And as the black glasses stirred, the liquid in the pool began to change from clear to turbid, confirming Chen Ziyan's guess with actual conditions.
This is not spring water at all, but an unknown liquid.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the pool and the stone trough. Chen Ziyan was evaluating whether the liquid in the pool could fill the stone trough next to it.
If they can do this, perhaps this will be the key to their victory.
Chen Ziyan could think of this, and so could others. After thinking about it for a while, Hu Bayi couldn't help but think of the scene they saw on Shitai:
"Do you think the thing in this pool is the kind of liquid that seeps out from the dome crystal?"
As for the water droplets dripping from the hanging crystal pillars of the dome, he initially thought they were the condensation of underground water vapor, but now he has a different view. It may be the stone marrow produced by the underground mineral veins.<
/p>
"But this place is not open-air, how can we collect it?" Wang Kaixuan asked.
He knew that stone marrow was not that rare, but for this kind of thing to reach the scale it is now, it definitely requires continuous accumulation over many years.
But the situation in the space in front of us is clear at a glance, and it is impossible to catch the stone marrow that fell from the dome.
Tick-tock——
As luck would have it, at the moment Wang Kaixuan said these words, two drops of translucent liquid with a faint yellow halo appeared out of thin air from the top of the cave above their heads, and fell directly into the pool in front of them, making a crisp sound.
The sound.
"Did it really fall from above?" Wang Kaixuan, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, said in shock.
"Did the dome fall? Or was it born inside the mountain?" Hu Bayi did not take the opportunity to complain, but stared at the cave ceiling above his head and whispered to himself.
Although the appearance of this water drop told them the source of the liquid in the pool, it did not mean that the water drop fell from the dome outside. It was more likely that it was conceived by the topaz mountain itself.
This would be impossible in other places, but you can't say for sure here. It's possible that this strange peak has any effect.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly flashed in his mind, the dark lines on the Huangyu Peak Platform, and said: "The mountain above us has probably been modified, and there is a special collection system hidden inside, which will collect the collected stone marrow.
The pool here."
They did see water droplets hanging on the stone pillars of the dome, but no one stipulated that those water droplets must fall naturally?
This topaz peak is located exactly in the center of the entire underground space. If there is a corresponding arrangement, the stone marrow of the entire underground space can be collected.
After these fallen stone marrows are absorbed by the mountain, they will be filtered by the mechanisms inside the mountain, and will eventually turn into the strange liquid in front of them.
Although Chen Ziyan's conjecture is somewhat taken for granted, it cannot be regarded as unreasonable. Judging from the usual generosity of the Evil Luohai people, they were completely able to do such a thing in the first place.
After all, this is their most important altar, and no decoration is too much!
And since the stone trough mechanism in front of them has proved that there are mechanisms in the mountain below them, it would be somewhat unjustifiable if the mountain above them is not used.
"If the facts are really what you think, then maybe we should re-guess the role of the stone trough." Shirley Yang said after hearing this.
If the inference made by Chen Ziyan is correct, it is equivalent to overturning most of their previous speculations.
"That's not necessary. Most of the ancient sacrificial rituals involve changing the soup without changing the dressing. This special liquid is probably just one of the ingredients. Blood should still be indispensable." Chen Ziyan shook his head gently.
There is no doubt in his mind that blood is needed to open the mechanism. The dark red color at the bottom of the stone trough is enough to prove everything.
So he felt that the special liquid in the pool in front of him was most likely one of the required materials.
"Materials? If so, things will be difficult!" Black Glasses scratched his head in distress.
Through Chen Ziyan's inference, he found that things were starting to get complicated.
If they just need to activate the mechanism, then they are just a skillful woman who cannot make a meal without rice, but it is not completely impossible to start.
But if you need to mix liquid to fill the stone trough, it is equivalent to the mechanism in front of you. It suddenly changes from an ordinary door to a password door. If you don't know the proportion of the liquid, no one can even think of opening the mechanism.
Chen Ziyan understood what Black Glasses meant, and began to feel distressed. This was indeed a relatively unsolvable problem.
"Look inside the pool!"
Just when they were thinking about how to continue to break the game, Wang Kaixuan, who had been studying the liquid in the pool, suddenly shouted.
Chen Ziyan subconsciously lowered his head and looked into the pool, and was immediately attracted by the situation in front of him.
I saw that the originally turbid liquid now appeared in two distinct colors. The dark red liquid occupied most of the page, and a light yellow line ran through it, slowly outlining a series of simple pictures.<
/p>
The pictures in this pool are very simple, but in the eyes of everyone, they are shocking, because they are clearly an alternative description of sacrifices.
Although the composition is extremely simple, with the dark red background, the pictures in the pool have a strong psychological impact on people, as if they have witnessed the bloody and cruel scene with their own eyes.
Same, for a moment it felt like every line below was stained with dripping blood.
The pictures in this pool completely recorded the process of sacrifice. Through the content recorded on it, Chen Ziyan and the others finally understood the functions of these two pools while confirming their previous speculations.
These two pools play an important role in the entire sacrificial process, even more important than the stone trough that turns on the mechanism.
Because according to the record in the picture of the pool, the stone trough can indeed open a door, but the function of that door is only to clean up the residue of the sacrifice. The real altar is the space where they are.

"According to the records above, we need to put the Muchen Beads and the sacrifices into two pools at the same time, so that the sacrifice can be completed." Shirley Yang endured the discomfort and looked at the pictures in the pools several times before looking ugly.
said.
If this is true, then if they want to lift the ghost eye curse, they must have enough victims.
But it clearly states that the sacrifices are living people. Is it possible that they will kill each other?
"Why do you want to put the Muchen Bead into the pool?" Hu Ba didn't look good, and he planned to find a solution from other aspects.
What they can know now is that the Muchen Bead plays an extremely important role even in sacrificial rituals. Perhaps they can use the Muchen Bead as a breakthrough point.
"Maybe it needs the power of Muchen Bead." Shirley Yang said with some uncertainty.
She didn't know why she put the Muchen Bead into the pool, but she thought this was the most likely explanation.
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered that it seemed that this was not the end of the trip. There was another part of the whole sacrificial process.
After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "I think the main purpose of this sacrifice is probably to recharge the Muchen Bead."
"Charging?" Shirley Yang looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he said that.
According to records, the Muchen Bead was originally left by the Snake God. It has the ability to communicate with the imaginary space. They have seen the power of the imaginary space more than once. It can maintain the real phantom of an ancient city for countless years. Does this still need to be recharged?<
/p>
"Yes, charging, we have all overlooked one thing, that is, the Muchen Bead can indeed communicate with the imaginary space, but that also depends on who is using it." Chen Ziyan organized his words and spoke slowly.
He made his own new guess: "The first generation of ghost mothers can control the power of the imaginary space by themselves without any medium, but this does not mean that other people in the Demon Kingdom can also do this."
According to the Tibetan people in blue robes, after the death of the first generation of ghost mothers, the demon kingdom was completely on a different level from the original demon kingdom. Perhaps this cruel sacrifice was the method they developed to use the Muchen Bead.
After sorting out the information he knew, Chen Ziyan roughly sorted out a very simple context.
After the death of the first generation of ghost mothers, the Evil Luohai people lost control of the imaginary number space, which meant that they would gradually lose the power to maintain their rule.
For this reason, on the one hand, they used their talents and the remnants of the first generation of ghost mothers to develop many prototypes of evil techniques; on the other hand, they began to artificially create a new generation of ghost mothers.
The Muchen Bead is the prop they use to create a new generation of ghost mothers. Through cruel sacrifices, the Evil Luohai people use souls containing pain to activate the Muchen Bead, thereby opening a passage to the imaginary space, and then letting the selected ghosts
Mother candidates come into contact with the imaginary number space. Those who can survive the entire ceremony and successfully master some power of the imaginary number space are the new generation of ghost mothers.
This can explain why the sacrificial ceremony is like this.
When Chen Ziyan said his speculation, the others were stunned in place.
They really didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would come to such a conclusion after combining the known information.
But I have to say...
After they thought about it carefully, they felt that Chen Ziyan's inference made some sense, at least it made sense logically.
After reviewing it in her mind, Shirley Yang quickly discovered the key point and couldn't help but ask: "You mean... we still have a way to go?"
She heard the subtext in Chen Ziyan's words. Since this was just a place to charge the Muchen Beads, it meant that the sacrifice could not remove the ghost eye curse on them.
If you want to truly find a way to lift the curse, you will probably need to find the Demon Mother's testing ground.
"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded: "We should continue to go forward and find a test site to select a new generation of ghost mothers. Only there may be a way to break the curse."
Wang Kaixuan also said at this time: "It's true, we are just here to be happy. There is no saying here that sacrifice can lift the curse!"
The others also nodded at this moment. It was indeed like what Wang Kaixuan said. They were so excited when they found out that they were behind the altar and did not notice it at all.
This is indeed the altar they have been looking for, but their original purpose was just to find a way to break the curse by looking at the altar, not by trying to use sacrifices to lift the curse!
There is an essential difference between the two!
"We may have been guided by the subconscious." Black Glasses adjusted his sunglasses, and there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.
It is normal for some people in the team to make this kind of mistake, especially those who are cursed. It is understandable that seeing hope leads to temporary errors in thinking.
But there are people in their team who have not been cursed, but no one felt that something was wrong just now, and they were all seriously thinking about the possibility of sacrifice, which seemed to be a problem.
Based on the performance of himself and others, Black Glasses felt that the problem probably occurred subconsciously, and that there was something that misled their thinking patterns without their knowledge.
The blue-robed Tibetan also frowned tightly. After thinking for a while, his eyes fell on Chen Ziyan and asked: "When you finally entered the stone well, did you see the true face of the black shadow above?"
He is very familiar with this ability. The King of Hell guarded by the Kangbalo clan has it. Previously, he had always thought that the King of Hell that Chen Ziyan and the others encountered had not completed the final transformation, so he did not think about it. But at this time, he
Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the black shadow that appeared outside the grotto earlier was suspicious.
"I didn't see it clearly, but it was a humanoid creature with a very large size." Chen Ziyan shook his head and added: "By the way, that thing gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but I couldn't remember where it was before.
Where have I seen it?"
"King of Hell!"
After hearing the words "familiarity", the blue-robed Tibetan blurted it out.
If he had just suspected it just now, he was now certain that there was a real King of Hell entrenched on the outer wall of the twisted grotto!
"Are you sure that's the King of Hell?" Chen Ziyan asked subconsciously.
Although he didn't know the situation outside the Twisted Grotto, it was probably a mezzanine space. How could the King of Hell run there?
And wasn’t the Xue Maitreya they met a larva of the King of Hell?
Chen Ziyan doesn’t know much about the King of Hell, but he feels that the King of Hell should be similar to the King of Wannu. This type of existence should not be plural.
"I'm not really sure yet, but the characteristics you mentioned are all possessed by the King of Hell. The larval King of Hell you met has probably completed its final transformation." The blue-robed Tibetan said in a bitter tone. p>
This was really something he had never expected. He had always thought that the larvae of the King of Hell would attack Chen Ziyan and the others, so he planned to sit back and wait for the rabbit. However, he did not expect that the larvae of the King of Hell would suddenly complete its transformation.
This is a disaster for him and the Kangbalo people!
What's even more desperate is that he has no way to deal with the King of Hell now, which means Kang Balo needs to make sacrifices again to send the King of Hell back to the door!
