Chapter 23: The Pyramid of the Wilderness

The sky was a lifeless yellow, and the sun hung in the sky as if it were dead, and it looked lifeless and depressing. The wind blew on the dark branches and made a strange sound mixed with the occasional crow call.

Along the way, Zuo Yang walked in the front, Lin Qingyu and Su Qing followed behind him, and the three of them maintained a fighting posture and moved forward cautiously, once there was an abnormality, they could meet it as soon as possible.

Although they did not encounter any danger, they did not have an easy time, as the strange feeling in the woods grew stronger.

The longer the tree, the more old and mottled it becomes. This kind of antiquity is not the kind of age, but a trace of time, as if it has experienced countless wars and left the memory of vicissitudes.

The leaves have dried up, the bark has become shiny, and even the canopies have turned grayish-white, without any greenery.

"Squeak...... Squeak ......"

The sound of leaves rubbing against branches became harsh.

The yellowing of the leaves increases, and the color on the branches deepens and becomes dull.

Lin Qingyu and the three of them looked at the four directions vigilantly, with warnings in their eyes.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound on the branches of a large tree.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu, Su Qing and Zuo Yang raised their magic weapons almost at the same time, ready to attack.

This big tree is seven or eight meters tall, and there are countless blood-red eyes on the dry trunk, and the eyeballs are constantly moving.

After seeing this monster, Lin Qingyu, Zuo Yang, and Su Qing all felt a strong sense of nausea.

"Squeak...... Squeak ......"

A voice came from the branches, and suddenly those black branches turned into countless tentacles and attacked in the direction of the three of them.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang.

The snowflakes flew, the tentacles shook, the branches broke, and most of the black tentacles that came at the attack were broken, but there were still more branches that turned into tentacles and shook wildly in the air.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, but it looks like it's attacking at intervals, so let's get out of here!" Zuo Yang swung the cold moon and threw out a sword aura again.

"Hmm!"

Lin Qingyu nodded, and then the three of them quickly evacuated here.

"Squeak...... Squeak ......"

The branches continued to wave, and the tentacles kept intertwining in the air, making a "pop, snap" sound, which sounded numb.

Not only that, but the other black dead trees in the forest had also turned into the same monsters, and countless branches had turned into tentacles, waving in a chaotic manner.

The trio were extremely fast, weaving through the trees, dodging the tentacles that had been turned into branches.

"You'll be able to get out in front!" Su Qing asked loudly.

"Squeak...... Squeak...... "There are more and more tentacles in the woods, densely packed, as if there is no end.

"Let's go!" Lin Qingyu flicked his right hand back, and a cloud of air burst behind them, shattering the tentacles that were pursuing.

Immediately, the three of them managed to rush out of the forest and came to a desert, and some black shadows swayed at the end of the desert, and they couldn't see clearly.

Lin Qingyu looked at the pursuing tentacles behind him with palpitations, but found that they were all stuck at the edge of the black forest, as if they were afraid of something.

"What's the situation, why didn't they chase after them?" Su Qing saw the movements of those tentacles and said suspiciously.

"I don't know, but we're safe for the time being." Lin Qingyu said while calming his breath.

Zuo Yang stared at the strange trees carefully and began to analyze them carefully.

- Reiki control system, analyzing the target...... No traces of aura were detected, and the data was missing to allow further analysis.

Don't have an aura? Zuo Yang was stunned, how could these trees grow so many tentacles without aura, and they could still control the tentacle attacks?

- Lack of information, no comment.

It seems that there is really no more content to analyze, so Zuo Yang has no choice but to give up.

"It's not a good place to stay for long, let's hurry forward." Zuo Yang said.

"Good!"

Lin Qingyu and Su Qing agreed and continued to move forward.

Whatever the reason, now that it's safe, there's no need for them to stay here and waste their time any longer, finding the location of the treasure map mark as soon as possible and leaving this hellish place is the top priority.

Ten minutes later, Zuo Yang and the three of them walked through the desert and finally arrived at the location marked on the treasure map.

Zuo Yang looked at the building in front of him and scanned it from beginning to end.

It is a building similar to a Mayan pyramid, with a stepped façade made of black and red masonry, and the black staircase in the center has an inexplicable attraction, as if inviting the three of them to go up. At the end of the stairs, Zuo Yang saw two strange stone statues, which looked like canines, but there was an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

The black and red masonry used to build this pyramid seemed to be able to block the divine sense, and Zuo Yang couldn't scan the situation inside the pyramid anyway, so he had to give up.

"Looks like this is it." Zuo Yang said, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

Lin Qingyu and Su Qing followed behind Zuo Yang and cautiously stepped on the steps.

The torches on both sides of the stairs seemed to greet them, and the moment Zuo Yang stepped on the steps, they lit up one after another, and the dark blue flames danced on the torches, and the whole sky turned into the color of the flames.

"Is this welcoming us?" Su Qing looked at the torches curiously and asked with curiosity.

"Don't let up, be careful." Lin Qingyu reminded softly.

"Oh......" Su Qing pursed her lips and muttered, "I wasn't careless......"

The staircase looked long, and the three of them were pushing hard, but the gate of the pyramid was still a small black dot.

But just when Lin Qingyu and Su Qing felt a little tired, the gate suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Scared the hell out of me!" Su Qing was startled by the sudden appearance of the gate and almost fell.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyu grabbed her for the first time.

"What's going on? I just looked at it and it was still very far away. Lin Qingyu looked around very suspiciously.

"Hmm...... Maybe the rules of the space here are different from the outside world, right? Zuo Yang said.

"Space rules?" Lin Qingyu and Su Qing said in unison after hearing this unfamiliar term.

Zuo Yang looked at the puzzled eyes of the two girls, so he had to briefly explain what the so-called rules were and so on, of course, these things were also taught to him by Qiong Yingdao.

"Hmm...... I don't understand ......" Su Qing tilted her head to look at Zuo Yang and said innocently.

"It does feel very mysterious...... Lin Qingyu listened to it a little, but obviously didn't understand it.

"Forget it, we're already at the door, let's go inside."

Zuo Yang waved his hand, signaling Lin Qingyu and Su Qing to enter the pyramid quickly.

Lin Qingyu and Su Qing glanced at each other, and at the same time walked towards the entrance of the pyramid.

The moment you enter the pyramid, the huge stone door closes with a "bang", and then countless torches light up on both sides of the passage, presenting a strange scene.

It's a stone road, not wide, and it looks like it can accommodate three people walking side by side. Every two meters there will be a torch on the wall to illuminate the passage.

On both sides of the passage are intricate symbols and frescoes of unknown significance, as if to record some kind of ritual. There are not only people in the murals, but also many strange, indescribable monsters.

"What the hell is this place......" Lin Qingyu couldn't help but get nervous as he looked at the monster painted on the wall.

"I don't know......" Zuo Yang looked at the nervous appearance of the two girls and said softly, "It's okay, I will do my best to protect you." ”
