When Liang En came to the door of the temple with the pomegranate, the battle was over.
Just as Liang En killed the human-turned monster in the main hall, the enemies who had fought back and forth with Liang En and his team before suddenly collectively stiffened and remained motionless.
Naturally, the members of the team would not let go of this opportunity, and they took the opportunity to destroy these enemies, and when Liang En walked to the door with the crystal pomegranate, they were already collecting loot.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Liang En came to Liu Shoubei and arched his hand, and then took out the crystal pomegranate. "This is the core of the cave sky, with this, you can control the entire cave space, and at the same time, the origin of this cave space is also recorded."
As Liang En had previously guessed, this cave was indeed brought by the ancient Egyptian priests, but at the end of the fourth century AD.
At that time, Christianity was on the rise in the West, and the Roman Empire declared Christianity the state religion and closed all the pagan temples within its borders, including the ancient temple of Hathor.
Since Hathor had fallen for nearly a thousand years at that time, the group of clergy who were surviving with the remnants of the power of the gods were naturally unable to resist and could only give up everything and leave.
However, as a temple that has been inherited for thousands of years, even if the gods have fallen for thousands of years, there are still many good things left, such as this cave space called Hathor's love.
This space was modified on the basis of the original sub-plane after spending a lot of time and energy when the gods were still there, turning this space into a cave like the real world.
Compared with the ordinary cave world, the biggest feature of this cave world is that it can absorb the energy of the surrounding environment and form a self-circulation, even if the external energy input is stopped, it can still maintain a long time.
What's more, when the gods were still there, Hathor asked Horus to completely seal off the cave world and make a core that could control the entire space.
According to the information recorded in the core that looks like a crystal pomegranate, as long as you have this core, you can build a space door in most parts of the main world to connect to this cave world, or close the original space door.
However, when the last of the clergy of Hathor fled, the Christian Church also set its sights on them, and with the bloody battles along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and they had to flee eastward along the Silk Road, which had almost collapsed at that time.
Eventually, after losing 4/5 of their personnel, the group eventually sailed along the southern route of the Silk Road from the western side of the Indian peninsula, then along the coastline all the way east, and finally landed at the mouth of the Yangzi River.
However, at that time, the East was not a paradise, and large-scale nomadic invasions appeared not only in Europe, but also in Asia, and the Jin Dynasty had been driven out of the Central Plains by nomads and became a small dynasty in a remote corner.
Because of the chaos brought about by the war, the mouth of the Yangtze River was not as prosperous as it is now, but a desolate salt-alkali flat, so when the clergy who had lost the protection of the gods came here, they soon died of fatigue and disease.
Especially in that case, after the remnants of the clergy had placed the last space gate of Hathor's Love, they demanded that everyone build a new temple, and eventually the harsh conditions and brutal labor led to a rebellion.
The slaves and the low-ranking armed men took advantage of the darkness of the night to launch a sneak attack, and then fought with the upper echelons of the church, who had only the last remaining shred of strength.
The battle lasted from dark to dawn, and in the end only a few people survived and walked into the surrounding jungle, while all that was left of them was exposed to the elements, which were slowly cleaned up.
So when the pioneers came to this land a few decades later, they only found a platform that had been weathered and could barely see its original shape, and built its own defenses with the help of this small plateau.
As time went by, year after year, the land and the treasures beneath it were completely forgotten, until the first founder of the Pu family accidentally obtained a document to find the traces of the exiles.
However, the patriarch of the Pu family, who had already achieved fame back then, had no interest in such a cave space that could not produce extraordinary resources, so after completing a simple investigation, he recorded his findings in the family's secret notes, as a backhand for the family to circulate.
As a result, after the Pu family was completely liquidated because of the betrayal of the year, Pu Yanshou, as a remnant, found this note, and used the remnants of the Pu family at sea to plan for many years, and finally successfully used this pirate attack to enter this space.
It's just that he didn't realize that his ancestors had only hastily explored the space, so some of the records were incorrect, such as the record that the core of the space was placed in the largest and most ornate pyramid.
As for the retreat, it was a one-time spell left by the ancestor of the Pu family in that notebook, able to leave this world and go to a safe place.
According to Pu Yanshou's original plan, he would get the core as quickly as possible and leave this space, and then take this space away through the core.
It's a pity that no one in their family could know the ancient Egyptian script, so in the end, they completely missed the treasure, but instead fulfilled Liang En and them.
"Expand your territory! We're doing a great job of expanding our territory. At this time, after figuring out the knowledge about this cave world transmitted in the core, Liu Shoubei, who led the team, had a smile on his face.
For the soldiers of the new Song Dynasty, the greatest merit was to expand the territory, especially when they were able to obtain such a fertile land that could be cultivated at any time, the merit was equivalent to obtaining ten times as much wasteland.
And when he walked into the hall, an even bigger surprise awaited him - the guy with a big hole in his chest was Pu Yanshou who launched a large-scale pirate attack this time.
As for the reason why Liu Shoubei was so happy, it was also very simple, because according to the military merit regulations of the New Song Dynasty, in the current situation of forming a team, any victory obtained by the team will be credited with his commanding merits.
After feeling his good luck, Liu Shoubei began to examine the corpse on the ground, and soon he took a silver ring from the other party's finger.
"This thing is supposed to be yours, and according to military law, the items captured by a cultivator after fighting an enemy cultivator should belong to the victor."
A very simple silver ring that was thrown over, because the original user had died, so Liang En easily opened the ownerless ring.
The space inside the ring is about 300 cubic meters, most of which are empty, but there are three boxes in the corner, two of which contain a lot of strange equipment, and the third contains all kinds of written records.
After a simple scan with his mental power, he found that these written records were all related to alchemy, and it seemed that the pirate leader had his own side business in addition to pirates.
"Hey, what is this?"
Just as he was about to take a closer look at these words in the future, he suddenly found that his spiritual power was vaguely scanning an existence that didn't seem to exist.
