The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1340 - Chapter 1340 Chapter 1340 The Stone Statue Opens Its Eyes

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: The Stone Statue Opens Its Eyes! Chapter 1340: Chapter 1340: The Stone Statue Opens Its Eyes! This fourth realm of the Slayer Heavenly Ten Realms was a grassland. Over the plains, oddly shaped stone statues were scattered everywhere, placed three steps apart and five steps with a post.

Huang Xiaolong and other Treasure Hunters moved through the groups of stone statues.

Their divine senses spread out like nets.

“We can now confirm that this fourth realm has no living creatures at all,” the Sword Immortal Emperor stated with certainty.

The Demon King Ku also nodded in agreement. “Yes, we’ve used our divine senses to carefully screen the area. There is no trace of life in this world.”

Huang Xiaolong gave a slight nod.

Earlier, Huang Xiaolong had also checked and found this world indeed devoid of life.

Not to mention creatures, there wasn’t even an insect.

Thus, the world was eerily quiet.

When the wind swept by, the rustling sound on the prairie seemed like whispers of devils.

“It’s eerily quiet,” the Ninth Princess frowned.

“It’s impossible there are no creatures,” the Third Crown Prince declared resolutely. “Otherwise, how would we obtain the key to the fifth realm?”

“It must be another trap set up by the Slayer Heavenly Immortal Emperor, full of deceit,” the Demon King roared, his bizarre eyes scanning the countless stone statues on the prairie. “The problem must be with the stone statues!”

“Roar, do you mean that these stone statues are actually some kind of special life forms?” the Demon King Ku looked at a row of sinister stone statues with closed eyes.

“We shouldn’t rule out that possibility,” the Sword Immortal Emperor suggested. “Let’s inspect these stone statues once more, look for anything unusual.”

“Alright then, you guys go ahead and take your time inspecting them, be thorough,” Huang Xiaolong yawned, randomly picked a spot, and sat down cross-legged, to rest and rejuvenate his spirits.

Just now, Huang Xiaolong had already scrutinized every single statue in this world.

He found nothing suspicious.

The stone statues were not hiding any life.

And they were merely crafted from ordinary stone.

To say these statues themselves were some special life forms was impossible.

A stone was just a stone. That was all.

Five loyal slaves stood firmly behind Huang Xiaolong.

A short while later, the Treasure Hunters looked disheartened.

Obviously, they hadn’t found anything.

“Brother-in-law, this world has a total of 14.56 million stone statues,” the Third Crown Prince reported as he approached Huang Xiaolong. “I have checked them all without missing any. I carefully pondered upon each statue, yet found nothing unusual.”

“The statues aren’t life forms,” the Sword Immortal Emperor also helplessly shook his head. “It’s strange.”

“Could it be that the key and treasure of this fourth world are deeply hidden beneath the ground?” the Ninth Princess wildly speculated.

“It’s getting late; how about we rest for tonight and discuss our plans tomorrow?” Huang Xiaolong suggested.

At that moment, as the sun set, the entire world bathed in the twilight.

The Treasure Hunters gave up for the day and gathered around in a circle, casually chatting.

Night fell.

They lit up a few campfires.

Perhaps it was the days spent exploring the Slayer Heavenly Ten Realms, experiencing too many brushes with life and death, that kept the Treasure Hunters always on edge.

Thus, the moment they had a chance to relax, a wave of exhaustion washed over every cell in their bodies like a tide.

They were tired.

Those who could be considered supreme beings in the cosmos, the Treasure Hunters, were unusually overwhelmed with sleepiness.

“You few, keep watch tonight,” the Sword Immortal Emperor yawned, giving orders to several Profound Immortals.

“Understood.” The Profound Immortals immediately took up positions in the four directions, eyes scanning around vigilantly.

Thereupon, the Treasure Hunters began to doze off on the spot.

Huang Xiaolong leaned against a stone statue, his eyes also closing.

As night deepened, absolute silence reigned.

The whole world was quiet, except for the crackling of the campfires, the sound of the wind in the grass, and the occasional snoring–nothing else stirred.

The Profound Immortals meant to keep watch also yawned repeatedly, no longer standing but finding places to sit down.

This night might just pass as calmly as this.

Since entering the Slayer Heavenly Mansion, this was the most normal and safest night they had.

But… it was strangely safe to an unbelievable extent.

The cold moonlight shone on the Treasure Hunters’ bodies, as if draping them in a gossamer veil.

At the same time, moonlight also fell on the grassland and the statues.

Suddenly!

A part of the statues bathing in the moonlight underwent a transformation!

Their tightly shut eyes unexpectedly–

eerily opened!

These statues whose eyes had opened had eyes that were a demonic blood-red color!

After opening their eyes, the rigid expressions on these statues seemed to come alive!

The corners of their mouths slightly turned upward, revealing a sinister smile that also contained endless mockery!

It was a terrifying smile!

Their bloody eyeballs rolled around, their gaze, however, focused on the treasure hunters who were sleeping.

And at this moment, the treasure hunters were completely unaware!

This scene was enough to send shivers down one’s spine!

The treasure hunters asleep were being spied on by some statues that had opened their eyes under the moonlight!

Shortly–

Swoosh~~Swoosh~~Swoosh~~~

Several of the statues whose eyes had opened silently projected beams of blood-red light from their eyes.

Several beams of blood-red light directly shone onto the heads of a few guarding Profound Immortals.

Those Profound Immortals, already half-asleep, suddenly, their bodies trembled slightly.

Immediately, those Profound Immortals all stood up together.

Their eyes had turned into the blood-red color of the open-eyed statues!

Their facial features also twisted, their mouths turned upward, pulling into a wicked, mocking smirk.

The expressions of these night-guarding Profound Immortals became identical to those of the open-eyed statues.

“Hehehehe~~” One Profound Immortal flexed his muscles, seeming to be adapting to this body, his voice hoarse and distorted, out of tune. “This body is really quite good~~ It contains powerful strength~~”

This was definitely not the original voice of the Profound Immortal!

“Yes~~ a perfect body indeed, flawless,” another Profound Immortal also chuckled contentedly. “Fun, fun~~~”

At this time, the moon hid behind the clouds.

The entire world again plunged into darkness.

Those open-eyed statues closed their eyes once more.

The several night-guarding Profound Immortals now looked towards the sleeping treasure hunters with murderous eyes.

“Let’s attack~~ I can hardly wait anymore~~ Hahaha~~” One male Profound Immortal actually emitted a woman’s voice.

“Wait~~” Another Profound Immortal coldly smiled. “Attacking now, they would surely be on guard. These treasure hunters are all very strong, even in their sleep, they are heavily guarded.”

“Yes.” Another Profound Immortal nodded. “The more relaxed they seem to be, the more vigilant they are. If we attack them now, they will instantly retaliate.”

“So?”

“Let’s attack tomorrow. We’ll do it during the day. These treasure hunters won’t realize that we have already successfully possessed their bodies. During the day, their guard will actually be down.”

“Alright, I really can’t wait much longer!”

…

Soon, the blood-red color in the eyes of these Profound Immortals faded away like the tide, and their eyes seemed to revert to their original form.

…

The next day!

Morning!

The sun rose from the horizon.

The treasure hunters woke up one after another.

“Nothing unusual last night?” Sword Immortal Emperor asked a few of the night-guarding Profound Immortals.

“Reporting to Sword Immortal Emperor, there were no disturbances last night. This world seems indeed to be free of danger,” one Profound Immortal bowed and said.

His voice also seemed to have returned to normal.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Immortal Emperor Ziyen smiled. “Alright, come rest for a bit. Tonight, this emperor will arrange for others to take your place in the watch.”

“Yes.”

The few Profound Immortals, head bowed, walked towards Immortal Emperor Ziyen.

Deep within their eye sockets, cruel and irrational killing intent was slowly… burning!
