348: Ancient altar

Bi Yao held Su Han tightly, her body trembling slightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Han gently patted her back, trying to soothe her emotions, but his gaze never left the stone platform emitting a faint green light.

At this moment, the runes on the stone platform still flickered, as if narrating an ancient and mysterious story.

The green light in the central depression, though no longer as dazzling as before, exuded a deeper power, seemingly waiting to be further awakened.

"Bi Yao, why are you here?"

Su Han asked softly, his voice carrying a hint of weariness, but also unable to hide his concern for Bi Yao's safety.

Bi Yao raised her head, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety, "I saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, and I was truly worried, so I followed your trail to find you.

Along the way, I encountered many strange things. The black mist seemed to have consciousness and kept trying to obstruct me."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shiver, as if those terrifying scenes were still before her eyes.

Su Han's heart warmed, but he also felt a sense of dread for Bi Yao's adventurous actions.

He tightened his arms around Bi Yao and said, "It's too dangerous here, you shouldn't have come.

But since you are here, we must be even more careful."

As he spoke, he looked at the stone platform again, his brows furrowed, pondering the secret hidden behind the platform and how to proceed.

Just then, the light of the runes on the stone platform suddenly flickered again, and the frequency increased rapidly.

Su Han and Bi Yao cautiously retreated a few steps, staring intently at the stone platform, unsure what changes would occur next.

They saw the green light slowly rise from the stone platform, condensing into a phantom image in the air.

In the image, an old man wearing ancient robes stood before an ancient altar, murmuring incantations.

In his hand, he held a staff, the tip of which was inlaid with a green glowing gem, echoing the green light on the stone platform.

Su Han and Bi Yao watched this scene in astonishment; they had never seen such a strange sight.

Su Han tried hard to recall the records in ancient texts, attempting to find clues related to the scene before him.

Meanwhile, Bi Yao held tightly onto Su Han's sleeve, her eyes filled with curiosity and fear.

As the old man's incantations grew louder, the green light on the stone platform also intensified.

Suddenly, the old man inserted the staff into the altar, and a powerful beam of light instantly erupted, shaking the entire space.

Su Han and Bi Yao were so shaken by this powerful force that they could barely stand steady. They quickly closed their eyes and shielded their heads with their arms.

When the light gradually dissipated, Su Han slowly opened his eyes and found that the phantom image had disappeared, and an ancient book emitting a faint glow had appeared on the stone platform.

Su Han's heart stirred. He cautiously walked forward and picked up the ancient book.

The cover of the ancient book was made of an unknown material, cold to the touch, and inscribed with strange symbols, as if narrating its antiquity and mystery.

Su Han gently opened the ancient book, and a musty scent wafted towards him.

The text in the ancient book was also something he had never seen before, like some kind of ancient runes.

He tried to decipher these runes but found it extremely difficult.

Bi Yao also leaned over, looking at the text in the ancient book, her eyes full of confusion.

"Su Han, what is written on this?" Bi Yao asked softly.

Su Han shook his head, "I'm not quite sure. These runes are very ancient, I've never seen them before.

However, this must be closely related to this stone platform and the sealed Monster."

As he spoke, he continued to carefully study the runes in the ancient book, trying to find a clue.

Just as Su Han was focused on studying the ancient book, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

In the originally quiet forest, a strange sound suddenly came, as if countless creatures were crawling. (End of Chapter)
