Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
"Brother, look, there's nobody around him!"
The girl suddenly shouted at that moment.
To be honest, I originally thought the girl would be terrified of the scene before her.
But instead of adjusting her own state, the girl directly reminded me, which made me look at her in a new light.
In other words, even if the girl hadn't actually experienced such a scene, she had definitely seen it several times.
Otherwise, simply watching the person in the painting slowly walk out would never be the natural state that the young girl is in now!
After carefully considering the girl's words, I nodded in agreement.
Then it suddenly dawned on me, oh, so that's why you've been taking up this whole piece of paper all by yourself!
If there were other people on this painting before, they might have all been erased, leaving a space specifically for this ancient person, a place for him to hide!
As she squeezed herself little by little into the mural, I noticed that her previously protruding arms had now become still.
Or rather, it's not that his arms are flat, but rather that they are less prominent because of the overall shape of his body.
His body stretched outward little by little, accompanied by a crackling sound of breaking stones.
That's when I noticed that this was probably what it looked like before he raised his fist!
The mural I just saw has pits and cracks, which are traces of stones falling off!
The reason it wasn't because I chopped it with a knife!
Holy crap, does that mean this ten people aren't the first to walk out of the mural, or that this isn't the first time they've broken free from the mural?
Originally completely embedded inside, I could hear it clearly: the stone chips on the mural were slowly falling down his muscles!
And his muscles were growing at an even faster rate...
Right now, I only have one thought in my mind: to run.
But the problem is, where can we run to?
This is the more important issue. I first glanced at the girl, who was completely captivated by the scene.
As for the Thunder Strike Sword, he kept shouting it in my head, "Go for it!"
"No, he's walking out right now. If you slash at him, will you even be able to hurt him? Putting it aside, I feel it's more likely that we'll end up dead inside!"
I said it somewhat irritably.
That's exactly the point. If we attack the murals at this time, we might actually be helping the ancients.
His muscles were growing rapidly in a self-destructive way, whereas just moments ago he had the slender appearance of a scholar.
At this moment, his muscles were so strong that they were about to burst the clothes on his upper body!
"He's coming out!"
The electric arcs on the lightning sword were leaping wildly; he didn't know when he had managed to mobilize that energy to a very high level.
And the more tense and exciting the scene, the more powerful the lightning strike will be.
"Master, you should get out of the way first. If this guy comes out and attacks us again, I will definitely have to fight him!"
It's possible that I can even draw some energy from this painting!
At this moment, Lei Jijian spoke with a gambler's tone.
I shrugged. Whether the mural could give him energy was another matter; what I was thinking about now was how to get out.
But the problem is, if we don't solve this ancient problem, it seems we'll be stuck here forever.
As I watched the ancient man's facial expression gradually become ferocious, I quickly took two steps toward Yiyi and pulled her back.
This palace is now quite large. If the ancients were chasing us at the speed of a punch, it would be better for us to move further away.
As I walked backward, my eyes remained fixed on the mural.
At this point, I noticed that not only the ancient person, but also the legs of the other characters were starting to show some abnormalities!
There was only one person just now, and the others were all gathered together. Even if they made any movements, they were all on their upper bodies.
Due to the limitations of the artwork, their feet are basically fixed in place.
The legs that were originally covered by long trousers of the ancients suddenly cracked open with a bang the next second.
The gap lay across the painting, and then it stopped following the ancient figure's movements.
Okay, so that's probably how the crack formed. I understand now!
I thought to myself, and then I noticed that the ancient man's calf muscles were also pushing the fabric open!
He stomped his toes hard on the ground, landing entirely inside the palace, not in the murals!
Holy crap, the feet are showing!
The moment he stepped down, I noticed that the stone slab had developed tiny cracks.
Not only that, this ancient figure, who originally looked quite small, is actually tall in the painting.
When he first reached out, his arm and fist were disproportionately large compared to his original physique.
It's like a tiny person suddenly throwing a huge punch.
This is probably why Lei Jijian and I didn't take him seriously at first.
I even thought this person was just a trap set for us by Blue Armor, and I didn't have any conscious intentions.
But now it seems I can no longer underestimate him!
As he stepped down, the man's height actually increased!
The body, which was originally perfectly proportioned to the painting on the stone wall, now had its head almost touching the ceiling of the palace's secret chamber!
Okay, the ceiling was supposed to be lower anyway.
Even I felt that what I was seeing was the image of a coffin.
Now there's another person like that coming out!
A surge of emotions welled up inside me...
This is just too outrageous!
The next second, the back of his head slammed into the beam of the secret room, and the dirt and debris fell down like rain.
But the ancient man seemed completely oblivious, slowly turning his neck from a tilted position to face us directly, and his head was fully exposed.
His ferocious expression instantly transformed from rage to viciousness!
It stared at us intently, as if it hadn't eaten for centuries...
"Brother...this is hardly the image of a scholar..."
Yiyi was speaking from the side, her voice trembling slightly.
Even though we were quite a distance away from the mural, I could still sense subtle changes in the person's face.
The person's face seems exceptionally clear.
As I watched its muscles bulge, it suddenly dawned on me that if it were this body, combined with its current methods, it could have thrown me and the girl more than five meters away.
