The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 167 - Dealing With The Stone Statues

"Everyone, we can leave now. " Qin Feng smiled and said after destroying the stone statues.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girls who were trapped in the formation all revealed joyful expressions. They had been trapped for too long. Now that the stone statues were dealt with, they were finally free.

Right at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard from the ground above the huge rock formation. The shattered Stone Statues were revived at an incredible speed. What was more, these stone statues increased and their strength was almost equal to an Elementary Stage Battle Spirit Saint Realm martial warrior.

Everyone was startled. The joy in their eyes faded and a look of despair appeared on their faces once again.

Qin Feng also frowned.. He never thought that these strange Stone Statues would actually change the difficulty according to the strength of the person who entered the array.

"Let's force our way out!"

When Miss Xia saw this scene, she first pursed her lips tightly and as if she made a decision, she shouted. She took the lead and rushed towards the outer perimeter of the formation. The other two women immediately covered each other as they followed behind Miss Xia.

However, the stone statues were located at the edge of the formation. Because of the increase in their strength, they immediately blocked the escape path of the three women halfway.

After a short moment of direct confrontation, the three women had no choice but to retreat.

"They are too difficult to deal with." Qin Feng frowned as he looked at the exhausted women and the stone statues coming at him from all directions. He was very unhappy. He coolly entered the formation and destroyed the stone statues but they were again revived by the formation below.

Wasn't this sincerely making him lose face in front of three beautiful girls?

With his strength, it wasn't difficult for him to kill his way out of the encirclement of these stone statues. However, since he entered the formation to save the three women, he could not back down now.

"Yue, I'll block these stone statues, you guys can leave."

At this time, one of the three women said Miss Xia to leave with others in a sorrowful voice. It was clear that she was scared as everyone could hear her trembling voice. But in this situation, she came forward to sacrifice herself in order to let others out, this courage alone was worthy of everyone's respect.

They had already decided to give up. These stone statues were enough to trap them and prevent them from escaping, what was more, because of the formation, they would revive even after being destroyed. The difficulty was overcoming the dangerous situation they were in was very high.

"No!"

Miss Xia whose real name was Xia Baiyue shook her head and said firmly, "We will leave together. I will not give up on you."

Just as the girl who spoke earlier was about to persuade Xia Baiyue again, a stone statue came to her side. A huge stone sword rushed towards her waist. Its terrifying pressure brought along a despairing sense of death.

But in the next moment, the stone statue's head exploded. A raging power surged out and a stunning sword light slashed out, directly shattering the stone statue's head.

The stone statue's head was sent flying out of the formation. As for the rest of the body, it was absorbed by the formation. After that, it started reviving somewhere else.

The woman looked at the stone statue's head being sent flying in surprise. After that, she saw Qin Feng holding the sword with one hand and emitting an overbearing aura.

"Don't give up so soon. This formation might not be unbreakable. It's just that we haven't found a suitable method to solve the problem yet." Qin Feng looked at the woman who talked about sacrificing herself to let others out and said.

"You have a way?" Xia Baiyue turned her head and looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng answered, "I don't have right now. I'm observing the formation, wait for a few moments."

He hoped to gain the knowledge of formation from his previous life just like the knowledge of alchemy but to his disappointment, no new information appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, the stone statue which was destroyed by Qin Feng and was reviving at a different spot finally completed its revival and came back to life. Qin Feng observed its body and then looked at the head far away. Suddenly, as if he thought something, Qin Feng's eyes lit up.

"I found it. I know what to do!" Qin Feng laughed and said.

"You found the way to break this formation?" Xia Baiyue asked in surprise.

"No!" Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I didn't find a way to break the formation but I did find a way to deal with these stone statues. As long as we can deal with these stone statues, we can go out of the formation!"

"Really? Hurry and tell us!" Xia Baiyue said happily.

"Do you see that stone statue?" Qin Feng pointed at the stone statue that has just revived and asked, "Can you tell me what is different in that stone statue from other stone statues?"

Hearing Qin Feng's question, the three ladies started carefully observing the stone statues pointed by Qin Feng.

After a careful observation, one of the three ladies' eyes lit up as she could not help but happily say, "This stone statue is a little smaller than other stone statues. What is going on?"

"That is because when I defeated it earlier, its head was sent flying out of the formation. The head didn't land on the formation below. Therefore, when the formation revived the stone statue, it was missing a portion of the materials. Its size and strength had been weakened by quite a bit."

Qin Feng again pointed at the head of the stone statue and then pointed at the shorter stone statue before explaining everything.

As soon as his voice faded, everyone was pleasantly surprised as a method to deal with these stone statues appeared in their mind.

As expected, Qin Feng said the same thing that was in their mind. He said, "As long as we can defeat the stone statue and don't let its body return to the formation on the ground, it would not be able to revive. This way, we can easily deal with these stone statues. Remember, after defeating the stone Statue, throw its body outside the formation."

"Good idea!" The beautiful eyes of the three ladies lit up. They looked at Qin Feng with admiration in their eyes.

Everyone started doing the same thing that Qin Feng told them to do.

Xia Baiyue had already tried. The long sword in her hand flew up and down. A few sword lights flashed and she cut off the hands and legs of a stone statue. Before the body parts of the stone statues fell to the ground and disappear in the formation, Xia Baiyue jumped up and kicked these stones out of the formation.

After the stone statue lost most of its body parts and died, its remaining part returned to the formation. When it revived, its body had become extremely tiny and it no longer had its previous strength.

"It really worked!" When the girls saw this, they were overjoyed. After that, they began to move.

In just a short while, a mountain of huge rock fragments appeared around the formation. These were all removed from the stone statue's body. After these rock fragments were thrown outside the formation, the parts of the body no longer disappeared. Instead, they were like ordinary huge rocks, losing their spirituality and vitality.

Within the formation, the strength of those stone statues was constantly being weakened. The number of stone statues that were revived was getting lesser and lesser. The remaining few stone statues' auras were also dropping continuously. They gradually became like ordinary stone statues and lost the threat they posed to everyone.

"So there is such a way to solve this problem. This is really satisfying."

All the girls felt great in their hearts. Previously, they were trapped in this place and they were only thinking about how to bypass these stone statues. They only thought about how to escape, not how to break the formation or how to deal with the stone statues.

During the battle, even if they occasionally struck some of the stone statues' bodies out of the formation, no one would have the leisure to notice the details of the changes, which was why they were unable to break free.

As more and more stone statues' body parts were being thrown outside the formation, gradually, the number of the stone statues inside the formation became lesser than five.

Not to mention Qin Feng and Xia Baiyue, even the other two girls could escape at any time. But no one wanted to leave. They were still staying in the formation, massacring the stone statues.
