A tall figure walked slowly toward us among the wormwood.
The figure was about two and a half meters tall, with stiff movements. Under the dim moonlight, the expressionless face was pale, with protruding eyes and a raised mouth, resembling a human or an animal.
"What is that?" Dongzi almost screamed.
"Stone figurines!" Lu Xiaohong's eyes were fixed on the "person" walking towards us for a moment, and he said the answer with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, be careful, there are a lot of these things here!" Bai Yao followed.
Following Bai Yao's voice, slight "click, click" sounds came from all directions.
Eight stone figurines slowly stood up from the wormwood bushes around us, as if they suddenly emerged from the ground.
They all held a huge stone ax high in their hands, and moved slowly and stiffly to surround us.
With a tacit understanding, we divided into three groups back to back, facing in three directions the human figurines slowly walking toward us.
Lu Xiaohong and I were in a group, Bai Yao and Hao Jingde were in a group, and Lian Ruowei and Dongzi were in a group.
Standing back to back like this, we were surprised to realize that one person was missing.
Chen Laizi didn't know when he disappeared.
After getting on the stone platform, Hao Jingde loosened the rope that tied him up. Later, Chen Cripple helped us snatch back the backpack Shi Xian had thrown away, so after entering the city, Hao Jingde didn't tie him up again.
superior.
Unexpectedly, he ran away secretly.
"Master, do you think these stone figurines were created by the lame man? We obviously didn't see these when we came in just now." Dongzi held the exorcism knife tightly in front of his chest as a warning, and turned to ask Hao Jingde
.
"It's hard to say, but since he dared to escape, he must have found a strong helper. We should be careful." Hao Jingde said in a deep voice.
"Damn it, we shouldn't believe him, we should tie him up again!" Dongzi cursed in a low voice.
"Cripple has been here a long time ago!" Hao Jingde looked at Dongzi and suddenly said.
"Master, how do you know?" Dongzi asked curiously.
"Think about it yourself!" Hao Jingde said angrily.
As we spoke, the eight stone figurines were getting closer and closer to us, only five or six meters away.
Although their movements are slow and stiff, the range of each step is large.
The first stone figurine we saw was only about two meters away from Sean. It stopped, looked at Sean with its stone eyes without eyeballs, and fiercely moved the huge stone ax in its hand.
Swing it at Sean's head.
Sean let out a deep roar, jumped up, showed his sharp claws, and swung towards the neck of the stone figurine.
The harsh sound was like a steel knife scraping against the rock, and a string of tiny sparks burst out. The huge stone ax in the hand of the stone figurine was knocked empty, and he took a step forward and raised the stone ax high again.
Sean's body hit the chest of the stone figurine, and after somersaulting in the air, he raised his tiger claws and slapped the stone figurine's neck again.
The figurine took a step back stiffly, and there was a slight "click-click" sound from its neck.
Sean rushed forward again, swung out his tiger claws again, and slapped the stone figurine hard on the neck.
Small cracks began to appear on the neck of the stone figurine, and the hand swinging the stone ax stopped in mid-air.
With the sound of "click, click, click", the cracks between the necks of the stone figurines expanded rapidly and densely. In just an instant, the two-meter-high stone figurines collapsed and broke into a pile of rubble.
"Ouch——"
Sean let out a proud growl, turned around and ran to my feet, wagging his tail at me proudly.
The other stone figurines did not stop because of the fragmentation of their companions, and continued to surround us with "dong dong dong" steps that shook the sky.
This is a group of walking weapons without conscious thought.
Another thing I find strange is why Sean's eyes turned golden when he first saw the stone figurines.
After coming to southern Yunnan, I found that Sean's eyes often turned golden. However, after many observations, I found that Sean's eyes would only change color when he saw spiritual objects or evil spirits.
When I saw Sean staring at the figurine and his eyes changing color, I thought that the stone figurine was possessed by evil spirits or something like that. But now it seems that it is obviously not the case. There is nothing on the stone figurine, and I don’t have it either. Did you see something evil?
Sean nudged his head at my feet, and suddenly rushed towards the pile of gravel. At the same time, a slender yellow shadow emerged from the gravel and rushed towards the grass. .
The speed was so fast that the slender shadow disappeared into the grass in an instant, and I didn't even have time to see the thing clearly.
It just vaguely feels like some kind of animal.
After Sean jumped in the grass and bit a few times, he squatted on the ground dejectedly and groaned twice. Then he jumped up again, showed off his tiger claws like he was letting out anger, and frantically raised his stone ax high towards the other one. The stone figurines were slapped on their necks.
At this moment, another huge stone figurine suddenly stood up slowly from the wormwood behind Sean, raised its stone ax high and chopped down on Sean.
The stone figurine was too tall. Sean had already jumped into the air. There were stone figurines in front and behind him. Two huge stone axes had been raised high towards it. It seemed that it was inevitable to avoid it.
"Sean, be careful!" I warned Sean as I took off the white dragon scales that I was holding tightly in my hand and flew them out, directly aiming at the neck of the stone figurine that suddenly came out.
There was a soft "ding" sound, and the entire blade of Baipi Dragon Scale was completely inserted into the neck of the stone figurine.
There were no sparks, and there were no cracks on the stone figurines. What was strange was that blood gushed out from the necks of the stone figurines. The bright red blood flowed out from the blood groove of the dragon scale dagger, staining the gray-white stone figurines. On her chest, it seemed as if a charming flower suddenly bloomed.
The body of the stone figurine paused, and after two seconds, it fell to the ground with a crash and fell into a pile of rubble.
The Baipi Dragon Scales made a slight buzzing sound, then spun and flew back to my hand.
There are many times now that I am not even sure whether I used my inner strength to retrieve the white dragon scale from a distance, or whether it came back consciously. Every time I just raised my hand, it returned to my hand.
During a casual chat, Lu Xiaohong told me that weapons will produce weapon souls as they age. The Baipi Dragon Scale has a history of one or two thousand years. I don’t know if it has a weapon soul. Anyway, I have never seen it. Pass.
Back to business.
After I solved Sean's worries, I didn't have time to think too much about why the stone figurine was bleeding, so I turned back and looked around.
Except for the stone figurine that Sean intercepted halfway, the other seven stone figurines have surrounded us. Bai Yao, Lu Xiaohong and Hao Jingde are more than enough to deal with two of them each, and three of them have been broken into stones one after another.
