"That thing...... Could it be the eyes of a demonic beast?" Wren stared silently at the looming firelight in front of him, a kind of alertness brewing in his handsome eyebrows.

"No, I don't feel any signs of life other than us. Angela immediately dismissed Wren's speculation, "Does that look more like a flame?"

"Let's get closer and have a look......," Eisen said.

The closer you get to the blue glow, the thinner the fog becomes, and a magnificent monument made of huge rocks gradually emerges before everyone's eyes.

Dense and complicated carvings are almost all over every inch of the stone surface of this ancient building, and the long years have eroded those exquisite and beautiful carvings bit by bit, perhaps some kind of hieroglyphs in the ancient era, or some kind of ancient totem, but the cracks that burst open and the corrosion of the wind and sand have gradually covered up its original appearance, even the experts who have studied the ancient times may not be able to read the information left by these broken carvings to future generations.

The lamps protruding from the stone wall burned with a faint blue flame, the cold flames dancing in the night as if they had no temperature, and I don't know how many years it burned like this, and how long it would take to extinguish, to illuminate this almost forgotten monument hidden deep in the mountains, or just to make the decaying monument not seem so lonely.

Directly below the two lamps is an oval-shaped stone cave, the black mouth of which is like a monster's open mouth, and occasionally a terrifying cool breeze blows, which makes people's backs shiver, and they don't know where it leads quietly.

If you look down from directly above at this time, it is not difficult to find that this magnificent ancient building is rectangular, its shape looks like a huge stone coffin, and the white mist that firmly wraps it around it seems to be like a high and raised tomb, and the entire area of the Zero Demon Beast looks like a tomb where the ancient gods are sleeping.

"How...... How is that possible?" Arya was obviously stunned by the magnificent monument in front of her, her eyes trembling slightly, and her soft voice was full of disbelief and confusion, "How can there be human structures in the depths of the Eldas Mountains?"

This does sound like a very hard thing to believe, because from the moment of historical records, human beings have been in awe of the Eldas Mountains, and the most important reason for this is that there are huge groups of demonic beasts living in the mountains, and there are even more demonic beasts that have reached the abyss level in legends, they are the supreme existence comparable to the ancient gods, and their strength is not at all comparable to humans.

Not to mention the ancient times when alchemy technology and magic technology were relatively backward, even now that they have reached the top technology, the major empires do not dare to enter the Eldas Mountains on a large scale, because once they cause a riot of demonic beasts in the mountain range, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, the ruins that are presented to everyone at this moment are so real, so majestic and magnificent. It is hard to imagine the weight of the few boulders that serve as the base, and I really don't know how the craftsmen who built it carried it in the first place, how to build such a miraculous structure in this mountain range where demonic beasts are infested, and the purpose of building this structure in this mountain range is even more incredible.

"It seems that we are indeed close to the secrets of the Eldas Mountains. Eisen's cold pupils reflected miraculous ancient buildings, and there was subtle excitement in his low, magnetic voice.

"It's hard to say if it was made by humans, do I'm not sure there was any country in history that built buildings in this style?" Beggis looked at the monument in front of him with a rare and serious look, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense, "but the hole seems to lead to the interior of the building, and maybe some clues can be found." ”

"Do you still want to go in?" Arya couldn't help but shudder, "Don't forget that this is an area that the monsters dare not approach, maybe the thing they taboo is this strange building in front of them, and the purpose of our visit is only to explore the crater, this kind of building of unknown origin can be reported truthfully, there is no need to risk ......"

"It's not necessary, but don't you think it's fun?" Beckis tilted his head and looked at Arya with a smirk, "Isn't the vice-captain ......?"

"Wait, I feel the human soul power......" Angela interrupted Bergis in surprise suddenly, "in the depths of the cavern." ”

"With the soul power of a human?" Eisen turned back in confusion, "Is there anyone else here besides us?"

"Or rather, the people who lived here in the first place......" Wren seemed surprisingly calm, "after all, there are human buildings here, and it wouldn't be surprising if there were people living here, right?"

"No, it's not...... Angela shook her head slowly, and under the faint blue firelight, the depths of the girl's clear pupils flickered with a shattered light of fear, "Their breath is very weak, and they all seem to be dying!"

"What?!" everyone was shocked.

Through the dark stone cavern, there are stone steps that extend into the ground one by one, leading to the chaotic and viscous dark depths, as if connecting to some unknown world buried deep underground.

The stone steps under the feet are also some kind of natural rock spliced together, the hard surface has a subtle grain protrusion, in such a cold and damp environment is very non-slip effect, although it looks like an old building, but obviously there are no people here, the surface of those rocks except for small cracks almost still maintain the original appearance, there are not many signs of wear.

It's a long tunnel, and the sound of each step down is faint but still faintly echoes after a few seconds.

The tunnel wasn't spacious, and could only accommodate two people of Wren's stature walking side by side. The walls on both sides are also carved with continuous fine carvings, compared to the carvings on the outer walls of the monuments, the tunnels are relatively well preserved, but there are no historians who are proficient in ancient civilizations among the few people in the same group, and naturally they cannot decipher the meaning of those carvings, so they can only guess some similar ancient rituals from the occasional pictures.

As we continued to descend, the faint glow cast by the entrance of the cave gradually weakened, and everyone's eyes fell into a quagmire of darkness once again.

The further down we went, the wetter it became, and a thin layer of moss-like plants grew on the stone steps and walls, and a chill came from the depths of the darkness and invaded the bone marrow!

This dark tunnel seems to have no end, extending infinitely downward, and every step down, everyone's heart is also raised, I don't know whether it is the increasingly cold environment around them, or they have been groping in the unknown darkness for too long, the only two girls in the team unconsciously wrapped their hands around their shoulders, which is a posture to resist the cold, and it is also a posture to relieve their fears.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" Beges also had some difficulty suppressing his growing restlessness, and he took a deep breath, trying to keep his mind clear.

"It's here, right in front of us. Angela said slowly.

Stepping on the last stone staircase, Beggis, who was at the front of the crowd, exhaled as if relieved, his feet stepped on the ground at the end of the stone steps, and there was a muffled echo of footsteps in the empty darkness, echoes from all directions, and the sound that was originally only very slight was magnified several times in vain, echoing in the darkness and boundlessness.

Everyone subconsciously stopped their movements and stared with bated breath at the darkness as deep as ink.

The sound gradually disappeared after shuttling back and forth in the empty space a few times, and then a shallow cold light lit up in the boundless darkness, and then, a series of cold lights lit up from the darkness, instantly illuminating the empty space. The chilling glow was the same as the two flames on the outer wall of the monument, a faint blue flame.

It is a slightly empty stone chamber, with no extra decoration except for a candlestick on the wall with several wooden bars, and in the center of the stone chamber there is a five-pointed star stone platform similar to that used in sacrificial ceremonies, which occupies almost a third of the space of the stone chamber.

And those humans who Angela sensed were dying and lay quietly on the stone platform. They all had empty eyes open, and they didn't react to the sudden blue flames that dispelled the darkness, as if they were now left with a soulless shell.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you alright?" said Angela as she trotted to the edge of the stone platform and whispered to the man lying on the stone platform.

"Is that them?"
