Chapter 126: Underwater Statue
It is more appropriate to say that this is a pattern, and more accurately, it should be a stone sculpture of a figure with his back connected to a rock.
However, only the front of the whole person is carved, and the back is still connected with the rock and is not separated.
The statue was a man about forty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but what attracted Murong Xiaotian the most was the eyes, although they were only carvings, but in those eyes, they revealed the momentum of being proud of the world! It made Murong Xiaotian feel an unbearable sense of oppression!
What if the man on the carving was still alive on this island?
Even in this already unbearable hot sea, Murong Xiaotian's heart still felt a chill, he could be sure that if the person on this statue still existed; Then, he must be much stronger than Long'er's father, the dragon god.
The two fingers of the statue's left hand are erected in front of the chest, as if it has pinched a sword trick, but the two fingers are not closed, and there is a gap between the two fingers; The right hand is clenched into a fist, resting horizontally on the waist, and it looks like this, nothing else special.
The thought just flashed through Murong Xiaotian's mind, and he began to get busy, except for this character statue, that is, there was no text description, and there were no other special icons to display; Most likely, this is a figure-operated mechanism, which is a carved head, hands, eyes, ears, nose, etc., all of which may be buttons to activate the mechanism.
Pulling, pressing, dragging, twisting, and wrenching, it was just a short period of more than ten seconds, although there was the resistance of the seawater, Murong Xiaotian still shot dozens of times in a row; Starting from the top of the statue's head and continuing to the soles of its feet, all the possibilities imaginable were used, but there was still no response.
"Bump!" Without thinking about it, Murong Xiaotian's thunder light fist struck again, hitting the statue directly.
There was no time left for him to think slowly, and the temperature of the water seemed to suddenly begin to increase, and the temperature outside could be imagined; Murong Xiaotian's breath was almost unbearable, if he floated to the surface of the water to breathe again, he didn't dare to think about the consequences; Every second counts so much to him right now.
The 'Thunder Light Fist' smashed on the statue impartially, and the calm sea water was pushed forward in all directions, quite imposing, but the statue connected to the rock was not damaged at all.
Murong Xiaotian's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden, he had thought of all the ways he should have thought of, and he had tried everything he should try, every part of this statue could not move, and it was impossible to open the key to the mechanism.
Then, maybe destroying this statue is the only way to lift this forbidden curse, but now it seems that even this only hope has been shattered, and the 'Thunder Light Fist' can't move it in the slightest.
"Damn, even if Lao Tzu becomes boiled meat, Lao Tzu will ruin you bastard!" Murong Xiaotian roared angrily in his heart, he had completely lost his mind, and his strongest attack, the 'Blood Wind Knife' of the 'Demon Power Guqin' and 'Five-Tone Lore', had struck.
To be honest, at this time, he was completely unable to control his emotions, the sea was hot to the point where he could kill people, and the taste of being boiled alive was not something that people could bear at all; His own health value has also begun to fall quickly, and it is estimated that the ghost warriors, Ling'er, and Long Laoji will not be any better at this time.
Murong Xiaotian knew very well that the time stipulated by the hourglass was about to come, but he didn't have the slightest clue, maybe this statue was just a trap to delay their time.
What if the clues do appear now? For Murong Xiaotian, there was no time left.
Murong Xiaotian knew that he was really powerless to return to heaven this time, and he lost completely, but the price of losing was too heavy, and he took the lives of Ling'er, the ghost warrior, and Long Lao Ji miserably.
Murong Xiaotian is unwilling, but what if he is unwilling? In the midst of grief and indignation, seeing the middle-aged man's eyes on the statue that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he was laughing at them, Murong Xiaotian vented all the sorrow and indignation in his heart on this statue.
With his most lethal attack method, eight blood-red wind knives, rolled towards the statue!
"Boom!" The eight wind knives all hit the statue, but there was no scene where Murong Xiaotian wanted to see the wind knife twisting the statue into pieces; On the contrary, the statue was undamaged, and the wind knife disappeared into oblivion.
This made Murong Xiaotian knot, his 'Blood Wind Knife' couldn't break this rock stone carving, so how did it carve it? The only explanation is that the statue has a powerful defensive barrier on it.
In an instant, Murong Xiaotian's heart was cold to the bottom, even the hot sea water could not make him feel the slightest warmth; Only for the sake of the spirit who can sacrifice everything; and a ghost warrior who likes to raise the bar, but lives and dies with himself; The hard-working, honest and honest Long Laoji and their figures flashed in their minds.
At this moment, all that could be seen was the infinite pain and sadness in Murong Xiaotian's eyes!
Suddenly, the statue's right hand, which was originally holding a fist against its waist, slowly stretched out, and on the palm of the hand, there was a ring that looked black.
This sudden change suddenly pulled Murong Xiaotian's heart, which had sunk into the Hell Hades Palace, back violently.
Fast as lightning, without any thought, Murong Xiaotian grabbed the ring on the stone carving's right palm and put it on the statue's erected left hand.
The ring, of course, is to be put on the finger, and Murong Xiaotian has noticed just now that the middle finger of the stone carver's left hand is also carved with traces of wearing the ring, and now it seems that this is a clue left intentionally.
In addition, the statue was erected in the posture of holding the sword technique in its left hand, and the two fingers were not closed, Murong Xiaotian felt a little awkward just now, it turned out that it was deliberately carved like this, the purpose was to be able to wear this ring.
In this way, everything will fall into place.
Actually, the key is still on this ring, if you can't get the ring, everything is empty; With this ring, the rest of the matter is much simpler, as long as it is not a pig, seeing the ring marks on the middle finger of the left hand erected in front of you, you should be able to guess that the ring is to be put on this middle finger.
As for why the statue's right hand suddenly opened to reveal this ring, Murong Xiaotian was also confused, but one thing he was sure of was that it was definitely related to the 'Blood Wind Knife' he came out, but how exactly the mechanism was activated, it was unknown.
However, Murong Xiaotian didn't have time to think about this, what he wanted was the result, the process was no longer important, the key was what kind of result this ring would produce when it was put on.
Murong Xiaotian's heart was extremely nervous, although being held underwater for a long time had already made him dizzy, and his chest was about to explode, but compared to the lives of Ling'er, Long Laoji and the ghost warriors, what was this?
This God suddenly gave a life-saving straw, which was equivalent to pulling Murong Xiaotian's heart back from the brink of death; Therefore, he must see the results.
The moment the ring was inserted into the middle finger of the statue, ten thousand golden rays of light bloomed out of the statue and spread directly out of the water; The whole desert island seemed to begin to tremble and shake incessantly; The sea water is even more chopping and the undercurrent is surging.
Except for the shining golden light, Murong Xiaotian couldn't see anything, he could only rely on his senses to float towards the water, and if he didn't float up, he would really have a pulmonary hemorrhage.
At this moment, his mood is unprecedented joy; Because he felt that in the moment of golden light, the health that he was about to drop had stopped falling, and the temperature of the sea water had returned to normal, so needless to say, the temperature outside must have returned to normal.
No matter how many dangers there are in the back, how strong the opponent will be faced, but at least now, this level is passed, and it can be regarded as pulling Ling'er, the ghost warrior and the earth turtle dragon back from the death line.
By the time Murong Xiaotian surfaced, everything had returned to calm, the radiant golden light had disappeared without a trace, and the desert island had stopped trembling; On the sea, it is also calm, as if nothing has been born, but at the same time, it is a little different.
First of all, the temperature in this desert island area has returned to the normal temperature when they first entered this 'special mission skill field'.
Secondly, and at the same time, the biggest change, that is, in the middle of the desert island, there is a huge palace, and the phenomenon of the mountain shaking just now is probably caused by this palace rising from the ground.
Ignoring the shock and surprise brought by the majestic palace in the middle of the desert island in the distance, Murong Xiaotian gasped for breath and quickly checked where he was now.
At this look, Murong Xiaotian appeared, it turned out that he was not far from Ling'er's location, Ling'er and they were on the shore sixty or seventy meters to his left, looking like that, they had just come ashore from the water.
"Damn, if I knew to start searching from the right, I wouldn't have wasted so much time and was almost boiled alive!" Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little like crying.
If he searched along his right hand, he would be able to find this statue within sixty or seventy meters, but he searched along his left hand; It's okay now, around this desert island, almost in a circle, do you think he can not feel wronged?
Seeing that Ling'er and they were all fine, Murong Xiaotian was a fierce man, and plunged into the water again, he hadn't forgotten the ring, he was sure that it was definitely a treasure.
With a treasure in front of him, how could Murong Xiaotian miss it?
Sneaking to the location where the statue was, Murong Xiaotian was dumbfounded, not to mention the ring, even the entire statue disappeared without a trace.
This made Murong Xiaotian really a little incomprehensible, this statue was obviously connected to the underwater rock, more precisely, it was carved directly on the underwater rock, how could it disappear?
It's incredible, but there's so much in Destiny itself!
