HUFF...
As he stepped into the plaza, his foot left a deep print. It seemed no one had been here for a very long time, judging by the thick layer of dust.
Once inside the plaza, Shen Haoran moved forward cautiously, his eyes glued to the sixteen enormous stone statues.
Only when Shen Haoran drew close to the statues did he feel the piercing, baleful aura they emanated. The aura was so dense it was nearly tangible, and it shook his Heart Spirit to its core.
However, Shen Haoran noticed the statues showed no signs of movement. Emboldened, he continued forward.
MOAN...
A cold wind whistled through the jagged stone forest, creating an eerie, hair-raising sound. Shen Haoran's solitary figure moved slowly between the sixteen enormous stone statues, his nerves stretched taut as he watched for any change in his surroundings.
Yet, even when Shen Haoran reached the center of the plaza, the statues remained perfectly still, as if they were nothing more than decorations.
