Chapter 168 Jade Ball Strange Stone (5)

In contrast, Machete's reaction was greater than mine. His eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he seemed extremely excited, as if he was incredulous about the appearance of this stone step.

I remembered what Machete said before. He said that he had been looking for it here for a long time. Maybe he had never found this stone step, so when he saw it now, his reaction was naturally greater than mine.

But the top is obviously a vault, so could there be another layer above it?
Such designs are quite rare.

Without waiting for me to think about it, the gang escorted us up the spiral staircase.

This staircase is higher than the one on the first floor, and it ends at the end of two turns.

When I got out of the stairs, my eyes suddenly became bright, and I looked at the situation in front of me, making people feel as if I was really in a real and strange dream.

In front of us, there is an arched sphere, to be precise, only half a sphere, and the whole body is transparent, as if carved from some kind of jade.

Jade has always been produced in the ancient Western Regions, but even so, such a large jade is too exaggerated, right?Visual inspection of this hemisphere has a diameter of at least 30 meters and a height of at least six or seven meters.

And on this big jade ball, there are countless blood flowing down from the top of the jade ball, like red earthworms.

There is a deep groove around the edge of the bottom of the jade ball. We are standing on the edge of the jade ball at this moment, so we can clearly see the liquid gathered in the groove like blood.

Perhaps, this is not like blood, but it is blood.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and there seemed to be something on the top of the jade ball, but because of the angle of view, we couldn't see the whole picture.

In addition, the ground outside the jade ball is made of stone bricks. There are fire troughs on the ground, and there is one at a certain distance around the arc of the jade ball.

The inside seems to be full of fuel oil, so the flame is burning fiercely in the fire trough, illuminating this area exceptionally brightly, the transparent huge jade ball, in the raging fire light, in the blood dripping on the jade ball, Show a magnificent color.

At this moment, there are a group of people standing on the periphery, the same black robes, but some of them are wearing masks, some of them are not. According to visual inspection, there should be nearly forty people.

The majority are wearing masks, and the minority are not wearing masks. Most of those wearing masks are holding weapons, such as spears, without firearms.There are a total of three guns in our team. Unfortunately, after we separated, none of the guns belonged to me. Otherwise, the situation might be reversed. After all, although there are many people in this group, they seem to have no hot weapons.

But now that I think about it, I don’t have anything. I don’t have anything in my hand.

The big lips walked towards the group of people, and said something to the leader who looked like a leader, and the leader turned to look at us.

I don't know if it's because they are all members of the cult, each of them looks uglier than the other.

This leader is also thin, his face is full of wrinkles, and his face seems to be falling off, he is not human at all.He wriggled his cheeks, as if he was saying something to his big lips.

After a while, Big Lips gave an order and spoke a language I couldn't understand, and the group of people who were escorting me and the scimitar escorted me forward first.

Their language is not Chinese, but I have been in frequent contact with XJ people recently, and I feel that it is not Uyghur either.

Could it be that some foreign cult has come to our western region to make trouble?

I thought they were going to escort me to the leader, but unexpectedly, they escorted me around the jade ball and walked to the other side of the jade ball.

Only then did I realize that there was a staircase carved on the other side of the jade ball.

Immediately afterwards, I was pushed up the stairs by two people.

The two men did not go up the stairs themselves, but pointed their pointed spears at me, beckoning me to go up by myself.

I don't know what they want to do, but when I think of the blood flowing from the top of the jade ball, I know it must be something bad.But at this moment, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Under the threat of spears, they can only walk up the jade steps step by step, feeling as heavy as sending them to death.

My mind was spinning wildly, thinking about how to have a chance of escape in such a situation, so I walked very slowly step by step.

But no matter how slow it is, it will eventually reach the top.

Standing on the top, you can see everything below, the machete is looking up at me, the gray pupils do not show any emotion, the curly hair is a bit messy, the group seems to be worried that he will break free, so they tied it more than me in a circle.

At this moment, I have reached the top. Since the jade ball itself is relatively large, even if it is round, there are still many places for people to stand on its top.

In the center of the top of the jade ball, sitting cross-legged impressively was an old man with gray hair and bare upper body.

This person's skin is very white, the kind of white that does not see the sun all year round, his body is quite thin, his upper body is naked, and his ribs are clearly visible.He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, not sure whether he was dead or alive, and in front of him, there was a circular hole, about the size of a basketball.

It was a hole made in the jade ball, which seemed to lead to the inside of the jade ball.

I stood in front of the old man, he didn't move, and neither did I. At this moment, I found that the blood on the jade ball was actually flowing down from around the old man.

But what is the blood source body that bleeds, but I didn't see it.

Those bloodstains seemed to seep from the top of the jade ball, and then flow down the jade ball, and the old man sat cross-legged in the center of the seeping blood.

I didn't know what to do at this moment, so I just stood silently.

But after standing for a while, I suddenly felt dizzy.

The feeling of dizziness came very quickly and was very strong. Within a few seconds, I was a little unsteady. I staggered two steps, and I just happened to walk on the jade ball, which happened to be very close to the old man. position, and in front of me is the basketball-sized hole.

I subconsciously looked down the hole, and it was dark below. The fire should be burning under the jade ball, so the light above us was not very bright, so I can only see about one meter from the basketball-sized jade hole. depth.

There is blood all around the jade cave, and the blood has not yet dried up.

My scalp went numb, and I felt dizzy even more.

And at this moment, the old man opposite me suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at me.

I gasped in fright, he didn't have eyes, he clearly only had a pair of white eyes, no pupils at all!

The moment I was stared at by these white eyes, goosebumps all over my body rose, and a strong intuition of imminent danger kept pounding my brain.

I subconsciously wanted to back up, to go back to the jade steps, and to run down, but at this moment, I found that my legs were out of my control.

I wanted to run, but I couldn't help myself and sat down opposite this person.
