It was not until the afternoon of the next day that they found the valley of the southern peak after crossing the three peaks on the north side. The two of them followed the valley outside the east side of the peak and began to turn south to search.

On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at the entrance to the valley on the south side of the mountain. The two of them carefully entered the valley, advancing slowly while being alert to the surrounding movements.

The valley was filled with continuous bushes and sparse woods more than ten meters high. It was very quiet, with the occasional sound of birdsong. The valley was about three kilometers long, and they soon crossed the valley.

At this time, there was a mountainous area composed of several peaks to the south of them, and behind the platform peak to the north. They found that the mountain behind the platform was very strange: the mountain was very long, enclosed on three sides, and opened on the south side.

, which is where they are now.

The shrubs and sparse woods at the feet extend to the foot of the northern peak. The terrain of the peak facing the south is connected by two peaks. In front of it is a shorter peak facing south, and behind it is a very high peak.

The higher one should be the mountain peak where the platform is located.

They stopped to rest for a while. Kate took out the telescope to observe the terrain. Steven stood under a tree and also observed the two peaks one behind the other in the distance. His eyes moved from the peak on the right to the middle and then back again.

To the farthest point to the west.

Suddenly, Steven felt that something was wrong. He was a little confused: What was the problem? He observed it again, and his eyes stayed on the shorter mountain nearby, which is here!

Steven said to Kate: "Kate, I think there is something wrong with the mountain in the middle! It is too neat! Although it is also full of shrubs and trees, don't you think it is neat? It's like a huge pyramid that has been flattened.

That part of the spire."

Kate took off the telescope, observed it carefully for a while, and said: "It is indeed like this! This relatively short mountain peak should be a relic! It has been covered with trees and shrubs for tens of thousands of years. If you don't pay attention, you can still see it.

Thought it was a mountain!"

Steven was a little shocked: "If this was an artificial building, wouldn't it be too grand?! Its height is probably two hundred meters! Its ground width is wider. To build such a building, you can imagine the amount of work required.

How huge!”

Kate also said: "This ruins is much more magnificent than the ones that have been discovered on the mainland! I never expected that there would be such a huge ancient ruins in the dark rainforest!"

The two discussed it on the spot and decided to retreat to the valley they came in for the time being, find a secluded place to camp there, and spend two days tomorrow to investigate the terrain and environment around the ruins, and also look for the entrance to the ruins.

One night later, they started to search and investigate this mountain plain according to yesterday's plan. Starting from the valley where they came in, this long mountain peak surrounded on three sides and several mountains to the south formed a rather large area.

The plain comes out, covering an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers. The terrain in the plain is flat, covered with shrubs and sparse woods, and the trees are not too high. There is a small river in the plain, which flows diagonally along the terrain from the east side of the highest peak in the middle to the west.

In the valley on the side.

The two planned to search the east side first, all the way to the east side of the ruins, and then return to yesterday's camp to rest.

Tomorrow, they will search the other side. They moved forward in staggered positions, paying attention to the surrounding movements, and at the same time, they were ready to fight at any time.

The morning passed quickly, and they didn't find any valuable targets. Then the two of them had something to eat and continued moving forward. In the afternoon, they came to the pyramid, stood here and looked up, and then they felt the majesty of this ruins.

!

This pyramid is in the shape of a four-sided pyramid with no spire on the top. The height is about 200 meters and the width is about 400 meters. Although the tower is covered with trees and shrubs, it can still be seen that it is composed of steps several meters high.

The steps should be made of granite. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it is covered with soil and plants grow lushly.

They did not find an obvious entrance near the foot of the east side of the pyramid, so they walked along the east side of the pyramid toward the peak behind it. When they came to the foot of the natural mountain in the north, they found the ruins of the pyramid.

Part of the lower part of the north face penetrates into the rock mass of the mountain peak.

And there is a stone embankment in the middle of the pyramid connecting the natural peaks in the north. The stone embankment is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The total height is about more than 100 meters. The width of the stone embankment cannot be seen here, but if it is symmetrical, it is estimated that the width

About 50 meters away, they also speculated that the hole behind the rock platform where the monster appeared leads directly to this stone embankment! And it is connected to the interior of the pyramid through this stone embankment.

It was already time for them to return, and they happened to have found out the situation on this side, so they turned around and walked back, preparing to explore the other side of the pyramid tomorrow after resting tonight.

Not far away, Steven stopped and raised his hands to signal that something was going on. At this time, he sensed that three very sensitive creatures were approaching him and Kate from two directions and had locked onto them.

Steven made another gesture while standing still. Kate took off the hunting bow on her back, took out a poison arrow, and stringed it up to prepare for battle. Steven gently put down his backpack and pulled out the machete.

Those creatures seemed to realize that their prey had discovered them and planned to resist, so they walked out of the trees without hiding. Two walked out from the side of Steven, and one walked out from Kate's side: It turns out

It's three rainforest ringed leopards.

They slowly came around the two of them and surrounded them, spinning slowly in circles a few meters away, growling lowly at the same time, ready to pounce at any time. Steven carefully observed these ringed leopards, their bodies

Very strong, full of power, and agile in movement. Their brown fur is covered with black ring stripes. They are the top predators in the Saiman Rainforest. They are also found in the dark rainforest, but they usually hunt alone. Today, we actually met them.

Got three!

At this time, the three ringed leopards seemed to have lost their patience. With a sharp roar, the three ringed leopards flew towards the two of them!

When Kate's body just rushed out, the poisonous arrow shot by Kate had already come to it. This ringed leopard was very agile after all. It had time to turn its head to avoid the arrow, but its shoulders could not.

Avoid being poisoned arrows penetrated through the fur and inserted into the flesh!

Kate jumped to the right to avoid its attack. At the same time, Steven behind Kate also quickly twisted in the direction of Kate's dodge, kicked off the ground with his feet, and jumped in the air like a fish swimming in the water.

After walking a few meters, he stretched out his left hand and pushed it on the ground before turning over and standing next to Kate!

At this moment, the two of them got rid of the three leopards and formed a confrontation between the two sides.

The three leopards found that the situation was a bit unfavorable, so they separated to both sides and tried to form an encirclement again. However, the leopard with the arrow on the left just took a few steps sideways and fell to the ground and started twitching!

It turned out that the arrow coated with poison dart frog venom was inserted into its body, and the poison took effect in just a moment! The remaining two hesitated a little when they saw this situation, and they began to retreat slowly while roaring, as if

I know that these two prey are not easy to mess with. If not handled well, they will become prey themselves!

They retreated a few meters, then quickly turned around and jumped out in two directions, and they actually escaped like this!

Steven already held the hand ax in his left hand. He raised the hand ax and threw it at the escaping leopard on the left. The hand ax was like a bullet and it was impossible to see the trajectory. The one who had just ran a few steps away

The hand ax was deeply embedded under the ringed leopard's left shoulder, and blood spattered!
Chapter completed!
