Chapter 153 The Lair Dark Altar
Tang An saw that the roots under his feet had been mixed with the dark red soil, pulsating slightly, and he knew that there was something wrong with the roots.

In other words, the trees around here may not be just simple plants.

They are 'alive'.

The hidden scene of this swamp mill is obviously different from the previous underground manor.

That manor is less open, after all, the scene is limited.

But here, the openness is very high, in other words, there is a lot of freedom.

Tang An now has several options.

One is to directly confront the headless horseman, and even find a way to kill him.

Also, just ignore them and run away. Apart from these two, you can explore other things.

For example, the 'dark altar' that Green and the others mentioned before, or to figure out what these weird tree roots are under their feet.

Different choices may lead to different things being explored.

And Tang An could see clearly that the surrounding fog was emanating from the roots of the trees underground.

Tang An had a choice.

Head-to-head with the Headless Horseman, it's not necessary.

Escaping is not within Tang An's options, and he doesn't know where the Dark Altar is, so the safest way to explore right now is the roots under his feet.

Holding the small bottle of holy water in his hand, Tang An sprinkled some more on the ground.

A stab.

The roots of the tree that were sprayed by the holy water emitted white smoke and then retracted crazily.

After trying several times, Tang An found that in some places, the roots of the tree would shrink back, but in others they would not.

And the roots that retract will eventually shrink in one direction. Tang An feels that he has found the key.

Walking in this direction, Tang An quickly saw a dead tree.

The dead tree was very big, four or five meters high, surrounded by at least four people. The strange thing was, if it was such a big dead tree, Tang An hadn't noticed it at all before.

Those weird tree roots extend from the roots of this dead tree. At a glance, these tree roots may cover hundreds of meters around.

At the root of the dead tree, there is another huge gap at this moment, as if a person's stomach has been thrown away. It is obviously a tree, but the inside is a bit like the internal organs of some kind of creature.

The gap is downward, like a big hole.

At this moment, Tang An suddenly had an idea.

The Headless Horseman, could it be that he came out of here?
Probably.

Tang An looked down, hesitated for a moment, and then recalled the three ghosts.

With the ghost book, recalling the three ghosts was only a matter of an instant, but Vivian obviously couldn't come back all at once.

Tang An knew that Vivienne was extremely strong, especially her keenness, and nothing would happen to her alone.

Thinking of this, Tang An directly followed the gap in the tree hole and drilled down.

The bottom is more spacious than Tang An imagined.

This is a very large underground cave, and the tree hole is just an entrance.

While coming down, Tang An also got a reminder that the degree of exploration has increased, and the degree of exploration has reached 16%.

Sure enough, exploring here is a wise choice.

Exploration says it all.

It's not completely dark here, it can only be said to be dim, but with Tang An's eyesight, it is still possible to see clearly within at least ten meters.

Looking around, countless tree roots hang down from the top of the head, which looks a bit weird, and there is a downward tree hole not far in front.

Walking over to have a look, Tang An saw many horseshoe prints in front of the tree hole.

"Was the Headless Horseman down here before?"

An idea popped up in Tang An's mind.

Continue to move forward, and the space suddenly becomes larger.

Tang An saw that there was an altar leaning against the rock wall in front of him.

The reason why you can tell at a glance that this is an altar is because it has very obvious features, such as strange totems and various mysterious symbols outlined and arranged with blood and some animal furs.

Looking closer, you can see that the altar is not small, with a skull in the middle.

The skull was just placed there. After Tang An approached, the thick and strange candles around him suddenly ignited by themselves.

I believe that these candles can burn for a long time even if they keep burning.

With the light source, it feels even more weird and terrifying than before.

The small flame of the candle brought light, but it also brought shadows at the same time, and as the candle flame swayed and jumped, the surrounding shadows seemed to be alive, twisting and deforming.

Those who are timid here will definitely run away in fright before they can hold on for long.

Tang An is not afraid.

He found that his nerves were being constantly tempered and were as thick as steel bars, but he was not afraid anyway.

It may also be because he had been frightened several times before, and found that as long as the fist is big, no matter what kind of weird thing you are, it will be finished in the end.

Having strength is the last word.

Truth at all times.

Tang An felt that this place should be the dark altar that Green and the others were talking about.

Unexpectedly, I discovered this place by accident.

Looking at the exploration rate, it's 19%.

In other words, the altar is indeed the more important thing in this scene.

At this moment, the three ghosts clearly sensed something and gave Tang An a hint.

The next moment, a tall figure walked over from the other side.

Look carefully, it is Agulus the Sleepless.

"really!"

Tang An knew a long time ago that this guy must have prepared for summoning the Headless Horseman. Since he was prepared, he must have thought of a way out after causing trouble.

This dark altar is so important, there is a high possibility that Agulus the Sleepless is hiding here.

But Tang An felt that if it was him who was plotted against by others, he would definitely escape if he had a chance, and he would not stay here.

Under the dim candlelight, Agulus the Sleepless had an extremely hideous and terrifying expression.

He obviously wanted to do it.

But the next moment, he stopped.

Because he saw three ghosts appearing around Tang An.

The female ghost and the ghost swordsman, Agulus the Sleepless did not know each other, but the singer of doom belongs to a very famous "strange legend" in this world, so after seeing the black doom, Agulus the Sleepless looked very ugly .

Tang An smiled.

This guy is powerful, but he is even more powerful.

I'm not even afraid of the Headless Horseman, what kind of waves can you, an Agulus, make.

"Do it!" Tang An had the upper hand, fearing that he would be a bird, so he immediately ordered the ghost to attack, and Agulus, the sleepless man, said immediately, "Wait a minute."

Tang An called the ghost back and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"I made a mistake. You are a strong man, even stronger than that guy Green. Let's join forces. There is a headless horseman outside. Green and the others are not opponents. They may have been killed. The Dark Altar will be opened soon. Five I will give you three opportunities to sacrifice, but I will only use them twice."

Agulus the Sleepless began to woo Tang An.
