Despite having never explored ruins, Leach knew that the unknown liquid coming out of the ceramic jar could never be a good thing, or else it wouldn't have to block the road.

Seeing the black liquid in a single piece, spreading towards the stone statue, Leach and Saya recovered from their surprise and hurriedly looked for a switch to control the secret door nearby.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and in the panic, Leach didn't know what mechanism he touched again, and the oil lamps on the stone pillar fell to the ground with a snap.

The next moment, the entire space was filled with blazing flames.

It wasn't until his vision completely turned into a sea of fire that Leach realized that the black liquid was actually fire oil.

At the beginning, Elich and Saya were able to endure their skills, but as a wave of heat hit and the scope of the sea of fire became larger and larger, the two could no longer look for the mechanism of the secret door with peace of mind.

Helpless, the two had to give up and continue to fight with the secret door, and instead climbed above the stone statue.

It stands to reason that in such a semi-confined space, the higher the climb, the higher the temperature should be, and the more turbid the air should be, if there was really no other way out, Leach would not have made such a decision. But when the two of them climbed up a little bit along the texture of the stone carving, they were surprised to find that there seemed to be an invisible film around the stone statue to protect it, and the air was not only not turbid, but even the temperature did not rise too much.

Since there was no danger for the time being, Leach was in no hurry to leave, and in such an abnormal situation, there must be some secret hidden in this huge stone statue.

But when Leach tried to use the black blade to carve a hole in the stone statue, he was surprised to find that the stone statue was unexpectedly hard, and the black blade could not leave a trace on it.

"Isn't this a stone?" asked Leach.

However, both the tactile and visual effects all reflect that the material of the stone statue is indeed just ordinary rock, and in Leach's impression, there is no special material that resembles rock, which makes Leach wonder.

"Leach, let's go up there and take a look first!" Seeing that Leach was in a posture of not being able to figure it out and not leaving, Saya hurriedly said, "Don't forget what we're here for, if you delay here, the ghost lizard will definitely run away, maybe it's a little late now!"

After being reminded by Saya, Litch remembered that their original target, the ghost lizard, was still hiding in a corner of this ruins, and slapped his head suddenly, not bothering to study the material of the stone statue, and quickly accelerated his climb.

Leach thought that even if there was anything strange on the stone statue, it would definitely be at the highest point, but when the two of them climbed to the chest of the stone statue, they unexpectedly found another entrance.

Although it was a pity that they could not see the true face of the stone statue, in order to hurry, the two of them entered the stone statue through the entrance.

The torch had been placed by the two of them next to the pillar closest to the statue, but then the series of changes happened so suddenly that they both forgot to pick it up.

I thought I would have to travel in the dark this time, but when he entered the statue, he found that the interior was very bright.

The newly discovered passage was just over a man tall enough for two people to walk side by side, but the surrounding stone walls were not made of ordinary rock, but a rose-red crystal-like mineral.

The reason why it is said to be similar to crystals is because these minerals emit light, and it is because of these light sources that the passage is not completely dark.

Leach tried to touch the stone wall, and found that not only was it not hard and cold as expected, but it had a slight feeling of warmth, and it even had a certain elasticity!

"What the hell is this!" Leach couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, he always felt that the minerals he had thought seemed to be the organs of some kind of living thing, otherwise there could be no elastic minerals at all.

Saya, who also discovered this, was also white-faced, but there was a sea of fire outside, and the two could only continue to explore inside.

Fortunately, the passage was not long, and the two did not suffer much psychological torture.

After leaving the creepy tunnel, the two of them came to a room with a strange altar in the middle and also frescoed around it.

It's not for nothing that the altar is weird.

Generally speaking, the so-called altar is to express awe and worship for some great being, or simply to place something extraordinary, but no matter what the purpose, the common thing is that it must be higher than the level on which it is located, and it is generally built in the shape of a platform.

But the one in front of him, Leach wasn't even sure if it was an altar or not, because it was sunken downward!

And in the very middle, there was a narrow groove, and if it weren't for the lack of any gaps in the ground, Leach would have thought it was a door that opened another hidden entrance.

Because he has been fooled once, he doesn't have much hope for the murals around him, whether it's Leach or Saya. After inspecting the surroundings of the "altar", the two turned their attention to the mural.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the two of them actually have an unexpected gain.

Although it is not the same thing as the frescoes seen in the temple before, the frescoes here are not the meaningless decorative frescoes.

There are only two murals, one on the left and one on the right, and because they are very large, they can be seen very clearly.

The one on the left depicts a group of people dressed in extremely rudimentary clothes such as animal skins and leaves, bowing to a particularly tall figure in front of them.

For some reason, when he saw the giant with a very blurred face in the mural, Leach couldn't help but think of the huge stone statue whose appearance was also unknown.

The mural on the right is related to the "altar" in the center of the room.

In the fresco, the surroundings are full of kneeling people, and in the center is the "altar", next to which a man holding a sharp object is holding his hands high, trying to insert the object in his hand into the groove in the center of the "altar".

The mural wants to tell a simple and clear story, but it seems to only explain how the "altar" should be used, but it does not explain what the consequences will be when the "altar" is opened, which makes the two hesitate.

At this point, the importance of experience becomes apparent. If you have ever explored the ruins, you can definitely not touch the mechanism that you don't know if it's dangerous, but obviously Leach and Saya are not among them.

Thinking that there was no other way anyway, Leach walked towards the central "altar" without hesitation.
