Has the altar's appearance changed?
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin frowned.
"Literally." Ji Chaoyang's footsteps could be heard from the other side of the voice. "The four stone pillars and statues at the four corners of the altar are gone. The altar has moved to one side, and a staircase has appeared on the ground in the center of the altar!"
Stairway?
"The staircase leading to the bottom of the altar?" Xu Xin asked.
"It's indeed going down, but..." The footsteps stopped, and Ji Chaoyang's voice became a little confused. "But this passage is a dead end. It's blocked after just a few dozen meters."
At this time, Xu Xin had already moved away from the outer hills and entered the resource area.
What surprised him was that the red mist seemed to spread only around the hills, but did not enter the resource area surrounded by the hills.
This place still looks the same as before, but when you look around, you can see hills surrounded by red mist.
"I've broken through the red fog and will be at the altar soon. Wait a moment, I'll check on the situation here first."
"good."
Xu Xin rode on the Silver King and rushed towards the altar in the center of the resource area without stopping. It took him just over a minute to reach the altar.
When he saw the appearance of the altar at this time, he was still shocked even though he had heard Ji Chaoyang's description.
Just as Ji Chaoyang said, the stone pillars and statues on the four corners of the altar had all disappeared, leaving only four smooth stone bricks that were completely different from the rough and uneven altar floor.
The altar in the middle seemed to be pushed aside by someone. The entire altar moved horizontally, leaving its original position empty, revealing a dark passage underneath.
It felt to him like a coffin lid sliding open, looking somewhat eerie in the dark night.
Xu Xin rode the Silver King into the altar.
"Click." The familiar sound came from underground again.
He walked to the entrance of the underground passage and looked inside.
With his night vision ability, Xu Xin could easily see everything in the passage, and even see the end at a glance.
It was only about fifty or sixty meters away. Just as Ji Chaoyang had said.
"Keke, is there any danger in here?" Xu Xin touched Keke's head and asked.
"Hmm." Keke shook his head to indicate no and climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder. He knew Xu Xin was about to enter.
Xu Xin asked Yin Wang and Mimi to guard the entrance of the passage, while he took Coco and Bat into the staircase passage which was about two meters wide.
Unlike the stairs in the dungeon, the stairs under the altar were not damp at all, and were even very dry. The stairs and walls were covered with thick dust.
It's hot in the tunnel.
Although the temperature is already quite high and there is no wind today, making it very stuffy outside, the heat inside the passage is even more intense. The temperature has exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, and you might get heatstroke if you stay there for a long time.
Xu Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked downstairs.
There are some patterns on the walls of the passage.
He looked at it carefully and found that these patterns were basically the same as the patterns on the stone pillars outside. At the same time, they were also somewhat similar to the blood patterns on the mutant creatures.
Xu Xin reached out and touched it, and found that the wall was also abnormally hot. This must be the culprit for the hot and dry feeling in the cave.
The altar pillars had a similar experience. When he first touched them, he felt an unusual heat buildup, and during the sacrifice process, the pillars emitted even more astonishing heat.
In addition, the walls had the same patterns as the stone pillars. Xu Xin guessed that this passage might be like the stone pillars, requiring sacrifices to light up the patterns.
Coco jumped off his shoulders and ran towards the end of the passage.
"Don't run around, be careful of danger." Xu Xin reminded Keke.
"Hmm!"
The bat had been flying obediently beside him. When it saw Coco get off Xu Xin's shoulder, it landed on his shoulder to rest.
The further down you go, the hotter and more stuffy it gets and the temperature gets higher and higher.
When he reached the end of the passage, although he had only walked fifty or sixty meters, Xu Xin was already sweating profusely and his mouth was dry.
"Ying!" Coco turned around and called out to Xu Xin at the end of the passage. There was something on the ground next to it.
Xu Xin walked forward, saw something on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and reached out to pick it up.
[Damaged Windmill: The windmill that once possessed remarkable abilities has been completely destroyed after being sacrificed, becoming just an ordinary windmill.]
It was the small windmill that Xu Xin had returned to the stone statue of the little boy.
It seems that Changyin's family also came to this underground passage.
However, since it was a sacrifice that lost its power, why did it appear here?
Coco stood and looked at the paintings on the wall at the end of the passage.
"Hmm!" Coco touched the wall at the end of the passage with her little paws, then immediately retracted her hand and rubbed her two little paws together.
Standing in front of this wall, Xu Xin could clearly feel the rolling heat waves coming from this wall.
Gu Zie
The wall in front of me is completely out of tune with the wall of the passage, like a baffle inserted in the passage.
The patterns on the wall even emitted a faint glow, making the designs on the wall appear very clear in the darkness.
"Is this... a bear?"
There was a carving on the wall of an animal, standing upright with one claw raised, ready to strike. It was clearly a bear.
The bear carved on the wall looked very strong, with extremely thick limbs. It did not look like a black bear, but rather resembled the jungle overlord he had encountered, the majestic brown bear that looked to weigh tons.
