Chapter 45: The Wind Whispers
"Did anyone see what it was?" Duzi's gaze swept around, trying to find the shadows through the trails caught out of the corner of his eye. But the mansion was already covered in weeds, and it was almost impossible to find out if a small creature got in.
"No, they disappeared so quickly that even Haka didn't notice them."
The four of them didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and stood back to back, constantly observing the situation around them.
Suddenly the wind picked up in the silent courtyard.
The flow of the air was strange, and it seemed to be constantly changing direction, and even the surrounding leaves and grass were swaying wildly in the wind, making a strange rustling sound.
"Brother Duqi, I can't have heard it wrong!" Hanekawa's face became a little flustered, "How come those plants swaying seem to be talking?" You listen...... Get out of here...... Get out of here...... They seem to be really talking. Over here...... There can't really be ghosts, right? ”
"You kid......" Du Qi almost laughed, "I've seen monsters, I've seen skeletons, and I've never seen when you've been afraid, why are you suddenly afraid of ghosts?" "Probably, in the eyes of players, everything in this world can be described in three words: monsters, props, and skills. In Du Qi's view, such a situation is nothing more than a side plot triggered by chance, what can there be to be afraid of?
"Who is pretending to be a ghost here?" Kui Qu let out a loud shout.
Obviously, the willingness of Du Qi and the others not to leave easily accurately conveyed the past. Immediately afterward, the ground began to shake slightly, and a brownish-yellow power gathered in the air, and then the soil on the ground seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and then floated. The tremors became more violent, and the stone pavement, which had long been covered with weeds, cracked and shattered, and countless large and small stones rose into the air, quickly gluing together with the help of the brown-yellow energy.
A huge stone statue six meters high appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The stone statue took a step, its mouth opening to reveal the large and small holes inside. The wind blew again, making a clearer sound.
"Stand ...... Namely...... Leave...... Open ......"
"What the hell is this?" Du Qi and Kui Qu glanced at each other, and the system did not identify the name of the colossus in front of them, so it was certain that it should not be a monster. "Be careful, there may be someone behind it...... Friend, this is no longer a private place, we are just here to check on something, and there is no malicious intent. After reminding his partner, he began to try to negotiate with him.
The stone statue pulled out a tall, straight iron palmetto tree by the side of the road, and raised its hands to brush off the branches and leaves on it with the rough rock, and waved it to roll up a gust of wind, and the soil at the roots flew everywhere.
"Is there nothing to talk about? Kui Qu, you go first, Feng Xing swept the formation for him, and Hanekawa let Haka fly. Du Qi took a few steps back and said hello at the same time.
Kui Qu did not hesitate when he heard this, and rushed forward first with great strides, strength and endurance were things he was proud of, even in the face of the behemoth in front of him, he did not feel fear.
Kui Qu's speed was much faster than that of the stone statue, but the difference in size between the two sides was too great, and the long stick made of palm trees could easily cover an area with a radius of six or seven meters, and it was just a simple and brutal sweep, forcing Kui Qu to raise his big sword to resist.
A trail appeared on the messy ground, and Kui Qu's face flushed, and he took several steps back before he could dissipate the strength of the stone statue. The stone statue took a step forward without hurry, and pressed its huge left hand down towards Kui Qu from top to bottom. Feng Xing, who was on guard not far away, appeared on Kui Qu's side in an instant, half-squatting and raising his weapon to block the blow. Kui Qu also took this opportunity to pull out the big sword that was cut into the wooden stick and calmly retreated.
Swallow, Du Qi saw it once in the catacombs, it is one of Feng Xing's awakening skills, the effect is similar to teleportation, although there is a certain limit in distance, but it is very practical.
"Everyone, be careful!" Hanekawa beckoned from behind, and Haka, who was flying in the air, spat out several pale cyan air masses, which seemed to be composed of countless blade-like air currents, twisting and cutting wildly in the wooden sticks, cutting the notoriously hard iron palmetto tree into tatters. Immediately afterward, Hanekawa's outstretched bow fired another arrow with a dark red crystal wrapped in the top, and after hitting the stick, it triggered a series of loud explosions, blowing the stone statue's weapon to pieces.
This is a weapon that Duqi has given to Hanekawa in keeping his promise, the longbow itself is derived from the set of cyan phantoms, and the arrow is made from the materials of the hoof flower, which can cause a violent explosion of light when it hits the target.
"Everyone back off!" Du Qi, who was standing at the back of the line to draw runes, finally finished his work, and three kinds of more than a dozen mysterious runes were entangled with each other, forming two small elves with a light blue light, one left and one right, flashing their small transparent wings and crashing into the knee joints of the stone statue.
In an instant, countless hailstones scattered like exploding grenades, and the temperature of the air dropped sharply in that instant.
"Divine Language-Hail: The Blue Charm of the Ice Jade Butterfly Dance". This is a new divine language that Du Qi borrowed from Yuanya's Divine Language, as well as Xiaofu's Divine Language, and researched it on his own. Although he is not skilled at the moment, and can only condense two elves, it seems to be enough for now.
Sure enough, the clumsy stone statue saw the target retreating, and also took steps to chase the two villains, but the extremely cold aura that suddenly exploded froze its knee joints stiff, and its bent knees could not be straightened for a while, and it lost its balance and fell face down, causing the ground to shake violently.
Faced with such an excellent opportunity, Feng Xing took two steps forward, knelt on one knee and pressed his palm against the ground. "Heart of the Earth", an awakening skill that can also manipulate the soil, is activated, and the soft soil around it churns again, turning into two earth dragons, one left and one right, wrapping around the hands of the Colossus, and then quickly solidifying and binding it to the ground.
The Colossus struggled for a moment, and the brown-yellow energy floating on its surface suddenly vanished, and it scattered into countless debris.
The battle wasn't over, the energy was once again converging in the air, more rubble floating, and a new colossus was formed.
"Hah...... That's what I've been waiting for! A faint smile appeared on the corner of Duqi's mouth, he had already hidden the jailer's soul in Haka's feathers in advance, and in the moment just now, with the help of the jailer's soul's vision, he found the person who was manipulating the stone statue behind his back from the air. It was in a building not far from them. "You deal with the stone statues, I'll go find the caster." He spun his steps and rushed towards a small building in front of him.
Dozi was fast, crossing a fountain full of vines and crossing a long corridor, and the rusted iron door was in front of him. At this moment, the bottom of the square building that looked like the fourth ancestral hall behind him suddenly cracked, as if a mouth was wide open......"
"Duqi...... Be careful......" The panicked voices of the companions came from behind him.
Duqi's eyes darkened, and his big mouth quickly closed and swallowed him.
