Chapter 275 Human Relics
Time gradually passed, and it was already afternoon. Since it was winter, it got dark very early.
At this time, the doorbell at the back door of Li Chengqi's house rang. He ran to open the door and saw Qian Sen standing outside the door with a tired look on his face.
"I'm here to pick up Miss Adas. Is there anything wrong with her?"
"No, we were watching TV series together just now."
When Li Chengqi saw Qian Sen, he brought a few people with him. He didn't want to bring a bunch of heavily armed combatants when he came in the morning. He asked curiously: "Is the matter resolved? It was pretty fast. I thought at least It’ll take two or three days.”
"It's far from being resolved. We just lowered the alert level temporarily."
"Any new discoveries?"
"We roughly confirmed what happened by asking about the detained gods and communicating with foreign colleagues. We have no control over this matter."
"How to say?"
"The problem lies on the other side. It is said that some particularly powerful magic items knocked down many gods. I am not sure if they are all for the time being, but what is certain is that the number of gods who have landed on the earth is very large. The number currently counted There are more than 400, and the number is still increasing as the search continues.”
"Can't we think of a way?"
"What do you think? The problem is on the other side, not ours. Besides, even the gods who were shot down can't explain the reason."
Qian Sen sighed deeply:
"I have to be on full alert recently to prevent these gods who have fallen to the earth from causing trouble at any time."
The impact points were random and the number was huge. The equipment for detecting space transfer signals exploded when the incident happened. Who knows where these downed gods landed.
Some gods may have made Aida like this, because without the supply of divine power, she quickly fell into a state of suspended animation.
This is a good thing for Jiu Ke, at least the state of suspended animation will not cause trouble.
I'm afraid that the kind of evil god who happens to have a supply of divine power and likes to cause trouble everywhere is running around, which will be troublesome.
Therefore, the alert level has only been lowered, but the search for these downed gods must not stop, but needs to be intensified.
I feel like I can suggest Qian Sen shave his head, so at least he doesn't have to worry about his hairline.
"I'm here to pick up Miss Adas. We have a special shelter for time-travelers in the city next door. All the gods who fell nearby have been taken in there."
"You won't catch them and slice them into slices, right?"
"No, we know the importance of gods to another world. Misbehavior may cause larger-scale disasters. We are just containing them to prevent them from running around and causing incidents."
Jiu Ke's painting style was not very good, but his work was always reliable. Li Chengqi turned around and asked Aida to come downstairs.
"I will notify you if there is any new information. You should pay more attention during this period. Since you can attract Aidas to land next to you, maybe other gods will come to your door."
"I know, I'll call you when the time comes."
The reason why Idasi can be attracted to attack is because Li Chengqi, as the devil king god, has some connection with Idasi, the goddess of spring water, but there is no connection with other gods.
You can't possibly attract the Plague Goddess who was slapped twice by Li Chengqi and the Hundred-footed Lord who killed his followers...right?

Leaving the edge of the cliff with regret, the four of them took a short rest and set off again, continuing to move towards the aurora in the distance.
This walk lasted for seven or eight hours.
It was still early in the morning when we came in, and it must have been past lunch time now.
The four people who still hadn't seen the end of the aurora relied on dry food to meet their physiological needs. At this time, under the aurora, an irregular rock protrusion stood up from the snowfield created by the illusion.
When you get closer, you will see that its smooth and shiny surface cannot be caused by wind erosion.
It gives people an even more abrupt feeling. This protrusion looks completely out of place, as if it was inserted into the ground by some force rather than formed naturally. Continuing forward, about ten minutes later everyone arrived under this towering rock. It looked like a huge stone dagger, and the smooth rock on the outside had obvious traces of manual polishing.
The aurora that had been guiding Aldai forward also disappeared at this time, as if to say, you have found the right place.
"There is an entrance here, but it is very narrow and you can't see what the bottom is like."
Nemea pointed to the bottom of the rock. An irregular entrance that was probably less than two meters wide could be seen close to the ground.
Aldee moved closer and illuminated it with her magic light.
Directly above the entrance are carved patterns that look like characters.
Palin recognized it and said: "What kind of writing is this? I have never seen it before."
"It's an ancient language. There are no more than five people who can speak this language now. I can only barely understand it."
Aldai was not an expert in language. She could only understand the words "army, devil, seal, ring, god" and could not form a sentence at all.
However, it can also be seen from these three words that I have indeed found the right place.
The cave winds downwards, and due to the curvature, it is impossible to see how deep it is.
Several people took out the ropes they carried on their backs, tied them outside and pulled the ropes down little by little.
Of course, the one at the front was Nemea, who was exploring the path as a wanderer. Every time she climbed down and passed a bend, she would shake the rope to indicate that there was no problem.
In terms of physical sensation, everyone felt that they had descended about ten meters by rope, and then Nemea's voice came from below:
"Come down quickly, we may have found the ruins!"
The presence of ruins means treasure. No wonder Nemea's voice sounded a little happy.
The three people above also slid down one by one along the rope. The cave was dry and cold, but there was no snow field created by the illusion seen above.
Aldai straightened her robe and looked up to see a doorway with obvious artificial traces not far ahead. There were two statues on both sides of the door.
One statue appears to be a male warrior in armor, and the other appears to be a female mage holding a staff.
At first glance, there was nothing strange about the statues. Aldai could even tell that the two statues were once enchanted, but they were too old and the original enchantments had disappeared.
Everyone got closer, and Aldai used detection magic again.
The statues at the entrance to the ruins can provide a lot of information, such as the age of the ruins, the preferences of the owner of the ruins, and even some statues themselves have been cast with activation spells. When an intruder approaches, they will be punched down, etc.
As seen with the naked eye, there was indeed magic on the statue, but it has disappeared, and now it is just a simple statue.
Judging from the degree of decay of the statue, it can be determined that it should be from the mythological era. Many details are no longer clearly visible.
But Alday found something that cared about her.
Both statues have no horns on their heads.
Not all demons have horns on their heads, and neither Aldai nor Viola have them.
But demons like to have horns on their heads. Demons without horns will even buy special hairpins to wear on their heads.
Therefore, all statues built by demons basically have horns. Even for the full-body sculpture of the Demon King currently being built in the Leon Territory, it is clear that Li Chengqi has no horns, and horns are pressed on the stone statue. This is the habit of the demons.
So, here are two statues without horns...
"It reminds me of humans."
Aldai's words made the other three people look askance.
