322 Stone Statue (2/2)

Pfft!

Zhou Wen felt a tearing pain in his left ear as blood spewed out from the blood-colored avatar's ear.

In the next second, Zhou Wen saw all the strange text transform into small monsters with tails. Their bodies were oval and text was engraved on them. However, inside the text were eyes. They bared their sharp teeth and flapped their wings like a bat, biting at the blood-colored avatar.

Zhou Wen brandished his Overlord Spear to attack the monsters, but every time his spear stabbed a monster, he suffered a rupture in his organs. After killing a few monsters, the blood-colored avatar's body could no longer take the damage.

Summoning the banana fan, he used the Great Yin Wind at the group of tiny monsters. It immediately blew them away and their bodies froze in pieces.

Almost at the same time, the blood-colored avatar's body turned into ice before shattering on the ground. The game screen also turned black.

What strange things are they? Attacking them ends up rebounding onto me? Zhou Wen naturally noticed the strangeness of the monsters, but even though he could figure it out, he couldn't think of a way to resolve the problem.

No matter which path I take, it seems to lead to death. The former principal and the others are probably in grave danger. Zhou Wen sighed inwardly. Based on the present situation, grim possibilities plagued the former principal's fate.

Zhou Wen tried a few more times, but even if he didn't provoke the monsters formed from words, they would still pounce on him and bite him. Even if he wore the Stone Chi's armor, he wouldn't be able to withstand the teeth of the monsters. It was as though they could bite through anything.

Both tunnels eat people… It's impossible to pass through them… Zhou Wen thought to himself as an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Wait… Eating people…

He thought of the stone statue at the T-junction—the one that only had a mouth and no other facial features. It made one feel extremely uncomfortable looking at it.

Since the outcome of entering either tunnel meant being eaten, this seemed connected to the statue to a certain extent.

When Zhou Wen came in front of the stone statue again, he didn't enter the two tunnels. Instead, he carefully observed the stone statue, hoping that he could tell what was amiss.

However, he couldn't tell what was so strange about the stone statue. Desperate, he immediately pulled out his Overlord Spear and aimed it at the stone statue's head.

But in the next second, Zhou Wen saw an extremely terrifying scene. The stone statue opened its mouth and swallowed the blood-colored avatar and spear together. The game's screen instantly turned dark.

The problem does lie with the stone statue. Zhou Wen didn't enter the game again but gave An Sheng a call.

The phone rang a few times until it finally got through. An Sheng's voice sounded. ”Young Master Wen, is there something wrong?”

”Ah Sheng, have you checked the stone statue in the inner sanctum?” Zhou Wen asked.

”It has been inspected in detail, but we didn't find any trap mechanisms,” An Sheng said.

”In whose likeness is the stone statue carved in? Did you figure that out?” Zhou Wen asked again.

”We hired some experts to study and verify it. They believe that it's highly likely to be Aoyin—a monster in mythical legends. Its body looks a little like a person's, but it has immense strength and it enjoys eating brains…” An Sheng explained the conclusion from the experts' analysis in detail.
