1638 Giant Rock Statue

Just beside the canyon leading to the secret place of the old dean Shura, there appeared a huge valley.

Inside it, dozens of giant rock statues stood at the bottom of the valley. There were many brown goblins on their huge bodies, busy with quite delicate tools.

The members of the team led by Raymond were all above the seventh level, so they were noticed by the brown goblins from a distance, causing some commotion and anxiety.

However, the old dean Shura was in the valley before. After pacifying the brown goblins, he came over and led Raymond into the sky above the valley and pointed at the giant rock statues and spoke. "Raymond, how about these giant rock puppets?"

"Puppets? Can they be controlled?"

Raymond's surprise made the old dean Shura even happier. After taking him to stand on the shoulders of a giant rock statue holding a sword in both hands, he smiled. "Yes, this is the biggest secret of Kelan Hill. It took me hundreds of years to finally obtain the method of controlling it, so even the goblin craftsmen from the underground plane were summoned to clean and repair them..."

Before entering Kelan Hill, Raymond had observed these giant rock statues up close. At that time, he thought that these giant rock statues were excavated from the mountain and finally carved. However, under the busyness of those brown goblins, the shells of these giant rock statues were cleverly opened, making the inside like a precision instrument, completely exposed.

There are countless stone gears of different sizes, the largest diameter is more than five meters, and the smallest is only the size of a palm. These gears of different shapes and sizes are connected through the axis at the center. Although all the giant rock statues are currently stationary, based on their size alone, the power they have after starting must be quite shocking.

However, Raymond still has some doubts about the strength of this kind of puppet. "How strong are they after activation?"

"They have a very high probability of being immune to magic. Only pure power can defeat them. They are high-level stone puppets left over from ancient times. The manufacturing method has long been lost..."

Raymond's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'magic immunity'. Although ordinary giant rock people have powerful strength, they only have a very low probability of being immune to magic. If these giant rock statues in front of them have a very high probability of being immune to magic, then their strength is obviously immediately improved by several levels!

Seeing Raymond's surprised expression, the more proud old dean Shura signaled to follow, and took Raymond to a giant rock statue with its entire chest cavity opened, and then continued. "The outer shell of its body is three meters thick, and wizards of the Dawn level cannot cause any damage to it at all, but they do not enter water and swamps. They can avoid the loss of mobility caused by their heavy bodies, so they are not only the main force of attacking, but also can be used as a kind of defensive force..."

Raymond, who heard this, also guessed the intention of the old dean Shura. "Use their characteristics to destroy the Sith stronghold?"

"The desert beasts on the surface that were originally most suitable for siege were almost extinct in the previous battle, so their tribe has fled to the northwest desert and will no longer participate. These giant rock statues will become an important force to remove the Sith stronghold!"

Raymond, who released his perception to check these giant rock statues, soon found that there was no material with energy fluctuations inside their bodies except those gears, and he didn't know the principles and rules of their operation, so he continued to ask the old dean Shura for the reason.

While checking the progress of the work of the brown goblins, the old dean Shura explained that in the introduction of these giant rock statues, she didn't know the secret of these giant rock statues at first, but after the independent space was placed, she realized the secret of these giant rock statues because of some strange resonance.

"The low-level souls captured from the underworld can enter their bodies and continue to survive. After discovering some of the principles of their construction during research, I was sure that all these giant rock statues could be activated, but the energy they needed did not exist in the wizard plane. Instead, they needed to be placed in a kind of brown stone from the underworld to enable their actions and be controlled." At the end, the old dean Shura took out a piece of sealed brown ore. He handed it over and said. "It's a pity that such brown stone is too rare, so these giant rock statues have never been able to function before. And the extremely rich dark energy contained in the brown stone. It seems that only by controlling the souls of the underworld to enter the giant rock statues first, and then through these low-level souls to make the giant rock statues execute relevant instructions, it feels like a special catalytic device..." Raymond, who took the brown stone and explored it a little, also noticed the strangeness of this ore at this time. Similar to the Mian Mineral Stone that can store phantom smoke, this thicker brown stone also has a sponge-like structure inside, but the dark energy accumulated inside has crystallized, causing the total amount it can store to far exceed that of ordinary ores.

When Raymond was in the Netherworld before, he had obtained a lot of brown stone from the village of Phantom Butterfly Jima, so he was surprised when he handed it back. "Old Dean, is this kind of brown stone difficult to obtain? Or is the amount required for each giant rock statue too large?"

"It is naturally very difficult to obtain brown-veined stones, but as long as we can gather ten pieces of this size, we can give this giant rock statue a week of action time..."

But when the old dean Xiula said this, she widened her eyes, because the number of brown-veined stones that Raymond took out was not only quite large, but also the volume of each piece was much larger than the sample she had provided before, which made her voice lower and lower, and she seemed a little annoyed for no reason.

Seeing the old dean Xiula like this, Raymond couldn't help but laugh. "These are obtained from the underworld, but because I have never paid attention to them, I threw them all into the storage ring. Since you need them here, I will give them to you first?"

Seeing Raymond say this, the old dean Xiula, who was slightly relieved, stretched his face, and slowed down his voice after putting away the brown-veined stones. "That's natural! Don't think you can be proud just because you have been promoted to the eighth level! Hongze Wetland is always a place to teach you..."

Raymond, who has always been grateful to the old dean Xiula, did not care about her tone and asked with a smile. "Has the underground plane been invaded by the Sith?"

"The Sith once entered, but it seems that they have no intention of the underground plane. After sweeping a swamp in the southwest corner, they all withdrew overnight..."

"Does the underground plane not have the materials needed by the Sith?"

"It's hard to say. At that time, in order to resist the expansion of the Sith in the underground world, the war zone wizards who were drawn from the three major defense lines to intercept them were found after arriving at the swamp area that the base established by the Sith seemed to have suffered strong corrosion. It took only dozens of days to cause holes in its outer layer..."

Hearing this, Raymond's heart moved, and he told everything he found after he broke through the small Sith base before, and asked solemnly after the shocked old dean Shura digested it. "What is the environment in the swamp area like? Is there free energy that is completely different from the surface world?"

"It should be similar. You also know the situation underground. In addition to the lack of sunlight, the dust concentration of various luminous plants in the environment is relatively high. There is nothing special about it..."

"If there is nothing special, why is the base of the Sith tribe severely corroded? The base was built not long ago, right?"

Raymond's questioning finally made the old dean Shura realize something was wrong. After thinking for a while, he said. "Yes, I really didn't pay attention to it before. The building materials of the Sith tribe are quite unique. They are not built with local materials. It seems that I need to learn more about the situation..." (To be continued ~^~)
