On the cliffs of dense forest.

In the ruins of a collapsed ancient building, Swade and his companions, covered in wounds, are struggling to find a way out.

"Are you sure there is something here?" Toby asked, dragging his tired and painful body and staggering.

Swade shook his head. "Didn't I tell you that was the direction we chose when we were desperate? I'm only sure the circle marked this is it.

But who knows what he's doing here, drawing circles?"

"Maybe he buried the treasure here?" Lisa Lisa shrugged and said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, it's really possible." The old man laughed.

Zahanu, holding the broken weapon, searched among the ruins.

"I need to rest." Toby, who was the most seriously injured, could not hold on any longer. He saw a wall that looked relatively solid and sat down.

The moment he sat down, it seemed as if some mechanism was triggered.

"Crack!"

"Wait, did I... touch something?" Toby's body instantly stiffened as a rock.

However, before anyone could respond to him, a downward hole suddenly opened beneath him.

"what!"

Screams rang out.

Swade and Lisa Lisa beside them hurriedly bent down and grabbed Toby tightly.

"Thank you! God, I feel like I shouldn't be here at all. It's like all my luck has run out. Am I cursed?"

Toby was pulled up by the two men. The bumpy ride, the tense escape, the fierce battle, and the pain had already exhausted him both physically and mentally.

This time, no one mocked him verbally, but their eyes showed pity.

"Damn it, stop looking at me like that. Get out of here and find a way out."

Toby could hardly bear such a look.

Zahanu walked to the open hole and looked down.

"It looks like a tunnel has been dug out below, and I don't know where it leads to."

"Let's go. Wherever it leads is better than staying here. Even if it's a dead end, at least we can rest there."

As Swade spoke, several people cleaned up the surrounding traces briefly, and then filed in one after another. The last person put the stone slab back in its original position, and it looked seamless.

At least that's what they think.

"There's wind." said Zahanu, who was walking in front.

This means that the area inside is at least ventilated.

Everyone walked forward along the tunnel, but they didn't expect that the tunnel was much longer than they had imagined.

After walking for at least ten minutes, they finally felt a stronger breeze, and it seemed that the exit was just ahead.

When Zahanu stepped out of the cave, what came into view was a pitch-black space, but he could feel from his physical sense that it was extremely empty.

Everyone came out one after another.

The slight sound they made when they touched the stones as they crawled out of the cave was amplified and echoed here.

"How big is this place?"

"I don't know. It's too dark. I can't see anything."

They could only vaguely sense the emptiness of the place through a few cracks at the top.

But it seemed to be night outside, and the light coming in was extremely weak.

"Look for torches or sticks or something like that. There should be some lighting in such a large space." The old man said based on his experience.

Everyone searched everywhere and found oil lamps, torches and various lighting pillars nearby.

Soon, they lit a fire. The lighting of this oil lamp seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, and soon, oil lamps throughout the space lit up one after another.

"No, this is a little wrong." Lisa Lisa's expression became nervous.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the flames of the lights that were lit together in the distance had a distinctly different color, a blood red.

Under the blood-red light, the entire space looked particularly eerie and terrifying.

Soon, the whole space was illuminated.

Except for a few torches beside them, this huge underground cavity was completely shrouded in blood-red light.

Those flames that looked like burning blood made several people feel extremely uneasy.

"I don't care what monsters and demons come out again."

Toby simply gave up and sat down to rest.

"Is this an altar?" Swade asked uncertainly.

But obviously, no one present could give a professional answer in this regard.

The entire underground cave was dug very spaciously. Looking up at the top, they found that it was at least twenty meters away from the top of the stone wall.

The entire space is arc-shaped, and at the very edge there is a tunnel extending underground, but it looks more like a tunnel dug into the cracks in the cliff.

In front is a circular stone platform with stone pillars connected to the top of the head, supporting the entire space.

In the center of the stone platform is a sacrificial altar with stairs extending upward.

Going up the stairs, you can see an extremely conspicuous altar, which is located right in the center of the entire space.

The flames of all the blood-red torches can illuminate it. Even if there is no torch on it, it can be seen clearly under the blood-red light, emitting an inexplicable and chilling malice.

"Wait, is there something up there?"

Zahanu took a few steps forward and asked with narrowed eyes.

Following his reminder, several people looked over and discovered that there was a sacrifice on the altar.

Iron chains hung from above his head, and a sacrifice was hung with his hands tied, about one meter above the altar.

Due to the special lighting layout, they didn't notice it at first. Only after they took a few steps closer did they realize that there seemed to be a dark shadow there.

"Do you want to... go over?" Lisa Lisa asked in a trembling voice.

Zahanu had taken a few steps forward, wanting to see more clearly.

"Hey! Something's wrong with him, hold him!" the old man suddenly shouted.

When Swade, who was closest to Zahanu, tried to stop him, it was too late. Zahanu's forward steps seemed to have triggered a mechanism.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a roar, the burning blood-red flames suddenly exploded and grew, and the entire space was completely filled with blood-red.

At this moment, the object that was hanging there like a sacrifice was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

It was a "person" with pure white skin, complete limbs, but no hair on the body, and even the facial features did not exist, as if it was a simple human figure casually molded from white clay.

"Kakaka!"

The sound of bones colliding echoed in the space.

Skeletons one after another crawled out from nowhere.

Above his head, a spider that was three or four meters long and was hanging down along a blood-colored silk thread.

Almost instantly, the area was filled with a large number of monsters.

"Oh my God, could anything be more unlucky than this?"

Toby let out a cry of despair. (End of this chapter)
