I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2033 Sacrifice Temple
In the direction pointed by the eldest prince, a huge volcano stood in front of them. Its top was gushing with hot magma, dyeing the surrounding sea water dark red. At the foot of the volcano, there were many ancient stone statues and ruined buildings scattered around, as if telling a forgotten history.

Sabella walked forward and carefully observed the relics. His fingers gently stroked the surface of the stone statues and whispered, "The carving style of these stone statues is indeed the work of our ancestors. It seems that we have found the right place."

Liu Jun walked up to a stone statue and found a line of ancient words engraved on its base, but he didn't recognize any of them.

"The secret of the sea eye is hidden in the heart of the volcano. The stick that stabilizes the sea protects the souls of sea beasts. The lord of the sea is located on the top of the volcano." Sabella walked over, took a look, and translated.

The eldest prince beside him had a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "What good luck! We got a clue right after arriving. But what is this Lord of the Sea?"

"Maybe it's on top?" Liu Jun looked up at the top of the volcano and said.

"Let's go up and take a look," the eldest prince said excitedly.

The three carefully avoided the gushing lava and climbed up along the outer wall of the volcano. As they approached, the temperature around them became higher and higher, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. Finally, they arrived at the edge of the crater.

In the crater, the hot magma was rolling and roaring. In the center of the magma, a palace could be vaguely seen, and in the palace there seemed to be an ancient altar. In the center of the altar, there was a statue, but the statue was covered by a cloud of mist and its appearance could not be seen at all.

Sabella stared at the statue and whispered, "It seems that this is the Lord of the Sea. It is rumored that this is the first generation of the ancient divine whale statue."

The eldest prince took a deep breath and said, "We have to find a way to go over and take a look."

Liu Jun looked around and pointed to a stone bridge extending from the edge of the crater and said, "There is a stone bridge over there. We can go over there."

The three of them walked onto the stone bridge carefully, the stones under their feet making slight cracking sounds under the high temperature. Every step was full of danger, but their eyes never left the statue on the altar.

Finally, they arrived in front of the altar. The eldest prince stretched out his hand and carefully tried to touch the mist around the statue. The moment he touched the mist, a powerful energy surged out of the mist and instantly enveloped him.

Before the eldest prince could react, the mist dissipated again, but it still surrounded the statue, making it impossible for them to see the statue clearly. The statue was looming in the mist, as if a mysterious god was guarding this area of ​​water. The flow of the mist had a strange rhythm, as if telling an ancient legend.

"What's the situation? How do you feel?" Liu Jun couldn't help but ask, staring at the eldest prince, trying to catch a clue from his expression.

The eldest prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was feeling every change in his surroundings. "It's a wonderful feeling, I feel warm and comfortable."

There was a hint of surprise and joy in his voice that was hard to conceal, as if this warm current not only healed his body but also soothed his heart that had just been hurt by electric fishing.

Liu Jun frowned, his doubts growing even more intense, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "Here, give me your wrist."

The eldest prince did not hesitate and handed over his wrist. Liu Jun gently placed his fingers on the eldest prince's pulse and began to carefully check his physical condition.

After a moment, Liu Jun withdrew his hand, with a hint of surprise and thought in his eyes. "This mist seems to have a healing effect."

He could clearly feel that the injuries sustained by the electric fish had been completely healed. Although he had given the prince healing medicine before, the effect of that medicine was far less powerful than this one.

Liu Jun looked at the statue shrouded in mist again, his heart full of doubts. What was the origin of this statue? He felt that there was an unknown secret behind the statue, which might be inextricably linked to the purpose of their trip.

The eldest prince also noticed Liu Jun's abnormality, then opened his eyes, looked at Liu Jun, and asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Liu Jun shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just think this statue is a little weird. But since it is good for you, let's observe it for a while."

The eldest prince nodded and looked at the statue shrouded in mist again. His heart was also filled with curiosity, as if an invisible force was guiding him, making him want to uncover the secret behind the statue.

The mist was still flowing slowly, as if guarding something important. The three stood in front of the statue, quietly feeling the changes around them. "I remember now, this is the statue of the first generation of the ancient divine whale." Senior Sabella's voice was low and full of awe, as if he was telling a long-forgotten secret.

Liu Jun turned his head, his eyes filled with doubt and expectation: "The first generation of ancient divine whales? Are you sure?"

Senior Sabella nodded, with wisdom in her eyes. "I'm sure. There are detailed records in the library of the sea beasts. It is said that in order to protect the Sea of ​​Death, the first generation of ancient divine whales had fought an earth-shaking battle with ancient beasts from other seas. Although she eventually killed the other party, she was also seriously injured. Although she was best at healing, she could not save herself at that time. It is rumored that before she died, she ordered people to make a statue and transferred all her divine power to the statue. From then on, the statue had the ability to heal. Many of our ancestors who were accidentally injured here were treated here and recovered their health."

An idea flashed through Liu Jun's mind, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky. He immediately thought of the sick and sleeping little ancient divine whale in his storage space. If this statue really had the ability to heal, then perhaps it could save the little divine whale.

Liu Jun did it as soon as he thought of it. He took out the little ancient divine whale from the storage space without hesitation. Its body was still weak, and its breathing was weak, as if it would stop at any time. Liu Jun carefully placed it in front of the statue, praying silently in his heart.

At this moment, the statue suddenly emitted a soft light, and the mist began to boil, as if responding to Liu Jun's expectations. After a moment, the mist extended and gently enveloped the body of the little ancient divine whale, warm and peaceful.

"Your Highness, what did you just take out?" The eldest prince asked in a trembling voice, his eyes fixed on the small ancient divine whale that was already wrapped in water mist. His heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, his fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

Senior Sabella at the side was also very excited, his old body was shaking a little. Tears flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the long-lost hope. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart, but his voice was still trembling: "I, am I old and blurry... Is this really the ancient divine whale? In the legend of our clan, it is the supreme existence!"

Liu Jun scratched his head and explained slowly: "As you can see, this is a young ancient divine whale, the ancestor of your sea beasts. When I saved your father two days ago, I borrowed a drop of its blood. As for where I got it from, well, I said it was entrusted to me by the big ancient divine whale in the Tomb of the God King. Do you believe it?"

The eldest prince and Senior Sabella exchanged a glance, each of them filled with disbelief. The eldest prince was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, his voice low and firm: "I believe it, of course I believe it. This... this little ancestor, is he alive?"

Liu Jun nodded, his eyes fell on the little ancient divine whale in the mist, and his tone was full of expectation: "Of course, at least for now, he is not dead. Now it depends on whether this first-generation ancient divine whale statue you mentioned can save him."

At this time, the mist that enveloped the little ancient divine whale was quietly changing. The mist seemed to be decreasing and gradually becoming thinner, as if it was absorbed by some force. The little ancient divine whale in the mist gradually revealed its outline. It was a petite creature that emitted a faint blue light. Its skin was as crystal clear as crystal, as if it contained endless energy.

The eldest prince stared at the little ancient divine whale in the mist, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He murmured in a low voice: "This is the ancestor of our clan, the legendary guardian... I didn't expect to see him alive."

Senior Sabella had a pious look on his face, with his hands clasped together as if he was praying. His voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, it is a great honor for our clan that you can bring it back. If it can wake up, the fate of our clan may be completely changed."

Liu Jun shook his head slightly. "I'm not bringing it back. I just wanted to save this little guy on behalf of the whale. As for whether this little guy will wake up and whether he is willing to stay, I don't know."

The eldest prince took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, please rest assured. Whether this little ancestor is willing to stay or not, we will do our best to cooperate with you. No matter what the cost, we must make it wake up."

Liu Jun smiled slightly and patted the eldest prince on the shoulder: "Okay, I feel relieved when you say this."

At this moment, the little ancient whale in the mist suddenly let out a slight cry, the sound was as sweet as the sound of nature. Its body trembled slightly, as if responding to the expectations of the people around it.

Senior Sabella was so excited that he almost fell to his knees. He said in a trembling voice: "It...it moved! It's really still alive!"

Liu Jun's eyes also flashed with a trace of relief, and he said softly: "It seems that it has begun to wake up."

As the mist gradually dissipated, Liu Jun's heart sank a little bit. The little divine whale remained motionless, as if it had fallen into an endless sleep. His brows were furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the power of this statue has been exhausted? What should I do?"

The eldest prince and Sabella also felt the seriousness of the situation, and their faces were full of anxiety. The eldest prince clenched his fists, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, we can't give up." Sabella prayed silently, hoping that the power of the first generation of ancient divine whales could come again.

Just when everyone was about to despair, suddenly, the entire sacrificial palace began to shake violently. The magma deep in the volcano seemed to be awakened by some force and began to boil and roll. The mist around the statue seemed to be summoned and quickly gathered towards the little divine whale, wrapping it again. At this moment, the entire space seemed to be still, with only the mist flowing slowly.

As the mist shifted, the true form of the statue gradually emerged. It was an ancient divine whale that was very similar to the little divine whale. Its eyes were deep and ancient, as if they contained endless power.

Liu Jun looked at the statue and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Could this statue be the mother of the little ancient divine whale? Why is it so similar to the little divine whale?"
