1463 Grotto

There are still two days until the Tuyue day when the altar is officially opened.

The thick clouds that were constantly rolling and surging in the sky seemed to be pressed down in vain at the next moment, making all the sirens living on the lonely cliff feel solemn.

At this moment, the hurricane sea is also in its most violent period. The fierce sea wind blowing from the southwest encounters the monsoon from the north after bypassing the isolated cliff.

The violent collision and mutual entanglement caused violent waves on the ocean surface, and also caused the giant tornadoes that suddenly appeared from below the sea level to change their original trajectory, and swayed on the sea surface like a drunken man. go.

But it is rare to see the sea of ​​hurricanes in the sky, but starting from this afternoon, I could see a line of sky-like blue sky in vain, and the sunlight also slanted westward and reflected on the round hole on the top of the solitary cliff. There was finally a trace of natural light in the grotto hidden on the top of the mountain.

Raymond, who was invited here by Siren tribe elder Nania, stood at the corner of the entrance of the grotto. When he saw the ray of sunlight shining into the center of the altar, he was relieved.

Although according to the girl Becky, it would not be difficult for the Siren tribe to open the altar and establish a spatial passage to the underworld, Raymond, as the person involved, would still be a little nervous.

Because there is something wrong with Crystal's situation.

At first, he thought she was angry and escaped into a deep sleep inside the rusty badge. However, all the temptations he went through when Raymond was left out in the cliffside hut by the Siren tribe made him unable to continue. Stay calm.

Crystal as a pure spiritual body. Although he felt like he was sleeping inside the body, it was different from before.

Therefore, after Raymond sought help from the girl Becky to no avail, he could only place his hope on the changes in the environment after entering the underworld. So that Crystal's situation can change.

However, after Raymond was invited into the grotto where the altar was located, his expression remained calm and he did not show any eagerness or similar emotions.

"Lord Raymond, the conditions for the altar to be activated have been met, but it has been hundreds of years since the last time the clan members were transported to the underworld, so I invited you here in advance just to be on the safe side, but there are many taboos here. You must comply fully..."

Nania, the elder of the Siren clan, began to describe the rules that need to be followed in the grotto where the altar is located. Although she was introducing the rules in accordance with the requirements of the clan, her expression was helpless. And his thoughts were not on Raymond who was listening to her story.

Because some time ago, there was a huge quarrel within the clan over the formula of the scream potion. Even the clan leader was a little unable to suppress it, and she was the representative who led the clan's strong men to Black Coconut Island. I was also reprimanded many times.

But after listening to the story of Naniya, the elder of the Siren tribe, Raymond. But he noticed that she was in a daze, and after rearranging the previous rules and taboos, he spoke with some confusion. "Elder Narnia, what will be the consequences if there is no moonlight?"

"Consequences? What consequences..."

Elder Naniya, who was suddenly awakened, was still in a daze, but immediately she noticed that the eyes staring at her became sharper. Her shoulders shook and she finally woke up, and she quickly asked. "Lord Raymond, is there something unclear to you about what I just introduced?"

"This altar can only be opened on Earth Sunday. And it also needs moonlight to shine directly into the altar. So if there is no direct moonlight at that time, can the altar still be opened as scheduled?"

Raymond, who pointed at the round hole on the top of the grotto, became a little annoyed when he repeated his previous words.

"The climate of the Hurricane Sea has always been like this. If the dark clouds fail to disperse at the given moment, the clan elders will need to work together to cast spells to completely disperse the dark clouds within a radius of one kilometer. This will also solve the moonlight problem... …”

Speaking of this, Elder Naniya also understood that there must have been some omissions in her previous introduction, which led to the current doubts, so she quickly lowered her voice and apologized. "Sir Raymond, the offensive of mutants has been quite fierce during this period, and the tribesmen who went to Black Coconut Island have not been able to return yet, so even I have to go out on duty, so I am a little confused for a while. I hope you don't mind... …”

Elder Nania lowered her posture, leaving Raymond speechless. However, since he was not interested in participating in the affairs of the Siren clan, he would naturally not follow Elder Nania's topic and ask questions, even if Turned towards the altar.

The grotto he was in at this time was a natural cave on the top of a solitary cliff, but the walls were engraved with many symbols and patterns, and some totem-like artifacts also followed certain rules. The decorations were arranged to create a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.

On the very flat top of the grotto, a circular hole with a diameter of only a meter and a downward depression was artificially dug out. A natural crystal was embedded there, which can make the light of the sun and moon shine at a specific point. It can be reflected at all times.

The altar located in the center of the grotto has a simple and old shape. Although it seems to be the simplest and most ordinary star-shaped altar, it has been releasing a wave of energy before it was decorated by the Siren tribe's talisman masters. There is a depressing and dignified atmosphere, which is obviously very old and has huge energy accumulated inside.

Ten Talisman Masters of the Siren Tribe are currently repainting and painting the entire altar with Talisman Potions. After starting such seemingly simple work, Raymond realized that it was not simple.

The potion that repaints the lines on the surface of the altar will quickly penetrate into the interior after being applied, making the complicated lines on the surface of the altar round and soft, and also making the gloomy atmosphere that previously filled the grotto lessen. Slowly converge towards the inside of the altar.

Seeing that Raymond's attention was focused on the altar, the elder Nania, who frowned, handed over the black ore that she had taken out of her waist bag. "It's still early. This is the dark stone unique to the Nether Realm. If you cannot complete the established plan within two months, you will need to collect it in the Nether Realm. Otherwise, when you return, the altar will be unavailable. Wei then stopped functioning..."

Raymond took the dark stone, which was only about the size of his thumb. After careful observation, he discovered that the stone was sealed by some secret method, completely isolating the inside and outside, obviously to prevent changes caused by contact with the outside world.

Therefore, after asking the elder Nanea, Raymond lifted the seal and began to inspect the ore.

On the outside, it looked like a rough stone that had just been mined from a mine, but when Raymond used the chip and his own perception to conduct internal exploration, he noticed that there were fine holes like honeycombs inside the ore.

A certain kind of gasification energy, whether thick or thin, is attached to these holes. After the outside air flows into the inside, the gasification energy will be quickly neutralized, turning into a cold breath that quickly flows outward. Escape.

Seeing the condensation on the surface of the ore on Raymond's palm, Siren clan elder Naniya said with regret. "The quality of this dark stone is considered to be of the same level, and the amount required to maintain the space channel to the underworld is as much as twenty pieces per day, so it is best for you to obtain this stone as soon as possible after entering the underworld. Stone of Darkness to ensure what you need next time you go..."

After hearing this, Raymond's expression couldn't help but froze, and he immediately said to Naniya, the elder of the Siren clan. "Are you so sure that I won't be able to find the area where the Soul Sacrifice Fruit is located within two months?"

The stunned Siren clan elder Naniya didn't know how to answer for a moment, but a gentle voice came from the dark corner of the grotto. "Lord Raymond, you really can't find the location of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit within two months. Even if you can reach that mysterious area within a year, it can be called extremely lucky..."
