Chapter 286: The Statue in the Far South
"No one?" Xiao Ye held the Sword of Dusk and Dawn in his hand and stared at the temple in front of him with squinted eyes.
The whole temple gave him a very strange feeling, it was deserted, but upon closer inspection he realized something was not right.
Extremely weird.
Xiao Ye entered the temple along the cold steps and found that the entire temple was empty. There was nothing. Only the walls of the temple were carved with dozens of murals. The content of the murals was very complex, including humans, animals, and... There are some weird-looking creatures.
Xiao Ye continued to search the temple without believing anything, but found nothing in the end. He exited the temple in confusion and frowned at the temple outside.
"I always feel like something is wrong." Xiao Ye shook his head. The snow and ice fell on the surface of the temple and disappeared without a trace in an instant. This disappearance was not like the ice and snow melting after the two came into contact, but more like It's like the ice and snow have entered another world.
"Could it be that the mystery of this temple lies on the surface?" Xiao Ye thought and wanted to fly to the top of the temple to take a look, but as soon as he stood up, a terrifying gravity appeared and pressed him down from the air.
Xiao Ye shook his head and wanted to strike the temple with his sword, but when he wanted to do it, he frowned and stopped instantly, then put away the Sword of Dusk and Dawn and walked down the mountain. go.
Quickly arriving at the outermost edge of the ice field, Xiao Ye saw a man who was walking around. When he saw Xiao Ye's figure, he walked quickly towards Xiao Ye and seemed to be waiting for him.
"Did you come to me?" Xiao Ye asked when he saw someone coming over.
When he was about to split open the temple, he suddenly received a message from Xun, saying that they were in trouble and wanted to seek help from Xiao Ye.
"Well, Brother Xiao Ye." The man took out a jade stone from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ye: "The area you are in is too special. It took a lot of effort to contact you. We also thought about it halfway. I sent people in to look for you, but unfortunately no one survived long enough to bring the news to you."
"You mean you have sent several people in to look for me?" Xiao Ye interrupted him. On the way here, he found nothing at all, let alone anyone.
"Yes, in the past ten days, we have sent almost ten people in. Unfortunately, these people completely lost contact with us as soon as they entered. We can only use special methods to judge whether they are still alive."
"Sadly, almost all of them did not survive more than half an hour and have no idea what they encountered inside."
The man's face was full of horror.
"Wait, how long has it been since I entered?" Xiao Ye suddenly realized something and asked quickly.
"Fifteen days have passed." The man thought for a while and replied.
"Fifteen days?" Xiao Ye was stunned. If he remembered correctly, he entered the ice field and didn't even have a day. How come fifteen days had already passed outside.
Is it because of the temple?
"Brother Xiao Ye, is there a problem?" The man saw Xiao Ye frowning, and his heart tightened, and he asked quickly. When they came, Xun had already warned them that they must treat the person in front of them respectfully. He might be the rescuer. Humanity's only hope.
So even though so many of his companions died in the ice field for no reason because of Xiao Ye, he had no complaints about Xiao Ye.
"It's okay." Xiao Ye shook his head and did not tell him what happened in the ice field. He waved his hand: "Let's go and find it."
"Forget it, I'll take the first step, and you can follow me." Xiao Ye watched the man drive an ordinary car, shook his head, soared into the sky, and rushed towards Xun's location at top speed.
"By the way, seal this place so that no one can enter, otherwise they will lose their lives in vain." After flying for a few seconds, Xiao Ye flew back again and said to the man who was about to drive away: "If people can If it's enough, keep this place under surveillance. If there's anything unusual, be sure to tell Xun immediately and Xun will tell me."
The man nodded, stopped leaving, took out the communication equipment, and contacted the others. After a while, several planes arrived here with dozens of people, and the place was tightly sealed.
Xiao Ye flew through the air and took out the jade she had found for him, which contained what she wanted to tell Xiao Ye in a special way.
After reading the message that Xun left for him, Xiao Ye frowned. He didn't expect that Xun actually went to the place he wanted to explore next, and something happened.
The things that landed in this world this time are one in the extreme north of this world, and the other place is in the extreme south of this world. The place they are looking for is the extreme south.
Although the two places were far apart, with Xiao Ye flying at full speed, he reached the extreme south in just half an hour.
Standing in the sky, Xiao Ye looked at the extreme south below and frowned. Compared with the extreme north, the climate in the extreme south is very good. Hundreds of flowers bloom every day and everything is in bloom. But at this moment, the extreme south The land is in a dark shadow. The light from the sky shines on this area, just like it shines on other worlds, and cannot dispel the darkness at all.
"It's somewhat similar to the situation in the temple." Xiao Ye thought thoughtfully. His mental power extended towards this area and saw countless people struggling in the black shadow. They seemed to be pulled by a strange force. , unable to leave this area.
This area was originally a fertile place in the world, where countless ordinary people lived, but now they are all left behind. This may be the reason why Xun came here, she wanted to save the people here.
Xiao Ye's mental power extended towards the inside, and finally he saw statues one after another. Xun was in the center of the pile of statues. Beside her, there were several people. They were all in a semi-statue state, and their bodies came from the elves. Power surged out to resist the strange power coming from this area.
Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally flew into the area below. He did not expect that the situation here was more complicated than that of the temple.
As soon as they entered this area, a strange force emerged from the void and moved toward Xiao Ye. However, after it came into contact with Xiao Ye's body, it instantly melted away like white snow in spring.
Xiao Ye could feel that this power did not belong to this world, but this power also gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but Xiao Ye could not remember where he had seen this kind of power.
This force was extremely weird, trying to invade Xiao Ye's body all the time. However, the power of dusk and dawn in the Sword of Dusk and Dawn made Xiao Ye not afraid of this weird evil force at all.
This power is also the main factor that causes other people to turn into statues. However, Xiao Ye observed it and found that it seemed to have no interest in ordinary people. The reason why ordinary people could not leave this area should be other reasons.
Xiao Ye ignored these ordinary people and went directly to the location of the statues. After arriving here, he found that there were very few statues that were actually made by humans. Most of the statues seemed to exist naturally because the faces of these statues were completely different. blank.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ye came to Xun and lightly struck half of her statue body with a sword. The next moment, the statue part of Xun's body returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Ye followed the law and rescued several other people, but it was too late and some of them were completely turned into statues. Xiao Ye could no longer feel any breath from them. These people were probably completely dead. .
At this moment, a strange aura suddenly emerged from the statues. Xiao Ye's expression changed, and regardless of the angry looks of others, he chopped the human statues into pieces with a clang of his sword.
The statues were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. It can be clearly seen that the insides of these people's bodies have been completely transformed into statues.
"Why don't you save them?" A young man next to him rushed over and grabbed Xiao Ye's clothes angrily.
"Let go." Xiao Ye said coldly, frowning and looking at him: "Is this how you treat your savior?"
"Do you know who they are? They are the hope of mankind. Instead of saving them, you destroyed their statues. Do you want to make an enemy of all mankind?" The man said angrily to Xiao Ye. : "Isn't that sword of yours very powerful? It can save us with just one touch. In that case, why not save them?"
"If you don't want to save, give me the sword and I will save you. I don't need you!" A glimmer of greed invisible to outsiders flashed in the man's eyes.
"I say it again, let go." Xiao Ye's voice suddenly turned cold. What he hated most in his life was this kind of person, someone who stood on the commanding heights of morality and controlled others with a superior attitude.
"Luo, let go." Xun's cold voice sounded, and the man named Luo snorted before reluctantly letting go of his hand.
"Xun, you saw that Ling and the others can still be saved, but what did he do? Kill them all. Is this your friend? This is obviously our enemy." Luo glanced at Xiao Ye coldly, feeling full Face of anger.
"Idiot." Xiao Ye scolded him. If it weren't for Xun's sake, he wouldn't bother to save such a person. Thinking of this, Xiao Ye withdrew the power of dusk and dawn from him.
In order to prevent them from turning into statues again, Xiao Ye left a trace of the power of dusk and morning on each of them. The effect was obvious. The strange power here was very afraid of the power of dusk and morning, and never came close to others.
"Ah." As Xiao Ye took back the power of dusk and dawn that fell on him, the strange powers around him seemed to have smelled delicious food and all rushed towards him. In an instant, his body began to turn into a statue, and The speed was extremely fast, and in just a few seconds, the statue had reached its neck.
