Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 175, The Statue Comes to Life

As for Lin Yue, although she didn't really understand the ins and outs of gossip, she... had a cheat code!

Just now, when everyone was on high alert and focused on the statues, Lin Yue quietly took out her communicator, took a picture of the scene, and sent it to Jin Xuan.

Jinxuan usually stayed in bed, so she replied quickly after receiving Lin Yue's message. Although she couldn't reveal too much because of Tianlei's roundness, she still smiled and praised after seeing the picture Lin Yue sent: "Not bad, you actually found the right spot."

Upon hearing Jin Xuan's words, Lin Yue felt reassured, and her initial anxiety eased considerably. It seemed that her mission might actually have a chance.

Looking again at the sculptures standing in the eight directions, it seemed as if they were still adjusting something, slowly turning around several more times. The movements carried an ancient and mysterious rhythm, which, although not fast, made Lin Yue feel a little dizzy.

Once they finally stopped, light began to emanate from the eyes of each statue, growing brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire hall even more.

Then, the hard outer layer of stone on the statue began to break and peel off piece by piece, slowly falling to the ground with a soft sound.

As more and more of the stone skin peeled away, Lin Yue soon saw the soft yet resilient body inside the statue. The body was bulging and looked extraordinary. Lin Yue could even feel the boundless power contained within it.

These statues have come to life!

Lin Yue reacted quickly. When she saw the statues showing signs of coming to life, she almost instinctively unfolded her Sky Wings and took flight, trying to create some distance between herself and the statues to observe the situation.

Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu also reacted quickly. After exchanging a tacit glance, they simultaneously exerted their strength and leaped down from their respective sculptures, landing steadily on the ground.

The moment they landed, they kicked up a small cloud of dust. Both of them wore solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the statues that had begun to move. They knew that, judging from the situation, another great battle was about to begin.

Speaking of this Black Tower complex, apart from the fourth level "Heart Refinement", the other levels seem to test physical fitness!

Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu couldn't help but exchange another glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes. After all, in the current situation, it was clear to anyone with eyes that those who teamed up in pairs had the advantage. But on their side, each of them occupied a sculpture, which had been easy just now, and now they couldn't help but feel uncertain about fighting.

Sure enough, before they could think much about it, once all the statues came to life, they attacked the person closest to them, as if given an order to do so.

In an instant, chaos erupted in the hall, with shouts and sounds of fighting mingling together.

While in the air, Lin Yue used her ability to stay airborne to temporarily avoid the direct attacks from the statues on the ground, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But before she could even feel relieved, she discovered that the Jumang statue, with its human face and bird body, could also fly!

Jumang flapped its enormous wings, creating a powerful gust of air, and chased after Lin Yue. Back and forth they went, gradually moving away from the people and beasts on the ground, forming their own battlefield in mid-air.

While nimbly dodging Jumang's attacks in the air, Lin Yue quickly observed her opponent.

The statue of Jumang is quite large, with its entire body estimated to be at least three or four meters tall, almost the size of a single-story building, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Since it was a one-on-one fight, Lin Yue first tried the "man-eating flower." However, the man-eating flower's large mouth, full of sharp teeth, was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Ju Mang. It couldn't even bite into the flower, let alone swallow it. Ju Mang simply flapped his wings and swatted the man-eating flower away.

Lin Yue quickly returned it and then tried many other plants.

What's frustrating is that the bullets from various plants hit Jumang's tough body like tickling, leaving not even a mark, let alone causing any real damage or deducting any health points.

Lin Yue was both anxious and angry, and couldn't help but curse under her breath. She thought that if all else failed, she would have to resort to bombs.

However, this bomb is indeed quite powerful. Once it is used, the affected area will be more than just Jumang. Everything around here will probably be blown to smithereens.

Lin Yue could disregard others, but Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu had accompanied her all the way, experiencing many hardships and dangers, especially the third level of the Black Tower, where the two of them practically carried her the whole way. She certainly couldn't watch them die here for no reason, so she hesitated.

Fortunately, although the plant attacks couldn't cause any real damage to Jumang, the "Frost Archer's" freezing ability was still active. Even if it only immobilized Jumang for a few breaths, it gave Lin Yue a chance to catch her breath.

Lin Yue didn't care about saving money at this moment, and directly took out two "Frost Archers" and planted them on her shoulders, one on each side.

The two "Frost Archers" sprayed icy light at Jumang one after another, and a thin layer of ice gradually formed on Jumang's body, making his movements slower.

Taking advantage of Ju Mang's moment of immobility and fall, Lin Yue quickly grabbed the pair of daggers and rushed forward.

Unfortunately, even an excellent-grade dagger seemed unable to pierce Jumang's skin. Lin Yue tried his neck, head, eyes... even his nostrils, but still couldn't find Jumang's weakness.

If you can't break through its defenses, even freezing it for 10,000 seconds won't help!

Lin Yue grew increasingly anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. If she couldn't break through the statue's defenses, even if she could freeze it for ten thousand seconds, it would be of no use at all!

Lin Yue was anxious, but thanks to her agility and the help of the plants, she hadn't been injured yet. However, the others weren't doing so well; some of the statues had ridiculously high defense, while others possessed astonishing strength.

At that moment, one of the two brothers unfortunately ran into the accident, and the scene was truly horrific.
