Chapter 1082: Shen Guang Falls into Colorful Lake

After entering the cave, the initial rock wall is red. Although there is luminous moss to provide light, it doesn’t look very comfortable.

However, after going deeper into the road, the color is no longer a single red. The walls are inlaid with some crystal-like objects, which seem to be naturally generated.

These crystals were artificially carved into various shapes. Chen Chuan discovered that they were very similar to the patterns of gods on the map, and they appeared here again, so they should be the gods of the first people.

As they walked along the way, they saw that almost every crystal stone had a different image of a god, and there were tens of thousands of them densely packed together. It was not difficult to imagine how much manpower and material resources were mobilized at that time.

Just when they were almost at the end of this section of road, they discovered that large areas of crystals had been destroyed and smashed by humans, and in one place an entire wall had been deliberately dug out.

It looked like an ugly scar, with a simple human body outline drawn in charcoal. The lines were extremely simple, with the various parts of the person being drawn as several ovals. The brushstrokes were extremely concise, giving people a primitive and rough feeling, but if you look closely, there is a sense of weirdness. In short, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Some people can't help but ask: "What is this mark?"

Gao Ming took a few glances and compared it with the data he had prepared in advance. He said to Chen Chuan: "Cousin, this should be the mark of the original sect."

"The original sect?"

Most people present were puzzled, but after hearing the words translated by the translator, the faces of several beginners suddenly changed.

Someone noticed their expressions and asked, "Are these people from your First People?"

One of the beginners said angrily: "No, they are a group of demons!"

This was not the first time the one-eyed elder came here. He looked at the scene he had witnessed before and said in a deep voice, "No matter which tribe the Chu People belong to, they will not damage the statues of gods. In the past, a group of foreign demons came here and caused the damage."

The primitive people usually call the people of the Federation "aliens", and only those who come from the evil cults of the Federation are called devils.

Gao Ming said, "Cousin, they are right. Among those who destroyed the Atahoka settlement, there were many members of the original sect. In the central city of Atahoka, this sect is still the mainstream. It has a great influence not only in the central part of the Federation, but also on the East Coast."

Chen Chuan nodded. Before coming, he had read the information provided by the visiting group, which included a description of the original sect.

This sect believes that only the purest flesh can enjoy the purest beauty, so they do not use any implants and advocate self-indulgence and releasing one's own desires. It is said that many elites in the upper echelons of the Federation have secretly joined this sect.

In fact, when he first saw the doctrines here, he always felt a sense of familiarity. He always felt that this sect had some of the meaning of the Natural School. This was most likely a sect founded by a branch of the Natural School.

The natural faction does not pay much attention to integration and advocates releasing nature. Only the country of Dashun has a unified organization. The west coast is already in chaos, so it may be even more abstract.

But we have to admit that any fighter who can reach the upper level among the natural faction is not weak, because they are extreme enough, or extreme enough.

He asked: "Elder Liefeng, how did these people from the primitive sect find this place?"

The one-eyed elder said in a heavy voice, "The last time I came here, the priest told me that there was a traitor among us who joined the devil's camp and brought them in. They wanted to seize the Throat of the Star Spirit and sacrifice the gods worshipped by their ancestors to their evil gods, but the last holy land warriors of our Isutar people died here with them."

He raised his head and said, "In the Throat of the Star Spirit, our gods are watching over us. They can receive the gods' blessings."

Chen Chuan nodded. This place was the same as the situation in Kawatua. Both were located in the holy land of the ancestors of the first people. Each had secret rituals and the blessing of gods, so it was not so easy to be breached.

In fact, when the Quetzaltecs in the East were destroyed, it was because of internal problems that first arose, which is a classic case of letting a wolf into the house.

At this time, someone asked: "Did the traitor die in the end?"

The one-eyed elder shook his head and said, "I don't know. The priest said that his body was not found in the end. It is very likely that it was torn into pieces."

The man asked again: "Since he knows the existence of this place, the traitor must be of high status, right?"

The one-eyed elder said in a deep voice: "He is a warrior from the Holy Land, and was once the warrior with the greatest hope of becoming a Great Divine Guard."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. This place was completely destroyed at least a hundred years ago. If that person really died here, it would be fine. If not, then the subsequent events might not be resolved yet.

An expert in secret rituals came forward to inspect the place and offered to help them remove the mark, but Elder Liefeng and his men refused, believing it to be a disgrace to the Isutar people and that they needed to cleanse themselves.

The people on Dashun's side did not force it.

After a brief stop here, they continued to walk inside.

The next route the one-eyed elder was on was actually a little unclear. He had only been here once when he was young and had made some marks, but after so long, many of the marks had disappeared.

And it's not his fault. First of all, the terrain is too complicated, with one cave connected to another and countless branching routes. Some places are very narrow and you can't see the passage unless you get close. Some places are blocked by dense plants. After decades, it is completely different from what it was at the beginning. Without the correct guidance, it is impossible to find the way.

Normally, they could only rely on luck or disperse to check, but luckily they came with a map this time, and unlike the damaged and destroyed paths outside, the caves here had basically not changed.

After discussing with the one-eyed elder, the team determined the next route to take, but even so, after passing through the caves, most people, except for a few, had lost their sense of direction.

There are some caves on the road that have been blocked artificially, which still need to be cleaned up. This is probably because the people who hid in there wanted to prevent the traitor from finding the right way.

Although the road was winding, many people in the team could still feel that they were going down. According to estimates, they had gone down at least a thousand meters. However, the barometer display had not changed and there was no problem with breathing. This showed that they were in a huge ritual site at the moment, so the surrounding environment was relatively constant.

After walking for two or three hours, they finally walked out of the area full of caves and saw a huge underground space in front of them. The most eye-catching thing was a hot spring lake in the middle. A thin layer of mist floated on the lake, and people could feel the heat from a distance.

Crowds gathered at the edge of the lake, where they could see that the center of the lake was a deep purple, naturally transitioning to royal blue, emerald green and other colors outwards, and finally turning into golden yellow at the edge. The color was extremely transparent, pure and bright.

You can see strange beetles flying here, their wings and shells reflecting various dazzling colors because of the lake water. On the shore, there are also a few small white water birds, which hide away from people when they see them coming.

The rocks outside the lake were covered with the luminous moss that we had seen along the way. The sky looked especially bright, dotted with stars, just like the starry night sky. There was a surging air current here, and gusts of warm wind blew up from everyone, making them feel as if they were back under the sky, immersed in the warm summer.

This kind of wonderful scenery may be hard to see in a lifetime, and everyone couldn't help but look at everything around them.

When Elder Liefeng arrived at the lake, he said with a pious and excited look: "Yes, this is it, the Gem Lake! This is where the old priest brought me!"

He looked again and pointed to one end of the lake, "There, that should be where I came from. There are still the stones I piled up there."

When everyone looked over, they saw that there was indeed a small pile of stones, and in the distance behind it they could see a cave, which seemed to be another entrance or exit.

"I walked to the end here and worshipped my ancestors here. The priest told me that this is the farthest end we can reach. To go further, we need a complete key."

The one-eyed elder took out the pieced-together obsidian spear head, held it in his palm, then knelt down, kowtowed towards the direction of the lake in front of him, and was reluctant to get up.

Everyone waited for a long time and looked around, but nothing happened and they didn't see any changes here.

Chen Chuan didn't notice any mental fluctuations, but he still waited there patiently.

Elder Liefeng finally moved at this time. He stood up from his original position and walked to the edge of the lake. Then he tightly grasped the entire obsidian spear head and threw it hard, throwing it into the lake!
The spear head drew a long arc and finally landed in the circle of purple lake water, splashing water with a splash. Then a strange feeling was generated around. The originally separated colors on the lake surface merged into circles and finally turned into light gold.

At this moment, the fog around was becoming thicker and thicker, and the white water birds nearby were flying up in groups, and then making pleasant sounds.

Elder Liefeng showed excitement on his face, and he shouted, "Follow me!" Then he jumped into the water.

The other beginners followed him into the lake without any hesitation.

At the same time, there seemed to be a slight earthquake on the ground, and both Gluttony and Iron Crow who were waiting here felt it.

Gluttony suddenly licked his lips, with a strange light in his eyes. He stood up under the vigilant gaze of Iron Crow and said in a magnetic voice: "I think it's time for us to set off."
