Chapter 943: The Second Altar
"Li Daoyou, but what have you discovered?" Seeing this, Shi Chuankong hurriedly asked.
"I did find something, come with me. Han Li nodded and quickened his pace.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them stopped one after the other, and looked ahead at the same time.
At the end of the desert as far as the eye could see, a huge river appeared.
The river is quite magnificent, more than ten miles wide, and the water in it is also a red color, rolling up countless waves, rumbling and flowing forward.
Han Li walked over to the river and slightly tested the red water.
A flash of surprise flashed across his face as if the red river was filled with a scorching force, as if it had been flowing with magma.
"I didn't think there was a river in the desert...... I think it's better for us to follow the river downstream, because the river is strange, and there must be something strange downstream. Shi Chuankong said after a little hesitation.
"That's what I mean. Han Li nodded.
The two of them then changed direction and walked downstream along the red river, walking for four or five days, and soon found a huge oasis in front of them.
Although it is an oasis, the plants on it are mostly red in color, and the rest are all white.
The vegetation in the oasis is tall and dense, red and white, and it looks quite gorgeous.
When the two of them saw the oasis, although they were quite happy, they were not impulsive, and after looking at each other, they each restrained their breath, boarded the oasis, and headed inside.
"Li Daoyou, look!" The two of them walked some distance inside, and the stone suddenly stopped Han Li and pointed to the dense jungle ahead.
Han Li looked over and saw a footprint faintly visible in the jungle, it looked relatively new, it should have been left not long ago.
"It seems that someone came here before us, I don't know if it's friend or foe, be careful. Han Li said.
Stone pierces the air and condenses the head.
The two of them continued to move forward, keeping an eye on their feet, and the further they went, the more similar footprints they found.
Judging by the number of footprints, it should be a group of people who entered here first, and the number of people is estimated to be four.
The two of them quickly passed through the dense jungle, and the scenery suddenly opened up in front of them, with a huge city in front of them.
Inside the castle stood a series of buildings, the roofs of which were spiky, as if a giant sword pierced the sky, and the whole body was red.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong glanced at each other and quietly advanced, entering through the half-open city gate.
The buildings in the castle are also somewhat decayed, but they are much better than the previous ruins, and the main body of the buildings is mostly intact.
The two searched the buildings near the city gate, many of which were also empty, and they could see traces of rummaging, which should have been done by the group of people in front of them, and they didn't find anything.
"It's really strange, didn't it mean that there are countless treasures in the ruins? We've been here for a while, and we haven't found any treasures at all, except for two star weapons. Shi Chuankong said with some unwillingness.
"It's already a big deal to get one or two star weapons. Let's go, this place has been searched by the group of people in front of us, and it is estimated that nothing will be left, so let's go directly to the center of the city to see, hoping to find something there, but be careful. Han Li replied with a smile.
Shi Chuankong was shocked when he heard this, and agreed.
The two of them sneaked towards the city, which was not very large, and they soon reached the center, and their faces changed at the same time.
In the center of the city is a large square, where a huge altar stands.
This altar is also red all over, but looking at its appearance, it is very similar to the silver-gray altar that I encountered earlier in the ruins.
A plaque hanging at the entrance of the altar reads "Youming Palace" in Xuanwen.
"This place looks very similar to the previous altar, and there should be some good things in it, should we go in and have a look?" The two hid in a building near the entrance to the altar, looking at the open door of the altar, and said in a voice that was a little eager to try.
"Then go in and have a look. But along the way just now, I didn't meet the group of people in front of me, I think they may have entered this at the moment, I still said before, be careful. Han Li looked at the altar in front of him and said after a slight deep groan.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. Shi Chuankong patted his chest and said.
"Let's go. Han Li glanced at his chest and spoke.
The two figures swept out of the building in a flash, turning into two puffs of green smoke, and with a flicker, they disappeared into the entrance to the altar.
Shortly after the two figures swept into the entrance to the altar, white light flashed on the entrance floor, revealing an oval-shaped pattern.
This oval pattern was impressively composed of eight star runes, each of which was extremely complex, far above those star runes that Han Li had learned from Lady Liuhua.
The oval pattern slowly lit up, and white light emerged from it, converging towards the center, forming a white vertical stripe, which, with the oval frame outside, looked like an eye.
The white vertical lines trembled slightly, and it looked as if they had looked twice into the depths of the entrance, and soon dimmed and disappeared.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong didn't know anything about the situation behind them, and after entering the entrance gate, they headed towards the depths.
Behind the entrance of the altar is a passage hundreds of zhang long, and the passage is the same as the previous silver-gray altar, the walls are covered with formation patterns, and there is a forbidden force everywhere, imprisoning the power of divine consciousness.
It's just that the forbidden power here is slightly weaker than the Silver Ash Altar, and Han Li's divine sense can barely leave his body by about two or three zhang.
The two of them walked carefully through the corridor, and a huge hall with a size of a thousand zhang appeared in front.
The light in the hall here is quite bright, and there is nothing, but there are square hollows several feet high in the four walls, there are as many as two or three hundred, but the inside is empty.
And the things inside, lying on the floor of the hall at the moment, are a crimson puppet, which looks like they are all humanoid, and they have been dismantled.
The ground was a mess of potholes and traces of battle.
This red puppet had all the internal organs in its body, and a large amount of silver slime poured out of its body and flowed all over the ground, just like the black ape puppet that Han Li had encountered at the beginning.
The wolf beast puppets that had fought before, the tiger head puppets and other things were not like this, there were no internal organs in the body, just a body made of rough materials.
Seeing this, Han Li's thoughts turned in his heart, and he faintly had a layer of understanding of the puppet in the Great Ruins.
He picked up a fragment of a puppet and looked at it carefully, his eyes flickering.
This puppet fragment seems to be made of fire jade, although it is already a fragment at this moment, it is still flashing with bursts of fiery red crystal, it looks very spiritual, and the quality is extremely extraordinary, far above the materials used by the black ape puppet, and the strength is only above it.
Fortunately, these puppets had been destroyed by the people in front of him, otherwise he would have found it tricky to be besieged by dozens of such puppets.
But think farther, those people in front of you can get rid of these puppets, and their strength must be extraordinary.
"There are some dangers here, so be careful. Han Li's eyes flashed and he said slowly.
Shi Chuankong also seemed to understand the message conveyed by the scene in front of him, and nodded solemnly.
The two of them didn't stay here for long, and walked towards the depths of the giant hall.
Behind the Great Hall is a doorway, behind which is a dimly lit passage that leads to the depths.
As Han Li walked, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes as he looked at the puppet fragments around him.
The puppets here were dismantled in pieces, not like they were made by a fierce battle, but rather like someone was trying to find something in these puppets, and after the battle, these puppets were cut down one by one to make them what they are now.
What's in these golems that is worth the trouble of finding?
The two quickly made their way through the hall and into the back passageway.
Han Li immediately shook his head, collected his thoughts, and didn't think much else, concentrating on the situation around him as he cautiously walked along the passage.
The passage is not straight, it is curved and the terrain is sinking.
After turning a corner, three identical forks suddenly appear in front of you.
The light in the three forks in front of you is also quite dim, and you can't see far.
Shi Chuankong turned his head to look at Han Li and didn't speak, but that gaze was obviously asking, "Which way?"
Han Li's gaze swept over the three forks and quickly stopped on the ground of the middle passage.
Although extremely vague, a few footprints can be seen here, leading to the depths.
The two passages next to it are clean and clean, and there is no trace of anyone walking on them.
"Let's go on both sides, the passage in the middle is where the group of people in front of me walked, even if there are good things, they must have been taken away by those people, and there may be some gains by walking on both sides. Han Li groaned slightly and said.
Shi Chuanuchi thought about it and did not object.
The two of them deliberated for a moment and stepped into the passage on the right.
The passage was quite spacious, enough for four or five people to walk side by side, and the deeper you went, the area of the passage showed faint signs of getting larger.
A faint white glow shone through the cracks in the stone of the passage, and the light was brighter than it had been at the beginning.
As a result, the two of them didn't go far when a sharp roar suddenly came from the front.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong's faces changed slightly, and they immediately stopped.
Without waiting for the two of them to sit down, a white shadow flashed in front of them, and a man in white pounced like lightning, holding a white lightsaber, which turned into a cold light at this moment, and stabbed straight into the chest of Han Li, who was walking in front.
This sword was as fast as lightning, and Han Li couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly made a wrong step and dodged sideways.
At the same time, the white light in his hand flashed, and there was already more of the white scimitar, and with a wave, it turned into a thunderous knife light, and at the moment when the two of them were staggered, it slashed at the chest of the man in white.
A strange scene has appeared!
The sword light pierced through the man in white, as if it was slashed in the air, and he didn't feel the slightest force.
Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but let out a soft sigh in his mouth.
The white-clothed man's swift figure did not change at all, and he rushed straight to the stone piercing air behind him, and the lightsaber in his hand turned into a cold light again, stabbing him in the chest.
Shi Chuankong was stunned at first, but his reaction was not slow, and his body hurriedly flashed to the side, and he was able to dodge this sword.
The man in white was extremely fast, and his strain strength seemed to be a little worse, and after the blow that attacked Han Li and the others missed, he rushed forward for some distance before he stopped.
But it immediately turned around and lunged at the two of them again.
