Chapter 579 Chapter 579 – Entrance
Chen Heng’s original plan for this trip was two months. Apart from the time spent on the road, there was only about a month left to excavate this ruin. Using a month to open this ruin was the original plan.
However, looking at the current situation, it was impossible to complete it. It was still a little difficult to open this ruin in a month’s time. Then, he could only extend the time.
This was also within Chen Heng’s original expectations. At his level, there were too many matters that needed him to deal with in the Hatim Kingdom. There were many things that no one other than him could decide.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Heng could not easily leave the royal palace of the Hatim Kingdom. However, the ruins of the gods were extraordinary after all. It was related to Chen Heng’s future path.
Therefore, there was nothing he could do. Looking at the ruins in front of him, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, he gave an order to let the priests continue to carry out their tasks and try their best to find the entrance to the remains in front of him.
After three months, he finally had some results.
“Found it!”
After three months, most of the features of this ruin were revealed to Chen Heng. Under the relentless excavation of Hedoxili and the others, most of the ruins had already been revealed. Only a small portion had not yet been revealed.
The entrance had also been successfully found under the efforts of many priests, and now it was there.
“Success!”
Orith’s face revealed a look of joy as he looked at the position of the entrance in front of him. At this time, he felt as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
From the bottom of their hearts, the task of exploring the ruins this time was also a huge pressure for them. After all, these were the ruins of a god, and a powerful divine power was hidden in them. For the priests of gods like them, the pressure was very strong. If it weren’t for the divine artifact, the Eye of Nature, and the Legendary existence, Chen Heng, overseeing this place, their work might not have been so smooth and would have been much more troublesome.
Fortunately, they had finally completed their mission. Although they did not directly enter the ruins, it was still huge progress for them to discover the real entrance.
As long as they found the entrance, they could then use the divine artifact, the Eye of Nature, to open it. This would allow them to enter the ruins truly. The other priests in the area thought the same thing, and joy appeared on their faces.
Chen Heng stood where he was, staring at the open golden door in front of him. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.
Under his gaze, the wind and sand rose and fell in the distance. Faint sounds of horse hooves could be heard coming from afar. Chen Heng’s eyes were deep as he looked into the distance. At this moment, he could already feel that strange yet familiar aura.
“It’s coming again…”
He looked not far away. There, Hedoxili’s figure strode over.
“Your majesty.”
Hedoxili walked over from afar. Then, he knelt on one knee in front of Chen Heng and said respectfully, “It’s a group of wandering Centaur tribes. They seem to be here to test the waters.
“From its looks, our recent deployment has already alerted them.”
Hearing Hedoxili’s words, Chen Heng nodded. After all, this was a desert, and it was very close to the Centaur forces. It was fine for a short period, but more and more Centaurs would come to scout as time went on.
Naturally, there was nothing much to say about these Centaurs. They would be taken down as long as they dared to come near. There were thousands of soldiers in the area in front of them, and there was also a high priest like Orson. Ordinary Centaurs could not do anything about it, and they would throw their lives away from one after another.
However, the number of missing Centaurs would increase as time went on. Eventually, it would attract the attention of the surrounding Centaurs, causing them to focus their attention on this area gradually. Although Chen Heng didn’t care about this, it was still a problem.
“Looks like we have to hurry.”
Looking at the strange aura in front of him, Chen Heng said softly, “Otherwise, the next one would probably be the entire Centaur tribe.”
The entire Centaur tribe had at least a thousand people, and there were even official level experts among them. Their strength couldn’t be underestimated. It would be a little troublesome if they came here.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng shook his head. Then, he turned around and continued to look at the ruins in front of him. “Let’s get ready.”
He said softly, “In a few days when the entrance in front of us is completely open, we will go in and take a look.
“Let’s try to end it as soon as possible.”
As Chen Heng’s words fell, the people around him nodded silently and did not express any different opinions. Another three days later, the entrance to the ruins in front of them was opened, revealing the scene inside.
Behind the golden door was a pitch-black scene like an abyss. The darkness that could not be seen made people suffocate at a glance. Looking at the door, the people around volunteered.
“Your majesty, let me go in and explore.”
Hedoxili half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “I will bring out the things inside for you.”
“Our Church is willing to be the first to go in and bring out the god’s corpse for your majesty.”
Orson also spoke with a serious expression. Other than the two, the others also spoke one after another, their eyes filled with eagerness. As priests, they naturally knew the risks in ruins in front of them. This was a ruin set up by a god, and the things in it were all related to gods, which was extremely risky for mortals.
If mortals entered it, they might die directly if they were not careful. However, this could not change their will. Those who could become gods worshipers might have some flaws in their personality, but it was no surprise that they all had firm beliefs and a heart that was not afraid of death.
For them, as long as they could do what was necessary, death was nothing. It was just a process of going to the divine kingdom. Therefore, no one chose to retreat in front of them, nor did they give up.
Everyone stood there, their eyes burning with anticipation at Chen Heng. Under the expectant gazes of the people around him, Chen Heng was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something
Then, he raised his head again. A slight smile appeared on his face as he said softly, “It seems that everyone wants to go in.”
