Mr. Fox, please submit

It was getting dark, and the afterglow of the sun was no longer enough to illuminate the road under our feet.Yichen and his party hurried back to the camping place, filled their stomachs briefly, discussed the itinerary for tomorrow, and then went to sleep.

Yichen didn't sleep well all night, because he really couldn't guarantee whether a few mountain spirits and monsters would suddenly appear here.The tall and dense trees tightly covered most of the sky, and surrounded by the morning fog, I felt that there were countless eyes watching them. This feeling was like being slaughtered prey, which made people uneasy.

Finally, the sun's rays dispelled the dense fog covering the island, and Yichen and the others were already ready to set off at any time.Several people carefully inspected the mountain road covered by dead leaves and weeds with trekking poles. It is undoubtedly very maddening to advance to the camp step by step.

According to the guidance of the navigator, it was already noon when they came to the floodplain where the underground river flowed, and the sun was hot overhead reminding them.A few people randomly found a reliable big tree to block part of the sun, rested for a while, and started on the road again after lunch.

The closer to the destination identified by Yichen, the greener and denser the killing vines around him obviously grew, but this undoubtedly confirmed Yichen's thoughts.After walking for more than four hours, they finally found a rather huge group of stone buildings in the depths of the forest, among which the square square in the center was the most eye-catching.

But the most amazing thing is the huge stone statue standing at the entrance!The shape of this stone statue is very mighty, and it is holding a sword and shield. It is completely a general and a fighting god.And what is even more shocking is that this giant stone statue, which is close to 20 meters high by visual inspection, is actually carved from a complete rock, and then piled up to the top of the entrance, standing on the wall with only two feet!

"My God! What is this thing? Don't tell me that people in the past had a crane or something to lift this up!" Wu Boxue exclaimed.

"I said now is not the time to study this architecture?" The big head looked at him boredly.

Entering the interior of the square, you can clearly see that the entire environment is in a rectangular shape, with only two entrances, east and west, and the two ends form a central axis that is relatively connected.The most surprising thing is that starting from the stone statue of the animal head at the entrance, all the totem decorations around the square are clearly symmetrical.

"Is there really no place here? The arena?" After Ling Xuan looked around, he suddenly thought that such an architectural design seemed familiar.

"No way, if it's an arena, there should be auditoriums or something relatively speaking, just like the arenas in ancient Rome. But this is just a siege built with stones, and the place here It's not big, and besides the beast-shaped sculptures and decorations, there's no place for people to watch." Wu Boxue analyzed.

"That's right, but what's the use of building such a thing in the rainforest?"

"This is the altar. Dating back more than 3000 years ago, there were already tribes living in this area near the North Sea, and the building on the uninhabited island should be a product of that period. At that time, people's awe of ghosts and gods far exceeded The cognition of modern people, and you all have heard that in ancient times, living people were often used for sacrifices?" Yichen walked to the same square stone platform in the center of the square.

"Ah, you mean, this is a place where human sacrifices were performed before?" Indeed, the area near the stone platform is obviously darker than the surrounding stones, as if it has been soaked by something for a long time.Ling Xuan instinctively wanted to grab Wu Boxue's hand, but when he turned around, he realized that the other party had been wandering around behind Da Tou all the time.

Just when Ling Xuan was about to speak, someone suddenly grabbed his neck tightly from behind, and his hands were also firmly restrained.Then, a familiar voice came from the ear, which also caught Yichen's attention.

"Hehehe, welcome, welcome, you are all here!" Yichen will never forget He Gandao's face, but the strange thing is that the person in front of him is not the murderer he saw 18 years ago !

"Who are you? What is the purpose of trying to lure us here?" Yichen stared at him angrily.

"You are the grandson of Ouyang Daoming, right? You really look like that old man when he was young, especially his rebellious attitude!" He Gandao's voice was full of resentment.
