Still, it wasn't a bad ending that everyone was fine in the end.
"It's been five days. We don't know what dangers await us. We need to hurry."
Qin Yi rose to his feet.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Qin!"
Wen Xing rose to his feet and bowed to Qin Yi. "I'm the one who held everyone back and made you wait for so long!"
Duan Xinghe and the others spoke up before Qin Yi could.
"Brother Wen, you don't have to say that."
"That's right. If you hadn't risked your life to protect us, we would've all been killed by that fellow."
"You may be a monster, but you're a good friend."
Wen Xing lowered his head. "Actually, if I wasn't a monster, that person wouldn't have attacked you. At the end of the day, it's my fault."
"Little brother Wen Xing, don't think too much about it."
The Violet-Eyed Golden Bull explained, "Dusk Snake and I have already scouted the area. If our guess is correct, the sculptures on both sides should have been refined using two extreme methods. One hates humans, and the other hates monsters. If the ones who came to life were the monster statues, then Qin Yi and the others would be the first to be in danger. "
Qin Yi frowned. "Who would be so bored as to do something like this? To create two extremes at once? "
"No, you're wrong."
The Blackwater Mystical Snake flicked its forked tongue. "The statues look the same and have similar functions, but the auras they seal are completely different."
Qin Yi's eyes changed slightly: "Could it be that this is the masterpiece of two different people?"
"I think so."
The Violet-Eyed Golden Bull said, "And they're extremely cruel. There are signs of life in these statues, but no soul waves.
"In other words, when they were turned into stone statues, their souls had already disappeared. Even if they woke up, they would only be puppets, right? "
"Yes."
Qin Yi took a deep breath. "How could there be such a cruel thing in the world? Not only did they erase their souls, they even sealed their bodies for countless years! That's insane! "
"Why are you thinking so much?"
Black Water Mystical Snake said disdainfully, "These people have been dead for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and they are just some corpses here. If I had to describe it, it would be some corpses that would harm people! "
"A corpse that will harm people!"
Hearing this, Qin Yi suddenly thought of the zombies he and Lu Yu encountered when they broke into the Death Gate. "Could it be that in this ancient tomb, there is a secret that can control the dead?"
He could not help but feel anxious at the thought. "Golden Ox, Dusk Snake, did you find anything when you went to investigate?"
The Purple-Eyed Golden Bull shook its head and said, "Apart from what I saw just now, there's nothing else. This passage is ridiculously long. Dusk Snake and I didn't dare go too far because we were worried about you. "
"Alright then."
Qin Yi quickly got up and said to everyone, "Let's go and see for ourselves what is at the end of this passage!"
Seeing him full of energy, everyone's morale was instantly boosted.
With that, the group of them tidied themselves up and continued on their journey!
…
A day later, they were still moving forward in the passage. Although the temperature was getting lower and lower, the surrounding scenery didn't change in the slightest. Apart from the various human and demonic beast statues, there was nothing else to see.
If there was a difference, it would be that as they continued to move forward, the size of the Demonic Beast statues grew larger, while the number of the human statues also decreased.
It was obvious that the status of these statues in the armies was also getting higher and stronger when they were alive!
"Fortunately, the previous accident happened when we just arrived."
Qin Yi let out a long sigh and said, "If we had awakened such an expert or beast, I'm afraid we would all have died here."
Because as they went deeper, they could also see that the weapons in these people's hands were getting more and more advanced. Saintly weapons were not uncommon, and Earth-level weapons were also not uncommon.
If they had held back earlier and arrived here without any setbacks, there would also be people who could not hold back!
Sometimes, it was better to learn a lesson early!
…
After walking for another two days, the group finally reached the end of the passage.
"It's so cold!"
Lu Yu hugged herself tightly and could not help but shiver.
Although Qin Yi had used his own Nirvana True Fire to make a "flame coat" attached to the surface of their clothes, the Nirvana True Fire at the moment was obviously not enough.
Even Qin Yi could feel the bone-piercing coldness, let alone Lu Yu, whose physique was much weaker than his.
Without a choice, Qin Yi could only use his Heavenly Fire to add another coat on top of the Nirvana True Fire.
Just like that, the coldness disappeared without a trace in an instant. Only then were they able to continue forward.
Gradually, they discovered that the ground beneath their feet was already covered in ice. Furthermore, as they went deeper, the layer of ice on the road became thicker and thicker!
In the end, Qin Yi and the group had already reached a height of one person. If they were not careful, they would slip and fall.
"Look, what's that in front!"
Duan Xinghe had a natural affinity with ice, so he was the first to realize that there was an unusual scene at the end of the passage!
Because of his words, everyone turned to look at him.
The light in front was very dim, but the group could still see a tall ice mountain in front of them.
Regardless of whether it was the layer of ice beneath their feet or the coldness that they had felt since they entered, it was emitted from this ice mountain.
"This mountain seems to have two peaks!"
Lu Yu's eyes were sharp, and she quickly noticed this detail. The two peaks were very close to each other. If one did not pay attention, they would easily be overlooked.
"Don't go forward first!"
After what had happened earlier, Qin Yi had become extra vigilant. He was also afraid that he might accidentally release some old monster. That would be terrible!
Moreover, this was obviously the end of the ancient tomb. The things here were definitely not on the same level as those outside.
Therefore, before approaching, he had to see what was in the innermost part!
Immediately, he opened his God's Spiritual Eye and looked forward.
"This is …!"
