3149 Chapter 3,037, Strange Stone Statue (fourth watch)
Su Yu probed, “Are we the only ones who can enter the sinkhole?”
Miss song tilted her head and rolled her eyes. “Are you stupid? There’s only one entrance to the sinkhole, and we were the first to enter. Apart from us, who else can enter?”
“There’s no second entrance?”Su Yu asked.
Miss song shrugged. “If you can find the second entrance, then consider yourself capable.”
There were so many peerless experts and so many years, but they still could not find another entrance to the sinkhole imperial lord. Su Yu’s lips moved up and down, and one appeared?
Su Yu was silent.
That was too strange!
There was only one entrance, and they were the first to enter. How could anyone surpass them?
It was really strange!
However, the clear footprints could not be faked.
Su Yu engraved the footprints in her heart and followed Miss Xiao Song into the second treasure area.
“Although it’s a dangerous place, the treasures here are not like the first treasure area where we can’t find a single hair. When we pass by, we can still find some if we are more careful.”Miss Xiao song was eager to try.
It was obvious that this was her first time participating in a large-scale adventure, so she was especially excited.
Su Yu also became serious.
He was very curious about what treasures were left in the tomb of the sinkhole monarch.
“Be careful, there seems to be someone in the grass.”The bald youth looked around and suddenly saw a figure in the grass.
Miss song immediately took out a small bow. Although its grade was not as high as the useless cauldron and the seven-colored feather fan, it was still an ancient Daoist artifact second only to them. Its power was astonishing.
Su Yu was looking over when Xia jingyu slowly said, “It’s just a stone statue.”
A stone statue?
The bald youth came forward and pushed the grass aside. Only then did he realize that it was really a white stone statue that was half buried in the soil.
The surface of the stone statue was covered with dense vines, and it was covered with traces of the passage of time.
“Yi, there are still stone statues ahead. Some of them are broken.”The bald young man looked over and discovered that there were stone statues everywhere in the grass.
They were lying there in a mess. Some were broken, some were complete, but they were all very old.
Su Yu walked over and took a look. He couldn’t help but wonder why there were so many stone statues in this place that should be uninhabited?
After thinking for a while, Su Yu opened his clairvoyance and swept his gaze around. His pupils couldn’t help but constrict.
The place he saw, whether it was the mountain in the distance or the stones under his feet, was filled with countless stone statues without exception!
No!
To be precise, the second treasure area he saw was actually formed by the accumulation of stone statues.
It was just that after years of accumulation, dust had accumulated and formed into soil, burying them underneath.
“Strange!”Miss song hopped to the front of a stone statue and walked up to observe it closely. “These stone statues are really lifelike. Look, even their clothes are all different.”
Wasn’t That So?
The clothes, accessories, hairstyles, and expressions carved on the surface of the stone statues were all different.
Moreover, the appearance, stature, and height of the stone statue were all different.
“Why do I Feel Like They’re alive?”Miss Xiao song muttered.
The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did. Su Yu was thousands of years old, and he shattered the stomach of a stone statue. The result frightened Miss Xiao song and the others so much that they hurriedly retreated.
After the stone statue’s stomach was cracked open, the petrified intestines were revealed! !
No matter how brilliant a stonemason was, it was impossible for him to carve out the intestines and stomach of the stone statue!
The only explanation was that they were really transformed by living people.
“It was done by the sacred mountain,”Xia Jingyu said calmly. “In this world, the only person who has the ability to transform living creatures into stone statues is the sacred mountain.”
Su Yu shook his head lightly. “No! The sacred mountain can indeed transform living creatures into stone statues, but they are still living stone statues, and they are still living creatures. The things in front of me have all turned people into dead things in an instant.”
His gaze swept across a few stone men with frightened faces.
There was no pain, only fear.
This meant that the change was only in the span of a night.
This was definitely not the transformation of the stone men of the Sacred Mountain, but a massacre!
Xia Jingyu could not help but look at Su Yu. Miss song looked at Su Yu curiously. “You suddenly became smarter, and You Already Know This?”
Su Yu quickly smiled. “No, no, I’ve heard it from others.”
“That’s more like it.”Miss Xiao song snorted and waved her hand. “Let’s not care about these stone men. Let’s just leave them to their deaths.”
Could they really not care?
They really could not!
To reach Miss Xiao Song’s destination, the third treasure trove area had to cross the second treasure trove area.
Crossing it meant crossing the Black Forest in front of them.
It was strange that the trees in the Black Forest were all straight towards the sky, but they did not grow leaves, flowers, or fruits. They were like thorns, straight towards the sky.
Walking inside, there was an indescribable sense of strangeness.
What was even stranger was that other than the stone statue of a person, there was also a stone statue of a fierce beast.
A fierce beast with its four legs facing the sky was full of fear, and its four limbs were grabbing towards the sky.
Su Yu raised his head to look at the sky. The dark sky above should be the top wall of the tomb, but it was completely undamaged.
However, the stone statue of the ferocious beast before him seemed to have fallen from the sky.
What was most noticeable was that the stone statue of the ferocious beast was different from the other stone statues. It was very new.
It was not more than twenty years old at most, and was very different from those stone statues that were mottled by the passage of time.
“Wow! It’s a sabertooth dragon elephant. With such a big body, it should be at the late stage of the Great Sage Realm, right?”Miss Xiao song said in surprise, “TSK tsk, what a pity. If it becomes a stone statue, it won’t be able to collect even a single hair.”
She didn’t realize the problem at all!
They continued to go deeper.
Another huge stone statue came into view. It was still a stone statue, and it was very new. At most, it would take less than two years.
What caused Miss Xiao Song’s expression to change was that there was a huge bite mark on the back of this demonic beast. It should have been eaten by something before it was petrified.
“This… something isn’t right. The clan didn’t record this,”Miss Xiao Song said.
The bald youth looked around uneasily. “The clan didn’t record it. It’s not just the stone statues. Have you heard of this Black Forest?”
“No,”said Miss Song.
The Ten Thousand Paths Canyon in the first treasure zone did not match the records at all, so she did not care if this Black Forest did not match the records.
The sinkhole imperial tomb was changing rapidly. Who knew what had happened without anyone?
“However, there’s no way out. We can only cross this place,”insisted miss song as she led her people forward.
Two hours later.
They arrived at an open area. There were countless black trees here, and one of the areas with a diameter of 100 kilometers was even more spacious.
In that spacious area, there were seven to eight stone statues of ferocious beasts lying in a mess.
What was hard to ignore was that these stone statues were all extremely fresh!
They had existed for at most one day!
What made people shudder was that the strength of the ferocious beasts were all at the late stage of the Great Sage realm!
