Chapter 55 Nightmare?

The trail cuts through a canyon and is very quiet. Only the sound of the wind blowing over the mountain wall and the gurgling sound of the water after the ice and snow melted can be heard.

Probably because this place is near the ice sheet and the environment is harsh. There are no trees and flowers on the ground, only some moss stubbornly grows on the stones.

After walking along this gravel road for about ten minutes, after turning a big bend, an open space appeared in front of me.

In the middle of the open space, there is an altar made of three layers of stone, with runes carved on it. In the distance, several oddly-shaped peaks stood there.

Ryan took out the treasure map and found that the terrain of this place was basically the same as the treasure map. And this vacant lot is where the red cross is drawn.

But what is this treasure map supposed to say? Someone can't be joking, right? But if there is a secret, it will not be so easy to find. After all, it can be seen from the traces on this treasure map that the thief should often touch this treasure map. It is likely that he has looked for it here several times.

Since the place where the cross was drawn was this open space, Ryan decided to start his search from here. At first glance he saw a large wooden sign nailed to the mountain wall.

The altar was introduced on the sign, saying that the altar was over 1,000 years old. The text above describes the eulogy of ancient Viking wizards praising all things in nature.

All natural things? This is rare. The ancient Viking wizards were more concerned with things like thunder, lightning, storms, and even human enhancement. There were not many studies related to natural things, which might be a breakthrough point.

Thinking of this, Ryan took out a bunch of plants from his shop and placed them around, and then began to communicate with the plants.

There are some happy feelings from the plants. It seems that the environment of this place should be quite suitable for the life of various creatures. Ryan himself could also feel that the whole person seemed to be a little more relaxed here.

It's just that Ryan's enhanced sixth sense always feels that there is something wrong with this place, and it shouldn't be as peaceful as it seems.

Taking a detour to the back of the altar, Ryan found a small mound here. The sign next to it said that this was the place where the bodies were buried after the human sacrifice.

This is why when Lane was chatting with others on the commercial street before, everyone told why so many people came to study.

At least in the wizarding world, the release of some ancient magic does sometimes require human life as a sacrifice. However, if it is magic related to all things in nature, there has never been a magic that uses people as sacrifices. This altar is because of this weirdness, so there are many wizard investigations to investigate.

Lane spent more than half an hour checking the place, but found nothing. And the plants probed the underground and found nothing strange except the human bones in the sacrifice pit.

This made Ryan a little frustrated, but considering that there are so many famous great wizards who can't see anything, it should be normal for a little wizard who has only learned magic for a year to not see anything.

If you think in a good direction, at least this time you have completed an adventure, and you can brag to your classmates when you go back. Thinking of this, Ryan was relieved.

Because of the adventure today, Ryan got up early, and he was busy without stopping after waking up. So now that he is in a relaxed mood, he feels a wave of drowsiness hit his brain.

Anyway, the guide map did not say that there is any danger in this place, and it can even be said that there are not many creatures in this place. In this case, it is definitely a good idea to sleep on the ground in this place. Thinking of this, he became more and more sleepy and immediately took action.

He retreated to the path, took out a large pile of plants and set up a warning circle around him. Take out the sunshine crystals and soak them in the water to provide warmth. After everything was ready, Ryan took out a sleeping bag and got in in a corner sheltered from the wind, and fell asleep shortly after (there was sun in the open space, but there were bones buried in the ground, so I didn't dare to sleep there).

As soon as he fell asleep, Ryan realized that something was wrong, and he seemed to have left his original position.

Because he found that although he was lying on this sheltered place, all the surrounding plants had disappeared. Turning his head, Ryan was surprised to find that there was a trace of blood-colored mist in the air, and a smell of rust came from his nostrils.

Finding that the situation was not right, Ryan got up from the sleeping bag nervously. Only after he stood up did he realize that his body had recovered to his 20-year-old appearance. Could this be a dream? But it's too real.

Lane thought he might be in big trouble. It is very likely that you have fallen into the trap yourself in the first place. After all, according to his habit, under normal circumstances, he would not choose to sleep outdoors without preparation.

Fortunately, the Wanjie grocery store was only strongly disturbed and judged that Ryan was in a fighting state. Although Ryan cannot enter the Myriad Realm grocery store for refuge, but he can take out things from it.

Ryan began to summon plants, but found that the ones summoned were not plants at all, but small green light spots one after another. When these small light spots were attached to Ryan, he found that he could actually use the skills of these plants.

What the hell is this place? Ryan felt weird from the bottom of his heart. However, with the power of the system as the backing, Ryan decided to go around to see if there were any clues that could help get out of trouble.

He found that the blood-colored mist was floating in the direction of the clearing, so Ryan held the wand and slowly moved towards the clearing. At the corner, Ryan slowly stuck out half of his head to peek at the state of the clearing. After seeing the situation in the clearing, he couldn't help but take a breath and took a few steps back.

Because he saw that the altar came alive again, and the rune on it began to slowly turn, emitting an ominous blood-colored light. Around this altar, there are more than a dozen black shadows jumping and jumping around the altar, as if doing a sacrifice. There are also a few shadows on the altar, I don't know what they are doing.

After stabilizing his mind, Ryan continued to stick his head out to observe carefully. Only then did he realize that the dancing shadows beside the altar were not the humans he thought they were at all, but some monsters with only human outlines, consisting of some fleshy pieces stuck together with red viscous liquid.

The black shadows on the altar were like mummies, with weird black tattoos on their withered skin, flashing with the rhythm of their kneeling, as if they were breathing.

At this moment, a piercing and strange roar came into Ryan's ears, and a sense of desolation came upon him. With the roar, blood lines flew out from the monsters under the altar and flew to the middle of the circle of mummies on the altar, forming an ominous blood-red sphere.

Finally, with a ping sound, a black-red flame rose from the blood-colored ball. The blood-red mist around him became even thicker.

There was a voice in Ryan's heart telling him that he should go out now to stop this nightmare from continuing, otherwise there may be very bad results later.
