Chapter 43: The Colossus

But looking at the appearance of these things, they are the same as those altars, they have not been passive for a long time, have the aborigines of this planet all disappeared after leaving those buildings? Where exactly did they go?

Twists and turns along the way, there was a canyon abyss on the way, I don't know if it was dug out or it was originally like this, but looking at the depth, it should be naturally formed, after all, Twilight really can't figure out what is the use of digging such a deep pit out.

After a short journey, Twilight noticed that there were some buildings on the cliff in the distance, all of them made of stone, and although they looked beautifully worked, they were undoubtedly made of the same materials as the altars, as Twilight had already seen several collapsed buildings.

There is rubble everywhere, there are collapsed stone pillars everywhere, and I don't know what it is, most of the buildings have been weathered by the erosion of time, and the surface of these buildings is covered with moss.

Twilight continued to move on, not using its own lighting along the way, although the environment was still dark, but the cracks in the mountains above always had sunlight penetrating through, giving the place a faint illumination, at least normal vision was no problem at all.

Twilight Star traveled all the way, seriously doubting that these mountains were directly hollowed out by them? A large number of buildings are scattered throughout the mountain, and there is a steady stream of water flowing here, like a city hidden in the mountain.

Many of these buildings are built in mid-air according to the mountain wall, and there are waterfalls flowing next to them, like a fairyland.

However, the fate of these people didn't seem to be something that Twilight should be concerned about, and he was constantly searching around in the hope of finding the last key, and he was afraid that if he made a big move, the buildings would collapse.

It looks like it's been unmaintained for an unknown amount of time, and the mountain has been hollowed out, so what if the movement is a little bigger, and the collapse of some buildings is a trivial matter, what if the mountain collapses? After all, this place has been hollowed out, and it has fallen into disrepair, and it has been blown by the wind for so long.

It seems that this is supposed to be a living quarters, and after searching here for a long time, Twilight still hasn't found anything like an altar or a key, but he has seen a lot of various living utensils, but those things that have broken with a little force also make Twilight understand that his previous worries are really not superfluous, and this place may collapse at any time, because the time that has passed here seems to be more distant than he thought.

This seems to explain why when he was outside, there was no sign of the activities of those ancient people except for the altars and towers, not even some remains or utensils, it was because of the long time, all weathered or simply buried.

Looking at the various buildings around him, Twilight Star felt that it was not possible to find it so slowly, after all, this place was too big, the size of a small city, and he looked around for a moment, deciding to find something that looked more special or more majestic.

Don't they believe in God? Then you should look for something related to this kind of thing, as well as things about their rulers, these are all clues that you know, but it is not very reliable to find rulers, after all, isn't their king a generation? And that person hung up not long after he first ruled the world, otherwise they wouldn't have fought among themselves for that brand, right?

Then this city can't be built when the ruler was alive, after all, no matter how you look at it, you can't even think about it for hundreds of years, so you can only focus on finding things related to religion or belief.

With a clear goal, he soon saw something related to it in a nearby corridor, which was a relief, which seemed to be a very tall and majestic human form, but with no facial features, and a blank face, only an object on his forehead, which looked like one of his eyes.

Twilight shook her head, feeling that this idea was unreliable, since they didn't carve their facial features, then it must be because they hadn't seen the god they imagined at all, so naturally they didn't know what the god looked like, so they could only not carve their faces and blur it, so the thing on their foreheads naturally couldn't be something like eyes, looking at the shape, it seemed to be pentagonal, was that the key they were looking for?

After looking at the relief, Twilight continued to search and eventually came to a large building built on the mountain wall, which looked like a palace.

Since those people did not have a clear ruler, how could they spend a lot of effort to build such a palace that had no practical effect at all, it can only be said that it must have something to do with their beliefs.

This is an unusually ornate palace, the hall of the palace has many frescoes and reliefs, the content is nothing more than their beliefs and so on, Twilight Star is not interested in this, he is looking for the key he needs, although there is no here, but he found a door in the depths of this hall, this tall door looks very delicate, and there are two guards with spears on it as if guarding some sacred being.

Twilight raised her guard and cautiously pushed the door open with a hint of anticipation.

With a creaking sound and scattered dust, the door slowly opened.

Twilight walked through the door, stunned by what he saw.

In the hollowed-out belly of the mountain, a huge golden statue stands here against the mountain wall, the top of the statue is a completely chiseled mountaintop, a large area of sunlight shines down, the whole statue shines brightly, and a sense of sacredness and majesty fills the entire mountainside.

The only fly in the ointment may be that the statue has no facial features, and only the forehead of his face is inlaid with a large pentagonal purple gem, which is estimated to have used up all the gold ore found by the ancients on this island, otherwise their own buildings would not be decorated without gold.

Twilight Star glanced at the large open-air hole on the top of the statue, feeling helpless in his heart, this mountain does not know where it is, it is really strange that he has not found anything in such a big hole before.

Twilight's location was a platform facing the giant statue, which was also built on a hill and was so high that it was almost at neck level.

He walked some distance forward, stood at the front of the platform, and carefully looked around the surroundings, first of all, where he stood, the platform was very wide enough to stand a hundred, and there were pavilions on both sides along the mountain wall, forming a semicircle, which half-surrounded the statue, and the pavilion was equipped with round stone pillars, and the pillars were topped with transparent crystal balls.

Twilight counted five of them, two on each side, and the crystal ball in the middle seemed to be the largest, and what the purpose of these things was was not something he could guess for the time being.

After throwing out the aerial pavilions, Twilight looked at the statue, as he could see the statue more clearly from where he was standing.

It was only then that he realized that the statue was seated cross-legged, which meant that the height of the statue was half as low as he had expected, but even so, the statue was still large and imposing.

The statue's arms are placed on the knees of the legs in a palm-up position, which has to be said to give Twilight the illusion that this is a Buddha statue, especially as it seems to be made entirely of gold.

Under its two palms, there is a circular pit, which looks like a pool, but there is no water in it, but outside this pool is a shallow puddle, and it is not known where the water comes from, which also makes the environment very humid, suitable for the growth of moss, and the surrounding walls and the ground and the arms of the statue are covered with moss.
