This golden statue looks extremely coquettish, and the overall material seems to be poured directly from a large piece of gold.
It is about four meters tall. In addition to the golden light emitted by gold, it is also dotted with thousands of various gemstones, large and small.
The image depicted in the statue is a fat goblin wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a huge colorful crown with a big belly and an extremely ugly face.
The hands of this giant goblin statue are placed on a gorgeous scepter, with its head held high and its chest raised, making a gesture of looking into the distant void.
The expression on its face is like that of an extremely arrogant king overlooking his territory, with incomparable arrogance and...
That's right, when Xue Hua approached the statue and observed it up close, the first thought that came to his mind was to chop off this damn thing, then dig out all the gold and gems on it, and take it back.
Sell it for a good price!
And this desire suddenly reached its peak when he saw the words engraved on the base of the statue!
——The disrespectful ones who trespass here, your ragged clothes and putrid breath have polluted the wonderful air in my kingdom. I warn you, either get out quickly, or kneel down, kiss my boots and give me the most sincere love.
Apologize and obey, otherwise you will suffer the most severe punishment! - "Greedy Monarch" Mogona.
"You damn, ignorant, greedy, arrogant fool! Only fools stupider than you will listen to your crazy words!
Today, labor and management will teach you how to be a good person, so that you will never dare to erect such a coquettish statue in a place like this again!"
Xue Hua's eyelids twitched wildly, and he held his right hand in the air, and a shining spiritual lightning gathered in his palm.
Just when he was about to smash the statue of this ugly idiot standing here, Isa urgently stopped his behavior in the main hive mind.
"Master! Please don't get excited! This is a trap!"
Isha's words stopped Xue Hua's psychic lightning that was about to take action. Then he realized almost immediately that he seemed to be too impulsive just now?
"What do you mean it's a trap, Isa?"
"This statue is a psychic trap. It exudes a special psychic wave that can interfere with the minds of living beings. Once you get close to the statue, the statue will turn into the most disgusting image in the hearts of those who are close, and the words on the base will also change.
It becomes the most disgusting statement to those who come close to it.
The purpose of all this is to lure people who are close to the statue to smash it. Once the statue is smashed, a series of dangerous psychic traps will be triggered. The strength of these psychic traps is very high, which is enough to blow up the statue.
A small island.”
"Furthermore, the psychic energy fluctuations emitted by this statue are not offensive, so they will be ignored by most powerful people.
But in fact, the more powerful the creature, the more likely it is to be disturbed by this statue, because among creatures that think individually, the more powerful the being, the stronger their self-esteem and the lower the bottom line of being offended."
Isha's words made Xue Hua break out in a cold sweat. This trap was so vicious that even the demon king and even the demon god who had been looking for this land at that time had fallen into this trap, right?
Fortunately, the insect swarm didn't care about the so-called "offense" at all, and was naturally directly immune to the psychic interference on the statue.
Otherwise, Xue Hua would probably have turned into a pile of debris floating in the void together with this island.
"Okay, why don't labor and management stay away from you?"
Xue Hua muttered in a low voice, resisted the impulse in his heart, and walked away from the statue.
Unlike temptation, the emotion of disgust will remain in the human heart for a long time and is difficult to eliminate.
Temptation can be weakened or even removed by diverting attention in various ways, but disgust will make your subconscious remind yourself all the time that you are staying with the thing you hate the most.
Therefore, Xue Hua had to stay far away from the statue and try his best not to look at the thing, so he could barely restrain the urge to blast the ghost thing into pieces with a focused psychic energy.
His patience showed results. When he left a certain range of the statue, the intense feeling of disgust suddenly disappeared.
At this time, he turned around and looked at the statue again, only to find that the image of the statue was no longer so specific, but instead turned into a hazy and blurry mass.
"Sure enough, there is something fishy..." Xue Hua sighed, no longer caring about the statue, but turned his attention to the nearby portal.
These eight portals look exactly the same from the outside, and I don’t know where each one leads to...
Xue Hua made a slight move with his left hand, and a dimensional door opened beside him, and more than ten springtails poured out from the dimensional door.
"Assign two springtails to each door. It should be okay to go check out the situation."
With this thought in mind, he was about to give orders to the springtails, but Isa stopped him again.
"These teleportation matrices are also traps, Lord. The real teleportation matrix is hidden. These false teleportation matrices will detonate the psychic traps on the island the moment they are touched."
"...What the hell, why is it so troublesome?"
Xue Hua sighed helplessly.
Isn't this damn "greedy monarch" too cowardly?
It hasn't even reached its territory and yet it has so many traps?
What's going on?
"Then what should we do now? Just wait here?"
"Master, you can use infected people and poisonous bugs to destroy the psychic trap system on the island. As long as those dangerous traps are removed, all other mechanisms will be nothing more than illusions."
"good idea!"
Xue Hua nodded and praised.
The infected can dig tunnels and detect psychic energy channels, while the poisonous bugs can release inhibitory spores. The former can safely approach those psychic traps, while the latter can drain all the psychic energy used to maintain the traps like a cauldron.
He immediately started following this plan, dispatching three groups of poisonous bugs and infected people, ordering them to destroy all psychic traps hidden within the entire island.
The three groups of psychic Zerg began to work immediately, but before their work was completed, Xue Hua could only continue to wander around the island with nothing to do.
He walked slowly to the edge of the island and looked into the dark and boundless void, but no matter what, he could only see darkness.
This is not the cosmic starry sky, but an endless deserted land. There are no stars twinkling in the night, and no luminous objects can be seen.
The only light source on the island is the golden light emitted by the portals, which flash dazzlingly and occasionally sway slightly, like eyes blinking in an orderly manner.
He didn't know where exactly this place was located. He only knew that it should be very far away from the second world, so far that even the connection with the main hive's mind was disconnected.
Fortunately, before leaving, he had already asked Zagara to continue carrying out the cleaner plan.
However, there was another thing that made him feel a little bit wrong, that is, because the main hive mind was disconnected, Isa's observation of the negotiation between Keles and Harens was also interrupted.
According to Isa, the negotiation was almost over. Although both parties had been very restrained and friendly during the negotiation process, no one could guarantee whether there would be any problems at the last minute.
He can only hope that those star spirits will realize the current situation, otherwise, even though he is very reluctant, he can only say sorry to Keles. (To be continued)
