Chapter 3: The Altar of the Sacred Tree

The Wang family is really not ordinary smart, and they use other people's faces to be perfect.

Zhang Qi was very skeptical that his face had been copied by them.

The face in front of him was so deceptive that Zhang Qixun couldn't watch his familiar face rot like this.

Simply use the ability of materialization to make a random human skin mask and cover the transformed face.

Well, it doesn't feel so uncomfortable to look at all.

In line with the principle of not littering, Zhang Qixun carried the corpse to his shoulder, turned on the fog lamp, and continued down the stairs.

The inside of the bronze sacred tree is hollow, and the inner wall also has a cloud and thunder pattern groove used by the ancients for sacrifice, but the function of this layer of groove is to reverse the blood of the outer layer, which has the same function as a water pump.

Zhang Qi walked quickly, walking down the spiral staircase for a few hundred meters, and at this time he had already entered the underground.

No one knows how deep this bronze tree is, but there is a small bronze door two meters high and more than one meter wide hidden in the intricate cloud and thunder patterns on the inner wall of the underground.

The sacrificial blood trough carved on the small door is connected with the lines next to it, making it difficult for people to notice.

However, these lines are actually independent, and only enough blood drops on them can reveal them.

However, the system is obviously familiar with this place, and Zhang Qixun was able to find that this place was still thanks to the system's guidance.

Last time, Zhang Qixun had to let his own blood in order to open the door, but this time the corpse he carried came in handy, and he originally planned to use it instead of pig blood purchased at the slaughterhouse when he was ready.

Since the Wang family had already sent someone here, it proved that they had indeed found something through special channels.

However, Zhang Qixun did not find any traces of opening on it, and the smell of blood was so faint that it was almost negligible.

He felt that either the guy didn't find the flaw here and went down the stairs, or he found it, but he wasn't fully prepared, and he let Zhang Qixun die when he was going to return.

The blood was ticking, from the bottom up, and it was quickly filled with grooves, and after the cloud thunder pattern was soaked in blood, it looked a little weird in the dim light.

Boom, a series of chains dragging sounded, and a moment later, the small bronze door suddenly shook, and a dull grinding sound sounded, and the door retracted in its entirety, revealing a gap the width of a man.

Zhang Qi carried the corpse, stepped over the stairs, and entered the corridor inside the door.

As soon as he walked in, there was a clicking sound behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that the small bronze door had been closed.

Yes, this is a one-time entry and exit permit.

The space inside the corridor is much larger, and there are lampposts with unburned lamp oil on both rows of walls.

However, the oil in it is the kind of corpse oil that lit the sky lantern in ancient times, sallow and black, very evil, Zhang Qixun is not interested in ordering it.

The sound of gentle footsteps is particularly clear in this empty corridor, which is not long, and it is only a hundred meters long, passing through two closed stone gates on the way.

The last time I came, the system said that it contained the coffins of two people with very special statuses, but it didn't say who it was.

Zhang Qixun felt that what could make the system silent was nothing other than the ancient tribe related to the system.

He didn't have much interest in it, anyway, when the time came, the system that should say it would naturally say.

At the end of the road, there is still a stone door, but the carving on this stone door is very special, it is another tattoo on Zhang Qixun's body, the lines on the two doors are symmetrical with each other, forming a three-legged divine bird pattern.

If Wu Xiaoxie was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the lines on this stone door were clearly the stone murals on the wall that he inadvertently saw in the illusion after he was knocked unconscious by the tentacle of the eight-clawed monster on the plank road.

Wu Xiaoxie later told Zhang Qixun about the illusion he saw in Qinling when he was chatting, and he himself was skeptical of that experience, and asked Zhang Qixun where he went at that time, but Zhang Qixun casually prevaricated and did not tell the truth.

In fact, what Wu Xiaoxie saw in the illusion at the beginning was basically what Zhang Qixun was experiencing when he was looking for a sacrifice, after the body abandoned most of the blood and entered the state of suspended animation, a sacrifice at the level of consciousness was illusory, not illusory.

But I don't know why, I actually pulled Wu Xiaoxie's consciousness into it, maybe the little naïve physique is really special?

After thinking about it all the time, the topic turned back.

The mechanism in front of him is also simple for Zhang Qixun, and the basement of his house is a copy of this mechanism.

But that one is simpler, and it doesn't need blood, the one in front of you needs to drop the blood at its junction in the order of the pattern carving, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is in the order of the spread of the red flame tattoo on Zhang Qixun's body.

After a single operation, the heavy stone door slowly rose upward.

Inside is a magnificent hall created by a natural karst cave, the floor is a flat stone slab repaired with a kind of black stone, and the surrounding stone walls are carved with some murals related to sacrifice and migration, and the murals that have been specially placed have been baptized by the long river of time, and the color is still bright.

The only special thing is that the people participating in the sacrifice on the mural are wearing white robes, and their faces are covered by cloaks, only the person who stands on the high platform, the leader looks, and the face can be seen to be a mask with dark gold lines.

In the center of the main hall is a huge altar, and on the ground around the altar there is a moat-like canal three or four meters wide, which is so deep that it is impossible to see the bottom at a glance.

The water in the canal is hot spring water connected to the outside, and the water vapor is steaming, and in the darkness, the central altar appears hazy, giving people a strange sense of mystery for no reason.

The water appears to be clear, but in fact it hides a very small, transparent insect that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

This kind of insect has sharp teeth, and it has *** characteristics, it doesn't hurt at all when it bites on people, and it can eat your flesh little by little unconsciously.

When a large number of these insects crawl on your body, the speed of their devouring is amazing, and by the time you react, the internal organs may no longer be able to flow out.

If it weren't for the special blood on Zhang Qixun's body, he would have suffered last time. It's a real dead body, and it won't leave you with a single bone.

These bugs are in a state of suspended animation, and a single drop of blood can wake them all up.

Zhang Qixun threw the corpse of the Wang family into the canal, and in an instant, the water surface was like boiling water, churning.

The blood spread instantly, and in less than half a cup of tea, the corpse that had just been thrown down was gone.
