The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After all, the "thing" section of the Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique only targets inauspicious objects, strange objects, and oddities; it does not contain knowledge about non-dangerous creatures.

The four quickened their pace and headed straight ahead into the mushroom forest.

This mushroom forest is home to a large number of snow leopards and ball shrimp; you can see one almost every two steps, just like entering a zoo.

Because the Mushroom Forest was quite large, it took the four of them a full ten minutes to walk through it and reach its end.

Here, there is another cliff. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, you can see an underground lake, and in the center of the lake, there is a small island.

The terrain beneath this wind-eroded lake looks like three terraced fields.

The first level is an underground river and a gravel bank; the second level is a mushroom forest; and the third level is a lake surrounding a small island.

"altar!"

Upon seeing the small island, Fang Yun's eyes lit up, and he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He remembered that there was a secret passage on the island leading to the white crystal tunnel, and after passing through the white crystal tunnel, he could directly reach the Demon Kingdom Altar!

Thinking of this, Fang Yun felt a surge of excitement.

This journey, from the time we traveled to the tomb, has taken almost a month!

It's finally coming to an end!

......................

The journey was quite easy today, and none of the four of us felt tired. After a brief discussion, we decided to set off immediately for the island in the middle of the lake.

After preparing the safety ropes, the four of them descended one after another into the lake below the cliff.

We're not far from the geothermal source here, and the temperature in the lake is just right, with no chill at all.

Upon closer inspection, one can see many white-bearded fish living in the lake, indicating that there is more than one path leading to this underground cavity in the wind-eroded lake.

The four of them moved quickly and reached the island in the middle of the lake in less than a minute.

This island in the middle of the lake is only about half the size of a football field. It is only blackish-brown in color, and the center of it is raised high, like an inverted trumpet.

Around the flared mouth of the building, there were also many decaying cypress trees and piles of stones.

Combining the scene before us with the terrain, we can conclude that this is an underground extinct volcano, and the inverted funnel-shaped opening in front of us is the crater.

Those stone piles were clearly man-made, likely left behind by the Reincarnation Sect.

"This is the end of the underground cavern. If there are any secret passages or hidden doors, they will definitely be here."

"Old foreigner, come with me to investigate!"

After surveying the island in the middle of the lake, Partridge Whistle pulled the old foreigner aside and began to explore the island in detail.

Behind the island in the middle of the lake is a small lake, and beyond that is the end of the underground cavern's rock wall, so this island in the middle of the lake must be the place where the secret is located.

Fang Yun, holding Hua's hand, arrived at the crater.

There are many piles of rocks next to the crater, and you can climb up to the top of the crater by following the rocks.

The crater wasn't as big as Fang Yun had imagined, and there was no abyss-like scene.

Due to the passage of time, most of the crater has collapsed, and the bottom has been blocked by volcanic sand and various crystals. The entire hole is no more than 20 meters deep.

The crater is a funnel-shaped space, which gets larger as you go down, so Fang Yun and Hua don't get to see much of the scenery.

but.

Among the sights that can be seen is a well-like structure built of megaliths and ebony, similar in structure to the entrance of a mine.

"It's downwards again, so the altar might be down there!"

Upon seeing the building, Hua excitedly waved.

From the perspective of the Demon Kingdom's values, the deeper you go, the closer you will get to the Demon Kingdom's altar. Following the crater downwards is definitely the right thing to do!

"boom!"

Just then, a muffled thud followed by a crash sound rang out...

The two quickly turned around and saw Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner standing behind a pile of stones, seemingly having discovered something.

Upon approaching, the two men saw Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner's discovery.

At Partridge Whistle's feet was a large lizard that was over three meters long.

The lizard was covered in black scales, with red scales on its limbs and head. When it lay on the ground, it looked like a piece of volcanic rock, and you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.

At this moment, the large lizard's head was slightly sunken, blood was flowing from its seven orifices, and it was still struggling under Partridge Whistle's foot.

It looks like he was kicked hard by Partridge Whistle.

Seeing Fang Yun leading the flowers over, Partridge Whistle smiled and said calmly:

"It's just a fire lizard, don't worry. Let's find the secret passage leading to the next section first."

"I almost forgot about the important matter!"

At this moment, Hua patted her head and excitedly said to Partridge Whistle:

"Senior brother, we've found the secret passage. It's inside the crater. There's a door built at the bottom of the crater, and it must lead to a cave!"

“Found it?!”

Upon hearing Hua's words, Partridge Whistle exclaimed in delight.

Immediately afterwards, he stomped down hard, crushing the fire lizard's skull, and then hurriedly ran towards the crater.

After seeing the view inside the crater, Partridge Whistle's face lit up with even more joy.

"Giant Black 1.3 Wood... This architectural structure is undoubtedly a Demon Kingdom building."

"Brother Fang, shall we go down into the cave immediately?"

After saying that, Partridge Whistle looked at Fang Yun, his eyes full of eagerness.

Fang Yun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let's eat first, and then go downstairs after we've had enough rest."

"You've seen the sacrificial picture; the road to the altar is far from safe."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle's expression hardened, and he nodded.

In the sacrificial hall of Eroha City, there are several painted human skins used to record sacrificial rituals.

On the way to the altar, the demons described a monstrous creature with a snake's head and a human body, a group of one-eyed black snakes, and a human figure living within the stone...

He had considered this beforehand; the power of the Ghost Cave couldn't manifest a living being with a soul, but it might manifest a soulless tomb-guarding puppet.

The most important place in the Demon Kingdom couldn't possibly be without any protective measures.

Chapter 136 The White Tunnel, the Eerie Shadow Behind the Door!

Half an hour later, the four of them had filled their stomachs and their energy had almost been restored.

Fortunately, all four of them took this trip very seriously and brought enough equipment; they still have a lot of safety rope left over.

After entering the crater via a safety rope, the four people separated and began to explore the bottom of the cave.

The crater has been artificially renovated and is very large, probably over 100 square meters. The surrounding rock walls are covered with all sorts of symbols and markings.

These symbols and markings were familiar to many people in the city of Evil Luo Sea.

For the group of four, only one mural or relief was unfamiliar.

It was a nebula pattern carved into the rock face, the nebulae coalescing to form a star map as seen by the human eye.

Around the four corners of the Human Eye Nebula, there are four five-clawed animal patterns that support the nebula and point it towards the east.

"right here!"

“We saw this mark on a book on burial while we were searching for clues in the ancestral hall.”

Partridge Whistle's spirits lifted, and he began to carefully examine the star map in the man's eyes.

"good."

At this moment, Fang Yun took a deep breath, nodded, and said:

“This mark appears not only in Tibetan scriptures but also in the Epic of King Gesar. This mark represents a place called ‘Magamaningdun’, also known as Mahakala Thunder Mountain. The blood sacrifice of the Demon Kingdom was carried out to the east of Mahakala Thunder Mountain.”

"The Thunder Mountain in the name of Mahakala Thunder Mountain is a place, while Mahakala... is a demon that controls minerals."

"Do you remember what we saw in the temple of Evil Luo Sea City? Several female statues with their eyes covered surrounded a white crystal, and they used blood to inscribe spells on the white crystal. There was also a human figure drawn in blood on the white crystal. That was Mahakala!"

That Great Black Heaven, which can control the power of crystal tremors, is not something to be trifled with. Like the Corpse Cave, it is simply impossible to deal with.

Once they enter the altar, Mahakala will awaken, and if they do not complete the ritual quickly, the power of the crystal tremor will erupt.

But now, he knows how to complete the ritual, and his worry is not that the ritual cannot be completed.

Rather, it's because the crystal tremor power accumulated in the crystal vein over thousands of years is too immense, and even the Great Black Heaven might not be able to suppress that crystal tremor power.

If the Great Darkness erupts as soon as it awakens, then there will be big trouble.

Upon hearing the words "Daheitian," the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, all turned pale.

They had naturally learned about Mahakala from Tibetan scriptures and the epic of King Gesar.

This great black sky is not some evil thing, but rather a thing naturally born from heaven and earth, having form but no substance.

There is no way to destroy Mahakala except by destroying the entire mineral vein where it resides.
