Chapter 16: The Golden Altar
We climbed up like a parkour game under the fog, but we couldn't get any faster, and the pyramid-like hill seemed to be able to increase gravity, and every step was like a quagmire, and we lost our armor and were embarrassed.
In order to increase the speed, we did not hesitate to drop all the less important weights on our bodies, this poisonous mist seemed to be extremely corrosive, and I saw with my own eyes that one wrapped in the red mist quickly became fragmented, and the contents were scattered and melted on the ground. Fortunately, although this hill looks majestic, it is not very high, and the top of the mountain is soon in sight. But what happens after climbing to the top? Do you want to jump off the mountain?
I didn't have time to think about it, the top of the mountain had already arrived. It was a boxy platform, bare and without any place to hide, and the back of the mountain was no different from the front of the mountain, which had long been shrouded in red mist!
Nowhere to go!
In desperation, I raised my gun and opened fire on the snake in front, but this mythical creature was not invulnerable, many of them were torn in two by bullets, and after rolling and struggling on the ground a few times, they were corroded by the thick fog until only the skin shell remained, while the rest of the snake was completely unmoved, still firmly and persistently surrounding it.
At this time, I was standing in front of the platform, the red mist in front of me was less than a meter away, and there were even wisps of wisps winding around me, I used my gloved hands to drive away, but the carbon fiber finger helmet was corroded to the point of white smoke.
I hurriedly jumped on the stage, and everyone behind me stood in a row and shot at the Teng snake in the mist, only Xiaohua squatted behind and didn't know what he was doing!
This is really an unprecedented total crisis, after the lights went out, heaven suddenly became a dead place, and we standing here could not escape!
At this time, Xiaohua suddenly dragged me from behind, and I turned around, but he didn't say anything and stretched out his hand to me.
"What?" I'm a little baffled, do I want to get acquainted again when I'm dying?
"Gold!"
Gold? I thought about it for a moment, reacted quickly, took out the piece of gold dropped by the roadshow from my bag and threw it to him.
Xiaohua took it, lowered her head and didn't know what she was fiddling with, and in a few moments, she opened a door with a sudden force!
A black staircase appeared behind us! I shouted and pulled Xiao Kan over first.
All the people were surprised, no one thought that there was a way out, Wang Shanqi entered the passage by entering, followed by Gege and Erguotou, I pushed Xiaohua in, but Xiaohua said: "You can't close the door!" ”
At this time, the red mist had already surrounded him, and there were also Teng snakes that had climbed the platform, and I knew that it was useless to say more, so I raised my hand and killed one and got through the door.
Xiaohua then came in and pulled the door shut with a loud shout, and the passage suddenly went dark, and there was a chaotic crash on the door. Under the flashlight, everyone sat against the wall, especially Xiaohua was particularly weak, I patted him on the shoulder and turned to look at Xiaokan.
To my surprise, Xiao Kan didn't seem frightened, looked at me with a smile and said, "Didn't expect it, right?" I'm so lucky to have me around! ”
I smiled, knowing that the girl was afraid that I would be worried, so I didn't say anything more but touched her head.
Wang Shanqi suddenly sighed: "It's really unthinkable that there is such a mechanism!" ”
No one answered, so I asked Xiaohua, "What's the matter?" Have you been here? ”
"Of course not!" Xiaohua said breathlessly.
"And you know what this place is?"
"Well, it's an altar!"
"Altar?" I was a little strange how he knew it was an altar, but when I thought back to Xiaohua's identity, I suddenly felt that it was clear, wasn't King Kong the doorman? Altars are indispensable for security.
"But how do you know I have that piece of gold?"
Xiaohua shook her head, not knowing if it was inconvenient to reveal or if she didn't want to say it.
The passage was very narrow, about a meter wide and less than a meter and a half meters high, which was exactly the height that could not be bent, and it was dark everywhere like a sewer.
"Why is there such a virtue in your altar, and you are not so petite!" I was curious and wanted to provoke him to talk.
Xiaohua looked at me impatiently, "This is not the way for people to walk!" ”
It's not a way for people to walk, I was shocked when I heard him say this, and I inevitably remembered that there were human-faced lizards and snakes staring at each other outside, this is not for people to walk, is it for them to walk?
At this time, Wang Shanqi suddenly spoke, "This is the way for the gods!" ”
I felt more and more that Lao Wang was less of a scientist and more like a magic stick, "How do you know? ”
"Guess ......"
I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I closed my eyes and rested, the coolness of the stone under my ass seeping upwards as if it were alive.
"This place is so heavy in yin, and the stones are cooler than other places!" I touched the smooth ground and asked Xiao Kan, "Are you cold?" ”
"It's okay!" Xiao Kan also touched it, and suddenly sighed, "There's a mark here!" ”
I turned on my flashlight and looked at it, thinking in my heart that this tour group from Greater China is really pervasive.
Sure enough, there was a symbol on the ground, about the size of a wine bottle lid, saying that it didn't fit anything, like a beer bottle lid pressed on the ground and chopped off. It is worth noting that this symbol is not black, but a golden dazzling.
I took off my gloves and touched them. The edges are very rough, it should have been carved in a hurry, and it doesn't look like it took a long time!
Gege noticed us. Leaned over and looked at it, touched it, and said with a solemn expression: "This is not a symbol!" ”
"What's that?" I saw that he seemed to know him, and hurriedly asked.
Gege didn't speak, he picked his foot under the sole of his shoe and stomped on the ground, and when he lifted his foot, an identical golden symbol appeared on the ground!
"Is this what you stepped on just now?" I asked, pointing to the ground.
"It's not!" Gege took a knife and scraped it on the ground, "The non-slip buckle on the sole of my shoe is closed just now, and it is impossible to step out." What I wonder is that this kind of shoes was specially made by our company at the beginning of the year, and the anti-slip buckle on the sole was modified by ourselves, so it is said that there should be no other shoes with this kind of anti-slip buckle. ”
"You mean to say that someone from your company has been here before us?"
Gege had a very ridiculous look on his face, "Impossible, these shoes are ugly, they are only made for a special mission, no one likes to wear them, it's just that I only have a pair because I quit that operation halfway, and that group of people has long been wiped out!" ”
I felt as if I was listening to a ghost story, and my body felt even colder, but Gege continued: "Si'an, didn't you find another thing? The place is pure gold! ”
Gege slammed the knife into the ground and pulled it out, and after two or three strokes, he pulled out a small piece of metal, which was heavy in his hand, even if it wasn't gold.
I was startled, "Is this ground all pure gold?" ”
Xiaohua snorted at this time, "Of course! The entire altar is pure gold! ”
I'm really a little uneasy, how much does such a big mountain of gold cost? The miracles that I had seen in the past were suddenly inferior, and how could I say, "The love for gold is in the genes of human beings?" "I can't remember the original words, what special hiking shoes and any immortal secrets don't exist in my head, but I feel like I'm about to faint with my breath.
