Chapter 246: Old God Altar
Zhou Xu had long known that there was an 'Old God Altar' hidden in this mountain.
However, Manshi only brought four subordinates with him at that time, and followed the people of the Gray Fox Tribe to confirm the location of the altar. Afterwards, he left the four subordinates behind to guard the altar.
This resulted in the fact that except for the people of the Gray Fox Tribe and Manshi and his companions, everyone else only knew that such a thing existed, but did not know where the "Old God Altar" was.
It was not until they conquered the Stone Tribe and captured the people of the Gray Fox Tribe that they learned the exact location of the "Old God Altar".
After breakfast, Zhou Xu set off quickly, taking the rattan armor soldiers as guards.
The altar is located near the Gray Fox Tribe's camp, and it's quite a distance away from the Stone Tribe's camp.
In addition, the mountain road was difficult to travel on, and by the time they arrived, it was almost noon.
Outside the cave, the four subordinates that Manshi had left behind had been tied up and thrown outside, waiting to be escorted to the camp later, while their people had completely taken over the guarding work here.
"leader!"
Seeing Zhou Xu coming with the rattan armor soldiers, the soldiers saluted.
After Zhou Xu simply nodded, he walked into the cave impatiently.
Along the way, he really thought a lot about this 'Old God Altar'.
[Can the 'Old God Altar' still be used? ]
[If it works, can I use that altar to go back? ]
[But before I traveled through time, I had already died in a car accident. If I traveled back again, did I appear out of thin air, or what? ]
[After all, in that world, after I died, did my body disappear due to time travel? Or was it cremated?]
[If I could really travel back in time, would I go back? ]
Along the way, all kinds of messy thoughts never stopped running through Zhou Xu's mind.
These thoughts finally stopped until he came to the altar!
It was an altar made entirely of stone, exactly the same as the one that had summoned him before.
But unlike the altar that summoned him, this one exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere, making people who approached it unconsciously tense their bodies.
He walked slowly towards the altar. Like his own, the strange symbols on the altar formed a circle with a diameter of about five meters.
Zhou Xu tried to see clearly and even remember those symbols.
But in the process, he found that these symbols were clear and blurry.
This feeling was extremely contradictory, but it was his true feeling at this moment.
He could see every symbol clearly, but when he tried to memorize them in his mind, he found that they were blurry and he couldn't remember them at all.
[Is this the power left by the old gods on this altar, interfering with me? ]
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Zhou Xu's mind.
【Eye of Insight! 】
Zhou Xu did it as soon as he thought of it. He directly activated the power of mantra to see what was going on.
Little did he know that in the next second, he felt a sudden muffled buzzing sound in his head and a severe pain, which made him hold his head on the spot.
At the same time, Zhou Xu's eyes turned blood red, and two lines of blood and tears flowed directly from his eye sockets and slid down his cheeks.
Zhou Xu clenched his teeth tightly, almost breaking them, and tried not to scream out, secretly feeling lucky in his heart...
[Luckily, before I came in, I asked everyone else to wait outside and not follow me in. ]
Although there was no mirror at the moment, Zhou Xu could roughly imagine how miserable he looked now.
If his subordinates saw this, wouldn't it affect his dignity as a leader? Zhou Xu slowly exhaled a long breath, and then took another deep breath to calm himself down.
The pain in his head was only momentary, and it was still a little uncomfortable at the moment, but his eyes were burning with pain!
He reached out and touched it, and it was immediately stained with blood.
Looking around, he saw that everything was red.
"Damn it."
Zhou Xu, who was afraid that his eyes would be damaged at this moment, suppressed his uneasiness, took out the animal skin water bag on his waist, and washed the blood off his face and hands.
After that, he closed his eyes again to relax for a while, and opened them again. Although he could still feel the stinging pain, the redness in his eyes had faded a lot, which made Zhou Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
Then his gaze fell on the 'Old God's Altar' again, and his face was filled with awe that he had never had before.
[This is probably some kind of restriction left by the old gods on the altar, on the one hand to protect the altar, and on the other hand to prevent the power on the altar from being spied on.]
During this period, Zhou Xu made a small attempt to absorb the power of the mantra on the altar, but there was no response to the power of the mantra contained in the altar.
Obviously, under normal circumstances, the power of the mantra contained in this altar cannot be absorbed.
[If I smash this altar and turn it into ruins, can I absorb the power of the mantra from the ruins? ]
At this moment, a bold idea flashed through Zhou Xu's mind.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
He just wanted to peek at the altar, but he suffered backlash. If he took action, he couldn't imagine what would happen.
It's better not to try this kind of thing which is a bit suicidal.
[But how do I use this altar? It shouldn't be difficult to use, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to summon me so easily in the first place...]
At this moment, Zhou Xu was thinking about this.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the system prompt sounded again in his mind...
[System prompt: Do you want to inject the power of mantra into the 'altar'? ]
The system, which usually had no sense of existence and would not even pop up, suddenly popped up at this moment, which really scared him.
Then quickly refused.
[No, no, no! ]
After all, he had never done anything like this before. He had no idea what would happen after injecting the power of mantra into the altar. He hadn't made any preparations at the moment and didn't dare to try it rashly.
What if something unexpected happens? Wouldn’t it be a big trouble?
Just as he was struggling, his eyes slowly relaxed.
It would take some time for his eyes to fully recover, and he couldn't just stay here forever.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xu finally decided to go back to the camp first.
Walking out of the cave, the rattan armor soldiers guarding outside noticed, without surprise, the visibly red eyes of their leader.
"Chief, your eyes..."
"It's okay. I've used the mantra too much these past two days, and the light in this cave is poor, so my eyes are just a little tired."
His "Eye of Insight" was not a secret in the first place, so when he said this, his subordinates naturally believed it and stopped asking questions.
"You guys, continue to guard here and don't let anyone get close easily. The rest of you, follow me to the Red Stone Camp."
"yes!"
