Chapter 475: Chapter 334: The Nighttime Anomaly - Ji Chaoyang Reaches the Summit_3
"It hasn’t been too long, probably about two hours ago, when it was still daylight."
Then, as they walked towards the center of the giant peak, Xu Xin told Ji Chaoyang everything he had discovered at the top of the peak.
"Transmission Array..." Ji Chaoyang crouched before the Teleportation Array Pattern, reaching out to touch the pattern, his eyes growing brighter.
He naturally understood the subtlety of it in an instant.
And when Xu Xin mentioned that during the day all the statues were in attacking poses, and only after nightfall had they changed to their current state, Ji Chaoyang’s brow slightly furrowed.
The two were now standing in front of the teleportation gate.
"Have you finished your activity? The watch should be usable now." Xu Xin raised his left hand and swiped his watch, projecting a virtual image. Sure enough, Ji Chaoyang’s name appeared on the mountaineering leaderboard.
Silver, the name Ji Chaoyang in large characters.
"Looks like we’re still first and second in all areas." Ji Chaoyang’s lips curled into a slight smile, then he shook his head helplessly, "When will I surpass you for once?"
"This time, my ability didn’t help me much either." Xu Xin said with some confusion.
Ji Chaoyang’s conditions should be the same as his.
He wasted three hours at the vulture statue, otherwise, he could have climbed up in just three hours.
How could Ji Chaoyang be slower than him?
"Did you encounter something this time?"
"Yes." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Things are a bit complex. I’ll tell you in detail after we go back..."
His voice grew smaller and his eyes gradually widened, staring in the direction behind Xu Xin.
Xu Xin’s heart tightened and he quickly turned to look.
He saw countless blood-red patterns glowing from the foot of the wyvern stone statue, quickly ascending to its legs, body, wings, and head, finally enveloping the entire wyvern statue like a spider web!
Meanwhile, the eyes of the wyvern statue began to glow with a blood-red light!
Their bodies instantly tensed.
"To the teleportation gate!" Xu Xin said in a low voice.
"Alright!"
They quickly ran to the front of the teleportation gate, warily watching the statue lit up with blood patterns.
If anything happened, they would jump directly into the teleportation gate to escape.
But... it really came to life?
Fortunately, only this wyvern statue showed such a strange occurrence; the other statues remained unchanged.
However, things did not develop as the two imagined.
After waiting for around three to four minutes, the statue remained motionless, with the blood patterns still glowing, seeming to be simply glowing.
The two exchanged a glance, their expressions gradually relaxing.
That was indeed a bit terrifying.
"With our current strength, perhaps using the treehouse, we might have a chance to defend against its attack," Ji Chaoyang contemplated as he surveyed the wyvern.
Xu Xin shook his head, "Don’t be deceived by its wings being folded, making it look small. During the day, its wings spread out to over ten meters in wingspan, truly an ancient beast."
"Well, that’s still weaker than the giant anaconda in your lake," Ji Chaoyang laughed.
"True. Let’s go down first. Two people up here aren’t much use. We need a third person."
"Alright."
Both turned to look once more at the entire stone statue forest and then stepped into the teleportation gate, disappearing from the summit of the giant peak.
However, neither saw that after they left, a mutation occurred.
The wyvern stone statue, glowing with blood patterns over its entire body, slowly raised its massive drooping head!
The blood glow in its eyes seemed even more intense.
