The passage eventually came to an end, and when Du You reached the terminus, he discovered a sacrificial temple ahead. It was a mystery how such a place was constructed, with light seeping in from the outside.
It was clearly an underground location, yet it appeared as bright as if it were above ground, extremely illuminated.
The walls were covered with numerous murals that evoked a sense of the sacred, yet also exuded a sinister and terrifying aura. The entire grand hall was opulent, devoid of any clutter. In the center was a large pond, its contents pitch black.
Without getting any closer, Du You already knew that this must have been some sort of blood sacrificial pool. The dark substance was nothing other than a large amount of dried blood, although it was uncertain how much time had passed since it was last used.
Directly ahead stood a colossal statue, the very image of the Desert Death God.
