This mountain was very high. It was lush with trees and overflowing with greenery. Occasionally, there would be colorful flowers scattered all over the place. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
Halfway up the mountain, there were still many white clouds floating in the air, adding to the elegant and refined style of immortals.
Although the mountain was steep, it was fortunate that there was a stone path that led all the way to the bottom of the mountain, making it very easy for people to climb it. The flagstones were made of limestone and covered with moss, indicating that no one had been here for a long time.
Qin Hai brought Lin Shanxuan onto the stone platform as he prepared to climb the mountain to see what was up there.
Climbing all the way up, even though Lin Shanxuan"s physical strength wasn"t very good, with Qin Hai"s support, she managed to persevere.
Finally, they reached a small hill and a small platform appeared in front of them. The platform was surrounded by railings. The four corners were carved with bluestone carved into the stone lion. Standing on the platform, one could see the scenery beneath the mountain. With the cool breeze blowing, the two of them immediately felt refreshed.
Lin Shanxuan was very interested in the four stone lions. Not only did she approach them to take a look, she even reached out her hand to stroke the lifelike stone lions.
Her slender white fingers gently caressed the stone lions" heads. Her eyes flashed with curiosity. If she brought her phone with her, she would definitely take a picture of these stone lions.
Not only that, she called Qin Hai over, pointed at the stone lion, and said in surprise, "Look, this stone lion is carved to look like it"s real. Its eyes are embedded with green gemstones, and it looks like it"s alive."
Not only that, Lin Shanxuan even reached out her hand to touch the stone lion"s eyes.
The stone lion was very lifelike indeed. Not only were the hairs on its body completely exposed, its eyes seemed to be made of some unknown gem, and its black eyes gave off the aura of a king among beasts. Qin Hai also discovered that no matter where they stood on the platform, the eyes of these stone lions seemed to be staring at them.
"These stone lions are strange!"
Qin Hai suddenly felt that something was wrong. The eyes of these stone lions were truly moving. No matter where they went, the eyes of these stone lions would follow.
This discovery caused his hair to stand on end, and he immediately pulled Lin Shanxuan to retreat quickly.
Roar!
Almost at the same time, the stone lion that had been caressed by Lin Shanxuan suddenly moved. It let out a low growl, forcefully stomped backwards with all its might, and charged towards Qin Hai and the others with its ma.s.sive body.
Even though it was a bluestone body, the stone lion"s movements were agile and powerful, as if it was truly alive.
Lin Shanxuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She could not believe her eyes and had completely forgotten about escaping.
Qin Hai quickly moved her to the side, barely avoiding the stone lion"s pounce.
"Stay here and don"t move. I"ll go deal with it!"
Qin Hai placed Lin Shixuan next to the fence and rushed towards the stone lion. He had experienced a great battle yesterday. Although he was heavily injured, after a night of rest, most of his wounds had healed. Although he still couldn"t use his true essence, he still had strength.
Bang!
Facing the incoming stone lion, Qin Hai punched the stone lion"s head first.
"Break for me!"
Following Qin Hai"s furious roar, the stone lion was sent flying. It didn"t stop until it hit a fence on the other side.
However, it did not break and quickly stood up again.
Qin Hai was astonished. After he had cultivated the Pangu Genesis Technique, his power had increased by a huge amount. Even a Human King Realm expert would not be able to withstand a punch from him, much less a normal stone.
"These stone lions have been refined into treasures. Their individual attack power is no weaker than a human king"s. Be careful, don"t let them tear you apart!"
The divine dragon"s voice resounded in Qin Hai"s mind just in time. It was only then that Qin Hai came to a realization.
"It"s fine, even if its fighting strength is comparable to a human king, it"s still nothing but a rock. "Watch me!"
Just as Qin Hai was about to attack again, three roars sounded out from three other corners.
The other three stone lions had actually survived as well.
No wonder the words that the divine dragon said just now were "they"!
Qin Hai felt his blood run cold, because even if the stone lion"s battle strength was comparable to a human king, it was still a stone after all. It couldn"t be as powerful as a real human king, nor as smart as a human.
However, with the sudden increase of three stone lions, the difficulty had increased by four times. He was about to face the besieging of four king level experts. It was exactly the same as yesterday when he was facing the besieging of Tie Jianqiu and Zu Chong.
And right now, he couldn"t use his primeval essence, so his strength had been reduced by at least half.
The heck, something big was about to happen!
Qin Hai didn"t have time to think because the first stone lion and the three stone lions that had just "awoken" were charging at him. Each of these fellows was as tall as a person. When all four of them were gathered together, it was terrifying to the extreme.
Hiding by the railings, Lin Shanxuan was scared silly. She looked at the four stone lions dumbfoundedly. Her heart was filled with shock and she wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
She was already frightened to the point of losing her voice.
"F * ck, I"ll go all out!"
At this critical moment, Qin Hai could not think too much. He quickly turned around and pulled Lin Shanxuan away.
He left the small platform as fast as he could and ran down the mountain.
After running for about five to six minutes, Qin Hai was tired and out of breath. He then realized that the four stone lions had disappeared.
They did not catch up.
Qin Hai sat on the ground, while Lin Shanxuan also sat beside him in a disgraceful manner.
She was not tired, but her legs were weak from fright.
Sitting on the ground, she was still tightly holding onto Qin Hai"s clothes, as if this was the only way she could be safer.
"Those … "What are those things?" After a long while, Lin Shanxuan finally asked, trembling.
"It should be a guardian beast, a magical equipment crafted by the master of this mountain. It will automatically attack the intruder …"
Qin Hai explained the origins of the four stone lions in as simple a language as possible, even though many of them were his guesses.
Knowing that what had just happened was not some supernatural event, Lin Shanxuan"s face finally regained some color.
"It"s all my fault, I shouldn"t have touched them, otherwise they wouldn"t have come back alive!"
After understanding what was going on, Lin Shanxuan started to blame herself.
"It has nothing to do with you. They will automatically attack everyone who comes in here. Even if you don"t touch them, they will still "live"." At this time, Qin Hai had almost rested. He looked back at the mountain top and stood up. "You rest here, I"ll go up and take a look."
If he wanted to leave this place, then he had to go to the top of the mountain. And if he wanted to go to the top, he had to get rid of the four stone lions first.
Qin Hai decided to give it another try.
Although the four stone lions all had Mortal King combat strength, he refused to believe in evil.
"I... I"ll go with you! " Lin Shanxuan hurriedly stood up, her face somewhat pale.
After experiencing that scene, she didn"t dare to stay here alone. What if something strange rushed out?
Qin Hai thought for a moment and felt that since the four stone lions didn"t chase after them, they wouldn"t be too far away from the platform. He just wanted Lin Shanxuan to stand far away and see him.
As such, he quickly brought Lin Shanxuan to the small platform. Hitting him in the hand, please wait a moment. After the content has been updated, you need to refresh the page to get the latest updates!
