The cold and dry underground passage was already depressing, but Lu Jian's words invisibly added a layer of urgency to these people.
Among them, the one I feel most anxious about is probably Iron Fist.
He knew very well that if what Lu Jian saw was really the remains of a saint, then it meant that the secrets here might have exceeded his original imagination. Something that could be guarded by a saint's remains... was really shocking.
Unimaginable.
"The remains of the saint here are Achilles. He disappeared from people's eyes one hundred and thirty-two years ago. In other words, he was active for at least one hundred and thirty years after his death."
Iron Fist explained, not only to Lu Jian and the others, but also to his subordinates.
"Achilles possesses so much power that even the strongest wilderness hunter cannot confront him head-on. He is proficient in all weapons known to mankind. While he was alive, his city-state launched a massive revolution in just a few decades.
We have fought hundreds of wars without losing a single one."
"What about his city-state now?"
Lu Tan asked curiously.
"After his death, his remains left the city-state. Subsequently, the city was attacked by countless enemies and eventually disappeared from the map."
Iron Fist said sarcastically.
"It turns out that there were too many enemies when you were alive. After you die, everyone has their own vengeance and revenge."
Lu Tan nodded repeatedly.
A country that relies on war to support war will become the common enemy of those countries it once conquered when its combat effectiveness weakens.
"It can be said that Achilles is almost invincible in close combat. We should try to avoid confrontation with him... However, the condition of the saint's remains may have changed now, so we must be more cautious."
Iron Fist glanced at Lu Tan.
"Flash, you go ahead, Echo, you come back, I'll be second, you two follow me."
He commanded.
Flash is a young man whose eyes are crystallized. His jewel-like eyes can emit strong light and illuminate the passage.
And the echo seems to be able to make some kind of sound, which can be detected through the echo.
"ultrasound?"
Lu Tan quietly manifested [Last Words] in his hand to enhance his hearing, and heard the sounds coming from the young man's crystallized mouth and throat.
There were only indecipherable words on the damaged door. Lu Jian glanced at it and found that the Quiet Place had no intention of translating it for him, so he had no choice but to give up.
The passage became narrow and could only accommodate two people side by side. There seemed to have been paintings on the walls, but they had already peeled off and faded over time.
Lu Tan held the crowbar in his hand and looked over the shoulder of the person in front of him. He could see the dark road illuminated by flames. Perhaps, hundreds of years ago, the priests of the lost civilization walked on this road, heading towards
Go to the deepest part of the altar, where rituals are performed and life is dedicated to the gods.
"Wait a minute, this is an altar."
Lu Tan suddenly spoke.
"You don't need to remind me."
Wu Mian behind him replied.
"No, what I mean is that this is an altar. It is used in rituals. These roads are obviously for people to walk, and blood is required here to activate. In other words, this sacrificial ceremony should require sacrifices.
....”
Landscapes organize language.
"Is it possible that these complicated tunnels were actually used for sacrifices? These roads are not decorations or burdens, but are meant to trap something underneath?"
After he finished speaking, Iron Fist was startled.
"It is indeed possible."
Iron Fist came up with some guesses, but he didn't say them out loud.
"So, the act of activating this tunnel with blood just now represents the beginning of the sacrifice?"
Lu Tan said what Tie Fist was thinking.
"You mean, we are all sacrifices?"
When Shia reacted, the entire tunnel began to tremble violently.
"Look back."
Lu Tiao shouted, but behind them, the road had changed. The original passage back was blocked by a wall, as if the maze had a will of its own.
Even the rope used to find the way was broken, leaving only a small section on the ground.
"We're trapped."
The echo from the back of the palace made a loud sound.
"Don't be nervous."
Lu Jian said something and then put out the torch.
"Put out the fire and don't waste the air."
The reason why he didn't panic was that firstly, he didn't encounter any additional danger now, which was far less than the worst-case scenario. Secondly, he had seen similar situations in many adventure movies, usually involving a certain person.
The stupid pig teammate triggered the mechanism, causing changes in the tomb or secret realm, blocking the escape route.
This usually also means that if they go forward, they will most likely reach the core of this underground maze.
Several people extinguished their torches, leaving only flashes of illumination, and continued moving forward.
Shia used detection techniques to check her surroundings from time to time, but found no abnormalities.
Lu Tian thought of the pyramids. He had seen a documentary before about a group of people exploring the pyramids. At the end of the story, most of these explorers died due to various accidents, which added to the pharaoh's tombs.
Little mystery.
When he thought of this, Lu Tan suddenly felt that everyone's footsteps were not so messy.
"Wait a moment."
He said something, turned around, and saw that there was nothing unusual about Xia and Wu Mian. He turned around and continued to move forward.
"wrong."
Lu Tan said again, causing Iron Fist to stop.
"what happened?"
Iron Fist turned around and saw Lu Tan and Wu Mian, and he was a little confused.
"It always feels a little strange, it's too quiet."
Lu Tiao muttered to himself.
"You should leave quickly."
Wu Mian urged behind Lu Tiao, and Lu Tiao could only continue to move forward, following behind Glitter.
"I asked, how old were you when you started doing this?"
Lu Tan then spoke.
"Twelve years old."
Flash replied.
"That's very early. It must be very hard."
Lu Tiao suddenly felt that the surroundings were getting dark.
"Who are you talking to?"
Wu Mian asked behind him.
"Of course I'm talking to you."
Lu Tan answered naturally.
He did not continue speaking, but took two steps forward.
"Speaking of..."
In the darkness, with the vision provided by Lu Jian's [True Sight], there was no one else in the dark corridor except him.
"...Is that so?"
Before he knew it, his teammates had disappeared, but they didn't even realize it.
"Is it the influence of the extraordinary power of this dungeon? Or is it the power of the saint's remains?"
Lu Tiao remained calm, picked up the crowbar and knocked on the wall.
After a few muffled sounds, the wall seemed real.
He took out [Last Words] again, switched to ultrasonic mode, and explored the front.
"A straight path, about two hundred meters, diagonally downward, leading to a room?"
Lu Tiao roughly understood the situation.
He was about to walk forward when he saw the "remains of the saint" in white clothes and black hair standing in front of him, staring straight at him with his white-less eyes.
