Chapter 201: Ruins

Underneath the cyan flames, drops of tinder like wax oil fell down and disappeared into the shards of armor in the sand.

As the flames above shrank, the fragments of the armor below swelled, and when the flames shrank in a full circle, the undead armor reappeared in front of Leach.

Although he had known for a long time that the undead armor was not so easy to get rid of completely, because of the relationship between the previous undead armor that had not been restored so far, it still made Leach feel lucky.

However, in the case of being able to release the sword qi in advance at the fifth order, it is not so important whether or not the immortal armor can be completely completed at once.

However, for the current Leach, the burden of releasing sword qi was still a bit too much, and by the time he extinguished all the flames of the dozen or so immortal armors in front of him, he was already a little shaky.

It wasn't until he sat down cross-legged and began to regain his fighting spirit that Leach noticed that a black cyclone had appeared in the position of the dantian in his body.

When Leach tries to get a peek at what's inside, he is met with fierce resistance. And because he was not the slightest defense, the sudden appearance of the cold aura even slightly injured Leach's meridians.

Fortunately, he immediately gave up peeping into the cyclone when he saw that the opportunity was not good, which did not cause more serious consequences.

Although as long as he didn't deliberately provoke it, the cyclone didn't seem to be threatening or aggressive for the time being, but when Leach finished pranayama, he found that the cyclone was constantly absorbing the fighting energy in his body.

Although he only absorbed a trace of it, not even a dime, and it would not affect the battle at all, Leach still felt very uneasy.

Whether it was the cold aura that had disappeared strangely in his body before, or the cyclone that appeared even more cold and without warning, it was definitely not a normal thing, coupled with the recent abnormal changes in the black blade, making Leach feel that there were an unknown number of time bombs buried around him and in his body, and he might explode at any time.

In such a situation, he has no sense of security.

However, now is obviously not the time to worry about these hidden dangers, it has taken a lot of time to get these undead armor, and the ghost lizards that have been missing for a long time don't know if they are still in that cave, besides, these undead armors in front of them have only been used up to recover energy, if they stay here for a long time, they will still run out to find trouble.

After actually entering the cave, Leach realized that there was a cave inside.

After a short stretch of natural cavern, Leach and Saya came to a passage that clearly showed signs of artificial excavation.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage are carved with some murals.

As soon as he saw the mural, Leach thought of the unknown mural he had seen at the temple before, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look.

After a moment, Leach sighed in disappointment.

I thought that the murals here could explain the doubts left before, but after a closer look, Leach realized that the murals here were only painted with some decorative flowers, birds, and animals, and there was no story at all, let alone trying to connect with the murals on the temple.

Disappointed, the two continued to walk inside.

The passage was unexpectedly long, and fortunately there was no fork in the middle, which saved the two of them a lot of time.

Still, five minutes later, Leach saw a door with two huge stone carvings in the doorway.

To Leach's surprise, the two stone sculptures were based on Icaos.

"What the hell is going on?"

In Leach's opinion, whether it is the temple in the belly of the mountain or the unknown space under the desert here, it should have been excavated and built by the predecessors of the ancient relics for some purpose.

But now it seems that his thoughts have been shaken a little.

Judging from the devotion of Luoer and the others to Ikaos and the religious buildings in the place where they lived, the belief of the ancient relics in Ikaos must have been accumulated over the years, and it does not seem to have appeared recently at all.

With such piety, if the people of the ancient relics had built these two buildings, they would have built the statues of their true gods in the most honorable and conspicuous places.

But the fact is that the figure of Ekaos on the other side of the temple only appears in a broken fresco, which is more complete here, and is directly reduced to the existence of a gatekeeper.

Generally speaking, being placed in the gatekeeper's position, if not as lowly as a slave, is certainly much lower than the status of the master. In this way, the origin of this cave, or ruins, is very much to be determined.

With doubts in mind, Leach and Saya walked through the door.

At first, it was still pitch black inside the door, and with the faint light of the torches, Leach noticed that the two of them seemed to be in a labyrinth, and for some reason, a labyrinth would be built immediately after the gate.

Although he could pass directly from above, because he was afraid that the ghost lizard that had arrived one step earlier would sneak up on him, it was safe to be safe, and Leach still walked honestly with Saya.

The maze was not complicated, and it didn't take long for the two of them to get out, and they didn't encounter any traps along the way.

After walking out of the labyrinth, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.

It's a very open space, and there are oil lamps burning on the stone pillars that never seem to go out, and between the stone pillars, there are ceramic jars that are a man high, and I don't know what is inside.

At the end of the space is an extraordinarily large humanoid statue with its upper body hidden in the darkness.

The statue's right hand hung in mid-air, its palm clenched, as if something was missing.

Carefully avoiding the porcelain jars that they didn't know what they contained, Leach and Saya came to the foot of the huge stone sculpture.

Even if they were close, the top half of the statue still couldn't be seen, but to the right of the statue's feet, Leach found a secret door that had been opened nearly two people high.

After carefully checking the surroundings to see if there was anything missing, or if the ghost lizard was hiding nearby, the two prepared to enter the secret door to continue their exploration.

But as soon as Leach took a step forward, the slate under his feet suddenly sank.

Immediately afterwards, the originally open secret door was closed before the two of them could react, and there was a crisp sound of porcelain cracking behind them.

Looking back, the unknown ceramic jars had been shattered by the weight that had fallen from the stone pillar on the side, and some black unidentified liquid flowed out of them.
