Chapter 487 A Different Altar (4600 words)
"How dare you say that!" Zeng Tao, who came in behind, got angry when he heard what he said. "Do you know that the big guy you brought back almost destroyed our tree house!"
"That was the most appropriate way I could think of at the time."
Qin Fu looked much weaker than Zeng Tao, and his whole person felt very depressed.
His ability requires energy, so it is more of a mental weakness. Naturally, he cannot be as energetic as Zeng Tao now.
He is now like a drunk person. Although his body has not consumed too much, his mind is somewhat exhausted.
"So, since I have survived now, the trolls should have been driven away. What is the situation now, boss?"
Qin Fu looked at Xu Xin and asked.
"I'm kidding, with my help, wouldn't it be easy to kill that troll!" Zeng Tao puffed up his chest and said proudly.
"...The troll is dead?!" Qin Fu suddenly opened his eyes despite his listlessness.
"No, he's not dead." Xu Xin shook his head, "There is a high probability that he is still alive."
"Ah?" Zeng Tao was stunned, "Didn't you just say..."
"That's right."
Neither of the two people present knew what they had just experienced, so Xu Xin simply explained it.
"Huh? Your whole upper body exploded. You won't die that way!" Zeng Tao was stunned. "The head is gone? The head ran away by itself?"
She didn't quite believe it, so she ran to the window and looked out.
"...I didn't expect that Ma Hongwei's heavy crossbow could actually achieve this level." Qin Fu was also very surprised, "I thought we could only drive that troll away."
< br>
"Wow... the area outside was completely flattened by the explosion!" Zeng Tao exclaimed as he lay by the window and looked at the location where the big killer weapon exploded.
"So..." Xu Xin asked Qin Fu, "What have you experienced and done in the hilly resource area in the past two days? Why were you targeted by that blood-striped giant? ?”
When he was running back, he briefly said something, but it was too vague.
Xu Xin needs to know the details.
"Ah, my experience." Qin Fu glanced out the window, and then smiled bitterly, "That is really, so amazing. If I tell you, you may find it incredible."
Qin Fu began to talk about his experiences during this period.
At that time, six explorers, including Xu Xin, were trapped in the underground world.
At first, he simply ran around because he was too bored staying in the tree house.
After visiting all of the Explorer's other treehouse groups and chatting with most of them, he teleported back.
And just as he stepped out of the teleportation array, he noticed something unusual around Xu Xin's main tree house.
Because of his abilities, he is very sensitive to changes in his surrounding environment.
The surrounding plants are his eyes.
At that time, he could clearly detect signs of animal activity in the jungle only two hundred meters away from him.
But when he looked over with concentration, the presence that caught his attention was gone.
It was gone, but it caught his attention.
If it were just an ordinary animal, even a mutated creature, it would be impossible to escape his eyes.
He immediately went to check.
"At that time, I discovered the fading lines on the ground at that location." Qin Fu said.
"Treads? What textures?"
"It's probably... like the lines of mutated creatures." Qin Fu thought about it, "But it seems a little different. Moreover, the lines were obviously incomplete. And when I passed by, it was already very dim, and it was probably just past It completely disappeared in seven or eight seconds.”
"I tried to touch that location, but I didn't find anything abnormal. Do you have a clue about this?" Qin Fu looked at Xu Xin and asked.
"Why don't you ask me if I have any clue?" Zeng Tao interrupted.
"Oh? You have?"
"No."
"..." Qin Fu's mental state was poor, his head hurt, he rolled his eyes and didn't want to speak.
Xu Xin somewhat understood what Qin Fu had discovered.
He must have discovered... the culprit behind the mysterious disappearance of survivors in various regions.
It was also the culprit that caused Shi Wanyun to be inexplicably teleported to the back of the planet.
Those things appear and disappear, setting traps around the survivors' tree houses. If they step on them, they will be teleported to a very distant place like Shi Wanyun.
And those dim lines should be the lines of the unfinished teleportation formation.
He suddenly remembered that Lou Fei'er had noticed an anomaly before. After rushing over, he found a missing tree house core.
If you reason this way, the enemy is using the energy in the core of the tree house to set up the entrance to the teleportation array around the tree house.
Like his coordinates?
"Then what?" Xu Xin asked.
Qin Fu continued to explain.
After concentrating at that time, he discovered that the source of the anomaly was still to the northwest of him.
After he looked northwest, the other party suddenly moved!
Still heading northwest.
In just two seconds, the other party was beyond his exploration range and disappeared.
He immediately gave chase again.
A few hundred meters forward, I sensed the source of the anomaly again.
As a result, when he sensed it, the other side began to move away quickly.
In this way, he chased all the way northwest.
"Isn't it?" Hearing this, Zeng Tao couldn't help but speak, "Are you a little stupid? Everyone can see that I am trying to lure you in as a bait, right?"
Xu Xin also nodded.
If this is the case all the way, then the intention is indeed too obvious.
"Of course I know." Qin Fu shook his head, "But I still followed."
With the blessing of his own abilities, he still has a very clear grasp of the surrounding situation.
With this kind of confidence in his ability, although he immediately noticed that the other party was attracting him, he still followed him.
After all, it is not certain that the other party is malicious towards him.
In fact, the main reason is curiosity.
He has never walked around here. It's too boring to stay in the tree house. He might as well go out for a walk.
Soon, he was taken to the hilly resource area.
After arriving at the hilly resource area, the source of the abnormality completely disappeared.
And he also knew what the other party wanted him to see.
At that time, he was also attracted by what he saw.
"I don't know if you know that in that area, there is a small area of trees that are still green and have not withered in the cold winter, as if it were summer."
What?
Xu Xin's eyes twitched slightly.
It seems like he really doesn't know.
After the cold winter comes, he seems...
I have never been to the hilly resource area.
Over there... there's always a patch of trees that haven't withered?
"Is there such a thing?" Zeng Tao was a little surprised, "Why?"
"I was also very curious at the time." Qin Fu continued.
He knew that the abnormal source that had just attracted him to this place was probably trying to draw his attention to that area.
He only hesitated for a moment before deciding to explore further.
The other party's intention to lead the way was too obvious, which made him feel that the other party was not hostile at all.
If you really want to invite you to the urn, then such an obvious seduction is really stupid.
On the contrary, it seems to be guiding and leading the way.
He could feel 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 spreading densely underground and entangled.
Qin Fu relied on his ability to easily explore the underground of the altar clearly.
Therefore, he immediately found the entrance to a secret passage leading underground.
The entrance is under a poplar tree.
Not beneath the poplar's crown, but beneath 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 curled her lips, "You dare to go in here."
"You must have a spirit of exploration." Qin Fu showed a tired smile, "We are here."
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.
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.
Yes, 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 an underground maze again?
After Qin Fu entered it, he walked forward only a few dozen 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 abilities actually began to fail.
Moreover, the pipe in front began to bend, and after walking a few steps, a new pipe fork was seen.
"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."< br>
His ability completely failed in the pipeline, and what was even more uncomfortable was that the watch could no longer communicate with the outside world.
At that time, he was completely trapped in the maze of underground pipes.
Fortunately, there is no danger in the maze. Unlike the previous dungeon maze, there are mutated creatures and they can 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 altar 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 those stones can't leave any traces and can't be marked with words." Qin Fu said very helplessly.
"Can't leave any traces?" Zeng Tao asked, grabbing the key point, "You can't leave any traces?"
"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 will be restored." Xu Xin said.
"That's right." Qin Fu nodded, "I realized this after many times. 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 place and found that the 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, "If it were used as a weapon, wouldn't it be able to 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 underground pipes are indeed made of the same material as the above-ground altar.
"Anyway, I walked inside for at least ten hours. In the end, probably due to luck, I finally came to 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 was 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!
This time 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 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 bitter smile: "Boss, it's not me who said that the location of your tree house is really dangerous. There are really monsters around here." (End of Chapter)
