Chapter 556
Zhang Hao steered the Dragon God, its enormous black figure winding its way forward, causing the ground to tremble slightly and creating a strange whirlwind in its wake.
The group followed behind the Dragon God, their hearts filled with both tension and anticipation, wondering where this mysterious Dragon God would take them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the outline of a temple gradually appeared in front of us.
The temple was shrouded in a thick fog, appearing and disappearing as if it had blended into the surrounding mountains and forests, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
The temple gates were tightly shut, covered with strange runes and patterns that shimmered eerily in the dim light, as if telling ancient stories.
The trees surrounding the temple are tall and twisted, their branches intertwined, forming a natural barrier that isolates the temple from the outside world.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which rustled underfoot, adding to the tranquility and mystery.
Occasionally, the calls of unknown birds echoed through the silent underground, sending chills down one's spine.
Zhang Hao and his men cautiously approached the temple, their eyes fixed on the temple gate, their hands gripping their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
When they arrived at the temple, an ancient and mysterious aura wafted over them, making them shiver.
"This temple looks very unusual, everyone be careful."
Zhang Hao said in a low voice, his eyes revealing vigilance.
Everyone nodded, their hearts pounding involuntarily, a tense atmosphere filling the air.
The dragon god stopped in front of the temple, its body slowly bowing down, its huge head lowered as if paying homage to the temple.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao had an idea. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently beckoned towards the temple gate.
A miraculous thing happened: the temple gates slowly opened, emitting a deep rumbling sound, as if a summons came from ancient times.
The group exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked into the temple.
The temple was dark and quiet, filled with an old, worn atmosphere. A few oil lamps hung on the walls, their flickering light barely illuminating the surroundings.
In the very center of the temple stands a colossal statue. Its face is indistinct, but its enormous size is evident, emanating a powerful sense of oppression.
Around the statue were offerings, including fruit, flowers, and some unidentified items, which were dry, rotten, and emitted a foul odor.
"This statue looks like the Dragon God, and this must be the temple where it is worshipped."
Wu Tianzhen pointed at the statue and said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Their gazes lingered on the statue for a moment before they began to look around.
Just then, Zhang Hao suddenly sensed an unusual aura. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly said:
"Everyone be careful, something seems off about this Dragon God."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the dragon god statue suddenly flashed red light, which grew brighter and brighter, as if it were alive.
Then, the statue's body began to move slowly, emitting a low rumbling sound.
The crowd watched in horror as the dragon god statue slowly moved, and the once quiet temple was instantly filled with a tense atmosphere.
Zhang Hao gripped his weapon tightly, watching the statue's every move warily, pondering what the dragon god's unusual changes meant.
As the statue moved, the surrounding air seemed to thicken, making people feel oppressed and suffocated.
Suddenly, the statue opened its mouth and let out a low roar, filled with anger and resentment.
Immediately afterwards, a plume of black smoke billowed from the statue's mouth, quickly filling the entire temple.
Countless eyes seemed to be flashing in the smoke, sending chills down one's spine.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, took a few steps back, and tried to avoid the eerie smoke.
However, the smoke followed them relentlessly, clinging tightly to them.
"What on earth is going on? Is this dragon god an evil god?"
The fat man cried out in terror, his voice filled with fear.
Zhang Hao frowned. He could sense an evil aura emanating from this dragon god, which was completely different from the dragon gods he knew before.
He slowly walked forward, trying to get closer to the statue and explore its secrets.
Just then, some strange images suddenly appeared in the smoke.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw ancient sacrificial scenes in the picture, with people dressed in strange costumes performing mysterious rituals around the dragon god statue.
Their faces were filled with fervor and awe, and they were muttering incantations as if they were praying to the dragon god for something.
As the scenes shifted, the audience witnessed even more shocking sights.
They saw the dragon god devouring humans and other creatures, its blood staining the earth red;
Seeing people living in misery under the rule of the dragon god, filled with despair and fear;
They also saw some mysterious symbols and patterns that seemed to contain some kind of powerful force, but they could not understand their meaning.
"This dragon god is indeed an evil god; this temple is dedicated to it!"
Wu Tianzhen said in horror, his voice trembling, clearly terrified by the scene before him.
The crowd's faces turned grim; they hadn't expected to have stumbled into a temple dedicated to an evil god.
They were filled with fear and confusion, unsure of what to do next.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that now was not the time to be afraid; they had to find a way to get out of there as soon as possible.
However, just as he turned around to call everyone to leave, he suddenly discovered that the temple gate had been closed at some point, and no matter how hard they pushed, they could not open it.
"Oh no, we're trapped!"
"Xie Xiaohua called out anxiously, a hint of panic in her eyes."
A chill ran through everyone as they realized they were in a huge predicament.
They searched everywhere for an exit, but found that the walls of the temple had no doors or windows, as if it were a closed cage.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Zhang Hao suddenly noticed some strange marks on the wall.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the marks were actually words and patterns.
The text and images looked very ancient, like an ancient language, but he couldn't decipher them.
"Everyone, come and take a look. These words and pictures might tell us how to get out."
Zhang Hao shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.
They carefully examined the text and patterns on the wall, trying to find some clues.
However, these words and patterns were so obscure and difficult to understand that they couldn't figure them out even after looking at them for a long time.
Just when everyone felt helpless, the fat man suddenly shouted:
I think I've discovered something!
Everyone immediately looked at the fat man, who pointed to a pattern and excitedly said:
“Look, this pattern is very similar to the pattern on the murals we saw in the cave before. Maybe there is some connection between them.”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to observe carefully.
After comparing them, they found that the fat man was right; the pattern was indeed very similar to one on the mural.
They recalled the contents of the murals, which contained clues about ancient gods. Could there be a secret related to ancient gods hidden here as well?
