Chapter 710 – Dangerous Origin
”Don’t just touch these stone statues, since they are alive, any outside stimulus may revive them.” The knight opened his mouth and warned.
Wu Xiangnan walked through between these stone statues, carefully observing each of their demeanor, gaze, and even the tendency of their movements, and after a long time, he stood in the midst of the many stone statues, and suspiciously turned his head to look in a certain direction.
”What have you discovered?” The knight asked when he saw Wu Xiangnan looking puzzled.
”The movements of these stone statues are basically running, or slightly extending their arms forward, and there is some …… longing in their eyes? Are they fighting for something?” Wu Xiangnan guessed and opened his mouth, he gazed at that direction and continued, “Look at the direction of movement of the vast majority of them, they are all over there.”
”What’s over there?”
”I don’t know, perhaps we should go over there and take a look.”
The three of them walked through the many hideous stone statues, the deeper they went, the denser the stone statues became, on top of the ruins of this Demon Shrine, there were at least more than forty “Mysteries” in the form of stone statues staggered about, and the aura fluctuations they emitted were very terrifying.
As the three of them went deeper and deeper, eventually a short black temple appeared in their eyes.
That temple is only two or three meters high, which is equivalent to the size of an ordinary basketball court, dark walls and ancient stone pillars topped with a Japanese-style shrine roof, in the center of the shrine, placed a sturdy statue of the god, body wrapped in a gold ring, back hanging hook jade, looks heroic and heroic.
His left hand palm upward, as if in the virtual support of something, but between the palm is empty. In the center of the palm of his right hand hovered a silver-colored chaotic sphere, emitting a strange phantom light in the pitch-black shrine, rolling like a living thing.
The moment Wu Xiangnan and the knight saw this silver sphere, for some reason, their eyes stared at the sphere, unable to take their eyes off of it, and an unprecedented longing welled up in their hearts, a more primitive instinct than survival and reproduction, a species’ longing for evolution and freedom from the shackles of the mortal body!
Deep within their hearts, an incomparably strong thought compelled them to obtain that silver-colored sphere!
They subconsciously stretched out their hands, wanting to hold that silver-colored sphere in their palms ……
Just then, a pair of white hands grabbed the wrists of both of them at the same time.
Garland, who was dressed in dark blue Han robes, stood in front of the two, strangling their wrists with a death grip, his eyes filled with seriousness, “This thing cannot be touched!”
Hearing these words, Wu Xiangnan and the knight’s dim eyes still did not have the slightest change, they were unable to control their deepest desires, their palms were still subconsciously tussling with Jia Lan, wanting to break free from her wrists to grab for that silver-colored orb.
Wu Xiangnan is fine, Carla can control him with one hand, but the knight’s strength is too strong, as one of the top Red Lotus Knights in the London “Human Circle”, his physical strength has long exceeded the scope of normal people can understand, coupled with Carla’s only one hand at the moment, for a moment it was impossible to stop him.
The knight shook off Garland’s arm, and with a vibration of his wrist, the clear stream of water shot out like silk, curling towards the silver orb in the center of the stone statue!
His eyes were filled with excitement and longing!
Seeing this, as if remembering something bad, Calan clenched her teeth and violently pressed the button on the handle of the black box, and the golden lance [Heavenly Que] automatically popped out and was instantly gripped in her hand, stabbing at the knight’s palm!
The sharp tip of the lance pierced through the knight’s palm, blood spattered out, and the sharp pain caused the knight to wake up from his dazed state, his eyes flashing with panic.
”Sorry about that.” A flash of determination flashed in Caran’s eyes.
Whoosh-!
A long, snow-white leg whistled and broke through the air, kicking him heavily in the chest, and the terrifying force sent him flying instantly, smashing into the dark gray fence more than twenty meters away and falling to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the clear stream of water touched the silver sphere, the chaotic tumbling silver sphere looked like it was coming to life, an arcane silver light followed the stream of water, filling the air in an instant, only to come to an abrupt end at the end of the stream of water.
If Garland hadn’t kicked the knight away just now, I’m afraid that this silver light would have already burrowed into his body by now.
At this moment, Wu Xiangnan had also awakened, he looked at the silver sphere in shock, and then looked at the knight who had been injured and kicked away by Calan, his eyes flashed with doubt.
”What’s going on? What happened?!” Wu Xiangnan looked towards Garland, who was holding a lance in his hand.
”This thing cannot be touched.” Jia Lan spoke in a serious and incomparable manner, “At least you guys can’t, it doesn’t fit with your body, and it contains impurities inside, if you rashly inhale it into your body, you’ll die in less than three months, there’s no cure at all.”
Wu Xiangnan froze, “What exactly is this thing?”
Caran looked back at the silver-colored sphere, his brows furrowed, “This is …… some kind of ‘origin’.”
”Origin?”
”It’s the soil that breeds laws, after absorbing it, one possesses the possibility of becoming a god without risk, and the entire level of one’s life will be sublimated, no longer belonging to the category of a mere ‘human’.” Calan opened his mouth to explain.
”Risk-free becoming a god!” Wu Xiangnan froze in place when he heard those words.
He turned back to the stone statues that were hideously eager to approach this temple, as if he understood something, “So, these things are all here to grab the ‘Origin’?”
”It should be, ‘Origin’ means the evolution of the life level, no creature can resist its temptation.”
Hearing these words, Wu Xiangnan was stunned, he turned his head to look at Jia Lan, “What about you? Why aren’t you attracted to it?”
Jia Lan avoided Wu Xiangnan’s gaze, pursed her lips and did not speak.
”Cough cough cough ……,” the knight staggered to his feet from the corner, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth as he opened his mouth to ask, “‘Origin’? How come I’ve never heard of it before …… Where did you know about it?”
Jia Lan remained silent.
Seeing that Calan refused to speak, Wu Xiangnan and the Knight had no intention of continuing to pursue the matter, and they glanced at each other as a helpless color emerged in their eyes.
In any case, if Jia Lan did not stop them just now, now they most likely have already inhaled this “source” into the body, and then waiting for the violent death of ……
Wu Xiangnan was about to say something, his eyes swept over a stream of water on the ground flickering with silver light, and suddenly his pupils suddenly shrunk!
Only to see that the mass of water mixed with silver light, is following the gully of the ruins, flowing into the staggered group of stone statues, silver phantom light surging in the air, all the stone statues that exist in this ruins, all of a sudden violent trembling up!
A great earthquake chimed!
