Chapter 365 The Real Altar
The crystal stone recorded part of the scene back then and even became a medium for Song Ying to enter. In his eyes, this thing was just a crystal stone, but in Song Ying's eyes, it was a very important thing for the floating island.
"You can give me anything, but I can't accept this crystal. Its effect is far greater than you think."
Song Ying had no way to explain the matter clearly, and could only vaguely express that this thing was very important.
"Okay, I'm looking for something else for you."
Seeing that the other party did not force her to accept the crystal, Song Ying smiled.
"Great Elder, we can have dinner now."
The patrol members in the distance were calling Astrid. After all, they had been out for a long time and everyone was hungry. It was not good to keep everyone waiting, so the two of them walked towards the camp without delay.
When Song Ying came back, he saw three tents in the camp, lined up in a row, and two bonfires in front of the tents.
It’s hard to tell what the bonfire is made of. It doesn’t look like wood, and there is no wood in this cave. If you want to collect it from above, it won’t be that fast.
"What material is this fire made of?"
"This is produced by the Council of Elders. By compressing the wood and adding a formation, it can be easily carried out in the wild."
Astrid answered behind Song Ying.
"Really convenient."
"Your torch is more useful. It can actually keep burning."
"No, it also uses energy, and it is replenished with this."
Song Ying took out an energy stone, a small one that could be used for a long time.
"This is actually not very convenient, but it gave me an idea. I can research some portable lamps when I go back."
Astrid Silky wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said something about the transformation of utensils.
The food is actually very simple, just heating up the meat and vegetables and eating them with bread.
Song Ying still ate the meat between bread. This way the bread wouldn't be too dry, and the bread that absorbed the gravy would be more fragrant and delicious.
The patrol members found the way Song Ying ate interesting and followed her example, which was well received.
It was already noon when they arrived here. After some searching, the seven elders went back. Now it was already dark outside after their meal.
Standing next to the stone gate, you can see the sky outside gradually getting darker.
"If you're scared, don't just stand there."
Astrid said teasingly while standing not far behind Song Ying.
Song Ying actually stood here to see if there would be any changes outside after dark, and she actually heard something different.
After dark, there was a slight sound of machinery outside. The sound was very light and it should not be a large mechanism.
Song Ying pointed outside.
"There should be some changes outside now. If you are not afraid, go out and take a look."
Astrid didn't expect that there would be changes outside, and flew out of the cave with some disbelief.
When I flew out, I saw that all the statues outside were lit up, emitting flickering lights in the darkness.
He looked at Song Ying who was still at the entrance of the cave with some shock. What kind of hearing could one have to hear such a tiny sound.
After checking outside, I found that there was no change except that the lights were on, and I didn't know the meaning of such a mechanism.
"How did you find out?"
This was Astrid's first question when she returned to the cave.
"What I heard was a subtle mechanical noise when it was dark outside."
In fact, he didn't need to go out to see the situation, he roughly knew what the agency did.
Although she couldn't see the outside directly from the cave entrance where she was standing, there were clouds outside, and the light shining on the carvings would also be reflected on the clouds outside.
You can clearly see that some clouds have become much brighter, and if you think about it carefully, you can tell that there are lights on outside.
"So the lights are really on outside, right?"
Song Ying and Astrid returned to sit by the campfire.
"Yes, the scenes we see now are more terrifying than those seen during the day."
“Is there any special meaning in lighting the lamp at this time?”
Song Ying ignored him. She was afraid of the altar but not the statues outside.
"I haven't heard of any special meaning. Maybe they think it has some meaning."
The two discussed for a while without coming up with any answer. Song Ying glanced at the time on the system and saw that it was almost time for her to go to bed, so she said goodbye and prepared to go to bed.
The patrol team took turns on night duty, so Song Ying didn't sleep very soundly.
In the second half of the night, she heard a voice, murmuring something but she couldn't make out what it was saying.
She lay in her bedding and looked at the top of the tent. There was no movement outside, and it didn't seem like everyone could hear it.
She wouldn't make any move unless she heard any movement from others. After all, she didn't want to do such a stupid thing as going out alone to investigate.
After waiting for a while, the whispering voice disappeared, but I heard a sound coming from Astrid's tent next to me.
It seems that he also heard the whispering sound, so he should go out now to ask the person on night duty.
Song Ying didn't want to sleep either. She got up and stuck her head out of the tent door. The light outside was not very good, but Astrid's golden wings were still very conspicuous.
When Astrid leaned out to look, she had already noticed Song Ying's actions.
"Were you woken up too?"
"Yeah, I couldn't hear what they were saying. It was buzzing like a bug and was too loud."
Song Ying complained as if she was woken up by someone.
"I can't tell which direction the sound came from?"
"No, it feels right next to my ear, very close."
Song Ying's super hearing has a shortcoming: she cannot distinguish the direction of some sounds because they sound too close and she cannot tell the difference.
"Can you tell the direction?"
I asked Astrid back, hoping he could figure out the direction.
"It's probably in the direction of the altar, but I can't tell exactly how far away it is."
Hearing this, Song Ying frowned. Astrid thought Song Ying was scared and tried to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid. He made these things just to scare us so that we don't dare to continue investigating. When Lao Qi arrives tomorrow, he will turn this place upside down."
"I'm not afraid. As long as I can get through it, it won't scare me. It's just that I can't sleep well, which is very uncomfortable."
It was now a little past four o'clock, which was usually the time when people slept the deepest. Song Ying, who was woken up, actually had a headache.
He took out some fruit from his bag and shared it with everyone present, so that everyone could eat one to wake themselves up.
"We can't sleep anymore. Since he woke us up, it means he doesn't want us to sleep. I don't know if it was a black water man like yesterday or a real person who made such a noise."
Song Ying thought about it and realized that the Black Water man didn't speak yesterday. A big reason for this was that they couldn't speak anymore after they became like that.
"It's probably not the Black Water People. There's no pool of water over there on the altar."
What Song Ying said was not without basis. The Black Water Man yesterday was more lethal because of the pool of water. There was no water at the altar, so even if someone went there, he would not be able to do anything.
A few people chatted by the fire until dawn. If they didn't sleep, they wouldn't hear the sound.
Not long after breakfast, the Seventh Elder came with his men. Also coming at the same time were the Sixth Elder and the Eighth Elder, who brought two teams of people on a flying boat.
The flying boat stopped directly outside the cave entrance for easy entry and exit.
When they arrived at the place, the Seventh Elder was still sleeping on the flying boat. It was the Sixth Elder who pinched his ear and led him into the cave.
"Sixth brother, can't you be gentler? I was almost dead tired from running around yesterday. What's the harm in letting me sleep a little longer?"
The noisy noise startled several people who were unable to sleep.
"Big Brother"
The three stopped fighting when they saw Astrid and greeted her politely.
Astrid didn't waste any time talking to them. She just told them what they had discovered when the seven elders left yesterday, and also explained what they were going to do today.
Be careful when going to the altar. After all, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light.
Song Ying didn't dare go to the altar again, but went to the cave behind the waterfall that she discovered yesterday.
Astrid also came over, saying she was curious about what was going on inside.
She couldn't stop the other person because his wings were on his body, so naturally she didn't say anything.
This time when Song Ying flew up, he flew up from behind the waterfall, so he could enter the cave without going through the waterfall. The only downside was that the place was a little smaller.
After successfully arriving at the cave entrance, Song Ying took out a torch to illuminate the cave. The cave was quite large and could accommodate two people walking side by side.
The torch flickered in the cave, but nothing could be seen further.
After Astrid came up, she used the scepter directly as a lamp, the brightness of the entire space increased a lot, and more things could be seen in the distance.
The Seventh Elder also came along. He had seen the altar yesterday and didn't want to see it again, so he came here to explore with his eldest brother.
There were four patrol members following behind, so that there would be someone to run errands and report any situation.
Astrid walked in front to lead the way, Song Ying followed behind him, then the patrol team, and the Seventh Elder himself followed behind.
This location is actually nearly fifty meters away from the top, which should be very spacious for the lower part of the floating island.
The group walked about twenty meters and suddenly entered a cave. This place was very similar to the altar, except that the people around it were not real people, but statues, and even the movements were the same.
When Song Ying first saw the scene inside, he thought he had returned to the altar from yesterday, but a closer look revealed that it was more exquisite here. Whether it was the patterns on the altar or the carvings around it, they were incomparable to the crudely made ones before.
The biggest difference is that this altar has water. There is a circle of flowing water around the altar.
The light from Astrid's scepter became brighter, and Song Ying could clearly see the color of the circle of flowing water.
It is not clear and transparent, nor is it pitch black like a pond. The water here is red and black, and a little sticky, looking more like blood.
Song Ying took a half step back. The ditch was estimated to be at least two meters wide and at least one and a half meters deep. The liquid inside was also at least one meter deep.
If it's all blood, how many people are there here?
As they went deeper, they saw more things. At the deepest part, they could see a cave entrance, so there should be other caves.
Not daring to walk up to the altar, Song Ying walked along the edge of the altar, wanting to see clearly what was in the pool.
The patrol team spread out to look around, and one brave man went to check the innermost entrance of the cave.
The result was that he stretched his head to take a look and immediately retracted it.
"Great Elder, there are only bones in here."
At this time, everyone's attention was drawn to that place, and Song Ying also went over to take a look.
The nearly twenty square meter space was filled with bones, which were nearly two meters high.
"Who on earth did this? It has not been discovered for so many years."
"In the past, the management of the floating island was quite strict during the imperial dynasty. However, after the royal family declined and was forced to step down, there was no one to manage the floating island anymore, so if someone went missing, it would not be discovered."
"Being forced to step down? Didn't the one forcing him want to take the top position? Why didn't he get the top position in the end?"
Song Ying grasped the strange point.
"If someone is killed by the royal family, even if they can't make the decision, they can't force anyone to take the throne."
"Both sides suffer."
“This place looks quite old.”
Song Ying was half-turning at this time, and could see the situation on the altar with the corner of his eyes.
Suddenly, a stream of black and red water shot up and was directly dispersed in the air by an invisible force. The scattered blood beads flew towards Song Ying.
The three of them worked in tacit understanding to put up a protective shield in front of them to block this wave of attacks.
The attack did not end there, and water droplets continued to shoot towards him.
The patrol team members were not very capable and could only hide behind the three of them. The corner of one of them's clothes was touched by the blood and a big hole was immediately corroded on it which continued to spread outward.
"Tear off the corners of your clothes."
Astrid reacted quickly and asked someone to cut off the corner of her clothes so that it would not spread to her body.
After the corner of the clothes was thrown on the ground, it did not stop expanding, but continued to expand outwards, and finally the entire corner of the clothes was corroded completely.
As blood beads continued to be ejected, the air began to be filled with the stench of blood.
"The problem here is indeed bigger."
The Seventh Elder did not look nervous at all, instead he looked very interested.
Song Ying was wondering if this was the same Black Water Man who practiced the same technique before, or if he had some other evil technique, or if this was a mechanism?
This attack did not last long. It seemed that the opponent was exhausted or the mechanism had ended.
The entire cave fell silent, and no more water was pumped up.
"Be careful, and attack us when we are least prepared."
The Seventh Elder gave instructions to the patrol members behind him, and the three of them decided to send the patrol members to the passage first, which was a relatively safe area.
The group walked around the altar. Song Ying kept staring at the water in the canal, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.
After sending the people to the passage, Song Ying and the other two returned to the cave of the altar. Astrid also released a ball of light in the air, and the entire space became bright.
Song Ying saw the stone walls around him clearly. There were many holes on them, and there was a head in each hole.
Standing below, it felt like countless people were looking at me.
Just when Song Ying and the others wanted to study the head in the hole, the lines in the middle of the altar began to absorb the viscous liquid in the canal.
When the entire altar pattern was painted with liquid, a human figure slowly formed in the middle.
