Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 608: Exploring the Mysterious Bluestone Road (+1 for Eghver. An Yi)

"Click."

With a slight sound, the knight picked out a small black device from the vermilion torii side pillar.

He held the thing in his hand, looked at it over and over again, his brows twisted into a knot.

"Is this... the signal transmitter of the 'Paratrooper'?" Wu Xiangning came over and stared at the thing in the knight's hand with an ugly expression.

The Knight nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, it belongs to the Paratrooper. It seems that he has indeed been here."

Jialaner stood aside, folding his arms, saying nothing.

Her blue eyes scanned the surroundings, as if she was looking for something.

"Strange, where are the 'paratroopers'?" Wu Xiangning asked doubtfully, looking around. "The transmitter is here, but the people are gone, and there are no signs of a fight..."

The Knight put away the signal transmitter and said in a deep voice: "There are two possibilities. Either the 'paratrooper' voluntarily gave up the mission and left here; or..." He paused and did not continue.

Wu Xiangning and Jia Laner both understood what he had not said.

Another possibility is that something happened to the "paratrooper".

"There's something weird about this place."

The knight looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and looked gloomy and depressing. "We'd better be careful."

"Yeah." Wu Xiangning and Jia Lan'er both nodded with serious expressions.

The three of them walked slowly forward along the winding bluestone road under their feet.

This bluestone road has been paved for who knows how many years, and it is covered with moss and cracks.

With every step you take, you can feel the ancient atmosphere coming from under your feet.

The surrounding trees are all old trees with twisted branches that block out the sun.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, making it look even more eerie and strange.

"Do you feel that... the environment here seems a little wrong?" Wu Xiangning suddenly spoke as he walked.

"Yeah." The Knight replied, "I felt it too. The atmosphere here is different from that in the 'human circle'."

"I smell... 'mystery'."

Jialaner suddenly said, her small nose twitching slightly, like a little animal looking for food.

The knight was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed: "You mean... we're still in the 'gap'?"

Jialaner nodded.

"How can this be?"

Wu Xiangning's eyes widened. "Haven't we already passed through the 'gap' and entered the 'human circle'?"

The Knight shook his head. "I don't know either. But Jialan'er's sense of smell is never wrong."

"It seems that the scale of this 'human circle' is much larger than we imagined..."

The three of them were silent for a moment.

The larger the "human circle", the stronger the "mystery" within it, and the greater the danger they face.

"Let's keep going forward and see."

The knight broke the silence, "Perhaps, there will be some discoveries ahead."

"Yeah." Wu Xiangning and Jia Lan'er both nodded and continued walking along the bluestone road.

The eerie feeling around them grew stronger and stronger, as if something was watching them in the dark.

Jialaner couldn't help but shiver and hugged her arms tightly.

"Don't be afraid."

The Knight noticed Jia Lan'er's strange behavior and whispered to comfort her, "I'm here."

Jialaner glanced at him, said nothing, and just nodded silently.

Suddenly, Jialaner stopped and seemed to have discovered something. She turned her head sharply and looked towards the end of the bluestone road.

"Look!" Jialaner pointed ahead, her voice trembling slightly.

The rider and Wu Xiangning looked in the direction of her finger.

At the end of the bluestone road, the outline of a building appeared vaguely.

Those are the remains of a... shrine.

The ruins are broken and dilapidated, but you can still vaguely see its former glory.

And in the center of the shrine ruins, stood several... stone statues.

Those stone statues have different shapes, hideous faces, and are covered with cracks, as if they will break at any time.

Ignoring the gloom around her, Jialaner took two steps at a time and walked quickly forward.

"these are……"

As Wu Xiangning muttered to himself, the knight stared intently at a stone statue.

His muscles were tense, as if he had seen something extremely dangerous.

Wu Xiangning also walked quickly forward and looked at the stone statues carefully.

The more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong. Although these stone statues had ancient shapes,

But it exudes an evil aura, and does not look like a statue dedicated to gods at all. Instead, it looks more like... a statue of a demon!

“These…are not idols!”

Wu Xiangning gasped and exclaimed, "This is... the image of a demon!"

Galaner walked around the stone statues, reached out her hand and gently touched the surface of one of them.

The cold touch made her fingertips tremble slightly.

"These 'mysteries'...are alive."

Jia Lan'er's voice was as light as a gust of wind, but it made the hearts of the knight and Wu Xiangning sink suddenly.

"Live?!"

Wu Xiangning's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible? They're clearly stones!"

The knight said nothing, his eyes fixed on the stone statues.

He could feel a faint yet extremely powerful aura emanating from these stone statues.

It was a kind of... sealed "mysterious" aura.

"They are... petrified."

Jia Lan'er said slowly, with a tremor in her voice.

"But their 'mystery' hasn't disappeared. They... are still alive."

Wu Xiangning and the knight looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

What are the origins of these petrified "mysteries"?

Why are they sealed here?

"They seem to be..." Wu Xiangning took a few steps closer to observe.
