Chapter 54: Seeking Seals, Seeking Methods
This surge of heat was so violent, far more intense than any Zhang Yu had encountered before.
He walked all the way to the top of the earthen mound. Standing there, the rushing heat grew even stronger, as if he were standing atop a steaming furnace.
He could even feel his Divine Essence slowly increasing.
He looked around. Judging from the construction of the surrounding bricks and stones, this should have been a Yidi people's altar.
However, he surmised that after occupying this place, the Yidi people had likely used Strange Monsters to worship their own gods as well. The altars belonging to the original natives were probably buried deeper underground now. After all, pushing them down and filling them in was much more convenient than removing what had originally been there—and carried greater religious significance.
That meant the Strange Monster bones offered by both sides had likely been piled together.
He wasn't in a hurry to absorb them. Instead, he descended from the mound, intending to make a rough circuit of the entire ruin first.
Ordinary beasts generally wouldn't come to a place like this, but there was no telling whether something strange and bizarre might have been born here.
The old temple had covered an enormous area. According to records, at its height it could accommodate tens of thousands living and worshipping here, and one might not finish exploring it even in several days. Yet now, judging only by the ruins exposed aboveground, its range was much smaller.
At the same time, he wanted to see whether any place besides the altar mound concealed Source Energy.
But unfortunately, after making the round, he found nothing elsewhere.
He returned to the large mound and once more sensed the heat flowing up from below.
