In a dark underground maze where teammates disappeared one after another, it was quite scary to see the saint's remains suddenly appear like this.
It just looked at Lu Tiao, motionless, like a cat observing its prey.
After a moment of silence, Lu Tan felt that he couldn't go on like this.
He reached into his backpack and pulled out an energy bar.
"Do you want to eat?"
The remains of the saint just stared at Lu Jian's hand, not taking his eyes away. Well, there were no eyes in his eyes. Only his head was moving along with it, like an owl.
It didn't answer.
Lu Jian took apart the energy bar, approached the opponent cautiously, and placed the energy bar exuding the scent of oil and nuts in front of the saint's remains.
It tilted its head, as if it didn't understand what Lu Jian was doing.
"Does it look like you don't want to eat..."
Lu Jian originally thought that it might be hungry because it hadn't seen anyone for more than a hundred years and it didn't look like there was food here, but now it seemed like it wasn't interested in food.
Does this mean that after death, people will not feel hungry?
Lu Jian felt that he had made a discovery big enough to win the Nobel Prize.
Looking at the energy bar in his hand, Lu Tian thought for a moment and put it back just like this. If there was any strenuous exercise later, it would definitely be crushed in the bag, which would be troublesome to clean up.
So he ate it himself.
Click click click click——
The sound of chewing echoed in the ancient passage.
The remains of the saint also imitated Lu Tiao, crunching and chewing the air in his hands.
"You have lived here for so long, do you know where my companion is?"
Lu Tan asked.
"******"
The remains of the saint answered.
"That's it. Can you help find them?"
"*****"
The remains of the saint answered again.
"In this way, if you help me find my teammates, I will treat you to a pumpkin, a delicious pumpkin."
Lu Tan refused to give up.
"****"
The remains of the saint tilted his head.
Immediately, it disappeared from its original position, as if it had been erased by something.
Then, the white figure appeared in the deeper passage, as if waiting to land and stumble over.
"Then I can only move forward..."
Lu Tiao moved forward, and in [Real Vision], the paintings on the wall gradually became clearer, perhaps because the closer to the depth, the less interference from the outside world.
He couldn't help but admire these paintings.
Lu Tan had probably read about several stages of human painting in some idle book. The paintings on the wall had a strong color of faith. The characters had formed a fixed paradigm and had obvious symbolic characteristics. To put it simply, they could pass through
Several signs to show that this thing is a human being, rather than the original painting style that relies solely on lines and looks like what it is.
Therefore, such paintings can tell a certain story.
The story doesn't have any highlights, it's nothing more than fragments of some kings' conquests, development, and governance. Only due to the emergence of crystal nucleosis, these people have more or less crystals on their bodies.
Lu Jian noticed that the kings and priests were not depicted with crystals. In other words, they might not have symptoms of crystal nucleosis?
He thought about the remains of the saint. Judging from the appearance, no crystals could be found.
Maybe the saint found some way to suppress his own nucleosis and was able to live for such a long time.
As Lu Tiao continued to go down, he saw that the painting began to change. An altar appeared frequently, and the scene of sacrifice emerged in the painting.
First, the passage to Hades needs to be opened, and then the sacrifices must be driven into the passage. Then, Pluto hiding in Hades will wake up, and he will wander within his kingdom, looking for sacrifices, and
After being satisfied, leave and give people treasures.
It is a very primitive belief story. In ancient society, people usually personified natural phenomena and turned them into various gods, and death was particularly prominent.
By the time some gods with abstract concepts appeared later, it was already the period of religious belief.
"Is this the kingdom of Hades?"
"Could it be that you are Pluto?"
Lu Tan glanced at the remains of the saint standing by the wall.
The murals have come to an end, and those rather primitive and cruel scenes have come to an end in darkness.
When Lu Jian came to the end of the passage, he could see a circular hall.
He walked into the hall and saw a man standing not far away.
It's Iron Fist.
The clothes on his body were a bit tattered, and the crystals of his right fist formed an arm armor that extended to his shoulders, making him look like a powerful warrior.
Iron Fist looked like he had gone through a lot of fighting, and there was still some blood from an unknown creature on his body.
Next to Iron Fist is Faceless, with scars on his cheeks and uneven crystal edges covering half of his face.
Everyone else, including Echo and Flash, arrived in the rotunda.
Except Shia.
Lu Tiao took a look and saw that the rotunda was connected to ten roads, and the other roads were dark and did not look like there were people there.
"I just walked halfway and you disappeared, and then a bug appeared. It will take a little time to deal with it."
The crystals on Iron Fist's hand gradually shrank back and turned into an ordinary fist again.
It seems that the extraordinary beings in the wasteland will spread the crystals on their bodies when using their abilities, and it is for this reason that the crystal core disease will be aggravated.
"Me too."
Wu Mian said something.
The other two people also nodded.
"Where is your companion?"
Iron Fist asked, implying that Shia might have died under the attack of those insects.
"She should be fine."
Lu Jian responded.
He felt that Shia's fighting power must be stronger than his own. He was lucky enough not to encounter a monster. Shia would probably be able to escape even if she encountered a bunch of bugs.
The only thing that may restrain her is not to use too much force and lift the entire underground passage.
Boom——
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of explosions and a puff of soot rising from the passage next to Lu Tiao. Then, Shia ran out.
She saw the person, but before she could see him clearly, she rolled over first and subconsciously raised her hand wearing steel gloves, and then she saw clearly that it was Lu Jian.
"Are you serious?"
Shia asked.
"Three handshakes."
Lu Tan replied casually, which made her feel relieved.
"I just encountered several bugs. I was worried that the magic would be too powerful and cause the place to collapse, so it took a little effort to get rid of them."
The armor on Shia's hands was covered with dirty insect mucus, but her face was spotless, giving her a perverse sense of beauty.
"Where is this?"
Shia asked.
"It's an altar."
Lu Tan pointed to the center.
"The real altar."
In the center of the circular room, a huge pool was filled with blood, and the blood came from the ceiling. There was a funnel-like thing there that was constantly seeping blood.
"Where did this blood come from?"
Wu Mian was slightly confused.
boom--
At this time, there was the sound of heavy objects hitting from those passages. They hurriedly looked back and found that the road had been blocked by stones.
"These roads are the roads that the sacrifices originally took. They will come here, be imprisoned, and finally become sacrifices to the gods."
Lu Jian told what he saw on the mural.
"God? What god?"
Shia asked.
"Just in the pool."
Lu Tiao pointed, and everyone saw that the pool full of blood made the sound of a machine turning. A small platform gradually rose from the blood pool. On the platform, there were several round objects.
