To Ye Feng's and the others' surprise, the cliff was indeed very high, with clouds and mist halfway up, but there were no monsters, and it was as quiet as the ground below.
Because they had to go around the cloud layer, they spent some time observing the cliff along the way. By the time everyone reached the top of the cliff, it was already an hour later.
"Big Brother, it's so high here, and the scenery is really beautiful!"
As soon as she stepped off the helicopter and stood at the edge of the cliff, she saw the somewhat setting sun, and the clouds rolling and unfurling below, and Xiao Xiao sighed in admiration.
"It's indeed beautiful!"
Ye Feng nodded. He actually quite liked such beautiful scenery.
After all, where he lived before, it wasn't that there wasn't such beautiful scenery, but every time they went to tourist attractions, they were crowded, making it difficult to appreciate such pure beauty...
"Ye Feng, look over there!"
At this moment, Xue Yuli's voice reached Ye Feng's ears.
Ye Feng turned his head and looked in the direction Xue Yuli was pointing, and found a very dilapidated, ancient-looking, and somewhat small building there.
"It looks like a temple... Is that where the peculiar water-attribute arcane energy you sensed is coming from?"
Ye Feng observed for a moment and then asked Xue Yuli.
"Mm!"
Xue Yuli nodded, her tone quite excited, "Not only water-attribute arcane energy, but also wood-attribute arcane energy, which is also quite special!"
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Si Shan.
"Indeed, the wood-attribute and water-attribute arcane energies emanating from the temple are indeed different from ordinary arcane energies!"
Jiang Si Shan narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Ye Feng, be careful, this temple seems a bit off!"
Jiang Si Shan added at the end.
"Off? What's wrong?"
Seeing Jiang Si Shan's serious expression, Ye Feng frowned.
"Look at the layout of the temple. It extends in four directions, with eaves curling downwards, forming a confrontational posture. The main gate faces east... It can be illuminated by the sun from sunrise to the last moment of sunset!"
"Moreover, the pillars, bases, and eaves of the temple are all carved with strange runes... as if to suppress something..."
Jiang Si Shan quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"This... runes?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the strange patterns he had seen on some stones at the bottom of the cliff.
"Ye Feng, I plan to go and see. If you have any concerns, you can wait here!"
"Or you can leave too!"
At this moment, Xue Yuli spoke to Ye Feng.
It could be heard that her tone was a bit anxious, after all, this was related to the Regenerating Wood... which she had been searching for twenty years...
"I'll follow Big Brother. Wherever Big Brother goes, I'll go!"
As Xue Yuli's words fell, Xiao Xiao spoke up, her tone very firm.
"I plan to go and see too. What about you?"
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Si Shan with a questioning gaze.
"With you!"
Jiang Si Shan replied without much hesitation.
In fact, he had only analyzed it just now to make everyone more vigilant, not to stop Ye Feng from entering the temple...
Afterward, Ye Feng and the other three walked towards the temple. Everyone's expression was quite serious, and Xiao Xiao's hands were already gripping her small pistol.
"Grind~ hiss~! Clang~!"
The temple had clearly not been visited by anyone for a long time. It was overgrown with moss, and the wooden door was very stiff to push open. After the four of them pushed the door open, they slowly walked in.
"Cough cough! ~cough~"
The dust that scattered as the temple door was pushed open made Jiang Si Shan cough involuntarily.
"This temple is very strange... The roof has a big hole... It looks like it was blown off by something... and there are many spiderwebs..."
"There are signs of human habitation... things are scattered all over the place, as if the people who left were in a great hurry..."
Jiang Si Shan observed his surroundings and spoke.
"Big Brother, be careful behind you!"
"It's a big monster!"
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao's anxious voice rang out.
As soon as Xiao Xiao spoke, Ye Feng had already reacted. The Glock 18 in his hand was already pointed behind him, but it was still too late. A dazzling white light had already pierced through his back.
"Ye Feng!"
"Ye Feng!"
Seeing this, Jiang Si Shan and Xue Yuli's faces changed greatly. They flashed to Ye Feng's side, concerned.
"Big Brother, how are you? Are you injured?"
Xiao Xiao also ran to Ye Feng's side, on guard, and asked with concern.
"I... I'm fine..."
Ye Feng touched his chest and checked carefully, saying, "That white light just now seemed to be just an afterimage!"
"Afterimage?"
Jiang Si Shan was a little confused.
"Big Brother, look over there, the paintings on the wall have moved!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao pointed in a direction and said to Ye Feng.
"Paintings?"
Ye Feng followed the direction Xiao Xiao pointed and immediately noticed that as the temple door was pushed open, sunlight shone on the walls of the temple.
Instantly, shadows appeared. The white sword light just now was one of them. The light and shadow intertwined, quickly forming a huge three-dimensional projection image around the four of them.
"Whoosh~"
"Kill!"
"Hmph, a bunch of insects, crush them!"
"Legion of Hell, awaken from the abyss!"
"For the glory of Hades!"
"For hell!"
...
As soon as the three-dimensional projection image formed, Ye Feng and the others heard shouts of killing, gunfire, and monster roars from all directions...
"Big Brother, there seems to be an angel over there~!"
After the initial surprise, Xiao Xiao pointed to a location in the light and shadow.
"Cer... Cerberus..."
"Is that... human? With wings? Withstanding bullets with their flesh?"
"What monster is that, tearing a tank in half..."
"That terrain looks a bit familiar! It's where we were just now, with a lot of bones!"
"And that monster, I just saw a mountain-sized skeleton, it should be its!"
...
After Ye Feng and the other three discussed, they looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
"This... a fierce battle once occurred here between humans and monsters..."
"Humans, with a large number of firearms and cannons, were almost powerless against the monsters that emerged from the underground... The situation quickly deteriorated..."
"Later, with the mediation of human powerhouses?... the Feather Clan participated in the battle... but in the end, they could not resist the Legion of Hell..."
"After a long time, we learned that those monsters came from hell... belonging to Hades, the God of the Underworld... a true deity..."
At this moment, Jiang Si Shan's intermittent voice sounded.
"Si Shan, do you recognize the tadpole-like writing on the temple walls?"
Ye Feng looked at Jiang Si Shan, who was muttering continuously, with some confusion. He had also seen the tadpole-like writing on the temple walls just now, but he didn't recognize it at all.
"This is a type of arcane rune, a basic rune, used to record some relatively simple information. I learned it when I was a child!"
"I didn't recognize it just now. Now that the light has filled in the missing parts of these runes, I can recognize it!"
After speaking, Jiang Si Shan looked at Ye Feng with a serious expression, "Ye Feng, we may have come to a remarkable place!"
