Chapter 104 The Strange Statue
Immediately afterwards, two blinding red beams of light shot out from the statue's eyes, which seemed to be burning with raging flames, and shot straight toward the three of them.
Faced with such a sudden change, all three were startled. Before they could react, they felt an intensely hot wave sweeping over them.
As the two red lights drew ever closer, in that critical moment, Huan Yuechu, standing at the front of the group, made a decisive decision and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Scatter!"
Upon hearing her shout, the two snapped out of their daze and used all their strength to dodge to the sides as fast as they could.
The statue slowly raised its arm and smashed it down towards Wen Xingyu.
Wen Xingyu dodged and hid behind a pillar.
Xu Yan knew very well that if they could not subdue this mysterious and powerful statue first, they would have no chance of winning.
So, he anxiously opened the yellowed ancient book again, his fingers quickly turning the pages, hoping to find a way to subdue the eerie statue.
Heaven rewards those who persevere! Finally, in the corner of a certain page, Xu Yan was pleasantly surprised to find a detailed record on how to seal such statues.
However, the method described in the text made him frown – it turned out that to successfully seal the statue, it was necessary to gather the power of everyone present and jointly cast a complex and ancient formation.
Xu Yan quickly told Huan Yuechu and Wen Xingyu the method, and they nodded.
So they quickly took their positions as described in the ancient texts.
Huan Yuechu stood at the front, her hands forming a mudra, chanting incantations, while Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu used the crystal ball to unleash their power.
Just then, as if sensing danger, the statue intensified its attack, sending beams of red light hurtling towards the crowd.
While dodging, Huan Yuechu maintained the spiritual energy transmission required for the formation.
As everyone's spiritual energy converged, a blue light gradually rose from the center of the formation.
However, the statue's power was too great, and the blue light was about to be suppressed.
At the critical moment, Huan Yuechu gritted her teeth and forcibly increased her spiritual power, and a powerful force surged out from her body and flowed into the blue light.
The blue light suddenly surged, transforming into a giant net of light that enveloped the statue.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and dazzling rays of light shot out from the array's core, writhing and twisting like serpents, heading straight for the statue.
Faced with this sudden attack, the statue clearly felt threatened and began to struggle violently.
It emitted billowing black smoke and spewed out raging flames from its mouth, attempting to burn away the rays that were wrapped around it.
However, the three were not intimidated by the statue's retaliation.
Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan, in particular, gritted their teeth, veins bulging on their foreheads, and exerted all their strength to guide the power of the formation toward the center of the statue's brow.
Huan Yuechu was responsible for resisting the counterattack force released by the statue.
At that moment, everyone's heart was in their throat; success or failure hinged on this...
Just when everyone felt their strength was about to be exhausted and their bodies were about to collapse and they could no longer hold on,
The array that had been flashing with a mysterious light suddenly erupted with an incomparably powerful energy fluctuation!
This energy, like a surging torrent, crashed violently against the statue.
The statue, which had been so imposing and seemed to be trying to break free of its restraints, suddenly let out a roar filled with resentment and anger!
The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the entire space, causing everyone present to tremble with fear.
However, no matter how much it struggled and resisted, it ultimately could not withstand the powerful force of the formation.
Gradually, dazzling rays of light shot out from the array, weaving together a dense net of light that tightly enveloped the statue.
As the light network continued to shrink, the statue also began to grow smaller, and the terrifying aura emanating from it gradually diminished.
Finally, after a fierce struggle, the statue was completely enveloped by the net of light.
Amidst a dazzling light, it slowly returned to its original form—its eyes tightly closed, standing there quietly like an ordinary stone statue.
Seeing this, Wen Xingyu and Xu Yan, who had been struggling, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
They collapsed to the ground like deflated balloons, panting heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.
At this moment, they felt sore and weak all over, but their hearts were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
After resting for a while, Xu Yan stood up and his gaze fell on a bead emitting a faint blue light among the gold, silver treasures and cultivation manuals. He had a sudden thought: could this be the spirit bead he was looking for?
Wen Xingyu and Huan Yuechu also noticed the bead, their eyes filled with surprise.
Xu Yan took light and cautious steps, approaching the mysterious object step by step.
His heart was pounding faster and faster, as if he could hear his own heart beating.
Finally, he slowly reached out and gently touched the surface of the object with his fingertips.
Just then, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation, as if by magic.
The once clearly visible environment was suddenly shrouded in a thick fog, and everyone was instantly lost in this white world.
"Oh no, this is a trap!" Xu Yan exclaimed loudly, her voice filled with fear and vigilance.
At the same time, a chilling, sinister laugh echoed from the depths of the fog, sending shivers down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, a blurry black figure gradually emerged from the mist.
The dark figure was tall and exuded a chilling aura.
His face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his true appearance, but his cold laugh revealed his disdain for everyone.
"Hmph, you ignorant bunch, do you really think you can obtain that incomparably precious spirit pearl so easily?"
Faced with the shadowy figure's mockery, Huan Yuechu clenched her fists and responded without flinching.
"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we will never give up easily!" After saying this, she exuded a powerful aura, ready to face the upcoming fierce battle.
Upon seeing this, the dark figure suddenly pounced like lightning, its speed as fast as a sudden storm, catching everyone off guard.
However, Huan Yuechu was prepared. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
As she moved, the crystal ball in her hand emitted a dazzling light, and several sharp spiritual energies shot out, forming a solid barrier in an attempt to block the attack from the shadowy figure.
