Mo Fan had stood in front of the ancient statue a few times. The statue's lifelike face and lifelike posture made Mo Fan feel like it was a living creature. It was like a guardian of a moonless night, cautious and hostile toward any foreign creature. When it looked down at you from above, it would not open its mouth, but its imperious cries of warning would penetrate your mind.
And now, Mo Fan was hearing the same thing. It clearly echoed in his mind, and reached deep into his soul. He could not help but have goosebumps all over his body, as if his soul was trying to escape from his pores after being frightened by the cat's cry!
Mo Fan subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Meow!"
The old woman's face was changing. Even though she was a woman, she had grown a silver beard. Her chin was sharpening, and her ears were growing longer!
Was this the secret behind why the ancient statue was protecting Martial Enlightenment City?
He was clearly not a rat or a bug, yet why did he feel so tiny before the Thundercat Constellation? He did not know when he had developed such a deep fear toward cats. It was as if the fear was buried in his bones and flowing in his blood. He had been facing a natural enemy since he was born!
"Mo Fan," Apas' voice appeared in his ear.
Mo Fan woke up from the terrifying feeling when he sensed a cold aura. When he gathered his focus, he discovered that the old lady was still standing in the same spot. She did not seem to have changed, nor did she grow a beard …
Was it an illusion?
Or was it some kind of trick?
Mo Fan glanced at Apas beside him. She had a cautious look. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were sharp. She leaned forward slightly. Most snake demons would adopt a defensive and offensive posture when they were in danger.
"What's going on?" Mo Fan asked.
"It's not an illusion … I can't explain it to you. Leave it to me," Apas said sternly.
As Mo Fan's overall strength improved, Apas' cultivation was very close to her level in Egypt. She was strong enough to take on the Queen of the Netherworld, Queen Medusa. The fact that she was behaving in such a manner clearly implied that the old woman was not trying to trick them!
Mo Fan shook his head as he recalled the fear he felt when a rat ran into a cat.
It turned out that the statues in Martial Enlightenment City did contain some kind of power that could surpass the boundaries of different species. Even with the protection of the Dragon Horn Helmet, he still could not break through the suppression of his natural enemy!
Apas and the old woman glared at each other. Their eyes were changing. Apas's golden-pink snake eyes turned aggressive, like the determination and viciousness of a venomous snake.
The old woman's eyes were constantly intimidating the enemy. She was focused on finding the enemy's weakness, and cunning at times.
The people on the Sunset Isle were confused. The old woman and Apas were staring at one another. They were both standing still, yet everyone could sense the battle between their Spiritual Energies.
There was no wind in the surroundings. The beasts and birds were usually the happiest at dusk, yet they did not make any noise. The Soaring Sunset Villa was eerily quiet.
Mo Fan and Apas were telepathic. He could sense the battle taking place within milliseconds. To put it simply, it was like a cat encountering a snake. The cat was quick and agile, while the snake was decisive and calm. They were in a stalemate, yet they did not dare to let their guard down!
"Puchi ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
The old woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It was a huge bloody mist, as if she had spat out all the blood in her body.
The others were shocked. They quickly went up to help the old woman.
The old woman's eyes dimmed with fear. She held the cane with one hand and pointed at Apas with the other.
Apas' golden-pink eyes slowly returned to human form. A smile appeared on her face. It was bright and innocent, yet cold and emotionless.
"What's going on?" Mo Fan asked Apas.
"Luckily, you brought me with you. Otherwise, you would be surrounded by these people under the suppression of your natural predator. You would be greatly restricted and uneasy. It's the Thundercat Constellation's power and deterrence that prevents the demon creatures around Martial Enlightenment City from entering the city," Apas explained to Mo Fan.
"I thought not many people in this world would be able to suppress me with Dragon Instinct and Dragon Deterrence," Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh.
He had almost failed miserably. He did not expect the Thundercat Constellation to be so powerful!
"The world is huge. Dragons aren't the strongest and oldest creatures. Why else would there be a mound of beasts behind the Ten Thousand Dragons Valley?" Apas replied.
Dragons might be ancient and powerful, but the real Medusas might not necessarily be afraid of them.
Dragons were the highest species in the hierarchy, but that was only relative to ordinary creatures.
Sacred Spirits of the Heavens and Earth, descendants of Demon Gods, Ancient Beast Ancestors, Thousand-Year-Old Demon Veins, Legendary Human Emperors … which one of them was weaker than the True Dragons of the West?
"That's true. They must have some trump cards if they and the hidden tribes of Geyser Spring are considered the Two Hidden Tribes," Mo Fan did not find it strange after giving it some thought.
"Be careful, don't expose too much of your strength. Don't forget about the Neptune God at the cliff the other day. It's most likely the first ancient statue that the Sunrise Island people brought to this island. It's higher than the Thundercat Constellation. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you if you have to face it, "Apas told Mo Fan seriously.
"I'm pressuring them because I want to see the Neptune God," Mo Fan said.
The Neptune God?
Even though he could not be sure, the creature was most likely the Totem Beast he was looking for.
If what Apas said was true, the Neptune God was the first ancient statue that the Sunrise Island people brought to this island, and it had attracted the Heavenly Tribulation. Since Apas had suppressed the Thundercat Constellation, the Neptune God was not far away from showing up.
However, Mo Fan was still confused.
The other ancient statues were just statues. Even the Thundercat Constellation had to be possessed by the Great Granny. Only the Neptune God seemed to be alive.
It seemed like he had no choice but to dig out the secrets of the Sunrise Island with his fists!
"Little Flame Belle, there's no need to go easy on him," Mo Fan lifted his gaze and said to the Flame Belle Goddess who was engulfed in flames.
"Do you really think you can overturn the Sunrise Island on your own? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a Great Ruler-level Flame Sacred Spirit?" A man in a sparrow outfit came up from behind the Great Granny.
The man in the sparrow outfit had a cold and dignified appearance. He looked like he was in his thirties. However, his white hair was hanging loosely. He was obviously not as old as he looked.
"Great Grandfather!"
The men and women of the Sunrise Island screamed excitedly, as if they had just seen their savior and hero.
