Chapter 165 The Nameless Temple
The depth of the pit was far beyond Paladin and Lilith's imagination. Paladin only felt that he seemed to have been falling for five minutes! When he was gradually recovering from despair and tension. A soft and cold thing instantly enveloped Paladin, including his rapidly falling body.
Wow! There was a violent sound of falling into the water. Paladin fell into a pool. The water in the pool was immediately dyed red with Paladin's blood. Paladin, who was in a daze, surfaced, but felt that all the joints and bones in his body, and his internal organs had been broken and bleeding. If an ordinary person were injured like this, he would die in an instant without even feeling pain. But to Paladin, this is nothing more than a superficial wound.
His elements are frantically repairing the damaged body at this moment. Bones and muscles, meridians and blood vessels heal and restructure. Not long after, Paladin suddenly shook his body and swam to the shore. Water-soaked shoes stepped on the soft sand. Feel the dry touch of the sand. "Hoo, ho, ho..." Paladin gasped for air. There was darkness in front of him, and there was no light to illuminate him. He didn't know where this place was. "Maybe it's the underground river that some explorers call it." Paladin explained himself blankly. I touched my body and found that it was still fine and my body was fully recovered. Although three hundred elements were consumed.
Raising his head, Paladin looked up at the place where he fell. The exit was only as small as a dot among the stars. I sniffed the smell in the air gently. I couldn't say it smelled good, but it had something decadent and weird. Paladin waved his hand, and a ball of light immediately floated around him. The golden light emitted illuminated the surroundings. You can vaguely see things nearby.
I moved my feet slightly, and then the light came on and I saw that the ground was really sand. But it was like sand dyed by ink splashes, showing a strange black color. It's as deep as iron sand. Glancing back, I saw the leaving pool. Surprisingly, the water in the pool is very clear. It is as transparent as a mirror, showing the gravel and sand at the bottom of the water with clearly visible textures. No living thing can survive in such clear water.
"Damn elves, how dare you put me in such a situation! When I get out, you must become a legend among your elves!" Paladin said, staring fiercely at the exit above his head. But he can only accept the fact that he is temporarily trapped in this extremely deep hole and cannot get out. But fortunately, Paladin doesn't have to worry about food and other issues now. The only thing needed is a ray of sunshine. Although the exit seemed to be only the size of a star, and the amount of sunlight shining down was pitiful, it was still enough to keep Paladin alive.
With a slight sigh, Paladin turned the light ball and began to explore this strange place. Smooth stones, a large expanse of black sand, and even stalactites that have survived countless years of testing can be seen on some rock walls. Teeth as long as the earth are densely packed in this dark mouth. Step by step, stepping on the soft sand, Paladin walked in this pothole. Obviously, the bottom of the pit is much larger than the entrance.
Paladin has been strolling for nearly an hour, but what is shown in front of him, apart from the still boundless darkness and the same old black sand, is only an increasingly wider space. Paladin can even guarantee that the distance he walks now is enough to walk around Adli! But from the time we set out from the pool to now, there was still only boundless sand. Is this a pothole? Rather than saying it is a pothole, it is more appropriate to say it is an underground world that has been forgotten by the world.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Suddenly at this moment, in the darkness in front of him, there was a faint whirring sound. What followed closely was a slight cool breeze! "Hmm!" Paladin's eyes widened, because in the darkness, the weakness of the Almighty Eye that could not be opened prevented him from sensing what was in front of him. But this cool breeze! It still makes Paladin subconsciously think that there must be an exit ahead! The somewhat happy Paladin immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the whirring sound. But leaving behind rows of footprints on the sand, he ignored one fact. If there really is an exit, then why doesn't the wind blowing have any smell of grass or earth? Instead, it was filled with the smell of decay and rust. …,
Soon, the so-called exit appeared in front of Paladin's eyes. Lift the light ball next to you. Paladin looked at the giant thing in front of him, his mouth opened in shock and speechless.
The light reflected from the pitch-black unknown metal, the twenty-meter tall pillars, the closed black stone door, without any decoration or carvings! Towering in front of Paladin's eyes was a huge, dark, primitive temple! "Temple...Why is there such a temple under the forest where the elves have lived for generations? It seems that even the elves don't know about this place."
Paladin approached the temple step by step. What was strange was that although it was a tall stone door that was closed tightly, there was indeed a breeze blowing from the stone door! Paladin carefully stepped onto the black steps and walked forward slowly and cautiously. When he came to the stone gate where he needed to look up to see the whole thing, he discovered something strange. Such a temple does not have any coat of arms or statues of gods enshrined!
For example, the coat of arms of Enos, the god of light and justice that humans believe in, is a cross. Jacono, goddess of nature and earth. He is also the main god believed by the elves, and his coat of arms is a golden leaf. No matter what the temple is, there will always be coats of arms and statues of gods. At least there will be corresponding murals and decorations! As for this temple, apart from looking like a temple, other things make it unbelievable that a god is enshrined here!
Taking a deep swallow of saliva, Paladin also realized that this was the end. Because there is a stone wall behind the temple, there is no way to go. Without hesitation, Paladin took off the glove on his right hand, showed his crystallized hand, and gently touched the surface of the stone door. "Boom!" Paladin, who had just felt the coldness of his tentacles, heard a sudden bang from the stone door, which frightened the former and immediately took a few steps back to be alert. But the Shimen didn't care about the intruder at all. The dust that had been covered in dust for countless years fell from above. The Shimen, which was even less impressive than the Green Fortress, suddenly opened! The moment the stone door opened, the breeze suddenly stopped.
Silence, suddenly, a silence that makes people feel like in a dream surrounds Paladin. Paladin glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no danger, he finally raised his feet and stepped into the temple.
In the dark temple, you can't see anything. Paladin took a few cautious steps when the stone door that opened behind him suddenly closed with a bang at a speed that was completely disproportionate to its opening! "What's going on! Is anyone here...is anyone here!"
The hair on Paladin's body stood up and he turned around quickly to take a look. But saw the stone door closed again. Suspecting someone, Paladin immediately yelled. But the response he got was his own scream that echoed. suddenly! Paladin raised his brows. He saw that there were uneven lines on the other side of the closed stone door! With a wave of his hand, the ball of light floated upward. The lines on the surface of the stone door are immediately visible! As Paladin watched all this, the pupils of his eyes immediately shrank violently! The face that was dull due to shock was full of disbelief! After a long while, he seemed to have regained his temper and murmured: "You're not kidding me..."
Because at this moment, the stone slab standing in front of Paladin, the huge stone slab that was originally hidden in the temple, is not a pattern at all, but a large set of murals!
If it were a mural, it would be fine. It was precisely on this mural that there was a long-haired man wearing a robe and holding a staff! There is not much else, the key is that on the forehead of this long-haired man, there is a horizontal eye suspended on the forehead! The Almighty Eye!
