Chapter 945 The Second Altar
"Friend Daoist Li, what did you find out?" Seeing this, Shi Chuankong hurriedly asked.
"There are indeed some discoveries, follow me." Han Li nodded and quickened his pace.
About a quarter of an hour later, the two stopped one after the other, and looked forward at the same time.
At the end of the desert as far as the eye can see, a huge river suddenly appeared.
The river is quite magnificent, with a width of more than ten miles, and the water in it is also red in color, rolling up countless waves, rumbling forward.
Han Li walked to the river and tested the red river water a little.
A scorching force filled the red river water, as if magma was flowing, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"Unexpectedly, there is a river in the desert... I think it's better for us to go downstream along the river. The strangeness of this river must be strange in the downstream." Shi Chuankong said after pondering for a while.
"That's exactly what I mean." Han Li nodded.
The two immediately changed direction and moved downstream along the red river. After walking for four or five days, they soon discovered that a huge oasis appeared in front of them.
Although it is an oasis, most of the plants on it are red in color, and the rest are all white.
The vegetation in the oasis is tall and dense, red and white, which looks quite gorgeous.
When the two saw the oasis, although they were quite happy, they were not impulsive. After looking at each other, they restrained their breath, boarded the oasis, and headed inside.
"Fellow Daoist Li, look!" The two of them walked in for a certain distance, Shi Chuankong suddenly called to Han Li, and pointed to the dense jungle ahead.
Han Li looked over and saw a footprint in the jungle. It looked relatively new, and it should have been left not long ago.
"It seems that someone came here before us. I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend. Be careful." Han Li said through voice transmission.
Shi Chuankong nodded his head.
The two continued to move forward while paying attention to their feet. As a result, the further they went, the more similar footprints they found.
Judging from the number of footprints, it should be a group of people who entered here first, and the number of people is estimated to be four.
The two quickly passed through the dense jungle, and the scenery ahead suddenly opened up, with a huge city sitting in front of them.
There are buildings standing in the city, with spiked roofs, like giant swords piercing the sky, and the whole body is crimson.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong looked at each other, then moved forward quietly, entering through the half-open city gate.
The buildings in the city are also somewhat decayed, but they are much better than the previous ruins, and most of the main buildings remain intact.
The two searched the buildings near the city gate. Many buildings here were also empty, and they could see traces of being rummaged by people. It should be the work of the group in front, but nothing was found.
"It's really strange. Didn't you say that there are countless treasures in the Great Ruins? It's been a while since we entered here, and apart from two star artifacts, we haven't found any treasures at all." Shi Chuankong said through voice transmission somewhat unwillingly.
"It's not a small gain to get one or two star artifacts. Let's go, this place has been searched by the group in front, and it is estimated that there will be nothing left. Let's go directly to the center of the city to have a look. I found something there, but be careful." Han Li replied with a voice transmission with a smile.
Shi Chuankong was shocked when he heard the words, and agreed.
The two dived towards the city, the city was not big, they soon reached the center, and their expressions changed at the same time.
I saw a large square in the center of the city, where a huge altar stood.
The entire body of this altar is also crimson, but just looking at the appearance, it is very similar to the silver-gray altar encountered in the ruins earlier.
A plaque hung at the entrance of the altar, with the three big characters "Youming Palace" written in black script on it.
"This altar looks very similar to the previous altar. There should be some good things inside. Shall we go in and have a look?" The two hid in a building near the entrance of the altar, looking at the open door of the altar. Some sound transmissions eager to try said.
"Then go in and have a look. However, I didn't meet the group of people in front of me on the way here. I think they might have entered here at the moment. I still say the same thing as before, be careful." Han Li looked at the altar in front of him. , Wei Yi said after pondering.
"Don't worry, I will be careful." Shi Chuankong said while patting his chest.
"Let's go." Han Li glanced at his chest and said through voice transmission.
The two figures swept out of the building in a flash, turned into two blue smoke, and submerged into the entrance of the altar with a flash.
Not long after the two entered the entrance of the altar, white light flickered on the ground of the entrance, and an oval pattern emerged.
This elliptical pattern is surprisingly composed of eight star runes, each of which is extremely complicated, far above those star runes that Han Li learned from Mrs. Liuhua.
The ellipse pattern slowly lit up, and white lights emerged from it, converging towards the center, forming a white vertical stripe, coupled with the outer elliptical frame, it looked like an eye.
The white vertical lines trembled a few times, as if they had glanced into the depths of the entrance, and soon dimmed and disappeared.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong didn't know anything about the situation behind them. After entering the entrance gate, they headed towards the depths.
Behind the entrance of the altar is a passage hundreds of feet long. The passage is the same as the previous silver-gray altar. The walls are covered with formations, and there is a force of restraint everywhere, imprisoning the power of divine consciousness.
It's just that the restraining power here is slightly weaker than that of the silver-gray altar, and Han Li's spiritual consciousness can barely leave the body for about two or three feet.
The two walked through the corridor carefully, and a huge hall with the size of a thousand feet appeared in front of them.
The light in the hall here is quite bright, and there is nothing there, but there are square holes several feet high on the four walls, there are as many as two or three hundred, but the inside is empty.
And the things inside, lying on the floor of the hall at the moment, are red puppets, all of which look like human figures, and have been dismantled to pieces.
The ground was a mess of potholes, full of traces of fighting.
This red puppet has all internal organs, and a large piece of silver mucus gushed out from its remnant body and flowed all over the ground. It was the same as the black ape puppet Han Li encountered at the beginning.
This is not the case with the wolf puppets and tiger-headed puppets that have fought before. There are no internal organs in their bodies, and they are just bodies made of rough materials.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's thoughts turned in his mind, and he had a vague understanding of the puppets in the Great Ruins.
He casually picked up a fragment of a puppet, looked at it carefully, and his eyes flickered.
This puppet fragment seems to be made of fire jade. Although it is a fragment at this moment, it is still flashing bursts of fiery red crystal light. It looks very spiritual, and its quality is extremely extraordinary. It is far superior to the material used by the black ape puppet. Fear is also on top of it.
Fortunately, these puppets have been destroyed by the people in front, otherwise he would find it difficult to be besieged by dozens of such puppets.
But think a little further, those people in front can get rid of these puppets, their strength must be no small matter.
"It's dangerous here, so be careful." Han Li said slowly with a flash of his eyes.
Shi Chuongkong seemed to understand the message conveyed by the scene in front of him, and nodded solemnly.
The two didn't stay here for long, and walked towards the depths of the giant hall.
Beyond the great hall was a door, and behind the door was a dimly lit passage leading further into the depths.
While walking, Han Li looked at the pieces of puppets all around him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The puppets here were dismantled too fragmentarily, it didn't look like they were made in a fierce battle, but rather like someone was looking for something in these puppets, and after the war, they chopped up the puppets one by one to make it what it is now.
Is there something inside these puppets that is worth all the effort to find?
The two quickly passed through the hall and entered the passage behind.
Han Li shook his head immediately, collected his mind, stopped thinking about other things, and walked carefully along the passage, while concentrating on investigating the surrounding situation.
The passage is not a straight road, it is curved, and the terrain is constantly sinking.
After turning a corner, three identical forks suddenly appeared ahead.
The light in the three forked roads ahead is also quite dim, and it is not far to see.
Shi Chuan turned around and looked at Han Li without saying a word, but his gaze was clearly asking, "Which way to go?"
Han Li glanced over the three forked roads, and soon stopped on the ground of the middle passage.
Although it is extremely blurry, a few footprints can be seen here, leading to the depths.
The two passages next to it were clean, and there were no traces of anyone walking by.
"Let's walk on both sides. The passage in the middle is where the group of people in front walked. Even if there are good things, they will definitely take them away. Maybe you can gain something by walking on both sides." Han Liwei said after a moment of thought.
Shi Chuankong thought for a while, but didn't object.
The two discussed briefly and stepped into the passage on the right.
The passage is quite spacious, enough for four or five people to walk side by side. The deeper you go, the area of the passage faintly shows signs of becoming larger.
Wisps of white light leaked from the stone cracks in the passageway, and the light was brighter than at the beginning.
As a result, the two of them didn't go far, when a sharp howl suddenly came from the front.
Han Li and Shi Chuankong's expressions changed slightly, and they stopped immediately.
Before the two of them could sit down, a white shadow flashed in front of them, and a man in white rushed towards him like an electric shock. He was holding a white lightsaber. At this moment, it turned into a flash of cold light and stabbed straight at the chest of Han Li who was walking in front.
This sword was as fast as lightning, and Han Li couldn't help being startled. He hurriedly made a wrong step, and dodged it sideways.
At the same time, there was a flash of white light in his hand, and the white scimitar was already added. With a single swing, it turned into a thunderous knife light, and cut at the chest of the man in white at the moment when the two people's figures intersected.
A strange scene appeared!
The light of the saber pierced through the body of the man in white, as if cutting through the air, without any feeling of force.
Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn't help but let out a sigh.
The white-clothed man's rapid figure did not change at all, and he rushed straight to Shi Chuankong behind him, and the lightsaber in his hand turned into a cold light again, piercing his chest.
Shi Chuankong was startled at first, but his reaction was not slow, his body hurriedly dodged to the side, narrowly dodging the sword.
The white-clothed man was extremely fast, and his resilience seemed to be a bit weak. After the attack on Han Li and the two of them missed, he rushed forward for a certain distance, and then stopped.
But he turned around immediately and rushed towards the two of them again.
