Chapter 40: Witchcraft Puppet, Yellow Spring Road

"The one we encountered last time was also a statue, and then it came back to life!" shouted the fat man.

Shirley Yang's face changed immediately when she heard that, and she moved away from the statue.

Zhang Qiling asked, "Master Xu, this is just a statue. Are you making a fuss?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "Captain Zhang, you don't know, we encountered a statue exactly like it in Kunlun Glacier last time. At that time, I observed it closely, and the outer shell of the statue fell off. Inside the statue was a very powerful snake demon. The three of us fought with it for almost half an hour.

"If there wasn't an underground river nearby with piranhas in it, and we had used a trick to knock the snake demon into the river, we might all have died there."

Zhang Qiling was shocked when he heard this.

"The statue became alive?"

He found it a little unbelievable. If Xu Feng and the other two, as well as Shirley Yang, had not all had the same expression and reaction, he would have almost thought that Xu Feng was joking.

Xu Feng noticed that his expression was different.

"Captain Zhang, you just said you are an expert in tomb digging. Have you never encountered a similar situation?!"

Zhang Qiling shook his head: "I have indeed been to many tombs. I have seen some monsters guarding tombs and various kinds of zongzi. But I have never seen the statues resurrected as you said."

"Of course!"

He added: "Maybe it's because I'm not well-informed, because the tombs I've visited are all ordinary tombs, and I've never been to a very dangerous thousand-year-old tomb.

"Will this snake demon also be resurrected?"

Xu Feng looked at the four hands of the snake demon statue.

The four weapons shown last time all have different attributes.

Although this snake demon held similar equipment in its four hands, they had no attributes.

"uncertain!"

"But I suggest you don't touch it and stay away from it."

Xu Feng said.

Zhang Qiling nodded immediately and then gave the order.

Xu Feng looked at the rest of the tomb's environment.

Opposite the snake demon statue is a corridor.

It should be the entrance to the tomb.

Then there are two roads on both sides of the snake demon statue.

Besides.

There was nothing else unusual in this tomb.

"This is indeed the front room."

"That corner passage should be the entrance to the tomb."

“As for the roads on the left and right, they should lead to the next tomb chamber.”

Xu Feng gave his own answer.

But he was still wondering in his heart, what on earth was going on with that snake demon statue?

Although the Kunlun Mountains are not far from this desert.

But there are also hundreds of kilometers between the two.

How come there is a statue here that is exactly the same as the one in the Nine-story Demon Tower? Will it come back to life?

"Master Xu, which way should we go?!"

the fat man asked.

Xu Feng looked at both sides.

Both roads are tomb passages.

I can't tell any difference.

"Captain Zhang, which way do you think we should go?"

Xu Feng asked.

Zhang Qiling shook his head: "We are all at your disposal. I will go wherever you say I will go."

Hearing this, Xu Feng looked at him in surprise.

"Do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

Zhang Qiling: "If it weren't for you, my teammates and I would have died in the sand. If we were killed by you, we would just repay you for the life we owed you."

Xu Feng: "..."

He turned to Lao Hu and asked, "Lao Hu, use your Feng Shui secret technique to calculate which way to go?"

Old Hu smiled bitterly: "This place is too close to Cishan. My compass has broken down and I can't calculate it."

Xu Feng: "..."

After thinking it over, he said, "Okay, since you trust me, I'll make the decision!"

"Let's go to the right!"

Led by Xu Feng, the group walked into the tomb passage on the right.

Because I'm worried about the agency.

Everyone walked very carefully.

Every step he took was following in Xu Feng's footsteps.

Xu Feng also looked around intently.

I was afraid that there might be traps that I hadn't noticed.

After walking about a hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up.

Xu Feng and others walked out of the tomb passage and looked at the scene in front of them. Everyone gasped.

All they saw before them was a rectangular tomb chamber.

This tomb is very long, like a corridor, about ten meters wide, but two or three hundred meters long. On both sides of the tomb, there is a row of soldier sculptures standing neatly.

These soldier sculptures are extremely lifelike and realistic, as if they were alive, especially their eyes. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but they all looked at the entrance of the tomb with ferocious glares.

Xu Feng was the first to be affected, and he felt as if these soldier sculptures were all staring at him.

It felt as if they were ready to rush over and chop him into pulp at any moment.

When other people saw these soldier sculptures, their faces looked unhappy.

Especially Shirley Yang and Aning.

Both of them looked pale.

But Aning was a little stronger. Even though she was scared, she still kept a stubborn face.

"What's up with these soldier statues?! Why do I feel like there's really someone staring at me!!"

"That's right! Their eyes are so fierce, as if they want to eat people."

"I have never seen such a strange tomb."

"Stop talking, I'm already breaking out in a cold sweat!"

Zhang Qiling's men were discussing in low voices.

Zhang Qiling turned his head and glared at them, and they shut up.

Then he looked toward the walkway between the two rows of soldier statues.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a mechanism in this corridor. If you take the wrong path and trigger the mechanism, those sculpture puppets will immediately attack the intruder."

Zhang Qiling analyzed.

"I remember this road. It seems to be called Huangquan Road."

Lao Hu suddenly said, "I have seen similar trap designs in books. This road is full of traps. The tomb owner is not bored, so he placed so many sculptures. They are the killer moves of the traps."

"It's written in the book, what can I do?"

the fat man asked.

Lao Hu looked a little unhappy: "The only way is to fly over there!"

"Fly over?!"

The fat man looked surprised.

He doubted how such a stupid answer could come out of the usually steady Old Hu's mouth.

"Yes, fly over!"

"A real tomb raider would have a flying claw that he could use to climb walls and roofs. He could just shoot the claw out and grab a fixed object on the opposite side, set up a ropeway, and climb over the Yellow Springs Road without triggering the mechanism."

"Otherwise, in this kind of terrain, even if those sculptures only have simple mechanisms like flint and oil, we will die without a burial place."

Lao Hu said very seriously.

The fat man was speechless for a moment.

"I also feel that there is something wrong with these sculptures. There is always a sense of foreboding."

"If we go straight over there, we might encounter some danger." Xu Feng also said.

"How about we change the route and go back to that road over there?!"

Shirley Young made a suggestion.

Xu Feng shook his head: "If there is a trap here, there must be a trap over there as well. There is no need to go far away. As long as we find a way to crack the trap, there will be no problem."

He stood a little closer and looked at the sculptures.

"Um?!"

He suddenly discovered that there was a green gem inlaid between the eyebrows of those sculptures.

Because it is too small, only the size of a mung bean.

He hadn't noticed it before.

Then, the properties of those green gems appeared before his eyes.

[Item Name: Witch Spirit Stone]

[Item Level: Mid-level Magical Instrument]

[Item Ability: Puppet Control]

[Item Description: Use the magic tool made of witchcraft stone and insect treasure, and embed it between the eyebrows of the figurine. The insect poison in the witchcraft stone will control the figurine and turn it into a killing puppet.]

Witch Stone?!

Insect poison?!
Killer puppet?!

Xu Feng was shocked!

"Everyone, please note that these soldier sculptures should be some kind of puppets."

Xu Feng warned: "This kind of puppet is controlled by the poisonous insect and will automatically attack living people."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

Zhang Qiling came over and said, "Master Xu, how did you figure that out?"

Xu Feng pointed at the carvings and looked at the area between his eyebrows.

"Captain Zhang, do you see those green gems?"

Zhang Qiling took a look and nodded.

"Well, what's so weird about those rocks?"

Xu Feng looked at him in surprise: "Those are divine objects, Captain Zhang, don't tell me you didn't see that~?"

Zhang Qiling's face changed slightly when he heard this.

He looked again at the green stone between the sculptures' brows.
