Xia Ji looked directly at a stone sculpture on the periphery, it was a man who was running, his face was vivid, it was hard to imagine that there was a master in this world who could carve such a stone statue.

Think for a moment.

Xia Ji directly brought a black jade mask that could cause drought and peek into living beings.

The evil thoughts in this mask have been eaten by him, and the serrated teeth on his forehead seem to absorb his blood, and "confess the Lord", this is his exclusive item, and even if others get it, they cannot use it.

As soon as the mask was put on, the young man's original temperament suddenly changed.

Mysterious and unpredictable, indifferent and boundless.

But in Xia Ji's eyes, everything in the world is also divided into two kinds:

Living and dead.

Then, he saw red shadows hidden in the stone carvings.

Red represents living things, and black represents dead things.

"I thought it was petrified, but I didn't expect it to be a living person sealed in stone, so it formed a lifelike stone sculpture?"

Xia Ji reached out and stuck his hand on the nearest stone carving.

Palm capacity.

No response.

Boost strength.

Cracks began to appear in the stone carvings.

Stone chips are numerous, and rubble of different sizes "gurgles" down the contours of the human body.

The stone carvings are shattered.

Among them, the body of a man slowly appeared, apparently a traveler from the north, and fell to the ground.

The man was not dead, nor was he unconscious, his body was intact, and it seemed that he could always be nourished in the stone carving.

But... It's worse than death.

As soon as the man emerged from the stone carving, he went mad, and ran away with a frenzied scream, muttering muffled mutters as he ran.

And at this moment, the sound of "ding ding ding" in the distance became louder and louder.

Xia Ji followed the sound and left.

In the center of a circle of stone sculptures, black shadows were beating on something.

The light fades here, making people's hearts hairy.

Xia Ji didn't hide at all, and walked out directly.

The shadow felt him, and stopped beating.

The surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop, and soon became extremely low, and the biting cold penetrated from every pore of the skin, and then looked around, it was extremely blurry, as if the small stone forest was covered with a layer of water.

The black shadow made a voice that could not be recognized by the male and female: "Do you like my work?"

Xia Ji didn't seem to hear it, and the first time he used the drought mask, it was very novel, so he asked, "Are you alive?"

"Do you like my work?"

"Are you alive?"

"Do you like my work?"

"I ask you if you're alive?"

Two you say yours, I say mine... None of them answer each other's questions.

Suddenly, the stone forest became dark, and a terrifying and suffocating atmosphere was suppressed, making people's hearts blocked.

A standing teenager gathers a blurred shadow in the stone carving.

Everything is being swallowed up by darkness at a breakneck pace.

This is the real darkness that cuts off the vision, not only the absence of light in the optical sense.

At the moment when the light dissipated.

The shadow grinned, turned into a terrifying black light, and rushed directly towards the uninvited guest.

There was a terrible creeping sound in the darkness, the sound of bones cracking.

It's chilling.

I don't know what happened in this small stone forest.

A little after a while.

In the darkness, there was the sound of Natsu Ji laughing.

"Don't run!Where do you want to run!?"

No response.

The sound of crawling grew faster and faster, and the darkness was accompanied by the roar of the stone statue being knocked away.

Even though it's completely dark, even if you get here, you're going to be blind in the real sense.

But Xia Ji wore a drought mask, and the moment he put on the mask, there were only two kinds of existence left in his world: "living and dead"!

So, the little thing that's crawling is simply not too clear.

Moreover, with the bonus of "Night Amplification" in the Night Demon Mystery Classic, he is simply like a fish in water in this pure black and lightless world.

"Stop!!I love your work!!"

There was a roar in the darkness.

"Really, I like your work, stop it, let's have a conversation!"

The crawling thing ignored him and crawled frantically.

"Hey, I love your work! Can you tell me how you put people in stone statues, and keep them alive?"

Xia Ji obviously felt that this was a great medical achievement.

The crawling thing was terrified and crawling like crazy.

Fortunately, this stone forest is very large, and there are many stone statues.

And Xia Ji didn't want to destroy all these stone statues, because the stone statues were filled with living people, and he didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, so he started this kind of "hide and seek".

Suddenly...

All sounds in the stone forest were gone.

At this moment, the positions of all the stone statues in the stone forest changed, and the crawling thing just now was no longer crawling on the ground.

From the darkness came a muttering to himself: "Little thing, where did you go?"

The sound of pacing back and forth.

Now.

The dark shadow sealed itself in the stone statue, not daring to move.

On weekdays, it makes stone statues of other people.

Today it has made itself into a stone statue.

It's poignant.

It listened to the sound of empty footsteps in the darkness, and held its breath, not daring to move, as if death were circling outside the door.

"What about people? ”

In the darkness, the terrifying voice rang out again.

Soon the voice died down.

Seems to be observing something.

Before that, I was knocking on the stone sculpture and asking "Do you like my work", and the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger.

It guessed right.

Xia Ji is observing the shape of **.

Then exclude them one by one.

It didn't take long.

It felt like its stone statue was cracking.

The gap grew wider, revealing a face in a black jade mask.

"Found you. ”

The face poked in, and a gentle voice sounded.

The shadow was almost out of its body with fright, it broke free from the stone statue, and its body immediately disappeared in place.

It's its home turf.

In mid-air.

It had just appeared, and as soon as it turned its head, it saw the mask that frightened it again.

"Don't run this time. ”

Xia Ji directly grabbed it and fell down.

If a meteor lands.

The ground shook.

The darkness disappeared in the small stone forest.

Xia Ji looked at the deformed man dressed as a butcher lying in the deep pit under his feet.

All shadows on him have vanished.

His whole body was sewn with red thread, and he looked hideous, holding a hammer in his left hand and a stone nail in his right hand.

Xia Ji looked down at him and smiled: "I like your work. ”

Deformed butcher head side.

The eyes are red.

Crying.

His bones were shattered.

The sound of bones breaking in the darkness just now was the sound of his bones shattering.

"Let's talk about it, how to seal people with stone statues, whether they can let people live in it, or... Maintain youth?"

Seeing that he was silent.

Xia Ji said again: "Or... Tell me where the secret is, and take me there, okay?"

The deformed butcher opened his mouth and said, "Do you like my work?"

"Yes, you can answer my question. ”

The deformed butcher's eyes were red and fearful, and he repeated: "Do you like my work?"

Xia Ji's face turned gloomy.

Foot force.

The deformed butcher let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, but when it came to it, it was still the same sentence, and it looked like he had been wronged.

Xia Ji only then understood, daring to love this thing will only say this sentence.

And Xia Ji didn't mean to kill him.

This kind of monster is the "bottle stopper" of the dragon qi secret realm, kill it, there is a danger of leakage of dragon qi, and the dragon disaster will break out, which is the real life and suffering.

But the vitality of this monster is extremely strong.

After repeated "friendly communication", the deformed butcher finally figured out what Xia Ji meant.

It lowered its head and led Xia Ji to the depths of the stone forest.

This small stone forest occupies the aurora and is unpredictable, and it is impossible to enter the center without a guide.

In the depths, there is an extremely beautiful statue of a woman in white armor.

It's just that the white armor, no matter how you look at it, looks like scales.
