Chapter 551

Casio paused his climb, looked back at the statue, freed his left hand and pointed his middle finger fiercely at it, then continued to climb up, despite the statue swearing wildly and ignoring it.

Joan was the last one to climb up the bean vine, until he climbed a thousand feet above the ground, and the hysterical scolding of the statue could be faintly heard from below.

"Casio! You bastard, how dare you leave me behind! Just wait and see, I will make you regret it sooner or later!"

...

The rap statue cursed endlessly for two hours, and seemed to be bored, so he closed his mouth resentfully, looking no different from ordinary statues.

The mountains returned to silence, the sun gradually slanted westward, and the mist shrouded the night.

At this time, footsteps came from the forest opposite the mountain stream. A man in black robe with a staff came out first, followed by an orc warrior with long arms reaching his knees and a strange troll with nine heads.

"Lord Shaman, there are traces of a campfire here. It seems that someone camped here not long ago, probably Shrek and the others."

"It's better to be them, lest we make another trip in vain."

"Snake Hand" Sharman looked gloomy.

Ever since he lost the "Yeshhound", it has been difficult for him to track Joan and his party so easily. It took a lot of effort to find the trail of the four of them, and he went astray many times. Fortunately, he finally returned to the right track superior.

"Lord Shaman, the traces left in this area are very strange..."

"Tearer" Culkin walked along the river beach, carefully observing the traces on the surface. First, he found many large and small gullies on the surface, and then he saw trampled purple mushrooms, charred tree trunks, and a tree that went straight up. The green plants grew and didn't know how tall they were, and finally he saw a humanoid stone sculpture and a monster corpse covered with a hard carapace.

Along the way, the confusion in Culkin's eyes gradually deepened.

"This is the remains of the 'Screaming Fungus', this is... Huh? It's actually the corpse of an adult land shark! What the hell are Shrek and the others doing here!"

The orc chief scratched his head again and again, the chaotic and strange scene in front of him puzzled him.

"Hey... green-skinned man, do you need help? I can help you answer your questions."

The sudden sneer from behind startled Culkin and Sharman, and they both looked back at the stone statue that spoke suddenly.

"what are you!"

Culkin hated the insulting word "green skin", and glared at the statue with a gloomy face, his eyes suddenly became very subtle.

"Strange! Why do you look a bit like that crappy poet named Casio?"

"Bad poet? Hahaha! Green-skinned man, your evaluation of that bastard Casio couldn't be more appropriate!"

The statue gritted its teeth, with a face full of resentment.

"Tell me the truth, are you Casio's friend or his enemy."

Culkin didn't dare to answer without authorization, and turned his head to ask Shaman for instructions.

"We and Casio belong to the hostile camp, and we are tracking the whereabouts of the four of them." Shaman told the truth with a blank expression.

"Very good, this is very good..." The Gabby Statue showed a vengeful smile, "Let me tell you the truth, Casio and the others went to find a secret treasure. This is what Casio said and I heard it myself!"

Sharman and Culkin looked at each other, and then asked the statue: "Can you tell us which direction Casio and his party are going?"

"Yes, of course. But it's boring to say it directly, let's guess a riddle."

The statue has a mysterious face and a hoarse voice.

"It's not southeast, northwest, or deep into the earth. Come and guess, where did Casio go?"

Shaman squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the bean seedling that went straight to the sky, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in the depths of his eyes.

"Culkin, Scala, come with me!" Shaman strode towards the beans, and said firmly: "Casio and the others must have climbed up this huge beans, and the end of the beans is the treasure gate !"

Culkin nodded, and said in a low voice: "Lord Sharman, it's best to let Scala climb up to explore the road first. Once he has an immortal body, it doesn't matter even if he is in danger. What's more important is... I Don't worry about this beast following me."

"Afraid it will bite your ass?"

Shaman smiled knowingly, waved his hand and told the nine-headed troll to climb up the bean seedlings first, and then climbed up immediately.

Culkin was the last one, fastened his belt, held the bean vine with both hands, and was about to climb up, when suddenly the shout of the rap statue came from behind him.

"Wait a minute! Green-skinned man, don't forget to bring me! You just got valuable information from me, so don't be ungrateful!"

"ungrateful?"

The orc chief grinned ferociously, turned and walked towards the statue, his eyes showing murderous intent.

"No...don't come here!"

The statue has a premonition of danger, but the only thing that can move in its whole body is its mouth, and it can't move its legs even if it wants to escape, so it can only scream in vain for mercy.

"Ingratitude? Are you telling me ungratefulness? How dare you threaten me with a mere statue? Do you really think you are so great? Go to hell, idiot!"

Culkin smashed the head of the statue with a slap, and kicked it in the middle with a flying kick. Finally, he spat contemptuously on the rubble, turned back to the bean plant, and quickly climbed up.

...

When Sharman, Culkin, and Scala tracked down the river beach, Joan, Clark, Shrek, and Casio had already been climbing the thick bean vines all afternoon.

Finally, at the moment when their physical energy was about to be exhausted, the four of them entered the depths of the clouds and witnessed with their own eyes a magnificent spectacle they had never seen before in their lives.

As the bean vines stretched high into the sky, Qiao An and his party who climbed along the vines had to grit their teeth and overcome two major obstacles:

The temperature in the sky is getting lower and lower, and the airflow is getting stronger and stronger!

Clark is a frost giant who is not afraid of severe cold. Shrek and Casio are ogres and high-level ogres with strong physiques.

Counting the 4-point physical attribute bonus provided by the "gorgeous belt", Joan's physique can be called strong among ordinary people, but after all, it cannot compare with the gifted frost giants and ogres, and he was screamed when he climbed to the sky. The cold wind made his teeth chatter and his hands and feet were stiff.

He knew very well that he couldn't last long in such a harsh environment, so he paused climbing and freed up his hands to cast spells, bless himself with the 1-ring arcane "endurance environment" he learned from the scroll presented by Clark not long ago.

A burst of magical light was injected into Joan's chest through the fingertips, as if a warm current spread throughout the body, immediately dispelling the chill, and the almost frozen limbs quickly regained their vitality.

Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. He was glad that he had learned the spell of "endurance to the environment" in advance, which is specially used to deal with harsh weather, otherwise, he might have to bid farewell to this treasure hunt in advance.
