Chapter 161: The Blood-Crying Bud
"Is there anyone down there?" Qi Ling looked at the bottomless abyss that quickly returned to darkness, "Did you see it just now?" There was a golden light that lit up, it should be the light generated by someone using soul power. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Let's go, I think there's the Blood Altar down there. With that, Silver Dust walked down the endless staircase. His footsteps seemed lonely in the empty darkness.
"Silver Dust!" Qi Ling couldn't help but shout, but he didn't stop.
"Silver Dust, as I just said, this is probably a well-planned trap, do you still want to step into it so unhesitatingly?"
"Whether it's a trap or not, I've got to go. Silver Dust's voice was already starting to echo, "Because that's what I'm here for." ”
Kirin gritted his teeth and rushed down the steps.
"You're crazy!" Tianshu Youhua grabbed Qi Ling's clothes and pulled him back, her expression was a little anxious, and there was some anger, "It's so obvious that a trap to lure you to step on, one by one scrambled to jump inside, what's going on with you guys!"
"Where the silver dust goes, I'll go. With that, Kirin walked down the steps.
Tianshu Youhua looked at Qiling's distant back, her eyes turned slightly red, she hesitated for a moment, and then followed and walked down.
The bronze mirror of silver dust and the snow eagle of the heavenly bouquet of flowers flew in the deep cave at the same time. Both the bronze mirror and the snow eagle glowed, flying back and forth, illuminating the darkness of the vast range.
They finally saw exactly where they were.
The rectangular altar has a long staircase in the center of each of the four sides, leading to the altar at the bottom of the cave. At the moment, they were walking on one of the steps.
This is obviously not a huge cavern formed by natural collapse, but a well-built altar of earth. The altar is built one layer at a time, surrounded by intricately carved statues and niches, and even corridors and windows on each floor. Qi Ling felt a little creepy in his heart, who are the windows for in this dark underground, who lives on the façade of this huge building, or rather, what does it live?
There was no sound, except for the sound of their hurried footsteps, and the occasional sound or two of falling rubble.
Other than that, there was silence throughout the cavern.
Finally, they came to the bottom of this sunken hole.
Before the snow eagle could fly back and forth and shine again, the huge light instantly overshadowed the snow eagle's light.
Huge blue flames leaped out of the darkness one after another, as if the arrival of Qi Zero had triggered a response here.
In the center of the bottom of the altar, there are twelve huge statues in a circle, about a range of more than ten meters. A series of blue flames lit up one after another above the statue's head, illuminating the place where it had been sleeping all along.
Two of the statues, one that looked like a low fence or a stone monument, were walking towards the three of them.
When they got closer, they found that the stele was very thick, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a stele than a huge square stone, with human portraits and painted on it, but the most puzzling thing was the black hole with the thickness of the bowl on the front of the stele, I don't know what was inside, it looked like a keyhole, but if it were, the keyhole was a little too huge - however, the twelve statues in a circle around it were already extremely huge, and even the entire sunken area was too huge.
"Silver Dust, come and see. Qiling walked past the stone monument to the edge of the area enclosed by the twelve statues, looking towards the center.
An unusually strange terrain.
The area enclosed by the twelve statues is a circle, but this circle is constantly sinking into the middle, like the shape of a bowl, the edge of the bowl is where the Silver Dust Qi and the Dark Flower are standing at this moment, and the center of the bowl is gradually sinking. The bottom of the bowl is carved out of extremely intricate furrows, which look as wide as half a palm, and are densely packed and interlocked, and the center of all the ravines is a circular stone stopper.
It looks as if it's another complicated labyrinth. However, unlike ordinary labyrinths, these ravines are impassable, and many of them are broken apart and completely disconnected from each other.
On the opposite side of the stele, there was a heavy and closed stone door relative to the place where Qi Ling had come down the steps.
"Labyrinth again?" Qi Ling looked at the sunken stone bowl at his feet, not knowing where to start. Originally, when they arrived here, Lianquan should have told them the specific method of customs clearance, but ......
"This huge circular turntable, one circle after another, is actually a lock, and you see these disconnected patterns on the ground, these ravines can only be connected when each turn is turned to its rightful position, and if I guess correctly, these ravines are used for bloodletting, and only when the blood flows completely in these ravines, the door will be opened. Silver Dust looked at the broken ravine in front of him and said.
"How do you get these discs to turn?" asked the Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers.
"That stele!" Qi Ling suddenly remembered something, turned back to the stele, and looked at the inexplicable black round hole in the stele, "To make the disc turn, you need to insert the key!"
Silver Dust and Heavenly Bouquet Youhua walked back to the stone tablet, and sure enough, on the stone tablet, a woman half-kneeling in front of the altar was drawn with her hand into the stone tablet.
"Handle...... Do you want to go in?" she looked at the hole with the thickness of her black arm, wondering if there was any basilisk or insect in it that would bite her. Moreover, judging from the huge bowl-like blood altar that I had just seen, the amount of blood was a little too staggering.
"It should be, it turns out, 'people' are the key. Silver Dust looked at the black hole on the stele.
Tianshu Youhua hesitated, and finally stood in front of the stone tablet, she stretched out her arm, slender fingers and into a ball, and then slowly reached into the black hole, she didn't know what she would touch, but this invisible fear is the biggest fear, if this is not a thick stone tablet, if this is a transparent stone tablet, then, everyone will know what is in this round hole......
The Celestial Bouquet trembled, and little by little she reached into her arms until her elbow was stuck outside, unable to push any further.
Qi Ling and Silver Dust both breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was no such thing as a poisonous scorpion, snake and insect in the black hole.
But then?
There's no movement.
"Reach in, the turntable isn't turning, Silver Dust, are you sure lotus-ah!!!" Tianshu Youhua suddenly screamed violently, she desperately tried to pull her hand out of that black hole, however, it was no longer possible.

Treya opened her eyes, and the golden light gate around her gradually dissipated.
She took a few steps forward, and beneath her feet was an endless tumbling sea of thick clouds, in which various huge humanoid stone pillars towered, and all kinds of Horcruxes were inserted into them.
"Alas, it's a pity, it's hard to come here again, but it's a pity that it's been marked by the soul mound, and I can't take anything good. Therea chuckled.
She looked around, but there was no movement, and the entire huge soul mound was dead silent.
"Looks like I'm early. Treya walked slowly along the cliff, admiring the various Horcruxes under her feet, "I don't know when they will arrive here, it's best not to keep me waiting too long." ”
The hem of her skirt dragged along the ground with her steps, and some small stones were dragged to the ground and the hem of her skirt rolled a few times, falling into the thick sea of clouds below.
"Come out. Treya raised her eyes, and at some point, her eyes had turned cloudy white, "In front of me, you don't have to hide." ”
In the shadow of the cliff, the night slowly walked out. He smiled, "It's not you I'm hiding." ”
"Didn't the Silver Priest want me to defend this level alone, why did he send you?"
"Looks like you're late. There was a mysterious smile on the corner of Ma Ye's mouth, lining his delicate and fragile face like a teenager, looking a little dangerous and a little ambiguous.
"Late? I think I'm too early. I don't know how long I'll have to wait—" Treya turned around halfway through, her cloudy eyes trembling violently, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
Dozens of huge blessing tentacles twisted into a huge shape like a flower bud, slowly poking out from the sea of clouds behind the cliff where she was, and Treya was only a meter or two away from the blessing at this moment.
The blood-dripping buds slowly rose, then leaned down and slowly bloomed towards her, as if a delicate flower was stretching its petals in the closest place in front of her, and the tentacles opened one by one, and the violent smell of blood instantly swallowed Treya.
"I've said it all, it's not you I'm hiding. In the distance, she shook her head a little regretfully, "Besides, you're really 'late'." With that, he turned around and walked into the cave of the cliff. (To be continued.) )
