Chapter 284 Prisoner of the Abyss

call--

The sound of air flowing from somewhere was heard, not only like the rapid wind blowing from the hole, but also a bit like the sound of some large bird flapping its wings. In the huge cave, the sound of wind was endless, but only an empty darkness responded to them.

Around this square, a large number of rough buildings are randomly stacked together, and simple building materials assemble the rooms layer by layer. On one side of the square that looks like an incline, these small houses similar to insect nests are densely arranged.

Curt peeked into the huts through the gap beside him, and could only see some of the most humble daily necessities scattered around indiscriminately. The dirty ground seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time. If you look at these messy rooms, you can think of what the person in the hut is.

Curt looked around the left and right sides, but his eyes were blocked by these houses built with simple materials. He could only see a slum-like shack. Near the road surrounded by shacks, there was a ditch made of artificially made, and some dark red pieces flowed down with sewage.

The two also tried to move along the narrow ramp, but the intricate alleys seemed like a maze, and just getting involved in it would make people lose their way. Curt tried to find a way back to the "factory", but no matter which way he chose, he would eventually fall into chaos.

“We don’t seem to be welcome here.”

Liqi sneered, then pointed in one direction and said, "Although I don't know where the black shadow went just now, there is only one place nearby that smells of living creatures. Obviously, the surrounding buildings are all obstacles built to prevent people from going there."

Obviously, this slum-like area is not as chaotic as it looks. When it was initially constructed, the designer had already considered using terrain to trap uninvited guests like Curt and others - even if he wanted to return now, he would only be able to go back around the square if he was looking for other ways.

"If you can't find the way...will you just drive a road by yourself?"

Curt sneered. Then he poured magic power on his leg, and kicked it up on the wall with several cracks next to it. The disrepaired wall was already fragile, and the wall that looked thick on the outside was kicked over by Curt, revealing the building blocked behind it.

It was a larger house, almost several times the size of the surrounding cottages - but it is now just a crumbling ruin. The abandoned house looked a little thoughtful when it was built, and the carefully polished stones still tell the past glory of the ruins.

Curt walked into the house from the cave he had opened, while curiously observing the surroundings. The shape of plant debris and dirty rags covered the sandy ground. It seemed that no one had visited here for a long time, and even the shelves beside them were covered with dust.

There are obstacles accumulated by rubble and sand everywhere. In the gap between these broken objects, the broken wood barely forms some holes connected together. The waste of the building maintains a delicate balance, just like a little disruption of the sort of things, and the two will be buried alive here.

The narrow tunnel winds forward like a long snake, and the rugged roads must be careful every step. After moving through these tunnels for a long time, Curt discovered that the road ahead had been blocked, and the undecorated ground was exposed in front of him, showing striped patterns.

Thankfully, the road was not completely closed - at least not yet. Walking forward along the dangerous holes. A road leading to the outside appeared in front of Curt. Although most of it has been buried in sand and soil, there is still room for a person to bend over and pass.

Staring at the surrounding environment, Liqi whispered: "This complex is definitely not something built by the Eye of True View... They are so old. They may be even longer than we found this 'far land'. These buildings have been built."

Curt said nothing, but shrugged and moved down the stair-like slope. The ceilings of these caves were so low that he could not even move forward without leaning down. In contrast, the thin Liqi walked in these caves so easily. Just a slight archer was enough to pass through most of the gaps, and she followed Curt and observed the surroundings at the same time.

The ramp in the cave became steeper and steeper in the middle, and eventually became a steep slope that ordinary people could not move forward. Curt and Liqi barely descended from the slope built by the waste pile, and a larger hole appeared in front of the two of them - this place seemed to be connected to the darkest abyss.

The ground in front slowly undulates like a sand dune. On this flat area, there seems to be a circle of wonderful building ruins left in the distance. They are like the remains of living creatures living in the ancient sea, and the unclear barriers leave ambiguous traces in the darkness.

Walking along the flat ground, the surrounding cliffs surrounded the surroundings heavily. The sound of roaring water could be heard in the dark far away, but no matter how you look at it, you could not see the hidden river... It seemed that it was a groundwater vein that was far away and could not be captured with your eyesight.

A narrow mountain path extends towards the high platform in the distance, and the "road" built on the slope side is adjacent to the bottomless darkness, as if you accidentally fall into the abyss.

The two walked up the slope and finally arrived at a wide space. Several columns supported the sloping eaves, and most of the surrounding walls were left with ruins. Some broken stone pillars fell nearby, and the fine reliefs of the past could be seen on it.

The water flows from the groundwater veins flows through the abyss in the distance, and the stormy waves hit the coast, making waves of fierce roars. Several rectangular rocks with geometric patterns overlap and are piled up in obliquely upward slopes, and are written as stairs for climbers to stand on.

After walking for a while, the two finally climbed the steps and walked to a high platform. The rifted statues were no longer visible, and the disrepaired floor was full of cracks and hollows. However, the decoration here still shows that this place was once a place of sacrificial place.

A stone statue with a missing head fell in the corner of the entrance. It was a foreign god that Curt had never seen before. Several arms grew on his body wearing strange armor, and a pair of alien wings, which were not known as reptiles or insects, grew on his broad back.

"Is there a ruin of the indigenous people here?" Curt looked around in confusion. He did not remember that similar architectural styles had appeared in the Dominion, "But I remember that the indigenous people of Osatalia did not have the technology to build such large-scale masonry buildings."

Layers of brick walls were piled around a giant water tray, as if they were really protecting something, but now the wall was covered with gaps and could not play any role. Continue to walk deeper, and on the high platform not far away, several towering towers showed a look of the surroundings.

Around it is a space made of cube stone, and the carefully carved decorative patterns clearly show the worship of the people who built the sacrificial place. Curt sniffed, and the air around him was mixed with slight water vapor and a slight odor that was difficult to distinguish.

In the clearings not far away, there were several thick stone pillars closely arranged, which broke through the ceiling in the center of the sacrificial place and pointed directly at the zenith. Through the dark space, Curt found that there seemed to be something darker in color hanging at the top of these pillars.

It seemed to be a corpse.

Although he could not see clearly, he could vaguely distinguish from the outline... These "things" hanging on the top of the stone pillars were all humans without exception. Or it can be said that most of them were humans once, but now they have become cold corpses.

As if they were showing public, several tortured bodies were hung on several stone pillars in the center of the square. If this was the surface of the earth, there would probably be a flock of birds flying down to peck at the flesh and blood of these people. However, in this place deep underground, there were countless insects accompanying them.

The dark stone pillars are connected with strong chains, which pass through the bodies of these "prisoners" and firmly secure them to the top of the stone pillars. Although the bodies are almost broken in the previous "treatment", these tortured people still cannot get peace.

Tick, Tick-

On the towering stone pillars, there were more than a dozen wonderful red runes appearing and disappearing from time to time, emitting a strange light. After absorbing the dirty blood left by the victims, they all became more distinct, and the drooping blood left a thin layer of crystals on their surface.

The blood crystals are growing little by little, and the blood-red light pouring out from the stone pillars under my body paints the blackened corpse with a layer of dazzling color. The broken corpse and the falling blood... The miserable scene is like a drawing of hell, and these victims are living sacrifices dedicated to the demons.

In the haze, Curt seemed to hear a wonderful chant sound from the distant end. He looked up at the other side, and some scene seemed to appear and disappear in the deep darkness. He couldn't see what kind of projection it was, because it only had a moment of influence and melted into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Could it be an illusion...

Curt rubbed his eyes and looked at the victims locked on the stone pillar again. In the darkness, only the runes on their chests seemed particularly eye-catching.

"These people... are all spells of the Eye of True Vision? I still remember the 'eye' pattern on their clothes." Frowning, he whispered to Liqi, "Who tied them here and seemed to have cooked them with the same technique."

And all this happened not long ago. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
