"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" There was a sound of water coming from the front. At first we didn't know what it was, but we soon understood. In a calm water surface, there was a large school of fish, which kept jumping out of the water.
The sound is made by them.
The appearance of these fish is very strange. They look like mandarin fish, with a row of barbs on their backs, but their heads are round, much larger than their bodies, and their mouths are also very large in proportion. When they open their mouths, they reveal a mouth full of forest.
Long white teeth.
"These fish are carnivorous creatures. Damn, luckily we didn't swim over by ourselves, otherwise we would have been in big trouble." The fat man said with lingering fear.
This is indeed the case. These carnivorous creatures that live in groups are generally very aggressive. If we encounter them, we are likely to be attacked by them. Sure enough, when the giant python swims around the school of fish, those fish
They all gathered around us, opening their mouths wide and showing their sharp teeth, staring at us eagerly.
But they did not pounce, because at this time, the old king salamander who was sitting on the top of the giant python let out a series of strange neighing sounds. Following the giant python's body, great changes took place, and the salamanders all started to scream.
Revealing its claws and equally sharp fangs, the smooth python suddenly turned into a long hedgehog.
The fish suddenly became confused as if they had suddenly seen an extremely terrifying monster, and then scrambled to escape to the outside. In just a few minutes, the place became silent and no fish could be seen.
Several of us looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh knowingly. There is no doubt that these carnivorous fish schools are the most dangerous thing in this water area, more dangerous than the giant dragon. After all, there is only one giant dragon, and they can
They are everywhere. If the five of us encountered them in the water, we might not even be able to escape.
"It's true that one thing brings another thing down. Fortunately, we sold these little guys a huge favor, otherwise it would be really difficult to handle."
At this time, a huge shadow vaguely appeared in the deep water. When I looked closer, I realized that it was an island in the water. Its area was not particularly large, only a few hundred meters in diameter, but its top was flat.
, we vaguely saw several huge pillars above the top, we don’t know what they were made of, and below we could see a square object, which should be a platform, and those pillars were on the platform.
Have we arrived? Everyone seemed a little excited. The island is obviously the center of the entire body of water, and the platform above is obviously the most important place here.
The salamander took us deeper, and soon the island appeared completely clearly in front of us. The island seemed to have been cut in half. The top was very flat, and the top was indeed a huge stone.
From a visual inspection, the stone platform is about twenty meters high, with a side length of at least a hundred meters. There is a huge pillar at each corner, and its diameter is also five meters away.
There is a straight upward staircase facing us. There is a row of statues on both sides of the staircase. Each statue is in a kneeling posture. At the end of the staircase, that is, at the edge of the top, there is a huge mountain gate. In front of the gate is also erected
The two statues are much larger than the ones below. From a distance, their shapes are very different. They should be animal statues.
This smooth sailing boat took us directly to the edge of the island. After we stepped ashore, the cave salamanders dispersed one after another. The old cave salamander king looked straight at us, raised his head and leaned towards us again.
Nodding, it took several minutes before following its descendants into the water.
In fact, I think it’s more important for us to say thank you to them. We kill our own giant dragons because we want to clear the obstacles in our future, not because we want to help them get rid of threats. But afterwards we received their help and took us with them.
Passing through the most dangerous places, it can be said that without them we would not be able to get here so smoothly, and we may even lose our precious lives. Their help to us is far greater than our help to them.
We slowly climbed up the stairs to the top of the island. Many of the statues on both sides could not withstand the baptism of time and were damaged beyond recognition. And those statues that had been relatively well preserved did not look so perfect. Here is close
The water source and some statues are surrounded by thick plants. Although they are not tall trees, the specific appearance of the statues can no longer be seen clearly.
It's better to go up. It's further away from the water source, and there are fewer derived plants. We can also vaguely see the original form of those statues. These statues are different from what we have seen before, they are all human.
The statues are not ordinary human beings. Both the clothes they wear and their appearance are very strange. After careful identification, I confirmed that these statues are the images of ancient wizards, and the clothes they wear are all that kind of shroud.
The robes all over the body and the proportions of the facial features are very inconsistent, so I guess that these wizards are not portrayed according to the image of real wizards, but are imagined based on that.
If the two rows of statues beside the stairs are all wizards, then it would be very obvious that the top of the island is a place for sacrifice, and it is a very large-scale sacrifice.
"Could this be the altar?" I suddenly thought excitedly, and the more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed. I had long heard that the so-called altar was a place used to worship heaven, representing divine power and
The highest standard of etiquette common to royal authority.
This island is still very high. I kept counting the number of steps along the way. When I reached nine hundred and ninety-nine, I finally reached the end. The huge mountain gate is tens of meters high and is built with huge rocks and carved on it.
There are precise patterns on them, but they are now mottled and cannot be seen clearly. The bodies of the two statues in front of the giant gate are of beasts, but their heads are missing. We looked around carefully and did not find their heads.
somewhere, so there is no way to know what these two strange beasts are.
Walking into the mountain gate, the scenery on the top of the mountain is finally unobstructed. The first thing that catches our eyes is naturally the huge stone platform in the middle and the four huge pillars on it. Now we can finally see clearly that those pillars are all made of stone.
, but it looks bronze on the outside. It turns out that the surface of the pillar is bronze, but some places have been damaged, exposing the stone inside. I think it was originally formed by pouring molten copper water on it.
, and the use of this technology must be due to the lack of resources.
