This stone altar was ancient and antiquated.
In an instant, a fire flickered to life, illuminating their surroundings. Once their vision had adjusted to the brightness around them, the group could feel their scalps prickle.
Up ahead of this cave was a cliff with a seemingly bottomless abyss. In the distance where the light hardly reached, they could see the outline of something hiding at the border of light and darkness. Whatever it was, it was currently watching He Qian and his group.
When the light first appeared, after everyone got used to the brightness, they found many things around them to be glowing with a faint emerald hue.
The emerald lights weren't stationary but were instead moving at varying speeds and they were most certainly alive.
