Chapter 55: Fighting four Statue Dolls

"It might be this Heavenly Palace's civilization, did they also get destroyed in the end? ---But why is this place still intact without any damage? And there are still Beasts too." Qin Yuan wondered and was a bit confused.

"Or have they been exterminated in some other way?"

"There is something equally terrible, it is not destroying but can also end a civilization," replied the Sky Butterfly Queen.

Hearing her words, Qin Yuan looked at her with an expression as if he was saying, "what?"

"Be eaten," she continued.

The words instantly reminded Qin Yuan of some evil cultivators who went so far as to eat other cultivators to become stronger.

Such a thing is not much because those who do it will definitely be hunted down.

But to eat up an entire civilization, he couldn't help but feel horrified.

"Have you ever seen such a thing, Queen?" Qin Yuan asked.

"No, just heard it," replied the Queen.

"Oh..."

Qin Yuan looked at the Sky Butterfly Queen with quite a deep gaze.

The latter looked uncomfortable, she said "let's move on, we only have 5 hours here!"

After saying that, she immediately resumed her pace.

Following behind her, Qin Yuan held his chin and thought, 'I'm pretty sure she's from somewhere else. Does that mean there is another world besides the Divine World?'

Qin Yuan didn't think the Sky Butterfly Queen would be secretive about her origins considering she had already said a few things about him.

Maybe she just needed the right situation and timing.

And whether she said it or not was the determinant of whether she wanted to be a part of the Divine World or remain a stranger.

Of course, it didn't matter to Qin Yuan who wasn't from the Divine World either.

To him, they could keep in touch as long as she didn't have any ill will towards him.

Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen continued to advance forward, neither of them speaking anymore. Each busy with their own thoughts.

The paintings had stopped, but there were several doors that contained only empty rooms.

There is one door which is quite interesting because it is slightly ajar.

Stopping in front of that door, Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen couldn't help but look at each other as they also sensed something.

Cautiously, Qin Yuan pushed open the door which was not as heavy as the previous door.

Bang!

Something suddenly fell and even produced a bang sound, slightly startling Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen.

It turned out to be a hand skull holding a rusty sword.

When the hand skull fell, it instantly shattered into dust grains.

Behind the door, there was nothing but an empty room.

The Sky Butterfly Queen then took the sword and studied it.

"During the time when the spirituality of this sword was still present, it should not be far from the Peak Divine Weapon," she said.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, touched the dust grains.

"There is no doubt, this was once someone with a ninth stage cultivation," he said.

"But surprisingly enough, a skeleton at this stage, even after a thousand generations, it should still be very sturdy. This one, on the other hand, has already turned to ashes..."

Whoosh...

Qin Yuan blew away the dust grains, making them scatter.

Since there was nothing else, he and the Sky Butterfly Queen continued on their way.

Not long after, they arrived at another hall.

This time it was very spacious with a luxurious throne in one corner.

It was still emitting an aura even though it had dimmed a bit.

"A very powerful material," said the Sky Butterfly Queen.

She and Qin Yuan did not head straight for the throne because something more caught their attention in another corner.

It's a cupboard.

Dust had almost filled the cupboard, but there were still some books.

After making sure that there was nothing out of the ordinary, Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen stepped closer to the cupboard.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

But suddenly, there were four shadows that came out of nowhere.

Seeing them, Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen instantly took out their weapons.

The four shadows surrounded them.

Their form finally showed when they stopped moving. And they turned out to be expressionless statues.

Even Qin Yuan and the Sky Butterfly Queen felt quite the danger upon seeing them.

Moreover, each of them wielded a saber.

"Statue Dolls!"

"Now I'm sure, the person who repelled the Heaven Strikes was an Immortal or how could only one of the palaces here have four puppets like that," said Qin Yuan.

Coupled with the Beasts outside, Qin Yuan thought there was a difference like heaven and earth between this place and other ancient mysterious places.

Elsewhere, hardly any powerful beings of stage eight and above had ever appeared.

Most of the dangers in those places only came from things like formations, curses, poison, and so on.

Maybe the creatures were also in those places though not many, but it would take something bigger to get them out.

Qin Yuan observed the four dolls.

Covered under their clothes, he felt some kind of energy source.

"Queen, I think they will stop once they run out of energy," he said.

The Sky Butterfly Queen nodded, she added, "their energy might run out faster if we attack them!"

Right after that, they lunged at them. Each of them was attacked from the left and right.

With his staff, Qin Yuan parried one of the sabers that was slashed at him and dodged the other by jumping into a corner.

The Sky Butterfly Queen did that too, but it didn't seem like she was able to withstand the impact.

Her body shook and almost fell.

As someone skilled in speed and ranged attacks, fighting in this tight space was clearly something that cost her a lot.

"Queen, let me restrain them, you will be in charge of attacking them," Qin Yuan immediately thought of a suitable strategy against them.
