Magic pet's black technology lair

Chapter 439 Death Temple
Ji Qianshan thought for a moment, as if organizing his words, and said: "There are many strange things inside the mountainside, so I won't go into details. I will only talk about the most important thing, that mountainside is a death temple."

He fell silent after saying this, and didn't speak again for a long time.

"And then?" Qiao Zuo couldn't help asking.

Ji Qianshan pointed at the surrounding stone temple walls, "I suddenly thought that the many corpses in the temple at the belly of the mountain might be members of the sect that left this ruins."

Continued: "There is an everlasting flame burning inside the mountainside temple, which is as bright as day, which is completely different from the scene of the undead skeleton lair I imagined before. In the center of its space stands a statue of a god, nine feet nine inches high... Around the statue, there are all Skeletons in worship gestures. There is a pool of blood under the statue, which should be melted with the blood of monsters or humans."

Ji Qianshan said: "There were few living creatures on the ancient continent, and death was everywhere. Maybe the source was this death temple. The blood pool obviously needs the blood of countless living beings to fill it, and it will never dry up. This seems to be some kind of mysterious. And the ancient sacrificial ritual."

Qiao Zuo asked: "You are covered with blood, how did you cause it?"

Ji Qianshan: "I pretended to take part of the blood in the blood pool. At that time, people from the church broke in, and then came in an old man in green robes (ghost elephant), who was very powerful in fighting. When we were arguing, we smashed one of us. The container containing the blood pool, the blood splashed on me... After that, the half-body skeleton suddenly returned to the mountainside temple, the strange thing is that it didn't stay long, it only stayed for a while and then left the mountainside."

Cao Yan thought to himself: The half-body skeleton returned to the mountainside first, and then it must have sensed that Liujia and I were about to enter the island in the middle of the lake and rushed to the World Tree.

At this time, Ji Qianshan took out a magic crystal and said, "Look. In addition to the situation I mentioned in the temple at the belly of the mountain, there are also very special symbols carved on the ground and four walls, spreading the breath of death. The arrangement of the symbols I learned from Never seen it.”

Ji Qianshan sent spiritual power into the crystal and turned it on, and part of the picture he rubbed from the mountain belly was reflected in the crystal.

The space inside the mountain is naturally excavated, quiet and solemn, and the scene is just as described by Ji Qianshan.

There are symbols on all four walls that emit a faint light.

These symbols are so special that they are constantly connected and evolving like spirituality, and are always in a dynamic state of change.

Due to the large number of symbols, countless possibilities are created by continuous changes, as if they can exhaust the infinite mysteries of the heavens and the world.

Cao Yan looked at it for a while: "I can't see the mystery of these symbols, I need to study them."

Ji Qianshan and Qiao Zuo looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

The two of them were used to Cao Yan's amazing performance in semiotics, and they were a little surprised to hear him say something that he didn't understand in this aspect for the first time.

Ji Qianshan said: "Then hurry up and study the symbol system in this crystal. I always feel that the real mystery of the mountainside temple lies in these symbol systems."

Cao Yan nodded, he also felt that such a complex symbol system must hide a great secret.

"Cao Yan, what did you find on the World Tree?" Qiao Zuo asked.

There is nothing that cannot be said about the experience of exploring the World Tree. Cao Yan briefly described it, only omitting the existence of Eggy, and there is nothing to hide.

Ji Qianshan suddenly said: "The half-body skeleton returned to the mountainside and then suddenly withdrew. It turned out that it went to the World Tree Lake Island where you are, preventing you from going to the island with the leader of the sea tribe. So at least in the half-body skeleton's cognition , the island in the center of the lake on the World Tree is more important than the mountainside where it resides."

Qiao Zuo said: "Cao Yan, you just said that the leader of the Sea Clan took the initiative to help you stop the half-skeleton's pursuit?"

Cao Yan hummed: "The two big brothers are well-informed, but do you know why the leader of the Hai clan suddenly got close to me?"

Ji Qianshan and the others were stunned for a moment. Apparently they were a little uncomfortable with the earthly dialect of the boss, but they understood the meaning and said dumbly: "This is really weird, and we can't figure out the reason for the moment."

……

Inside the frame of the bead curtain, the ghost elephant stared at the beautiful picture scroll on the wall of the car, and responded to Liujia: "The content of this picture is the oldest legend of our sea tribe, and it tells about the ancient symbol of our sea country, which was captured by the sea god. The beloved mythical creature is shooting down the stars in the sky with thunder... It is the legendary ancient totem beast of our family."

Liujia nodded slightly: "You said that the species of totem beast will still exist in the world?"

Ghost Xiang laughed and said: "The Poseidon genealogy handed down by our clan clearly records that in ancient times, the air dynamics between heaven and earth were different from now. Two Dirnadoas (the name of the totem beasts given by the Sea Clan) were once born. [-]), dominating the Nine Seas. Later, one of them disappeared mysteriously, and no one knew its whereabouts. The other died in the siege of several major overlord creatures in the ocean at that time, and there was no longer a Dirnadoa beast in the world."

Liujia said: "But the world is so big, and the ocean is vast and boundless, who dares to say that Dirnadoya really doesn't exist?"

The topic changed: "You pass on the order, we will terminate this cooperation with the Church of the Kingdom of God."

Ghost Xiang was greatly surprised, and said in a daze, "What does your lord mean?"

Liujia: "Let's withdraw directly from the ancient continent. I have something urgent to go back to the capital Sea God Palace."

……

Xingchen Mountain, the ruins of the Stone Palace.

Ji Qianshan exchanged messages with Cao Yan and Qiao Zuo, and then discussed the next step.

The altar mountain area at the core of the ancient continent is shrouded in layers of fog. If you can't further explore its secrets, you will have to regret it in the future.

Therefore, Ji Qianshan decided that the team of the association would be stationed in Xingchen Mountain temporarily, so that it could be teleported through the altar at any time to observe and grasp the changes within the range of the altar mountain, hoping to further understand the secrets there and gain something.

On the other hand, Cao Yan is in charge of finding out the semiotic system printed in the belly of the mountain as soon as possible, and see what is hidden in it.

Qiao Zuo said: "According to the law of the appearance of ancient continents in different historical periods, it is likely that the barriers will be closed and disappear again in the daytime. We must hurry up."

Ji Qianshan nodded, then took out another trapping ball, and said with a smile, "I will show you what I have harvested in the belly of the mountain." As he spoke, he opened the trapping ball and released a few things.

Among them were the skeletons of many monsters, as well as several large containers, full of scarlet blood.

Cao Yan was a little jealous, and said nonsense with a straight face: "My lord, I have recently become interested in the study of paleontology. Most of the monster bones you got in the mountain are rare species. They have a long history. Can I take some of them one by one as a specimen?" , study and research in your free time?"

Ji Qianshan said: "These things were shrunk down by the secret method, and they were placed in front of the god statue in the mountain belly. They looked like sacrifices, and I took them by hand. When I return to the headquarters of the association, these things must be handed over. But we are running around, taking some for our own use is not a violation of the rules, just pay attention to the scale. Take it.”

Cao Yan has always had a thick skin, so he stepped forward to choose immediately.

Every time he picked up a small piece of the bone of the monster that Ji Qianshan brought back by hand, and put it in his trapping ball, the fake system in his consciousness announced the good news: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the bone of the ancient monster, the sea dragon crocodile, points + 50, servant points +50..."

Cao Yan thought happily: The exploration mission of the ancient continent is absolutely necessary, and the accumulation of points in waves, although not many at a time, adds up to a considerable amount.

At the same time, in the area where the altar mountain is located, there is a small group of ants sneaking up to the surrounding area of ​​the mountain, and they start digging pits and stealing holes, preparing to try to sneak into the belly of the mountain.

On the World Tree, there was also an abandoned Abyss Demon Spider, which hid on a branch in a panic and carefully observed its surroundings.
