Chapter 238 Altar(1/2)
After sealing the jade bottle again, Chen Ziyan pretended to put the marrow powder and shadowless miasma into his backpack, but in fact he put them into his carry-on space.
Although the number of times it can be used is limited, the superiority of this thing is here, and it can definitely work wonders at critical moments.
Although some people complained about Chen Ziyan's actions, they did not speak out.
Chen Ziyan pretended not to see these unusual looks.
Just kidding, once this kind of good thing comes into his hands, there is no possibility of leaving it again.
Seeing that everything was done, Chen Ziyan said: "In case something unexpected happens later, we'd better leave here first."
Naturally, no one objected to his proposal, and no one wanted to experience what they had just experienced again.
Immediately, their group headed to the Hades Palace. After arriving at the Hades Palace, the place had returned to its original state of being empty.
So I didn't stop, followed the entrance from where I came in, and returned to the thief's cave where I came from.
But after walking for a while, Shen Rong, who was still responsible for clearing the way at the front, said: "Guys, there seems to be something wrong with the way we are walking!"
Hearing his words, Chen Ziyan, who was lagging behind, frowned slightly and asked, "Did you find something?"
Logically speaking, the robbery cave they took is no longer dangerous!
"There is a cave ahead!" Shen Rong replied.
"Cave?" Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi beside him: "Old Hu, go over and see what's going on."
"Okay." As soon as Hu Ba heard the words, he passed the people in front and came to the front of the team.
Sure enough, just as Shen Rong said, an empty cave appeared in front of them.
Calling it a cave is actually not accurate, it should be called a cave.
And this is not the one they passed by when they came here, it is a strange cave that they have never set foot in before.
When Hu Bayi went back and told what he saw, Chen Ziyan's frown deepened.
He is also a little confused now as to what is going on in front of him.
But now that we have come this far, there is no reason to go back, not to mention that going back may not lead to the right path.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan said: "Cheer up, let's go inside and have a look."
No matter what is inside, you have to read it to know the answer.
"Okay!" Shen Rong responded and walked into the cave with a few of his men.
The front section of the cave is relatively long and narrow, but after turning a corner, it suddenly becomes clear.
The exact scale is difficult to determine, but it is roughly estimated that it should be no less than the space where the previous temple was located.
However, there are no artificial traces here and there. The entire cave looks completely uncarved, with only the vague outline of a building deep in the cave.
Chen Ziyan also came to the front of the team at this time, holding up a flashlight to shine on the building deep in the cave, and found that it was a triangular artificial building, made entirely of wood, about the size of seven or eight residential houses.
When I got closer, I found that the building was surrounded by all kinds of shriveled corpses.
Although there were humans and animals among these corpses, they were still mostly animals. Their shriveled bodies were covered with a thin layer of spider silk cocoons, and the ferocious expressions of these corpses before death could still be vaguely seen.
"There won't be those black cocoons in this shabby place, right?" When Wang Kaixuan saw these corpse cocoons, he couldn't help but think of something clever.
The last thing he wants to see now is this thing with a black face and a swollen face. It is simply too enthusiastic for him, and it is hard for him to accept the enthusiasm.
"It depends on the situation, that's right." Chen Ziyan replied.
You don't even need to think about the scene in front of you to know that it is the work of a man with a dark face.
Looking at the painful and twisted expressions of the creatures in the spider cocoons, and the corpses that seemed to have been dehydrated, it was obvious that they had been sucked by black-faced cockroaches.
This is what the food remains of this creature look like.
"Master Chen, do you think we didn't accidentally bump into each other and end up in the black cockroach's lair?" Hu Bayi asked.
With so many shriveled corpses here, it was hard not to make him suspicious.
Chen Ziyan didn't know what to do. The situation in front of him was obviously beyond the scope of the plot he knew.
But judging from the situation, Hu Bayi's guess is probably close to ten.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of something. It seemed that the original plot had similar scenes.
Thinking of the situation in his memory, he said, "You'll know if you go over and take a look."
As he spoke, Chen Ziyan took the lead and walked forward. Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow.
When they approached the building, they discovered that it was actually an altar, and on the altar was a strange bronze statue.
Looking at the statue as a whole, the female characteristics can be clearly seen, but there are eight spider legs on the back, and the robe on the body is full of human face patterns.
When these factors are combined together, it immediately gives people an unspeakable and weird feeling.
The first time Ding Sitian saw the statue, she said: "We found the place we were looking for!"
Chen Ziyan looked at her puzzled and asked, "What's the reason?"
He doesn't believe in empirical evidence unless there is solid evidence in front of him.
Ding Sitian did not speak, but took out the Eyeless Dragon Talisman that she carried with her. She saw that this mysterious bronze dragon talisman was actually giving off a slight luster.
Chen Ziyan stared at the Eyeless Dragon Talisman for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and looked again at the strange statue on the altar in front of him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts showed that Ding Sitian's evidence was sufficient.
It goes without saying that this Eyeless Dragon Talisman is magical, and the strange reaction at this time is enough to explain the problem.
"Master Chen, let me take the liberty to say, do you want to stay here?" At this moment, Shen Rong suddenly asked.
In fact, Shen Rong had already noticed something was wrong after seeing the situation here. At this time, listening to Chen Ziyan and the others, they might be looking for this place, and he immediately wanted to leave.
He has been traveling around the world for so many years, relying on caution, and he would never touch a place like this.
The things here are indeed very valuable. Take the weird statue for example. If it had been found outside, it would have been a priceless treasure.
But this thing is also hot to handle. If you take it back, you may drop it in your hand, turning it into a ticking time bomb that makes people worry all day long.
Anyway, Shen Rong would never touch things like bronzes, and even if he saw them, he would pretend he didn't see them.
Chen Ziyan didn't understand why Shen Rong asked this at first, but after taking a look at him, he immediately understood what this guy meant.
I don't want to get involved anymore.
I have to say, it’s a wise choice!
The secrets hidden here are too deep. For people with the price of Shen Rong, it is better to know less.
In this regard, Chen Ziyan had no intention of forcing the other party, and simply said: "If Boss Shen is not interested, you can try to go back the same way and walk the same way again, and you should be able to leave here."
In fact, that's fine. Without these irrelevant people, they can do better.
When Shen Rong heard Chen Ziyan's words, he glanced at him in surprise, and then immediately said: "Then we brothers will not hinder these masters from doing their work. We Qingshan will not change, and we will see you later!"
After saying this, Shen Rong slowly backed away with his men, planning to leave this place.
He planned to try Chen Ziyan's method. Even if it didn't work, it would be better than continuing to stay here.
Chen Ziyan didn't say anything more, just made a "please" gesture.
After Shen Rong and others disappeared from sight, Wang Kaixuan immediately asked: "Master Chen, why did you let them go like this?"
This made him confused.
Even if you plan to let the other person go, this time is not appropriate.
To put it more cruelly, it would not be better for these people to explore the road, at least they can be safer.
"That's not necessary." Chen Ziyan shook his head and said nothing more.
Wang Kaixuan is still unclear about the importance of the matter, but Chen Ziyan is very clear that this can be said to be the last time for Shen Rong and others to leave.
If they continue to follow this path, even if they don't die in the next crisis, they will still face trouble that they can't get rid of in the future.
Although Chen Ziyan also knew that it would be more convenient to have cannon fodder to explore the road, he would not do such a thing intentionally.
Hu Bayi said at this time: "Okay, don't worry about this, what should we do next?"
He felt that the matter was over, and there was no point in holding on to it any longer. It was better to focus on the present while he had this time.
If this is really the place that Chen Ziyan and Ding Sitian are looking for, there must be another mystery hidden there.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the altar in front of him and said, "There is no good way. We can only search here first to see if we can find anything."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to remind: "By the way, be careful, there might be someone with a dark face hiding here."
He was mainly talking to Wang Kaixuan. With this fat man's unique physique, if there was someone with a dark face hiding on his side, he would most likely be the first to attack him.
Wang Kaixuan himself obviously understood this, and quickly looked around vigilantly, wanting to deal with all possible threats first.

But at this moment, a series of mechanical friction sounds sounded, and the altar in front of them actually revealed a downward passage.
Several people looked at me, and I looked at you, but they found that everyone was still some distance away from the altar, and it didn't look like they had triggered the mechanism.
Chen Ziyan glanced around, then projected his flashlight into the passage.
