The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sparse forest, gilding everything in the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It also includes a large temple nestled deep in the forest, with a Sumeru-like spire just protruding just a little above the forest, and farther on, a row of tall mountains covered in dense forest.

Everyone stood at the top of the stone steps, looking down at the overgrown grass, and everyone's expressions looked very surprised and shocked.

Yes, this is the world seen on the last level of the Jackpot Steps, with endless stretches of tall grass, interspersed with tropical trees, and then a jungle in the distance. It's not the same as everyone imagined.

Stern, in particular, of course, was a little disappointed: "This... Is it the reincarnation city that we worked so hard to climb up to find? ”

"That's good, we should be glad we got rid of that weird echo!" Anne said

"But unfortunately, the sun is also about to set!" Donnie only saw a golden afterglow in front of him gradually engulfed in darkness, the sky was already sprinkled with brilliant sunset, and a full moon hung in the eastern air.

"Professor, what are you looking at?" Stern noticed that the professor had climbed the last step and ran out into the tall grass on either side to find something. The stone steps are still covered with dense forests on both sides, and there are a large number of vines hanging in the air. And a large amount of elephant grass suddenly appeared on both sides of this place, almost covering the steps here.

"We can follow the ancient stone path that extends from this stone staircase, and we can walk a few kilometers further to reach the remains of a palace."

"How do you know?" Everyone asked in unison.

"There's a stone tablet that says a chronicle in Sanskrit."

"Except for the palace? What else does it say? "Stern actually wants to know where they are, so he can plan how to get out of Samsara City as soon as possible.

No, most of the psalms written on it are psalms of praise to God, with nothing of substance. But what I can tell is that they describe the forest in front of us as the last dwelling place of the Brahmanical forest. ”

"Forest-dwelling period? Did the Brahmins of the Angkor period still strictly follow the Indian Brahmanical outlook on life? Anne voiced her doubts.

"Yes, I began to wonder about the purpose of these brahmins in Stonehenge, and then they went to great lengths to build such an ancient path. Now I'm probably guessing that. ”

"What is the purpose? Didn't you say it was for the sake of sacrifice? Stern asked.

"Their purpose is not so simple, it may have something to do with a religious power struggle."

"You mean... Buddhism and Brahmanism! Anne suddenly remembered.

"Yes—" The discussion between the professor and Anne was abruptly interrupted.

"What?" Stern turned to Kanza and asked.

Kansa suddenly pulled the corner of Rastern's coat, pointed to the stone steps behind him, and said to him with a frightened face: "Be careful—behind—ghosts—there are ghosts!"

Everyone was suddenly startled by the English words that popped out of Kansa's mouth, and then they all looked down the stone steps, and then they heard a set of scalp-tingling sounds!

"Boom... Boom... Knock ......"

"What sound?"

"It seems that the extra echo has reappeared!" Downey was the first to react.

Anne muttered, "Didn't that voice disappear later?"

But at this moment, the voice became clearer and clearer, indicating that it was walking up the stone steps, approaching the top of the stone steps.

"Oh no, this thing is getting closer, whatever the hell it is, we've climbed up anyway, let's get rid of it first!" After Stern finished speaking, he quickly picked up an M16 and fired a machine gun at the darkness below the stone steps, and the rifle spewed out powerful firepower, even illuminating the darkness below, and the bullet shot seemed to actually hit something in the darkness.

However, only Stern can see all this clearly!

He shouted, "No, let's run!" ”

Several more shots were fired, telling everyone to quickly evacuate the stone steps.

"Where are we going?" Donnie shouted in a panic

"Go straight and go down the stone steps!" As soon as the professor finished speaking, he jumped down the stone stairs and landed on another stone staircase, which turned out to be the highest point of a trapezoidal stone staircase, and there were several steep stone steps below, but he could not see anything because of the tall grass in front of him.

"Hurry up! No time! We'll be dead when that thing comes up! ”

When everyone heard what Stern said, they immediately jumped down the stone steps, and then followed the professor, who fired a few more shots before jumping into the grass. Brisk followed the others......

"This grass grows so tall!" It was Donnie's voice, and everyone was hidden in the grass of the elephant more than two meters high, and they followed the professor forward as he focused on finding his way in front of him in the direction of the artificially paved boulder remnants under his feet.

It was already dark, and there was probably an unknown horror chasing them behind them, and everyone walked forward in fear.

"Sergeant, what did you just see at the stone steps?" Anne's voice came from the dim grass.

"Trust me, you won't want to know, it's dangerous anyway!" In the dim light, only Stern's Adam's apple fluttered, and his chest rose violently.

"Is it more dangerous than that monster octopus? Then why didn't we attack us when we climbed the stone steps? "Donnie was a little curious.

Everyone looked up the stone steps, but the others, including Donnie, didn't see what Stern said was extremely dangerous due to the light, and only a shadow could be glimpsed when Stern fired down.

"I don't know, but what would you think if I told you that I might be able to turn your worldview upside down after seeing it?"

Anne just wanted to continue to ask something, but when the words came to her mouth, she was suddenly pulled hard by Kansa, who happened to be walking behind him, and squeezed out a sentence in English in a very soft voice: "Shhh Be quiet! ”

Everyone but Anne heard the faint rustling sound of the grass on either side, the sound of something overpowering the grass, coming from far and near, and everyone felt a chill down their spines.

Stern immediately became vigilant, took out the gun on his back, turned his back to the others and looked around behind him, but now the sun was setting, and the light was so dim that he could not see anything but the black grass.

"That's... What's that? Isn't it just the thing under the stone steps that is following us! Donnie scrambled away from the grass in front of him as he pricked up his ears to listen.

As Donnie spoke, Kansa listened to the grass with his keen hearing, and kept whispering to Stern in Khmer.

"It's hard to say! But Kansa told me it sounded more like a giant creature. ”

Just when everyone was alert to their surroundings, the professor suddenly shouted happily from the front to the back, "We're almost at the ruins of the palace!" Hurry up! ”

At this moment, Stern took out his tactical lamp and shone on something wandering in the grass—

A huge swarthy body with a metallic sheen overwhelmed a large amount of grass and was rushing towards them!

"Run! Don't look back! Stern shouted hoarsely at the others as he shot at the unidentified creatures in the grass. At the same time, the others also began to rush forward, Stern originally thought that he could destroy the unknown creature with firepower, but now the monster seemed to be more than one, and there was a huge movement all around. And there were not many bullets left, and even he began to panic now, especially after experiencing the "close contact" with the huge tentacles in Stonehenge, he was even more afraid of such a huge monster! But how can he be compared to ordinary people, under his extremely strong psychological quality, he suddenly remembered that there is one thing that is not used - grenades!

As Stern ran forward, he motioned to Kansa to give him the backpack containing various weapons, and Kansa understood, slowed down and untied the backpack, and handed it to Stern.

But it was between the lightning and flint that a huge black shadow that was closest suddenly arched its body from the grass for more than ten meters! It also supports a large, proportional head on the body! And let out a series of terrifying whining sounds like a gale!

As if he had expected the monster to come out, Stern immediately threw a grenade at the monster, and the grenade fell on the monster in a perfect parabolic arc - boom!

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the meadow! The monster didn't know whether it was blown in two or hit hard, and its upper body fell heavily back into the grass. There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and it also attracted other monsters in the grass to scramble to the injured monsters! For a moment, the terrifying whine was incessant, mixed with a hoarse hiss......

Of course, the scene from the beginning of the explosion, including Stern, was not seen again, because they had almost fled into an even more mysterious and strange building......
