Chapter 172: Stone Statue
Due to the desire to survive and the fear of death, Ye Chen and Yun Feixue ran desperately towards the front, completely tireless, and they didn't know how much faster they were running than usual.
And those black shadows seemed to be affected by Ye Chen's running speed, losing the accuracy just now, and every obsidian arrow they shot was deviated, basically shooting not far behind Ye Chen.
In this way, I don't know how long they ran, Ye Chen and Yun Feixue ran out of the tomb by mistake and came to a lush jungle.
By this time, the sun was about to set, and the sky was getting darker, but fortunately, the shadows did not seem to catch up.
But even so, Ye Chen and Yun Feixue still didn't dare to relax, and they didn't take it lightly just because they left the tomb. On the contrary, they still dragged their tired bodies forward.
I don't know how far I ran, but by this time it was completely dark, and the faint moonlight was shining through the gaps between the branches.
At this time, Ye Chen and Yun Feixue couldn't run at all, and they couldn't help squatting on the ground and panting for breath.
And when they stopped, Ye Chen and the others suddenly felt sore, and their whole bodies were cut by branches.
After resting for a while, Ye Chen also learned Ah Tian's tone and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, I really can't run, if they can still catch up, then kill me directly, it's too torturous now." ”
But who knew that as soon as Ye Chen's words fell, a little wolf's howl suddenly came from not far away, and Ye Chen's whole person was suddenly startled to get up, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
This is simply just out of the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den!
Ye Chen hurriedly said to the sky: "God, I just made a little joke, you don't hear it, don't mess with me! I don't want to die so early, and there are still many things waiting for me to do!"
To be honest, Ye Chen would rather be killed by that group of black shadows than be bitten to death by this group of beasts, because at least the former could still leave a whole corpse.
Many people may have questions about why Ye Chen, a sixth-level magician, should worry about encountering a low-level magical beast like a little wolf. In fact, what Ye Chen was worried about was not the little wolf, but the little wolf that was immune to magic attacks.
Just kidding, once the little wolf is immune to magic attacks, then Ye Chen still has the slightest advantage when facing the little wolf.
Ye Chen suddenly became worried.
But at this moment, through the faint moonlight, Ye Chen suddenly found that there seemed to be an altar more than a dozen paces away on his left.
Ye Chen dragged his tired body and walked slowly, and at this time, the road under his feet had turned into a stone staircase composed of boulders, and the stone steps were overgrown with weeds.
Ye Chen quickly walked to the altar.
I saw a stone platform in the shape of a coffin on the altar, which looked to have been abandoned for a long time, and there seemed to be a deep slope behind the stone platform.
This position is the highest point of this area, the view is excellent, Ye Chen looked around, but unfortunately the light was too dim, and he couldn't see it clearly.
After that, Ye Chen casually glanced at the edge of the altar, and suddenly he was stunned.
I saw that in the bushes at the foot of the altar, there seemed to be a person squatting there!
Ye Chen was suddenly a little scared, because he had seen too many strange things in the tomb before, and this kind of deep mountain and old forest was often a high incidence of ghost legends, and it would not be surprising if there was really something weird.
So Ye Chen opened his eyes wide and wanted to see clearly, but it was too dark for him to see clearly.
Moreover, Ye Chen's spiritual power also seemed to be blocked, once his spiritual power left his body, it would be quickly swallowed up by the surrounding air, so Ye Chen could only vaguely see a figure there, but he didn't know what the hell it was.
There was no way, Ye Chen could only roar as if he was bold: "Who is there?"
The jungle at night was very quiet, and Ye Chen's voice was very abrupt.
But when he roared, the person didn't move, but scared Yun Feixue, who was resting in place.
Yun Feixue walked to Ye Chen's side in three steps and two steps, her face full of panic.
Seeing that the man didn't respond, Ye Chen's anger also came up, who was pretending to be a ghost in this ghost place at night to scare!
So Ye Chen immediately planned to hit a dark sacrifice towards the place where the figure was, but who knew that Ye Chen just wanted to mobilize his mana, but found that the mana in his body seemed to be frozen!
Ye Chen couldn't mobilize the slightest bit of mana at all!
Moreover, Ye Chen also found that he couldn't enter his sea of consciousness at all, and at the same time, he couldn't open the storage ring, let alone take out the mount cage and pet cage stored in the storage ring.
"It's not good!Yun Feixue, I can't use magic anymore, what about you?, can you use it?" Ye Chen said in surprise.
As soon as she heard Ye Chen's words, Yun Feixue immediately tried, but to her disappointment, she, like Ye Chen, couldn't mobilize the slightest magic power in the sea of knowledge.
Yun Feixue suddenly became panicked: "It's not good, I can't use magic anymore, and I can't open the storage ring yet." Chen Ye, what else can we do? There is no magic, no pet mounts, in case we are in danger, how should we deal with it?"
Yun Feixue's words hit the nail on the head, a magician can't use magic, it's a catastrophe!
It seems that although Ye Chen and Yun Feixue did walk out of the tomb and came outside, they still didn't seem to have left this strange place.
Ye Chen exhaled a long breath, and he tried his best to keep himself calm. Because it is useless to be anxious at such times, the first priority is to think of the problem at hand.
Ye Chen thought to himself, since the magic could not be used, he could only use the most primitive method.
So he bent down and picked up a stone and threw it at the figure's position, and the stone hit the figure impartially, but the figure still did not respond.
What's the situation?
Ye Chen frowned suddenly, he picked up a thick branch casually, and then walked over boldly, wanting to see what was going on.
But when Ye Chen walked up to the figure, he realized that the "figure" he had just seen was actually just a stone statue with only half of his upper body left!
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he really almost scared himself to death just now.
However, there is one thing to say, Ye Chen is indeed a bit of a cup bow snake shadow now, after all, in this environment, no matter who it is, it is inevitable that they will feel nervous.
Ye Chen took a closer look at the stone statue, which looked like it should have been on the altar, but it might have accidentally fallen into the bushes for some reason.
Ye Chen looked around, trying to find out where the lower half of the stone statue's body was. Sure enough, just a few steps away, Ye Chen found its lower body, but the lower half of its body was not two legs, but like the body of a snake!
Human-headed snake body?
Ye Chen immediately thought of Nuwa, could it be that this ghost place has something to do with Nuwa? But Nuwa is a character from the mythology of the earth, where did Nuwa come from on the Beya Continent?
Could it be that this stone statue was built by some human who crossed over from the earth?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, because many of the tombs he was in before were designed to be the same as the ancient tombs on earth.
Could it be that this entire tomb is the work of the earthlings?
But who is buried in this ancient tomb?
I have to say that there have been too many things happening in the past few days, so I sat down and rested against the stone platform.
Ye Chen was very curious, what was the identity of those black shadows he encountered just now, with the strength of those black shadows, they could obviously encircle and annihilate Ye Chen and Yun Feixue, but they seemed to deliberately leave an opening for Ye Chen and the two to break through.
And now that he calms down and thinks about it, Ye Chen's escape is also a big problem, he doesn't believe that the archery skills of those black shadows will be so bad that they can't shoot an arrow and Ye Chen and the others who have been running in a straight line.
But why did the shadows deliberately let him go?
Could it be that those black shadows deliberately drove him and Yun Feixue here?
But what is the purpose of those dark shadows?
Also, what kind of fame are the bandits including Scar Man doing here in the ancient tomb, and what kind of force are these bandits composed of sixth-level magicians coming from?
And where are Xiao Tianci and Ah Tian now?
Ye Chen thought about it for a long, long time, but in the end he was still puzzled. There was no way, he could only shake his head and stop thinking about these questions. And he also plans to sleep well to recuperate, after all, what has happened in the past few days has really made him a little physically and mentally exhausted.
So Ye Chen greeted Yun Feixue, and then leaned on the stone steps to prepare to rest, and Yun Feixue also chose a place close to Ye Chen to rest after seeing this.
But when Ye Chen slept until midnight, he was suddenly woken up by the sound of the surroundings.
Ye Chen opened his eyes in a daze, but the scene in front of him suddenly shocked him to sleep!
I saw dozens of wolf cubs in front of Ye Chen, their eyes glowing green like ghost fire, which were particularly conspicuous in this dark night. They looked at Ye Chen like this, with saliva still hanging on the corners of their mouths.
At this time, Ye Chen didn't mention how panicked he was, because now he couldn't use magic at all, it was no exaggeration to say that for these little wolves, Ye Chen at this moment was as easy to get as fat as the fat in his mouth.
Ye Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, this thief really planned to kill him.
Just as Ye Chen was quietly waiting for death to come, he suddenly discovered an abnormality, the group of little wolves just stood quietly in place drooling, and didn't seem to plan to do anything.
Ye Chen suddenly wondered, why didn't these little wolves immediately pounce on him and eat him? Could it be that they were resting when they were full? Or because Ye Chen was too thin, they didn't know how to divide the spoils?
Ye Chen felt very strange, he always felt that these little wolves seemed to have some scruples, but they were just pacing there and didn't dare to approach him.
Is there something in this altar that scares the little wolf?
Ye Chen couldn't help but look back, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it. I saw a huge blue-brown python coiled on the stone platform, the giant python was about three zhang long, and it must not be a problem to swallow Ye Chen in one bite.
From time to time, the giant python stared at a pair of big green eyes and spit snake letters, as if it was confronting the wolves.
Damn! Where did the giant python come from in the Beya Continent!
Ye Chen thought to himself, it seems that God is really not too lively, this is simply going to play him to death.
Ye Chen couldn't explain this unbelievable picture at all, he was completely frightened at this time, and he only knew how to step back.
