An extremely nauseating stench assaulted their senses. Under the effect of Illumination, the two of them could clearly see the scene in front of them. What they saw was a large number of broken corpses piled up on
the floor. Broken limbs, heads, organs, and dried blood were all over the place in the small basement.

It was like purgatory, terrifying and bloody.

Yan Chong stopped at the staircase and didn’t continue walking in. Loli’s fingers danced nimbly as she silently cast two barrier spells on the two of them. Immediately, Yan Chong heaved a sigh of relief. The smell was
really not something an ordinary person could bear. He almost vomited.

“This is the altar node? Is it not constructed properly?” Yan Chong could not help but ask. When he had just arrived at the Endless Mainland, he had already come across something like an altar. Even though the altar
that Richard had set up was simple and crude, it still looked like it.

Strange and evil patterns were carved on the ground. It was only effective with special paint and specific prayers.
“No, it’s already been built,” Loli said gravely, a wave of spiritual force was already scanning the narrow basement several times.

Chi! A blurry corpse on the ground suddenly moved, startling Yan Chong. However, right after that, the corpse broke apart and a small sacrificial altar flew out, floating in the air. It looked like a model of an altar. It was
completely black and only about ten centimeters long and wide. The material looked like wood.

Activate [Reading]:

Name: Herrick’s Altar (1 / 13).

Quality: Extraordinary +9.

2. The higher the intelligence, the greater the value.

3.3/5 /8 / 13 identical altars will be assembled in specific positions, forming Rare Level +1 /+3 /+9 / Epic Level+1 altar.

The top of the altar was wet as though it was stained with blood. However, upon closer inspection, the amount of blood on it was decreasing as though it had been absorbed by the altar.
Loli took out a card with a golden background with dense lines on it.

Name: Seal (Skill Card).

Quality: Rare+2 / One-time use.

Function: Seal the target, causing the target to lose its original function. The duration is inversely proportional to the target’s ability.
Description: Cards from the United Academy of the Western Continent. Retail price: 1999 gold coins.

With a gentle pinch of her fingers, the card shattered into pieces. Immediately, a golden light enveloped the altar.

The sacrificial altar was originally floating quietly in the air, but when the golden light enveloped it, an illusory head suddenly emerged from it. Two streams of blood tears flowed out from its empty eyes, and its mouth
split open as it howled madly.

The strange thing was that the roar of the head did not seem to make any mysterious sound. However, for some reason, a mysterious language drilled into his mind.
When he saw this scene, Yan Chong instantly felt a piercing pain in his head. An impulse to tear his skin apart arose spontaneously, and he hurriedly closed his eyes. As he closed his eyes, the pain gradually lessened.

After a few seconds, Yan Chong slowly opened his eyes and saw that the original altar had disappeared. Replacing it was a card with a golden base in Loli’s hand. On the front was a picture of the altar. This pattern was
not a picture but a watercolor painting. It was a child’s handwriting, but one could recognize what was on it at a glance.

He activated [Reading] again.
ame: Herrick’s Altar (1 / 13) (Item Card).
Quality: Extraordinary +9.
Function: Sealed. Duration: 1 year.
“After sealing it, this altar will lose its original function,” said Yan Chong. “Then, should we seal the other altars too?”

Loli nodded and said, “The other companions of our Revolutionary Army are also looking for these altars. I have just informed the Orcs’ plan through the communication card. Next, we need to keep searching—”

Before she finished speaking, Loli suddenly took out the communication card and stared at the front of the card seriously. A moment later, Loli’s expression changed drastically as she said in panic, “Not good! Quickly
leave this place!”

With that, she turned and ran towards the staircase.

Seeing this, Yan Chong hurriedly followed. “What’s going on?”

“This is a trap!”

“What?”

Boom! A loud explosion came from outside. The entire basement shook. Wood chips fell from the ceiling and the wooden stairs creaked and groaned under their weight.
Bang! Loli violently kicked open the wooden door, and Yan Chong followed closely behind her as they returned to the hall.

“What happened? Where did it explode?”

“I thought that without killing the Orc Chieftain and destroying the altar at the same time, just sealing it wouldn’t attract their attention,” Loli said with an ugly expression.

“However, I neglected the reason why they occupied Dawn Town and sent the small tribes with the strongest strength only in the beginning level of Silver. They should have two plans. The first plan is to sacrifice and
summon the Evil God. The second plan is to use them as bait to achieve other goals without telling these small tribes.”

Yan Chong nodded when he heard this. He recalled that everything seemed too easy. For him, not to mention the Silver rank, even the Bronze rank was a big shot, so he would not think too much about it.

However, for the Orc Alliance, the Chieftains of the smaller tribes were only of the Silver rank, while the Chieftains of the larger tribes were likely of the Gold rank or even Legendary rank. Why didn’t they send a
stronger tribe as vanguards to attack the Maka Empire?

As a result, the Revolutionary Army only had Loli alone in the town, which was enough to crush them.

“If I’m not wrong, they should have transformed the town into a huge altar. All life that dies in the town will be turned into nourishment for the coming ceremony. We need to quickly destroy the critical node on the
altar.”

With that, Loli ran out of the library. However, just as she reached the door, she stopped abruptly.

There was a sea of armed and ferocious Orcs outside. The evening after the rain, the weather should have been refreshing and pleasant, but now it was filled with the oppressive feeling of death.
With a rough glance, there were actually three Gold ranks and ten Silver ranks. What was even more terrifying was that these three Gold rank combat abilities were all At.

“This… We won’t be able to escape?” Yan Chong’s heart tightened. When did these Orcs come here? Could it be?

Suddenly, the silver card that Kane had taken out when he escaped appeared in Yan Chong’s mind—[Dimensional Walk].

“Could it be a teleportation spell?”

He subconsciously looked at [Transcendent Space Traverse]: Cooldown: 18 hours 45 minutes 56 seconds. Then he looked at Loli expectantly. Surely she would have the kind of treasure that would allow them to travel
directly through the distance..
