Chapter 2: The Altar

The back mountain is not high or big, and after crossing the peak, you can see a valley, but the people in the village only move in the back mountain, and never cross the valley, because there are many fierce and large beasts there.

There is a stream in the valley, and in the wild, where there is a water source, there are often predatory beasts.

The stream meanders down the mountain, and the vegetation on both sides is particularly lush, but the appearance of something breaks the harmony of the green mountains and green waters.

I saw that among the lush mountains and forests, a building with a different style is particularly eye-catching, located next to the stream, just like the appearance of a western dragon in the landscape of Chinese painting.

The building itself is quadrangular in shape, small at the top and large at the bottom, with one side leading from the bottom to the upper platform, which is carved with a dripping beak at the four corners, and three large stone statues stand in the middle area.

This shape reminds Wei Feng of some in-game altars or altars.

It appeared more than two months ago, which Wei Feng can be sure, but how it appeared, Wei Feng does not know, and can only speculate that between the two rains at the end of March, something incredible happened, so that such a building could be erected overnight.

That was also the first time Wei Feng realized that this might not be an ordinary quasi-ancient world.

But more than two months have passed now, and Wei Feng has not been able to go there to find out, just because wolves, wild boars, bears, leopards, etc. are hidden in the valley, and the trajectory of the movement is not easy to predict, not to mention the tigers that appear from time to time, he knows the horror of the king of the mountains and forests, and he will never go rashly without the premise of returning safely.

That is, these fierce beasts rarely appear in the back mountain, otherwise he would not even go to the back mountain easily.

If nothing unexpected happens, he expects to go in the winter, when food is reduced and the animals head deeper into the mountains, so he can minimize the risk.

But what the unexpected is called an accident lies in its unpredictability, and it is clear that the forest is not very calm tonight.

The continuous light rain presented everything that happened near the altar to Wei Feng, and the beasts in the valley were disturbed by a battle and hid deeper into the mountains, and Wei Feng took the opportunity to quickly rush to this side.

Not far from the altar, a young man in a short suit was holding a three-foot green blade, which emitted a fluorescent white light, and the light would flash with a thorn.

He was joined by the dripping beaks at the four corners of the altar, and by a better known name, the gargoyle.

Like the unicorns, pegasi, and sinister carved on the ridges of ancient roofs, the dripping beak is a sculpture used in Western architecture to decorate the mouth of a water pipe.

Wei Feng knew this, but it was because his girlfriend, who studied architecture in his previous life, remembered it when he took him to review the history of external architecture.

It's just that I didn't expect that this gargoyle, which originally only existed in literary and artistic works, would really appear in reality one day, and at the same time, I was very glad that there was this young man as a pioneer and tried out the gargoyle, otherwise when he went in winter, his life might be explained there.

Four gargoyles hovered in the air, taking turns to attack the sword-wielding youth, the youth itself is not weak, every encounter is in an advantage, but the opponent has air superiority, grasp the initiative, the youth can not take the initiative to attack, can only passively attack.

The four gargoyles swooped down in turn, the frequency of attacks was extremely high, and the long sword in the young man's hand did not have time to stop, and the ordinary people seemed to be dazzled by the rhythm of the attack, but the young man could deal with it calmly.

Every time the gargoyle attacked and was stopped by the youth, he would take the opportunity to stab or slash the gargoyles with his long sword, leaving a deep sword mark on their stone bodies.

Gradually, the gargoyles also realized that the high frequency of the offensive did not seem to be effective, and they adjusted their offensive strategy, and began to dive down on the youth in pairs.

Originally, the young man had to stand still and wait to meet him, but at this time, the gargoyle gave up the wheel battle and started to fight two and one, and the long sword only had one, so he had to move, choosing to avoid the scratch of one of the gargoyles and fight the other with all his might.

Under the hasty change of formation, although he was not injured, he was still a little scrambling, and before he could re-set his position, the other two gargoyles had already swooped down.

However, although the good education of the school palace made him panic, he used Yuan Li to dodge this round of attacks with a few moves under his feet, and also bought himself some time to think.

He has been walking through the mountains and forests for some time, his body and mind are a little tired, and his Yuan Li is not particularly sufficient, although he really wants to go to the top of that strange building to see what secrets are worthy of these strange beasts to guard, but now that the balance of battle has tilted towards the other party, it will only be worse if it continues, it is better to retreat first.

The young man's heart had a retreat, and his actions would naturally be reflected, and he was already moving away from the altar, gradually retreating into the forest.

The four gargoyles did not let him go, and still hung tightly behind him.

However, the sword-wielding young man did not panic, after entering the forest, the gargoyle's air superiority was not so great, and he would always have a chance to get rid of these strange beasts.

The four gargoyles were fighting and running like this, and the dim sky didn't seem to have any effect on them.

At this time, the sun had already set, and it was obviously raining lightly, but the moon was hanging high in the sky.

Although the moonlight was bright, there was not much light that could penetrate the forest, barely completely dark, and in the mountains and forests not far away, there was another young man who was not affected by the light and was also on his way.

Although Wei Feng grew up in a poor village, he could always get some meat every once in a while, so compared to his peers, he was already strong.

However, the age limit, even if the standard of living is higher, he is still a teenager under the age of seventeen, and it will take a few more years for bone density and muscle strength to reach the peak, and his physical strength is inferior to that of adults.

At this time, he was a little out of breath, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, not to mention the mountain road in the rain, that is, he was used to this kind of slippery mud ground, so he could maintain a high speed of running.

There are few villagers in the valley, so there are no ready-made roads to follow, so he tries to pick up the gaps in the forest as much as possible, but there are still some sections of the road that need to be overcome.

The embarrassment on his body couldn't hide the look in his eyes, especially after the sword-wielding young man left with the four gargoyles, his eyes lit up even more, and he directly adjusted the direction of progress.

Originally, he had planned to go around in a circle to the back of the altar, but at this time, the form had changed, and he could go straight to the altar, which was a surprise.

After no detour, it only took Wei Feng about ten minutes to reach the foot of the altar, and he climbed up the steps without hesitation.

In the rain, even if he was separated by a few miles, he could clearly know that the sword-wielding young man had been wounded, and he was still reluctant to face the siege of the four gargoyles, maybe when a mistake would be severely injured or killed by the gargoyles, and no one could say how much time he could buy Wei Feng.

Climbing up to the altar with a sigh of relief, Wei Feng looked at the center of the altar.

In the center there is a protruding six-pointed star stone platform, in which three large humanoid statues stand diagonally.

The three statues have the same appearance, all of them are wearing hoods, and the strange thing is that Wei Feng is standing under the statues, and he can't see the statue's face clearly when he looks up from the bottom, as if he is shrouded in layers of mist, and it seems that something blinded his eyes.

Wei Feng whispered: "If there is something that looks very evil from a distance, and you take a closer look at the more evil door, and you still know where the most evil place is, then you will still go?" ”

The grey dog behind him didn't look tired, but the snow-white hair was stained with mud everywhere, and when he heard his words, he responded softly: "Huh? ”

"No, I'm talking to myself, how could I hesitate, my current life is not worth cherishing, right?"

The dog rolled his eyes, since he was talking to himself, then what did you ask me for.

Wei Feng squatted down and rubbed the dog's head, grinned, and then rushed into the six-pointed star stone platform without hesitation.
