What is going on with that altar
Xu Xin felt like his head was about to explode.
The thought just now kept lingering in his mind.
Although his idea was bizarre, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Although, there are some obvious loopholes in his reasoning.
For example, the altar that is now right above his head, which Qin Fu said has been destroyed, has been related to the blood-marked mutant creatures from the very beginning.
The first time he came into contact with the altar, he was offering a sacrifice to it, causing the stone statue to shatter and then blood-marked creatures to jump out.
But here, this crystal palace obviously does not belong to the same force as the Blood Mark Clan.
Somewhat like... the power of that giant
Moreover, the altar is not only on his side.
There is also one on Ji Chaoyang's side.
It can't be that Ji Chaoyang also...
Um…
"What's wrong with you?" Shi Wanyun had been paying attention to Xu Xin. Seeing that he looked a little strange, she immediately asked, "Did you find something?"
"… I just speculated on the current situation." Xu Xin said with a flicker in his eyes.
"So, how did this guy get here?" Zeng Tao pointed at Qin Fu, who was still unconscious and sitting on the ground leaning against the giant door. "We followed you up here. Could it be that he has the same sense of déjà vu as you do?"
… shouldn’t be possible.
However, if you want to know this, just ask him directly.
Xu Xin took out a pill and stuffed it directly into Qin Fu's mouth.
However, Qin Fu's condition did not improve, and he was still in a coma and had not woken up.
"... Ah, this guy, isn't he in a weak state?" Lou Fei'er suddenly realized, "Isn't his weak state like this, listless and depressed?"
really.
Xu Xin also thought of this possibility when Qin Fu didn't wake up.
Compared to the obvious physical weakness of the other people, Qin Fu's weak state was indeed not visible on the surface.
"...Did he get here by using his explosive state and highly concentrated mental power to avoid those traps?" Jin Yue speculated.
"Ah? No way..." Zeng Tao disagreed. "If it were me, I wouldn't enter the burst state here. What would I do if I were weak after the state ended? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
"What if you are forced into an explosive state?" Lou Fei'er asked, "Xiao Taozi, you haven't been forced into an explosive state, right?"
When on the verge of death, people with mutated blood will automatically recover from all injuries and enter a state of explosiveness.
Of course, this depends on the severity of the injury. After all, fatal injuries also come in different sizes.
If the fatal injury is just a cut in the throat or a pierced head, and the scope of the injury is small, then after the injury recovers, the remaining strength is enough to support the body's movement and it will enter an explosive state.
But if it was like Ma Hongwei before, whose whole body was crushed by the giant boa constrictor and whose strength was exhausted from recovering from the injuries, he would fall into a deep sleep directly.
"It's possible that he entered the explosive mode in the lower layer, and then relied on the powerful mental power of the explosive mode to avoid the trap and enter here." Jin Yue speculated.
"Ah? If it were me, after seeing such a horrible trap, I would not continue to move forward. I would return the same way I came." Zeng Tao continued to complain.
"And die here underground?" Lou Feier said unhappily, "If we go up, we might at least find a way back to the surface."
Shi Wanyun stood behind them. She didn't quite understand what they were saying, so she didn't interrupt.
However, she still understands the current situation.
She had just been in the same room with Jin Yue and Zeng Tao, undressing and applying insect repellent, and had seen the bloodstains on their bodies.
Moreover, when she met these people, she could already feel the mutated blood in them.
So, she was not confused, but just stood behind and listened quietly.
Xu Xin stroked his chin and looked at Qin Fu who was sitting in front of the door.
He had another guess.
Before that, he had spoken to Qin Fu on his way down.
In his intermittent and vague words at that time, he seemed to have mentioned the word "palace".
In other words, he was probably already in this palace at that time.
According to Shi Wanyun, Zeng Tao and Jin Yue, the palace at that time had not yet revealed its original appearance. From the outside, it looked like a palace made of stone.
And if the palace does not reveal its true appearance, perhaps... there will not be such a powerful trap
After that, he and Lou Feier quickly pushed open the door and activated the entire area.
Perhaps, it was at that time that Qin Fu, who was about to reach the top floor, was attacked by the activated palace.
If that's the case...
Perhaps Qin Fu is partly responsible for what he has become...
Never mind. Anyway, he can’t wake up now, so it’s useless for the time being.
Xu Xin turned the bracelet and put the unconscious Qin Fu directly into the bracelet, then stood up and looked up at the door.
At this time, Shi Wanyun spoke up: "I just observed this door. There is a large keyhole in the middle of the door. You need a key to open it."
"Key?" Zeng Tao also walked around to the front and looked up. "There really is a keyhole! Hey, hey, do you think the key is somewhere on the two floors below?"
She pointed to the passage leading downstairs: "Should we go down and look for the key?"
"There's no point in opening this door, right?" Lou Fei'er poured cold water on her. "It's just a door, right? There's nothing in front or behind. Why bother opening it?"
"Hmm... No way?" Zeng Tao was also a little unsure, "Maybe after opening it, it will be... a portal?"
"It's possible." Xu Xin nodded.
"Right!" Zeng Tao immediately became excited after getting Xu Xin's approval, "Let's go down and look for the key. The key must be down there!"
"Do you really think this is a game of exploring the castle..." Lou Feier was speechless.
"No need to go down." Xu Xin reached out and took out the ancient bronze knife from his backpack.
He always kept this ancient bronze knife in his backpack.
Bronze Ancient Sword (Gold): A mysterious ancient sword. After being eroded by time, the blade of this sword has become very fragile and easily damaged. It is best not to use it for attacking.
A short knife that can unlock the secrets of the world is the key to open a certain door.
A short sword that unlocks the secrets of the world, a key that opens a certain door.
Everything is in line with the current situation.
That’s right, what we need now is this ancient sword!
Behind this door...
The secret of the world
"This is..." Behind him, Shi Wanyun's eyes flashed and her fingers trembled slightly.
"This should be the key here."
Xu Xin looked up at the keyhole.
The door is five meters high, and the keyhole is located about five meters away, in the center of the entire door.
Except for the keyhole, the entire door is made of crystal, which is extremely hard and heavy, yet very smooth.
Even if an ordinary person could find the key, he would be basically helpless in opening the door.
However, this does not pose a problem for Xu Xin now.
His jumping ability has been enhanced now.
"Ah? There's a key?!" Zeng Tao was originally looking down, but turned back abruptly when she heard that. "Where is that?"
"Ah, this... a bronze knife?" Lou Fei'er was a little confused, "Why does it look so much like a cultural relic?"
Jin Yue and Shi Wanyun also came over to observe the ancient bronze knife in Xu Xin's hand.
When Qin Fu gave the key to Xu Xin, only Li Wenxi was present, so only Xu Xin and Li Wenxi knew about the existence of the key, and no one else present knew about it.
"This is a gold-grade sword." Xu Xin raised the sword, then, in front of the shocked gazes of the women around him, he stepped on the ground and jumped four or five meters.
There was no handle on the door, nothing for him to grab, so he controlled the strength of his jump so that the highest point of the jump was level with the keyhole. When he paused at the highest point, he directly inserted the ancient bronze knife in his hand into the keyhole!
Very smooth.
The size of the keyhole was exactly the same as the ancient bronze knife. With his precise technique, the ancient bronze knife was inserted into the keyhole with a "clang".
Xu Xin did not continue to hold the ancient bronze knife, but let go and it fell to the ground.
He didn't dare to continue holding the ancient sword. After all, the introduction of the ancient sword clearly stated that the blade was fragile and easily damaged.
It would be bad if he broke it.
"It's really inserted!" Zeng Tao exclaimed, "Is it really a key? Where did you get this key from?"
"You didn't get it here." Shi Wanyun's gaze shifted from the door to Xu Xin, "Did you bring it in from outside?"
Xu Xin had been in her sight since he came in, but she didn't see where he got the ancient bronze knife from.
"Yes, it was brought back by Qin Fu. The blood-marked troll came for this thing." Xu Xin stared at the giant door and explained.
"Ah?" Lou Feier and Zeng Tao both cried out in surprise, and Jin Yue also opened her eyes wide.
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
After the ancient bronze knife was inserted, Ju Men did not react at all.
At the keyhole, only the knife handle lying there appeared rusty under the bright white luster.
Could it be that I need to twist it like a key
He immediately jumped on the spot, moved to a position level with the keyhole, grabbed the handle of the ancient bronze knife, and twisted it clockwise.
The ancient knife in his hand turned easily, and along with it, the recessed metal keyhole of the entire prototype also turned.
"It's twisting!" Zeng Tao cheered below!
“Pah.”
Xu Xin landed, and then a strange feeling rose from his heart.
There's something weird about this door!
"Back off, everyone back off!" Xu Xin said as he jumped back immediately.
Upon hearing this, the women did not dare to be careless and took several steps back with him.
As they moved, the door emitted brighter and brighter white light!
From the originally soft light, it gradually became dazzling!
It even made it difficult for some people to open their eyes!
"This light definitely means there is treasure!" Zeng Tao blocked the light with her hands, squinted her eyes and looked at the door through the gaps between her fingers, saying excitedly.
The others made the same move. Although the light was blinding, no one wanted to miss the moment of the door opening.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the door opened a crack.
Purple-black light leaked out from the gap!
They are very familiar with this color!
"Portal! The color of a portal! I knew it was a portal!" Zeng Tao's voice became even more excited.
"Could this be the portal back to the ground?" Lou Feier was also a little surprised.
Jin Yue didn't say anything, but just took two steps closer to Xu Xin so that she could take action if any danger occurred.
Shi Wanyun was full of doubts.
Where on earth is this place
But she knew that the way back was not here, but the passage that Xu Xin and the others came from.
So what's going on here
Why didn’t those guys tell her about the situation on the third floor
Could it be that they don’t know either
And Xu Xin was extremely moved.
He even began to breathe faster!
He felt that there seemed to be something in the door waving at him, attracting him, calling him, asking him to enter quickly!
"Boom..."
The sound continued.
The gap between the left and right doors was slowly opening, the purple-black light became more and more conspicuous, and the bright white light emitted by the door was also slowly weakening.
The door does not open outwards, but inwards.
The door that opened inward seemed to be immersed in water, immersed in the purple-black light, and then disappeared with the bronze dagger on the keyhole.
At the same time, the purple-black light suddenly became stronger and instantly filled the original door position, and even spread outward by dozens of centimeters!
Then the rumbling sound stopped.
In front of them, a huge door that looked rather strange appeared!
The door frame was made of the original crystal material, emitting a soft, white light, but inside the door was a purple-black starlight!
This time, there was no rotating purple-black vortex, nor was there any purple-black energy that looked very dense. There was only a purple-black sky that was as deep as the universe and seemed to suck people in... a starry sky
There are also dozens of stars emitting bright white light, which really makes people feel as if they are facing the universe.
"This... is so beautiful!" Lou Fei'er was immediately attracted, "Is this a portal? Why is it different from the previous ones?"
"Wow... I'm a little afraid to go in..." Zeng Tao leaned closer to Xu Xin, "I always feel like if I step in, I'll lose myself in the boundless universe..."
Xu Xin subconsciously took a step forward.
He couldn't help but want to get in.
At this moment, two hands grabbed him and stopped his movements.
It was Jin Yue and Shi Wanyun behind him.
"What do you want to do?" Shi Wanyu frowned and asked, "Just walk in?"
"It's too dangerous." Jin Yue only said three words, but she also expressed her attitude.
"We must go in!" Zeng Tao had a different opinion from the other two. "Are we supposed to just go home and do nothing after opening the door?"
"This door may allow us to return to the ground." Lou Feier also agreed to go in.
"There are other ways to get back to the ground!" Shi Wanyun no longer concealed it, "This is definitely not the way to get back to the ground!"
"... How do you know... Hey!" Lou Feier looked at Shi Wanyun suspiciously. Just as she was about to ask, Xu Xin suddenly took a big step and walked into the door without hesitation.
Even the two people behind him didn't catch him.
Then, the purple-black color, as if it were the abyss of the universe, suddenly expanded in all directions!
"ah!"
"Varied… "
The women didn't even have time to scream before they were swallowed up by the purple-black color.
The purple-black space instantly filled the entire third floor!
And at this moment, several people disappeared.
…
At this moment, Xu Xin seemed to be floating in a silent universe.
There was no sound around, just dead silence.
He could hear his heartbeat, his breathing, and even the sound of his internal organs moving.
However, he was not panicked. Instead, he slowly looked around and his breathing gradually calmed down.
He whispered, "I'm coming."
“… You are finally here…”
At this moment, a slightly vague voice sounded in the entire space.
The sound seemed to come from all directions and there was no way to find the direction.
But this voice was so familiar to him.
This was a sound he heard every day.
“… my future self.”
This is his own voice.
