Chapter 59 Mysterious Altar
Xu Xin decided to use this animal sinew to make a blue-level heavy crossbow. After all, his tree house only had one heavy crossbow and lacked protection from several directions.
But these pork...
Xu Xin had a headache. Three pigs, a total of nearly 600 kilograms of pork, weighed nearly 60 kilograms even if put into his current blue-grade backpack.
It's not that his body can't bear the weight, but in this jungle full of wild beasts, the weight will affect his performance too much, and even with so much weight, the Silver King underneath him won't be able to bear it.
The method last time cannot be used now, and it is impossible for Li Wenxi to be in the tree house now.
Forget it, let’s put it here first. Although it is easy to be eaten by wild animals, it doesn't matter. Pork is not a good thing.
Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf, and Coco also climbed on the wolf's back.
Xu Xin looked at the map. There were several bright red dots scattered around the general position of the blue-rayed building. Although not as bright as the brown bear Xu Xin first encountered, it was much brighter than the wild boar and his mount Silver King.
"Could it be a tiger?"
Xu Xin had seen a tiger when he came here last time. The big orange tiger made him sweat. There were indeed tigers in this jungle.
Although compared to the brown bear before, the tiger is only a little guy of 300 kilograms, but the agility and explosive power of the cat cannot be surpassed. It is definitely the king in its same weight class. Even if the silver king grows to 300 or 400 kilograms, He will not be a match for Tiger either.
Tigers and brown bears are both the top predators in the jungle. They basically don't bother each other because they both know that the other is difficult to deal with.
Xu Xin has no idea about the tiger that even brown bears are afraid of.
Of course, ordinary tigers are naturally no match for the huge brown bear he just encountered. You must know that the brown bear subspecies living in the same area as tigers on the earth only weighs about three to four hundred kilograms, so they will not disturb each other. The big guy before had already weighed a ton, and he was definitely the well-deserved overlord of this jungle.
But Xu Xin doesn't think the tigers in this world are ordinary tigers.
You have to get around those red dots.
Cats mostly hunt by lurking and then bursting out. If you run far ahead, they won't chase you.
"Yin Wang, go in that direction, don't go too fast, just walk slowly." Xu Xin told Yin Wang the route he should take. Yin Wang let out an "ouch" and walked forward slowly.
Xu Xin didn't dare to use blue-level resources anymore. After all, it would be cool if he attracted tigers.
There are small animals running around from time to time. Without the attraction of blue-level resources, these small animals will not run towards him stupidly. The accuracy of Xu Xin's crossbow has dropped a lot, but it can also be used to practice moving targets.
"Whoosh!" The crossbow arrow hit a rabbit that jumped out of the grass.
[Hunt hare, get points: 1 point. 】
Xu Xin walked over to the wolf, skillfully pulled out the crossbow bolt and put it into the quiver, and disassembled the rabbit and put it into the backpack.
This was the tenth arrow. Only three arrows hit. Although the hit rate was low, Xu Xin was already very satisfied. He is not a professional crossbowman. The shooting rate of this moving target is already very high. How can any hunter hit it with perfect accuracy?
Always paying attention to the map, Xu Xin rode the Silver King through the bright red dots, getting closer and closer to the stone pillars emitting blue light.
From this distance, Xu Xin could already see the statue on the stone pillar.
"Is this... a beast statue? Silver King, hurry up, let's go to the stone pillar."
"Ouch!" Silver King responded, speeding up instantly.
In just a few dozen seconds, after walking through the jungle, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the entire building was completely displayed in front of Xu Xin.
"It is indeed an altar!" Xu Xin said to herself as she looked at the building in front of her.
This altar occupies an area of hundreds of square meters in the jungle and is surrounded by the entire jungle.
The floor of the altar is not soil, but dark green stone tiles. There are countless scratches on the stone tiles, and the color has become a little dull in the wind and sun, and it looks a bit old.
The altar is square in shape, with a stone pillar nearly one meter thick at each of the four corners. The stone pillars are about ten meters high. Each stone pillar is engraved with strange patterns, and there is a strange beast statue at the top.
In the middle of the altar was a stone table with uneven surfaces. The sides of the stone table had bright red patterns, like blood vessels, which seemed to be flowing slowly under the sunlight.
Seeing the bright red patterns on the edge of the stone table, Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
This pattern was very similar to the blood-red filaments on the vines before, reminding him of the group of monsters underground.
This altar must be related to those monsters!
It was difficult to dodge while riding on the back of a wolf, so Xu Xin got off the back of the wolf. But the situation jumped directly onto his shoulders.
"Keke, can you sense the danger of this altar?" Xu Xin asked Keke's opinion.
Coco tilted her head and looked at the altar for a long time, seeming a little confused, nodded, and finally shook her little head: "Hey."
"You can detect something strange, but it's not dangerous. Is that what you mean?"
"Hey!" Coco's voice was affirmative this time.
Xu Xin breathed out. He chose to believe in Coco and stabilized his mind. He stepped into the area of the altar and stepped on the stone floor of the altar.
"Click."
The moment his feet landed inside the altar, Xu Xin seemed to hear something. It was very slight, but he was still caught by the nervous man.
"No way..." The corners of Xu Xin's eyes twitched. Could he have triggered some mechanism?
Swallowing, Xu Xin took out an orange from his backpack and ate it quickly, then looked at the map. Fortunately, the bright red dots were not attracted by the oranges he took out. It seemed that the attraction range of blue-level materials was not Not that big.
After eating the oranges, Xu Xin's mind suddenly became clearer, and the mental exhaustion caused by the hunting just disappeared.
He took a deep breath, squatted down and touched the stone tile floor with his hand, but no prompt appeared.
He then walked towards a corner of the altar, where a thick stone pillar stood, with a beast statue at the top.
This beast has a fat body, short and powerful limbs, and two outrageously exaggerated fangs, which are even longer than the body of the statue.
"This is a wild boar statue?" Even though the sculpture was very majestic, masculine and abstract, Xu Xin could tell at a glance that it was a wild boar.
He looked at the other three stone pillars, each with a different beast statue on it. Although the statues were all very exaggerated and abstract, Xu Xin could still distinguish them as a wolf, a wild cat and a rabbit.
Looking back at the stone pillar in front of him, he reached out and touched it.
The stone pillars were a little hot due to the sun, and the surface was a little rough.
[Altar pillar (blue): The "gods" will carve the required sacrifices on the stone pillar for the sacrificers to choose. 】
Gods? Sacrifice?
These two words made Xu Xin's heart lift.
Yes, when it comes to altars, there must be an object for sacrifice, which is the so-called god.
But why is the word "god" in quotation marks in this introduction?
"God..." Xu Xin thought of the mysterious voice in her mind, "Could it be this mysterious voice? Or..."
Xu Xin looked at the stone table in the center. The blood-red patterns on it seemed to be more vivid.
"Or are they the monsters underground?"
"Who is this altar offering sacrifice to?" Thanks to [Fish Tail Disciple] for the 700 starting coin reward and [Original Immortality] for the 100 starting coin reward! Thank you both! Thank you!
