Chapter 618: Chapter 434: The Mottled and Hazy Steel Forest_1

And so, with the cautious and slightly ethereal footsteps of the exploration team.

Under the protection of Red Night and the knights.

Leo Ray, Asher, Gael, and old Calvin, along with others, moved forward carefully in the hidden space behind the Statue of the War God in this ancient relic of the Titan Clan.

About ten minutes later, a massive and strange shadow abruptly appeared in front of them.

As they saw this sudden sight.

Their footsteps simultaneously slowed, causing the entire exploration team to come to an immediate halt.

At this point, with the help of the Star Pupil’s night vision effect, Leo Ray squinted his eyes to observe the object in the distance.

This object was about seven or eight meters tall and was obviously much smaller than the Titan War God statue they had just seen.

From the blurry outline, it seemed to be a huge battle axe with its blade plunged downward into the ground.

“Lord Asher, there’s no need to be too nervous.”

Having seen this, Leo Ray nodded at Asher, then moved forward.

Thus, under Leo Ray’s sign, the nearly 200-strong exploration team continued to advance.

As they approached the metallic black axe-like silhouette, Leo Ray noticed.

Just as he had seen earlier, this was indeed a gigantic battle axe with its blade plunged into the ground.

The fully-metal axe, covered in dust, reflected patches of light under the glare of the magic illumination. It was obvious that it had been lying here for quite some time.

Upon closer observation, Leo Ray discovered.

This was a double-edged giant axe. Aside from the blade plunged into the ground.

The other surface, which was already more than half corroded, was densely covered with visibly broken blade marks, filled with various cuts and gaps.

Even the metallic axe handle, which could go shoulder to shoulder with a utility pole, had clearly had a large chunk cut off, showing evidence of a fierce battle.

And needless to say, the seven to eight-meter-long giant axe was obviously a weapon used by the titanic Titan Clan.

Just as Leo Ray saw this.

With the further advance of the exploration team, he discovered, to his amazement.

It turned out that there was more than one of these axeshere plunged into the ground.

At a glance, there were numerous various types of axe heads densely packed behind the giant double-edged axe, including long-handled axes, short-handled axes, throwing axes, and double-edged axes; they even saw gigantic hammers the size of trucks.

All in all, there were at least hundreds of them, quite a sight to behold and reminiscent of a forest of giant axes, filling them with awe and reverence.

And just like the first double-edged giant axe they had seen.

Almost all of the axes had blade marks of various sizes and degrees of corrosion on their surfaces.

As such, describing what was in front of them as a mottled Steel Forest seemed the most fitting.

“What a magnificent sight…”>

Looking at the shocking scene in front of them, Tia, who was closely following Leo Ray, had a look of surprise written all over her beautiful face hidden under her knight helmet as her lips slightly parted.

At the same time, looking up at the bizarre Steel Forest formed by the nearly ten-meter-tall, giant axe heads.

The other elite soldiers let out continuous sighs of amazement, hardly able to believe their eyes.

This sudden scene of axes everywhere was undoubtedly unforgettable.

As they all marveled at the sight, the exploration team had already arrived at the front of the Steel Forest.

At this moment, Leo Ray looked up at the corroded, long-handled axe in front of him. It was more than ten meters tall, and over half of the giant axe blade had been chipped away. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

The mottled scene seemed to silently narrate an unknown history.

One could imagine that back then, the Titan Clan had experienced a fierce war.

Yet all of this had already vanished into the long river of time.

“By the way, why are there so many Titan Clan weapons here?”

On the other side, Lord Asher, also looking shocked, couldn’t help but express his doubts after slightly calming down.

“It’s a pity that there are no records in the ancient books. However, judging from the current situation, these giant axes have obviously been worn and tried through war. Not one of them is in perfect condition, so it’s unlikely that this was an arsenal…”

Old Calvin stroked his white beard, deep in thought, and said, “Moreover, this hidden space is located behind the War God Statue in the temple. If my guess is correct, it should be some sort of ceremonial site.”

“A ceremonial site?”

Hearing this, Lord Asher’s face was filled with even more confusion as he muttered to himself, “A ceremony to worship weapons? That’s quite a strange custom.”

“This is a Hall of Heroes for the Titan Clan, or you could say, their ancestral temple.”

On the other side, Red Night stepped forward with her arms crossed upon receiving Leo Ray’s permission and said indifferently, “However, they are not worshipping the weapons, but the strong Titans who once possessed these weapons.”

“Hall of Heroes?”

Hearing this, everyone’s curious and reverent gazes gathered on Red Night who was clad in her red combat attire.

“Your Excellency, do you know the history of this place? Could you please explain more about it?”
