Chapter 59: The Altar

Liu Minghao decided not to linger any longer, and before the hidden enemy appeared, he immediately left the valley and continued to advance, rushing to the Hamna Tower as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, they noticed that the three of Jonathan who were resting nearby did not know where to go, but fortunately the stone forest was not large and very sparse, and they followed the faint sound of talking to the middle of the stone forest, and saw that the three of them were gathered in front of a low stone platform, talking about something.

Of course, only Eve and Jonathan spoke, while O'Connor stood aside with his hands on his chest, looking helplessly at the excited Eve and the shining Jonathan.

Hearing the footsteps, O'Connor vigilantly clenched the long knife in his hand, and when he saw that it was Liu Minghao and the others, he relaxed and touched his nose a little embarrassed.

In this case, without saying hello, he acted without permission, naturally he couldn't say it, O'Connor raised his hand to his lips and coughed a few times, he originally accompanied Eve to find Jonathan, but he didn't expect to see the stone platform, Eve immediately left her original intention behind, as if she saw some rare treasure, and she couldn't pull it away.

After listening to O'Connor's explanation, Liu Minghao didn't say anything, walked behind Eve, and looked at the stone platform.

The stone platform is about three meters in diameter, it is already dilapidated, judging from the remaining lines on it, it should be a formation, surrounded by intricate runes, and six grooves, four of which are empty, and the other two are inlaid with two golden crystals, although they look dull in color, but you can feel the faint energy fluctuations in them.

Jonathan crouched beside the altar, knife in hand, absentmindedly perfunctory Eve's chatter as he struggled to pry the hedron in the groove.

"Haha." As soon as Liu Minghao approached, Jonathan suddenly let out a low cry of surprise, smiled and took the golden spar that had finally been pried off, and looked at it carefully.

"It's the Light Stone." Standing right behind Jonathan, Adesbay reached out and took the hedron in his hand, a little surprised.

The Holy Light Stone is a magic stone containing light energy, which has long been extinct thousands of years ago, and as far as he knows, what the Guardian Clan has preserved is the last Holy Light Stone left in the world.

"Ha, just listen to the name and know that it must be very valuable." Jonathan smiled, snatched the hedron back, put it away preciously, and didn't bother to speak, took the knife and continued to pry the hedron in another groove.

"How can there be an altar of holy light in a place like this?" Eve didn't seem to see the crowd coming, frowning at the lines on the altar and muttering to herself.

Alerted by her, Adesbay seemed to have thought of something, and walked over and circled the altar, and soon found an oval underneath the altar, painted with the mark of a three-headed bird.

"This is not an independent Holy Light Altar, it should be part of a large Holy Light Formation." Adesbay looked up at the terrain outside, frowned slightly, and said to himself, "Maybe this valley is the legendary place of the final battle." ”

"What is the Land of the End?" Jiang Jie scratched his head, puzzled.

Before Adesbay could speak, Eve came back to her senses, stood up and looked at Adesbay with wide eyes, "I have seen relevant records, it is said that thousands of years ago, the goddess of life and the god of the underworld fought for the dominance of Egypt, there was a great war, and that war was called the final war, because in the end the goddess of life won, the god of the underworld had to keep his promise and retreat to the netherlands to keep the land of Egypt from being ruled by darkness, and the establishment of Hamna Tower seems to be related to this war. ”

"No one knows the truth about the war, and there are only vague and fragmentary accounts of the oldest documents." Adesbay nodded slightly, "However, among the bone fragments left by the High Priest, there are many Holy Light Formations, and there is a brief description of this formation. ”

According to the information in the bone fragments, this large formation is usually used to purify high-level undead in a large area, consisting of twelve small altars distributed in different directions, relying on holy light stones to maintain their operation. Because of the long time, no one knows how to use this formation, and the extinction of the Holy Light Stone has also made the formation lose the cornerstone of its existence, and with the passage of time, it will naturally disappear into the torrent of history.

"If this is truly the legendary place of the end." Adesbay took out a prism and pointed out a few places around the valley, "These places should have such altars. ”

"In other words, if the damage to the altars is not serious, as long as there is enough Holy Light energy, these altars should be able to operate normally." Liu Minghao carefully looked at the directions pointed by Adesbay in the prism, and said thoughtfully.

"In theory, that's right." Adesbay didn't expect Liu Minghao to say this, he was slightly stunned when he heard this, and shook his head after a moment's silence, "But this possibility is very small." ”

Adesbay is not as optimistic as Liu Minghao, although the final battle only exists in legends, but the war between the gods can destroy the world, the tragedy of the battle can be imagined, just look at the degree of damage to the altar in front of you, you can get a glimpse of one or two, and most importantly, even if the altar is intact, it is almost impossible to find six holy light stones with enough energy to activate the altar.

After thousands of years, the energy contained in these holy light stones has long been exhausted, and even if there is still residual energy, it is very small, which is not enough to activate the altar, especially in this space full of the power of the undead, the holy light energy will be greatly consumed, and it is already a big surprise to be able to see the holy light stones that still contain some energy.

"According to the path we are on, there should be no altar, and whether or not we can purify the undead is of little significance to us." Jiang Jie looked at the projection in the prism and found several possible locations where the altar might exist, just in the opposite direction of their journey to the Tower of Hamna.

At this moment, Jonathan finally pried off another piece of holy light stone, and couldn't help but hehe Zhile, obviously not hearing everyone's discussion, not knowing that the seemingly golden spar in his hand would soon be wiped out due to the exhaustion of energy.

"Silence." Liu Minghao suddenly let out a low snort, turned around, and looked at the empty stone forest vigilantly.

Jonathan's laughter slammed into his throat, his face flushed, and O'Connor pulled Eve behind the trio.

Jiang Jie and Adesbay's faces also changed slightly, and they took out their respective weapons, and the three of them occupied three positions respectively and put on a defensive posture.

A creepy sound rang out in the valley.

"Here we are." Liu Minghao said in a deep voice, the air in front of him twisted slightly, and the jackal-headed man holding the long knife was summoned again. Xiao Hei was also released by Jiang Jie, and his body quickly swelled and stretched out, protecting the three of Jonathan.

Several black shadows shuttled between the stone pillars like lightning, and at the same time, with that strange sound, dozens of skeleton soldiers surrounded by black qi suddenly appeared at the edge of the valley, quickly approaching the stone forest.

A black shadow stopped on the stone pillar next to the altar, and Liu Minghao finally saw its true face, it was actually a petite beast with a body covered with pitch-black scales, and its appearance resembled that of a jackal.

The little beast's eyes were huge, bulging out of its sockets, glowing with a faint blue light, its slender tail was curled upside down and swaying slightly, and it suddenly opened its mouth to let out a long howl with a certain regularity, and several other small beasts immediately echoed the same weird and piercing whistling.

As the whistle sounded one after another, dozens of skeleton soldiers immediately brandished the bone knives in their hands as if they had received an order, and strode towards the altar.

The skeleton soldiers moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were close to the front, and the jackals stood in front of them, wielding the long knife in their hands, fending off the skeleton soldiers who rushed to the front.

The jackal's strength is great, the long knife is both long and heavy, and the wind is whistling when it dances, with the power of ten thousand jun, and when it is slightly hit, the bones and tendons are immediately broken, which is extremely lethal.

As soon as they saw them, several skeleton soldiers were beaten to the point that their hands and feet were broken, and they staggered to the ground.

The eyes of the little beast squatting on the stone pillar flickered, and it opened its mouth again to let out a whistling sound, and the remaining skeleton soldiers suddenly retreated, bypassing the attack range of the jackals, and quickly dispersed, killing Liu Minghao and the three from both sides.

These skeleton soldiers are extremely flexible, the bone joints can be rotated at will, Liu Minghao raised his hand to open the bone knife that came straight to the knife, the skeleton soldier's wrist suddenly flipped around, and the bone knife immediately slashed from the bottom to the top, it was simply impossible to prevent it, and for a while, he couldn't help but be a little in a hurry.

Fortunately, the number of skeleton soldiers is limited, and Liu Minghao and the three of them also know how to be flexible, and try to lead the skeleton soldiers towards the jackals while dodging, and after a while, most of the dozens of skeleton soldiers were wiped out, and broken bones and broken arms were scattered all over the place.

At this time, it was obvious that the skeleton soldier was under the command of the little beast, Liu Minghao grabbed a bone knife, split a skeleton soldier with his backhand, and at the same time rushed forward sideways, stepped on the ground with both feet, jumped up suddenly, raised the bone knife in his hand, and slashed at the small beast on the stone pillar.

The little beast let out a low hoarse scream, and suddenly turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

The bone knife slammed down on the stone pillar, breaking into several pieces with a clatter, and shattering. As soon as Liu Minghao's feet landed, he only felt the wind rushing behind his head, and he hurriedly rolled out on the spot.

A small beast scurried behind him, slammed down on a stone pillar, and in a few dodges, leaped to the top, baring its teeth and letting out a menacing roar.

Looking at the several inch-deep scratches left on the stone pillar, Liu Minghao was also slightly startled, as long as he dodged a little slower, it was estimated that the skull would be scratched out of a few holes with one claw.

At this time, with the efforts of Jiang Jie and Adesbe, the skeleton soldiers had been smashed to pieces by the jackals, and before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, the scales around the small beasts rose slightly, and they let out strange cries again.
