Chapter 15 Returning to the Altar
“You did a good job, but I have a task to give you now.”
After simply praising Fei Que, Zhou Xu quickly got to the point. .
“The five of them were originally responsible for collecting supplies, but from now on, they will also be temporarily incorporated into your hunting team. Everything has been prepared for them. You take them to the next area. , teach them.”
Fei Que has a command with a maximum of four stars, so at this time, Zhou Xu is also willing to give him some tasks to train him.
Fei Que, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. Anyway, their leader gave the order and he just obeyed.
In a limited area, stacking too many traps is just a waste.
Now that they have just arrived, their exploration of this dark forest is limited to the outer areas, so a large number of traps are concentrated in two relatively limited areas on the outer edges.
In the next few days, they will look for opportunities to explore slowly and deeply. After the map is opened, the range of traps deployed by their hunting team will naturally expand accordingly.
[The follow-up exploration of this dark forest should be able to start slowly in the next two days...]
After calling Fei Que and making simple arrangements for personnel transfer, Zhou Xu also made some appropriate adjustments to the subsequent big plan in his mind.
Then he raised his head to confirm the position of the sun.
【It should be two or three hours before sunset. 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu turned his head and looked at the mountain.
"Da Shan, you guys come with me to the altar to have a look."
Anyway, I just have time, and the location of the altar is not too far from here.
The only thing we need to worry about is whether there will be any danger, so we need to bring Dashan and the other five as bodyguards.
He just left. After moving a certain distance, Zhou Xu saw the altar made of stones from a distance on this bare wasteland.
After getting closer, I don’t know if it was his imagination, but the altar felt much worn out.
A few steps to the altar, during which the stones under my feet became somewhat loose.
Standing in the center of the altar, he was summoned from this position. At the same time, he still remembered that there were many strange symbols painted on the altar.
However, now, these symbols are all gone.
【What's going on? 】
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Xu squatted down and swept away the sand and dust on the altar with his hands, trying to find traces of those symbols, but to no avail.
“Dashan, were you the ones who painted the symbols on the altar at that time?”
Hearing the question, Dashan quickly shook his head.
"It was originally on the altar."
[The symbols that were originally on the altar are gone now, which means that the altar has exhausted its power after summoning me. Already? 】
While he was thinking this, Zhou Xu quickly noticed that several stones were falling down at the edge of the altar.
With no time to think about it, Zhou Xu, who saw this scene in his eyes, instinctively felt something bad and rushed down from the altar with a single stride.
Almost at the same time, the entire altar collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
Looking back at the pile of ruins, Zhou Xu let out a long breath.
[From our current understanding, the symbols on this altar are most likely to be mantras. 】
【According to Dashan, these altars were created by the old gods, but the old gods have long since died and have even become a legend. That time has definitely passed a long time ago. . 】
[The reason why such a simple altar can be maintained for such a long time is because of the blessing of the power of mantra. Once the power of mantra is exhausted and loses the power to maintain, the altar will naturally collapse. 】Originally Zhou Xu wanted to come here to study the methods of this altar. Now that the altar has collapsed, he naturally has no need to stay here anymore.
After all, they are still bearing a certain degree of risk when they come here.
But just when Zhou Xu was about to call Dashan and the others and turn around to leave, an idea flashed through his mind.
【Wait a minute, how about giving it a try? 】
As the thoughts in his mind changed, several difficult and ancient tones came out of his mouth.
[Eye of Insight. 】
In an instant, the world in front of Zhou Xu became clearer. Even a grain of sand flying in the wind was so clear.
Obviously, this eye of insight can not only be used to see the human panel.
In addition to passively improving his vision and insight, when actively activated, the improvement of his vision and insight will undoubtedly become stronger!
In this state, he caught the faint silver light that penetrated slightly from the pile of rubble at a glance.
"Come here and help!"
While shouting, Zhou Xu quickly ran over and started digging.
“This is it, dig it up!”
During this period, although Dashan and the others didn’t know what was going on, since their leader had given the order, they had nothing to say, and they all Start digging.
The altar itself is not that big. With the combined efforts of everyone, the rubble on it was quickly and completely dug up.
Zhou Xu's eyes fell on a stone the size of a fist.
Da Shan and the others did not seem to see the faint silver light emitting from this stone, but with the help of his insightful eyes, he noticed it!
At the same time, I also noticed that on the surface of the relatively flat stone, there was an ancient character that seemed to disappear completely in the next second!
【Mantra? 】
At this moment, Zhou Xu's heartbeat accelerated slightly. With a breath adjustment, he tentatively stretched out his hand towards the light ball.
After getting close to a certain distance, the silver light ball directly turned into a ray of silver light and disappeared into his palm.
At that moment, a character emerged in his mind. The feeling was exactly the same as when he absorbed the [Eye of Insight] before.
In the process, he also clearly understood the meaning of this character.
If [Eye of Insight] is a complete vocabulary, then this character is just a single word, and the other parts have been missing.
As for this word, I don’t know if the old god who originally created this altar left a trace of strength behind because of his slippery hands. He still exists and has not disappeared because of his arrival.
After converting it into words they can understand, the word corresponding to this mantra should be "chuan".
[Did mantras like ‘teleport’ originally appear on this altar? 】
The thought flashed through his mind and he decided to give it a try.
The next second, that ancient note came out of his mouth...
【Biography】
At that moment, he vaguely felt a subtle energy fluctuation, but it was quickly cut off.
After getting the result, Zhou Xu exhaled a long breath.
[This is probably because this mantra is incomplete. A complete mantra is needed to exert the corresponding power. 】
