The three of them shuttled through the huge gap left in the stone wall and headed straight for the center. Along the way, they saw many ancient bronze utensils used for sacrifices, scattered casually on the ground.
Those bronze vessels were very broken and rusty, but Su Mu did not let them go. Instead, he examined them carefully. Although he had never seen a treasure, the bronze vessels that appeared in such a strange place might be a treasure.
However, it is not so easy to come across a treasure. These bronze artifacts are antiques at best, and have nothing to do with treasures. They do not contain the power of the law, and will even break if touched.
"There is a dead body here!" Yang Dongqing, who was in the front, suddenly stopped and stared at a black human-shaped object in the corner.
Su Mu walked forward and poked it with his serpentine wood cane and found that it was indeed a human corpse. The reason why it was charred all over was because it was burned by flames.
They continued to move forward, and the closer they got to the center, the more corpses they saw. The strange thing was that there were two causes of death for these corpses. One was that they were burned to a charred state, and the other was that there was no flesh or blood on the body, only white bones. And the white bones also had signs of decay.
"Is this not a place for sacrifice?" Yang Dongqing's face was solemn and fearful. The two corpses in different tragic states gave him a bad feeling.
"I heard that some people who believe in evil gods like to burn themselves to prove their piety. Could it be that those bones are a dedication of their own flesh and blood to the evil gods?" the bald man trembled.
"Stop, there is someone in the center of the square." Su Mu suddenly stopped in front of a stone wall. Behind the stone wall was the central square. He just heard faint voices, and there was more than one person.
Yang Dongqing and the other man both looked tense and cautiously approached the edge of the stone wall, intending to take a look at the situation in the square first.
"Three more unlucky guys."
"No need to hide, you three come out."
Several voices came from behind the stone wall.
Seeing that he was discovered, Su Mu no longer hid and walked out from behind the stone wall with the two of them.
What comes into view is an empty square, surrounded by a circle of huge stone pillars. The surface has been weathered, but traces of the once meticulous carvings can still be vaguely seen.
In the center surrounded by stone pillars, there is an altar as white as jade, and on the altar is a half-human-high statue.
The people who spoke earlier were leaning against the stone pillar. There were eight of them in total, seven men and one woman. Each of them had a murderous look on their face to a greater or lesser extent. They were well-equipped, some carrying cold weapons and some holding guns.
The most striking thing is that all eight people were injured. Three of them had extensive burns, and the remaining five had rotten limbs. In serious cases, their bones were even exposed.
"Which company are you three from?" A burly man wearing a tight black vest and camouflage pants stared at Su Mu and the other two and asked.
The sturdy man's left hand had almost rotted away, and the white bones were barely visible.
"Bronze coffin." Su Mu said lightly.
The sturdy man frowned slightly: "Another bronze coffin? I didn't expect that a newly established small company could recruit so many extraordinary people."
again?
Yang Dongqing was stunned: "Have you seen other extraordinary people in bronze coffins?"
Before the sturdy man could answer, a trembling young Taoist priest in the corner quickly raised his hand: "Me, me, me! I also have a bronze coffin."
Yang Dongqing looked at the Taoist priest and found that he didn't know him at all.
Su Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the young Taoist priest carefully. He had a handsome face, wore a green Taoist robe, had his hair in a Taoist bun, and carried an ancient long sword on his back.
When he saw the long sword, he immediately confirmed the other party's identity.
"Yes, he is the man in the bronze coffin." Su Mu's sudden voice made the Taoist happy.
"My fellow Taoist, have we known each other before? I didn't expect that you, coming from the Unmemorable, could recognize me. Unfortunately, I don't remember you at all now."
The Unmemorable? Is that the little monster's name?
Su Mu shook his head: "I don't know you."
"Ah?" The Taoist priest paused. "Then how can you be sure that I am the one who belongs to the bronze coffin?"
"Because you are the only one carrying a sword among the people present. I have seen sword marks on the dummy in the bronze coffin training room, but Murong Mengli has no impression of them. So I guess that someone else in the bronze coffin must have entered the abandoned city area before, but because of the unmemory person, Murong Mengli forgot about you."
"What!?" The Taoist was shocked. "My boss actually forgot about me. I sent her flowers every day after I joined the company. Although she didn't accept them, she couldn't have forgotten me. Then my flowers were sent in vain?"
For a moment, the Taoist priest felt as if he had been hit hard and became dejected, just like Yang Dongqing's expression when he was heartbroken.
"Shut up!" the sturdy man shouted angrily, "No one wants to hear about your failed love history. If we can't find a way to break the curse, we'll all die!"
The Taoist priest's face turned pale and he dared not say another word, as if he was very afraid of the burly man.
At this time, the sturdy man said to Su Mu and the other two, "My name is Tie Feng, a bronze level 3 transcendent, and I belong to the Lingshu Company founded by the second young master of the Murong family. I am the strongest among those present, and I will temporarily lead this makeshift team. How strong are you?
Don't think about hiding it. We are all on the same side now. The moment you entered this sacrificial land, you were already being watched by the idol. Now we can only survive if we work together to find a solution."
Statue of a deity?
Su Mu looked calmly at the human-shaped statue on the altar. The statue was very strange, half black and half white, as if it was made up of two completely different pieces of material.
The black part is as ferocious as a demon, and the white part is as holy as a god. Both of them have four wings behind their backs, which are also made up of black and white, making eight wings together. The gods and demons together form a whole, much like the angels and fallen angels in mythology.
"Yang Dongqing, bronze level one." Yang Dongqing was the first to report his name and level.
When everyone heard the Bronze One, they were immediately disappointed. It was obvious that they hoped for some powerful allies.
The bald man trembled and said, "My name is Zhao Yongqiang, and I am an ordinary person."
"How could an ordinary person not die at the hands of the Unmemorable? Do you have a treasure?" Tie Feng, a sturdy man, stared at Zhao Yongqiang and asked. The sense of oppression that seemed to be real made Zhao Yongqiang tremble even more. He waved his hands quickly: "No... No, he saved me."
Tiefeng followed Zhao Yongqiang's gaze and looked at Su Mu with a scrutinizing look on his face.
Su Mu smiled slightly: "Su Mu, bronze level three."
