Chapter 669: The Giant Stone Statue

rom headquarters, and I hope you trust me."Finally, Xia Chuixue's last words, "Zhu Mu, I hope you can believe me," Qiao Baier heard very clearly."Lord Jun has always trusted her…" Qiao Baoer murmured,..."...And have you been hearing those hallucinations too" Jun Zhimu asked Qiao Bao'er calmly.

Everyone was waiting for him to answer, but he asked her instead. Qiao Bao'er felt a sense of heavy responsibility and immediately became nervous. She shook her head. "No."

"After I arrived in the swamp, I haven't heard any hallucinations from my brain anymore."

"The shepherd's face remained calm as he glanced once more at the map, then tucked it away. He looked around at everyone, his voice low and steady, "We move forward... we follow any path we find, and when there is no path left, we stop."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, "Okay."

For Old Ghost and the others, there was no need to think too much. They obeyed whatever Junzhi Mu said.

After the morning mist dissipated, they looked out and saw a vast plain before them, covered in lush green grasslands that seemed to stretch endlessly.

Such a blue sky, fresh air, and vast grassland before their eyes. The environment here was completely different from what they had experienced on the island of wild men before. Even the smell of the air had turned sweet. It was particularly peaceful and quiet, as if this place were a completely different world from the outside.

They couldn't describe how they felt, but there was something strange about the place.

Such a vast expanse of grassland, it was impossible to tell which direction was east, west, north, or south. Which way should they go Junzhi led the way, he didn't seem too particular either, just chose a direction that looked relatively easier to travel.

Besides the emerald green grass, it's still just grass.

They walked for more than an hour, always alert, paying attention to the sounds around them. The sun overhead wasn't harsh, it warmed them gently. There was no wind, and the prairie seemed to be frozen in time. Because they had walked such a long distance, they hadn't heard any animal calls at all, it was very quiet.

This made them feel a little creeped out.

They held their weapons tightly, not relaxing for a moment.

In this tranquil grassland, after walking for nearly four hours, they seemed to be traveling through a still life painting. This vast prairie was beautiful, flawless, with tender green grass meticulously covering the entire plain, not one extra weed or missing blade.

"Over there, there's a statue!" Finally, they saw something different. The crab couldn't help but point with his claw towards the right front and shout.

The chieftain, leading his men, approached the statue without hesitation.

When they all reached the statue, they were all amazed. This deep blue, towering statue was about three stories high. Standing below it, they could only look up at it.

"...This was carved from a single piece of stone." How big must that original stone have been.

This kind of stone material, Lao Gui tried to chisel it several times with an obsidian knife, but he couldn't even leave a scratch. Its density is comparable to that of a diamond.

"This stone is very similar to the meteorites found on the barbarian islands." Qiao Bao'er said, recognizing it.

The meteorites on the Isle of Savages are black, unlike this stone.

The meteorites on the island of savages are weathered and eroded year after year. If you pick up a meteorite and wash it repeatedly, it will turn this ink blue.

qiao bao'er once sold small meteorites as flint and knows a little about these stones.

"This statue is carved from a meteorite" Lao Gui was amazed again, scrutinizing the big stone. It seemed to have quite a history.

This statue depicts a standing elder. He is clad in armor, his hands holding peacefully a massive sword. His head is adorned with long, thick hair, a square face, and a full beard. His high nose bridge and deeply-carved eyes, sharp and piercing, gaze intently in one direction.

Looking at the expression carved on the statue, it looks like a guardian.

His piercing gaze seemed ever vigilant, wary of intruders.

In Junzhi's team, there was a member who was very skilled at sketching. Without a word, he immediately put down his large backpack, took out his brush and ink, and quickly sketched the statue simply.

“It was looking northwest,” Junzhimu said, following the direction of the giant statue’s eyes. He paused for a moment, then added, “Let's go see... what exactly is leading us to this place.”

Lao Gui and the others felt a fire ignite within them. Compared to facing the unknown perils of life and death, their curiosity and desire to explore the depths of human nature had them all buzzing with excitement.

That's how humans are, it is this reckless and restless spirit that has led to more advanced civilizations.

Everyone quickened their pace.

"Scared" Jun Zhimou walked to Qiao Baier's side and suddenly asked her.

Jo Bao'er hesitated and turned her head, thinking for a moment, "I'm afraid." But her tone wasn't overly panicked, she just told the truth.

The unknown is inherently fear-inducing.

"Anyway, we can't get out. Like you said, just keep moving forward as long as there's a path," she said calmly.

Junzhi Mu looked into her eyes, and now he was relieved.

"You said this grassland didn't have any movement at all. It felt different from the swamp over there," Qiao Baoer asked him seriously.

"I don't know," said the king's shepherd, with a smile.

"Don't you know anything"

"I don't know, how can you be so calm"

"If I don't stay calm, they'll panic."

They walked side by side, chatting softly, as if they hadn't felt this peaceful in a long time.

Lao Gui and Lu Qinan quickened their pace, occasionally glancing back at the colossal stone statue behind them. A burning curiosity and thirst for exploration swelled within them. "We should be on the right track, shouldn't we That statue seems to be facing this way. I wonder if any wild beasts will come out,"

"There might be a treasure."

"Balderdash, look at the solemn expression carved on that statue. It can't be good news."

"Then we're just going to go die, why are you so excited"

Yes, a person lives his whole life, he would rather come here to die than stay in the savage palace, waiting endlessly.

They are all a restless bunch.

The sun began to set, and Lu Qinan and the others thought they would have to spend the night on this vast prairie. Just as the last rays of sunlight were shining, they realized that they had been circling in the same place all along.

They remained under the stone statue, not moving far away.

"How could this be"

Haze began to gradually envelop them, and as they stood within it, everything started to become blurry.

Legend has it that at the very moment of sunset, the two worlds can be connected.

Jo Baoer didn't understand these legends, but a strange feeling arose in her heart, as if a voice was calling her, making her turn her head abruptly.

She saw a small dark shadow.

"That, that black cat…" Qiao Bao'er immediately grabbed Jun Zhi Mu beside her and quickly said, "Do I seem to know that cat before"

Junzhi Mu followed her gaze, but saw nothing.

Jun's shepherd frowned, becoming wary. "Where"

qiao Bao'er pointed in one direction, "Right there, it's talking to me."father, three female colleagues walked over.Qiao Bao'er jumped up and urged, "Jun Zhi Mu, you go quickly."Jun gazed at her with a deep, unreadable look in his eyes."Don't get me in trouble, okay This...
