Chapter 185: Caves under the Relief Cliff
There are seven huge stone reliefs in total. The statue of the faceless woman that Anvis had seen before is the second one on the left.
Several other giant stone statues are similar in appearance, but with slightly different gender characteristics.
The four stone statues from the left to the center all appear to be female, while the three on the right appear to be male.
To be honest, although the ancient mountains of the island are the most dangerous place on the entire island, they are not particularly dangerous during the day.
Apart from the cursed force fields that could only affect third-order professionals at most, the danger in the mountains mainly came from the monstrous monsters and plants that were affected by the cursed power.
Unlike the deep forest at the foot of the mountain, although it is also shrouded in a cursed force field, the environment still maintains an appearance of normality.
The species that can survive on the island's mountains have all been completely alienated and become strange.
Beside them, the Wind Knight Joem condensed a subtle sword energy and nailed a strange black weed that was quietly crawling towards the two of them to the ground.
With a piercing and tragic scream, the 'weed' twisted and twitched wildly, and a metallic luster flashed all over it.
The fourth-level magical aura that had been concealed until then burst out, and then completely turned into a solid ice sculpture.
Avis glanced at the frozen weeds and did not change direction, but continued to walk towards the cliff.
Alienated plants above level four are not very common, but due to the influence of the curse, the materials on the black grass are basically worthless.
As for the sample, since it was only at the fourth level and the curse on it was not complete, it was not worth collecting. . ….….After a while, the two came to the bottom of the stone wall.
Only when you get closer can you appreciate the enormity of the cliff reliefs.
Those relief figures are almost as tall as a mountain. If you stand close to the cliff and look up, it is difficult to see the whole picture at a glance.
The height ratio of the two people is not even up to the diameter of the twisted tentacles like sea lilies at the feet of the huge reliefs.
After a quick look at the cliff, Avis could see it clearly at this distance.
In the center of the cliff, below the huge faceless female statue, there is a dark oval black hole, leading deep into the rock layer to an unknown place.
This is the original destination of his trip.
The secret sacrificial site of the Moon Calling Cult, challenge level 80+ "Excuse me, Master Jom."
Taking a deep breath, Avis whispered.
Joem nodded slightly, raised his hands to his chest, put his fingertips together, palms facing each other, and recited a string of spells in a low voice.
After a moment, a beautiful, thin, ice-blue protective halo appeared between Jom's palms, and then flashed slightly, surrounding Avis' body.
Eighth-level protection school spell - [Zero Degree Ring]
A blue protective halo will appear on the body of the recipient. When attacked by the enemy, the ice ring will burst out with an ultra-low temperature infinitely close to absolute zero, freezing the attack and the enemy together.
Then, Joum did the same thing again, casting several high-level protective spells on Avis, [Spatial Mirror], [Mind Barrier], [Constant Wall]...
Although the word "knight" is included in the name of the profession, as a secret profession, the Howling Knight is an orthodox profession with a balanced development of magic and martial arts.
Moreover, in Unival, there are no specific career requirements for casting magic. The only limitation is to have sufficient mental strength and spell knowledge, and to prepare the corresponding spell materials.
In the dark cave, two cloaked figures broke the tranquility here.
The leader was wearing a brown traveler's cloak and had a powerful eighth-level aura. In the soothing darkness of the cave, he was extremely conspicuous like the bright moon at night.
Behind him was a young spellcaster wearing a long black cloak and with an extremely handsome face.
He held a slender staff inlaid with dark blue crystals, a spell book glowing with mithril light was suspended beside him, his body was covered with colorful defensive auras, and the thick dark green book was tied to his waist with a book chain.
After getting away from the crowd, Anvis had already removed his disguise.
After entering the cave, the first thing you see is a long corridor that slopes downwards. There are no signs of artificial excavation around it, and it seems to be completely formed naturally.
Since the player panel rated this place as having a challenge level of 80+, Anvis proceeded with extreme caution.
But the reality is that nothing happened along the way. Even the various alienated monsters and plants that are common among the mountains are nowhere to be seen here.
The state of the cursed force field here is also very strange. It seems to maintain a very repressive state, and its corrosiveness is far less than that of the active state.
The strength of the force field has increased slightly, but not much, and there is no essential difference from the force field between the mountains.
At the end of the corridor, there is a bottomless abyss whose depth is so deep that one cannot see the bottom at a glance. A shaky wooden bridge connects the two ends of the abyss, which gives people a sense of insecurity.
On the other side of the abyss is a large hemispherical cave.
Due to the great distance and the strange darkness in the cave, even with his darkvision, Avis could only vaguely see the scene on the other side of the abyss.
After crossing the bottomless abyss at the end of the corridor, Avis looked around the huge cave.
The layout of the cave made him feel very familiar, and it was very similar to the mysterious cave that appeared in his prophetic picture.
The dark cave was deserted, with ancient and strange decorative patterns carved on the walls and a huge rock altar standing deep in the cave.
In the ravine at the top of the altar, the thick dark red color solidified as if it was about to flow again.
However, there was no other item left on the altar, including the statue. It was so clean that it looked as if a player had been there before.
After thinking for a while, Avis carefully climbed to the top of the altar with Joem.
The long stone ritual platform was the only object left on the altar. The statue behind the stone ritual platform had disappeared.
In the middle and rear part of the top of the altar, there was an obvious mark on the ground, as if some huge heavy object had been forcibly moved away and left behind.
After carefully examining the mark, Avis extended his mental power and connected to the old secret scripture on his waist.
The thick dark green book opened by itself, and that kind of power with a faint sense of coldness once again attached itself to Avis's perception.
With his help, Avis sensed the familiar, obscure alien power that his clone had brought back from Evan.
Those forces gathered in the mark on the ground. They were not strong, but they lasted for a long time.
