#99 - Chapter 23: A Big Lump
Liu Yuan knew there must be some treasure inside, something that could even help him increase his strength. After considering it, there weren't many who could truly pose a threat to him. Since he had encountered it, he had to investigate.
He gave the captain instructions, and the troops continued north along the Rhoyne. He told Pylin and the others to maintain their normal marching speed, and he would catch up quickly after dealing with things here. After speaking, he plunged into the river and disappeared in an instant.
Before long, Liu Yuan quickly appeared on the river island that was emitting energy. Upon arriving nearby, he realized that the island was larger than he had imagined, with a large portion submerged underwater. Even so, the part exposed above the water was almost the size of the Red Keep. It was hard to imagine how the Rhoynar were able to create such a glorious civilization a thousand years ago.
Everywhere were collapsed palaces and dome-shaped, pointed towers. Liu Yuan arrived at a relatively intact palace. He could feel that the previous energy had emanated from here. Just as he was thinking this, another wave of energy波动occurred, and this time his senses were even clearer. Walking into the main hall, the scene before him greatly surprised him. There were actually no less than a hundred or so human-shaped sculptures here, with both their faces and human details so lifelike. In the center of the hall was a deep pit that sank into the ground. He slowly walked over and examined it carefully.
Suddenly, Liu Yuan jumped backward violently, drawing his saber in a backhand motion. It turned out that the eyes of a statue not far from him had turned and were staring directly at him.
Mainly because it was a bit scary, Liu Yuan hesitantly used his knife to pick at the statue's clothing. The already brittle fabric of the clothes fell off like plaster from a wall. It turned out that these statues were all grayscale patients, their petrification symptoms were quite severe, and most of them had completely petrified into stone statues.
Liu Yuan had a better vantage point where he was, and after roughly looking around, there were three or four hundred such petrified statues in the entire hall. He sighed helplessly. He really didn't have the ability to save these people. Waving the Miao sword in his hand, the sharp blade pierced their vital points. All he could do was end the pain for these poor people.
Liu Yuan came to the entrance of the cave, and with a flip of his left hand, a burning torch appeared. He threw it in from the entrance, and the torch rolled around, illuminating the surroundings, but it quickly reached the bottom. The cave didn't seem to be deep.
He leaped down, the Miao sword piercing into the stone wall, creating a trail of sparks. Liu Yuan stepped on the cave wall, repeatedly treading on the surrounding cave walls to reduce his sliding speed. He felt that the cave wall was not deep, and he had reached the bottom after descending only about twenty meters.
He took out another torch to illuminate the area. There was very little fog below, and he could clearly see that there were still many human fossils below. However, judging from their clothes and appearance, they were not the same group as those above. The armor of these people was in an ancient style, a bit like the half-body breastplates of the ancient Greeks. They should have existed for a long time.
He carefully observed that the ceiling and walls here were all built of strip stones, and it should be a passage leading to an underground secret room. However, it seemed to have been flooded, and the murals on the walls were already blurred. After careful observation of the layout, the passage here should have been artificially blocked a long time ago. After the palace on the ground suffered a blow, the land above this passage collapsed, allowing this place to see the light of day again.
He continued down the passage for a while, and he felt that it should be a spiraling downward passage. Along the way, he occasionally encountered some human fossils. Soon, he came to a very large space. He threw the torch in his hand with force, hitting the opposite wall far away. "Um, it's about a hundred meters, this place is very big!"
He took out a cylinder from the space and lit it with a torch. "Boom boom boom~" Fireballs spewed out one by one, exploding into flashes of light in mid-air. This world can also make gunpowder, but due to the materials, the explosion effect is extremely poor, but it is still no problem to use it as fireworks. It works surprisingly well here as a substitute for lighting.
Several fireworks happened to land in the lighting brazier, igniting the solidified animal oil inside. Liu Yuan immediately turned his direction, and the fireworks ignited other braziers. Under the light of the fire, he could see the environment clearly. This underground hall was transformed from a karst cave and should be used for sacrifices.
When Liu Yuan set his sights on the sacrificial object in the center, he was immediately dumbfounded. "Damn, what a big lump!" How should I put it? The shape was really shocking, such a big lump of poop, especially the curve at the pointed top, so magical. If this is the treasure, he doesn't want it a bit.
But this big lump is black all over and reflects a glassy, clear luster. Looking at the collapsed stone pillars on one side, this thing should have been supported by these four pillars. In the air. Because one side of the pillar collapsed. That's why it fell to the ground. He walked up to it and looked at it carefully, and picked up the fragments to look at it. Well, it's all made of obsidian. Such a large piece is as big as a three-bedroom apartment, almost a hundred tons in weight. I don’t know how they transported this thing underground.
Feeling the pulse of energy again, Liu Yuan went around to the fallen side, where there was a clear crack. It should be that after this outer shell broke, the energy inside leaked out. Suddenly drawing his knife, the Miao sword struck it with great force, and with a "boom~", a piece of obsidian the size of a soccer ball was chopped off. You must know that this knife was forged by him with Valyrian steel, and it has been forged tens of thousands of times, making it extremely tough and sharp.
Obsidian is a common naturally formed black gemstone, the main component is silicon dioxide, which is actually lava glass. The hardness is also very high, and such a large piece cannot be handled without professional tools. But Liu Yuan, this cheater, is different. He put his hand on the obsidian, and with a "swish~", the room-sized crystal was collected into the space.
In the space, that lump of obsidian fell on the open ground. Obsidian is also a mineral and can be broken down by the system as a material. Like peeling an egg, the thick obsidian shell peels off little by little. It looks like it will take some time, so Liu Yuan took his consciousness out of the space.
Looking around, this should be the place where the Rhoynar performed sacrifices. Near the altar, there were many ancient gold and silver utensils piled up. And in the ear chambers near the hall, there were an astonishing number of coins. The boxes containing the coins had long rotted into ashes. Liu Yuan estimated that these were the wealth left behind during the Rhoynar's heyday. When the Valyrians' dragons destroyed Chroyane, the Rhoynar completely sealed off the underground passage. When Queen Nymeria led the Rhoynar in their great migration, she thought the wealth had been plundered by the Valyrians, so it was kept sealed underground.
It just so happened that he had been spending money like water to support the army recently, so he would unceremoniously accept this money.
