Chapter 89 "Altar of Blood"

Time slowly fell into the night, and the scorching sun faded away the golden flowers and replaced them with a layer of crimson clouds.

The remaining warmth gradually subsided and the sea breeze cooled slightly. The burning oil lamp in the captain's cabin shook slightly. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

"Report to the captain, we have found the altar you mentioned."

Qiao Yang glanced at the sky outside the window and suddenly realized that it was already very late.

Putting down the ancient scripture in his hand, he took a deep breath and rubbed his swollen temples, hoping to relieve the discomfort caused by long-term study. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:

"come in."

At this time, several prompts flashed across the recording panel.

"End of reading!"

"You have successfully read and memorized an extraordinary book..."

"Knowledge transformation in progress..."

"Knowledge +10, Spell Recognition +15."

"You have mastered the spell-like ability - Savage Roar."

"You have obtained the background expertise [Ancient Mystic Apprentice], which makes it easier for you to influence the power from ancient times."

Qiao Yang found that his mastery of the ancient common language had taken another step forward. Now that he mobilized the same power, he could double the actual effect. Although it could not be truly applied in actual combat, it undoubtedly gave him a great advantage. Great confidence.

After solving the matter at the treasure place in the afternoon, he returned to the Black Forest and settled down to read the few ancient scriptures he obtained from the gray treasure chest last time.

Although Qiao Yang directly learned a language with extraordinary power due to achievement rewards, he thought he could smoothly read these ancient scriptures that could gain extraordinary power.

However, the facts gave him a hard blow. No matter which ancient scripture it was, the words written in it were all obscure theories.

Complex formulas, a large amount of text, and different derivative results obtained through different methods of calculation gave him the weird illusion of a primary school student writing advanced math problems.

And not to mention those formula conversions, even the text description part still needs a lot of time for him to interpret the correct meaning. Although this process is shortening the time as his proficiency continues to improve, it cannot withstand the large amount.

If the ancient common language is compared to the modern Mandarin, then the knowledge recorded in the ancient scriptures is classical Chinese. Who knows how much torture he spent this afternoon.

However, his hard work was also richly rewarded. After reading less than a quarter of Book of Power I, he gained a lot of knowledge, a spell-like ability, and a brand new background expertise. According to this In terms of progress, this is still a rare expertise that can be promoted, and the value of these ancient scriptures is much higher than Qiao Yang expected.

"I've met the captain."

Hans and Triller bowed briefly, and then took out a simple map, which was similar to the one drawn by Sisonia, but with a lot more details, which they obviously added later.

"Look here, according to your instructions, we dug about fifteen meters in the second treasure site and found a ruins with traces of sacrifices. Our people tried in advance how to trigger, fire, flood, Bleeding, no matter how I do it, there is no movement, I suspect that the thing may be broken."

Qiao Yang took the map. Not far from the treasure place, a skull mark was drawn on it. Since it was a sketch, there was no accuracy or ruler, but it was definitely understandable, which was enough.

"Let's go take a look first and notify the people to prepare dinner."

"Yes, Captain."

Soon, Qiao Yang arrived at his destination. Fresh soil was piled not far away, and a strong earthy smell wafted in the area.

Looking down, I saw a seven to eight meter deep pit being guarded by the crew. After seeing Qiao Yang arriving, they consciously moved out of the way.

Marquis was also here and asked casually: "Captain, do you need someone to accompany you down?"

"No need, I can just go down by myself."

Qiao Yang waved his hand, and without waiting for a reply, he turned over and fell to the bottom of the pit. With a solid touch on the soles of his feet, the entirety of the ruins was revealed to him at a glance.

At this moment, a unique sound from the endless sea sounded in my ears.

"Tip: You have discovered the special location - the Blood Altar, and unlocked the Wonders Illustration. When the full moon trial is over, the final evaluation level will be improved based on the contents of the Illustration."

This is the second illustrated book that Qiao Yang has unlocked besides the monster illustrated book. At this time, all the information about the Blood Altar has been included in the illustrated book.

"Blood Altar. Ruins" - Description: An altar-shaped ruins left thousands of years ago. Under the erosion of time, this place has long lost its special power, but the magic circle and incantation depicting the altar are still precious knowledge.

Risk: None

The introduction in the illustrated book is very simple, just like the altar at your feet that looks almost completely damaged. Apart from the still intact magic circle and incantation, it has no value anymore.

However, it is not easy to take away this knowledge completely. There are only a few methods. The most direct and the most beneficial is to let a third-level or above spell caster learn it on the spot, and then understand the former caster. the power of.

The second is to use special relic photo stones, which are similar to video recordings, so that the charm of them can be completely preserved.

It is not impossible to use ordinary image stones, but the most you can get is a documentary about the ruins. Without the influence of extraordinary factors, you may not be able to sell even a hundred gold coins, which includes most of the cost of the image stone.

In addition, there is the last method. The captain's professional skills are all-encompassing, including the ability specifically for this situation, called ruin rubbing, which can make a copy of all the valuable information retained in a ruin, and will not If there is any loss of extraordinary factors, this is also one of the major sources of income belonging to the captain.

At this time, Qiao Yang did not master this ability, but he had an opportunity to designate the captain's skills. He had never thought about learning anything before, but now, the time has come to put it to use.

As the number of designated captain skills was consumed, a brand new captain skill appeared on the panel. At the same time, a large amount of knowledge and some special energy emerged in his body, and he successfully mastered the ability to imprint relics.

Without hesitation, Qiao Yang activated the special energy in his body, and a pale white light appeared from the palm of his hand, and with him as the center, it gradually spread to all sides.

After about a dozen breaths, white light completely covered the ruins of the Blood Altar. The next moment, the brilliance burst, and a book as thick as an index finger fell into the hand, and a faint mysterious aura overflowed. This was the most valuable treasure in the ruins.

After flipping through it casually, Qiao Yang's casual eyes gradually became serious. He unexpectedly discovered that the knowledge recorded here actually partially overlapped with the ancient scriptures he had read. However, there was no doubt that the latter was more difficult to read and the knowledge was also limited. More profound.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yang walked around the blood sacrifice altar, studying the functions of the magic circle and the incantation. Four pillars were located in the four directions. Although the stone carving magic circle in the center had been buried for a long time, the texture was still clearly visible.

He has seen similar magic circles in the Power Scroll. The ring-shaped hexagram is mainly used for summoning power. If the magic circle here can be activated, then there is a high probability that a creature not lower than the second level will be summoned, but the specific Where it comes from still needs to be examined.

Suddenly, Qiao Yang discovered an inconspicuous symbol. The main body was an inverted triangle, with an X running through the middle and surrounded by double rings. Such twisted and complex symbols were not uncommon here.

However, Qiao Yang had seen this symbol in the Power Book, which meant a dead vampire. More importantly, after collecting all the information along this symbol, he finally understood the function of this magic circle.

"Use the blood of the Vampires to summon the spirits of blood sacrifices to cause wrathful disasters."

Qiao Yang showed an excited expression. This discovery made him realize that part of the Blood Altar was not completely damaged and could be put back into use after simple repairs.

He thought he could only imprint some rare knowledge, but he didn't expect such a harvest. His mind suddenly became active, and he had a hunch that maybe the Blood Altar was related to that terrifying existence.

Putting away the book in his hand, Qiao Yang climbed up from the bottom of the pit in a few steps and ordered to Marquis:

"Get more people to come over, dig around the altar, and control the hole to a depth of fifteen meters."

"As you wish."

Marquis didn't hesitate at all, turned around and started mobilizing manpower. It is not difficult for a transcendent to create a fifteen-meter pit. That is to say, there are no serious mages in the current fleet, otherwise a fossil will turn into mud. This requirement can be fulfilled.

Looking at the busy people, Qiao Yang called over Ge Rui, who was recovering well, and said to him with a smile:

"I have found a place that can restore your bloodline, but I still need you to make a small contribution. Relax, even if you fail, I will be there to protect you."

The unlucky vampire now looks at Qiao Yang with a shadow, because he realizes that as long as this unpredictable captain appears next to him, he will be unlucky.

"Your will."

Gurry bowed very respectfully, and Hans conveyed Qiao Yang's words after he woke up, so he didn't have too much worry in his heart. It was like this anyway, and it couldn't get worse.

And he also knows his position. Before he provides Qiao Yang with substantial benefits, there is no essential difference between him and those hardworking workers who dare not stop for a moment. At most, Qiao Yang will not kill him directly.
