huoyan turned around and said loudly to Lu Chen. In this cavern, the sound of the lava river was so loud that he had to raise his voice.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, and then felt that the burning heat in the air seemed to go straight to his lungs, and there was a slight burning sensation.

His face changed slightly, this kind of realm he had only seen in his life, it was really weird. Then he turned to the igneous rock, and raised his voice and asked him, "So what do we do now?"

"Go over there!" Igneous Stone gestured afar at the monolith, with its five black pillars, and strode forward.

Lu Chen hesitated, turned around and gestured to Ah Tu, signaling him to stay in this cave passage, and then he walked over with the fire rock.

The path to the black boulder, the Vulcan Altar in the mouth of the igneous rock, was actually some large rocks that were exposed to the surface of the lava river, closer to each other, some places on foot, and some places where you had to venture over the lava.

Looking at the blazing fire, red and bright bubbling magma below, even Huoyan, a barbarian who worships the god of fire very much and is very strong himself, can't help but become cautious and solemn.

The igneous stone took the lead and walked forward, and Lu Chen followed behind him, walking and jumping forward on those black stone paths.

It didn't take long for them to come to a fork in the road, cut off by magma, with the boulder leaning towards the Vulcan altar on one side and the other side separated by magma stretching in the other direction of the cavern.

Just as Lu Chen was about to jump over, he was suddenly pulled by the fire rock. Lu Chen looked at him with some surprise, only to see that Huoyan pointed to the other end and said, "Go over there." ”

As he spoke, he jumped and jumped onto the stone farther away.

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, followed as well, and then asked Huoyan, "Why don't you take a shortcut?"

Huo Yan shook his head and said, "The rules passed down by our Black Fire Ancestors, here at the Fire God Altar, we can only take this long road, not a shortcut. ”

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered slightly, and said, "What if you take that shortcut?"

Huoyan was about to move forward when he suddenly paused, and then stopped.
