Chapter 29 The Altar of Light

"Hide!" Dustwind shouted at me. Then he jumped out and blocked the skull head-on, only to see him use his knife to hold the stick smashed by the skull, and kick the skeleton's leg bone, but the other skeleton slashed with a knife, and the dust wind kicked it down with a sweeping leg, then spun low-waisted, took a step back, turned over and threw out a dart, directly cutting off the skeleton's neck, and the skull rolled next to me, and the teeth were still clucking and biting, so scared that I kicked it away. But the skeleton of this skeleton is still attacking. The other brothers also began to fight with the skeletons. Brother Dong didn't know when he actually took out a talisman sticker, and stuck it on the skeleton that hit him while fighting, but it was useless. Hurriedly shouted, "I'll go, this is not a zombie or a dumpling, and it's useless to paste charms!" ”

The situation of the other people is not much better, the skeleton seems to not die, and the skeleton will continue to attack if it is broken, which is very difficult. Thinking of this, I slapped myself in the face, thinking about it, how could the skeletons die, they are already dead. Wait, those points of light, I looked at the skeletons outside, and sure enough, there were a lot of points of light attached to the skeletons. This must be the key.

"The points of light, those points of light, remove those points of light." I yelled in the back. As soon as I looked up, suddenly a skeleton came at me with a stick.

There was a burst of gunfire that hit the skeleton, and due to the force of the bullet, the skeleton crashed into the wall and shattered to the ground.

"Be careful yourself, what kind of light do you say" Sister Yue glanced at me and continued to shoot the skeleton next to her with a gun.

"Find a way to remove the point of light, the skeleton should be controlled by the point of light!" I shouted.

"How's it going, you're talking about lightness." Brother Dong gasped and shouted, knocking out a skull with a single shot, and turned to dodge the attack next to him. One of the brothers screamed and was knocked down, and then several skeletons actually bit him. The other brothers rushed to the rescue, but fortunately the injuries were not serious.

What to do! In a little anxious, I saw the bones scattered all over the ground, some of which had spots of light on them, and those bones were actually slowly moving to put together, so I quickly moved them away. Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind behind me, and then I was pushed to the ground, and when I looked back, it was dusty wind, and I blocked the skeleton that attacked me with a knife, he was covered with sweat, frowned, turned around, and grabbed the skeleton's cervical vertebrae with his hand, and with a click, the skeleton fell off. You have to find a way to do it quickly! I took out my knife and tried to cut off the spot of light on the skull, but it didn't work, and the knife went straight through the spot. It was as if there was no longer a time and space, and then I fumbled around and found a flashlight, and it was still useless to shine a photo. Then he took out the lighter, turned it on, and approached the point of light, and suddenly the point of light quickly dodged, and the one who didn't dodge actually disappeared with a puff of smoke as if it had been lit.

"Fire,,, hurry up and burn it with fire." I shouted, "Use fire to disperse the light." ”

So, everyone started looking for something to burn. He lit it with a lighter and threw it in the middle of the group of skeletons, and then saw a swarm of light emerge and some smoke and burn off. But it couldn't last long, and after the fire was extinguished, another skeleton fell on the light again and rushed over. His uncle, since this is the case, then you are welcome.

"Give me the one you see in your spine!" I screamed, limped through the bones all over the floor, collected all the vertebrae, and threw them in the fuel pile. Then Brother Dong and the others also threw the broken vertebrae to me.

I'm here to see how you skeletons fit together without support? I saw that there was another one on the ground, and I picked it up and was about to throw it into the fire, when I suddenly felt that the bone was being pulled, and when I looked back, I saw a skeleton without a spine with its arm attached, crawling on the ground and grabbing this vertebrae with me. Damn, how can I give it to you! I kicked the skeleton on the head, but it was so strong that it wouldn't let go. I was in a back-and-forth stalemate with this skeleton, thinking to myself, I can grab the vertebrae with a skeleton, it's really special that no one has ever come before. It wasn't until the dust wind came and kicked the skeleton to pieces that I gasped and looked around, most of them were half-body skeletons swaying, not threatening.

"Not good!" A brother shouted.

I hurriedly looked up, and there were more skeletons running in the distance, "I'll go, are all the people in the ancient city coming, this, it won't last long." I shouted as I slowly stepped back to the stone wall.

"Now, what to do? There are more skeletons at the exit! I can't kill it! Brother Dong shouted and smashed it with fire.

"Climb up! Block! After Dusty Wind finished speaking, he took out the rope from his body, grabbed a bow and crossbow from his bag, took aim, and shot at the stone wall, and the rope flew out in an instant. I don't know where it hangs on it.

"Climb up? I'll go, it's too high! "I looked at the high stone wall, and my liver trembled.

"Cover me, I'll go up and explore the way first, and you will go up later." After speaking, I saw him jump, grabbed the rope, and climbed up with his feet against the wall, and it was not too much to describe him here as light as a swallow. And Brother Dong below and a few good players worked hard to force those skeletons at a certain distance. After a while, the dust wind came with a code, so Sister Yue climbed first, and then Brother Dong climbed up with me on his back, I really don't know if this rope can hold up.

After a while, Sister Yue lowered more ropes, and the brothers piled fuel under the stone wall and lit it, and then began to climb up as well. The skeletons were temporarily blocked by the flames and did not climb up.

Brother Dong's hand slipped several times, and I was scared to sweat. After climbing for a long time, I saw that Brother Dong was exhausted.

"I said Brother Dong, if you don't put me somewhere first, you go up, and the brothers below will take me up after they come up. It's dangerous for us to do this. ”

"You, you, don't speak, I, I'm running out of strength." Brother Dong is dying there.

Fortunately, Dusty Wind put another rope in the back and helped drag me up. After Brother Dong went up, he lay on the ground and gasped. Then the brothers below slowly climbed up. Seeing us lying there without moving, he suddenly shouted,

"Don't stop, hurry up, those skeletons are up too!!"

I'll go, so I hurriedly helped each other up with Brother Dong, and ran forward with Sister Yue, Brother Dong couldn't run because of his physical exhaustion, and was dragged forward by Sister Yue. The space in front of me was very dark, and the flashlight was shining in a panic during the run. Because I could only drag one leg forward, I was much slower, and the leg injury hurt even more due to the strenuous exercise. I didn't take two steps before I looked back, for fear of being overtaken. Seeing a large number of skeletons with light spots also climbing up behind me, I was even more anxious.

As soon as I turned around, I felt that my back was suddenly smashed, I stumbled, fell a dog eating, and screamed in pain, I thought it was over, and when I looked back, sure enough, some of those skeletons were throwing weapons at us, and one of them immediately ran in front of me, and the sharp knife in my hand was about to stab me. At that moment, a figure suddenly jumped up and kicked the skeleton away. I saw that it was dusty wind, and before I could speak, he grabbed my belt and ran forward, and I was almost carried along. I dropped the flashlight when I fell just now, and now it's completely discrediting the progress. Suddenly, I heard several people in front of me shouting, and then I only heard Dusty shouting - jump! I hurriedly asked, "How... Ahh Before I could finish asking, I felt like my feet were empty and I fell all at once.

I kept falling, weightlessness made my mind blank, I felt like I was falling for a long time, and suddenly I was caught by something, just when I wanted to look up, I suddenly felt that the clothes that were hanging were torn, and then it fell again, and then it was hung again, and I wanted to grab it with my arm slightly, but the wound hurt, I let go of my hand, and it started to fall again. Suddenly I felt a tightness around my waist, and then I began to shake, and when I looked up, I saw that it was dusty wind, and I don't know when I tied a rope around my waist. He carried me around several times before he finally reached the ground.

"Crazy, crazy, you're awesome, thank you." As soon as he let go, I fell to the ground. The pain choked back another word of thanks, and replaced it with "Your uncle!" ”。

At this time, there is only one concept in my head, fortunately it didn't fall in a straight line, otherwise I would have seen Hades, although it hurts a little, but the pain proves that I am not dead.

After rolling on the ground for a while, I sat up slowly, thinking to myself, they also fell, I hurriedly shouted, "Brother Dong, Sister Yue,,, where are you." Brother Dong,,。 ”

"Grass, grass, I seem to be on top of you,"

It was Brother Dong's voice, and the dust wind shone it off with a flashlight, and sure enough, he was hanging on a protruding tree root. At this time, I realized that there were many protrusions on this cliff, including tree roots and stones, and I should have been caught by these protruding things just now so as not to fall down at once.

"Xiaocao, is that you?" Sister Yue's voice came from not far away. Then I saw a few black shadows jumping a few times on it.

"Yes, Sister Yue, come here."

After a while, I saw Sister Yue and several brothers coming over, and several of them seemed to be injured. But it does not affect walking.

"Sister Yue, are you okay, I don't seem to have seen the skeleton come down."

"Well, no, we should be safe for the time being." Sister Yue also looked at my body to make sure I was not injured.

"Hey, Xiaocao, don't talk about it yet, get me down first." Brother Dong shouted from above, looking at him as if his feet were hanging. So he hung upside down and swayed, like a sausage.

"I'll do it." After Dusty Wind finished speaking, he jumped in two steps, grabbed the nearest rock wall in one fell swoop, and then shook it twice like a gymnast, and suddenly flipped up and jumped onto the root of the tree where Brother Dong was hanging. He stood on it carefully.

"I said dust wind, you pull me... Ahhh Before Brother Dong could finish speaking, Dusty Wind slashed directly at the root of the tree with a black knife. In an instant, the root of the tree shattered, and Brother Dong fell, and with a bang, he rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

"Dustwind, your uncle, you want to fall and kill me... Oh my mother,,It hurts me to death... "Brother Dong has been screaming on the ground for a long time.

Sister Yue went over and kicked him and said, "Okay, let's go." At that height, it's not dangerous to you. ”

I hurried over to help Brother Dong up.

"I'll go,,, you guys, I don't have any sympathy at all, or Xiaocao is good to me, I'll go, my ass."

In the midst of Brother Dong's complaints, we continued to move forward.

"It's troublesome, the original way out is completely gone, can you still hold on to the grass?" Sister Yue said as she walked, her face was very solemn.

"Sister Yue, we can only take one step at a time now." Brother Dong and I supported each other, and we were able to keep up with each other.

"I'm thinking, the road we just walked, we have been running forward since the top of the stone monument, according to my memory, we did not turn a corner, although it has fallen now, but we are still on this axis, if we follow the construction of the general ancient city, the important place must be in the center of this axis, so we first walk along the straight line and then go forward to see if we can find this important place. In the ancient city planning, the middle is positive, the middle is the symbol of power, the highest level, there must be more than one road to important places, and most of them can be connected from important places to the outside of the city, as long as we find other roads, we can go out. "I'm going to tell you what I think.

"Yes, Xiaocao, do you know a lot?" Brother Dong looked at me impressed.

"Actually, it's a university to engage in design, and there is a course dedicated to ancient cities, but fortunately, I remember a little bit, and I haven't forgotten it. I don't know if my assumption is correct, but that's all I have to do for now. I shook my head helplessly, I didn't think that the knowledge of the university would be used here.

"Maybe you're right." Dust Wind suddenly said.

I saw him stop and look ahead. Let's follow suit.

I only saw a tall stone platform in front of me in the distance, and the reason why I could see it in this dark space was because this large stone platform seemed to be coated with luminous paint, faintly fluorescent. And on the top of the stone platform, there seemed to be something shining light from it. The shape of the stone platform is a quadrangular cone, like a pyramid. So a few of us hurried forward. The closer I got, the more I felt that the stone platform was so high and so big. There are high staircases on all sides, and there are hundreds of them, leading to the top. This is too similar to the early pyramids.

"Yue, Sister Yue, don't you think this and the pyramid." I was amazed to say it.

"Yes, it's too similar!" Sister Yue looked around at the pyramid-shaped stone platform in surprise.

The brothers cautiously touched the steps and found that there was no response. So we had to climb the stairs so we could see what was glowing on it. The steps were littered with skeletons, some with their heads cut off, some stabbed into the chest cavity with swords, and the skeletons ranged from normal human size to tall giants. Broken jars, and even something resembling a weapon, were scattered everywhere. It is conceivable that all wars in the world are the same tragic, either you die or I die, is this a war between humans and giants? What exactly they are fighting for is unknown.

After climbing to the stone platform, everyone was tired enough. When you rest in place, you will look around. The top of the stone platform is surrounded by four thick pillars, and the pillars are carved with typical *** patterns, but it is not clear how high the pillars are, because it is pitch black above. And the glowing thing was located in the ground in the middle of the stone platform, a very small hole. Although the hole is small, the light emitted is very strong, and this beam of light shines upwards like a pillar of light, but it is not clear where it can shine.

"Is this the most important place in this ancient city?" I stood on the stone platform and looked around, because the stone platform was facing the light. I can get a vague view of the ancient city here.

This ancient city is very large, unlike the Central Plains buildings, here are full of collapsed flat-roofed buildings, and some areas of the buildings are slightly taller, with thick stone pillars similar to those in Egyptian palaces, and unique patterns carved on them, is it the ruler's palace? From the high platform under our feet, countless natural winding paths extend to carve the rich cultural fabric of this ancient city, and the paths are like veins that connect each building, and behind each building, thousands of years of stories, religious beliefs, and disasters are slumbering. There are also some public buildings and sites that can be recognized, such as breeding houses and empty gathering places, and you can imagine the prosperity of that time. I searched my sight, and sure enough, I could vaguely see four roads that were slightly wider leading into the distance.

"Look, there are four roads leading outside, let's discuss which way to go... I looked excitedly at the compass, trying to determine the lower position. Finally there is hope to get out.

However, when I found that no one was paying attention to me, I felt strange and looked back at everyone.

I found that Sister Yue was holding a notebook and looking at the stone pillar next to her, and there seemed to be something recorded on it. Dusty Wind kept staring at the sky. The rest of the people and Brother Dong were lying on the spot of light studying.

"Brother Dong, do you think there will be gold in here, so bright." A brother asked

"You stupid, gold doesn't shine, there must be night pearls in it, and it's either super large, or there are a lot of them, otherwise there can't be such a bright light."

As he spoke, Brother Dong pulled out his knife and began to find gaps around the hole to pry. I hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Dong, what are you doing?" I don't know what is down there, it's too dangerous! ”

Brother Dong didn't stop the knife, "If there is danger, it's been detained for a long time, what is this?" It's so bright, I think it should be a pearl of the night. Dig it out and take a look. ”

Suddenly, a flash of light flew by, piercing the light hole, and everyone was so frightened that they retreated and sat down on the ground. If you look closely at the ground, it turns out to be a dart of the dust wind.

"Don't move! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! Dusty Wind glared at Brother Dong and the brothers with murderous eyes, already holding the black knife in his hand. I've never seen him look at his own people like that.

Sister Yue's subordinates were frightened, and they stood up and prepared to reason with Dustwind. "I said you, what do you mean... Before he finished speaking, another flash flashed, and the man's hat flew out.

"Don't make me say it a second time! I don't want to kill! Dustwind's eyes were even more fierce.

"Stop! Ah Niu, you come back to me! Hear no! Sister Yue shouted. The frightened cow quickly ran back. Pick up the hat and stop talking.

I quickly limped to the middle, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone is on their own, the madman said he couldn't move, it would definitely be dangerous." ”

"If you're in danger, just say it. Hmph" Brother Dong muttered, and also honestly left the light hole, and began to wander around.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, I wiped my sweat and let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that Sister Yue was recording words. But I felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so I said:

"Sister Yue, how is it? What is written here? Otherwise, let's shoot it first. See when you get out. I found that there were four roads around. We need to look at which way to get out ... ”

"Little grass. Here, this seems to be the location of the photon! Sister Yue stopped suddenly, opened her eyes wide, and slowly turned her head to look at me.

I thought to myself, this is where the photon is? "That's, that's the altar?。。"

"The Altar of Light..." Sister Yue pointed to a few symbols on the stone pillar and read them out.
