Chapter 46: Ruins

Chen He and Sabel traced the river bank up the river and went straight to the main peak deep in the taiga. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason for this is that you can follow the water source, and the second is that you can have a wider view after reaching a high place.

The two of them were ignorant of their surroundings, and it was very unwise to wander around like blind people.

When the second sunset came, and they finally approached the top of the mountain, the stream was gradually turning into dripping water between the cracks in the rocks.

The view was limited in the night, so the two had to stop for a while, looking for a flat area to camp and rest.

The two of them only ate one pine cone that day, and until now, half a day has passed, and there is still no sign of hunger.

In absolute tranquility, without the trouble of hunger, the two quickly fell asleep.

While!

Suddenly, a roar resounded in the sky, echoing back and forth between the dense forest valleys, as if countless creatures were whispering.

"The bell?!" Chen He sat up and asked in surprise.

"Yes! It seems to be at the foot of the mountain. Sabel was also awakened and replied in the affirmative.

The sound of the bell in the middle of the night in the mountains was deafening and shocking, and it seemed so abrupt and strange that it was unexpected.

"Let's go down tomorrow and take a look, maybe we can be saved!" Chen He said happily.

Sabel kept staring at the night sky, not speaking, and slowly withdrew his gaze after a long time.

"It's impossible for humans to get here, and you see a lot of birds in the distance who are startled, and obviously surprised by the sound of the bell, unlike what they are used to hearing every day. Sabel pointed to the dark sky and explained slowly.

Chen He stared at the night sky for a moment, and sure enough, he saw that there were many black dots moving at high speed, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

"In any case, the sound of a bell means that there is an indigenous civilization, and at least there is a slight possibility of being rescued. Chen He insisted.

"Indigenous civilizations? Where will there be natives in an exotic space? Sabel said in a deep voice, obviously worried.

The two waited for dawn in tossing and turning, never falling asleep, and the strange bell never rang again.

It was just the first sight after Tianming got up, Chen He was completely shocked.

The two of them stayed not far from the flat ground, and the mountain changed dramatically, and there was a bottomless moat, which was horizontal in front of them.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the gloomy and misty deep ravine, Chen He couldn't help but feel deeply fortunate.

The terrain of the mountains here is so strange that if they had walked a few more steps in the darkness last night, the two of them might have fallen into the bottomless abyss, and there was no chance of survival.

"The bell came from below. Sabel pointed to the inside of the abyss and said lightly.

Chen He suddenly came to his senses, leaned over to find a boulder, and threw it to the bottom of the abyss.

"Stop!"

Sabel tried to stop it, but it was too late, and the boulder formed a straight line and fell to the bottom of the abyss, quickly disappearing through the mist.

After about twenty breaths, there was still no response.

Just as the two of them were wondering, a burst of dark golden light suddenly flickered at the bottom of the dark abyss, like thunder and lightning.

After a few moments, the light vanished, and the bottom of the abyss was once again eerie.

And the falling boulder, along with the dark golden light, completely disappeared without any trace.

"Let's go, get out of here!" said Sabel without hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" Chen He whispered, stopping his steps.

"Curiosity kills cats! I'm more experienced than you. Sabel said impatiently.

"Look over there. Chen He raised his arm and pointed forward, and said in a low voice.

Sabel's steps stopped.

On the other side of the mountaintop, where the two of them didn't have time to explore last night, there was actually a palace-like building scattered around.

The strange temple is dilapidated and in ruins, but you can still see the grandeur of the day.

"What a wicked door!" Sabel muttered in a low voice.

When they went up the mountain, they had already discovered that there was no climbing path at all on this mountain, and they did not expect that at the top of the mountain, there was a palace of such a scale, and it was close to the strange bottomless abyss.

"Anyway, I've finally seen the ruins of civilization, and maybe someone lives under the abyss. Chen He said with hope.

Sabel shook his head and didn't speak, years of experience in the trial ground of life and death had made him give up his unrealistic illusions.

So Chen He rushed towards the ruins alone to see if he could find anything.

The scale of the temple is very large, but the proportions are indistinguishable from those of earth, and at first glance it is easy to mistake it for human relics.

"These rooms are all strange and don't have gates. Sabel spoke, a little nervous in his tone.

"yes. Chen He also frowned, and said in the same confusion.

The ruined walls of the temple are mottled, and there are no pictorial decorations in sight, nor any useful clues.

"The walls are not caused by natural wind erosion, but by external forces. Sabel looked at it for a moment and whispered.

"External sabotage?"

Chen He followed Sabel's guidance, and sure enough, he saw faint scratches on the wall, and couldn't help but be shocked.

The purpose of the destruction was obviously to hide something, and the scratches looked very new.

"Don't worry, this kind of building is made of rare dark gold stones, and you can't tell the age of the scratches at all. However, judging from the surrounding situation, the ruins have been formed for at least a thousand years. Sabel went on to explain.

The Dark Gold Stone is so rare that it is said to be ineroded by the wind for eternity, and it is hard to imagine that it could be used on such a large scale.

Chen He wanted to pick a piece from the ruins and put it in his pocket to take it away, but found that it was impossible.

The hardness of the Dark Gold Shine Stone is better than that of King Kong, and it can't be shaken at all, and it is almost one-piece, making people really unable to start.

"This place must have been subjected to a supreme attack that could destroy heaven and earth, and it was completely destroyed, maybe it has something to do with the abyss of the evil sect. Sabel calmly analyzed.

Chen He couldn't help but be stunned for a while, not to mention whether Sabel's analysis was correct, the powerful power that could destroy the Dark Gold Yaoshi was definitely terrifying.

The two finally agreed and wanted to leave immediately.

At this moment, however, Sabel's steps stopped again.

"Master Sa, do you want to be a curious cat?" Chen He asked.

"No, I'm just worried about you!" Sabel said lightly with a slightly warm face.

"Worried about me?!" Chen He asked in surprise at some point.

"Yes, I just saw a room with a tunnel in it, I'm afraid you'll be curious to go in and check it out. Sabel said slowly.

"Really?"

Chen He was really curious, and he followed Sabel's instructions and climbed towards the window of a room.

There were no doors in all the rooms of the Strange Palace, and the windows were very high from the ground, but fortunately, Chen He had good physical strength and quickly climbed up.

"There is indeed a tunnel, and there is a deep part of it. Chen He rode on the wall and said after taking a closer look.

"Well, be careful when you go down, and turn around and run when you see something wrong!" said Sabel in a tone of encouragement, with concern.

"Master Sa, aren't you going in with you?"

Chen He was slightly stunned and said, he really wanted to enter the tunnel, but he was really a little stunned about going down alone.

"I haven't recovered my cultivation yet, so I won't go in. Sabel said lightly, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"Alright then, I'll go in and have a look. Chen He said stubbornly.

Chen He would never rush into the tunnel out of curiosity, but he had a reason to go.

At present, the coordinates of the position and galaxy have been shifted, and it is not easy to go back, if you give up the opportunity in front of you, you may really have to die alone here, no different from dying immediately.

Chen He didn't hesitate too much, he had already jumped into the room from the wall, but his steps were very heavy.

"Wait a minute!" suddenly exclaimed Sabel outside the room.

Then, Sabel threw in a small bag of oiled paper and landed at Chen He's feet.

"This is my portable emergency kit, which contains windproof matches and glow sticks, you can save some use, and you must come back and tell me if you find something." Sabel shouted.

Chen He smiled silently, he really needed these things, but he was unwilling to make a promise.

Sabel had apparently seen that there might be an opportunity in the tunnels, and maybe it was really possible, and had found a clue to leave this place.

However, his cultivation was slowly recovering, and there was no need to take risks now, so he let Chen He be the pathfinder.

If Chen He returns alive, he can sit back and enjoy his success, and if he never returns, when he goes down a few days later, he can also have traces to follow.

Although this kind of scheming is normal, it makes people feel a little disdainful, after all, Sabel is a master cultivator.

So after Chen He got the emergency kit, he didn't have much gratitude, didn't look back, and walked towards the dark tunnel.

When you first enter the tunnel, the entrance is very narrow, and there is only room for one person to enter and exit.

After descending about ten meters down the inclined staircase, the light was too dim to be recognized, Chen He unscrewed a glow stick and held it in his hand to illuminate it.

Illuminated by the pale blue fluorescence, the steps reflect a subtle golden glow.

Leaning over to look closely, it was found that it was a thin layer of fine sand-like dark gold stone fragments, attached to the surface of the staircase, evenly divided, obviously nothing in and out for a long time, and there was no trace of rain washing.

Being in a small and confined isolated space, Chen He had a feeling of hair in his heart, but fortunately, claustrophobia did not attack.

He tried to step in the middle of the steps with every step, and the force was extremely soothing from light to heavy, careful not to trigger the mechanism.

Surprisingly, there weren't any mechanisms along the way, not even a fork in the road.

Chen He walked up the endless steps for a long time, and the surrounding scene did not change in any way, but the air temperature was quietly getting colder.

After the Ziyun armor was damaged, it was put in a duffel bag by Chen He, and at this time he had to take it out again to keep warm.

The exoskeleton that the He family spent a lot of money to build can only play this role, which is really a little dumbfounded.

However, Chen He soon discovered that the bursts of cold in the tunnel were somewhat unusual.

Based on his previous experience, the coldness here was obviously excessive, and he wondered if it was due to the special conditions of the Exotic Space.

At this moment, there was a continuous faint commotion in his ears, which made people feel a little frightened in the originally silent space.

Chen He couldn't help but speed up his pace, the voice coming from front became louder and louder, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

However, at the end of the stone steps, in front of him was a small deep pool.
