Chapter 15 Return to the Altar

"Well done, but I have a task to give you now."

After simply praising Fei Que, Zhou Xu quickly got to the point.

"The five of them were originally responsible for collecting supplies, but from now on, they will also be temporarily incorporated into your hunting team. Everything has been prepared for them. You can take them to the next area and teach them."

Fei Que has a command with an upper limit of four stars, so at this time, Zhou Xu is also willing to give him some tasks to train him.

Fei Que, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. Anyway, their leader gave the order and he just obeyed.

In a limited area, stacking too many traps is just a waste.

Now that they have just arrived, their exploration of this dark forest is still limited to the outer areas, so a large number of traps are concentrated in two relatively limited areas on the outside.

In the next few days, they will look for opportunities to explore slowly and deeply. After the map is opened, the range of traps deployed by their hunting team will naturally expand accordingly.

[The follow-up exploration of this dark forest should be able to start slowly in the next two days...]

After calling Fei Que and making simple arrangements for personnel transfer, Zhou Xu also made some appropriate adjustments to the subsequent big plan in his mind.

Then he raised his head to confirm the position of the sun.

[It should be two or three hours before sunset.]

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu turned his head and looked at the mountain.

"Da Shan, you guys come with me to the altar to have a look."

Anyway, I just have time, and the location of the altar is not too far from here.

The only thing we need to worry about is whether there will be any danger, so we need to bring Dashan and the other five as bodyguards.

As soon as he left, after moving a certain distance, Zhou Xu saw the altar made of stones from a distance on this bare wasteland.

After getting closer, I don't know if it was his imagination, but the altar felt much worn out.

After taking a few steps to reach the altar, the stones under my feet became somewhat loose.

He stood in the center of the altar, where he was summoned. At the same time, he still remembered that there were many strange symbols painted on the altar.

But now, these symbols are all gone.

【what happened?】

With doubts in his heart, Zhou Xu squatted down and swept away the sand and dust on the altar with his hands, trying to find traces of those symbols, but to no avail.

"Da Shan, were you the ones who painted the symbols on the altar at that time?"

Upon hearing the question, Dashan quickly shook his head.

"It's already on the altar."

[The symbols that were originally on the altar are gone now. Does it mean that the altar has exhausted its power after summoning me? 】

Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Xu quickly noticed that several stones were falling down at the edge of the altar.

There was no time to think about it. Zhou Xu, who saw this scene in his eyes, instinctively felt a little bad and rushed down from the altar with a quick stride.

Almost at the same time, the entire altar collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.

Looking back at the pile of ruins, Zhou Xu let out a long breath.

[From our current understanding, the symbols on this altar are most likely the mantra.]

[According to Dashan, these altars were created by the old gods, but the old gods have died long ago and have even become a legend. That time has definitely passed a long time ago. ]

[The reason why such a simple altar can be maintained for such a long time is because of the blessing of the power of the mantra. Once the power of the mantra is exhausted and loses the power to maintain it, the altar will naturally collapse. 】

Originally, Zhou Xu wanted to come here to study the methods of this altar. Now that the altar has collapsed, he naturally has no need to stay here anymore.

After all, the few of them who came here were still bearing a certain degree of risk.

But just when Zhou Xu was about to call Dashan and the others and turn around to leave, an idea flashed through his mind.

【Wait a minute, how about giving it a try?】

Along with the changes in the thoughts in his mind, several difficult and ancient tones came out of his mouth.

【Eye of Insight.】

In an instant, the world in front of Zhou Xu became clearer. Even a grain of sand flying in the wind was so clear.

Obviously, this eye of insight can't only be used to see people's panels.

In addition to passively improving his vision and insight, when activated actively, the improvement of his vision and insight will undoubtedly become stronger!

In this state, he caught the faint silver light that penetrated slightly from the pile of rubble at a glance.

"Come and help!"

While shouting, Zhou Xu quickly ran over and started digging.

"This is it, dig it up!"

During this period, although Dashan and the others did not know what was going on, since their leader had given the order, they had nothing to say and started digging one after another.

The altar itself was not that big, and with the combined efforts of everyone, the rubble on it was quickly and completely dug up.

Zhou Xu's eyes fell on a stone the size of a fist.

Dashan and the others did not seem to see the faint silver light emitting from this stone, but with the help of his insightful eyes, he noticed it!

At the same time, I also noticed that on the surface of the relatively flat stone, there was an ancient character that seemed to disappear completely in the next second!

【Mantra?】

At this moment, Zhou Xu's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and with a breath adjustment, he tentatively stretched out his hand toward the light ball.

After getting close to a certain distance, the silver light ball directly turned into a ray of silver light and disappeared into his palm.

At that moment, a character emerged in his mind. This feeling was exactly the same as when he absorbed the [Eye of Insight] before.

In the process, he also clearly understood the meaning of this character.

If [Eye of Insight] is a complete vocabulary, then this character is just a single word, and the other parts have been missing.

And this word, I don’t know if the old god who originally created this altar left a trace of strength behind because of his slippery hands. He still exists and has not disappeared because of his arrival.

After converting it into words they can understand, the word corresponding to this mantra should be "chuan".

[Did mantras like ‘teleport’ originally written on this altar? 】

An idea flashed across his mind and he decided to give it a try.

The next second, that ancient note came out of his mouth...

【pass】

At that moment, he vaguely felt a subtle energy fluctuation, but it quickly stopped.

After getting the result, Zhou Xu exhaled a long breath.

[This is probably because this mantra is incomplete. A complete mantra is needed to exert the corresponding power.]
