"This is..." Despite the psychological preparation, the faces of several people were still full of disappointment.

Influenced by these people, others also looked up at the starry sky, and soon discovered the fact that two moons were hanging in the sky.

"How could this happen?" Many people couldn't help shouting, the last hope of going home was shattered, and they would never be able to see their relatives. Many female students burst into tears. Far away from the earth, unable to return.

"Mars... has two satellites, which are equivalent to the moon seen on the earth..." Cade talked to himself in unfluent Chinese, and then quickly said a lot in English, talking with Li Xiaoman.

For decades, several space probes have beamed back to Earth valuable information about Mars. The two satellites orbiting Mars are extremely small celestial bodies, coupled with factors such as height from the ground, if viewed from Mars, Phobos appears to be about half the size of the moon when viewed from the earth. Deimos, smaller but brighter than the other stars, is a miniature moon.

After people who knew something about Mars said all this, everyone was deeply disappointed. It seems that there is no way back home now, and the first task now is to find a way to survive.

It was already 600 meters away from the five-color altar, and it was much closer to the faint light source. It seemed that it was only 500 meters away. Everyone stopped delaying and continued to move forward.

Under the night sky, the breeze is blowing, bringing a little bit of coolness.

After traveling more than a hundred meters, the distance from the light source is getting closer and closer. At this time, someone screamed and found a collapsed building. This seemed to be an ancient pavilion that had collapsed under the erosion of time.

"Man-made pavilions, there should be human beings on this desolate planet, and we can definitely find a way to survive."

"Is this really Mars? Why are there human buildings? The air, temperature, gravity, etc. are not much different from those on Earth, just like a desert on Earth."

Although it was endless disappointment, everyone did not despair, they had a lot of doubts.

"We've even seen dragon corpses, so what's the matter? Maybe this is a special area on Mars."

"Perhaps. There is a grand five-color altar here, which can receive the nine dragon corpses and copper coffins. It is not impossible to call this place the place where the gods are sealed."

"If our guess is true and this is only a special area on Mars, then our living space may not be very large."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while.

"If this is just a small piece of pure land on Mars, then what is the way out for us?!"

Everyone's mood was ups and downs, which related to their life, death and future, and no one could calm down.

"Ah..." A female classmate suddenly screamed, which was transmitted very far under the night sky.

"What's wrong?" Everyone changed their colors and asked hurriedly.

"Skull, a human skull!" The female classmate turned pale, her body trembling constantly, and she backed away tremblingly.

Not far from the collapsed pavilion, half a snow-white skull was exposed in the gravel, which was stepped on by that female classmate just now. No wonder she was so frightened.

All the male students gathered around, and Pangbo kicked the skull out of the sand with his feet. Obviously, it was the skull of an adult. Lots of rough cracks.

What is surprising is that there is a very regular round hole on its frontal bone, which can be as thick as a finger, as if pierced by a sharp weapon, and the surrounding of the hole is very smooth.

"It seems that this place is full of unknowns and variables. Although these are dry bones left over from many years ago, we'd better be careful."

Unfamiliar environment and various uncertain factors make people feel chills.

"What are those up front?"

Under the hazy night sky, the stars and the moon are not so bright, only the undulating shadows in front can be vaguely seen, like piles of rocks connected together, uneven and criss-crossed.

When they got close, everyone was stunned. It turned out to be a piece of ruins, and what was blocking the front was only a small part, and the even larger ruins penetrated horizontally into the distance.

The broken walls and rubble all over the place seem to be telling an unknown past. Under the moonlit night, this place looks extraordinarily lonely. In the past, this place should have been a stretch of magnificent palaces, but now it is a desolate scene.

This is a huge ruin, covering a wide area, and the solid foundation is all made of huge stones. One can imagine the majesty and vastness of this palace back then.

And the light source was at the end of the ruins, behind a broken wall.

"Are we... are we really on Mars? There used to be a magnificent group of palaces here?"

"How much manpower is needed to complete such a huge project?"

"What caused this place to become a ruin, and all the tall and magnificent buildings collapsed?"

Everyone almost forgot their fear. The huge ruins in front of them amazed everyone. If it is really on Mars at this moment, this is really incredible.

Ye Fan said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. We have experienced a lot today, and things that should not have happened according to common sense. would be surprised."

Pang Bo sighed: "Tiangong ruins... This is really possible, after all, we have even seen the dragon corpse."

Hearing these words, everyone couldn't help being startled, Tiangong ruins, maybe this is not a fallacy!

The light source is right in front, gently rippling out from behind the broken wall, causing a faint halo to appear there, indescribably hazy and holy.

"What the hell is that?"

The light source circulates at the end of the ancient ruins, making the broken walls look more desolate and desolate, which naturally makes people feel extremely mysterious.

"Chachacha..."

There was a burst of noise when everyone stepped on the rubble, which spread far under the empty night sky, passing by the collapsed palaces, and finally passed through this huge ruin. Just ahead, although part of the broken wall was damaged, it was still four or five meters high. I really don't know how majestic it was back then.

"Let's see what the light source is!"

A group of people carefully walked around the huge broken wall and came to the end of the ruins. Suddenly, they felt a breath of comfort that made the whole body rush towards them. It seemed that a ray of light crossed the void and caught everyone's eyes. .

Everyone has completely walked out of the ruins, appeared behind the broken wall, and really saw the light source in front of them clearly.

Fifty meters ahead, an ancient temple quietly sits there, with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, and a little light like beans.

In front of the ancient temple, an ancient bodhi tree is as vigorous as a horned dragon, and the whole body is dry, with only five or six green leaves sporadically dotted two meters above the ground.
