The three ships quickly approached the statue island, and then they lowered several small boats and rowed towards the shore.
Because the part of the island that was exposed to the sea was just the head of the statue, there was no place to land. So if they wanted to climb up, they would need to use tools under normal circumstances.
However, these barbarians were well prepared. They took off their leather armor as soon as the boat reached the edge of the island. Then, they tied a coil of rope on their backs. Then, they took out two specially made metal awls from their leather sheaths. Then, they inserted the awls into the rocks. After that, they started to climb upwards at a very fast speed.
The people behind them followed the path that they had taken and nailed the wooden wedges into the holes that they had made previously.
On the deck of the ship, the old priest touched a blue crystal pendant on his chest and murmured, "Great God Ita, the creator of the sky and the land, please forgive our rudeness."
After about half a summer's time, the fastest few barbarians had reached the top of the island. They lowered the ropes and helped their companions who were close to the top to climb up.
Soon, the following barbarians also used different tools to set up eight vertical ropeways on the entire rock wall. The people behind them continued to climb up with the help of these ropeways.
After almost another two summer's time, the old priest reached the top without anyone's help.
When he reached the top, he knelt on the ground, panting and sweating all over, as if he would faint at any time.
The man wearing a white mask also came here at this moment. He looked at the old priest and said, "Why don't you use your spiritual power? It should be easy to come up, right? "
The old priest gasped and held the scepter with both hands. Although he was weak, he still said seriously, "That's the power of God Ita. Without the permission of God, I can't use it at will."
"Is that so …" The man in the mask said, "Is this the rule of your God?"
The old priest shook his head and said, "No, that's my own piety."
The man in the mask looked at him for a while and said, "Well, as long as you're happy."
After the old priest recovered a little strength, he looked around and then looked up. Then he pointed to the collapsed temple and said, "Let's go there."
He rejected the people who came over to help him. Then, he walked towards that place on foot, escorted by hundreds of barbarians.
On the other side, Zhang Yu was still walking in the ruins. As the statue island was quite big, he didn't notice that another group of people had landed on the other side of the island before he flew into the sky.
However, this island didn't belong to him, so even if he discovered someone, as long as they weren't an enemy and didn't come to provoke him, he wouldn't bother too much.
At this moment, he had already arrived in front of the collapsed temple at the northernmost end. However, other than a few small areas in the surrounding sculpture field that had collapsed, there were many perfectly preserved statues.
He thought for a moment and speculated that the saboteurs should have landed from the southwest, which was why when he looked from the sky, the destruction was the most serious. Almost everything on the surface was razed to the ground. After arriving here, the saboteurs vented their energy for a long time. After destroying the temple, they did not inspect it carefully and ended the matter hastily.
Since that was the case, he didn't hold back. He absorbed the heat flow floating here with all his strength. One could see that there were fragments of electricity flickering in his eyes.
He walked slowly, making sure that he didn't miss a single statue that contained Origin Energy.
At this time, he walked to the edge of the temple where there was a slightly raised mound on the ground. There was an unending stream of heat flow, but it was very weak.
He focused his gaze. The sand and gravel suddenly spun on the ground and then slowly rose into the air. Soon, a large amount of gravel and gravel were moved far away, revealing a small pit below.
In an instant, a stream of heat flowed up.
He looked down. In the pit, there were five well-preserved statues that were about the height of a person. Not only were the carvings fine, but the proportions were also very appropriate. Compared to the ordinary statues outside, there was a clear difference.
He thought for a moment. The reason why these statues were buried should be that after the craftsmen here received the news of the enemy's arrival, they hid their best works here to avoid being implicated and destroyed.
Although all the complete statues along the way had been able to replenish his energy, in reality, the total number was not much. Even when added together, it was not as much as the strange skeleton from before. It was only when these five statues appeared that the amount was slightly more impressive.
Obviously, this island was a very famous place in a certain era of the Italans. Looking at the size of this island, the carving of the statues had lasted for at least hundreds of years, and a considerable amount of manpower was used. A lot of faith gathered here, which naturally led to various legends. If it was not interrupted for some reason, presumably this frenzy of faith would continue.
So far, he had walked almost half of the island. He guessed that even if he walked through all the areas below, it should not increase his Origin Energy by much.
However, no matter how little it was, it was still a harvest. He would not complain about having too much Origin Energy.
In the situation where there was no path to the third chapter, the Xuanfu in the Xuanxiu were thinking about how to match different seals to increase their combat strength. He, on the other hand, was playing to his strengths. He did not chase after those seals, but continued to pour Divine Essence into the Six Righteous Seal and the Heart Ray.
Because he knew that the Six Righteous Seal was the root of the Dao chapter. Even if he observed and read a higher chapter book, it still needed to be strengthened. Therefore, doing this could not only strengthen his foundation, but also ensure that he did not go on the wrong path for the time being.
And as long as he had enough Divine Essence, once the right path appeared in front of him, then he could cross the threshold in a short period of time.
After walking a few laps and seeing that he could no longer feel any heat flow here, he turned back and prepared to go west.
Because the work field in the west was separated from here by a wide road and open space, there was nothing in between, so he slowly rose and prepared to fly directly there.
But when he reached a high place, he saw at a glance that there were small figures moving about in the south of the island.
He immediately activated the Seal of Identification, and a light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, the scene in the distance seemed to be magnified. Every person's appearance, changes in expression, and even the texture on their skin were clearly seen.
Although these people were wearing leather armor and bows made by the people of the Protectorate, their rough facial features, short and sturdy bodies, and greyish-white skin, coupled with the way they walked, all showed that they were not people of Tianxia.
He suddenly felt that he had heard of these people before. After thinking for a while, he quickly remembered that they were very similar to the underground tribes in Xiaoshan Town that Chen Zheng had described.
Then he saw an old man holding a scepter appear behind him. This person did not wear the barbarian attire, but wore a feathered crown on his head and a heavy yellow and blue hanging robe.
This was the typical attire of a Guydian priest.
When he looked at the ordinary barbarians, he felt that they were mixed with the characteristics of many indigenous tribes, but this old priest was like a person who had been resurrected from a mural. He walked back into the real world again.
Separated by a long distance, the old priest could not see the other person like Zhang Yu, but at this time, the pendant on his chest vibrated violently. He immediately reached out and grabbed it. After a while, he opened his eyes and shouted, "There is an outsider on the island! This is the territory of God Ita, and it must not be desecrated by outsiders! Any outsider who comes here must die! "
The man in the mask was speechless.
The old priest looked at him and added, "Of course, this does not include our guests."
He turned his head, raised his scepter, and said, "God Ita told me that the outsider is near the temple in the north. Go and find him, he will be the first sacrifice for us to awaken God!"
Following his order, the hundreds of indigenous barbarians around him raised their weapons and shouted loudly. Then they spread out and ran toward the conspicuous temple under the lead of a few exceptionally strong barbarians.
Zhang Yu looked ahead. The Seal of Movement gave him extraordinary hearing, and he could clearly hear what the other party was saying. From their attire and conversation, it was not difficult for him to determine that this group of people were the remnants of the underground tribe outside Xiaoshan Town, the group that escaped from Dou Chang's hands.
He still remembered that these people had brought the sleeping EsGod, so it was very likely that they came here to find a host body for EsGod.
For EsGod, the ancient statue was close to his even more ancient self, so it was a very suitable host body.
Most of the EsGods were potential threats to the Governor-General. Since he had met these people here, he could not let them go!
Therefore, the light around him grew, and he turned into a green rainbow, diving toward the south end of the slanted depression on the island.
At this moment, the pendant in the hands of the old priest began to tremble crazily. His expression changed, and he immediately pulled the pendant off his neck and threw it in a certain direction!
With a crisp sound, the pendant shattered, and then a cloud of dazzling blue mist with stardust bloomed, enveloping the half-buried statue that was still intact.
However, after a few breaths, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the rock. The broken pieces of rock peeled off one by one, revealing skin that looked like that of a normal person.
The two hands of the statue clenched into fists at this time, and a force bloomed in an instant. A circular shock wave formed around his body, blowing away the gravel. Accompanied by a bright spiritual light, a handsome and strong man walked out of the pit with heavy steps.
