Chapter 31: Choice
【Ding! You feel a strong curse in the air, and if you are willing to calm down and find and understand the source of the curse, you will be able to master the branch knowledge of curses. 】
【Ding! You find a corpse that has been buried for years but has not decomposed, and if you are willing to stop and deal with it, you will be able to obtain a powerful undead minion. 】
【Ding! You see a rare poisonous herb, and if you can deal with it clearly, you'll have a knowledge of the toxicity branch. 】
【Ding! You notice a special group of poisonous insects in the grass, if you ......]
As Ryuji stepped into this sound, every time he took a step, the prompt tone would naturally sound.
At first, Ryuji thought that he had entered a treasure trove, a city that had not been discovered by outsiders, and there were too many secrets hidden.
But after taking ten steps, Ryuji had already reacted, and this was the second test after the giant snake.
Choose!
Regardless of whether what Ryuji found was true or not, he only had one chance to choose.
For example, the heavy curse aura, Ryuji believed that as long as he was willing to find the source, three days would be enough for him to find it.
But as long as he starts to choose, he can't stop, and in the end, all he can achieve is a cursed necromancer.
And this city knows at a glance that the further you go, the better things are, and the best things are on the pyramid nine times out of ten.
Ryuji had heard the story of the little monkey coming down the mountain, and the little monkey, who didn't know what he wanted, finally walked back to the mountain empty.
Liu Zhi, who understood all this, was firm in his beliefs, even if the various prompts became more and more dense, he was still unmoved, and walked towards the pyramid step by step.
As he had guessed, the further you went, the better the hint would be.
When he walked to the square in front of the pyramid, a hint finally appeared that moved Ryuji.
【Ding! You've discovered the Mayan-Aztec hybrid Blood Sacrifice Altar, and if you're willing to spend enough time observing and researching it, you'll be able to master a special Blood Ritual and follow the path of the Blood Sacrifice branch. 】
【Ding! You've discovered the corpses and grievances left behind by the Blood Sacrifice, and if you're willing to slowly transform here, you'll have the power to control an army of the undead. 】
【Ding! You feel a glimmer of divinity from a mysterious deity, and although you don't know which deity it is, if you want to, you can become a follower of it and get the support of this deity! 】
……
Looking at these prompts, Liu Zhi's pace finally slowed down.
Walking from the entrance to this square, the road is full of trees reborn, the road is chaotic, and Yanagi has only walked for less than an hour.
And here in the square in front of him, it is clear that there is only a distance of two kilometers in length and width, but Liu Zhi has walked for a full two hours, and the moon has already risen in mid-air, and he has not yet reached the bottom of the pyramid.
There were several times when Ryuji was about to give up on the idea of going to the end, and he even felt that everything in front of him was enough to study it himself.
But the pyramid in front of him, as well as the phantom of the huge red feathered serpent on the pyramid, appeared in front of Liu Zhi from time to time, making him believe that in the pyramid, there must be something more attractive to him.
Finally, at about ten o'clock in the evening, Ryuji managed to step on the steps of the pyramid.
This is the case with the pyramid of the hybrid style of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, and the moment he stood here, Ryuji only felt as if the surroundings were separated.
The various prompts that had been popping up disappeared, and a cold moonlight shot down from the sky and shone in front of Ryuji.
Ryuji held the long sword in one hand and the golden pendant in the other, and slowly walked towards it.
With each step, Ryuji would look up and upward, and he noticed that as he walked up, the feathered serpent at the top of the pyramid slowly became vivid.
Halfway through, the Quetzalcoatl Phantom spread its wings and flew away from the top of the pyramid, hovering in the sky.
When it was two-thirds of the way through, the Quetzalcoatl's eyes showed a sense of superiority, as if everything below had not been taken into account, and at the same time, there were many more ornaments made of gold and precious stones on the Quetzalcoatl's body.
Ryuji noticed that the style of these ornaments was very similar to the pendant he held in his hand.
Ryuji didn't understand what was going on, but he was sure that it was the last treasure in the city.
"I'll be sure."
Ryuji comforted himself and walked towards the pyramid again.
When Ryuji reached the top of the pyramid, he suddenly felt a light all around, as if he had passed through endless time to the most prosperous era of the city.
Standing on the top of the pyramid, you can see the bustling crowds, see the city that has not yet been flooded by trees, see the soldiers decorated with gold ornaments, and see the beasts roaming the city.
"Here you are, then the challenge is about to begin."
"Ahh Before Ryuji could react, he turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
He noticed that there were three natives standing not far away.
They weren't the phantom of the Feathered Serpent they had seen before, but real people with shadows.
Looking up again, Ryuji noticed that the feathered snake was coiled behind them, staring at it with a playful gaze.
The three natives standing not far away were two young men and an old man.
The old man was dressed as a priest and looked like an Inca-style presence, holding an obsidian dagger decorated with gold in his hand.
One of the two young men was dressed in leather armor and held an obsidian two-handed heavy sword, the other holding something like a drumstick.
The one with the two-handed heavy sword is decorated with Aztec-style animal skins, while the one with the drumstick is decorated in the Mayan style.
It can be seen that this place has gathered the strength of the three major civilizations of South America.
The old man glanced forward at Liu Zhi, "Are you ready?" ”
Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded.
At this moment, the young man with a two-handed heavy sword stood up, walked directly opposite Yanagi, took a pendant from his neck, and threw it on the ground.
Watching the beating sound, Ryuji noticed that in the midst of the drums, everyone in the city was coming in the direction of the pyramid.
Among these people, there are also some giant snakes that Yanagi encountered on the way to come.
The snakes got along well with the people, and the crowd did not avoid the snakes, but some children even climbed on the snakes, or ran around them.
"It's your turn." Seeing that Liu Zhi was a little distracted, the old man shouted.
Only then did Ryuji react, he saw the pendant that was thrown to the ground by the young man, and he understood the meaning here, and he threw the pendant he brought to the ground as well.
It was at this time that a hint appeared in front of Ryuji.
【Ding! If you choose to participate in the Kukulkan Festival, you will become a Kukulkan warrior and become the master of the city; defeated, it will become a sacrifice and serve as food for Kukulkan. 】
