The lines on the statue shimmered in the moonlight, giving the collapsed statue a mysterious aura.
After the two stood up and walked towards the statue, they saw the lines on the ground bulging upwards, with a faint light flowing, as if there were some magical things contained inside.
They are no longer rookies in the apocalypse, and they know that the occurrence of such a situation in a dead and silent world must indicate something extraordinary.
Wei Mingxuan reached out and touched it. When his fingers touched the lines, he felt a slight numbness, as if there was an electric current contained in it.
"Brother Xuan, there seems to be light flashing under the base of that stone statue."
Just as Wei Mingxuan was studying these patterns, Yao Kexin noticed something unusual under another stone statue.
The two went to check again, and sure enough, there were similar patterns under the base of the statue as the previous ones. It also flickered faintly in the moonlight, and there was also a slight numbness when touched.
Seeing this, they hurried to check the third stone statue.
Sure enough, when I came to the collapsed stone statue, I also saw the patterns under the base.
"Brother Xuan, these lines definitely didn't appear here for no reason."
Yao Kexin opened her big watery eyes wide, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She hurriedly reached out to touch the base of the stone statue.
“The bottom of the base also has texture, and it’s recessed!”
The girl was a little excited, as if she had discovered some secret. She lay on the ground and entered the human-beast form.
The beast form has better night vision.
She carefully compared the lines on the bottom of the base with the lines on the ground beneath the statue. After a while, she said to Wei Mingxuan:
"Brother Xuan, the patterns on the statue and the ground are basically the same! It should be able to fit in!"
"Let's try it, maybe we can trigger some invisible mechanism!"
As she spoke, she clasped the edges of the statue with both hands and lifted it up with force.
Although the girl looks weak, she now has the strength of the second level and is very strong. If she were on Blue Star, she could easily lift a statue of this size.
But here, no one knew what this statue was made of, and she couldn't even shake it by herself!
"I'll do it!"
Seeing that she was struggling, Wei Mingxuan immediately stepped forward to help.
He also entered the human-beast form, grabbed the collapsed statue with both hands, and worked together with Yao Kexin to lift it up.
"Fuck, that's heavy!"
He was surprised at the weight of the statue: "What on earth is this thing made of? It's too heavy!"
"Although I'm not at the level of giant strength yet, I shouldn't be unable to lift a statue!"
They exerted all their strength, their veins bulged and their faces turned red, but they still couldn't lift it.
"No, Brother Xuan, I guess we need someone from the third level to do it!"
The girl loosened her hands and felt a little discouraged: "But there are not many of us in the third level, and most of them are in the boss's room. Do we have to disturb the boss?"
Wei Mingxuan was about to answer when he saw someone walk in from outside: "What are you two doing here instead of sleeping?"
Seeing this person, Wei Mingxuan's eyes lit up and he walked forward with a smile on his face: "Haha, Lao Zhou, we discovered a secret, come and help us!"
The person who came was Zhou Xingjian, who had the Bi'an fruit.
He has also entered the third level and has tremendous strength, much stronger than the two of them.
He is also the night watchman tonight.
"secret?"
In order to prevent his companions from getting into danger, Zhou Xingjian always maintained his human-animal form.
He is Bi'an, good at distinguishing right from wrong, and no one can lie to him.
So, he could tell at a glance that the secret Wei Mingxuan mentioned was true!
"What secret?"
At this time, he also became curious. At Wei Mingxuan's signal, he walked forward and saw the glowing patterns under the statue.
"Is this pattern the secret you mentioned?"
Wei Mingxuan nodded and said, "Yes, and there are also concave patterns on the base of the statue, which correspond exactly to the raised patterns on the ground! We guess that this statue was originally inserted!"
"It's just that the statue is heavy and we can't lift it, so we'll let you try."
Zhou Xingjian knew that every word Wei Mingxuan said was true, but he still reached under the stone statue and touched it, and found that it was true.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, I'll give it a try, but I've been ordered to keep watch, so I can't stay here too long. If it doesn't work after I try, I'll leave, and you guys should go back to bed early."
After saying this, he grabbed the concave part of the statue with both hands and lifted it up with force.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the statue was only lifted slightly and could not be lifted up.
"Not even you?"
Wei Mingxuan was shocked. Zhou Xingjian had already advanced to the third level of giant strength, but even he couldn't lift this statue?
There are not many people here who are stronger than Zhou Xingjian.
But whether it was Luo Qingyan or Xiaobai, their strength was not much greater than Zhou Xingjian.
If you want to lift the statue, I guess only Ao Xin can do it.
"I can't."
Zhou Xingjian untied his hands and shook his head: "I can't do it either. I guess I have to ask the boss for help."
Wei Mingxuan and Yao Kexin exchanged glances and said, "I'm going to find the boss!"
"Hey, Brother Xuan, let's report tomorrow. The boss is sleeping now!"
Yao Kexin hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and told him not to worry.
Wei Mingxuan pondered for a moment and said, "The patterns on the ground glow in the moonlight. If there really is some kind of mechanism, it's very likely that it only works at night. I'd better go and report it now!"
He smiled again and said, "I have a feeling this discovery will be very useful. Maybe it will directly achieve the contribution that the boss mentioned! Then we can be transferred back together!"
He glanced at Zhou Xingjian again, pondered for a moment, and then said to him, "You continue to patrol. I'll report to the boss!"
He originally thought that disturbing Ao Xin's sleep at this time might make Ao Xin angry, so it would be better for someone else to go.
However, Zhou Xingjian's relationship with Ao Xin was not as close as his and the boss's.
Moreover, if this discovery is really related to some opportunity, he would be the first to make the contribution by reporting it!
He quickly came to the iron house where Ao Xin lived, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked lightly a few times.
The sound of his knocking was not loud, but the sound of knocking on iron could be heard far away in the silent night.
All those who were sleeping were awakened at this moment.
"Well..."
He scratched his head, but the embarrassment only lasted for a moment, and he continued to stand at the door without changing his expression.
This is the vigilance honed in the last days.
Even if they are sleeping, the slightest noise can wake them up.
This is the capital for survival in the end times.
This is the result of them joining a powerful force and keeping each other warm. If they survived alone, they would be even more vigilant!
Therefore, except for some people with special abilities, there will be no lone wolves in the apocalypse!
With a creak, the iron gate opened and Ao Xin and others walked out.
A battle could break out at any time in the secret realm, and his sister, Xiaobai and others were next door, so it was impossible for him to release any extra energy here.
Therefore, they all slept with their clothes on and their weapons at hand, ready to go into battle at any time.
