Chapter 181 180. Song of the Soul
If he had not intervened, Sun Hang and others would most likely have fallen into this hole and been guided to unknown depths.
"The guidance...is the vision caused by the fragments?"
From this point of view, it is very likely that Sun Hang and others saw the fragments in the simulated history, so that they were hunted down by the cult, and finally died tragically in the cave.
"Brother Su, what's in front of you?" Wei Qiang held up his gun and covered Su Hong from behind.
"I don't know, it seems to be a palace."
At the end of Shadow Perception, there stood a bronze gate.
Whenever he wanted to spread his perception inside, the shadow would be swallowed up by a mysterious force.
"It seems that only by going there in person can you know what is behind the bronze door."
There were many disaster monsters in this hollow passage. Wei Qiang was right not to act rashly, otherwise Wei Qiang would really get into the belly of the disaster monster before he came over.
Su Hong pretended to move forward cautiously, foreseeing the disaster monster's attack in advance, and "with difficulty" defeated several disaster monsters entrenched in the cave with Wei Qiang.
Wei Qiang used a knife to cut out the monster's disastrous eyeball, and exhaled, "This thing is really tough, but luckily there are two of us."
Su Hong raised the submachine gun in his hand, "We don't have enough bullets. Use them sparingly. We don't know what's ahead."
The two continued to move forward, and soon came to the end of Su Hong's perception - the bronze gate.
Wei Qiang looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The entire bronze gate is twenty meters high. It seems to be made of a complete piece of bronze. The surface is carved with intricate patterns like hollows. Flowing cloud patterns symbolizing flames appear from time to time, making the bronze gate extraordinary.
"So...so big." Wei Qiang couldn't help but said: "Is such a high door meant for giants to pass through?"
"Brother, give me your hand and see if you can push it away."
"The two of us?" Wei Qiang pointed at Su Hong and then at himself, "Brother Su, are you serious?"
The two of them were like two ants in front of this huge bronze door. It would be too whimsical to push the door.
Su Hong shrugged, "There's no other way anyway, right?"
"That's true."
Wei Qiang came to the other side of the door, and together with Su Hong, they pressed their palms on the door and pushed hard.
"Let me... open it!"
Wei Qiang suppressed his blush, but the door didn't move at all.
Su Hong's consciousness shifted slightly. Where Wei Qiang couldn't see, a shadow climbed up the door, covering up the lines.
He exerted a little force, and the door opened automatically with a heavy sound.
"boom!!!"
"Really opened?!" Wei Qiang quickly stepped aside.
The door slowly opened, and the weak flames in the fire altar in the center of the palace suddenly surged and burned brightly, illuminating the dark palace hall.
Su Hong and Wei Qiang looked inside together. On both sides of the palace hall, huge skeletons lay on the ground, shaped like human bones.
The inferior iron armor on the giant's skeleton was rusty and black, and black rust filled the air, making people cough.
Looking at the fire altar in the center, there were skeletons lying on the ground all around, including those of humans and other creatures.
This place is not a palace, it is clearly a tomb.
"What place is this?" Wei Qiang murmured with shock on his face.
Su Hong was also very curious. As he walked forward, the nameless flames in the fire altar danced, and suddenly a childish voice came out.
"people……?"
Wei Qiang was startled, "Did the flame speak?"
"Are you...human?"
Su Hong thought for a while and said, "Yes, Miss Flame, how should we get out of here?"
Flame said slowly in a childish voice: "Jump...jump in here. Those who have a bright heart will naturally find a way out."
"Jump into the flames?"
Su Hong looked thoughtful. He always felt as if he had seen this kind of flame somewhere. "I'll come..."
Just as he was about to agree, Wei Qiang stopped him.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Su, let me do it. I have some firepower. Maybe I can hold on for a while."
Su Hong felt funny, "Brother Wei, aren't you afraid of death?"
The man seemed to have come to his senses, "One of you and I must get out alive."
"Brother, I don't have much ability, and I haven't achieved anything famous in my life. You are different, you are still young."
"Xiaomei really asks you to take care of her. Don't let the people in the shelter bully her."
Wei Qiang left his back and walked to the fire altar.
He lingered in front of the fire altar for a while, which was enough to show how much he was struggling in his heart.
Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and shouted: "Brother Su, don't cuckold me!"
With that, he jumped into the flames.
Su Hong watched this scene quietly and did not stop Wei Qiang from setting himself on fire.
In the raging fire, Wei Qiang's figure became increasingly blurry, but he was not burned by the flames. Instead, he seemed to be facing some kind of magical transformation.
"Sure enough..." Su Hong pondered, he seemed not surprised by this scene.
A few minutes later, Wei Qiang gradually regained consciousness. He walked out of the flames and stroked his body in disbelief.
"Am I okay?"
"My ability seems to be..."
He snapped his fingers and a wisp of fire ignited, then left his body and ignited the bones, burning them up.
"Getting stronger?!"
The flames beat and made a childish voice, "Those whose hearts are open to the light should receive gifts."
"But you're not good enough to see the way out."
Wei Qiang stepped down from the fire altar and said, "Brother Su, why don't you give it a try? This thing doesn't seem to have any harmful intentions."
"good."
Su Hong nodded, walked onto the fire altar, and stepped into the flames.
The flame was very warm and not as dangerous as it seemed. Gradually, the light of the fire blurred his vision. In the change of flame, an elf bathed in flame appeared in front of him.
"Blessed one, welcome to the world of fire."
The elf clasped his hands together as if praying for him.
"Your companion is a trustworthy person, please rest assured."
Su Hong stretched out his hand to catch the spirit in the flames, "Are you the Holy Spirit?"
The Holy Spirit of Flame whispered: "My name is Freida. Pray to me and you will get the response of the flame."
"I was once a child of the Tree of the Sun. After the flame of the sun was extinguished, the Holy Spirit wandered around the world, and I also came to the human kingdom."
Su Hong looked like this.
He had seen the Holy Spirit of Fire when he obtained the Eye of the Candle.
He recognized Freida's identity from the beginning, so he didn't stop Wei Qiang from jumping into the flames.
Freida mourned in a low voice, "The world has declined and the flames no longer exist. I can only lead all kinds of creatures to the kingdom of giants to seek help from the giant king."
"However, the King of Giants could not escape the erosion of disaster. The kingdom of giants fell into the mire and giant insects, and all things were destroyed."
"I traveled through the long years, alone, and finally waited for you."
Su Hong was a little confused, "With your ability, you can leave here directly, why do you have to wait for me to come over."
Freida held the jet-black sword in her hand and raised it above her head, "This is the song of the soul, the last relic of the Paladin. I am waiting for the person who can inherit it."
