Chapter 353 Black Tiger's Sneak Attack
Gu Yang couldn't suppress his curiosity and carefully walked around to the front of the dark "stone".
When he saw the scene clearly, he gasped and stumbled back two steps.
This is not a stone at all, it's clearly a statue half buried in the soil!
The statue was covered in thick black mud and at first glance it did look like a piece of stone.
Its arms were broken and missing, leaving only two jagged fractures at the shoulders.
The most horrifying thing is the face——
The statue's face was twisted into an expression of extreme fear, with its mouth wide open and its eyes almost bulging out, as if it had seen something terrible before dying.
"What's wrong?" Hu Qing rushed over after hearing the sound. After seeing the statue in front of him clearly, his whole body froze.
The two looked at each other and at the so-called "stones" around them.
After careful examination under the dim moonlight, I found that each "stone" was indeed a statue, and most of them were incomplete:
Some were missing their heads, some were cut in half, and some had only half their bodies left...
"What on earth are these things..." Hu Qing's voice trembled a little.
"What are you two dawdling about?" The Sword God's voice came from not far away, with obvious impatience in his tone.
He stood in front, his figure looking particularly cold and stern in the pale moonlight.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang finally came to their senses and quickly jogged to catch up.
Although they were full of questions, looking at the strange statues around them, they wisely chose to remain silent.
In this eerie and terrifying place, it is safest to stay with the Sword God.
The road under my feet seems to be endless.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two were already panting, with beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.
Sure enough, it was still a bit difficult for the two of them to travel without spiritual power.
The soil under my feet became softer and softer, sinking a little deeper with every step, but the color was still as black as ink, as if it had been stained by something filthy.
Just when the two were about to collapse, Hu Qing suddenly looked up and saw the outline of a tall tower suddenly appearing on the plain in the distance.
The tower was pitch black, shining in the dim moonlight, and its spire pointed straight to the sky, like a pine tree rising from the ground.
The Sword God stopped and pointed at the tall tower and said:
"Let's go quickly, there are people waiting for us there."
His voice remained calm, but in this environment, it inexplicably made people feel a little uneasy.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang exchanged a glance, both seeing deep doubts in each other's eyes.
How could there be someone waiting for them in this dead and soulless place?
And in such a gloomy tower...
But there was no other choice at the moment, the two could only drag their tired steps and continue forward with the Sword God.
The tall tower cast a long shadow in the moonlight, like a gaping mouth, waiting to devour them...
The Sword God walked faster and faster, his figure moving farther and farther away in the darkness, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared from the sight of the two.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang shouted desperately, their voices echoing in the dead silent wasteland, but they received no response.
The two men gritted their teeth and chased after him, but after running a hundred feet, they felt a burning pain in their chests and their legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. Finally, they both fell to the ground in the dark mud, gasping for breath.
“Roar——” Seeing this, Xiao Zi spread his wings and wanted to fly after him.
But just as it took off into the air, an invisible force descended from the sky and slammed it heavily to the ground.
The dragon scales collided with the black mud with a dull sound. Xiao Zi groaned in pain, and for the first time, a look of fear appeared in his golden vertical pupils.
Hu Qing struggled to stand up and wiped the mud off his face:
"This damn place... you're not even allowed to fly."
His robes had long been soaked in black mud, and the sticky touch made him nauseous, but he couldn't care less at the moment.
Gu Yang picked up the fallen Soul Devouring Blade and looked towards the towering black tower in the distance:
"Since Senior Sword God said we want to go to the tower, then we can walk there ourselves."
His voice was trembling, but firm.
The three of them regrouped and headed towards the tower.
Xiao Zi learned his lesson this time and followed the two of them obediently, looking around vigilantly from time to time, with his dragon tail swinging restlessly.
Suddenly, a low roar came from all directions.
The sound was not like that of any wild beast, but more like a groan coming from deep underground, which was creepy.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang tensed up instantly, stood back to back, and each drew their weapons, ready for battle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The black soil beside him suddenly exploded into three pits, and three pitch-black tigers jumped out from the ground.
They have no hair and are covered in a sticky, tar-like substance that glows eerily in the moonlight.
The most terrifying thing is their eyes - there are no pupils, only two blood-red spots of light.
After the three black tigers landed, they seemed to have planned it in advance and pounced on their targets respectively.
Before Gu Yang could get into position, a black tiger pounced towards him.
He hastily raised the Soul-Devouring Blade to block, but the moment he was bitten by the tiger's mouth, an unimaginable force came, and the whole person was blown several feet away and fell heavily on the mud.
Strangely, the black tiger did not pursue the victory, but stood where it was, staring at Gu Yang with its blood-red eyes, as if waiting for him to stand up again.
Hu Qing was also in danger.
His royal sword struck the black tiger, but it was like hitting rotten leather, leaving no trace.
Instead, the black tiger swung its claws, leaving three deep wounds on his left arm that were so deep that the bone could be seen, and the blood immediately dyed his sleeves red.
"Roar——" Xiao Zi's angry roar suddenly sounded.
It swept its dragon tail across, forcing the black tiger to retreat, and then pounced fiercely, its sharp claws piercing deeply into the black tiger's back.
The black tiger roared in pain, but could not break free from the dragon's claws.
Xiao Zi took the opportunity to bite the black tiger's neck. The sharp dragon teeth pierced into the black substance, and dark red liquid gushed out.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were surprised and happy when they saw this.
It seems that these monsters are not invincible, but the weapons in their hands seem to be ineffective against them.
The two looked at each other and thought of the same thing: In this spiritual land, perhaps physical strength is the key.
Gu Yang was the first to throw down the Soul-Devouring Blade and took a stance for close combat.
When the black tiger pounced again, he dodged sideways and hit the tiger's head hard with an elbow.
This attack actually made the black tiger stagger a few steps, which was obviously much more effective than weapons.
Hu Qing also decisively dropped his sword, endured the severe pain in his left arm, and swung out with his right fist.
The punch hit the black tiger's abdomen so hard that the monster was knocked back several steps.
The two of them were cheered up, it seemed that they had found a way to deal with these monsters.
Xiao Zi has completely suppressed the black tiger, and his dragon claws are deeply embedded in the black tiger's body. Every time he tears, a large amount of dark red liquid is brought out.
The black tiger's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally it turned into a pool of sticky black mud and seeped into the ground, leaving only a blood-red bead rolling on the ground.
