Chapter 213: On the Altar
readx;? In addition to Freeman, everyone else also saw this scene, and the shock in their hearts was no less than him, almost everyone had heard of the legends of antiquity, but really standing in front of this crystallization of ancient wisdom was a completely different indescribable feeling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A similar feeling was experienced when Alan was looking up at the immortal firebird at the foot of the South Mountain, and at this time, the others were just as shocked and stunned as he was at the beginning.
Perhaps it is only by standing in front of such miracles that human beings truly feel what is great and what is small.
"Wake up, everyone, it's too hot in here, I, Freeman, Andre, Elvis, and Alan will go up together, and the others will retreat to the river and wait, and we'll call you up if necessary." ”
The first to recover from the shock was the head of the regiment, Huo Yining, and everyone was shocked by what they heard and saw along the way, as if they were in a dream, only Huo Yining and Allen could still maintain a relatively awake consciousness.
The head of the group, Huo Yining, knew that the purpose of this mission was by no means to travel and admire the miracles, so he couldn't help but remind everyone that there was still a mission to do. However, for the sake of prudence, Huo Yining did not arrange for everyone to ascend the altar together, after all, there was a lava river more than ten steps wide in the middle, even with the ability of his high-level swordsman, he could not leap such a large span, and the altar was designed like this, who knows if there are any mechanisms or dangers lurking on it. If something happens to the people on it, they are trapped on the altar or the altar sinks, then there are people who can find a way to save themselves outside, and the worst of these people can also escape by themselves and bring everything that happens here to the outside world, otherwise there will be no one alive and no corpse will be tormented.
Hoinen was initially only going to go up with only three regimental commanders and four historians, but later he called Allen, mainly because of Ailu's resourcefulness along the way, which might come in handy at a critical moment. Later facts also proved how wise Huo Yining's choice was, otherwise none of them would have been able to escape from this.
Commander Huo Yining explained some arrangements to the rest of the people again before the operation, although the underground world is silent at present, and there seems to be no danger, but the vigilance still cannot be relaxed in the slightest, and he is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, as a palace guard, he knows this truth best. And the hundreds of kneeling zombies in the square always seemed to be an ominous shadow hanging over his heart, making him feel deeply uneasy.
Therefore, whether it is out of professional habits or a keen sense as a high-level swordsman, Captain Huo Yining needs to arrange the vigilance work very carefully, especially the protection of the stone bridge, if there is really any enemy to attack everyone, then whether the enemy comes from inside or outside, the stone bridge is their only attack path, and the stone bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is equivalent to a moat for the enemy, which is also an important reason why Captain Huo Yining concentrated everyone in the middle of the underground river and the lava river.
After arranging everything below, Captain Huo Yining took the other four people to embark on the last journey of this mission, and it is also the most critical, whether this mission will have greater gains depends on the third-level altar in front of him.
The five of them quickly crossed the stone bridge over the lava river, and a huge wave of heat swept up from below, making it seem like they were in a forged iron furnace, and it seemed difficult to breathe.
The group circled around the first step, and there was nothing foreign on it, except for a thick layer of dirt covering the boulder slabs.
The historian Freeman even had Hoynin stab the boulder twice with his sword, which is no different from ordinary rock in terms of appearance and hardness, but why was it able to float on top of the magma without sinking?
There seems to be only one explanation, and that is that the entire altar is hollow, and if so, there must be a passage that leads directly to the inside of the altar, so is there more secrets hidden in it?
With this question, everyone climbed to the second-level altar, and this level was no different except that the diameter was only half of the first-level, so everyone did not stop, and went directly to the third-level.
The third step is already the top of the altar, and the most conspicuous and interesting thing on it is the two red crystal pillars that are seven or eight steps high, which are truly priceless. If you can get some of this thing and move it back to the imperial capital, there is almost no doubt that everyone on this trip will be promoted to a fiefdom and promoted three levels in a row.
So at this time, except for Alan and Elvis, the eyes of the others became a little greedy and fanatical.
In addition to the two crystal pillars, there was a long stone platform in front of them, on which were also stacked with dusty items, including a long sword, a chest, and a pile of black and rotten things that had no idea what they had once been.
The head of the regiment, Huo Yining, walked first to the long sword, it was a long sword with a sheath, the scabbard was black in color, there were not too many ornaments on it, and I didn't know what material was used to make it, and the appearance was still intact to this day.
Captain Hoynin didn't study the scabbard too much, but brushed the dust off the scabbard, and then slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard with a hint of curiosity.
"Choke!"
A sound like the roar of a dragon and a tiger echoed throughout the underground space for a long time, and at the same time, a white-purple lightning bolt streaked across the dark red sky. Even though the people under the altar were attracted by these visions and couldn't help but turn their heads to look up, at this angle, they were obscured by the edge of the altar and couldn't see what was happening.
"Shhh
Looking at the long sword with purple stars in his hand, Huo Yining gasped and was completely stunned.
This is actually a rare treasure mixed with celestial star sand, and this kind of sword will have more than three in the entire Yus Empire, and at this time, there is actually one in his hand.
Huo Yining gently entered some Dou Qi, and after a clear sound, the sword body suddenly burst out with dazzling yellow light, and in these yellow rays, dots of purple light were scattered among them, and slowly moved with the light, like a galaxy in the sky.
"No wonder it's called the Tianxing Stone, it really has its charm. ”
Captain Hoynin stroked his sword lovingly, letting out a burst of admiration, but next to him, the historian Freeman was studying the box.
From the pattern and handiwork on the chest, Freeman can conclude that this is an antique from hundreds of years ago, which should be an early object of the Holy See, but by this time the box has long since become rusty and unrecognizable, and it is no longer as beautiful and delicate as it once was.
With Andre's help, Freeman finally opened the almost rusty chest, and a steaming halo bloomed from the mouth of the chest. ps: I recommend another new book "The Real Kepler 452b", Oriental Fantasy, please support it, I believe the new book will bring surprises to everyone![bookid=3604248,bookname="The Real Kepler 452b"]
