Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
There stood a human-shaped stone sculpture, exquisitely carved, almost identical to an Immortal Master, so much so that even Qin Xuan had to praise it as a fine piece.
“Don’t say it, this thing does look good, at least the carving skill has reached the Grandmaster Realm…”
Han Ye said, but after a long pause, his voice stopped.
“This thing is too lifelike.”
Han Ye said in surprise.
Qin Xuan walked to the statue and illuminated it.
Looking at the face on the statue, Qin Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
Just as Han Ye said, this thing looked too lifelike.
Leaving aside everything else, if this thing didn't look like a statue, Qin Xuan would have thought it was real.
This was a half-human, half-beast monster, with the upper body of a Human Race and the lower body of a wolf.
“A half-human, half-wolf statue, quite interesting. I just wonder how this thing was carved?”
Wu Feng Sword tapped on the statue.
Qin Xuan said nothing more and continued forward.
He initially thought this statue was just a coincidence, but as Qin Xuan continued to advance, the statues along the way began to increase.
All these statues were lifelike and looked incredibly exquisite.
Looking at these statues, the doubts in Qin Xuan’s heart began to multiply.
If it was just one or two, he could accept it, but the further he went inside, the more such statues appeared.
Some of these statues had fallen to the ground, losing their limbs; some looked out of the passage with expressions of terror; and some seemed to be running outwards.
Regardless, these statues all seemed to want to run out of the passage, which made Qin Xuan somewhat curious.
“How could the sculptor who carved these things carve so many of them? And all with this kind of appearance, it’s truly strange.”
Qin Xuan was very puzzled; there were simply too many of these things along the way.
“The situation is probably not that simple.”
Han Ye said, his voice now clearly tinged with deep wariness.
For no other reason than that too many of these things had appeared before them.
This was already very abnormal.
“Such lifelike statues, and so many of them, I’m afraid these things aren’t truly stone statues, or rather, they weren’t stone statues before.”
They weren't stone statues before?
Qin Xuan was startled, then quickly reacted.
Could it be that these stone statues were transformed from living beings?
Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
At this moment, Qin Xuan’s heart churned.
This grand idea indeed sounded the most fitting.
“That’s right, in my opinion, that’s exactly it. These so-called stone statues were actually living beings before, but for some reason, they turned into stone statues.”
Moreover, judging from the appearance of these stone statues, their original bodies at the time had also tried to escape from this passage.
But they still turned into stone statues before they could escape to safety.
“It seems they must have encountered an extremely terrifying situation back then, which caused them all to turn into stone statues.”
Qin Xuan said with emotion.
“However, these stone statues must have been left behind many years ago. The terrifying thing from back then should have left by now.”
Qin Xuan added, in his opinion, that thing should have already departed.
“It’s hard to say, but we’ve already gone this deep, and that thing still hasn’t come out to turn us into stone statues, so it should be fine.”
Han Ye said, and Qin Xuan also nodded slightly.
Normally, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, necessary precautions still needed to be taken.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan took a deep breath.
“We’ve come this far, there’s no turning back.”
What a joke. If he were scared back by these stone statues, Qin Xuan might as well find a piece of cotton and bash his head against it until he died.
With that thought, Qin Xuan continued forward.
The further he went inside, the more statues there were.
Not only that, these stone statues looked incredibly ferocious, becoming less and less like beasts.
“After looking around, there isn’t a single Human Race statue. It seems either the Human Race didn’t enter here back then, or the Human Race wasn’t turned into stone statues.”
After walking for half a day, passing through several intersections, and bypassing several forks, Qin Xuan finally arrived at the end of the passage at noon.
“According to the map, this should be the place.”
Qin Xuan glanced at the human skin map; the final passage should be ahead here.
However, there was only a rock wall here, nothing else.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan picked up the Wu Feng Sword in his hand and cut through the rock wall, revealing the stone door inside.
“Behind this door is the last passage, and at its very end is the Legacy of the Dual-Pupil user!”
Han Ye said somewhat excitedly, and Qin Xuan also nodded, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
Leaving aside everything else, if he could obtain the Legacy of the Dual-Pupil user, that would be the best outcome for him.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan took a deep breath, intending to try and pry open the large door with the Wu Feng Sword, but he quickly realized that his actions were completely unnecessary.
“Creak!”
With a strong push forward, the stone door was opened by him.
“This door has always been open.”
Qin Xuan frowned and walked straight in.
“Whoosh!”
The moment Qin Xuan walked in, a black claw reached out from the side and grabbed towards his heart.
“Seeking death!”
Qin Xuan roared, and the Thunder Mirror instantly blocked his chest.
“Crack!”
Countless electric lights burst out from the Thunder Mirror. A moment later, all the electric lights on the Thunder Mirror condensed into an electric Dragon, completely enveloping the attacking thing in lightning.
“Caw!”
The monster that attacked Qin Xuan shrieked and immediately turned to leave.
But Qin Xuan wouldn't give him that chance!
The moment the monster turned to flee, the Thunder Dragon formed by lightning instantly bound the monster and dragged it back.
“It’s this thing!”
Qin Xuan looked sharply at the monster before him.
This thing was none other than the Corpse Puppet that Qin Xuan had fought once before in the Burial Spirit Land!
Looking at this thing, Qin Xuan couldn't help but frown.
“What exactly is going on with this thing? How did it suddenly get here?”
Shouldn’t the Corpse Puppets be active on the surface of the Burial Spirit Land? But how did it appear underground now?
Qin Xuan became even more perplexed.
“Caw!”
The Corpse Puppet struggled desperately, trying to pounce on Qin Xuan.
But the surrounding lightning held it firmly in place; the more it struggled, the tighter the surrounding Thunder Dragon bound it!
“Perhaps, the Corpse Puppets active in the Burial Spirit Land were originally prepared for this place. Once their strength becomes greater, they will enter here and guard this place… Be careful!”
Han Ye suddenly reminded Qin Xuan, but even without his reminder, Qin Xuan had already noticed something rushing over from the side.
