I don’t know if it’s a monster, a doll, or something else, but I can only give a two-word evaluation of its strength: powerful.

When Team Zhou and I team up, we are no match for the statue.

It has almost invincible physical defense, strength and speed, and can create energy shocks like water waves.

All in all, it's very powerful and difficult to handle.

If it hadn't stopped automatically at 8 o'clock, I'm afraid Captain Zhou and I would have been seriously injured or even killed."

"Everyone has heard about the current situation. What we need to confirm now is what this statue is.

What is its action mechanism?

The current speculation of our 5th team is that the movement of the statue may be related to sunlight.

Only in the light state can it move freely.

So when the time reaches 8 o'clock, it stops when the sun sets.

We also knocked on the statue again just now, but there was no response, so we speculated whether it will become active again when the sun comes out tomorrow morning.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, our team 5’s suggestion is to find a way to break the statue at night.”

"I agree with Team Zhou's idea." Bai Jing was the first to express her stance.

"Since Captain Bai has the same idea, why not act now?"

"good."

Some people were left on guard at the bonfire camp, while others walked towards the statue in the center of the square pool.

It was already 9 o'clock in the night, and logically speaking, we should not continue to act so late.

But both Bai Jing and Zhou Jie agreed that if the statue wakes up during the day, its threat will be more terrifying than at night.

Xu Le digested the information Bai Jing and Zhou Jie said before.

When Zhou Jie mentioned sunlight and the state of light, Xu Le subconsciously thought of the bright spider he encountered during the day.

Weirdness does not only blend into darkness, it may also blend into light.

The bright spider can be completely invisible in the light, so this statue may also need the power of light to gain power.

Both scenarios are possible.

"Forget it, let's go and take a look."

When he came to the statue in the square, Xu Le looked at the statue.

【An ordinary statue】

Xu Le:……

"If this is really an ordinary statue, do I still need to emphasize that I am an ordinary statue? Take off your pants and fart."

But while Xu Le was complaining, he also saw words engraved on the arm of the statue.

[Welcome to Baixia Town - Bai Gui]

"Is this Bai Gui the name of a person? The mayor?"

While Xu Le was observing the statue, others also observed that the statue was just an ordinary statue and had no intention of moving.

After everyone gained nothing, Bai Jing looked at Gan.

"Gan, what do you say?"

“If it’s just a doll, that’s okay, but if it’s something weird, the risk of divination is too great.

My advice is to just destroy it."

Gan's answer made Team 5 a little disappointed. If the statue was really that easy to destroy, they would have smashed it long ago and wouldn't have kept it until now.

Originally, I wanted the Red Moon Warlock to do a divination, but now it seems that Gan has no intention of taking action.

Xu Le also breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that this kind of divination was inappropriate.

It seems that Teacher Gan is still very sober and has not taken risks because of some insignificant expectations.

"In this case, let's continue trying to destroy it by force."

What followed was repeated sabotage by force.

From the most basic chopping with knives and axes, to bullet shooting, to bomb blasting, until the last two disaster warlocks laid ice and covered fire, trying to destroy by alternating hot and cold methods, but in the end there was no result.

The statue was motionless, not even a trace.

Bai Jing and Zhou Jie also tried to lift it up and move it away, but the soles of its feet seemed to be connected to the earth, tightly fitting together and unable to be lifted up at all.

"Is there nothing we can do?"

While Bai Jing was pondering, Gan on the side quietly spoke:

"How about letting Gu Beichen and Gu Jianuo come over and give it a try.

Gu Beichen has mastered the power of the ice element, while Gu Jianuo is a level 3 alchemist. Alchemists often encounter problems with dolls or puppets at work, so it might be useful to have her come over."

Bai Jing nodded slightly, feeling that what Gan said made sense.

But Gu Beichen's condition was really bad, and the effects of the Disaster Warlock had been tested.

It might make some sense to call him at this time, but it doesn't mean much.

Gu Jianuo was really capable. She said to Wang Shu on the side:

"Wang Shu, go and invite Miss Gu Jianuo."

"yes."

…

On the other side, Gu Jianuo, who was in a daze by the campfire, was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. She stood up slightly surprised.

"Is it you? What do you want from me?"

"Can we talk?"

The person coming was Gu Beichen. Gu Jianuo's eyes flickered slightly. From the previous conversation, she had already guessed the relationship between Gu Beichen and Li Shunliu.

So now, she became a little hesitant.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"There's something about Shun... there's something about Li Shunliu."

"Xu Le and Captain Bai should have told you these things."

Gu Jianuo looked a little nervous, her eyes were looking at the ground, and she was still moving.

Gu Beichen suddenly pulled her up:

"I want to know the truth during the day."

With a hint of hidden anger in his cold eyes, Gu Jianuo looked at him, his lips trembling a little.

Under Gu Beichen's questioning and direct gaze, she lowered her head:

"Li Shunliu wanted to kill me, but Xu Le and Wang Shu stopped him."

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Beichen's breathing began to tremble.

He took a deep breath and wanted to ask other things, but Wang Shu suddenly came over:

"Beichen, what are you doing? Let her go."

Hearing Wang Shu's voice, Gu Jianuo looked at Wang Shu as if asking for help, and Gu Beichen also looked at Wang Shu and let go of his hand.

"snort."

Gu Jianuo rubbed his wrist and quickly walked behind Wang Shu.

"Does Captain Bai have something to do with me? Let's go."

Gu Jianuo seemed to want to leave here, perhaps because he wanted to leave Gu Beichen, while Wang Shu made a calm gesture.

"Beichen, please complete your mission first. I know you really want to know the truth. I will tell you everything when I get back."

"knew."

Gu Beichen's voice was cold. The truth? He had already got the answer, although the answer was not what he wanted.

He squatted in front of the bonfire again, and the firelight illuminated his shadow.

Gu Beichen looked straight at the fire, unable to tell what he was thinking.

His shadow gradually lengthened and turned into the shape of a woman, and the woman made a voice to him.

"Beichen, I'm sorry..."

"Yes? Shunliu?"

Gu Beichen looked back and saw nothing.

He buried his face in his arms again and sighed deeply until he felt a pair of delicate hands fall on his shoulders.
