Six Ring Wizard

Chapter 370 Murals
  Herage walked down the passage, and he found that the land here had slowly turned into a normal khaki color.

In places close to the ground, the soil is dark black.

It seems that the pollution has not penetrated that deep. The soil is normal after about [-] to [-] meters underground.

This depth should only be used as a reference, and the degree of soil pollution in different places should be different.

Herage observed the traces on the walls and ground of the passage, and could see that no one had been here for a long time, and there were no traces of small animals crawling.

"Why is this passage so long..."

Herage had been walking down the passage for a full eight hours, and it seemed that he hadn't reached the end yet.

He even doubted whether this passage led directly to the center of the earth.

Since the surroundings are similar everywhere and there is no reference point, I don’t know where I am now.

The passage is winding with twists and turns, and the slope is very gentle. It is not a straight line going straight down.

So while Herage was going down, he was actually going forward.

Herague now no longer knows exactly where he is, and he may have touched the bottom of the Land of Dawn.

There was only one road in this passage, and Herage didn't even encounter a fork in the road.

The more Herage walked, the more he felt that this passage was not simple. It was impossible to turn back at this time, so he simply continued walking to see what was at the end of the passage.

He took out some bacon and drinking water from the space ring, ate it in a few mouthfuls, drank some water, and then continued on his way.

……

Two days later.

If the scene in front of him hadn't finally changed, Herage would have doubted whether he had entered some cyclic space and why he couldn't get out.

For two whole days, Herage kept walking in this passage.

The passage was always dark and silent, and no other monsters were encountered.

Herage was originally worried about whether he would encounter the giant insect that attacked him before, but now it seems that he was overly worried.

If there were that kind of giant insect activity around here, this passage would not be able to remain so intact and would have been destroyed long ago.

Not only did he not encounter the giant insects that can travel quickly underground, he didn't even see an earthworm along the way.

In Herage's mind, a red line snaked. This was the route he asked Deep Blue to record.

The journey along the way is generally downward, and at the same time it is also moving towards the east.

It now appears that he is already deep underground, and judging from the horizontal distance, he is currently located far east of the Great Rift Canyon.

However, this map may not be correct. If the sense of direction is disturbed due to certain factors, the route map drawn will be wrong.

Herage felt that this route map was most likely wrong, or that the distance in this passage could not be calculated according to normal feelings.

Because he has gone too far down, but after walking so far, the surrounding soil layers are almost exactly the same, which is a bit unreasonable.

Herage thought that this place was indeed a little weird, and he probably didn't actually go that deep underground.

But the journey along the way is real, and there are no repetitive sections on the route.

After two days of boring marching, there was finally something different on the wall of the passage.

They were murals that looked like they were left behind countless thousands of years ago, with obvious traces of time.

When Herage looked at this mural, he always felt a little familiar and had a sense of déjà vu.

He looked forward and saw that the mural was very long and stretched forward with no end in sight. Standing at the beginning of the mural, Herage began to observe the content of the mural and try to understand what it meant.

The lines of the mural are very simple, even crude.

But through these simple lines, the painter accurately expressed the story he wanted to tell.

This is a tribe born in the wilderness. The environment is full of dangers, and various powerful beasts emerge in endlessly, posing a huge threat to the tribe.

People in the tribe are often injured and die due to attacks by wild beasts. The tribe's population is getting smaller and smaller, and it is facing a crisis.

Later, a being who was probably a messenger from the gods brought a stone slab to this tribe...

Seeing this, Herage finally understood why it looked so familiar.

He immediately remembered that this mural was exactly the same as the one he saw in the cave in the valley town.

At least the murals I have seen so far are completely consistent with the murals in my memory.

"Is it the same passage?"

Herage looked around and remembered that when he was in the valley town, he also entered a cave and saw the murals on the cave walls.

After he came out of the cave, he disappeared when he returned to the cave. Did he move here?
  Another similarity is that there are spiders outside the two caves. I don't know if there is any connection.

But after carefully comparing the surrounding scenes, it can be confirmed that this is not the cave in the valley town. Only the murals are the same.

Herage was a little surprised as to why there were identical murals in two places so far apart.

He continued walking along the passage, browsing the murals on the walls.

After walking some distance, Herage noticed something different.

The mural here is longer.

The mural in the cave in the valley town has only been partially painted. It only tells how the tribesmen survived by relying on the power in the stone slab.

At that time, it seemed from that mural that the story was over.

But here, the story is not over yet.

After the previous mural, there is a long, long section of mural content.

Herage slowly read the second half of the mural and roughly understood the story told in the second half.

The tribe relied on the power of the stone tablets to quickly develop and grow, becoming the most powerful tribe and thriving for many generations.

Many years later, this tribe has successfully ruled this land, and there is a peaceful and prosperous scene everywhere.

However, demons descend from heaven and kill everyone on sight.

Demons are depicted in various terrifying appearances, and the artist's painting skills are still relatively rough and the lines are simple.

But Herage could feel that what the painter wanted to express was that those demons were powerful and terrifying.

Demons from beyond the sky quickly occupied large areas of land and plundered all the resources they could plunder.

The people on this land, under the leadership of their tribes, have been resisting these invading demons.

However, the gap in strength is too great. The people of the tribe are retreating steadily, and they are about to be completely taken over by the demons.

At this moment, the stone slab emitted a strong light, and all the people of the tribe knelt in front of the stone slab and worshiped.
