Chapter 113

For a moment, the breathing of the five people became a little rapid.

Lan Chudie said, “First, let’s see if there is any danger around！”

She was still quite calm and knew that this place was not an ordinary place. With such a large pile of wealth placed here, perhaps it was a trap.

The five people quickly scattered and searched the vicinity. After a while, they gathered together again and found nothing.

Lan Chudie was still not at ease. She vigilantly pushed out a few palms, and the palm wind hit the pile of Yang Flame Stones and Yin Yuan Stones, but there was no abnormality. Then she nodded and said, “There is no danger.”

The five people looked at each other and quickly stepped forward, scooping up the pile of Yang Flame Stones and Yin Yuan Stones in large handfuls.

The others picked up both kinds, but Yang Kai was different. He only picked up the Yang Flame Stones and collected them.

While picking, Lan Chudie suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, then straightened up, looked at the stones in her hand with some reluctance, and then sighed and threw them down.

“What’s wrong, Senior Sister Lan？” Nie Yong asked with some confusion, looking up.

“Stop picking.” Lan Chudie said lightly, “If we carry a large bag of stones on the road, not only will it consume our own strength, but if we encounter danger, it may even become a burden and we will have to throw them away in the end.”

Hearing this, the other few people then reacted. Just now, upon seeing so much wealth at first glance, they were a bit overly excited and actually forgot about this aspect.

Lan Chudie glanced at everyone and continued, “Moreover, we just arrived here and discovered this pile of stones. If my estimation is correct, such things are the lowest in value here！ In other words, these are just small profits, and the real treasures are still waiting for us later.”

“Senior Sister Lan is right.” Nie Yong agreed, and Zuo An also nodded slightly.

Du Yishuang looked at the stone in her hand and reluctantly threw it down with a hint of on her face.

Only Yang Kai was still picking up stones with his head down, as if he didn’t hear Lan Chudie’s words. This made the latter couldn’t help but frown.

“Hehe, it’s not too late to throw them away when we really encounter danger.” Yang Kai explained while picking up stones.

“As you wish.” Lan Chudie didn’t stop him either and said lightly, “But we won’t waste time because of you. Catch up when you’ve picked enough. Don’t be too greedy.”

“En, you guys go first！” Yang Kai nodded.

Lan Chudie didn’t delay any longer and walked forward after this pile of stones. Zuo An looked at Yang Kai with even more despised in his eyes, and Nie Yong was even more direct. He spat and said, “A poor wretch who has never seen the world! Sooner or later, you will still throw them away, wasting time and energy.”

“I’ll wait for you.” Du Yishuang was kind enough to stay.

“No need, you go first！” Yang Kai said as he took off his shirt, looking as if he was going to pick up a lot.

Seeing his insistence, Du Yishuang didn’t force it and nodded, then caught up with the steps of the others.

After there was no one around, Yang Kai wasn’t so reserved anymore. The True Yang Art was running crazy quickly absorbing the energy in the Yang Flame Stones while loading them into the package made of his shirt.

In a short while, there were twenty more drops of Yang Liquid in the dantian, and the package was also filled to the brim.

That’s about it. Although there are still a lot of Yang Flame Stones here, Yang Kai doesn’t have to collect all of them. One can’t be too greedy. Lan Chudie was not wrong in saying that this pile of stones is probably the least valuable thing here. Naturally, one can’t waste too much time because of them.

After an incense stick of time, Yang Kai finally caught up with the four people. During this time, Yang Kai absorbed the energy of a few more Yang Flame Stones.

After converging with them, except for Du Yishuang, the expressions of the other three people looking at Yang Kai were a little unfriendly.

In terms of strength, Yang Kai is the lowest among this group of people, not even reaching the Qi Movement Realm. He is obviously a burden, so it’s no wonder that others look down on him. If it weren’t for the identity of being a fellow disciple here, Lan Chudie and Nie Yong probably wouldn’t have brought Yang Kai with them.

“it seems to be very large. We haven’t even walked out of it yet.” Lan Chudie’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Let’s investigate further. If we still can’t get out, we’ll find a place to rest.”

“Okay！” Everyone had been following Lan Chudie’s command along the way, and naturally wouldn’t object at this moment.

“An hour has passed. Now, who will lead the way in front？” Lan Chudie’s beautiful eyes swept over the four people.

What kind of danger there is here is still unknown, but no matter what the danger is, the one walking in the front undoubtedly has the worst situation. So she proposed at the beginning that one person would change to lead the way every hour.

Nie Yong said, “There are disciples from three sects here. One person from the Lingxiao Pavilion has already gone. Next, let the Blood Battle Gang or the Wind and Rain Tower lead the way.”

As he spoke, he took a look at Zuo An and Du Yishuang.

Zuo An’s brows furrowed. Before he could speak, Du Yishuang jumped out and said softly, “I’ll do it.”

Yang Kai sighed slightly. Although the five of them in his group had temporarily formed a small team, among the five people, perhaps only the kind-hearted Du Yishuang had no ulterior motives. The other four people, including Yang Kai himself, each had their own plans.

This team is not united！ If they really encounter too great a danger, I’m afraid it will fall apart immediately.

After walking for about half an hour, a large open space suddenly appeared in front. Since they entered, the few people had been surrounded by numerous stone pillars. Now that they finally saw a somewhat different place, they were naturally very excited.

Under the leadership of Du Yishuang, the five people quickly approached there.

Soon, they came to the location of this open space. This was still a place in the Rocky hill but for some reason it was a bit different from other places. Moreover, on this open space, there were actually many lifelike stone carvings standing, all of which were human-shaped stone carvings.

These stone carvings were approximately the height of real people. Some were bare-handed, and some were holding weapons. Those weapons were also of various kinds and extremely strange.

Roughly counting, there were no fewer than a hundred of these stone carvings, each with a different shape.

The five people didn’t dare to rush in rashly. Lan Chudie and Nie Yong both took action to test it together and found that there was no danger there. Only then did Du Yishuang lead them into the stone carving group.

For no reason, a sense of unease rose in Yang Kai’s heart. This feeling came very abruptly, but it was so real that Yang Kai’s heart rate couldn’t help but accelerate a little.

Turning his head to look at the other people, their expressions were all normal. Everyone was amazed by the lifelikeness of these stone carvings.

Looking around, Yang Kai suddenly saw behind a stone carving. There was an area of dark red color.

A faint smell of blood was floating in the air. Beside the dark red color, there was also a piece of torn cloth, which should be from a person’s clothes.

“Danger！” Without time to explain in detail, Yang Kai immediately shouted loudly.

At the same time, the hundreds of stone sculptures around actually creaked and moved.

The souls of the other four people all trembled. Lan Chudie, Nie Yong, and that Zuo An reacted even more quickly and turned back without looking back. Instead, Du Yishuang, who was leading the way in front, was stunned for a moment.

This moment of stunnedness suddenly made her miss a great opportunity to retreat.

The two stone sculptures beside her actually raised their fists and fiercely smashed down towards her.

The attack power of these stone sculptures was great and heavy. The fists were as big as a casserole. If she really took a punch, it would definitely not be comfortable.

Du Yishuang sensed something was wrong, and a burst of vitality suddenly surged in her body. The originally quiet and kind little girl actually gave birth to a crazy aura at this moment.

This was the sign of the pneumatic Jing (Qi-moving Realm)! At this realm, the vitality in the body was extremely unstable. It couldn’t be seen in normal times. But once in a battle, the vitality would surge, especially when angry. The surging vitality could easily affect a person’s state of mind. If not controlled well, one would only lose oneself in this crazy power.

However, although Du Yishuang’s vitality surged, her eyes were calm, obviously able to control her power very well.

You Di turned around, her small palm suddenly slapped towards a stone statue on the left, and at the same time, her figure retreated rapidly, trying to avoid the attack of the other stone statue.

But after all, she still missed the best opportunity. The attack of the second stone statue was extremely fast, and it was about to land on her slender shoulder.

Just as she was looking terrified, several fiery red Yang Yan Stones flew over like meteors from the sky, carrying a huge force and smashing on the fist of the second stone statue.

Peng Peng a few times. Although it failed to stop the attack of the second stone statue, it finally made its fist deviate a little, hitting the empty space by rubbing against Du Yishuang’s clothes, resolving the crisis of her being seriously injured.

“Go！” Yang Kai’s voice came from behind. Immediately, Du Yishuang felt her body lighten, as if her collar was caught by someone and pulled back.

At the same time, a palm stretched out from behind and faced the attack of the first stone statue together with her.

With a dull sound, Yang Kai and Du Yishuang flew out, fell to the ground, and ran away without looking back.

Behind them, there was a rumbling sound like thousands of troops and horses galloping. The five-person team that was escaping turned their heads in a hurry and couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. The more than a hundred stone statues actually chased after them together, each one was as fast as the wind. The heavy stone statues stepped on the ground, and the earth trembled slightly.

“Don’t look back, quickly run around the stone pillars！” Lan Chudie shouted coquettishly.

The few people understood tacitly and immediately shuttled among the stone pillars in the rock field like butterflies.

In a short while, most of the stone sculptures were shaken off, and after a while, many more stone sculptures were thrown out of sight.

Only the two that had attacked Du Yishuang earlier were still biting tightly behind Yang Kai and Du Yishuang like leeches, showing no sign of stopping at all.

“Yang Kai, you bastard, don’t lead them towards me！” Nie Yong, who was running in the front, roared while running.

Yang Kai’s face sank and he ignored him.

Lan Chudie, however, lightly leaped onto a stone pillar, turned around and looked back. Seeing that there were really no stone sculptures chasing after her, she stared at the two stone sculptures behind Yang Kai and Du Yishuang, her beautiful eyes flickering, and her expression was a bit hesitant.

But in just a moment, she made up her mind and shouted to the few people below： “Don’t run anymore, there are only these two, let’s smash them！”

A group of people were running around in circles in one place. Hearing what Lan Chudie said, their hearts all trembled.

“Just now, Yang Kai and Little Sister Du were able to withstand their attacks, which shows that their strength is not very high！” Lan Chudie’s tone carried a hint of confidence, her posture was proud, and she commanded： “Zuo An, you hold one of them back, and then the other four of us will attack the other one！”

Zuo An’s brows furrowed, but he didn’t say much. He quickly turned around, and with a roar, the Yuan Qi surged on his huge fist, and he smashed it towards one of the stone sculptures.

This stone sculpture was chasing after Yang Kai and Du Yishuang vigorously. Caught off guard, it was hit by Zuo An’s fist, and stone chips flew everywhere, and its body staggered.
