The headless, single single armed statue had a very odd gesture.
“Hey, Uncle, do you recognize what this is?” Tang Tian and Bing communicated secretly.
“Nope.” Bing shook his head, but he was slightly surprised: “This stone statue does seem odd. It’s as if there are signs of a martial spirit inside of it.”
“Signs of a martial spirit?” Tang Tian did not notice. He touched the stone statue with his hand when Bing said it to him and closed his eyes to feel.
The martial spirit was very weak, but it was such a demonic martial spirit… Tang Tian’s heart turned cold. It was the first time he had felt such gloomy, eerie, demonic martial spirit. Then, he knew this headless, single armed stone statue was not an ordinary one.
Gu Xue opened her eyes big and looked curiously at Tang Tian who had his eyes closed. She could not tell what about this stone statue could attract Tang Tian so much.
When she saw Tang Tian opened his eyes, Gu Xue asked curiously: “Is there anything special about this stone statue?”
“Yes!” Tang Tian’s face was congealed: “It has a martial spirit.”
“There’s a martial spirit?” Gu Xue was stunned: “Why does a stone statue have a martial spirit?”
“Mmhmm, and it is a very gloomy, eerie and demonic martial spirit.” Tang Tian checked on the scars on this stone statue. The erosion was not too serious, it had not been too long since it was eroded. Thinking about what Gu Xue said earlier, that thirty years ago there were several people coming here, Tang Tian estimated that it was also during that time it was broken by those people.
With an idea, Tang Tian was suddenly energetic: “Let’s see if we can find its hands and head. This stone statue is not an ordinary statue.”
Gu Xue was instantly interested. Without hesitating: “Then let’s try to find them and piece it up. Look at its hands, the engravings are so pretty.”
Tang Tian glanced and nodded: “Yes, they are!”
The intact arm was indeed beautiful. Although Tang Tian did not know how to appreciate art, his eyes could not help but to get attracted to that hand, it was amusing.
And he kept having a feeling that this special hand gesture was not that simple…
He could not pinpoint an exact thing, but his instinct was super strong because his eyes were first caught by this hand gesture. If it was not for Bing’s reminder, he might not even sense that there was a weak, rippling wave of a martial spirit in this stone statue.
Tang Tian and Gu Xue started to look for the body parts in the ruins.
Not before long, Gu Xue suddenly shouted out cheerfully: “Here!”
Tang Tian looked up and ran over hurriedly. It was certainly an arm. From its style, it did look like it was from the stone statue. Tang Tian studied it, it was a different gesture.
The two ran over to the stone statue and tried to piece it back, only to realise that there was an extra piece.
“It’s not this.” Tang Tian was still energetic: “Seems like there’s more than one of these stone statues!”
“It’s an amazing discovery.” Gu Xue was overjoyed. It was as if she had found a big treasure chest. Her face was painted with joy and curiosity. On top of this, she discovered this with Tang Tian. There was nothing else that could make her more happy.
“Let’s look around quickly and see if there are other stone statues!” Tang Tian was looking forward. Suddenly, he felt this might really be an amazing discovery.
The two started to look around seriously.
“There’s one here!”
“I’ve found one here!”
…
The two buried their heads and looked for it. Past noon, the two had finally plowed around the ruins for a few rounds. Other than those buried deep which they could not reach, they had probably covered everything on ground level.
The ruined items they found piled up like a hill
Yet, the two did not feel tired. They looked at this hill as though they saw a pile of treasures. The two started to piece them up. Gu Xue was better than Tang Tian in this aspect. Very quickly, Tang Tian stood to one side to watch because he realised, even with his help, he was not as fast as Gu Xue.
The five broken stone statues were fixed.
But when these five stone statues were placed together, even Gu Xue could tell that something was wrong.
“Which era did this ruined site belong to?” Tang Tian asked Gu Xue.
“I don’t know.” Gu Xue shook her head: “There were many who came by here, but no one knew which era this ruined site belonged to.”
Although the five stone statues were broken and untidy, when placed together, the temperature of the surroundings dropped quite a lot. A gloomy, eerie qi surrounded the two of them.
Gu Xue was slightly pale. Subconsciously, she leaned towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian’s face changed slightly. he pushed Gu Xue behind him. Obviously, the martial spirits in these stone statues were weak, but when these five stone statues were placed together, the martial spirit qi suddenly got strong.
Something was wrong!
The qi grew stronger. Tang Tian’s uneasiness soared. Without caring for other things, he grabbed hold of Gu Xue and threw her behind with his mighty force.
He roared: “Bing!”
Bing who was controlling Saber-toothed Tiger appeared at the side of Tang Tian. Gu Xue, being thrown by Tang Tian flew in mid air to pull their distance apart. She knew her powers were weak and would not be able to help out. The most important thing was not to distract Tang Tian.
She looked nervous.
The presence of the five broken statues rose continuously. The gloomy, eerie and demonic qi rippled out. Tang Tian had a feeling the five broken stone statues were coming to life.
Tang Tian felt as though something was emerging from the soil beneath his leg. Quickly, he pulled himself back, swoosh, a silhouette emerged from the soil and brushed against him. It was a broken stone.
Bang!
