Then small pieces of debris began to fall from Ji Huaichuan's head, and Zhang Qiling pulled Ji Huaichuan back.
Ji Huaichuan then saw that the sculpture that had been standing there had become a living bird with a human face...
"run!"
I don't know who shouted, but several people rushed out and I could still hear the fat man's shouting.
"Damn it, how come this thing is still alive!"
"Stop talking and run!"
"They're catching up!"
The scene was quite chaotic for a while. Ji Huaichuan was being pulled by Zhang Qiling, and the human-faced bird was also chasing them. It swooped down towards Ji Huaichuan, and Ji Huaichuan was pressed to the ground by Zhang Qiling to avoid the attack.
Unexpectedly, the human-faced bird was very agile. It circled in the air and flew towards them again. Zhang Qiling let go of Ji Huaichuan and drew out the black gold ancient sword to chop at the human-faced bird. The human-faced bird dodged sideways and attacked Zhang Qiling again.
The knife scratched across the leaves, and a few feathers fell off, with some blood on them. The top of the human-faced bird's head was mostly bald, and it seemed to be very angry. It screamed and flew away with its wings flapping.
Zhang Qiling then put away his knife and went to look for Ji Huaichuan. When he returned to the place, he found that Ji Huaichuan was gone. Zhang Qiling frowned and looked around. There were no signs of fighting. Then he saw a piece of cloth on the branch of a tree. It was the fabric of Ji Huaichuan's clothes.
He was arrested again... Why do they always arrest him alone...
Zhang Qiling collected the scraps of cloth and put them in his pocket, pressing them with his hand. A dark handprint was left on his clothes. After making sure they were safely put away, he went to look for Wuxie and the others, as several people had gotten separated in the chaos.
Wuxie and Fatty and their group ran to an open space. The surroundings were extremely quiet, so several people stopped to catch their breath.
"Where are the brothers?"
"I don't know, maybe we got lost." The fat man collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath. He felt like he had put all the exercise he had done in the whole year into this day.
"How come the human-faced bird is alive?" the fat man was very curious.
"I don't know, maybe I encountered some kind of trap..." Wuxie said while bending over and supporting his knees, panting.
"Look, there are statues of human-faced birds here." Aning walked closer to a statue, observed it, and took a few photos.
"Miss Aning, stay away from that thing, be careful or it might come back to life!" said the fat man.
Wuxie approached Aning curiously and looked at the statues. He found patterns on them. "Fatty, come here quickly. I've found something!"
Pan Zi scraped at it with his dagger, revealing a larger area of the pattern. Fatty, who had just come over, took a closer look and pointed, saying, "This... should be where the statue is. This should be the passage we're in."
"Yes, there are these people, they should represent us, and there are people beating drums, it seems like some kind of ritual scene." Wuxie said.
Aning looked up and said, "Stone statues like this are no longer seen nowadays. If the information on them still existed, they would be even more valuable."
The fat man became interested when he heard it, "Is this thing valuable?"
Aning was speechless and said, "I said it has value, but I didn't say it's worth money."
The fat man immediately stopped thinking about it and was thinking about going back to tell Boss Shen and asking him to find someone to lift it. It would not be bad to split it in half then.
There are six or seven more statues like this, all facing each other in pairs, but the contents painted on them are different. Wuxie and his friends walked all the way back, stopping to look at each one they saw, and Aning also took a lot of photos.
"Hey, Aning, can you please send me a few of these photos?"
It turned out to be Fatty. He hadn't given up on the idea yet. Aning glanced at him and said, "Okay, but I can only give it to you after we get out."
The fat man was happy and said, "Okay!"
"Wait! Don't you think it's too quiet here?" Pan Zi reminded.
The area was eerily quiet along the way, which forced Wuxie and the others to be cautious. The fat man picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them forward to explore the way, but there was no movement.
The fat man stood up with a serious expression and looked at Wuxie, "It's really too quiet."
"That's right, this is a rainforest. How is it possible that there is not even a bird singing? This is not normal. Let's leave quickly and go find Brother and Xiaochuaner and the others." Wuxie said.
Several people nodded in agreement with this idea. "I'll go ahead and scout the way. If there's nothing else, you guys can follow me," said Pan Zi.
"I'll go with you." The fat man also followed Pan Zi away.
Now only Wuxie and Aning were left. They looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Wuxie blushed when Aning stared at him. He turned around, scratched his hair, and pretended to cough twice. Aning sneered and looked away.
"Master San, let's go!"
Pan Zi's timely voice just eased Wuxie's embarrassment, "Let's go." He said to Aning, and then walked forward.
Along the way, we encountered several animal carcasses, some of which had been dead for a long time, and some of which had died not long ago.
The fat man gestured as he walked and analyzed, "In my opinion, this place is most likely a hunting ground of the Queen Mother of the West, specially used to help the Queen Mother of the West hunt. This Queen Mother of the West might have mastered some high-end hunting techniques that can kill lives invisibly!" His tone was mysterious, and he spoke as if it were true.
"Fatty, stop talking..." Wu Xie hadn't finished his words when he saw the bushes not far away swaying back and forth, as if there was something there.
"Hiss... Could it be that the human-faced bird is chasing us again?" The fat man gasped.
…
"Sisters, why do you keep bothering me?"
Ji Huaichuan sat in the upper seat, supporting his head with one hand, crossing his legs, his feet swinging back and forth, looking very nonchalant.
There were several beautiful sisters standing below him, they were Dong Shuangcheng and Xuannv.
"Your Highness, it's obvious that Zhang is a person who is restless and likes to run around everywhere. She is beautiful, but you must not be deceived by her!" The speaker was Ji Weirong, who, like Dong Shuangcheng, was also a personal maid of the Queen Mother of the West.

"Yes, and the Zhang family is just a family of tomb keepers for generations, but you are a legitimate royal family!" Dong Shuangcheng looked at him with a worried look on his face.
Xuannv also lowered her brows, leaned against the stone pillar and looked at him without saying a word. However, the shuriken was almost scraped off by her.
Ji Huaichuan held his forehead with his hand. He felt a little stressed. The current scene was like the ministers forcing the emperor to abdicate, asking why their emperor had been bewitched by the beauty who brought disaster upon him. But in his case, it might be the man who brought disaster upon him.
