However, when the White Bone Battalion officers had all the newly promoted elites sit in a circle around the white bone statue, compose themselves, empty their minds, and stare at the statue for a long time, an unbelievable scene slowly emerged before their eyes.
In a daze, everyone "saw" the white bone statue growing larger and larger.
From its initial height of barely half an arm, it gradually expanded until it stood as tall as a person.
Then, it grew to four or five arms in height, towering far above even the most burly Mammoth Warrior.
At last, the white bone statue surpassed a hundred arms in height, like a Gods and Devils standing between heaven and earth.
The pair of eyes condensed from everyone's blood were even more impossible to look at directly, like the blazing sun at noon.
Logically, since they were seated in a circle around the white bone statue, some should have been sitting behind it and unable to see its eyes.
Yet the ratfolk warriors, deeply drawn to the white bone statue, all seemed to see themselves seated directly before it, shrouded in magma-hot radiance pouring from the depths of its eyes.
Accompanied by an incantation that seemed to drift from ancient times, solemn and reverent yet unfathomably mysterious, the enormous statue actually moved!
Its eyes became like fountains, spraying countless crimson rays across its body. They transformed into red threads like nerves and blood vessels, wrapping around crystalline bones with the texture of White Jade and controlling the colossal skeleton as it slowly raised its arms.
The white bone statue sat cross-legged, and naturally had only two arms.
Yet the several hundred ratfolk warriors present all "saw" the white bone statue staring deeply at them and extending its enormous skeletal palm over their heads.
