Chapter 478: A Strange Sight (2/2)
This is indeed feasible! Han Shuo immediately spread open his two hands. His fingernails suddenly grew madly long to form the incredibly incisive Demonic Blades that glimmered cold light. With his demonic skill, Han Shuo began to dig into the ice. After boring three meters deep into the ice, Han Shuo finally saw the foundational support of the frozen mountain – rocks.
Han Shuo issued his command to metal elite zombie. Once he understood the command, golden lights radiated from his palm. Metal yuan energy steeped into the rocks like flowing water. Afterwards, under Han Shuo’s attentive gaze, the hard, solid rock split open, creating a pathway.
As Han Shuo gazed at the tunnel produced, he couldn’t help but lament in his heart how truly useful the five elite zombies had been to him, even without taking their strengths into consideration.
Following his sense of Corey’s location, with the assistance of metal elite zombie, from halfway up the mountain, Han Shuo unhurriedly headed towards the mountain summit where Ice Celestial Corey was located.
The metal elite zombie himself could freely go in and out in rocks, as though he were swimming in water. But now, having to take Han Shuo along, metal elite zombie had no choice but to open up a tunnel. Using some methods that Han Shuo could not understand, while metal elite zombie’s palms discharged brilliant golden rays, the hard rock was split up, recombined, and tamped to build a path growing upwards.
As metal elite zombie’s palms glowed golden, the tunnel didn’t seem in the slightest bit dark. While he followed behind metal elite zombie up an inclined pathway, he considered the particulars on mounting a sneak attack on Ice Celestial Corey.
All of a sudden, the metal elite zombie stopped. Caught off guard, Han Shuo almost bumped into metal elite zombie.
They had walked just a few hundred meters. There was still a long way up the frozen mountain summit where Corey was. Why would metal elite zombie suddenly stop?
Han Shuo was puzzled. Looking at the back of metal elite zombie, Han Shuo didn’t hesitate to transmit, “Why did you stop?’
“Father, look!” metal elite zombie leaned to one side. The rocks around him pulled back a little, making enough space for Han Shuo and metal elite zombie to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Han Shuo strode over to the empty spot that metal elite zombie specifically let out, and cast his sight following the upward direction that metal elite zombie pointed to with his right hand. He was immediately dumbstruck by what he saw.
In front of Han Shuo was a big chamber made by hollowing out the mountain rocks. There stood a magnificent, approximately sixty meter tall statue of the Ice Goddess, within the emptied insides of the mountain.
This grand, gargantuan statue of the Ice Goddess was made of ice as polished as perfect crystals. The carving was vivid and lifelike. She wore an expression as cold as ice, with her left hand holding firmly onto a crystal staff also carved from ice, appearing as though she was fighting against some wicked demon. Her look was solemn and dignified, giving off a sacred feeling of inviolability.
The Ice Goddess statue was dressed in a unusual striped robe. But as the entire graven image was made of the same block of solid ice, Han Shuo could clearly see her body interiors.
Inside the body of the carving, there were no internal organs, but a mixture of iced water and some peculiar substances was circulating within. It glistened like diamond as it slowly flowed through her body in some kind of strange pattern.
However, in the lower abdomen of the statue of the Ice Goddess where the uterus should have been, stood a fully-naked, beautiful young lady with jade-like skin. Her eyes were serenely shut, and emanated not an iota of the presence of life. She possessed such beauty that could give the Saintess of the Church of Light a run for her money – so perfect it seemed impossible that it could exist in this world!
Han Shuo stood below the statue. When he raised his head to look at this majestic carving of the Ice Goddess, a feeling of insignificance surfaced from the bottom of his heart. He was momentarily awestruck by this Ice Goddess statue in the center of the mountain that appeared out of nowhere.
The only certainty was that this statue had been carved from just one massive chunk of ice. There must have been a justification for the Shrine of Ice to hollow out the insides of the mountain and place in it such an enormous statue of the Ice Goddess. After Han Shuo came to his senses, he was shocked to the core, his eyes glittering.
The naked young lady situated in the womb of the Ice Goddess statue was ice cold and without any trace of life. Han Shuo’s consciousness also could not detect any soul fluctuation. No matter how, he could not understand why there would be such an odd scene in the interior of this mountain.
While Han Shuo was still perplexed and pondering, rasping sounds suddenly came from the rock wall above the statue. WIth Han Shuo watching attentively, a huge platform slowly protruded from the wall. A few disciples of the Shrine of Ice stood on the platform.
At the first rasping noise that sounded, Han Shuo instinctively stepped backward and hastily sent a command to metal elite zombie. Metal elite zombie made one sweep with his hand. The passageway opening in front of him rapidly shrunk. By the time the rock platform above the statue fully extended, the passageway before Han Shuo and metal elite zombie had shrunken to just one small fissure remaining.
