Chapter 518: The Movable and the Immobile
"Stone……"
Lindsay sighed.
He was now beginning to feel grateful that he had been careful enough to pack Wala Wala and Alazon into the shop and take them with him when he set out.
Otherwise, leave them above and face these dangers...
How could two petrified humans resist?
Immediately, Lindsay held up the long sword surrounded by flames in his hand. He turned over and jumped out of the hole he had just dug:
"Isn't it just fighting..."
"Lindsay, why are you here?"
"No, how come you weren't petrified? Are you okay?"
"..."
After Lindsay jumped out, she was stunned on the spot.
The flaming sword in his hand also went out immediately.
Because what appeared in front of him was not the enemy controlled by the abyss whale as expected, but an 'old acquaintance' that he had been quite familiar with in the past few weeks.
Those guard stone statues on the streets of the City of Thousand Sails, tasked with protecting the city!
"You...even you were dragged here."
Lindsay suddenly understood.
Human beings can be dragged into psychedelic dreams, and naturally some of these stone statues have been unlucky enough to end up here.
At the same time, these stone statues greeting Lindsay also gathered.
It goes without saying that they have a good impression of humans, especially Lindsay who has a good relationship with them.
One of the tall and thin stone statues answered Lindsay's question:
"Lindsay, on the first night of the festival, we were still patrolling the streets, and we were suddenly dragged here."
Another short little stone statue was very emotional:
"By the way, Lindsay come with us and take a look!"
"Many humans here have turned into stone. They can't move at all. We don't know what to do with them?"
Lindsay hurried over followed by several stone statues.
It's in a mountain col not far away.
Hundreds of lifelike human statues are placed here, and there are many stone statues guarding them around.
It's obvious - these people, like the Vala Vala two, are all affected by the power of the abyss whale Zoroa.
Only Lindsay escaped with the power of the magic pattern.
"..."
Lindsay watched the scene in front of her in silence.
The stone statues empowered by humans move normally here; the humans themselves turn into stone statues and are unable to move.
This is quite a strange scene.
Lindsay asked the small stone statue next to her:
"Did they behave like this when you were at the bottom of the sea?"
The short stone statue nodded:
"The huge whirlpool on the bottom of the sea sucked everyone close to it, making it impossible to escape."
"Well! Everyone we can find is here now!"
"..."
"!!!"
Hearing the word 'all', Lindsay's eyes suddenly became excited.
As he moved forward, he greeted the other stone statues.
But more attention and sight fell on the large number of human statues nearby.
Everyone is here!
However, after taking a brief look around, Lindsay did not see any familiar figure inside.
He was a little disappointed, but it was reasonable.
With a hint of luck, Lindsay continued to ask the stone statue next to her:
"Have you seen Wala Wala here?"
"Wala Walla is here too?" The stone statues looked at each other, and finally someone replied, "No one has seen Walla Walla. If she is here too, we will definitely put her in the best position to protect her!"
"..."
Lindsay then gave up.
He sighed and stated the current situation to the surrounding stone statues:
"The island under our feet should be Zoroa, the abyssal whale in the play. You must have heard his story, right?"
Sure enough, someone had heard of the stone statue, but then doubts arose:
"The Abyssal Whale, isn't that just a character in a story written by humans?"
The stone statue on the side immediately cursed:
"Are you stupid? We were carved by others!"
The scolded statue praised its companion:
"That's right, you are really smart!"
"Did the sculptor be particularly careful when he was making your head? Did he add a few more knives?"
Seeing a few stone statues, it was time to discuss works of art.
Lindsay quickly interrupted:
"Everyone, anyway, we are in trouble now."
"Not to mention escaping from this psychedelic dream - now all humans are petrified. If we want to free them, we must kill the whale under our feet."
Lindsay added:
"By the way, I just dug a hole outside."
"But this whale's body recovers very quickly, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get directly into it."
The stone statues were silent for a moment, and then a heated discussion broke out:
"In this case, we can only follow the method in the script, get into its body, and pierce its heart!"
"Are you stupid? Have you seen that play?"
"The belly of the whale is full of venom that can digest humans. Lindsay is not a character in the play. He is protected by a treasure armor. I'm afraid he will be digested by the venom before he even passes through the mouth!"
"..."
The stone statue began to help discuss tactics, and Lindsay was happy to see the results.
After all, strictly speaking, they are also locals from the City of Thousand Sails. It is much more suitable for him, an outsider, to discuss plot matters.
The effort of a few sentences.
Another stone statue next to him made a suggestion:
"Isn't there a hole on the back of this whale for blowing water and breathing? If we go in there, we should be able to reach its heart quickly!"
A tall and thin stone statue next to him retorted:
"Did you watch the play outside the theater?"
"The first time the protagonist climbed in through the blowhole, he woke up the sleeping whale and was rushed into the sky, almost falling to his death!"
A muscular man statue next to him also agreed:
"Yes, that place is very sensitive."
"As long as this giant whale wakes up and sprays out, everything will be sprayed out."
"Besides, if we wake it up at this time - we may still be able to escape from the sea, but these humans left on its back may be in trouble."
"..."
The stone statues discussed fiercely and were at a loss for a moment.
The method of attack stipulated in the script is to enter from the mouth. If Lindsay does this, he will face the threat of the abyss giant whale Soroya's dissolving fluid.
The venom is naturally designed to corrode life.
Without a treasure like the protagonist in the play, it is almost a dead end.
As for going down from the air vent on the back, the sensitive movement will wake up the beast, which will lead to bad consequences.
Snap——
At this time, Lindsay suddenly clapped his hands.
He attracted the attention of all the stone statues and said:
"So going in from its air vent can reach the heart directly."
"But in the process, because this beast is very sensitive, it may wake up at any time, which will destroy the plan."
"Isn't that right?"
The stone statues nodded one after another.
"That's right!"
"Lindsay, safety is important, let's think of other ways?"
"Or let's go in and try. The venom of this big guy may not corrode us stones?"
Lindsay shook his head at the stone statue who wanted to take the initiative to take risks.
Then, he said in a confident tone:
"Leave the task of going in and killing it to me! But at the same time, I need you to do me a small favor."
So, Lindsay took out his equipment from his bag again.
The glittering hammer shone in the sunlight that broke through the dark clouds.
