After helping Su Yanran heal her injuries and improve her physical condition, Qin Hao and his wife did not stay here too long. The carvings on the cliff clearly stated that there is no end to this place. It is both a way of life and a dead end. If you don't look back, you can only go up the cliff. Wall, climb to the sky, follow the footsteps of the ancestors to the other end of the starry sky.
Of course, Qin Hao would not make the same choice as Su Yanran's adoptive father. He still had many worries and worries and could not give up everything and embark on a future that might be a road of no return.
However, the good thing is that the carvings left a revelation for them. There is an ancient altar somewhere in the city of the Boneyard, and there may be clues to the outside world.
Qin Hao and Su Yanran decided to return the same way and set foot on the ancient road pioneered by their ancestors again. They no longer had any worries or uneasiness in their hearts. Instead, they were as calm and relaxed as if they were traveling together. They regarded this place as a tourist attraction. View and discuss, marveling at the uncanny workmanship of the ancient roads and appreciating the great creations of our ancestors.
However, the only regret is that they still cannot understand the meaning of the pre-Qin characters, and in the end they have to forcefully memorize all those characters in their minds and wait to do research after they go out.
Jumping from the crack in the void, the two returned to the Bone Burial Ground again. At this moment, the Bone Burial Ground had undergone tremendous changes.
The endless grievances and corpse qi of Nuoda's boundless city of the dead were actually suppressed, and were no longer as strong and permeating as before. The corpses of the strong men who originally pursued them also disappeared, and even several people along the way. When the corpses wandering aimlessly saw Qin Hao and the others, their first reaction was not to kill them. Instead, they became extremely panicked and anxious. They burrowed underground as if to avoid something.
Looking up, I saw a huge beam of light rising into the sky and straight into the sky in the distance. It was exactly the same as the energy beam that burst out from the astrolabe before. Even the energy aura came out of the original source.
The most critical point is that that direction is exactly the direction where the ancient altar was located according to the previous inscription on the cliff.
"Could it be that the astrolabe is also in this burial ground? It brought us in, and it also came in?" Although Su Yanran is not a practitioner, after the transformation of the magical medicine, her sense of energy is not like ordinary people. People are so insensitive.
Qin Hao shook his head: "I don't know either. The origin of the astrolabe is too mysterious. I definitely don't know anything that you don't know. Let's go and take a look first."
The two of them quickly ran towards the direction of the light pillar. When they were about to reach the vicinity, they both stopped and did not choose to rush in. Instead, they lurked in order to avoid any accidents.
Sure enough, not long after walking, they heard the sound of fighting one after another in front of them. When they went over, they saw the leader of the Iron Man fighting with a large group of at least hundreds of corpses. He fought and retreated. Cao Hong and Xu Fanghua were there. Behind him, and behind them, was a magnificent altar, covering an area as large as four or five football fields, and the soaring light beam shot out from the center of the altar.
Obviously, Xu Fanghua and the others didn't know how they knew that the altar might be related to leaving here, so they were trying to get closer there. However, there were five or six people in their group before, but now there are only three left. Obviously those Iron Men Subordinates had already lost their lives in the previous diversion of trouble to the east.
Qin Hao was too lazy to care about the other party's life and death. What he was thinking about now was how to get to the altar.
He only wanted to trick people and eventually tricked himself. He originally planned to let Xu Fanghua and others attract the firepower of the corpses and reduce his pressure, but he did not want the other party to lead these corpses around the altar. If Qin Hao wanted to enter the altar, he would When unable to fly, the only option is to forcefully break through and kill them.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao knelt down and motioned for Su Yanran to lie on his back. Although the woman's physique had been transformed, it was not worth mentioning when facing the corpses of these strong men. Only he and Su Yanran could kill them together. OK.
However, Qin Hao didn't intend to get entangled with these corpses. After all, even if the other party had been dead for an unknown number of years, most of the energy, blood, and energy in his body had been exhausted. However, Qin Hao was still between him and him in terms of combat effectiveness. Hao is still stronger, but there is nothing he can do about the opponent's large number. It may be feasible to force a breakthrough, but Lian will definitely die in a battle.
Xu Fanghua and others did not expect to meet Qin Hao here, but they did not find it strange. After all, this beam of light was too obvious. As long as Qin Hao was not dead, he would definitely come to check.
However, with Qin Hao joining the battlefield, the pressure on the leader of Iron Man was reduced a lot. After a quick charge, he finally rushed through the distance of a hundred steps, and everyone rushed into the altar.
Those corpses seemed to be very afraid of the altar and did not dare to step forward. Some of them were either bold or too much chasing after them. When they stepped inside the altar, a curtain of light suddenly fell, and their flesh and bodies were shattered into pieces as if they were illuminated by divine light. It turned into a pool of pus and blood and was sucked into the center of the altar.
This scene made all the corpses afraid to move forward, but they did not just give up and leave. Instead, they surrounded the entire altar and did not allow anyone to escape.
Seeing the corpse and not daring to make any mistakes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were able to take stock of the altar in front of them.
The entire altar is made of colorful jade and dark-black stones that are almost exactly the same as the previous cliff. Under the reflection of the sky-high light pillar, there is a faint stream of light, and some brilliant sacred rays are released. Those few moments just now The corpse of the impulsive strong man was destroyed by this glow.
The area around the altar is very empty, presumably a space left for people to worship. In the center, there is a high platform made entirely of jade. On the high platform, there are several huge square statues with four legs and two ears. The cauldron, that cauldron was so huge that it could hold dozens of people. It was obviously used to hold sacrifices.
This is what they saw with their own eyes. Just now, the corpses were sucked into the Fang Ding after they turned into pus and blood.
In the center of these giant tripods, a simple and ancient stone slab with strange patterns carved on it is emitting a terrifying and huge energy beam. What else can it be but an astrolabe
However, the surface of the astrolabe was actually cracked at this moment. An oval-shaped egg-like stone that was as tall as a person stood in the middle, as if growing out of the astrolabe. The pillar of light soaring into the sky was exactly this stone egg. released.
"The astrolabe is far harder than imagined, otherwise it would not be able to contain such a huge amount of energy. But what is the origin of this stone egg that actually drilled through the surface of the astrolabe?"
Everyone was extremely surprised, but Qin Hao was relatively calm. After all, he had seen this stone egg in the inner space of the astrolabe. At that time, he felt a huge life essence from this stone egg, like a living thing. Now that it has broken through the shell and appears, it seems to be normal.
But, is there something else pregnant in this stone egg? I don’t know when it will come out again.
"Miss Su, you have done a lot of research on astrolabes and are knowledgeable. Do you know what the connection is between this altar and the astrolabe? Are there any clues in this altar that can help us leave?" Xu Fanghua took the initiative to step forward and speak. ask.
She was forced to have no choice. Before, their side had the numerical advantage. At that time, Su Yanran was seriously injured and was completely a burden, so she dared to act aggressively against her. But now, apart from her and Cao Hong, who have no ability to protect themselves, there is only the Iron Man leader who has been fighting for a long time to rely on. Want to deal with Qin Hao? It would be nice not to be killed by Qin Hao!
However, she didn't want to think about how aggressive she was at that time, regarding Qin Hao as her enemy, and she secretly tried to kill him many times, and even implicated the people around Qin Hao. Now that she wants to cooperate, how could Qin Hao agree
"Xu Fanghua! I wanted to do a good reckoning with you before. I didn't want the astrolabe to go crazy and get lost here. I never found the opportunity. Now that you and I meet again, it's time for us to do a good reckoning. !!! Not only do I want you to pay for your previous abominable actions, but I also want to avenge those innocent soldiers who died tragically at your hands!" Qin Hao stepped forward and shouted sternly, and directed Xu Fanghua with ferocious and violent murderous intent. , eyes full of cold light.
Xu Fanghua was shocked and secretly thought something was wrong. This was the situation she least wanted to see now. Now she and Qin Hao were both trapped in the altar. If they went out, they would be killed by those corpses. If they didn't go out, Qin Hao would also be killed. To kill her, although the leader of Iron Man has protected her until now, there is a question mark whether the other party is willing to help. Even if he is willing to help, he has been fighting these corpses for a long time and is not in peak condition. Being able to stop Qin Hao is also a problem.
The woman took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Qin Hao! The hatred between you and me is destined to be irresolvable, but now you and I are trapped in this strange environment and don't know when and how to leave. There are dangers hidden everywhere. , even if it is safe here for the time being, we don’t know when danger will arise again. At this time, if everyone does not cooperate fully, they will kill each other and waste their own strength. If danger comes, won’t it be too late to regret? As long as we I can leave here, and if you want to kill me later, I will have no complaints!"
"Hmph! How ridiculous!" Qin Hao snorted coldly, "Xu Fanghua, what do you think you can be used for? I tell you the truth, not only you are going to die, but Cao Hong and this guy are also going to die. You have your hands covered. The blood of my fellow Chinese warriors. Based on this alone, it is impossible for me to cooperate with you! What's more, the only one with fighting ability is him, but he brings you two burdens. It is enough for me to protect Su Yanran by myself, not at all. Need you!"
Xu Fanghua did not expect this. It is true that Qin Hao does not need their help, and cooperation may be an increased burden for him. However, she must make Qin Hao agree to cooperate, otherwise, she will never survive. She has a hunch.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fanghua suddenly smiled unexpectedly. When everyone was wondering if she was scared crazy, she slowly said: "Qin Hao, I have conditions for cooperation. Why are you so impulsive? Listen to me. Conditions, maybe you won’t refuse? I will tell you a secret, a secret about the pain, tangle and guilt that you have been pursuing for many years but still have nothing to show for it! For example, when I was Captain Zero at the time, You..." (To be continued)
