"Okay, then let's take the original path." Burry gave the order to everyone as the captain: "But we have to change the formation. Tedion, you stay at the end of the alert. Mark, you and Daphne, go to the front and be careful to protect Daphne’s safety.”
"Understood." Mark and Tedion answered together.
"Magic Ryan," Berry turned around and said to Ryan in a more polite tone: "The next step is up to you. I hope your magic can destroy those monsters."
"Okay," Ryan replied, "Just do your best!"
After a slight delay, the group started moving forward again. Mark carried a huge war hammer and followed Daphne closely, watching the surrounding movements vigilantly, while Dennis took Burry's original position and walked behind them. Bury let Ryan and Allen go in front of him, and he and Tedion were behind.
Soon, the group of people came to the door of the stone room where the Six Arrows Mercenary Group was defeated last time. Daphne's footsteps suddenly stopped and her body began to tremble. She seemed to see her lover Angus who died in battle again. That scene.
Mark is an impatient guy. He pulled Daphne away and strode in. The others also followed a few steps, passed Daphne, and entered the stone room one after another.
Bury sighed, and he gave Tedion a look, signaling him to take care of Daphne. The latter nodded slightly, stayed, and stood outside the door of the stone chamber with Daphne.
Bury entered the stone chamber, which was a very large stone chamber. The stone chamber was empty except for four pillars that could be surrounded by three or four people. Next to each pillar, there was a statue about two people tall.
Ryan and others who came in first did not go deep into the stone chamber. They all stood at the door and looked at the statues warily. After Berry walked in, he observed the situation here for a while. The place looked exactly the same as when they left last time, except that the blood stains left by Angus and Bob on the ground had changed from bright red to deep red.
When Ryan saw Berry walking in, he pointed to a monster statue with a ruby missing from its eye and asked, "Are those statues?"
Bury nodded solemnly. After Ryan got the affirmative answer, he carefully observed the stone statue closest to him, which was the one with a ruby missing from the eye. The whole body of the statue is pitch black, except for the rubies inlaid in its eyes.
Although Ryan learned a lot about how to make magic circles and magic items, his time was short and his knowledge was insufficient, so he could not identify what kind of material the statue was made of. Regardless, according to Bury, even sharp swords and arrows cannot harm it. It should be a very hard stone.
The stone statue is a standing half-man, half-animal guy. Its body is relatively long and narrow, its limbs are also very slender, and it has a pair of wings on its back, which looks very much like the wings of a bat. The monster has sharp claws and a thin, short tail. It looks very ugly.
The shapes of these four monster statues are different. Some have their front paws raised high in a flapping posture; some have enlarged mouths, as if they want to devour the creatures in front of them; some have folded wings on their backs, It wraps its entire upper body in it; the last one fully opens the wings on its back, as if it is flying.
Ryan observed for a while. From the time they entered the stone chamber to now, the four monster statues had not moved. If Burry had not told that his companion Angus died under their claws, Ryan would never think that these rock carvings Things can move, these four monsters are clearly some kind of strange decorations.
"Is it a gargoyle?" Dennis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Is there such a thing here?"
"Gargoyle?" Ryan heard Dennis talking to himself, and he asked curiously: "What is that?"
Dennis explained: "I have heard of this kind of thing. It is a strange creature that is given life by an evil magic and has a hard skin. Generally speaking, gargoyles are used to protect someone. some important places.”
Ryan thought for a while and said: "Isn't that very similar to the stone statue? Why is it said to be evil magic?"
Dennis said solemnly: "The stone statues made by magicians are mainly used to protect their own mage towers. Most of those stone statues are just powerful magic items with some autonomous consciousness. But the gargoyle in front of me is different. They are forcibly injected with the souls of humans or other creatures by evil mages, so usually these gargoyles will enter a dormant state until someone activates them."
Bury interjected: "I see, Bob must have removed the rubies that were the gargoyle eyes to activate these evil creatures."
"What should we do now?" Mark asked angrily, "Do you want me to smash the heads of those annoying guys?"
Dennis thought for a while and said: "Magic Ryan, please release a magic first and test it. See if it can cause any harm to them."
"Okay." Ryan agreed. He immediately recited a series of spells, and a ball of flame gathered in his hand, turning into a burning fireball and roaring towards the gargoyle closest to him.
"Boom!" The flames scattered, and the sound of the fireball exploding echoed in the huge stone chamber, making people's ears numb.
After the smoke dissipated, the hall returned to its original state, but it was slightly different from before. The gargoyle that was attacked by Ryan's fireball technique had a lot of cracks on its body, and there were also a lot of debris at its feet. I believe it It is a masterpiece of Ryan's fireball technique.
"Pu Chi, Pu Chi." The gargoyle that was standing still slowly flapped its wings, and it "came alive". The gargoyle's eyes glowed red and swept across the stone chamber.
When the red light swept across Ryan and others, the gargoyle found its target. It immediately floated in the air, flapped its wings and flew towards Ryan. However, it seems that Ryan's fireball spell caused considerable damage to it. The flying speed of this gargoyle is not as fast as an ordinary person walking.
"Damn it!" Mark roared angrily: "Come on, bastard, let me smash your head!" Mark picked up the war hammer in his hand and rushed towards the gargoyle.
"Bang!" A heavy impact sounded, and Mark hit the gargoyle with a hammer. Although the gargoyle wanted to dodge, its movements were very slow. It was hit by Mark and lost an arm. The gargoyle opened its mouth and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
