【527】Altar of Flesh and Blood!
Once we entered the whirlpool, a powerful force enveloped us almost instantly, pulling us as if to swallow us up completely.
We didn't resist, because we were going to go into the inner maelstrom and find out. Since this force wants to swallow us up, it has left us with a lot of strength.
"Woo-"
Strangely, when we actually entered the inside of the whirlpool, we found that it was surprisingly dry, and there was hardly a drop of water to be seen. Faintly, I even felt a trace of the scorching fire elemental breath in the air.
I don't know how long it took, but my feet finally stepped on the ground, and when I looked closely, I was greeted by a huge space like a dry cave! Conservatively estimated, I am afraid that there must be as many as two football fields, it is hard to imagine that there is such a large underground space hidden at the bottom of the Yangtze River.
"Huh?"
Frowning slightly, Ling Feng carefully looked around, but finally swept his gaze straight to the southeast corner, and said with a look of surprise: "Look! There seems to be an altar over there! ”
"Altar?"
As soon as we heard this, Bai Wuchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and for the first time, we looked in the direction that Ling Feng was pointing.
Sure enough, in the southeast corner, about ten meters away, I saw a high platform like an altar.
It is said to be a high platform, but it is not very high, it is only three meters high, looking at its color, it seems to be built with very ordinary yellow mud, and the hot breath I faintly feel seems to be emanating from the "high platform".
"Let's go! Check it out! ”
Without the slightest hesitation, we couldn't help but run over, and as soon as we approached, the scorching breath we had felt before suddenly disappeared again. Instead, there was an extremely evil aura, and faintly, I even smelled a pungent smell of blood!
This is by no means an ordinary smell of blood, because, smelling this smell of blood, my head is actually dizzy, and my heart is abnormally depressed, directly covered with a shadow, as if there is something extremely terrifying hidden in the high platform.
However, with the two masters of Lingfeng and Bai Wuchang, I don't have too much fear. Up to now, we have basically determined that the "high platform" in front of us is indeed a temporary "altar".
Don't think about it, I also know that this "altar" must be inseparable from Boss Qi or the "Robe Brothers"! The other party should have used some kind of very evil sacrificial method, which opened up the "purgatory" node in a short period of time, and finally made the "Nine Infants" just now successfully cross the border.
"Something isn't quite right!"
Ling Feng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and while cautiously approaching the altar, he told Bai Wuchang and me with a serious face: "Be careful, this altar is definitely not simple, just the smell of blood emitted from it actually affects us!" As soon as you notice something is wrong, back off! ”
"Hmm!"
Nodding solemnly, in fact, there is no need for Ling Feng's reminder, and Bai Wuchang and I will never dare to take it lightly. Despite the small size of the altar in front of you, the fact that it is here is a testament to its extraordinary.
And the closer I got to the altar, the more intense the pungent smell of blood became, and at the same time as the Qi field opened, I couldn't help but quickly urge the "Yin and Yang Eyes" again, only to find that the entire altar was shrouded in a thick layer of black evil qi.
The evil aura was extremely strong, and in a trance, I even saw that there were countless unjust souls inside who were constantly howling bitterly, as if to say, "We died so miserably......
"Gollum ......"
Even though I was used to seeing big scenes, I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at this time, just in case, I almost subconsciously clenched the Thunder Sword in my hand again.
Although there are two masters, Lingfeng and Bai Wuchang, who protect me one after the other, but if something really happens, at the critical moment, I obviously have to rely on myself.
The "purgatory" node here is obviously completely different from the one found at the bottom of the Huaxi River in Qianyang, neither the existence of any guardians has been found, nor the stone tablet of the suppression node has been seen! And without the stele, there is naturally no "bloody mark"!
Of course, not necessarily, since there are already creatures in the "Purgatory" that have crossed over, perhaps, the stone tablet and the "Blood Seal" have already been destroyed by Boss Qi and others!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, my gaze stayed on the bottom of the altar, and I noticed that there was a trace of dried blood in the place.
And the strange thing is that it is the same trace of blood, but it shows two completely different colors. One is a blackish-brown color after the blood stains have dried up normally, while the other is an earthy yellowish color.
The two colors appear on the same dried bloodstain, but there is no strict boundary, but in a gradual "way". The closer you get to the altar, the more similar the color is to the earth, and vice versa, the closer it is to the normal black-brown!
"Strange ......"
Muttering in a low voice, I couldn't help but subconsciously squat down, carefully scraping the blood on the ground with a dagger, and put it in my nostrils and sniffed it gently.
It didn't matter what I heard, but I couldn't help but be startled on the spot, and quickly stopped Lingfeng, who was about to ascend the altar: "Wait a minute! It seems that this altar is made entirely of human flesh and blood! ”
"What!"
As soon as they heard this, Ling Feng and Bai Wuchang's faces couldn't help but change drastically, and they returned to my side as soon as possible. And I quickly slashed the altar with my dagger!
As it turned out, my guess was almost entirely correct, and almost as soon as my dagger pierced into the muddy altar, a stream of black blood with a strong fishy smell flowed out of the incision. Pulling it down further, my dagger even brought out a few pieces of broken bone the size of a fingernail!
"Bastard! I can't spare these beasts who have lost their conscience! ”
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was suddenly furious, even though he knew that the other party was a "cult", he did all kinds of evil. But we never imagined that they had become so mad that they directly forged the altar in front of us with human flesh and blood!
Obviously, the owners of these flesh and blood were all directly ground into meat paste by them before they were alive!
No wonder the entire altar was shrouded in a thick evil aura, such a tragic death, the deceased must have accumulated monstrous grievances! Once the altar is cast, all these grievances come together into one thing, and naturally something terrible happens.
And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that this terrible thing has already happened, and the reason why the previous "Nine Infants" were able to cross the border is obviously that the altar in front of them has worked!
"That's not right!"
Just as Ling Feng and I gritted our teeth and scolded Boss Qi and the "Robe Brothers' Association", Bai Wuchang couldn't help but suddenly frown, and said with a look of surprise: "Look carefully, although this altar is full of evil, it is not as terrifying as we imagined!" Moreover, all the resentment was on the surface of the altar, and it did not escape at all, as if something inside the altar was fighting against it! ”
"Oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Lingfeng and I quickly calmed down, and before we could take a closer look, even Xia Wuren couldn't help but float out of my body, and said with a calm face: "Lao Bai is right!" There must be something in this altar that is holding back this resentment! ”
"From the 'Nine Infants' to the cross-border, it has been at least a quarter of an hour now, and there has been no movement on the 'purgatory' side! If the nodes of 'purgatory' have really been completely opened, how can they miss this good opportunity with their hearts? ”
"Makes sense!"
Nodding slightly, Ling Feng seemed to agree with their statement, and I hurriedly said: "What are you doing so much, what kind of situation is it, let's destroy this altar directly, otherwise everything will be clear!" ”
As I spoke, I raised the Thunder Sword in my hand and was about to slash open the altar with one sword!
"Stop!"
Seeing this scene, including Xia Wuren, the three of them couldn't help but be startled at the same time, and among them, Ling Feng stopped me for the first time, and said with a serious expression: "Don't act rashly first!" Even if you want to destroy this altar, you have to find a way to surpass these undead first! Otherwise, once such a strong evil aura escapes, it will not be so simple to solve it at that time! ”
As he spoke, he had already taken out all kinds of talismans and seals and materials needed for the formation from the Qiankun bag, and arranged them around the altar. Lao Bai also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and even Xia Wuren couldn't help but surround him, pointing and pointing from time to time.
Probably considering Xia Wuren's identity as the "Evil Fu King", for most of the opinions he put forward, Ling Feng and Bai Wuchang actually accepted them humbly!
And I, who had nothing to do, continued to study the black blood that flowed from the altar.
For the sake of prudence, of course I didn't dare to touch the black blood directly with my hands, but dipped some of it with a dagger, and then I used the Qi field to carefully sense it.
"Huh?"
Looking at the black blood on the tip of the dagger, suddenly, a very absurd thought suddenly flashed through my mind. The heart said, if I drip my own blood into this, what kind of subtle changes will happen?
