Chapter 354 Star Tracks?
When Su Han's fingertips touched the stone wall, the flowing runes suddenly exploded like fireflies blown away by the wind.
He instinctively protected Bi Yao behind him, but saw countless points of light condensing into a vortex above their heads, reflecting the dome of the entire hall into a flowing galaxy.
“Look there!”
Biyao's voice was trembling.
To their right, the originally smooth stone wall was dripping down like melted wax, revealing the uneven rock layers behind it.
Su Han noticed something embedded between the rock layers - it was some kind of metal product, the surface covered with moss and cracks, but it glowed with a faint blue luster under the light of the runes.
When Su Han reached out and touched the metal, the entire stone wall suddenly trembled like the roar of a giant beast.
Fine scratches appeared on the metal surface. Those symbols were completely different from the runes they had seen in the hall. They looked more like the bone patterns of some creature.
Bi Yao suddenly covered her temples and staggered back two steps: "Su Han, I heard someone talking."
Su Han hurriedly supported her, only to find that his own temple was also throbbing.
Those sounds did not come from the outside world, but echoed directly in the mind, like the whispers of some ancient language.
He suppressed his dizziness and distinguished the syllables carefully. Suddenly, at a certain moment, he understood the meaning - "The key is at the intersection of the star tracks."
“Star tracks?”
Su Han looked up at the dome. At this time, the flowing light spots had gathered into a complex star map.
He suddenly remembered the "star track lock" recorded in ancient books. Legend has it that some ancient relics would hide the location of the key in the trajectory of the stars.
But the star map at this moment is obviously not a real celestial phenomenon, and the positions of those stars do not match any known celestial phenomena.
Biyao suddenly pointed to a certain location on the star map: "Look, does the arrangement of these stars look like the forest we just passed by?"
Su Han looked carefully and found that the positions of the seven main stars were surprisingly similar to the layout of the woods outside the hall.
Even more amazing was the fact that one of the stars was located directly opposite the bush where they had found the stone. “Is this some kind of mapping?”
Su Han frowned and thought, "Maybe we need to use that stone as a key to find the corresponding position on the star map?"
Before he finished speaking, the stone in his hand suddenly became scorching hot, and patterns similar to the star map appeared on its surface.
When Su Han raised the stone towards the star map, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the top of the stone, outlining complex lines in the void.
The light beam finally stopped at a point on the edge of the star map. Originally, there was nothing there, but as the light beam shone, the shadow of a miniature stone tower gradually emerged.
Su Han noticed that there was a gap at the top of the stone tower, and the shape exactly matched the stone in their hands.
“Looks like we’re going there.”
He gripped the stone tightly and turned to look at the melting stone wall.
At this time, the stone wall had melted into a gap more than one person high, revealing the stone steps extending downward behind it.
There are bronze lampstands every few steps on both sides of the stone steps, and the flames inside are a strange dark green color.
Su Han stepped onto the stone steps first, but heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other behind him.
Looking back, they saw that the melted stone wall was slowly recovering, blocking the way they came.
“It seems we have no choice but to keep moving forward.”
Bi Yao took a deep breath, untied the silver bell in her hair and tied it around her waist.
Su Han noticed the trembling of her fingertips, but did not point it out. He just draped his coat over her shoulders.
The stone steps extended downward for about a hundred steps, and at the end was a door carved from a whole piece of obsidian, with spiral reliefs all over the surface. (End of this chapter)
