Chapter 382: Discovery

The long wind is howling, the sky and the earth are hazy, and the dead air gathers and scatters and flies, like clouds and mist.

Fang Di's team and the young mage, a total of five people, killed on the top of the altar one after another. Everything around them fell silent, and the death golems that had previously hindered them all the way to the top of the altar vanished.

The top of this altar was thousands of feet above the ground, and the wind howled, stirring a dead and desolate atmosphere.

"Yikes!"

A low cry rang out. The scene at the top of the altar made Tina and Yue Caiqing suddenly see it, and they let out an unexpected soft cry.

The top of the altar should be more than 1,000 zhang in size, also square, empty and flat, upholding the usual color of the buildings in the death labyrinth, and the ground is blue and brown and black, which looks very cold and has a terrifying sense of evil.

The area of more than 1,000 zhang at the top of the entire altar, only in the central position, there are several stone platforms, shaped like stone beds.

There are nine stone platforms, each of which is more than ten zhang long and rectangular. On each stone platform, there are countless mysterious sacrificial texts engraved with concave or convex, densely covered with stone platforms of ten zhang long.

What is terrifying is that on the nine huge stone platforms, the death gas is steaming, and the secret power is circulating, not empty, but each lying a corpse!

There were nine corpses in total, almost all of them dead.

Some of the corpses had their mouths wide open, their faces distorted, and some of their limbs were unnaturally broken, apparently they had struggled extremely fiercely before they died, but they were bound by some force on the stone platform and could not break free, which caused their limbs to break.

The death of these corpses was so horrific that it was heart-wrenching.

Fang Di and the other cultivators were bold and heroic, and of course they would not be frightened by the tragic situation of the nine corpses, and they walked forward at this time, and soon approached the vicinity of the nine stone platforms.

The stone platform is ten zhang long. The width should also be about three zhang, but it is not too high, only to the height of ordinary people's chest and abdomen.

After several people approached, they could clearly see the scene on the stage when they looked at each other.

The corpses lying on the nine stone platforms, the flesh and blood around them. All of them were extracted by a mysterious force, making the nine corpses all skin and bones, with a dark complexion, and they looked like they had been dead for a long time.

Their faces were hideous, and the moment before they died was not only extremely painful, but also full of unwillingness.

Surprisingly, their corpses were close to decay, but the armor or clothing on their bodies were bright in color. It is not stained with dust, and it is as clean as new.

The long hair of Fang Di and the other five people danced in the wind, walking around the nine stone platforms arranged in a circle, everyone looking at the nine corpses in front of them and every detail above and below the stone platform.

"Ahh

Tina's beautiful eyes widened, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, a sad look welled up on her face, and her big eyes flickered. stared fixedly at the corpse on one of the stone platforms.

The corpse was tall, more than a head tall. Surrounded by golden-colored armor. Although the person is dead, there is still a feeling of majesty like a lion. It is conceivable that when he was alive, he must have been a strong man with a strong bearing and a strong body.

This corpse was the only one of the nine corpses on the stone platform that had no pain on its face. And only the angry ones.

It seems that when he came to this stone platform, he knew his fate, and the struggle was in vain. Therefore, until the moment of death came, there was no sad look on his face. But he held a square, human-head-sized hammer tightly in his hand, on which lightning swam and coiled, thunder and thunder swirled, and the symbols of the rules were bright and uncertain.

Obviously, this is a powerful weapon with the power of thunder. The people on the stage seem to have tried to sacrifice this thunder hammer before they died, trying to smash the stone bed under them and gain freedom.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed.

Fang Di walked up to Tina: "Do you know this person?"

Tina whimpered a little weakly: "Well, it is a person from our Twelve Main God Family, a cousin of mine, one of the most outstanding three or five people in our family's generation, his strength is strong, he has reached the peak of the fourth order, and he can't imagine dying here"

Fang Di said: "The nine corpses on the stone platform should be the first batch of people to enter the maze of death, the maze has not been officially opened at that time, they encountered great danger as soon as they entered, only Guo Dongshan successfully retreated, and the rest of the people fell into the maze, life and death are unknown." It is now certain that they are all dead. ”

Yue Caiqing also leaned over, hugged Tina comfortingly, and said, "The first batch of people who entered the maze of death are all the leaders of the young generation, led by Guo Dongshan, and it is said that there are many people. There are only nine corpses here, what about the others?"

Fang Di's gaze cast into the distance, as if he could see the entire death labyrinth outside the altar range, and said slowly: "There is more than one such altar in the death labyrinth, the others should be on another altar, and they are all dead. ”

"What is the purpose of this altar?"

Tina gradually restrained the sadness on her face, but her face was very pale.

Fang Di turned his gaze back to the nine stone platforms in front of him, and muttered: "These nine stone platforms obviously treat the people placed on them as sacrifices, extracting the vitality of the nine people on the platform and even the blood around them. ”

And again: "It looks like some kind of evil sacrificial ritual. They died slowly when the vitality of their bodies and even the flesh and blood of their whole bodies were exhausted, and the fear at the moment before death and the unwillingness and helplessness that they knew that the flesh and blood were passing, but they could not stop it, were the reasons why they struggled desperately and their hands and feet were unnaturally distorted. ”

"They died painfully. ”

The mage young man's voice was low, and he was also standing beside a stone platform, staring at a corpse on the platform, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, as if he also knew the dead on the platform.

At this time, in Fang Di's thoughts, the voices of Anubis and Buster suddenly sounded.

Buster's voice was crisp, and he said quickly and urgently: "This altar is so rich in death qi." If we can urge our Altar of the Dead to be born and refine this altar, I am afraid that the Altar of the Dead will immediately advance. ”

Anubis's voice was always cold: "Lord, the core qi of this altar is full of the true meaning of death, and I can sense that in the depths of the altar, it is the power of the gods that sleeps!"

Fang Di's expression changed slightly, and he asked back in his thoughts, "Are you saying that there is a god sleeping in the altar or the remains of a god?"

"No, it's not that there is a god sleeping under the altar, or its corpse. Rather, after the altar extracted the sacrifices on the nine stone platforms, a wave of death energy was formed. This energy, through the altar, was sent into the depths of the labyrinth of death, where there may well be a truly sleeping deity!"

Anubis's voice rang out again, it was clear that it sensed something. There is also an unprecedented caution in the tone.

The next moment, Anubis's voice resumed: "Lord, this is the scene I have found through the surface of the altar and found inside it. ”

At the same time, in Fang Di's consciousness, a picture from Anubis appeared.

Suddenly, an irrepressible shock swelled up in Fang Di's heart.

There is a large space inside this altar that is hollow, and it is dark inside, and there are even nine stone platforms. There are also nine corpses on display on the stage.

The nine corpses have existed on the stone platform for I don't know how many years, but none of them are decaying, and the bones are as clear as jade, exuding a bright and warm brilliance, and even contain faint power fluctuations.

The bones are like jade, immortal!

This is a level that can only be attained by at least seventh-order cultivators, who use the power of heaven and earth to blend with every subtle part of their body. The qi that was integrated into the bones of the Great Dao was no longer a mortal body. This is so that after death, the bones do not decay.

Originally, the altar was divided into two places, inside and outside, with a total of 18 stone platforms.

The nine stone platforms outside are sacrificed to ordinary powerhouses, and the nine stone platforms inside the altar are obviously sacrificed to peerless powerhouses.

This discovery was particularly shocking, and the seventh-order cultivators were all used as sacrifices?

So who will ultimately be the recipient of this altar sacrifice? Could it really be a god? Otherwise, how could he bear the sacrifice of a seventh-order cultivator?

What's even more frightening is that around the nine stone platforms inside the altar, there are still many skeletons scattered around, the number of which is more than a hundred, and the air inside is lifeless. Fang Di was at the bottom of the altar before, his hand touched the pedestal, and he heard the true sound of death coming from the altar, it was because inside this altar, the death qi had gathered too strongly, and it had evolved into an amazing fragment of death rules, breeding the divine sound of the rules of heaven and earth, and chanting in a loop inside the altar.

The most surprising thing is that the more than 100 skeletons inside the altar are all shimmering, crystal like jade!

This made Fang Di fall into a deep sense of shock and doubt, could these bones be the bones of a seventh-order cultivator, there were actually so many seventh-order cultivators who had become sacrifices in this altar!?

Fang Di squinted his eyes, his brows furrowed deeply, and his heart jumped suddenly, what kind of place is this death labyrinth?

Soon after, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked Buster in his thoughts:

"How's your progress in the underworld?"

"All going well, the undead army has now reached the middle of the underworld, and is now at war with the Hades"

Buster's response quickly fell silent, as if the battle on the underworld was quite fierce, and even Buster had to deal with it, and he had no time to deal with it.

In the end, Fang Di didn't try to break open this altar and go deep into it to check the bones of those peerless powerhouses, nor did he say anything about the hollowness inside the altar.

Buster's proposal to let the Altar of the Dead be born and refine the altar in front of him was also vetoed by Fang Di.

His consideration should be more cautious, the death labyrinth is full of secrets, if he dares to refine the altar in front of him, whether it can succeed or not, not to mention, it is more likely to cause unpredictable changes, then the gains outweigh the losses.

Tina cautiously tried to put away her cousin's body on the stone platform.

When carrying the corpse, no other accidents occurred, but it only took a slight touch of force for the corpse to turn into flying ashes, dissipate with the wind, and there was nothing left.

Tina finally burst into tears, tears rolling down her cheeks, and she reluctantly put away the remaining armor on the stone platform and the weapon called the Thunder Hammer.

The things that could be taken away from the other eight corpses were also put away by everyone, and after they went out, they could report the death of these people, and the things they put away could be returned to their families.

Then Fang Di and the others left the altar.

When they came up, they landed on the altar from the side, in the wrong direction, and all of them were attacked one after another. As I walked down at this moment, I found the front of the altar, and walked down a majestic staircase with tens of thousands of steps, and the way was very calm, and I didn't encounter anything like the Death Golem.

As he was walking down, Fang Di suddenly turned his head like a whirlwind and looked in one direction.

Standing on the high place on the altar, he can clearly see that in the distance, in a certain labyrinth passage, there is a figure wearing silver armor, walking through the labyrinth, the figure seems to be very familiar with this labyrinth, walking calmly, the body is disillusioned, can pass through the labyrinth walls.

In a moment, the figure vanished, entering deeper into the labyrinth.

Although they were far away from each other, Fang Di could see at a glance that the figure was Yue Tianxiong.

Why is he able to walk on the ground in this dangerous labyrinth, moving far faster than anyone else? The position where it appeared was more than the depth of the maze that Fang Di and the others had reached at this time!

More than ten minutes later, when Fang Di and Qu Luo and the others converged, they were still thinking about the matter of the altar and Yue Tianxiong who had a seventh-order powerhouse inside and was used as a sacrifice.

Yue Tianxiong: What does he know about the depths of this labyrinth, will he know more?

Fang Di turned his head to look in the direction where Yue Tianxiong had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Then Fang Di led the team to set off again and began to march deeper into the labyrinth.

There are still countless labyrinthine passages ahead of them, and it seems that there will be no end to eternity. This time forward, intentionally or unintentionally, Fang Di chose the passage where Yue Tianxiong had disappeared before

And when Fang Di led the team to fight in the death labyrinth, the five square domains outside also faintly revealed some signs of imminent big changes.
