The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 536 Obelisk

There are some ancient Nigerian characters carved on the stone pillars. Unfortunately, the knowledgeable Dr. Jia is not here, so everyone cannot decipher the information. Jiuhan takes out his mobile phone, takes a photo, and waits to study it when he goes back.

Everyone passed through the stone pillar gate, and in front of them was a ten-meter-wide walkway, which was two meters lower than the previous ground. On both sides were embankment-shaped slope platforms, with many stone statues the size of buses standing on the platforms.

Each stone statue is a combination of different human heads and different mammals. They have their feet together, crawling in the direction of the aisle, nodding slightly, staring in the direction below, like two rows of solemn and evil guards.

The middle walkway is about 100 meters long, with an upward staircase at the end and a rotten wooden boat next to it.

"This place may have been on the surface before." Gao Yang guessed: "This walkway is a small river. If you want to get to the other side, you have to ferry."

Everyone nodded and tried to imagine the scene.

The Gurni people sat end by end on the wooden boat, paddling the oars, and slowly walked to the other side. The stone statues on both sides of the river bank that were flush with the river surface lowered their heads and looked majestically at everyone crossing the river.

The six people walked through the dry river. In front of them was a city wall made of countless square boulders. The entire underground space was wrapped in darkness. The city wall created an illusion that no end could be seen from above, left, or right.

In the center of the city wall, there is a narrow passage less than two meters long, with no end visible at a glance.

It looks like a long and narrow rift split by a giant's axe.

Gao Yang confirmed that the system did not alarm and walked into the narrow passage first.

The companions followed in order.

Being in the long and narrow passage, Gao Yang felt very strange. There were thick city walls on both sides. When he looked up, he could only see a dark and oppressive gap.

This feeling is like having a nightmare, lost in a depressing and weird magical corridor.

"This place makes me very uncomfortable." As he walked, Hui Xiong put his hands on the rough wall, and his nails scraped against the wall making a weird "sizzling" sound.

"Stop doing it, it will make it even more uncomfortable." Manshe said in disgust.

"This underground space is much larger than imagined." Jiuhan was a little surprised: "And it's very real."

Douhu understood what Jiuhan meant: "Are you thinking that maybe the Gunni Kingdom in history really existed?"

Jiuhan nodded: "This is the ruins of the ancient Ni Kingdom. According to our speculation, the life of the mist world is only 100 years, and the past history is just fiction. In this case, why does Cangdao go to such trouble to create this Planting ruins?"

"That's right." Gray Xiong couldn't figure it out either: "It stands to reason that the triangular towers on the ground are already disguised realistic enough, so there is no need to hide such a large ruins underground. Who are you trying to show this to? Lost beasts don't need these things. , we awakened people have no chance to see it.”

Gao Yang also felt very contradictory, and it was indeed unnecessary.

"Think about this later." Douhu reminded: "Focus on the present."

Everyone ends the conversation, stays alert, and goes deeper.

A few minutes later, the six people finally walked out of the long narrow passage of the city wall and came to a place with a wide view.

Gao Yang mobilized his energy, raised the fireball in his hand, and threw it into the air. The fireball rose slowly like a small sun, bloomed with a "bang", and briefly illuminated the entire space.

Everyone saw clearly that they came to a huge circular square.

The square is shaped like a poached egg, and the egg white part outside, where the six of them are currently, is a "forest" composed of large stone pillars.

The yolk part inside is a wide and flat circular square. Due to the blocked view, everyone cannot see anything more, but it is obvious that the yolk part is the central area of ​​the entire underground space.

We walked through the stone pillar forest and felt like a flea walking on the scalp of animals.

Each stone pillar is carved with ancient texts and some abstract symbols.

Qing Ling and Hui Xiong walked in the middle, took out their mobile phones, and recorded some videos with the help of the firelight created by Gao Yang.After a while, everyone walked out of the Stone Pillar Forest and came to the central square.

Gao Yang repeated his old trick and threw a flare again.

This circular square is about the size of a football field. The only building is a black obelisk erected in the center, about three meters in diameter.

"Everyone, be careful." Gao Yang said softly, leading the way.

The six people came to the front of the obelisk, and the incendiary bombs above their heads had almost dissipated.

Gao Yang raised his toes, looked down, and found a channel of several centimeters beneath his feet, with a sticky brown grease substance still remaining in the channel.

Gao Yang thought for a moment, and a small flame appeared on the tip of his finger. With a slight hook, the flame fell into the channel.

"Wow————"

In an instant, the brown grease in the channel was ignited and turned into two lines of fire close to the ground. They spread rapidly. They continued to split and accelerate. Within three seconds, the flames outlined a magnificent totem on the circular square.

The entire square became extremely bright. Everyone stood among the burning totems and immediately recognized that it was the totem of the beast. The entire circular square was an altar.

For a moment, everyone's expressions darkened.

"Otherwise, we'd better retreat." Gray Xiong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has always enjoyed fighting and taking risks.

But fighting with no chance of winning seemed foolish to him, and there was no honor in dying.

"How to evacuate?" Man She poured a ladle of cold water on her: "Retrace your steps and crawl back through the quicksand?"

"You damn well know how to make sarcastic remarks!" Hui Xiong was very excited. He looked around and lowered his voice, "If a beast pops up later, I'll see if you can talk back."

"Old hero, relax." Dou Hu patted Hui Xiong on the shoulder: "It's naturally straight from the bridge to the bow."

"The boat has arrived at the bridge." Qing Ling corrected.

Douhu wanted to say something else, his eyes lit up.

He quickened his pace and came to Gao Yang: "Captain, did you find something?"

Gao Yang was already standing under the obelisk. There was an upright black sarcophagus embedded at the bottom of the obelisk, 3 meters high and 1.5 meters wide.

On the obelisk are ancient murals with dark colors and rough textures.

Gao Yang looked at the mural, his expression a bit ugly.

Douhu also stepped forward. He looked up and saw that the mural on the obelisk showed a white bird - needless to say, this must be a living animal.

The white bird's wings were twisted, as if broken, and its expression, if the head with only one eye could be called an expression, betrayed pain.

Its swollen, round belly had a crack from its belly button, and countless black filaments came out of it. These filaments looked like solidified blood, or some kind of evil black magic energy.

These black threads expanded outward and spread to the other stone wall of the obelisk.

Gao Yang and Dou Hu moved their steps and turned left, and the obelisk in front of them also began to rotate.

Soon, the two saw the second mural on the obelisk, which was indeed connected to the content of the first mural.
