Chapter 529: Chapter 577 Statue Demon

Chapter 577

This ancient city was enormous, occupying nearly half of Death God Valley.

So, everyone discovered it.

They all rushed to the ancient city, excited and fearful at the same time about this ancient city that reeked of darkness—for so many years, Death God Valley had never undergone such a change.

What the origins of this ancient city were remained a mystery to everyone.

But they were certain that the city must have an extraordinary history; otherwise, it wouldn’t be buried in Death God Valley.

...

Long Xiaoshan, of course, saw the ancient city as well.

Now he was at the foot of the ancient city, baffled by its sudden appearance, although his Heavenly Eye could see a dark aura swirling above the city.

Nevertheless, Long Xiaoshan did not hesitate to step into the city.

He had come to Death God Valley looking for opportunities, and he had to pass through the ancient city to find Lan Wan’er and the others.

After entering the city, Long Xiaoshan noticed that the effectiveness of his Heavenly Eye was greatly weakened. There was an immense Formation here, and although it was now damaged, its complexity far surpassed any Formation Long Xiaoshan had previously encountered.

Furthermore, Long Xiaoshan noticed that not only were the buildings marvelously large, but they were also all constructed from enormous stones.

No one knew how many years this ancient city had been buried.

Could such a grand civilization have existed in ancient times?

Capable of building such massive structures.

Was this place like the Exquisite Ancient City or the lost civilization of Atlantis?

The deeper Long Xiaoshan went, the more murals he discovered, each depicting beings that were half-human, half-demon—some with human heads and bird bodies, some with six limbs, others covered in scales, half-human, half-fish.

These hybrid creatures lived in communities similar to humans, cooking food over fire or hunting ferocious beasts.

It wasn’t long before.

A large pit appeared in front of Long Xiaoshan, filled with innumerable statues, standing upright like Terracotta Warriors.

They looked incredibly lifelike.

If this place were ever discovered and revealed to the world, it would surely shock people even more than the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang.

No sooner had Long Xiaoshan glanced over them than he felt something was off. On closer examination, he realized that although the statues had been facing forward in various poses, their eyes were now all looking at him.

That was the most eerie part.

Even the normally fearless Long Xiaoshan felt a chill down his spine.

Before he had time to ponder further,

the statues began to move.

They suddenly leaped out of the pit, and a Statue Demon with horns on its head was the first to charge at Long Xiaoshan. These Statue Demons stood three to four meters tall, making Long Xiaoshan seem like a mere child in front of them.

“Holy crap!”

Long Xiaoshan immediately threw a punch in retaliation!

Crack!

Their fists collided, and a tremendous force sent Long Xiaoshan flying backwards.

Quite powerful.

Though that punch wasn’t Long Xiaoshan’s full strength, even a punch not at full force from him could have shattered a millstone—but he was sent flying by the statue.

Long Xiaoshan swiftly moved to the side of the statue, throwing a punch that clearly shook his wrist.

Boom Crack!

This punch directly shattered half of the statue’s body, and large chunks of stone flew off.

Huff huff!

More statue demons rushed forward, some with bare hands, some wielding knives, swords, and axes, all chopping towards Long Xiaoshan. He struck out with his fists and feet, blasting towards those statue demons.

Under the Spiral Force, statue demons were smashed to pieces, stone shards flying everywhere.

Boom!

The head of one statue demon was shattered, and from inside flew out a gray Gu Insect. Long Xiaoshan finally understood why these statues could move—it was because of the Gu Insects.

These Gu Insects could actually live for so many years.

Long Xiaoshan was very interested in these kinds of Gu Insects.

He grabbed the gray Gu Insect, sealed it in a bottle, and threw it into his Space Ring.

As more and more statue demons attacked, even Long Xiaoshan with his indestructible body couldn’t withstand the assault of hundreds of them. After killing dozens of statue demons, Long Xiaoshan immediately turned and fled.

A massive group of statue demons followed close behind him.

Long Xiaoshan didn’t know how long he had run for. These statue demons chased him relentlessly, like madmen, and no matter how he ran, he couldn’t shake them off. He was left gasping for breath. Did he really have to kill them all? But facing hundreds of statue demons, killing them all would surely exhaust him to death.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to him. He remembered that he had refined many Array Jade Plaques. Wondering if they would be of any use, Long Xiaoshan immediately took out more than a dozen Array Jade Plaques and planted them around him in the ground.

A thick fog rolled in, instantly shrouding the area of dozens of meters around him.

The Statue Demons lost track of Long Xiaoshan and circled aimlessly within the formation. A look of joy appeared on Long Xiaoshan’s face; it worked! He quickly deployed more Jade Tokens, enveloping all the Statue Demons within.

A moment later.

Long Xiaoshan slipped out from one side of the formation and quickly left.

He didn’t know how long the formation could hold those statue demons, so it was important to find Lan Wan’er and the others first. Sensing the direction of Affection and Gu, he ran wildly for a while,

and soon he heard some shouting and killing ahead.

He ran swiftly towards the noise.

To his surprise, he saw a group of familiar old acquaintances.

Not only were there people from the Serpent Witch Sect, but also several forces from the Southern Seas Powers.

These people were being chased and killed by a large group of statue demons.

And they were being slaughtered miserably.

Without going into details, Long Xiaoshan saw that at least half of the people from the Serpent Witch Sect were gone, and the other powers had suffered similarly, with many dead.

Even the Divine Serpent of the Serpent Witch Sect had many wounds on its body. These Gu Masters weren’t powerful on their own, they could only fend off the statue demons with their beast pets, because their witchcraft was completely ineffective against such non-human creatures.

These people were still fighting. Seeing Long Xiaoshan appear, relaxed and seemingly just passing by, Long Xiaoshan was not on good terms with these people, and he even had a score to settle with the Serpent Witch Sect, so naturally he wasn’t keen on helping them.

Gedanwei was currently hiding on the back of the Divine Serpent. Suddenly seeing Long Xiaoshan appear, he shouted loudly, “You’re not dead yet?”

With annoyance, Long Xiaoshan replied, “Of course I’m not dead. You guys abandoned me, and I have yet to settle the score with you.”

The Snake Spirit Zunzhe blushed; after all, it wasn’t a glorious thing. He quickly said, “Wolf Slayer Honored One, now is not the time to talk about this. If we do not kill all these statue demons, we won’t be able to leave here today.”

“That’s your problem, not mine. Keep killing; I’ll be leaving first.”

“Wait! Wait!”

Seeing Long Xiaoshan about to leave, the Snake Spirit Zunzhe hurriedly called out.

They had all encountered statue demons; there was no reason Long Xiaoshan hadn’t. Could it be that Long Xiaoshan had a way to deal with these statue demons? And even if he didn’t, Long Xiaoshan was extremely strong, exactly the type to overpower statue demons.

Such a powerful ally could not be allowed to escape; otherwise, they would surely fall here today.

Long Xiaoshan turned his head and asked, “What else is there?”

“Wolf Slayer Honored One, we were in the wrong before. If you have a way to deal with the statue demons, help us out. I definitely won’t let you down; whatever you want, I can give it to you,” pleaded the Snake Spirit Zunzhe, offering terms.
