Chapter 176 Altar
The Black Scorpion King's Tomb is located deep within Black Rock Cliff. The tomb chamber is buried underground and is difficult to enter without special means. The only thing exposed is a specially made large altar.
Therefore, apart from sweeping the tombs and paying respects each year, the descendants of the Black Scorpion family basically do nothing else.
Of course, the discovery of relics that only occurs once every ten years is a different story.
"finally reached!"
The man with the nose ring plopped down on the ground. For a weakling like him, navigating this treacherous valley was quite a challenge.
Although their team had a large number of members, they also attracted a lot of monsters, so their journey was far from peaceful.
White Scorpion ignored the grumbling and calmly approached the central altar. Black Scorpion followed beside him, his eyes full of resentment, like the sullen feeling of being caught being naughty by his parents when he was a child.
White Scorpion pretended not to see it. He was the sole leader of this operation, and he had important matters to attend to. He couldn't afford to waste his energy on such trivial things.
He slowly walked up to the altar, came to the center of the altar, and then reached out his hand to touch the indentation in the center of the altar.
Click~
A strange rune was inlaid into the indentation, and as the rune perfectly fit the indentation of the altar, a tremor sound instantly rang out, and a purple magic circle instantly appeared under the altar, emitting a faint light that enveloped everyone present.
Are you ready to start?
On a rocky cliff not far from the altar, three birds with distinct personalities were staring intently at the group from the Black Scorpion family.
Standing in the middle, clearly leading the group was an eagle. Its sharp eyes were fixed on the group of people, with a scrutinizing look in them.
Beside him stood two vultures, one on each side. The one on the right had a nonchalant expression and simply stared at the crowd with a nodding gaze, just like the eagle.
The one on the left was the same, but compared to the nonchalant expression on the right, his expression was more manic, and he looked at the crowd below as if he were looking at a group of rotting corpses.
The three birds stared intently at the crowd, witnessing the ceremony unfold, but what happened the next second made their pupils shrink.
Pfft!
As the sound of flesh being ripped apart rang out, everyone simultaneously raised their severed arms, blood flowing down their arms onto the magic circle, which immediately shone brightly.
hum~
A burst of light condensed, and six different treasures appeared at the six corners of the altar. This was the Black Scorpion Clan's relic summoning ritual.
After all six relics were revealed, the magic circle shattered, and everyone began to heal the wounds on their hands.
This is the end?
After the entire ceremony ended, the eagle in the distance tilted its head, and as its eagle eyes swept over the six relics, its eyes were immediately filled with a look of loss.
He whispered a few words to the two vultures beside him, and then the three birds were about to flap their wings and leave when suddenly something unexpected happened.
That is.......
Following the eagle's gaze, a large group of people appeared in the valley at some unknown time. Judging from their clothing, most of them should be members of the Emerald Family.
The Emerald Clan and the Black Scorpion Clan have always been at odds, but when faced with a large number of Emerald Clan members who suddenly appeared, the Black Scorpion Clan members did not show any wariness in their eyes. Instead, they showed an expression of expectation.
what happened?
This scene stunned the eagle on the cliff. He couldn't understand why there was no conflict between the two sides in such a sensitive place as the Black Scorpion King's Tomb.
However, the next second, Hawkeye noticed something was wrong; the Emerald group seemed to be in a bad state...
Not quite right?
Their eyes were filled with black energy. They ignored the Black Scorpion Clan members around them and walked numbly straight toward the altar.
The Black Scorpion Clan looked at this scene with mockery in their eyes; clearly, they were not surprised by what had happened.
After all the Emerald Clan members arrived at the altar, the magic circle that had disappeared reappeared. Upon seeing this, the Black Scorpion Clan members tacitly retreated outside the magic circle, watching as it enveloped all the Emerald Clan members.
Gulu~
A wriggling sound reached the ears of everyone present. Suddenly, a strange change occurred at the center of the magic array. The original magic array instantly turned into a huge black pool, which, like a bottomless abyss, began to frantically devour the Emerald Clan members.
As they watched the Emerald Clan members being swallowed by the abyss, the members of the Black Scorpion Clan all let out a sinister laugh.
However, just when they thought things would continue as they were, a sudden change occurred.
The gaze shifts to a girl in the dark pool. Half of her body is submerged in the pool, and despite the perilous situation, her eyes remain closed, showing no signs of waking up.
hum~
Suddenly, the pendant under the girl's collar began to tremble, and as the emerald pendant began to emit light, the entire black pool's engulfing action paused.
However, the black pool only paused for a few seconds. After this brief pause, the black pool surged even more violently, so violently that the water overflowed and rushed outwards.
“What’s going on!!!”
"what happened?"
"Did something go wrong with the ritual?"
Clearly, this sudden change took the Black Scorpion family by surprise, and even White Scorpion couldn't help but furrow his brow beneath his mask.
"Step back!"
As the leader, White Scorpion quickly issued orders. He knew the origin of this black pool; if one got stuck there, it would be utterly disastrous.
But faced with that ferocious black pool, all their methods seemed extremely ineffective.
Suddenly, the black pool unleashed a powerful suction force, instantly pulling the surrounding people in without them even having a chance to struggle. They were submerged in the black pool along with the members of the Emerald Family.
not good!
The eagle, which had been observing from above, suddenly sensed something was wrong. When it saw the black pool erupt, it instinctively tried to escape, but the suction force of the black pool even affected the birds in the sky.
Oops!
Under the powerful suction of the black pool, the three birds were unsurprisingly sucked into the pool.
Gulu~
The Black Pool returned to calm, but it did not disappear; it remained on the altar, still attracting everyone in the valley who possessed obsidian.
