"Could it be done by the ancestors of the barbarians?" Shi Mu looked at this dark thing and murmured to himself thoughtfully.
He looked towards the surrounding jungle, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he walked quickly to the left, pushing aside patches of thorns and grass, and a larger stone carving appeared in front of him.
This is the upper body of a statue, lying sideways in the grass.
The object carved in the statue is not a bird or animal, it looks like a half-man, half-animal monster, with ears on the top of the head and canine teeth exposed in the mouth, like a werewolf.
Shi Mu frowned slightly. The appearance of this stone statue was somewhat similar to that of the barbarians after they activated their totem power. It seemed that it might have been made by the ancestors of the barbarians.
In the jungle in front of the stone sculpture, you can see several other scattered broken parts of the statue, and there seem to be more in the distance.
Shi Mu was surprised and walked towards there. Along the way, there were more and more broken stone sculptures on the ground, including statues, some stone pillars, or collapsed walls and other ruins.
He was more and more surprised and quickened his pace.
The trees in front became increasingly sparse. Shi Mu quickly walked out of the woods and his body was shaken.
A large forest clearing appeared in front of them. In the clearing was a dilapidated huge stone building, built against the mountain wall, which seemed to be a relic left over from ancient times.
Shi Mu approached the ruins and found that there were some altars, temples and other ruins in the ruins.
In the center of the ruins is a relatively well-preserved dome stone building. Most of it collapsed. Some of the surrounding buildings have already collapsed and turned into ruins. The dome building is surrounded by stars like the moon.
Shi Mu's eyes swept across the ruins, and finally landed on the domed building.
I saw that in this mostly collapsed building, there was still a huge statue that was more than ten feet high.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed. This statue was somewhat similar to the one he saw outside just now. It was a half-human, half-animal stone statue.
The face of this stone statue is somewhat like a human, but the features are hideous and ugly, with angry eyes and fangs, a wide open mouth, and long horns that are as curved as a goat, but the ears are also very similar to sheep ears, and its upper body is full of muscles.
It is extremely strong, its hands are no different from those of humans, but its feet are like sheep's hooves.
The stone statue's arms are raised in one hand and lowered in the other. The raised hand holds something that looks like a flute, but there are only three holes in it. I don't know what it is.
What made Shi Mu click his tongue was that the stone statue was completely preserved, which was in sharp contrast to the dilapidated ruins around it.
After Shi Mu looked at it for a few times, his eyes fell on the statue's face again and he looked at it a few more times.
Suddenly, a frightening breath hit his face, making him feel breathless.
He shuddered and quickly looked away, and his body slowly returned to calm.
He was a little horrified, but at the same time there was a hint of joy in his heart.
This statue actually has this kind of telepathic power. It seems that this ruins must be of great importance. Maybe it is also an important place for the ancient barbarians.
He stopped looking at the statues, walked into the ruins, and started rummaging around. He quickly looked through everything here, with a trace of disappointment on his face.
There are pieces of rubble or rotten wood everywhere here, nothing containing any spiritual energy.
Shi Mu was determined not to give up and searched again, but still found nothing.
His expression changed, and then he smiled bitterly.
It seems that he is too greedy.
Just as Shi Mu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint red light coming from the lowered hand of the statue.
He walked over quickly and soon discovered that the weak red light in the statue's hand was a fiery red stone the size of a fist. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to spot it at all.
Thoughts swirled in Shi Mu's heart, he gritted his teeth, jumped up and took down the fiery red stone, and then ran towards the way he came.
It wasn't until he left the ruins dozens of feet away that nothing strange came from behind him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, put the stone in his hand in front of him and looked at it carefully.
There are dark red lines on the surface of this stone, and it flashes slightly as if it is alive. Its tentacles are warm, which is quite strange. You can tell at a glance that it is not a mortal thing.
After Shi Mu looked at it for a few times and didn't recognize it, he put the stone away and quickly returned to the original route without staying here any longer.
…
At the same time, a group of five people appeared at the entrance of the valley that Shi Mu entered. They were the five totem warriors from the Fierce Snake Tribe and the Mangniu Tribe.
The bald man of the Fierce Snake tribe holds a bone disc with a snake letter pointer on it pointing to the depths of the valley.
"It seems he must have gone in." The bald man closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and said.
"Look at the terrain here. There is no sign on the map. It should be a dead end. Hehe, it is easier to catch a turtle in a jar. It saves him the chance to escape." Another thin man from the Fierce Snake Tribe took out a piece of animal skin and looked at it.
After a while, he laughed a few times and said.
"In that case, why are you still standing around? Go in!" Mang Kun snorted coldly, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Wait a minute!" the black-faced man from the Mangniu tribe shouted, walking quickly towards the side and arriving at a pool not far away.
Here lay the corpse of a huge fiery red wild boar beast. There was a deep wound on the head, which seemed to be a knife wound, almost splitting the war boar's head in half.
"Red Flame War Pig!" The man blurted out with a startled look on his face.
Several other people also came over and their expressions changed slightly when they saw the wild boar carcass.
"Looking at the size of this war pig, his strength should be late in life. Looking at his appearance, he should be able to kill with one strike." The bald man's face was a little solemn.
"That Shi Mu really has some strength, we can't be careless."
"Hmph! I just killed a red flame war pig, what's the fuss? Go in and kill him quickly, I've already wasted a lot of time." Mang Kun snorted, turned around and walked towards the canyon.
Seeing this, the black-faced man hesitated slightly, but still followed closely.
The bald man glanced at the corpse of Chiyan Zhanzhu, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He shook his head, no longer thinking about the matter, and headed into the canyon with his two men.
…
Deep in the canyon, Shi Mu walked briskly towards the outside of the canyon.
After passing through a bush, he suddenly stopped and looked forward with a solemn expression, his eyes instantly turning pale gold.
The next moment, his expression changed, and he hid behind a huge ancient tree next to him. He looked like an ape and climbed up in three clicks.
Halfway through the climb, he stopped and looked forward.
Even the shadows of the trees in the canyon could not block his sight. In the dense forest hundreds of feet ahead, a group of five people were quickly heading into the canyon.
These five barbarians all had a look of solemnity on their faces, and their eyes glanced around vigilantly from time to time, as if they were looking for something.
"Fierce Snake Tribe..." Shi Mu muttered when he saw the snake-shaped totems on the right arms of three of them.
He closed his eyes and couldn't help but recall the cold gaze cast by the priest of the Serpent Tribe before entering the forbidden area. Then he opened his eyes with a slight frown and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After thinking about it, Shi Mu got down from the ancient tree, took out the Sky-Breaking Bow, and disappeared into the jungle behind.
Among the members of the Fierce Snake Tribe, the bald man who was walking at the front suddenly stopped and raised one hand, stopping several people who were walking with him and listening attentively.
"What's wrong?" Mang Kun on the side frowned and asked.
The bald man listened for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face.
He heard a faint strange noise just now, but it was fleeting, and he himself doubted whether he heard it correctly.
It's a pity that the disc magic weapon given by the priest can only roughly sense the direction, and it has no effect when used at close range.
"Everyone, be careful. I'm afraid the other party has discovered our traces..." The bald man sighed in his heart and said.
But just as he finished speaking, there was a soft "crash" deep in the dense forest ahead, and a black shadow flashed away.
"There! Chase!"
The bald man's eyes were focused, and he was overjoyed. He flew away and rushed towards the direction where the black shadow flashed.
Several other people also saw the figure in the dense forest and rushed towards him as well.
The five people were all very fast, and their bodies flashed several times before they arrived at the place where the figure just flickered.
But the place is already empty, and there are no people anywhere.
"Up there!" The bald man glanced around, and from the corner of his eye he saw a dark shadow suddenly rising in the shade of the trees above his head, and shouted.
With a wave of his arm, the green long whip flew out like a poisonous snake in his hand, transforming into several whip shadows and striking towards the top of his head.
Hearing this, the other four people didn't think much and launched attacks upward.
The attacks of several people shattered the tree trunks, branches and leaves, revealing the black figure, but it was a coat made of gray wolf skin, not a human figure.
The bald man and others were startled, but the next moment, Mang Kun snorted, and the giant ax in his hand flew into the air, and instantly crushed the wolfskin coat into pieces, turning it into pieces of cloth all over the sky.
But at this moment, a slight muffled sound sounded from the cloth in the sky, and white powder suddenly appeared above the heads of several people, and sprinkled down, covering the five people below.
At this moment, several people raised their heads and stared at the sky with wide eyes. They were caught off guard, and a lot of white powder fell into their eyes. Their eyes suddenly started to hurt, and screams immediately came from their mouths.
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded.
"Beware of cold arrows!"
The bald man's eyes were in severe pain and he couldn't open his eyes, but his ears keenly picked up the sound. He suddenly dodged to the side and shouted loudly.
Before he could finish his words, there were two more sharp whistling sounds.
Ah! Two screams sounded!
The bald man's heart trembled. In his panic, he didn't even hear who was hit by the arrow. His body rolled to the ground and rolled to the side.
Boom!
The big tree with the wolf fur coat hanging on it seemed to have been tampered with a long time ago. At this moment, it fell down directly, suppressing the two screams under the branches and leaves.
The bald man rolled several feet away. Although his eyes were still in pain, it had eased a bit and he could barely open his eyes.
At this moment, from the bushes not far from him, a red sword light suddenly appeared and slashed hard.
There was another scream, followed by a muffled sound of a body falling to the ground.
