Chapter 18: Statue of the Mountain God

"Donor, if you go down the mountain at night, don't take the path!"

The sky gradually darkened, Zhou Yicai walked less than a third of the way, and as for the inexplicable reminder he met the monk on the road just now, he didn't pay much attention to it, probably because he was afraid that he would not be able to see the road and fall down.

There are also street lights on the main road, but there are no street lights on the small road, and it is pitch black, so you can only walk with the help of meager moonlight.

But fortunately, Zhou Yi's eyesight has long been much stronger than ordinary people, not to mention his night vision, and there is no problem walking among the dark mountain roads.

The trail is so quiet at this time that ordinary pedestrians simply don't walk on it at night.

Not to mention tourists, who either sleep in a hotel on the mountain, or pinch the time early and descend the mountain early.

People like Zhou Yi, who only started to descend the mountain at dusk and walked slowly on the path without street lights, I am afraid that they will never find the second one.

Zhou Yi walked alone on the quiet and dark mountain path, and from time to time there were calls of unknown animals in the distance, and from time to time there was a cool breeze blowing on his face.

He didn't feel terrible, but felt comfortable physically and mentally, enjoyed the rare silence and comfort, and walked down the mountain without hurrying or slow.

There is a small mountain temple halfway up the mountain, which is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a small house, and only a statue of the mountain god is enshrined in the temple, and travelers who are interested will worship it themselves.

It is worth mentioning that the trail that Zhou Yi took must pass by this mountain temple, and sure enough, soon Zhou Yi saw the small mountain temple from afar.

In front of the mountain temple, there are two candles lit by unknown people, like two ghost fires, swaying in the faint mountain wind.

I don't know if it's Zhou Yi's illusion, he seems to feel that the sounds of insects and birds around him are gradually decreasing, or even disappearing! The words he had overheard in the Melting Fire Hall a few hours ago rang in his ears again.

"Senior Brother Xuanxin, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Didn't Senior Brother Xuanguan go down the mountain last night? I heard that he walked the right path, and his body was found in front of the mountain temple halfway up the mountain in the early hours of this morning! ”

"Huh? He just went down the mountain at night, why did he still take the path, didn't the statue of the mountain god in that mountain temple always be rumored to be occupied by ghosts! ”

"Yes, none of the people who pass by there at night survive, and it is thanks to the popularity of the road during the day that the ghosts do not dare to come out and make trouble! I heard that the blood in the corpse of Senior Brother Xuanguan has been sucked dry, and the corpse is still kneeling in front of the mountain temple! ”

"Don't say it, I feel chills in the middle of the day, and I won't take that path in the future."

……

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, stopped, and a thought flashed in his heart: What if I really ran into some demons and monsters?

He is not afraid of physical monsters such as demons, but he doesn't know how to deal with ethereal creatures like ghosts, so can he use a sword to cut them?

But if there are really ghosts or something, he's ...... I'd love to see it!

A breeze blew in his face, with a chill that penetrated into his bone marrow, Zhou Yi twisted his neck, straightened the backpack on his back, looked at the mountain temple on the lower left, and slowly walked down.

As the body moved, the temple revealed its full face in the moonlight, and to be precise, the temple looked more like a cabinet less than a man high, but it was made of stone.

The two burning candles in front of the temple are like two ghost fires, with the help of this flickering candlelight, Zhou Yi can barely see the situation in the temple, a hideous-looking statue of the mountain god almost occupies the entire space in the temple!

Zhou Yi's eyes were staring at the mountain god statue the whole time, but the steps under his feet did not stop at all, until he walked through the mountain temple, except for the slightly weird atmosphere, there was no abnormality.

After walking past the mountain temple, he was a little silly to stare at it like this again, he turned his head, touched his nose, and exhaled in some joy or disappointment.

He couldn't help but turn his head again and look at the mountain temple, but he was horrified to find the hideous statue of the mountain god in the temple...... It's gone!

He was not allowed to think about it, and subconsciously, the silver-white emperor instantly appeared in his hand, blocking in front of him!

"Boom!"

A sound of metal collision came from the sword, and Zhou Yi fixed his eyes to see that it was the hideous mountain god statue in the mountain temple just now, and the mountain god statue used to attack Zhou Yi The weapon was actually its two huge fangs!

Seeing that the attack was fruitless, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the resurrected mountain god statue, and the two iron fists smashed like Zhou Yi wildly.

After the initial fright, Zhou Yi quickly eased up, and easily blocked the mountain god's raindrop-like fist.

"Agility is not lower than himself, but his strength is not high!"

After a short fight, Zhou Yi instantly came to a conclusion in his heart, and when he opened the distance, a full ten silver-white sword qi pierced the night sky, shooting towards the mountain god statue from different angles, almost sealing all the retreat of the mountain god statue.

The mountain god statue was more flexible than expected, and its body kept twisting and dodging, which could avoid the ten sword qi, but Zhou Yi's all-out sword that appeared in front of it in the next moment was unavoidable after all!

"Boom!"

Zhou Yi's sword slashed from the shoulder of the mountain god, and there was a sound similar to metal rubbing, as well as sparks generated by the violent friction between the dots of metal.

With his current full 85 points of strength, plus the 60 power of the God King and the 40 power of the King's power, it is almost equivalent to 185 points of power in one slash.

There was actually a more obvious sense of obstruction, but after all, it still cut the mountain god statue in half with a sword, but it can be inferred that its physique is more than 100, to say the least.

However, after the statue of the mountain god was cut in two, it was not completely dead, and the body with the head crawled towards Zhou Yi with a crazy expression, even if it was dead, he wanted to bite Zhou Yi a piece of flesh.

Zhou Yi completely smashed his head before he completely solved the mountain god statue, but what he didn't expect was that the mountain god statue actually turned into white light and disappeared after it completely died.

But there was still a small point of light in the air that did not dissipate, and from within the point of light, a rich male voice actually appeared: "A mere waste climber, dare to kill my beloved pet, don't let me find you, otherwise I will definitely make you worse than death!"

Looking at the light spots that slowly dissipated after the sound came from the air, Zhou Yi touched his nose and laughed at himself: "It seems that there is another incredible enemy!"
