"Okay. Then we'll go the same way. Bury gave the order to everyone as captain: "But we need to change the formation. Tedain, you stay on the last watch. Mark, you and Daphne go to the front and keep Daphne safe. ”

"Understood. Mark replied with Terdain.

"Lane Magician," Burry said, turning to Ryan in a more polite tone, "it's up to you next, and I hope your magic will destroy those monsters." ”

"Okay," Ryan replied, "do your best!"

After a slight delay, the group began to move forward again. Mark followed Daphne with a massive hammer on his back, watching the movement around him vigilantly, while Dennis took Bury's place and walked behind them. Bury let Ryan and Allendo go ahead of him, and he and Terdane broke off.

Soon, the group came to the door of the stone room where the six arrows mercenary group had been defeated last time, Daphne's footsteps suddenly stopped, her body began to tremble, and she seemed to see the scene of her lover Angus killed in battle.

Mark was an impatient fellow, and he pulled Daphne away and strode in. The others also took a few steps, overtook Daphne, and walked into the stone chamber.

Burry sighed, and he gave Tedain a look and motioned for him to take care of Daphne, who nodded slightly, stayed, and accompanied Daphne to the door of the stone chamber.

Bury walked into the stone chamber, which was a very large stone chamber. The stone chamber was empty, with only four pillars that could be surrounded by three or four people, and next to each pillar was a statue about two people tall.

Ryan and the others, who came in first, did not go deep into the stone chamber, but stood at the door, looking at the statues vigilantly. Burry walked in and took a look at the place, it looked exactly the same as the last time they left, except that the blood stains left by Angus and Bob on the ground had turned bright red to crimson.

When Ryan saw Burry walk in, he pointed to a monster statue with a missing ruby on its eye and asked, "Are those statues?"

Burry nodded solemnly, and Ryan received an affirmative answer, so he carefully looked at the nearest stone statue, the one with a missing ruby in his eye. The statue is completely black, except for the rubies set in the eyes.

Although Ryan has learned a lot about how to make magic arrays and magic items, after all, the time is very short and his knowledge is insufficient, so he can't discern what kind of material the statue is made of. According to Burry, even a sharp sword and arrow can't hurt it, it must be a very hard stone.

The stone statue is a standing half-human, half-beast creature with a narrow body, slender limbs, and a pair of wings on its back, which looks like the wings of a bat. The monster has sharp claws and a thin, short tail that looks very ugly.

The four monster statues are of different shapes, some of them raise their two front paws in a fluttering position, some have long mouths as if they want to devour the creatures in front of them, some have folded their wings behind their backs and enveloped their upper bodies inside, and the last one has their wings fully spread as if they are flying.

Ryan observed for a while, from the time they walked into the stone chamber until now, the four monster statues did not move, if it were not for Bury's story that his companion Angus died under their claws, Ryan would never have thought that these rock carvings would move, these four monsters are clearly some kind of strange decoration.

"Is it a gargoyle?" Dennis, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Is there such a thing here?"

"Gargoyles?" Ryan heard Dennis muttering to himself, and he asked curiously, "What's that?"

Dennis explained: "I used to hear of this thing, a strange creature that was brought to life by an evil magic and had a hard skin. Generally speaking, gargoyles are used to guard certain important places. ”

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that similar to a stone statue?

Dennis said solemnly: "The stone statues made by magicians are mainly used to protect their mage towers, and most of those stone statues are just a powerful, somewhat autonomous magic item. However, the gargoyles in front of you are different, they are forced by evil mages to infuse the souls of humans or other creatures, so these gargoyles usually enter a dormant state until someone activates them. ”

Bury interjected, "I see, Bob must have removed the rubies that were gargoyle's eyes to activate these evil creatures. ”

"What are we going to do now?" asked Mark angrily, "Do you want me to smash the heads of those pesky guys?"

Dennis thought for a moment and said, "Magician Lane, please release a spell first and test it." See if you can do them any harm. ”

"Good. Ryan agreed, and immediately uttered a large array of incantations, and a ball of flame gathered in his hand, turning into a flaming fireball that whistled towards the gargoylee closest to him.

"Boom!" the flames dispersed, and the sound of fireballs exploding echoed through the huge stone chamber, making people's ears tingle.

The smoke cleared, and the hall returned to its original state, but it was slightly different from before, the gargoyles that was attacked by Ryan's fireball technique had a large number of cracks on its body, and a lot of residue also appeared under its feet, which was believed to be the masterpiece of Ryan's fireball technique.

"Flutter, flutter. The gargoyle that had been standing still slowly flapped its wings, and it "came to life", and the gargoyle's eyes glowed red, sweeping through the stone chamber.

When the red light swept over Ryan and the others, the gargoyle spotted the target of the attack, and it immediately floated in the air, flapping its wings and flying towards Ryan. However, it seems that Ryan's fireball spell has taken a considerable toll on it, and the gargoyle is not flying as fast as a normal human walking.

"Damn it!" Mark roared, "Come on, miscellaneous, let me smash your head!" Mark picked up the hammer in his hand and pounced on the gargoyle.

"Bang!" came a heavy thud, and Mark slammed his hammer down on the gargoyle's body. The gargoyle tried to dodge, but it was slow and was hit by Mark, losing an arm. The gargoyle grows its mouth and makes a chest-tight scream.
