Chapter 709: 706, Deep in the Secret Realm_1
Fujiwara Chika’s days were tough.
However, on the same Savage Continent, Sky Dragon’s days seem to be quite comfortable.
In a hidden realm at the highlands of the Savage Continent, Sky Dragon is unleashing her power and scouring the area.
The environment within the hidden realm is a forest, with a towering mountain peak at the eastern side of the forest.
Many statue guardians of varying strengths, ranging from third to fifth levels, are arranged in the hidden realm, extending from the bottom of the mountain in the forest to the top of the peak.
Sky Dragon started inside the forest when entering the hidden realm.
...
She went through her challenges and battles hand in hand with her pet panda, taking down the statue guardians, and eventually reached the deepest part of the hidden realm – the peak of the eastern mountain of the forest.
The peak of the mountain was completely covered in white snow, a blanket of whiteness as far as the eye could see.
At the center of the peak was a small, twinkling rainbow-colored magic barrier with a diameter of about two meters, which seemed to contain something.
Next to the barrier stood a large, ten-meter tall statue that somewhat resembled a gargoyle that had been transformed in a game.
The statue, in a gray-brown stone color, was guarding the small magic barrier.
The moment Sky Dragon climbed the peak with her panda, a “cracking” sound was heard from inside the sculpture.

With the sound, the grayish stone layer on the surface of the statue quickly fell off, revealing its black metallic-like body.
The sculpture as a whole had the form of a gargoyle, with eyes glowing in a blinding red light, fully activated.
Sky Dragon and her panda, Dumpling, were already accustomed to this spectacle.
They climbed from the foot of the mountain to the peak, killing about three to four dozen statue guardians, and it was always the same – the stone peeling off, revealing glowing red eyes.
The only difference was that the guardians they had encountered so far were small; the smallest was even comparable to the size of a dog.
However, the statue in front of them stood ten meters high, imposing and powerful, clearly the final “boss”.
Seeing this large statue, Sky Dragon couldn’t help but complain: “Why does being on Skru Star always feel like I’m playing solo missions in a game?”
But complaining didn’t stop her from acting.
“Dumpling, attack!” She gestured to the panda Dumpling and drew her bow, with three Mithril Arrows “whooshing” towards the statue’s chest like shooting stars.
Growl—
Dumpling roared angrily, activating its skill Ursol’s Fury.
A brown glow burst from Dumpling’s body and quickly covered it.
Under the glow, Dumpling’s body inflated rapidly from two meters to eight meters. Its intimidating presence truly resembled a legendary beast, giving a sense of “Chiyou’s mount”.
Ursol’s Fury doubled the panda’s health, increased its strength by 50%, raised its defense by 70%, and improved its attack speed by 45%.
After activating the skill, it immediately pounced towards the statue, its fat paws pressing down harshly on the statue’s body.
But who knew, this large statue was not weak.
The statue had a combat analysis module installed inside it. It quickly deduced that the greatest threat wasn’t the 8 meters tall bear, but Sky Dragon, who was constantly shooting arrows at it from the side.
The entire process of Sky Dragon shooting arrows was done on the ground.
Although she could fly and shoot arrows in the air, unlike a mage, the recoil of a bow is substantial. Shooting arrows in mid-air is inconvenient. To exert her maximum power, she had to be grounded, firing each arrow practically.
For the statue, having the target on the ground made things much easier!
The statue swiftly and deftly dodged Dumpling’s paw, its nimbleness contradictory to its size. The statue then whirled around towards Sky Dragon, who was behind Dumpling.
But Sky Dragon wasn’t the least bit panicked.
Without waiting for her command, Dumpling released the common warcraft skill for bear species, the Growl.
The skill “Growl” is equivalent to the Defense Warrior’s “Taunt”, which can forcibly compel the enemy to attack itself, thereby effectively protecting teammates.
Roar——
With a low growl from the panda Dumpling, a soil-yellow halo emanated from its mouth, and the large statue hit by the halo was instantly coerced into turning around, moving toward Dumpling.
Dumpling was already used to such a scene.
Taking advantage of the taunt’s ongoing duration, it once again pressed its hefty bear paw towards the chest of the statue, intending to smash this broken mechanical beast using its surged strength.
Sky Dragon also seized this opportunity to launch her strongest attack, with arrows flying from the bowstring in bunches and sticking into the vital areas like the chest and joints of the statue.
Just as Dumpling’s bear paw was about to touch the chest of the statue, an accident happened!
The eyes of the statue had originally been flashing with piercing red light, but at this moment, the light from the eye socket suddenly changed, and the original red light was replaced by blue light.
This blue light was not ordinary.
After the blue light replaced the red light, it scanned over the statue’s body from top to bottom like a 3D scanner, and instantly dissolved the control effect on it!
Dumpling’s “Growl” skill was directly invalidated!
Not waiting for Dumpling and Sky Dragon to react, the blue light in the eyes of the large statue switched back to red again.
Then it turned around at an unimaginable speed and charged directly toward Sky Dragon’s position.
Dumpling’s bear paws again fell on an empty place as the statue was quickly closing in on Sky Dragon.
…
But Sky Dragon remained calm.
She murmured to herself, “The strength of this large statue should have reached the sixth level, no wonder it’s so hard to deal with.”
Just now, after entering the secret realm, she had been breezing through challenges, killing mechanical beasts of third to fifth levels, which was not difficult for her who was in the sixth level.
But now, the statue in the final challenge clearly possessed the strength of the sixth level, and this was truly hard to confront.
Looking at the rushing large statue, Sky Dragon subconsciously wanted to fly up to dodge.
But just as she was about to take off, she suddenly realized something—if she continued to dodge and engage in a protracted battle with the statue, she might not be able to defeat it!
This statue, despite its large size, had an exceptionally nimble body.
In comparison, the panda Dumpling was much clumsier, and Dumpling’s attacks were not landing on the statue at all.
Her own attack, Sky Dragon realized, was actually also hard to break through the statue’s defenses.
The bow she was wielding now was called “Clear Sky Bow”, a fourth-level epic weapon.
A big part of the Archer class’s damage depends on the weapon, and it was hard for the fourth-level weapon she was currently using to inflict substantial damage on the statue.
Earlier, she had shot out a string of arrows, hitting the vital parts of the statue like its chest and joints and the arrows penetrating several inches, but this did not affect the statue’s ability to move at all, indicating that the damage caused by the arrows was extremely limited.
This made Sky Dragon understand—if she continued to fight this way, the one likely to lose would be herself!
So what should she do?
After a moment of thought, an idea flashed through her mind like lightning.
Perhaps this was the concept to break the stalemate!
With this in mind, Sky Dragon decided not to dodge anymore.
She raised her bow and arrows in her left hand and flew straight towards the statue.
The statue and Sky Dragon quickly closed in on each other, and soon the distance was less than 30 meters.
What do you think?
