Chapter 713: The Second Statue
Endless wilderness, steep mountains, and obsidian steps that lead up the cliffs.
One second in the distance, the next he was scrutinizing the golden corner peeking out from under the broken stones, he remembered that this was Arthur's masterpiece at that time, and Barekas was a rough man who liked to go straight, and he bombarded the steps with a gun in front of everyone, thus revealing the mystery of the ruin mountain.
The snowfall could not linger on the black stone steps, and so did the Kander who floated on them, and he folded his arms, and instead of moving around, he walked up the stone steps. The revisit to the old place made him feel miserable, but the memories of the past made him feel a touch of warmth, and the contradictory emotions were entangled in his mind at this time, painful and happy, and he could hardly restrain himself.
He picked up the long steps, dozens of steps at a time, and if Arthur was alive now, he might be relieved by that, Eddie couldn't help but think to himself. At least he was able to defend himself now, in an unlikely way that might have frustrated the loyal security captain and complained about the point of his travel companions.
He arrived at the large platform on the mountainside several times faster than the previous time, and like the first time, he looked out over the desert from the top of the cliff.
Everything in the distance is covered in white, but there is a simple and hazy beauty.
At this time, Eddie couldn't help but feel in his heart, the wheel of fate continued to rotate in the sky, it had been more than a standard year since the last time he saw this painting, but the scenery in front of him that had not changed all year round made this experience feel like a short moment.
Everything now seems to have never happened to him, and the terrible memories in his mind are just absurd nightmares to laugh at.
But now he is alone, alone. Only the snow that was flying in the sky turned into a faint cloud of smoke and dust when it was about to touch the ground.
Heading through the oval-shaped cavern between the smooth mountain walls into the heart of the ruins, he walked through the corridor-like caverns, the stone walls mottled with multicolored light as he passed, and fell silent as he walked away.
At this time, Eddie suddenly noticed that the aura that wrapped his whole body was rapidly dissipating, which couldn't help but surprise him, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he couldn't teleport in a small space, so he had to keep urging the air flow of the cave ** to supplement it, and speed up his pace.
This uncomfortable feeling didn't last long, and when the golden light at the end of the cave appeared, Add immediately felt the pressure around him drop sharply, and wisps of golden soft light mixed with the air enveloped him, making the originally invisible aura outside his body become brilliant.
As he stepped out of the cavern, basking in the rich glow of the vast cavern, Eddie felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if a long-traveled traveler had returned home, and the feeling of a lost child being embraced by his parents was so intense that his eyes moistened and he sobbed inexplicably.
Eddie took a light step and paced in mid-air in the impassable valley of relics, countless lights and shadows wrapped around his feet, making him feel like he was stepping on a layer of soft clouds that could carry things.
Suddenly, he felt the scent of a creature in the pool below, which immediately reminded him of the previous description of Amalthea hunting whales by the Fishskin Man at the bottom of the valley.
The harsh natural environment made the lower plants outside still struggle in the arduous road of evolution, but there was already a relatively mature life here, he was curious in his heart, and couldn't help but throw a wisp of spiritual sense into the pool.
The creature swam quickly, judging by its size, it should be the kind of water beast that jumped out of the pool last time to hunt for food, it seemed to have only the simple thoughts of hunger and predation in its thoughts, but it was obviously quite spiritual, as soon as it realized that the upper body of the spirit immediately struggled to escape into the depths of the pool, it swam fast, and soon escaped from Eddie's perception range, so that he had to withdraw his spiritual sense.
Thousands of years of desertion, billions of years of loneliness, in the majestic and magnificent ruins of the mountain, Eddie, wrapped in golden light, was flying through the sky, he crossed the entire valley, and finally stopped in front of the four huge statues.
The situation in front of him was the same as when he left, the two statues with their own visions were opened by him and Xiaofeng Tianyi, the pedestal under the statues was open, revealing the portal of the black hole, but the other two were untouched.
Add raised his palms slightly, sending his body to the level of the statue's face, and in this magnificent ancient hall, his small body could not help but contrast with the huge statue.
Add looked closely at the third statue in front of him, and saw that its protruding eyes seemed to be staring at him. The statue looked like it had six arms, each of which seemed to be making a different movement, and the statue's face was lifelike, and there was a strange serenity and composure on the face of the Kande.
Like the other statues, there was a small handprint on the pedestal underneath it, unlike the first two statues, which had never been opened, and the handprints shone faintly reddish like the breath of a living creature.
Add closed his eyes and began to analyze the statue in his mind, and he found that the structure was extremely complex, with unpredictable energy absorption, sophisticated transmission, and other things that he simply could not comprehend.
There is no hidden space behind the statue, but a solid mountain wall, which Arthur has fully confirmed with a detector.
Today, Add is confident that he will be able to pull these huge monuments out of the embedded stone walls, but he is not sure how to enter the so-called 'four-dimensional space' without opening the mechanism.
As for the handprint that opened the ruins under the pedestal, he had tried it at the urging of Lilac last time, and more than once, and the taste of peeling off his armor and exposing his palms to the harsh environment was so unpleasant that his entire arm was swollen and numb after returning to the Voyage, and it took a whole night in the medical cabin to recover.
The four statues hide their own different secrets, just like Lilac said, these ancient civilizations that have long since disappeared obviously have a clear purpose, and since they can foresee the future, they must have chosen the person to open the statue, but if so, is it really a statue corresponding to a Kande? Add wasn't sure about that.
Maybe it's worth trying again, he thought to himself.
