Chapter 591 Altar Blood Cave
Qian Qian was startled by the sudden buzzing sound and his whole body froze.
The system panics, [Don't move yet. ]
Everyone on the airship was even more nervous, looking down at the altar from mid-air.
Then they saw waves rippling around the altar, and everyone could only see the ground twisting like ripples but could not see anything else.
Xiao Ying clenched his fists, "Someone come here,"
"Your Majesty," Lin Feng hurriedly stopped her, "The old lady has moved."
Only after being reminded by Lin Feng did Xiao Ying slowly calm down.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw someone not far from the altar digging, but this time her movements were gentle.
[Tongzi, is this speed okay? ]
The system laughed, [Okay, okay, you just need to go slower and it will be fine for now.]
Money money...
He pouted reluctantly, and asked while carefully shoveling, "What was the reason for that sound just now?"
The system was helpless, [It probably has little to do with the shovel you used. ]
[That is to say,] Qian Qian straightened up and looked into the distance, [something happened to the dragon egg nest?]
[It's possible. Just be gentle.]
【All right. 】
Qian Qian accepted his fate and continued to dig carefully.
The midday sun was scorching, Qianqian took out a straw hat from the space and put it on.
She was not someone who would let herself be wronged. She washed her hands, ate lunch, and took a nap before continuing to dig.
After digging carefully for nearly two hours, the shovel in his hand finally touched something hard.
She carefully shoveled the loose soil aside, and a moment later a rectangular stone slab appeared in front of her.
Qian Qian let out a deep breath, [Okay, what should I do now? ]
The system is cautious. [Use a broom to sweep away the loose dirt on top. ]
[Okay] Qianqian cleaned the slab without complaint.
[There is a pattern on it. ]
The pattern on the stone slab is a bird flapping its wings as if about to take off.
The bird's feathers were carved to look lifelike, the only uncomfortable thing was that the bird's ankles were shackled with iron chains.
Qian Qian frowned and looked at it carefully, [Tongzi, you must say that this stone sculpture is not bad. ]
system……
This time he did not speak immediately, and after a while he said, "Qianqian, this is the door to the underground lair."
[This door cannot be opened from the inside. Three keys need to be inserted into the bird's two wings and heart at the same time.]
[They must be inserted at the same time, otherwise the door lock will not open. ]
Money money...
So, where is the key?
The system was very angry, [The key is in the pentagram altar. ]
[However, the altar is already filled with blood, and this stone door cannot be stained with blood. ]
Qian Qian frowned and looked at the pentagram altar again.
From her current perspective, the altar was just a stone pillar half a person's height.
Qian Qian put the shovel and broom into the space and walked closer to the altar to observe carefully, [Tongzi, I have a water pump in my space. ]
system……
[Well, it's possible if you use a water pump. ]
[But that blood is from people with special fates, so it’s hard to handle. ]
Money money...
【Wait, wait a minute. 】
[You mean, more than just Fang Ziqi and Lin Yue were tied up on this altar? ]
[Of course,] the system confirmed Qian Qian's guess, [In order to make the heart-digging scheme come into being, Langyue Palace began to offer sacrifices many years ago.]
Money money...
Take a deep breath, [Should I start drawing blood now? ]
The system said, [There is a small hole on the side of the altar that can be opened to draw blood, but Zhou Mu's blood needs to be dripped in before it can be opened.]
Money money...
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. [Blood again.]
[Eh,] He suddenly remembered and took out the dagger that stabbed Zhou Mu to death from the space, [Will this thing work?]
[If that doesn't work, I still have clothes stained with Zhou Mu's blood. ]
system……
【Can. 】
Qian Qian was happy. Fortunately, she thought the dagger was dirty, so she put it into the static space.
Therefore, at this time, the blood on the dagger was still warm.
Qian Qian dripped the blood from the dagger into the groove indicated by the system and asked, "There is also the blood of the evil dragon on this."
【Is this okay? 】
[It’s okay,] the system said, [This altar mechanism is not yet that precise, as long as we have Zhou Mu’s blood, it will be fine.]
Put Qian Qian in mind and open the small opening for drawing blood.
Instantly, a pungent smell of rust mixed with a strange stench made Qian Qian's wolf spear suffocate, [Ugh, that's not the smell. ]
He complained in his heart, but his hands moved quickly.
A water pump was taken out from the space, and a huge wooden barrel was placed in place.
The work of pumping water, no, drawing blood begins.
Although the speed was very slow, at least the blood accumulated in the altar could be slowly drawn into the wooden barrel.
Qian Qian crossed his arms and waited aside, [Tongzi, what should we do after the blood is drawn? ]
[How should I deal with these things? ]
The system is also in a dilemma. [It would be safer to evaporate the blood, or dry it and then burn it. ]
Qian Qian frowned and nodded, "I understand."
But before that, Qian Qian still felt a little uncomfortable about having to store the blood under the altar into her space.
After a long time, the wooden barrel was filled with money. Qian put the things into the space and took out another wooden barrel.
When the second wooden barrel is two-thirds full, the system reminds, "It's done. The money key is at the bottom of the blood pool on the altar."
Money money...
[You don't want me to dig it out with my hands? ]
He put all the things into the space with a grievance, and made a space in the static space specifically for these things.
Qian Qian still felt sick, [Tongzi, how do I get the key out? ]
The system was very calm, [Qianqian, pry out a piece of the altar stone wall. ]
【This will make it easier for you to retrieve the key. 】
Money money...
[So you really want me to reach out and grab it? ]
system……
【Um, this. 】
Qian Qian was so desperate that he put on several layers of sheepskin gloves and began to pry the stone of the altar closest to the ground.
She was quite strong to begin with, and the stone seal was not very solid, so it didn't take long for the stone to be pried off.
There was another strong fishy smell. Qian Qian frowned and patiently put the stone into the space and took out a pair of extra-long chopsticks.
system……
[No, you still have this thing in your space? ]
[Humph,] Qian Qian is arrogant, [That was when Li Huan wanted to make a super big hot pot, so I personally, cough cough cough cough, that's enough.]
Saying anything about hotpot in front of a bloody hole is an insult to hotpot.
The system helped Qian Qian confirm the location, and Qian Qian quickly fished out the three keys from the bottom of the blood pool on the altar.
The three keys were wrapped in layers of oilcloth. Qian Qian suppressed his nausea and peeled off the wrapping layer by layer.
Three identical copper keys appeared before my eyes. [Oh my god, this is not easy.]
Qianqian cleaned up the scene and put all the things that needed post-processing into the space.
He washed his hands carefully again, then took the key and came to the stone slab.
[Tongzi, do I need to make any preparations here? ]
The system said, [Sorry, I can't eat the melon under the stone slab. ]
Money money...
He took a deep breath, lay flat on the stone slab, and used his hands and feet to press the three keys into the keyholes at the same time.
[Hahaha, luckily the key is big enough, otherwise I would really...]
Before he finished speaking, the stone slab suddenly shook violently.
