Chapter 576 - Moving Stone Statue
At that moment, Macbeth realized that there was a small stone statue beside the high platform. It seemed to be a beautiful woman with a sweet appearance and was dressed in luxurious clothes.
He felt curious, so he walked over and touched the clothes of the statue.
When Klein turned around to see this scene, he was horrified. It was too late to stop it.
The moment Macbeth touched the stone statue, the earth shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Only then did Macbeth realize that he had probably caused another disaster. He looked helplessly at Klein.
The violent shaking didn"t seem to last for long before it stopped.
Just as Macbeth was relieved and cursing something in his heart for the scare, the dozen or so stone golems around the high platform suddenly moved!
These stone sculptures were originally standing there quietly, guarding the high platform in front of them.
But after some shaking, these stone sculptures seemed to have come to life, and were all moving!
At this time, Gray"s first reaction was the puppet created by Demon King Saxe!
He knew Demon King Saxe"s methods too well. He could study this strange and unpredictable thing to the extreme.
But what made Gray feel strange was that he had only heard of Demon King Saxe using special metals to create puppets. This was the first time he had seen a puppet made of stone.
Gray reached out and patted Klein on the shoulder. "These things are all surrounding us. It seems like they"re forming an encirclement. They don"t come with good intentions..."
Klein frowned slightly. He could tell that after these stone sculptures moved, their first reaction was to attack a stranger who had recklessly barged in.
It seemed like Macbeth"s rash action had unlocked another linkage mechanism in the s.p.a.ce, causing the stone sculptures to move.
Klein thought for a moment and said, "If I"m not mistaken, these aren"t the puppets you think they are. They aren"t controlled by anyone, nor do they carry energy gems. It"s obvious that they are controlled by another mysterious force..."
Klein was surprised as well. The other mysterious force was somewhat beyond its scope of understanding.
Since these things weren"t the legendary puppets, what could they be?
Why would touching the female statue beside it cause such a huge chain reaction?
Before the few of them could figure out what was going on, the stone puppets had already begun their attack.
Although the stones were heavy, the statues weren"t slow. Furthermore, they could accurately lock onto their targets and attack!
Macbeth was truly frightened. He retreated and hid behind Klein and Gray, his face pale from the fright.
He was considered an intelligent person and had a certain amount of experience. His offensive and defensive abilities were too low. At most, he was just a cabbage.
Under such a powerful attack, Macbeth"s first reaction was to hide in a safe place.
Seeing Macbeth"s reaction, Klein sighed helplessly.
This guy was simply amazing. He could lie, but he had a fragile heart. He could cause trouble, but he couldn"t bear it. It was truly beyond description.
Since his combat strength was low, it was a wise choice to find a place to hide.
Although Klein didn"t like Macbeth, he was still able to stand up and protect the weak at critical moments.
At that moment, Gray"s lightning attack had already been launched. In this place, elemental spells would be greatly affected, and their power would be greatly reduced.
However, Gray"s strength was strong, so he still used lightning to block the stone golems" attacks.
Seeing the two people in front of him so ferocious and terrifying, a look of shock appeared on Macbeth"s face. Only then did he realize that he had offended such powerful figures.
A few stone golems were split apart by Gray"s lightning, and Klein realized that there was something wrong with these stone golems!
There were cracks in the split-open feed, and there seemed to be something flickering in the cracks.
This was clearly not some magic gem that increased strength. It seemed to be some strange creature?
Just as Klein was wondering, one of the stone golems had been completely split apart by Gray"s lightning.
With a boom, the statue was completely blasted apart, sending rocks flying in all directions.
A few of them hit Klein"s body, but they still felt some pain.
At the same time, everything inside was revealed. They were actually densely packed spiders!
Gray, who had a phobia of density, was startled. He jumped four to five meters away.
Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
"What the h*ll is this? Why are there spiders in the statue?"
This was a spider with a strange color and a green glow all over its body.
Not only that, upon closer inspection, every spider actually had a face that resembled a human. Could this be the legendary Human-Faced Spider?
Klein"s heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled some of the legends he had heard. He immediately opened the system to check, and sure enough, there was a record of a Human-Faced Spider.
The system was like an extremely powerful search engine. It was impossible to find a legend that didn"t exist in the world.
As long as it could be found, it meant that not only did it really exist, it wasn"t far from people.
It was said that this Human-Faced Spider was a strange monster that had been left behind since ancient times.
Although it was said to have a human face, it was actually a face that resembled that of ancient humans.
Furthermore, these creatures had always fought in groups, appearing in groups.
When so many strange human faces appeared in front of you, you would naturally feel a chill down your spine. It was very strange.
Without a second thought, Klein burned the spider with his true fire, instantly turning it to ashes.
Macbeth"s eyes lit up as he pointed at the other statues with his right hand.
"So that"s how it is. These statues aren"t easy to deal with. As long as we split open their hard outer sh.e.l.l and release the Human-Faced Spiders inside, they will naturally lose their ability to move!"
This was probably the reason why Macbeth"s deduction was correct.
These statues did not have a kinetic energy system, and it was precisely because there were many Human-Faced Spider eggs placed inside the statues when they were being carved.
After a long period of incubation and development, the spiders had filled the entire interior of the statues.
Probably because they had found a way to crack these strange statues, Klein and Gray worked together to attack one of the statues while the other was responsible for dealing with the Human-Faced Spiders.
It was probably because these spiders were fast, but even if Klein set fire to them at the first moment, it was inevitable that one or two of them would slip through the net and run past them.
Klein didn"t think much of it. After all, it was more troublesome when there were groups of spiders.
Occasionally, one or two of them wouldn"t pose much of a threat to them. Perhaps they would have found a place to hide because they were afraid.
The crackling of lightning was incessant, followed by the sound of burning flames.. It made people"s scalps tingle, and even their backs felt cold.
