Chapter 1505: Chapter 490: On the Necessity of Assaulting the Mountain and Destroying the Temple_3

Brother Ni shivered, feeling as if those owls behind them were staring at them, even with the optical simulation on, it felt like a thorn in his back.

"Really a bunch of filthy things."

Ruzuo asked

"Want to go over and take a look?"

"Better not."

Kles’s prosthetic eye rotated, switching filters, red light filled the front, densely packed that even a micro drone might not bypass it.

"There are laser sensors everywhere here, I can’t guarantee that optical simulation will keep us hidden, if exposed, we’re finished."

"No need to check, I roughly know what’s there."

New Dynasty Elegance said on the channel

"That stone plate probably contains some ashes, and if you’re unlucky, you might see some greasy residue, all remnants of sacrificial offerings being burned."

Brother Ni tried to ask

"Sacrificial offerings... what are they?"

"Who knows."

New Dynasty Elegance played coy

"Maybe it’s some clothes or specially made ritual components, if saying that makes you feel better."

Everyone tacitly stopped asking deeply, just feeling that the massive statue was disgusting, they turned back and left this spine-chilling place.

While New Dynasty Elegance kept monitoring the live footage sent by Kles, even though Brother Ni didn’t tell him about the previous sign, New Dynasty Elegance had already guessed what kind of place this was.

That Minerva statue.....exists in reality too, it’s truly distinctive, and there’s only one in the world.

But no one dares to investigate deeply, all seekers or organizations face suppression or even vanish from the world, becoming a part of countless urban legends.

"Tsk....no wonder couldn’t find this thing in California, turned out it was transported here, now it seems what the masters said was true."

New Dynasty Elegance’s heart grew heavier, he caressed the Bible in his hand.

"After all, a crusade against temples is needed now... well... it should be called Crusaders here, heretics and deviants truly deserve to die."

Thinking thus, he filed an application to Horizon Corporation within the system

"Boss, the situation here might be more significant than we thought, we can’t handle it with just a few of us, need more support, as much as possible."

Brother Ni and them left the Bohemian jungle and returned to that junction, heading in another direction.

But everything here felt off, Brother Ni could only use the word eerie to describe what he saw.

Because although there weren’t dense woods or owl statues this way, there were patches of strange plants growing, looking intentionally left as planting areas, which were then divided by colored prayer flags they had once seen.

And at each planting area, New Dynasty Elegance’s voice would ring in their ears

"This is Four-O’Clock Flower."

"This is Asparagus Fern."

"This is Polygonatum."

"This is Tribulus Terrestris."

"This is Angelica Sinensis."

Of course, there were other plants too, but mainly these five.

Though Brother Ni and the others didn’t know much about them, they had heard of the famous Polygonatum and Angelica Sinensis.

Ruzuo curiously asked

"Do foreigners consume traditional medicine?"

Brother Ni nodded

"Indeed, I’ve heard they particularly believe in acupuncture and cupping."

Kles dismissed

"Empirical stuff, tastes horrible."

Brother Ni said speechlessly

"Traditional medicine tasting good would be a miracle."

He was also puzzled about whether these foreigners really need to plant traditional medicine here?

Seemed a bit over-the-top.

Until New Dynasty Elegance spoke

"These five types of traditional medicine are collectively known as Five Flesh in Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, critical components of a ritual."

Leading the way, Ruzuo suddenly stopped, Brother Ni nearly bumped into him.

"What are you doing?"

Ruzuo raised his hand, pointing to the end of the planting area, where a stone stele stood, engraved with a bunch of incomprehensible Tibetan characters, not even recorded by translation systems.

But the focus wasn’t on the stele, rather what was placed on it.

There were three human heads.

Though if it’s just heads, it wouldn’t have made Ruzuo stop, he’d killed eighty if not a hundred people before, heads chopped by his own hands were countless, yet at this moment he felt somewhat nauseous.

Because these heads were placed inverted, the bones starkly exposed like bowls deliberately polished, with eyes forcibly pulled from sockets, wrapped with dried-up, black optic nerve around the ear lobe, the jaws dismantled, and dry tongues piled with sections of brain nerves and hearts.

Three heads in total, arranged in a triangular shape of red, white, and yellow.

Brother Ni saw them clearly, his heart skipped a beat, he blurted out

"Dammit....."

Even Kles was shocked

"What the hell is this?"

"This is called Doma."

New Dynasty Elegance said

"Also known as Five Sense Lotus, comprising taste, sight, hearing, with perception made up of brain and heart, it’s a magic artifact personally made by Tibetan masters, where eyes are extracted alive by pressing human heads with large stones and rope, inducing high cranial pressure until protrusion occurs, only then can optic nerves be ensured long enough, dead nerves don’t have such elasticity."

"Tongues too....."

"Stop! Enough, I’ve just eaten!"

Brother Ni gritted his teeth, halting New Dynasty Elegance, he didn’t want to hear these blasphemous things.

Listening further, he’d be compelled to torch the place down.

Ruzuo was even more furious

"These beasts truly deserve to die, why weren’t they wiped clean in the past?"

"You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, friend."

New Dynasty Elegance sneered

"What you’re seeing here is just the tip of the iceberg, real heavy stuff is still ahead."

"You may as well treat this place like Lion Wave Ridge, an actual forest of corpses in literal sense."
