Before he came in, Shen Mu had always thought that this was a magnificent underground palace, but when he walked in, he found that this was actually an underground temple. Along the way, you can see carvings on the walls with various god motifs, some with human heads and beasts, some with multiple heads and arms, and some wearing battle armor and stepping on dragons. However, each god also has one thing in common, which is that they are huge. Judging from the contrast in the patterns, the height of these gods must be at least ten meters, and some can even reach hundreds of meters, which is higher than a mountain peak.

Shen Mu had heard a theory before: when the energy stored in a person's body reaches a certain level, the ordinary body can no longer bear it, and the body will collapse and then reorganize again under the pressure of energy, and the restructured body will become larger and larger in order to accommodate more energy.

However, it does not mean that the higher the body, the stronger the strength. Rather, it is the opposite, when more and more energy is accumulated in the body, the energy needs to be further compressed. At the same time, it is also necessary to control the body shape, an excessively tall body is actually not suitable for fighting, and the best combat body shape should be about eight meters.

Of course, these are only theories that Shen Mu has heard, and he also corroborates this judgment from the side of the state of the gods he draws when they fight. The combat effectiveness displayed by those huge gods who were about 100 meters tall was completely inferior to those gods who were about 10 meters tall.

And through these murals, he also discovered that these ancient gods were not all independent individuals, and they also had ethnic groups. Or is it more appropriate to call them the Ancient Protoss......

Compared to Shen Mu, who had been observing these god murals, the fat man's attention was all on the spars used for lighting.

These hedrons are set above the sides of the walls, each the size of a normal human head. The whole body is crystal clear, emitting a milky white shimmer, if you don't look closely, you think it's a wall lamp!

It's no wonder that the fat man pays attention to them, and each of these pure natural magic crystals with such good quality can be sold for at least tens of millions. And in this temple, there are too many spars for this kind of lighting to count, and as long as they knock down two at random, it is enough for them to make a ruthless stroke again.

However, what made him very depressed was that the position of these spar inlays was too high, and the fat man tried his best to think of various ways but couldn't even touch it, so angry that he scratched his ears and scratched the roots of his cheeks.

"Let's go, fat man!" Shen Mu greeted him and said with relief: "Don't think about these spars, these things are just tools for lighting in the eyes of the ancient gods, and the real good things are still in them!"

"Really?" The fat man's depressed eyes suddenly lit up again, and he asked eagerly, "Tell me quickly, what have you seen from those paintings for a long time?"

"It's nothing, I just think that since this is a temple, there will definitely be some good things, such as sacrificial supplies or something, and maybe there are a few weapons used by the gods!" Shen Mu said speculatively.

"The weapon used by the gods, isn't that an artifact?" the fat man glared, and the whole person immediately became excited, and the previous depressed color was instantly swept away.

"Don't be too happy too early, I just said that there may be, of course there may be nothing, or maybe it will be left there but you just can't get it!" Shen Mu poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Isn't there a one-in-a-third chance of getting it?" The fat man's mentality is that this is good, and he always looks on the positive side. Especially when his mind is now full of the word 'artifact', a one-third chance is desperately worth it.

The two of them quickened their pace a little, and walked for another ten minutes before crossing the long passage.

On one side of the passage is connected to a large sacrificial square, with a ten-meter-high altar in the center. Spread out in a radial shape along the altar, there are a total of 64 huge pillars, on which are carved with various rare beasts to come to life.

The fat man was now thinking about the artifact, and when he saw that something seemed to be placed on the central altar, he immediately wanted to rush over to take a look, but Shen Mu felt that something was wrong and took him back.

"What's the matter?" asked the fat man, puzzled.

Shen Mu pointed to the Huazhu in front of him and said, "Do you see the monster carved on it? I have seen it on the mural! I remember that there is a mural that depicts it fighting with a god, and you can understand that it is the enemy that the god wants to destroy." Then the question is, since it is an enemy, why does it appear in the temple where the gods are worshipped?"

"You mean to ...... Is there a problem here?" the fat man still doesn't quite understand.

"Of course there's a problem!" Shen Mu handed over a 'stupid' look, and then said, "Have you ever thought of a possibility: the gods sealed the monsters and then let them guard the temple?

"You mean, the monsters on these pillars are actually alive?" the fat man finally understood, and then a look of horror appeared in his eyes. These monsters are all fierce beasts that fought with the gods back then! Not to mention sixty-four, even if only one survives, neither of them is enough to stuff people's teeth.

"I'm not sure, but now that we've made it here, let's try it and talk about it!" And Shen Mu felt that even if there was really a fierce beast coming back to life, its scope of activity should be limited to this sacrificial square, otherwise there would be no need to erect the Huazhu here? Of course, just in case, he secretly held the communicator in his hand, if there was really a crisis situation, he would call for help as soon as possible, and he believed that the earl would definitely come to save him.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Shen Mu walked forward little by little with courage, observing the fierce beasts on the pillar in front of him. The beast didn't react until he had taken fifteen steps forward, making him wonder if he had guessed wrong.

So he continued to walk a few steps forward, until he had crossed the first pillar, and suddenly he heard a murderous roar, which frightened him and turned to run. But at this time, he realized that a monster with a tiger head and six arms had blocked his way.

......

Seeing that the boulder blocking above was pushed down next to it, revealing the black thief hole below, Jia San's face instantly turned black for a while. No one knows how long he had been planning for this operation, and how much effort it took him to make this thief hole under the nose of the Lishan Sword Palace?

"Impossible? I'm just worried about being discovered, so I dug the entire cave by myself, and I didn't use any aura, and I didn't even seal the entrance of the cave with a formation. How could it be discovered? It doesn't make sense!" Jia San tried to think about it, not realizing that he had made any mistakes in the process.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence!" The middle-aged man calmed down a little and analyzed, "If it was really someone from the Mountain Sword Palace who discovered this hole, would it still be so quiet now?" I wonder if someone else happened to find out?"

Jia San nodded approvingly: "It is indeed possible." Although the odds are slim, there may be lucky guys. ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "Lucky? I don't think it may! Judging from the time, even if someone enters, it should only be just after entering, and we still have time! Whoever dares to rob me of my opportunity today, I will take someone's life!"

"Hmm...... In fact, at this time, it is not necessarily all bad to let others take the lead?" Jia San calmed down and analyzed a little: "Although the Great Array of Eternal Annihilation will stop operating once every 100,000 years, there are also many dangers in the Ancient Temple, and those sixty-four Spirit Protector Beasts that can change according to the strength of the invaders alone are not easy to deal with. It's good that someone is exploring the way ahead, anyway, no one can take the most important treasure without the blood of the gods!"
