In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

In the darkness, a hunched figure slowly walked out.

The man's clothes were already tattered, his skin was a strange gray-green color, his eye sockets were sunken, and a faint green light seeped out of his pupils.

He had rusty chains on his wrists and ankles, and the chains dragged on the ground with a harsh sound every time he took a step.

"Who are you?!"

Biyao's voice was trembling.

The man turned a deaf ear and continued to slowly approach, making incomprehensible roars.

Su Han noticed that there were traces of tentacle-like suction cups on his neck, which clearly showed that he was being parasitized by a monster in the lake.

When the man was only three steps away from them, Su Han suddenly swung his knife, but at the moment when the blade was about to touch the man's throat, he heard a faint murmur.

"escape……"

A glimmer of clarity flashed across the man's cloudy pupils. He suddenly used all his strength to push Su Han away, turned around and ran wildly towards the depths of the stone path.

The roars of the monsters suddenly rang out, and Su Han and Bi Yao realized that the stone path behind had been blocked by densely packed monsters at some point.

The dark green compound eyes connected together in the darkness, like surging will-o'-the-wisp fire.

"Chase!"

Su Han dragged Bi Yao and chased after the figure. He had a vague feeling that this infected person might know the key to escaping from the cave.

The stone road forked ahead, and the man turned left without hesitation. The sound of the iron chain echoed in the empty cave.

However, when they turned the corner, they found that the man had fallen in a pool of blood. Several monsters were tearing his body with their sharp claws, and their dark green compound eyes were flickering in the bloody mess.

Bi Yao turned her head away, but Su Han noticed that the dead man was holding a broken stone slab in his hand.

He rushed forward and kicked the monster away, snatching the stone tablet - half of a map was engraved on it, burning torches were painted on the edge of the map, and in the center was a vortex emitting a faint blue light. The monster group attacked again, Su Han stuffed the stone tablet into his arms, and continued to flee forward with Bi Yao.

The stone path began to slope downward, and the humid air became increasingly cold.

Suddenly, there was a roaring sound of water coming from the front, and a huge waterfall appeared in front of us. Behind the waterfall, a faint blue light was pouring down like a galaxy.

Su Han looked at the map in his hand, then looked at the waterfall, and a bold guess came to his mind.

"Get behind the waterfall!" he shouted.

Before Biyao could respond, he dragged her into the waterfall.

The cold water washed over his body. The moment he passed through the water curtain, Su Han felt a tingling sensation on his skin, as if countless tiny electric currents were running through his skin.

When they fell onto the platform behind the waterfall, the scene before them froze them completely...

This is a huge circular cave with glowing stalactites hanging from the ceiling and the ground covered with complex rune arrays.

In the center of the rune array stands an altar made of bones and crystals.

A ball of flickering blue flame was suspended on top of the altar, and in the flame, the outline of a human being could be vaguely seen twisting and struggling.

The cries of monsters came from outside the waterfall. Su Han gripped the dagger tightly and approached the altar cautiously with Bi Yao.

When they were five steps away from the altar, the dark blue flames suddenly surged, and countless glowing spores flew out of the flames, forming a picture in the air.

Thousands of years ago, humans held sacrifices here, offering flames to the monster in the lake in exchange for peace.

However, the monster eventually betrayed the agreement and devoured the entire sacrificial team. The flame was also taken by it and turned into the core to maintain its power.

The moment the image faded, the rune arrays around the altar lit up with a blinding red light. (End of this chapter)
