Chapter 53: The Ladder of the Sun!
After inspection, Fang Senyan found that there were even signs that the fire had been lit recently, which showed that the remnants of the Dubai people seemed more pious at this time, expecting the blessing of the gods to be their last ray of hope, but ....... Fang Senyan now had a vague inference and assumption in his heart, if his guess was not wrong, then it was likely that this was a dead loop, the more this ceremony was held, the more difficult the situation of the remaining Dubai Yans became
Although Fang Senyan was anxious and asked Mubenga to take him to find the Sun Ladder immediately, but Mubenga shook his head again and again, and kept pointing to the sky, obviously saying that the time had not yet come, and it seemed that he would have to wait for a long time. He slept quite heavily this night, but when he slept in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard some strange noises, and suddenly got up quietly and looked quietly.
I saw that Mbenga was not asleep, I don't know when a secret mechanism next to it was opened, and a hidden stone chamber appeared, in which a large amount of firewood was piled up, but Mbenga was constantly carrying a large amount of firewood to the stone pillars in the huge bonfire, and then preparing to light it
Fang Senyan was startled, and was about to stop him, but Mbenga's movements at this time were surprisingly fast, and suddenly, the raging fire immediately spread to the firewood, and it was estimated that there were already grease and other combustible substances in the bonfire, and a huge and magnificent torch was burned here
Mbenga turned his head to look at Fang Senyan, the look on his face was a kind of generosity for kindness, and a kind of crazy excitement, he stammered:
"The lighting of the altar, the signal, the flame! Dawn Sun Ladder, Gathering, Talent. Gulga appeared, after the break, I, revenge"
Mbenga's words were somewhat intermittent and fragmented, but the meaning of his words was categorical and unquestionable. The dazzling firelight illuminated his eyes, the fumigated heat was like the tongue of a giant beast on his face, Fang Senyan's heart couldn't help but gush out a fierce boiling feeling, he looked at the time, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, at most another hour, the sky would be bright. He couldn't say anything more at this point, sighed, and gave him all the rum he had left.
Mbenga laughed and drank the wine, while recalling some memory fragments in his drunkenness, and explained various matters that needed attention to Fang Senyan.
Gradually, the fire stopped. The east revealed the white belly of the fish, and the morning glow dyed the sky red, Fang Senyan's eyesight was good at this time, he had already seen that the exit of the opposite mountain was dense, as if it was an abandoned beehive, and from the exit there were people who kept climbing down, entering the ruins of the city below, obviously the remnants of the Dubai Yawang Capital Guard. It should be that once the flame is lit, they must come here.
When the light fell on the earth again, Mbenga took Fang Senyan to the platform behind the giant bonfire, and then aimed at a giant Ouroboros statue in the middle of the platform and knelt on the ground reverently. When the two of them stepped onto this platform, Fang Senyan still felt a slight sinking under his feet, obviously triggering a certain mechanism again.
Suddenly, two huge statues slid out from the left and right sides of the platform at the same time, these two statues looked particularly magnificent and burly, although they were also snake-headed people, but a huge eyeball grew on the left shoulder of one of the statues with two heads, and the eyeball could also play a role in focusing the daylight, and I saw a scorching ray from far and near, scorching the ground with gravel flying around, full of pungent scorching stench, aiming at Fang Senyan who was lying on the ground piously and the two of them came straight up...,
Fang Senyan was taken aback for a moment, and was about to get up and run away, but he was pulled hard by Mbenga and pressed to the ground, of course, it was not difficult for Fang Senyan to fight for his pull, but he thought about it and knew that even if other factors were put aside, Mbenga had not killed the enemy called "Gulga" at this time, and there was absolutely no possibility of suicide, so he suddenly calmed down and remained motionless.
The blazing focused sunlight roared, Fang Senyan's bare skin on the surface suddenly felt an indescribable scorching, and the flying rubble hit it and hurt, but just when the sunlight was about to touch and hurt the two of them, the light was suddenly flicked, moved to the Ouroboros statue and stopped, where its light shone, it was the left eye of the Ouroboros statue, if Fang Senyan escaped, he would be hurt by the light
Immediately afterwards, another statue was also concocted, focusing a beam of sunlight with a convex lens, just when Fang Senyan was still naïve to think that as long as he knelt on the ground and remained still, he would not be hurt, but Mbenga pulled him up and strode away......... Fang Senyan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, the person who designed this mechanism really had an extreme grasp of people's hearts
After the two focused beams of sunlight shone on the Ouroboros statue at the same time, the Ouroboros statue was unharmed, Fang Senyan suddenly felt the ground vibrating slightly, and then sank downward, feeling like taking an elevator. After sinking to the bottom, Mbenga still stayed on the stone platform that had been lowered, grinned at Fang Senyan, smiled innocently, waved goodbye, and rose up again.
Mbenga had already said to Fang Senyan that he would stay and fight to the death with Gulga, and buy time for Fang Senyan after the break, and the key points he knew about collecting the Sun Ladder had also informed Fang Senyan one by one, so he naturally left calmly at this time.
Looking at the figure of Mbenga leaving, Fang Senyan suddenly had a feeling, that is, it was likely that this was the last time he would see this simple, simple, and burly African man. What's more, the two of them have lived and died together for such a long time, and they can't help but feel a strong melancholy in their hearts.
But he shook his head, and immediately threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind, the one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, the closer he gets to the place of the Sun Ladder, the more dangerous it is Obviously, if Fang Senyan still dares to be half-hearted at this time, he will inevitably end up dying so much that he can't even leave any bones and dregs.
Fang Senyan looked around, it looked like a naturally formed cave here, but the light was not dim, the top of the cave was very high, at least seven or eight meters, and the spots on it were all basin-sized holes, and the sunlight could shine obliquely through those holes, but the wind outside could not blow in, so the temperature was at least seven or eight degrees higher than the outside, but a little water droplets would seep out on the wet cave walls, so it was not dry, but quite damp and hot. Along the walls of the cave were planted with plants that grew close to the ground, and these plants had flat leaves, glowing emerald green, with small white flowers.
According to Mbenga's instructions, Fang Senyan walked forward, and after turning left along the cave, he immediately saw that place.
The place that was considered a holy place by the Dubai sub-people, nay, even the former Dubai sub-empire
A place where legends hide the secret of human immortality
Altar of the Sun
Fang Senyan didn't step forward at this time, but looked around, and sure enough, he found that there was a faint layer of copper-green powder in the corner of the cave next to him, this powder was very inconspicuous, but it spread widely.
Fang Senyan flipped his wrist, and there was already an IMCO windproof lighter in his hand, and after it was ignited, he threw it on the powder, and the powder immediately ignited, but it was like gunpowder on fire, and it didn't emit any strange smell, but the temperature of the powder ignition was extremely high, and the lighter metal that Fang Senyan threw down showed signs of being burned. …,
The Sun Altar does not occupy a large area, at most it is equivalent to a conference room of sixty or seventy square meters, and the cave is quite clean for some reason, and the roof of the cave is about the size of a table, and the sunlight can shine in effortlessly.
It was clearly quite suitable for plant growth, and a large number of unknown greenery sprawled inside, some with small flowers, but a circular flower platform was built in the middle of the altar.
The plants in the flower stand are the ultimate goal of Fang Senyan's trip: the "Sun Ladder", which looks like a creeping plant like honeysuckle and grapes, and it seems to have thousands of branches, but in the end there is only one main stem.
The leaves of the sun ladder are wide and thin, and even have clear light transmission in the sun, the color of the leaves is colorful, like a flower, and its flowers are open in the gap between the leaves and the stem, just like osmanthus, small, faint, very inconspicuous. But there is an invisible, incomparably vigorous vitality flowing in it.
The flower platform is only seven or eight square meters in size, and the main material of the flower platform is that the gray-white human skulls are all open mouths and seem to be crying out frantically, as if there will be liquid oozing from time to time from the flower platform, which will converge to the mouth of the skull of the flower platform, and fall drop by drop to the bottom.
Such a strange and evil scene appeared in this clean, quiet, warm, and warm cave, and the contrast between the senses was also extremely strong, and it immediately added an indescribable evil feeling to this seemingly warm and bright place
Thank you for your efforts last week, 12 o'clock plus no less ......,
