Chapter 487: A Different Altar4,600 words(2/2)
On the contrary, it seems to be guiding and leading the way.
He felt that there was something guiding him to discover and explore this place.
Of course, he was not that stupid. Instead, he climbed up the surrounding hills and looked inside the resource area surrounded by hills.
"The green area is actually not small, at least a few hundred meters in radius." Qin Fu said, "And in the center of the lush jungle, an altar is surrounded."
...Is it really that altar?
If it were that altar, maybe it really wouldn't be too surprising.
It is normal for an altar with such magical power that even wild beasts dare not approach it to protect the surrounding jungle in the cold winter.
"So, I decided to explore it in depth."
Qin Fu, who had a large-scale early warning of danger, was very confident in his abilities, and he also had a casual personality, so he entered the hilly resource area directly.
Then he quickly arrived at the dense bush, went deep into it, and walked to the altar.
Then, his abilities came into play.
The trees beside the altar seem to have survived for a long time and have been strengthened.
In other words, the trees near the altar have also mutated.
Their root systems are embedded very deep in the soil, even close to fifty meters deep!
Moreover, these roots are densely spread and entangled underground.
Qin Fu relied on his own ability to easily explore the underground of the altar.
Therefore, he immediately found the entrance to a secret passage leading underground.
The entrance is under a poplar tree.
Not under the poplar's crown, but under its trunk.
That's right, if the thick poplar tree is not cut down, ordinary survivors will not be able to discover this secret passage.
But Qin Fu discovered it with his own ability.
He cut down the poplar tree and dug down about half a meter, and the entrance to the passage appeared.
Opening the entrance, he jumped in without much hesitation.
"You are so brave..." Zeng Tao pouted, "You dare to go in here."
"You have to have a spirit of exploration." Qin Fu showed a tired smile, "We're here now."
With his current mental state, his eyelids are starting to tremble as he talks about it now.
Xu Xin handed him a blue-level orange and asked him to hold on and continue talking.
Qin Fu picked up the orange and continued to talk about his experience.
It's said to be a secret passage, but it's actually like a pipeline.
That's right, the passage is circular, with a diameter of only about two meters. It looks like a pipeline buried underground for transporting something.
This pipe is very long from front to back, and seems to extend outward to the outside of the hilly resource area, while inward, it heads directly below the altar.
Adhering to the principle of staying close, Qin Fu groped directly under the altar.
Then……
"Then I got lost." Qin Fu said with an embarrassed look.
"Ah? Lost your way? You got lost in a pipeline?" Zeng Tao didn't believe it, "Can't you go back the same way?"
"That's not a pipeline at all." Qin Fu shook his head, "That's a pipeline maze."
Is it another underground maze?
After Qin Fu entered it, he walked forward only a few tens of meters when the pipe branched into three branches.
He chose the middle one because that direction was directly below the altar.
But when he walked forward for about twenty or thirty meters, he began to realize that something was wrong.
His ability actually started to fail.
Moreover, the pipe in front began to bend, and after walking a few steps, I saw a new branch of the pipe.
"I knew at that time that I had entered a very complicated underground maze, so I planned to go back to the first bifurcation point and consider the long term." Qin Fu said, "But..."
"...You can't find your way back?" Xu Xin guessed.
"...That's right." Qin Fu nodded tiredly, "I obviously only walked through a fork, and I clearly remember the path in the middle, but when I went back, I lost it."
His ability completely failed in the pipeline, and what's even more uncomfortable is that the watch can't communicate with the outside world.
At that time, he was completely trapped in the maze of underground pipes.
Fortunately, there are no dangers in the maze, unlike the previous dungeon mazes where there were mutated creatures and they would fall through the air.
This is just an ordinary stone pipe that can make people crazy and get lost.
"Stone pipe?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.
"Huh? Didn't I just say that?" Qin Fu was stunned, "It's just a stone pipe, but it's very smooth, almost like polished marble."
Stone pipe.
The floor of the altar, the sacrificial table, and the surrounding stone pillars were all made of stone.
Could it be that they are made of the same material?
The pipe and the altar are made of the same material...
By the way, when he offered sacrifices, those blood-red patterns should have crawled along the stones and onto the sacrificial table, right?
"It's too convoluted inside, and the stones can't leave any traces or engraving marks." Qin Fu said very helplessly.
"Can't leave any traces?" Zeng Tao asked, grasping the key point, "Can't you imprint?"
"I can carve it." Qin Fu shook his head and said, "The stone has a hardness of blue grade stone. I can still carve it, but..."
"The traces carved out will be restored." Xu Xin said.
"That's right." Qin Fu nodded, "I realized this after many attempts. I always carve words at the intersection, but after walking for a long time, I have never encountered the carvings I have seen before.
Later, I waited for a while after carving in situ and discovered that the carved marks would be repaired automatically in about three minutes."
"Stones can also repair themselves!" Zeng Tao was a little surprised, and then said to himself, "Then if it is used as a weapon, it can be damaged at will..."
Xu Xin was not surprised.
The floor of the altar will be repaired automatically. This is something he knew when he fought against the Blood-striped Rabbit.
It seems that the material of the underground pipe is indeed the same as the above-ground altar.
"In short, I walked inside for at least ten hours. Finally, probably due to luck, I finally reached a place that was not a pipe: an underground stone room."
Qin Fu looked at Xu Xin: "The short knife I gave you is stuck in the middle of that room."
How was that bronze dagger discovered?
"The introduction of the dagger really shocked me at the time, but I didn't think about it at the time, because when I took out the dagger, the surroundings began to shake, and then the stone wall began to break."
And at that moment, his seemingly blocked perception was restored.
In his perception, the altar is collapsing on the ground!
And now, he is at the lower edge of the altar!
Fortunately, the stone room had another exit. With his sense of perception, he knew that this path was the way back to the ground, so he ran along this passage as fast as he could!
In this run, I ran at least nearly a kilometer.
When he came out, his location was already at the edge of the hilly resource area.
He looked in the direction of the altar and realized that the altar was no longer visible.
Completely collapsed.
Hearing this, Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
The altar...really collapsed?
He remembered that he found a passage under the altar table on a moonless night, but the passage was very short and blocked.
Didn't Qin Fu explore there?
"Then what? Why haven't you gotten to the point even after talking for a long time?" Zeng Tao urged, "Where's the troll? Why hasn't the troll appeared yet?"
"...After I returned to the ground, the troll appeared." Qin Fu's eyes shook for the first time, as if he was still a little frightened by the scene at that time, "The troll was actually turned into a hill!"
Hearing this, Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
Qin Fu looked at Xu Xin again and said with a wry smile: "Boss, I didn't tell you that the location of your tree house is really dangerous. There are really monsters around here."
