My face turned a little pale.
This stove is almost identical to the one I saw before, both in style and size.
"Brother Chen, what is this?"
Old Dao was probably seeing this for the first time. After the door was fully opened, he quickly asked me about it.
I stared at the stove, remaining silent for a long time before explaining it to Lao Dao.
I also told Lao Dao about my previous situation with Lao Luo.
"You mean Brother Luo has seen this thing too?" Old Dao's mouth dropped open after hearing that.
He never imagined that this furnace had so many origins.
"Could it be that it's not the same thing? After all, Brother Chen, you said that the original thing was taken out of the emperor's tomb."
And it seems rather odd that this thing should be here!
Old Dao tilted his head and began his analysis.
I nodded slightly; what Lao Dao said did make some sense.
The presence of such a furnace in this place is already very strange. If I'm not mistaken, this secret chamber was originally part of the temple.
In a strict sense, this is the real temple.
I grabbed Lao Dao's arm and walked straight in, right up to the stove.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that this stove did indeed have very subtle differences from the one I had seen before.
"Brother Chen, look! The markings on these are all about eagle owls!"
Old Dao, as if he had discovered a new continent, pointed directly at one of the marks and shouted.
I followed Lao Dao's gaze and, sure enough, there were patterns resembling eagle owls around the stove.
Although these patterns are small, they blend seamlessly with the stove.
I clearly remember that the one I saw last time didn't have this kind of thing.
"This should be a furnace unique to eagle owls! It's definitely not the Xuanpin Furnace that Brother Chen mentioned!"
Old Dao quickly spoke up.
I also fell into doubt; the two stoves were indeed too similar. If it weren't for the unique markings on them, I would really think they were the same thing.
Right now, I'm thinking how nice it would be if Luo Tianhe were here.
After all, I don't recognize this stove.
After Lao Dao and I entered the secret room, we found that in addition to the furnace, there was an even larger sculpture.
It is indeed a eagle owl, but compared to the sculptures I've seen before, this one is more lifelike and much larger.
The only flaw is that the body of the sculpture seems to have been corroded by something.
The sculpture's eyes are also tightly closed; the eyes are the soul of the eagle owl.
If you close your eyes, it means there's something wrong with this thing.
"Brother Chen, what should we do? We need to figure out a way to get out of here quickly, something feels off about this place!"
Old Dao had second thoughts after seeing this.
"Does looking at this sculpture give you the creeps?" I asked Lao Dao.
The eldest brother kept nodding.
"I think this is one of the reasons why the eagle owl opened! If I'm not mistaken, this sculpture is the real idol."
But he is now being corrupted by something!
I stared intently at the top of the statue, and I could definitely sense that the power emanating from it was being constantly corroded by something.
"So, Brother Chen, you mean to resolve the issue of the statue?"
Old Dao seemed to understand what I was thinking.
"Otherwise, do we have any other options?"
"If we don't resolve the issue with the statue, I'm afraid neither of us will be able to get out of here!"
After I finished speaking, I walked up to the statue and placed my hand on it. Sure enough, I could feel that the statue seemed to be asking me for help.
I closed my eyes and felt the power surging within the statue.
It's as if a new chapter has been added to my mind.
A part of the idol's will began to enter my mind. Of course, this was not possession, but rather the transmission of some kind of information.
"I see, I see!"
I opened my eyes, my voice slightly agitated.
Just as I guessed, the eagle owl disappeared because it suppressed something.
It was precisely because that thing was suppressed that his body was corroded.
The other party contacted me for help, and all I needed to do was help them resolve this problem.
"Perhaps it's fate, but if either of us is absent today, neither of us can do this!"
I smiled slightly, glancing at Lao Dao with a hint of malice.
Old Dao shuddered and quickly asked what was going on.
I told Lao Dao that when I touched the statue just now, it conveyed some information to me and told me how to solve the problem.
"Brother Chen, you mean you need my blood, right?"
Old Dao's mouth twitched, and he finally understood what I meant by "absence" earlier.
I nodded vigorously in response to him.
I obtained some useful information from my conversation with the statue, and I want to resolve the following issues completely.
First, you need the divine power of the eagle owl; second, you need golden blood.
Divine power is easy to replenish; we just walked through that long tunnel and absorbed that stuff.
As for the golden blood, that's even simpler; Old Knife's blood is just that kind of thing.
In other words, if either Lao Dao or I were missing today, we wouldn't be able to enter this place and help the statue solve its problem.
This must be some kind of preordained arrangement.
Old Dao had already prepared himself for this; after all, he had already drawn enough blood from me today.
"Is he going to make me fill this furnace? It's so big, it feels like it could eat me up!"
Old Dao glanced at the furnace in front of him, and his body trembled.
The thought of actually needing to fill this furnace is terrifying.
"No need. There are eagle owl marks on all eight sides of the furnace. Just smear your blood on these eight marks!"
Following the instructions I had given the statue, I taught Lao Dao how to do it step by step.
Old Dao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and quickly bit his middle finger, then followed my guidance to apply his blood to eight different spots.
"Step back a bit, it's my turn next!"
My eyes were filled with a cold glint. The real show was about to begin, and whether we could get out depended on me.
Old Dao probably sensed the importance of this mission, so he obediently stepped back to cheer me on.
I raised the newly formed Thunderstrike Sword, its power now even more terrifying than before.
Most importantly, it has acquired a kind of divinity.
These two words were what the sculptor told me when we were talking earlier.
Following the information the statue had given me, I arranged the talismans into a formation and stood in the center of the formation with the lightning sword in my hand.
A magical thing happened: the moment I stood in the middle, the statue couldn't help but tremble.
It looks like the thing being suppressed is about to break free.
