The underground cave.
Gu Qing Shan, Lola, and Liao Xiao Pao followed the stone stairs, heading deeper into the underground.
Their surroundings were so quiet that they couldn't hear anything at all.
Lola quickly looked up and couldn't help but whisper: "Gu Qing Shan, I'm scared"
Gu Qing Shan and Liao Xiao Pao stopped.
The two of them looked up and once again looked up at the ceiling of the cave.
— — -from the very beginning of their journey, they had noticed that there were some statues hanging upside down at the top of the cave.
These statues consisted of humans, beasts, elves, elementals, void creatures, and various other races. All of them had an expression of panic on their faces, desperately struggling to get closer to the underground path that the three of them were standing on.
But their feet were stuck to the ceiling of the cave, unable to get away and had to maintain a fixed posture.
If she had only seen it once, Lola wouldn't have been afraid. But after walking for a few hours, there wasn't a single living creature around them. These statues were constantly hanging above their heads, and there were more and more of them, so she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Do you think they were alive before, or were they carved?" Liao Xiao Pao asked with interest.
— — as an entity who had awakened Realm power, he wouldn't be afraid of these eerie statues.
"If they're making the same movement to escape, they must be expressing the same thing" Gu Qing Shan said.
Corpses, souls, dead people, ghosts — — -
These things were too common for Gu Qing Shan, and since he was in charge of such things himself, he wasn't really interested in them at first.
But now that Lola was feeling a bit scared, he decided to take a closer look.
"— — what are they expressing?" Liao Xiao Pao asked.
"These statues are too old, we can't infer what happened in the past"
Gu Qing Shan put Lola down on the stone stairs, leapt up, and silently flew up to hover in front of a statue of a human male.
The man's facial muscles were twisted from fear, his mouth was wide open as if he wanted to scream out loud.
Using both his hands and feet, he desperately tried to reach the bottom. He couldn't wait to land on the stone steps.
But everything about him was frozen.
Gu Qing Shan reached out her hand and lightly touched the statue.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
"The remains of a human, left here 30,000 years ago."
It really was a corpse!
Gu Qing Shan lowered her head to look at the two people below.
Liao Xiaopao crossed his arms and looked bored.
But Laura was still trembling, and her face was even a little pale.
"They are just sculptures, but they look so lifelike!"
Gu Qing Shan praised as she floated down.
He put Lola on his shoulder again and continued with a smile, "I saw a few traces of carving. His knife skills are really good, so he could transmit the statue's emotions to you."
Lola listened attentively and sighed with a hand on her chest.
"I really don't understand. Who would be so bored as to carve this kind of thing in a cave? It must be a big pervert." She muttered.
She was no longer trembling.
Gu Qing Shan silently signaled to Liao Xiaopao with her eyes.
Liao Xiaopao was about to ask something, but seeing his eyes, he didn't.
Instead, he became serious.
"So it's a sculpture, I've always been interested in sculptures — — just in time, I'll go up and take a look as well!"
Liao Xiaopao casually said.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the line of common human text that appeared above his head:
"This path doesn't give off a good feeling, and I don't know where the end is — — - I might as well dig a path to the surface and take a look"
— — -that was what Liao Xiaopao was thinking.
He flew up, first looked at the sculptures, then went past them to lean against the wall and put his ear on it.
"What are you listening for?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I have an ability that allows me to hear sounds from the ground, so I'm listening" Liao Xiaopao replied.
Another line of text appeared above his head:
"This great one's ability allows me to bypass all obstacles and hear any sounds from the ground — — - I won't tell you that so that you won't have to rely on this great one for everything, hmph!"
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
He and Lola silently stood on the stone steps.
Lola was a bit more relaxed now, so she took out a bag of snacks and began to eat.
She first gave Gu Qing Shan a piece — — -
"Gu Qing Shan, open your mouth"
"Is this thing good?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
"It is" Lola confirmed it.
Gu Qing Shan took a bite.
Lola took out another piece and put it in Gu Qing Shan's mouth.
Gu Qing Shan ate it.
— — -she gave her another piece.
While eating, Gu Qing Shan looked at her.
She happily smiled and said: "Is it good? Eat a bit more "
A line of Bramble text appeared above her head:
"Whoa, why does it feel like I'm feeding a pet, how nice!"
Gu Qing Shan silently read through it and didn't say a single word in reply.
— — -but now that I can clearly see what others are thinking, this [Soul Observation] that the True Old Demon bestowed me is truly useful.
While chewing on her snacks, Gu Qing Shan looked at Liao Xiao Pao.
Only to see that Liao Xiao Pao was still sticking close to the rock wall, silently listening to the commotion below.
Lines of human common text appeared above his head:
"What the fuck, what exactly is going on?"
"… What the hell … something's not right …"
“！！！！！”
Liao Xiao Pao landed on the stone steps again and exchanged glances with Gu Qing Shan.
"What's the situation?" Gu Qing Shan sent her voice.
Liao Xiao Pao replied with telepathy: "I'm not sure, but I feel like we should follow this path, it'll be safer this way"
He seemed to have a lot on his mind as he took the lead to follow the stone steps deeper underground.
As Gu Qing Shan watched his back, another line of human common text appeared above his head:
"Such a terrifying place … it's fortunate that there's such a path underground …"
The line flickered for a bit before slowly disappearing into the void of space.
This time, Gu Qing Shan took this matter very seriously.
— — -even someone of Liao Xiao Pao's level of strength would feel fear.
But Liao Xiao Pao didn't say anything.
Why?
Gu Qing Shan followed Liao Xiao Pao and sent her voice: "Is there something you can't tell me?"
Liao Xiao Pao laughed: "It's nothing, I just feel like something isn't right up there, it's safer for us to follow this path"
Another line of human common text appeared above his head:
"I can't tell you"
"… We can only endure for a bit longer and see if there's anything else"
Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows twitched.
What exactly is there that I can't tell you?
All of a sudden, Liao Xiao Pao who had just taken a few steps stopped and shouted: "Heroic Spirit, please fight for me!"
The void of space next to him began to give off a holy glow.
Heroic Spirit Li came out.
As soon as she appeared, she scowled:
"Hm? What happened to the two of you? "
"Who?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The two of them!"
Following Li's voice, Lola and Liao Xiao Pao's expressions slowly became blank, turning into grey-white stone statues.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed.
If it was only Liao Xiao Pao, that would be understandable, but why was Lola affected as well?
— — -when did they get affected?
"Repel Demon Saint Feather!"
Li shouted, casually took out her scepter, and swung it.
A holy glow blossomed in the darkness, enveloping Lola and Liao Xiao Pao's bodies like a pair of wings.
"What exactly is going on?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
Li maintained her technique and spoke with a serious expression: "This is most likely an extremely powerful curse, or a power that even I can't understand"
"Can they be saved?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I can only barely keep them alive, I can't find a way to save them" Li replied.
Gu Qing Shan drew the Heaven sword.
If other methods don't work, then the Heaven sword will definitely be able to!
"Bing Li — –" Gu Qing Shan silently called out.
"I'm ready!" Luo Bingli's voice came.
Gu Qing Shan swung her sword — — -
A sword phantom flashed and passed through both Lola and Liao Xiao Pao's bodies.
The two of them returned to their normal state.
"That scared the hell out of me" Lola patted her chest, still feeling a bit fearful.
"Who said it wasn't" Liao Xiao Pao also sighed in relief.
"What exactly happened just now?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice.
As Lola was about to say something, Liao Xiao Pao shouted: "Don't tell him!"
Lola was stunned, then realized and gave something in her hand to Gu Qing Shan.
At this point, something happened again.
The grey-white color that had just faded reappeared on their bodies and quickly covered their entire bodies.
The two of them turned back into stone statues!
Gu Qing Shan froze.
He glanced at the Heaven sword in his hand.
Luo Bing Li had fallen into a deep slumber.
In other words — —
[Chaotic Flow] really did work just now.
But as soon as the two of them recovered, they were hit again!
They were clearly with me, so why did they get hit again?
"Repel Demon Saint Feather!"
Li shouted and swung her scepter to release Saint Spirit power to protect them again.
Gu Qing Shan regained his composure and looked at Lola's hand.
Only to see a pair of semi-transparent glasses in Lola's hand.
As Gu Qing Shan received it, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Rare item: Spirit Vision Mirror]
[By wearing it, you will be able to see what other people are sensing through their abilities]
Gu Qing Shan understood.
Just now, Lola must have used this pair of glasses on Liao Xiao Pao, that's why she was able to see what Liao Xiao Pao was looking at.
— — which means she was also hit.
The problem lies in what Liao Xiao Pao was able to sense!
"Gu Qing Shan, I can only keep them alive for now, quickly think of something!" Li hurriedly urged her.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, she looked up.
The statues on top of the rock wall were all coming to life.
"Not dead?"
"Not dead?"
"Not dead?"
"Why …"
The statues were moving their limbs, glaring at the people on the stone path.
They were gathering from every direction.
Gu Qing Shan put the Heaven sword away and quickly thought about it.
— — the ground definitely can't be reached. Both Lola and Liao Xiao Pao saw the situation on the ground, that's why they fell into a dead end.
Liao Xiao Pao didn't even let Lola tell him anything.
Secondly, there's nothing else on the path behind them.
Then there's only — — -
Forward!
"Shannu"
"Gongzi, I'm here"
"From what I can see, none of these dead cadaver can use Realm power, stay here and protect Li, Lola, and Liao Xiao Pao"
Shannu appeared from the void of space.
Wielding the Six Paths Great Mountain sword, she stood guard by everyone's side and quickly asked:
"I'll protect them, what about you, gongzi?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "— — I'll think of something"
As soon as he said so, his figure flashed and flew towards the end of the stone path like a bolt of lightning.
Only Shannu was left here, protecting everyone with her sword.
Li looked at Gu Qing Shan who was flying away, then at Shannu.
"There are too many enemies, I can only keep Lola and Liao Xiao Pao alive, we'll have to rely on you to fight" Li said.
At this point, more and more statues were coming to life on the walls around them.
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
They were shouting as they gathered on the stone path, completely surrounding them.
They were ready to attack at any moment!
All of a sudden, Shannu reached her hand out and grasped the air.
"Cast!"
She uttered a single word.
From the void of space, three skeletons descended and fused behind her.
The skeletons drew their swords, ready to attack.
"— — -Don't worry, leave the battle to me, we'll wait here for gongzi to return"
Shannu swung her sword and assumed a defensive stance.
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan flashed a few times on the stone path and quickly reached the end.
— — -so they were already at the end of the path.
A large metal gate appeared deep underground, blocking the end of the path.
Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword and flew forward.
