Chapter 441 Golden Sculpture
After a long time, the scary beeping sound suddenly stopped.
"Huh..., eldest sister! Could you please let me know when you open the coffin in the future?" Gui Hai patted his chest as he spoke. His tall and burly figure matched this action, which was really neither fish nor fowl. However, this diluted a lot of the sense of terror. In addition, the four of them were all very brave people. After a while, they all calmed down and heard Zhu Yanji slowly say: "These are obviously not coffins! If the legend of the ancient fantasy people is true, If so, this seems to be where they fell asleep!”
"It should be! In other words, there may be living phantom people in those containers, but if you open the container rashly, it seems that they will lose their lives in an instant!"
"Not seemingly, but definitely!"
After seizing the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark to Xiao Mian, the ghost head circled around the open container, with a thoughtful expression on its huge ghost head.
"It stands to reason that when the Fantasy City was destroyed, all the sleeping Fantasy people should have been captured by the invaders. Here, I am afraid there is a group of fish that slipped through the net!"
"Old Ghost, are you saying that this container can really preserve the Phantom People for tens of thousands of years?"
"Good boy! Tens of thousands of years! Isn't that the same as immortality? Should we move a few of them back?" There was no joke in Guihai's expression when he said this. It was obvious that as long as one person agreed, he was going to do it. Pry away those containers. While smiling bitterly, Xiao Mian said angrily: "Brother Guihai! Even if it can be stored in this container for hundreds of thousands of years, does it make sense? It will be destroyed as soon as the container is opened! These illusory people have been living for hundreds of thousands of years. , It’s just a spring and autumn dream!”
"This...how do you know we are not dreaming now?"
Being forced to panic, Gui Hai squeezed out these words that left Xiao Mian speechless.
However, after being interrupted by Xiao Mian, Guihai no longer thought about those containers. After all, the death of the illusory people just now was still in front of him.
After that, everyone searched the entire secret room and found nothing except eighteen intact containers.
But at the other end of the secret room, everyone discovered another wall of sighs.
Under the gaze of the other three people, Xiao Mian waved his fist helplessly.
Another round hole about ten feet long appeared on the Wall of Sighs, and four people filed in and disappeared into the secret room.
But no one noticed that the moment Xiao Mian punched through the Wall of Sighs, the ghost head mysteriously disappeared for a while, but then reappeared soon after.
The huge ghost's face was full of a proud smile...
After the round hole, there is another secret room.
To the four people's relief, the secret room was not filled with coffin-like containers; to the four people's relief, the secret room was filled with various humanoid sculptures.
Some of these sculptures are tall and mighty, some are slender and small, but without exception, they are all human-shaped sculptures with lifelike faces and strange expressions.
It's as if these are not sculptures, but living people who were instantly petrified!
All the sculptures are gray, except for one, which is slightly golden.
The four of them naturally came to this golden sculpture and took a closer look. This sculpture was carved into the image of a woman. She could not be said to be very beautiful, but at most she had delicate features and delicate eyes. A faint golden light emanated from the inside out.
The moment their eyes touched the eyes of the sculpture, the four of them all had the illusion that this statue was actually a living creature!
The next moment, Zhu Yanji trembled all over and looked at Guitou.
"Little girl, you feel it too?"
"Yes! This sculpture seems to be calling me..."
"No! It shouldn't be calling you, but... it is emitting an energy wave that only spiritual consciousness can capture..." After saying this, seeing the puzzled faces of Xiao Mian and others, Guitou simply continued: "This sculpture is asking for help!"
"Help? What help?"
"It needs energy!" It was Zhu Yanji who spoke. Apparently because of their spiritual consciousness, both she and Guitou got the information about the sculpture. After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yanji frowned slightly: "If there is no energy, It will also die!"
"Nirvana? Could it be..."
"Yes! These gray sculptures are the Annihilators!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a moment of silence.
"What's the plan? How about we save it?" Guihai was the first to hold back, but just as he said this, Tuoba Lan shook his head and said: "I don't think it's right! There is something weird everywhere in this place. We came here to seek opportunities, why bother?"
"Xiao Lanzi! How do you know that saving it is not a chance?"
"Guihai! Don't make a fuss, okay? We don't even know its origins. What if we replenish its energy and it bites us back? It's too dangerous!"
"Tch! Xiao Lanzi is just timid. Brother Qingyun, what do you say?"
"Is it important what I say? Is it important what you two say? One of the three of us has no spiritual consciousness, and the other has not received its help information, why are we worrying so blindly?"
Rolling his eyes, Xiao Mian picked himself up completely.
Guihai and Tuoba Lan looked at each other and smiled bitterly after hearing this, and then looked at Zhu Yanji.
"What do you say, Mr. Ghost?"
"..., it's hard to say!" With a big grimace on his face, the ghost head shook his head: "But... it shouldn't be hostile... maybe..."
"Sister Zhu Yan! You shouldn't ask him!" Rolling his eyes, Xiao Mian suggested: "Otherwise, let's vote and decide. No matter what happens afterwards, we won't regret it!"
The four people and the ghost looked at each other and nodded.
They voted directly by raising their hands. Gui Hai agreed to rescue the golden sculpture; Tuoba Lan firmly expressed his opinion, that is, not to rescue; Guitou was the most cunning, and he stayed out of the matter and chose to abstain; Zhu Yanji looked at Xiao Mian.
Unexpectedly, when the time came, the decision-making power of the matter still fell on Xiao Mian...
"Let's save it!"
Xiao Mian expressed his opinion lightly.
What made Xiao Mian make this decision was not only a momentary good intention, but also because of the meaningful smile of the little monk when Xiao Mian came. Besides, Xiao Mian could see that Zhu Yanji really wanted to help the golden sculpture, but Tuoba Lan's worry was not redundant. If her momentary thought put everyone in danger, it would be too late to regret.
Now that the vote has been passed, Zhu Yanji took a deep breath and placed her delicate hands on the top of the golden sculpture. Then, the huge and pure true essence turned into a stream and poured into the golden sculpture. It flashed and disappeared quietly.
Zhu Yanji's jade face was full of expectations. Obviously, just like Gui Hai and Tuoba Lan said when they were arguing, what if rescuing the golden sculpture is an opportunity?
But gradually, Zhu Yanji's face became a little hesitant.
The other three people and Guitou were paying close attention to Zhu Yanji's movements. Therefore, they soon discovered Zhu Yanji's abnormality, and the three people had different expressions at the moment.
"How strange! I have poured half of the true essence in my body, but I still can't help this golden sculpture?" Zhu Yanji's words made Xiao Mian and the other two look much better. They originally thought that Zhu Yanji was plotted against by the golden sculpture, but it turned out that it was just too much true essence consumption. But soon, Zhu Yanji turned pale and cried out: "No! Help me! Quick!"
Since Xiao Mian met Zhu Yanji, he had never seen this big sister so panicked. After a little thought, Xiao Mian put his hand on her back.
Obviously, Zhu Yanji's whole body of true energy could not reverse the situation.
Once the true energy in the body of a cultivator is completely emptied, it is not just a temporary loss of cultivation, but also an irreversible negative impact on the cultivator's body.
But between different cultivators, few dare to directly infuse their own true energy into each other's body like Xiao Mian, unless they are brothers from the same school of the same master-even in that case, they must practice the same technique to dare to do so.
The reason why Xiao Mian dared to do this was naturally because he relied on the convenience of being a Sanqing Guiyuan body to reverse the spirit and return to the origin.
As Xiao Mian's strong true essence was sent into Zhu Yanji's body, Zhu Yanji's situation improved greatly, but soon, she was shocked by the degree of the true essence transmitted by Xiao Mian - but Xiao Mian, who was at the initial stage of the Golden Core, had a stronger true essence than her!
This means that if Xiao Mian reaches Zhu Yanji's realm in the future, his true essence and overall strength will be stronger than Zhu Yanji!
At the same time, why Xiao Mian's true essence does not conflict with her own ghost true essence also puzzled Zhu Yanji.
After taking a deep look at Xiao Mian, seeing the young man who called himself Xiao Qingyun smiled faintly at her, Zhu Yanji nodded, but said nothing.
She would remember Xiao Mian's help today.
However, soon, Zhu Yanji's face became gloomy again.
It turned out that even with Xiao Mian, the total amount of their true essence still could not stimulate the golden sculpture, as if it was a bottomless pit that swallowed true essence...
