Chapter 687: The Gate of Oblivion

Under the light that penetrated the narrow cracks in the rock layer, everyone could see the hazy scene in the space as if covered by a layer of gauze. Almost everyone was attracted by the magnificent scene at the first time.

It was a giant stone door with a height of hundreds of yards and a width of dozens of yards on both sides. It almost occupied the entire rock wall, revealing a breath of ancient times.

On the stone door, there were relief patterns made by unimaginable technology, which were symmetrical on both sides. There were many patterns and patterns on it that made people feel familiar but difficult to understand.

But two of them were very clear patterns that caught Lance's attention.

One was that on the left and right sides of the giant door, there were several exaggerated tentacles of different lengths extending out and clinging on them.

If this was not clear enough, then the most obvious disc pattern on the center of the giant door.

There was a circle on the outside, and there was a spherical protrusion in the middle. From the circle, dense tentacles extended to the sphere in the middle.

This pattern was like a lightning piercing his brain.

Even at the moment of seeing it, Lance couldn't help trembling, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.

This was not because he was afraid, but because he was excited and excited.

That's right, isn't that disc pattern the incomplete relief pattern he found in the bay? It's just shrunk by who knows how many times.

Adding the tentacle pattern, it is almost certain that this is also a part of the creation left by the ancient civilization.

This is also consistent with the discovery of the passage just now. Under the old house is part of the bay.

And the ancestor probably discovered this ancient giant door and dug a road from the old house to here, instead of building here.

Lance calmed down a little and looked at the surroundings. The familiar karst environment was a distance away from the giant door, and there was a step to get on the platform.

Looking up, he felt that the cracks were artificial for lighting. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in this place that is unknown how deep underground.

But none of this matters. Lance's footsteps cannot stop here.

"Let's go!"

With an excited shout, Lance immediately raised the torch and walked up, and the other people also reacted from the shock and followed quickly.

There was no other way. In such a strange place, if they fell behind, they would be under great pressure. Lance became their psychological pillar.

"Boss, what is this?"

Boudica's question also raised the doubts of the other two.

Amanda was born in an organization and had traveled all over the country for many years, but she had never found any information related to this place.

Originally, she understood that the underground that Lance mentioned should be an underground maze like the beast cave, after all, it was said before that the cultists used it for activities.

But she never expected it to be such a scene...

And Audrey, a tomb robber who changed her career, was even more so. It was the first time she had seen such a magnificent underground creation.

In comparison, the tomb she had gone down before was just a small fight. No matter how many or how gorgeous the burial objects were, they were not worth mentioning.

Is this a real adventure?

But Lance's explanation of this was very vague.

"The old house is the headquarters of the cult of the Ascension Sect. In fact, their lair is here. Everyone, pay attention and continue to look for suspicious clues."

The less they know about some things, the better it is for them. Moreover, he couldn't figure out the complicated relationship between the ancestor and this place. He just knew that he had to get rid of that thing.

It seemed that the steps were right in front of him, but that was the sensory gap magnified by the space. In fact, he walked a distance before stepping on the multiple steps and climbing onto the huge platform.

Amanda didn't even want to get close to the rock wall. The solemnity on her face had not been removed since she came in.

She took out the black crystal ball in her hand and dared to look up at the pattern. She murmured: "There is no doubt that this is a ritual that seals something. It seems to be very old and makes people feel uneasy..."

Her limited knowledge of mysticism helped her make a rough judgment. To fully understand this complex ancient ritual, even a genius like the ancestor spent a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, the ancestor left some clues, which gave Lance a shortcut.

Everyone actually noticed that there was a strange object in the middle of the platform in front of the arch relief, a strange and twisted altar.

It seemed to be made of a dark gray stone sculpture, and the base looked like a raised decorative flower bed, which was quite common in old houses or other places.

However, what extended out of the plate was not a sacred statue or a vase, but two twisted and weird tentacles, forming a hook shape.

"The altar dedicated to the evil old gods, perhaps the powerful power lies in it."

Amanda came closer and carefully observed the altar, speaking roughly her understanding, which was her job as a consultant.

But Lance seemed to know more than her and continued to supplement.

"It seems that this is the key to open the door to the next road. According to the ritual custom of the Ascension Sect, to complete the altar ritual, we need some kind of liquid full of extraordinary power."

"I think it's blood, right?" Boudica muttered, "If I had known, I would have left a cultist. Where can I find a sacrifice now?"

The blood sacrifice common in the barbarian tribes did not surprise Boudica at all, but just as she said, where can I find a sacrifice now?

Amanda did not speak, but her eyes could not help but look at Audrey...

When their eyes fell on her, Audrey felt uneasy. They were all familiar people, and she was the only one who joined temporarily.

"What do you want to do?"

Audrey grabbed the pickaxe and took a half step back, ready to use Shadow Escape to escape from this place at any time.

But at this time, Lance's laughter came.

"Stop it, I have a sacrifice here."

Lance took out a bottle of strange potion and indicated that this was the "holy water" produced by Hamlet. It was a liquid with rich extraordinary power. Drinking it during the test could improve the overall state for a certain period of time.

It was condensed from the experimental waste digested by the [Deep Sea Pearl], and the negative effects were removed by herbs. Finally, it was separated into a liquid as pure as clear water.

In theory, it should be fine after so many steps of refining, but Lance, who knew the source, couldn't drink this stuff at all. He brought it with him for others, and it was just right to use it now.

There was no intention of talking nonsense. Lance opened the bottle cap and poured it directly on the tentacles of the altar.

The liquid flowed through the tentacles and then gathered in the plate underground.

However, there was no reaction until the whole bottle was poured out. Lance thought it was not enough and was about to take out the second bottle. At this time, the movement of the altar appeared.

The position of the tentacles stained with holy water began to turn blood red, as if what was poured just now was not holy water but blood.

The clear holy water that fell into the basin also began to turn red, and what was even more weird was that the amount of water in the original bottle was now the blood-colored liquid in the basin. It kept rising and even overflowed directly.

This situation made Lance a little confused, but soon things got out of his control.

Because the overflowing blood-colored liquid fell into the ground and soaked a complex and strange ritual pattern, it was only then discovered by everyone.

This complex ritual was beyond Lance's ability, and he could only wait for Amanda to interpret it.

It was just that the liquid spread faster than they imagined, and when the liquid was connected into a piece, a force broke out.

Everyone had completely ignored the old god altar that had calmed down and only blood drops were left.

Their attention was completely focused on the huge door that opened slowly with a huge noise, stirring up dust like an earthquake, and countless pieces of rubble fell.

But soon the noise stopped, leaving only a narrow crack, but that was only in view of the huge scale. In fact, it was enough for one person to pass through.

It was unclear what was behind the door. When it opened, only a strong red light shone through the crack, revealing an indescribable weird atmosphere.

"We disturbed something evil!"

Lance seemed to be attracted by some kind of power, staring at the crack covered by the red light.

"Let's go."

Being pulled back to reality by Amanda's warning, he took the initiative to walk into the crack without much nonsense. Although others were a little uneasy, they could only be forced to follow.

The moment they stepped into the crack, the red light enveloped the team and disappeared as if it had swallowed them.

And Lance instantly felt that stepping into it was not a normal state at all. The strong dizziness and nausea, as well as the feeling of weightlessness reminded him of being dragged into the void by the limp walker.

When they felt the ground, they didn't have time to react, and their subconscious breath rushed to their brains with a smell of blood.

The strange power undoubtedly enveloped them, and everyone was affected to varying degrees at the first time.

"It's a portal!"

"Damn it! Why didn't you say it earlier? What the hell is this place!"

Amanda spoke, and Audrey's scolding followed. Neither of the two guys was willing to give in, and they almost fought.

"Shut up! Calm down." Lance also shouted in annoyance, and stopped their chaos in an instant.

But it can be seen that both sides' faces revealed obvious violent aura, and their eyes were occupied by bloodshot, which was completely a killing state, but they only inhaled a few mouthfuls of blood mist at most. This place is so terrifying!

On the contrary, Boudica often enters a violent state because of her equipment, but has some resistance, but her expression is also tense, holding the axe with both hands, showing a posture ready to attack at any time.

I'm afraid she didn't realize that the tense muscles subconsciously exerted force, which was against her instinct.

Lance realized that the situation could not be like this, and quickly raised his hand and blessed them to eliminate the negative state on them. At the same time, he took out holy water and distributed it to several people, urging them: "Drink this quickly."

They came back to their senses a little bit, and although they didn't know why the lord did this, they still drank a bottle of potion.

The power of the deep sea nourished their bodies and made them more resistant to the influence of the outside world.

They would not understand what I said just now, and now that they saw their eyes were clear, they reminded them at this time.

"You are all affected by the power here. Be alert to any abnormal movement in your heart. Don't be corrupted. If you notice something unusual, you must speak out."

At this time, the two people who calmed down also reacted and began to notice the sudden burst of emotions. They couldn't help but be shocked, but neither of them was willing to bow their heads, so that was it.

Lance also suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then noticed the extinguished torch in his hand. The flame on it seemed to be extinguished by an unknown force the moment he came in.

Put it away casually, because there is no need for that thing here. It is strange that there is no obvious light source, but it gives everyone a clear view, but it looks like it has a blood filter.

Looking back, it was an extremely empty "big flat", but the red blood mist could be seen everywhere in the dungeon, making it difficult to see very far. Only the passages and platforms connecting it could be vaguely seen.

What can be seen is thick stone pillars with sharp edges and corners standing in the dungeon through the blood mist. There are some unclear things hanging on the six-prism pillars.

The upper and lower ends were hidden in the blood mist, and all that could be seen was blood flowing inside, but no one doubted that they had supported this independent "world".

At both ends of the road are extremely ostentatious and terrifying rock sculptures. A large number of skeleton faces with stripped flesh and blood are used as the main body, often with exaggerated movements of opening the jaws, and blood flowing from them.

This advanced sculpture seems to be full of vitality, giving people the impression of a skull filled with blood and screaming.

On both sides of the road is a spike standing up like a railing. When you get closer, you will find that beyond the spike is blood flowing in the crevices of the rock.

It even gives people a fresh feeling, like blood vessels, and one can't help but suspect that the blood drawn from the Old God Altar just now is connected here.

A strange space shrouded in blood, with all kinds of weirdness showing the evil here.

It was okay not to look at it. After carefully observing the surrounding environment, except for Lance, the others fell directly into collapse.

"No! My cards tell us..."

Amanda's voice was trembling, and in her hand was a card drawn from subconscious divination, but the result didn't seem optimistic.

"Come on, you can go anywhere, as long as you leave here, otherwise this will become our tomb!"

Audrey regretted so much that she should not have committed a suicide provocation. Now that she was dragged here, the so-called excitement turned into fear and despair at this moment.

"Are we in hell..."

Boudica's nervous expression and heavy breathing already indicated something. After all, in the world made of blood and black iron, only the description of hell fits this place.

The only "normal" Lance was truly abnormal, because when faced with such a strange scene, he not only had no fear, but instead felt a strange joy.

Finally...I finally came here...

All the hardships along the way have paid off, and at this moment Lance's will is being tested...

ecstasy!
