Fortunately, the two monsters didn't pursue Sheyan, if not, Sheyan would be in a precarious situation. He panted for a moment, forcefully withstanding the concussive state. Instead, he witnessed the two statues not caring about the damage from the others, and viciously pouncing towards Fanu. Sheyan instantly realized something, the two statues must have sensed something important on Fanu, most probably that sheepskin map. That was why they were so stubborn in their attack.
But in terms of battle experience, everyone here was much more experienced than Sheyan. Seeing the Metals professor's fireball battering the two statue soldiers, but not attracting their attention, they keenly sensed that something was amiss. The most agile Deke supported Fanu and swiftly fled. At this moment, Sheyan rushed forward to block, finally gaining enough time.
At this moment, the Metals professor had no time to cast any spells. He suddenly stood still and chanted for a while, before bending his body and spinning. At this moment, Sheyan finally understood why he was called the Metals professor. The metallic texture of his clothes suddenly transformed into pieces of butterflies that fluttered in the air. They emitted a cold glint in the air as they collided with each other. It was like a violent steel vortex that engulfed everything!
What was even stranger was, this violent whirlpool of steel actually swept towards the ceiling of the cave. Rock fragments flew everywhere, and with a crash, several hanging bell shaped rocks were chopped down. Who knew how long these hanging bell shaped rocks had been hanging there for, but after being chopped down, it carried a heavy gust of wind as it smashed downwards.
Looking at the momentum of these falling stalactite shaped rocks, they definitely wouldn't be able to touch the two statue soldiers. As long as the two statue soldiers immediately halted their charge, then the Metals professor's wave of metal blades would undoubtedly be in vain. But the two statue soldiers actually ignored the immense threat above them, and continued charging forward. It looked like they were voluntarily sending themselves to be smashed by the rocks.
"Pa La!" A loud crash resounded! The two statue soldiers were smashed by the boulders at the same time and rolled to the ground in a sorry state. Clear cracks appeared on the surface of their bodies. When they got up again, they staggered. Obviously, the two statue soldiers were affected to a certain extent. However, the boulders that fell from above were quickly smashed away by their swords and shields, and they continued to press forward step by step.
Helpless, Fanu forced himself to sit up, glancing at the Metals professor. The latter nodded, and a furious roar reverberated through the air! That thick-armored stegosaurus Steel Horn reappeared in this space. Although its injuries hadn't recovered much, one couldn't help but admit, this gigantic ferocious beast Steel Horn from the depths of the wilderness was undoubtedly the best target to deal with these two loathsome fellows!
Under Steel Horn's frenzied assault, after a short 30 seconds, the two formidable statue soldiers crumbled into strange white stone fragments, scattering all over the ground. Their weapons instantly darkened, and rusted, finally disintegrated into dust! What was even more tragic was that these two guys didn't drop anything. Yes, nothing at all! This meant that they didn't receive any rewards for their desperate efforts. This also meant that the 1 metre long wound on Steel Horn's abdomen was in vain, and one of his eyes was blinded for nothing.
Fanu coughed violently, one could even see red liquid seeping out from the gaps between his fingers. He then lifted his head and calmly spoke.
"I'm sorry, Steel Horn probably won't be able to help us for a long time."
The Metals professor nodded, his pair of callous eyes gazed towards Sheyan. Sheyan took a deep breath, nodding his head and took the initiative to speak.
"Alright, I'll scout, but I don't know where to go."
Sheyan had no choice but to do so, because Phelps' cannon fodder wolf had died long ago. If he refused, he would immediately be standing on the opposite side of the party. He was confident that with his 31 points of physique, even if there was a trap, he wouldn't die first. If his concealment ability was exposed, then in this labyrinth like environment, no one in the party would be able to catch up! Even if they caught up, with the Metals professor's current exhausted and injured state, how many times could he withstand 'Ambition's' attacks?
Hence, the party's formation was: Sheyan in front, Deke covering Fanu at the back, Phelps third, the Metals professor holding the rear. The party successively suffered several assaults from the statue soldiers, but this time the statue soldiers appeared one by one, hence the difficulty was greatly reduced. The Metals professor and Deke could concentrate their firepower on the legs, then slowly exhaust them to death.
After circling around this labyrinth for close to 3 hours, a wide precipice appeared in front of them. This precipice was extremely precipitous, even if they raised their heads, they couldn't see the top. The precipice's rocks were greenish grey, looking like it was brimming with a sense of death. On the precipice, one could faintly see intersecting tubular objects, like a petrified vein that had been dead for thousands of years.
Once they saw this precipice, both the Metals professor and Fanu's face revealed an indescribable joy. They immediately ordered.
"Everyone split up and search. Follow the precipice, one group to the left, one group to the right. Once you discover anything strange, immediately inform me."
During the splitting up, the Metals professor and Fanu were split into one group. It was obviously for surveillance purposes, to prevent others from discovering something and leaving them behind. During the process of searching along the precipice, Sheyan's heart was filled with that strange feeling, and it was getting stronger each time. But at the same time, he discovered a large amount of white bones. After Fanu's appraisal, it was a mix of goblins, humans, fairies and other races. Obviously something tragic had happened here.
Half an hour later, the Metals professor sent a message. They hurriedly rushed over, and when they met up, they saw a stone carved door on the precipice. What was even more surprising was that the door was carved with various bar decorations. Even the stone door had an extremely fine wooden texture and handle, looking remarkably similar to a bar's back door. Looking at such an environment, it even gave birth to a feeling that the next second, a sweet smiling waitress would appear and invite them in.
Above the door were several unrecognizable words. Instead, Phelps secretly told Sheyan that it should be a language similar to Hebrew, a mixture of lizard and dwarven languages. The meaning was:
Icestone Bar – A place that leads to miracles and death.
"We're here … .we're here, we're here!!!" The Metals professor carried a trace of fanaticism as he shouted.
He turned around and waved his hands, using a completely hysterical manner as he roared.
"Another 100 metres – we just need to open this damned door, then walk another 100 metres! My dream will come true. I will prove to those idiots, those arrogant idiots, that in this damn space, everything is possible. I firmly believe, yes, I firmly believe, I will succeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
The Metals professor's frenzied roars reverberated throughout the vast wilderness. Sheyan noticed that because of his agitation, his eyes were clearly flushed red! After a while, it slowly subsided, once again reverting back to that cold, sharp person.
Following that, the Metals professor turned around, using a commanding tone he commanded Sheyan.
"Go open the door, immediately!"
At this moment, there was a hint of coldness in his voice! Completely not allowing anyone to question him. After hearing the Metals professor's words, Sheyan took a deep breath. He bent down and pretended to tie his shoelaces as he patted the thorns on his shoes, raising his physique to 31 points. Then he turned around to glance, seeing the Metals professor's excited, fanatical, expectant and vigilant complex expression. He then stretched out his hand, forcefully grasping the stone door handle.
The stone door handle was rather exquisite, it was even engraved with 3 lively lizard stripes. In that era, all drinkers were superstitious about using lizard juice to mix with strong liquor to create a miraculous aphrodisiac. After touching it, Sheyan felt that the stone was icy cold, but smooth. Probably due to the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsman, the handle was engraved with a dense silky texture, adding a unique comfort to the wood.
The stone door was very heavy, Sheyan increased his strength and pulled it open. Unexpectedly, his perceptive sensing didn't warn him. This meant that when Sheyan pulled the door open, there wasn't any danger.
In the time it took for a spark to fly.
Sheyan's mind was unprecedentedly clear, he immediately made several deductions.
Firstly, this place should be extremely dangerous. Even such a small matter like opening the door, the Metals professor had to find someone else to do it.
Secondly, the Metals professor seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation, even saying that his dream would be fulfilled if he walked another 100 metres, but he didn't know that opening the door was not dangerous. This meant that the Metals professor probably only had a very simple understanding of the situation inside. Just like how everyone knew there was a vault in a bank, but most people didn't know how many security measures there were from the bank entrance to the vault. It was the same logic.
Lastly, looking at the current situation, if there was a dangerous place inside, he would have to explore it himself. He had to change this situation! (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
