Xiao Yan once again observed the huge space that was still extending underground, at least as far as the light of the torch in his hand could reach, there were no more images and notches on the walls of the nearby passages.

He frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Laikaon, who was following him, and whispered, "Why does this place give me the feeling of an altar?" ”

"There was no clear distinction between human settlements and sacrificial areas at that time, and it was very normal to live in the front and worship in the back. Or there is no need to make a fuss about the sacrifice in the place where you live, as shown in the French petroglyphs, where a large amount of the sacrifice is painted directly on the cave wall of the living quarters. ”

Xiao Yan frowned and asked, "Do you think where the human habitation place will be in this empty cave?" ”

"Deep, look at those places on the stone walls, where they should live."

Calisto walked up and pointed to the depths. On the walls of the stone caves there, there are some shadowy things, which look like individual small caves, or duli houses, but the distance makes Xiao Yan and them can't see the details of these houses at all, they can only say that Xiao Yan didn't care about them before, and when he cared about these small houses, he was surprised to find that about 100 meters along this passage is the largest part of the entire cave space. In this huge cave that has been fully expanded, a large number of small houses spread along the surrounding stone walls to the top of the mountain, leaving only a huge clearing in the middle of the cave, which looks like the stars and the moon.

"Cavemen? Dark Jing Spirit? Lecaon looked at the houses and couldn't help but ask. Calisto walked over to a small room and pushed it, whispering, "The room is very sturdy, like a whole piece of stone, the problem is, this house is a little too small, at most, two-thirds of the size of an adult human being." ”

"Dwarf", this was the first impression that popped into Xiao Yan's mind, he turned his head to look at Laikaon and asked, "Have you ever seen a hobbit?" I mean, the Lord of the Rings or something? ”

Lecaon frowned, touched his head, and replied, "You mean to say that part of the dwarven notes in the Lord of the Rings?" They kept digging until they dug up an incredible guy and even the entire tribe of dwarves died at the hands of that guy? ”

Xiao Yan nodded, pointed to the location of the strange image at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Maybe that's why we saw that image." The people here want to tell the future that they have unearthed a demon! ”

"Their bodies are a little oversized and look like they're not at the right scale, and while scale seems too harsh for ancient humans, I don't think they should at least portray humans the size of demons. If they really were two-thirds the size of a human being, and they did dig up a demon. ”

Calristo said as she tried to open a closed door, one of dozens of small houses closer to the empty spot in the center, which appeared to be much larger, the door of the room, made of black sè stone, only closed. However, as Calristo continued to exert force, the door that was too old finally could not resist the impact of the female trialist's powerful force, and it shattered with a click, and then slowly fell to the ground.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but have a toothache for Calisto's simple and crude archaeological method, but soon, this feeling was dispelled, and in the room that was knocked open by the female trialist, a large number of small human bones continued to roll out.

"Temple, sacrificial temple."

Lekaon shook his head and whispered, "It's not a matter of scale, it's a perspective view, I mean, the one outside is a perspective from above to below, so the size of the human looks huge, and the demon looks like only a little bit." ”

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "It seems like this, but it's really very strange, why do I think that these humans seem to have a symbiotic relationship with this demon, and even say that these humans are constantly going deep into this place in order to dig out the demon?" ”

"It's really symbiosis, and that's been it from the beginning."

Lekaon casually flipped the already fragile bones, not caring that they were in large numbers and turning into pieces, and continued, "The people who first entered this cave found the demon's rhizome there, and they fed on that rhizome. Don't ask me how I know, don't ask me how people at the time were able to eat demon rhizomes, I'm just making a hypothesis that seems to best suit the current situation. As more and more humans grew, the demon rhizomes that started were no longer enough, and they had to dig inward to get more food. In the process, a large number of creatures were mutated by the radiations of demonic rhizomes, and rushed out to confront humans, but they were all subdued and killed by humans. Including the black snake we just saw. ”

Turning over the bones again, Laikaon said, "The excavation went on until it came to an end, and they found the body of the demon's rhizome, and then worshipped it as a totem, even at the cost of his life. However, this practice has had very dire consequences. ”

"The demon corpse began to partially resurrect due to the large amount of human blood and limbs, and after that, it was an infection that spread throughout the cave, and the infected humans automatically jumped into the mouth of the demon corpse one by one and turned into new fertilizer."

Xiao Yan thought of the infected mutant beings outside, and asked in a low voice, "Just like those guys outside?" ”

Instead of answering the question directly, Laikaon looked up at the top of his head and said, "The corpse of the demon that was originally dead has been resurrected again, which is why the humans disappeared in this cave, and the outside world knows nothing about this cave. ”

Xiao Yan let out a long breath, thinking that this demon rhizome was also like a giant tree in the first place, maybe Laikaon's speculation was right, maybe it was wrong. But it is absolutely impossible to rule out that this demonic rhizome was once the object of primitive human worship here, and this premise is best evidenced by the overflowing bones piled up in those rooms.

"Look at these lines, Parin, what do you think these lines can do?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, walked to Calisto's side, glanced at the carved patterns under the bones with the help of the light, and whispered: "Part of the magic pattern, but I don't know the specific meaning, but how can these magic patterns be mastered by ancient humans?" ”

Calristo didn't speak, but motioned for Xiao Yan to look around, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the surrounding darkness, and asked, "There are many more such lines?" ”

"This ground is a huge magic circle, activate it, and you will see an incredible scene. As you can imagine, joining this circle is fully activated, and the entire ground is shining with light, and you are above the Milky Way underground. ”

Calisto looked at the bones and said, "The blood and limbs of these humans are probably the key to activating this Pang ** array. Look at these neck wounds, and the scratches on the ribs. They were all badly injured and thrown into this small room, and the people outside closed the door, leaving the sacrifices to die a painful death inside, and the blood flowed along these magic patterns, which eventually activated the magic pattern effect. However, I don't know what the effect of this activation will be. ”

"Resurrecting demons, summoning demons, there are so many things that these magic patterns can do."

Xiao Yan said, and he began to walk towards the most zhongyāng of the entire cave along these magic patterns, where the magic patterns were more delicate and repeated. There were some of the magic patterns that Xiao Yan had learned from Wei Zhongxian, but more of them were like random spells to him, and he didn't understand the meaning at all.

At the same time, Xiao Yan vaguely heard that in the center of the cave, there seemed to be something calling to him, the sound made by that thing was very strange, Xiao Yan couldn't hear what it meant, but somehow, his body was a little uncontrollable after hearing this sound.

As Xiao Yan moved, under the light of the beating torch in his hand, the magic patterns on the ground were also undergoing various changes. Xiao Yan walked all the way, those demon patterns and shadows were turbulent, as if they had been activated, and one by one the monsters that turned into black and swarthy followed Xiao Yan silently. These patterns did not cease until the most important point of the entire cave, and here, Xiao Yan finally saw the source of the voice that called him, which was a strange dot.

A dot that is neither a sculpture nor a picture, to be precise, this dot is completely different from its surroundings, although it seems to be embedded here, but at the same time it seems to float in the air, and there is a considerable distance from all the surrounding environment.

Xiao Yan didn't rashly touch this dot, he had a feeling that even if he wanted to touch this dot, he couldn't touch it. This dot is not part of the real world, but is connected to another world. Perhaps, this is the prototype of the so-called access point, and the access point of the World Tree in the real world is most likely what it is now.

"What do you see?"

Calisto's voice suddenly came, this voice made Xiao Yan slightly startled, turned his head to look in the direction of Calisto, and suddenly found that he didn't know when it began, the distance between Calisto and him had widened to a considerable extent. And this distance is still growing, as if something is pulling him behind Xiao Yan, constantly moving away from Calisto's side.

Xiao Yan turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, the air around the dot was undergoing a vortex-like change, and while these vortices made the entire dot more unpredictable, a large amount of gas was swept in, and finally fell into the dot and never heard again. (To be continued.) )
