Chapter 247: Altar of the Old God (Part 2) (Additional chapter for 300 monthly tickets)
Starting from the altar, Zhou Xu managed to arrive at the Red Stone Camp before dark.
Zhou Chongshan, who had received the news in advance and stayed in the Red Stone Camp because of an injury in his left hand, hurried out to greet them.
"leader!"
Looking at Zhou Chongshan walking over, Zhou Xu's gaze fell on his left hand again.
"How's your hand?"
"Don't worry, Chief. It's nothing serious. Just apply some medicine for a while and it will be fine."
Zhou Chongshan said this with a hint of relief in his tone.
His left hand was not seriously injured this time. On the one hand, it was thanks to the vine shield that absorbed some of the impact force for him. On the other hand, it was because it was his entire forearm that bore the impact of the force this time, not just a single wrist joint. This can be described as the difference between a point and a surface.
Of course, there is another very important reason.
That is, when his right hand was injured and he couldn't train, he focused on training his left hand every day, greatly improving the strength of his left hand.
I didn't expect it to work here.
"By the way, Chief, we found Zhang Peng, the person you asked us to pay attention to before. In addition, we also found a new thing."
This is unexpected news.
"Let's go and take a look."
As he spoke, Zhou Chongshan brought Zhou Xu directly to Zhang Peng.
"Although his face was destroyed, I saw him in front of the battle, so it must be him."
“…”
Listening to Zhou Chongshan's words, Zhou Xu's expression was subtle at this moment.
Because at this moment, what was in front of him was not a living person, but a corpse that was unrecognizable, and the corpse was covered with footprints that were visible to the naked eye...
Zhou Xu could probably guess how he died.
The situation was extremely chaotic at the time, and this guy was very unlucky. He must have been trampled to death in the chaos.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu carefully looked him up and down and completely confirmed his identity.
"I thought he had escaped during the chaos, but he ended up dying like this."
Speaking of which, he really felt a little sad in his heart.
However, this sigh lasted less than a second. The only thing he and Zhang Peng had in common was that they were both time travelers. But apart from this, not only did they have no friendship, they were even enemies.
Zhou Xu now would not be sad about this matter. His attention quickly shifted to the "new thing" that Zhou Chongshan had mentioned before.
"Chongshan, what's that new thing you were talking about?"
"This is it."
While speaking, Zhou Chongshan signaled to the soldier beside him to bring a fist-sized stone.
When Zhou Xu first saw this situation, he thought that he had discovered some mantra characters again, and he was excited for a moment.
However, after getting closer, he quickly discovered that there was no glow of the power of mantra on the stone, but it was not an ordinary stone either.
"This is……"
While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu's eyes were completely fixed on the stone that the soldier brought over.
The color of the stone was more of a reddish-brown color, and one side of the stone was granular and densely packed. After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Xu felt a little uncomfortable.
As I said before, he has no knowledge of minerals, so naturally he can't see much about them now. Anyway, it is not an ordinary stone that can be found everywhere.
At that time, they had just conquered the Red Stone Tribe, occupied the camp, and were thinking about their next plan. Before they could search the camp thoroughly, the Barbarian Stone Tribe came to attack.
It was not until the battle was over and post-war work was completed that people finally had the time to search, and then they found this reddish-brown stone in the camp.
"I asked the captives of the Red Stone Tribe, and they said that there are people who can pick up this kind of stone near their camp. The reason why their Red Stone Tribe is called the Red Stone Tribe is because there are these red stones nearby."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded.
"Go ahead and talk to Shi Lei. After everything here is over, send some people to the nearby area to collect these red stones. Once a certain amount is collected, send them to Black Moon Village and have the Forging Department study them."
"yes!"
After arranging another thing, Zhou Xu took Zhou Chongshan to the tent they had set up, and asked about the main purpose of his trip.
"Chongshan, I have something to ask you. What was the scene like when you performed the ceremony to summon me? Tell me about it."
The fact that there is an "altar of the old gods" in this mountain is no longer a secret. Zhou Chongshan and the others have known about it for a long time.
Now that the leader came to him to ask questions, Zhou Chongshan was naturally not surprised.
"What happened was that a light suddenly shone from the altar. The light became stronger and stronger, and then a figure appeared in the light. When the light dissipated, you, the leader, were standing on it."
Zhou Chongshan described the process in a very simple but clear way.
"What about you? Did you feel anything strange during this process?"
Faced with this question, Zhou Chongshan thought about it for a while and then shook his head.
"No, we just prayed down there. During the prayer, a voice appeared in our minds, chanting the words of the prayer. We sang along uncontrollably. When it finished, the ceremony was over."
[It seems that when the old god built the altar, he made a very comprehensive plan. It should be that as long as a certain medium is triggered, the altar will be activated, and then guide them to complete the ceremony, ensuring to the greatest extent possible that as long as someone comes, they can successfully complete the ceremony and summon the Chosen One to come.]
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu was now in a state of confusion.
[So should I use the altar? ]
To be honest, Zhou Xu's purpose in finding the 'Old God Altar' from the very beginning was to obtain the true words on it.
But now this road is blocked, and the question before him suddenly becomes whether or not to summon another time traveler through the 'Old God Altar'.
Under this premise, there is no need to say much about Zhou Xu's concerns. He is just afraid that the new time traveler will cause trouble for him!
You know, the thinking patterns of many time travelers are completely different from those of these primitive people.
Even many only children have been spoiled since childhood. They think that the world revolves around themselves. They act like they are the boss and they lack the beatings of society.
If he summoned such an evil, wouldn't he become a great enemy? In the final analysis, this was a huge destabilizing factor that prevented Zhou Xu from making up his mind.
But on the other hand, although he is a modern man, as an ordinary university graduate, what he knows is still limited. If he can summon some people with stronger professional knowledge to assist him, then they will definitely become stronger.
This put Zhou Xu in deep trouble.
