A call came from the alley, and the young guard blinked, then slowly walked forward, his foot missing.

The very experienced old mercenary behind him immediately turned around and cooperated with the eldest lady A Li to reorganize the three-person battle formation.

"Wait! Uncle!"

After all, Old Tobacco Pipe was experienced. At this time, he knew the importance of obeying orders, so he stopped immediately.

But when he stopped, he also heard the screams of the young guard.

His body was peeled off inch by inch, and the skin, flesh, blood, and bones were disassembled into several distinct groups.

The veteran watched this scene in silence, he could do nothing. This is the cruelty here, human life is really fragile here.

When Lao Yandou heard the screams, he realized that something had happened. He asked, "What happened? Who happened to be in trouble?"

"It's Xiaoxiao." A Li's voice was low, and then she added: "There are only three of us left now, but there are at least a hundred steps waiting for us below. We must not take it lightly anymore, otherwise no one will survive.

go out."

Of course Lao Yandou would not lose his temper at a critical moment, but when he heard that the young guard named Xiaoxiao had an accident, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Continuing downward, the three experienced people soon arrived in front of the altar.

Different from the magnificent altar as imagined, the altar dedicated to the Lord of the Past is actually just a very small shrine. Its shape resembles a miniature temple. There are many golden-armored guards standing at the entrance, but each of them looks different.

It's so small and small that it makes people feel very childish.

But when A Li arrived here, she looked solemn and said: "It's bad, we are late."

Lao Yandou didn't understand. He had never gone down before, so he just stood there silently and motionless.

The old mercenary frowned and said, "I saw a tree."

‘Tree?’ Lao Yandou was stunned: ‘Isn’t it a small shrine?’

A Li then said: "What I saw is also a tree."

Then after the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at the old pipe.

Lao Yandou knew something was wrong. Either these two people were deliberately trying to trouble him, or it was really possible that what he saw was different from the two of them.

Then Old Tobacco suddenly had bad thoughts. He scratched his head and said, "What I saw is also a tree."

A Li was stunned for a moment: "Describe it."

Old Tobacco Pipe: "...well...it's just...a very tall tree."

"What color?" asked the old mercenary.

"Um...white?"

"You hesitated." A Li frowned.

"Isn't that white?"

"Don't you know it yourself?" The old mercenary had already guessed that Old Tobacco was lying. He said in a deep voice: "Brother, what you saw should be a small shrine, right?"

Lao Yandou's eyelids twitched and he asked hurriedly: "Huh? How did you know?"

A Li suddenly looked gloomy and said, "That would be a big trouble... We might all die here."

Lao Yandou suddenly felt his scalp numb, and he asked cautiously: "How do you say it?"

"Those guys who worship the Lord of the Past are a group of freaks who are many times smarter than us. They especially like to experiment and play with space art, so after coming down from the entrance of the altar, we must keep the four of us looking only in one direction.

Make sure they don't get separated, but Xiaoxiao was distracted just now, so he died..." A Li explained in detail.

"Then what?"

"Then there is the altar part. We found the blueprint for this kind of worship consciousness from an ancient book called "Zhalan Ancient Scripture", but in the process of practice, we found the guidance to complete the worship to the Lord of the past to ignite the path of the forerunners.

It's not that easy, they made modifications and used similar methods."

"Similar means? Are you referring to the different altars that the three of us saw?"

"Yes, in fact, there is only one altar, and it is usually the only one. When the four people came down, they all saw the same thing. The ridiculous death alarmed them, so now the rules have changed, and only one person can complete the offering.

, and once it fails, everyone will die." A Li made the rules very clear.

But Lao Yandong was a little confused and asked: "Wait a minute, what exactly are they you are talking about?"

"I don't know." A Li answered simply.

Lao Yandou was stunned: "Ah? I don't know?"

A Li asked in a deep voice: "Is this strange? An ant was trampled to death with someone's boots. Does it make sense for other ants to study who trampled it to death? We are here to complete the sacrifice and maintain the stability of the bunker world.

I’m not here to explore the mysteries of archaeology. Uncle, you’d better stay as alert as possible and learn to manage your curiosity at the same time.”

Lao Yandou was stunned for a moment when A Li said this. Although this metaphor is a bit hurtful, it is indeed very direct and appropriate.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

After thinking about it for a while, A Li said: "The time in the bunker world is out of order, so you may become very old after entering the temple, and of course you may become young and powerful, but no matter what, you will not be what you are now, so

You have to make sure that you can get the tribute as soon as possible after entering."

Old Tobacco Pipe nodded. Although he still has a lot of curiosity and confusion, he has learned to be obedient.

"continue."

"The next steps are very simple. You just need to go through the temple and place the tribute on the altar at the innermost part of the temple." A Li said simply.

But the old pipe doesn't think it's really that simple.

"Your description is a bit similar to putting an elephant in a refrigerator. It's too general. Are you not going to tell me what I will encounter when I walk through the temple?"

"This is random." A Li said: "They are just so unreasonable. I might as well make you think that you only need to open the refrigerator door and put the elephant in."

"Well...it's still a psychological tactic." Lao Yandou laughed, and he didn't know whether this sentence was teasing or self-deprecating.

A Li didn't care about Lao Yantong, she said: "You'd better hurry up, Lao Tong and I are waiting for your good news here."

Lao Yandou took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay then... you can't catch the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you'll be safe. I'll give it a try."

but……

"Well, how should I get in?"

A Li rolled her eyes and said, "Just keep staring at it."

The old pipe-smoker was stunned for a moment and said: ‘Is it that simple?’ When it reached his lips, he swallowed it back. He knew it was that simple.

Space... time... things that humans could only accept to set up and obey at first are actually played out by some mysterious power here. It is simply a naked mockery.

Old Tobacco calmed down his mind, holding the strange pottery jar in one hand and pressing the gun on his waist with the other.

His eyes were focused on the shrine that looked like a temple.

It is really small, but it is also very delicate... It can even be said that it is a bit lifelike. Of course, if it is not so small...

After staring blankly at the shrine for a long time, the little thing in front of him was still so small. Lao Yandou felt that he had been tricked, so he turned around and asked: "I said you..."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Yandou was stunned.

Where is this?

The neatly trimmed fir trees on both sides of the wide avenue paved with white marble stand upright like two rows of tireless loyal guards.

There is also a crystal clear artificial water channel under the metasequoia tree, which is empty and contains no fish or anything like that.

'Oh, is this the space distortion that the young master said? It's interesting...' Lao Tobacco searched his brain and found that he could use it to explain everything he saw now, which was probably the former Taosawa Mingchi and

He briefly talked about "space warp".

However, space warp is a vector acceleration technology based on the existence of space. It is the most cutting-edge space navigation technology that humans can currently master. It is mostly used in pioneer-class exploration starships to open up unknown galaxies.

The place where the old pipe is now is the bonding layer between space and time - the bunker.

As one of the three-dimensional foundations that make up the entity of the universe, the "bunker" is more like a chaotic material realm affected by powerful spiritual power. No one can describe it completely, but it can be determined from some very rare ancient books.

Necrontyrs who have overheard the Whispers of Chaos in their sleep describe the Bunker World as a remnant of the universe before the Big Bang, upon which all reality of time and space depends.

It can basically reproduce how powerful the Shangyuan civilization was before the Big Bang.

But just like A Li said just now, there is no need for ants that are accidentally trampled to death by humans to find out what actually trampled them to death, because the cognitive barrier between them is not something that ants can break. Instead of wasting

If you don't have time to think about a more concrete and greater reality structure, it is better to use your own tentacles to find a safer way.

Taiji City is a group of ants who seem stupid, but have actually found a safe path.

After gathering his thoughts, Lao Yandou was about to walk forward, but he almost tripped over his own pants and fell to the ground.

Only then did he notice that he had turned into what he looked like as a child.

To be specific, he was probably seven or eight years old.

It was still a bit difficult to hold the pottery jar with one hand at this age. The old pipe, which had turned into a small pipe, quickly hugged Ging Jing with both hands. He took a deep breath and laughed at himself: "It's true that the more you live, the less promising you are, and you have turned into a small pipe.

You’re a little brat, I don’t know who is so naughty and thinks it would be fun to do this?”

After muttering to himself, the little pipe began to walk towards the temple not far away.

But when we got to the steps of the temple, the small pipe was a little too big.
