"Ahem..."
The members of the Preaching Squad clutched their chests and struggled to raise their heads.
The three clay statues had now changed completely.
They were no longer lifeless lumps of clay, but... three half-human, half-clay monsters!
Their bodies were half earth and half flesh.
Their faces were twisted and hideous, filled with pain and madness.
"Roar!!!"
Three earth-shaking roars burst from their mouths.
A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than before instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"Old Sun's Golden-Hooped Staff has never feared anyone."
Little White Dragon nodded slightly.
Not one member of the Preaching Squad was afraid. They really would not stop out of fear.
It was just that Little White Dragon could not think of a better method now.
The half-earth, half-flesh Three Pure Ones Sacred Statues were truly bizarre, giving him a bad feeling too.
Sun Wukong sprang to his feet, two golden flames flickering in his eyes.
"I, Old Sun, have an idea!"
"What idea?"
Everyone asked in unison.
Sun Wukong drew a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the three clay statues.
"These three clay statues revive when we move their bodies!"
"Then why don't we leave their bodies
