The Game Touches Reality

Owen stepped onto the altar frantically, completely ignoring the possible traps. Jana is also in the same state, but a little more restrained than Owen.

Yu Tu and the three hurriedly followed.

The altar has three floors. The edges of the first and second floors are carved with a large number of runes and frescoes. Owen touched the mural on the second floor and said happily: "Sure enough, it is the same as the altar found before. The mural here depicts the scene of the Saslow Heaven Festival. The missing parts can be found here. Completion."

Jana was also excitedly interpreting the above text, and said excitedly: "Look here, Owen. There is a complete ritual here. This discovery is really too important. We can deduce Saslow’s faith and culture through these. . And these phrases, I have seen six brand new phrases. Unbelievable, in terms of ancient gods, Saslow is unmatched."

Yu Tu and Tina also looked at the recorded ancient gods seriously. Only disdainful of the Quartet alone stood by and looked around.

After recording some novel things, Owen calmed down his emotions.

"Make a note of the important things first. The focus is still on the third-tier altar. The damage found before is too serious, and the third-tier altar is not left at all."

The four people walked up to the third floor together, and Sifang looked at the murals because they couldn't understand.

The area of ​​the third floor is much smaller than the other two floors, only the size of two basketball courts. But there are many things above. In each of the eight positions, there is a humanoid statue. The eight statues have different appearances, and the carvings are very detailed, even the lines of the magic equipment on their bodies are carved out.

Then there are the four altars in the middle. Four altars surround a round altar, and each altar has a shallow depression. I don't know what it is for.

On the third floor, Owen and Jana were obviously calmer. Jana went to check the statue, and Owen took Tina and Yu Tu to check the altar.

"For the altar, the two places that retain the most information are the frescoes on the edge and the other is the altar. The text on the four altars is slightly different and the functions are not the same."

Owen led the two to the altar in the east and said: "Generally speaking, only one altar is enough. Even if there are more than one, they should be facing the same direction. Arranged like this altar. , This is the first time I see you."

Tina asked: "Teacher, logically speaking, if there are multiple altars, should they be divided into primary and secondary?"

"Indeed. However, it may not be applicable here. The four altars have the same size and the same furnishings. The different texts above are only introductions to sacrifices. Xitai livestock, Beitai are ritual vessels, South Taiwan is crops, and Dongtai is soldiers. Blade. I can't find any contact yet."

Yu Tu looked at the round table in the middle of the four altars and asked, "Teacher, what is the round table in the middle used for?"

"I don't know, I have never seen such a thing. If there are no such altars, that one can be called an altar. However, I have never seen a circular altar."

Tina walked over curiously, looked at the lines on it, and said uncertainly: "This one seems to be a channel for bloodletting. There are also corresponding ones on the ground. Isn't it an altar?"

"Slot? Let me see."

Owen walked to the round table with a serious face and carefully observed the lines on it. Reached out and touched a bit of the particles inside, and took a closer look.

"It seems that Tina was right. This thing is for bleeding. This is also an altar, and it's the main altar."

"Then teacher, what is their purpose for doing this?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen this thing. The current information alone is not enough to judge the specific effect."

Owen looked at the ground under his feet, and the lines that seemed to be decorative had turned into something else in his eyes.

"Since it is bloodletting, it means that this channel should be something that is always necessary. Yu Tu, water."

Owen took Yu Tu's water bag, jumped onto the round table, and poured water on it.

The water fell on the round table and began to flow along the channel. Soon it flowed from the round table to the bottom. As the water continued to increase, soon a magic circle outlined by water appeared in front of several people.

Jana also noticed the situation here, and came over to ask the whole story.

After asking, Jana looked at the magic circle under her feet and said solemnly: "Owen, this magic circle reminds me of a kind of sacrifice."

"which one?"

"Have you heard of the Sky Funeral Ceremony?"

"I remember, it seemed to be a special sacrifice of a branch of orcs. A large number of animals were dedicated to the gods, in exchange for the power to allow the young and middle-aged of their tribe to receive special blessings."

"No, what you said about the heavenly sacrifice ceremony. The heavenly funeral ceremony was proposed by the sorcerer. The earliest record was four hundred years ago. We all know that when offering sacrifices, sacrifices must be made on the altar. The sky funeral ceremony uses the magic circle to expand the scope of the altar in disguise. Within the scope of the second magic circle, it is counted as an altar. In other words, more sacrifices can be enshrined."

Tina asked strangely: "What's the point of doing this?"

"Yes, and it's significant."

Owen solemnly said: "Before the battle of the abyss. The most enshrined were not the seventeen gods. It was some existence similar to the evil gods. The believers provided sacrifices for the evil gods to enjoy, and the evil gods gave the believers their power. This It is an ancient transaction that cannot be violated. The more sacrifices there are, the more power the Cthulhu needs to pay. The sky burial ceremony should have appeared in order to serve this pattern. However, the time does not seem to be right?"

Jana shook her head and said, "I just think of that kind of sacrifice. It's not certain."

"There is still too little information. Are there clues to those statues?"

"It's hard to say, it looks too realistic, but it doesn't look like a statue. However, I can be sure that it is not a product of Saslow. This altar is probably moved from other places in this country."

"There is no way, let's find clues elsewhere."

Just as a few people were about to leave, Yu Tu saw something move from the corner of her eye.

Yu Tu looked back vigilantly, his eyes met with a pair of dead eyes.

"There is a problem with the statue!"

As soon as Yu Tu finished speaking, the statue launched an attack. He appeared in front of Yu Tu in an instant, without any trace of movement. Directly stretched out his hand to pinch Yu Tu's neck and lifted him up.

Everyone who heard Yu Tu's shout quickly turned their heads, just to see the scene of Yu Tu being attacked.

Two light arrows shot out in an instant, directly penetrating the elbow and wrist of the stone statue.

Pinching Yu Tu's palms loose, Yu Tu immediately took advantage of Takong to pull the distance, and looked at the stone statue vigilantly.

The stone statue sluggishly raised his arm and looked at the two holes in his hand. Through that hole, you can see some turbid liquid inside.

"Sha Sa."

The stone statue was speaking strange language, and turned to look at Owen and others.

All four people understood what it said. Sha Sa, a common phrase in ancient gods. Although there is only one pronunciation, it is a Liuhe phrase. It means-longing for blood.

Looking at the currents where the stone statues were originally gathered, Owen said with an ugly expression: "It looks like these stone statues are not decorative. Fortunately, there is only one. It should be able to handle it."

"Teacher, be careful, he seems to move instantly."

As soon as Yu Tu finished speaking, the stone statue appeared behind Tina, with a knife with one hand, and directly passed Tina's chest.
