Chapter 383 Ancient Temple Statues

First Stone Bridge Town, inside the station.

Yu Shan sat in the empty waiting hall. Although he knew it was absolutely safe, the dim lighting and occasional flickering lights still sent a chill down his spine.

The hall was unusually quiet; the only sound was the ticking of the second hand of the wall clock.

Yu Shan swallowed hard, looked up at the clock face, and as the ten-minute time limit expired, the clock flashed a few times, displaying the personnel information of both sides.

Group 1: 1 attacker, 12 defenders

Group Two: 3 attackers, 9 defenders

At the same time, two square maps appeared below, one marked as No. 1 Stone Bridge Town and the other as Second Stone Bridge Town.

On map one, there are twelve Green Dot and three red dots; on map two, there are nine Green Dot and one red dot.

Yu Shan slowly moved closer, looking at the single red dot on map number two. "Is this my projection?"

On the map, the nine Green Dot chose to land at the shopping mall in the south of the town, while the red dot was rapidly approaching the location of the blue dot. Once it entered the shopping mall's area, its movement noticeably slowed down, and it began to approach slowly.

"He must have activated his assassination ability and entered Stealth Status..." When no one else was around, Yu Shan seemed much more normal; he no longer stuttered and his demeanor was less timid.

Despite the red dot getting closer, the nine Green Dot seemed completely unaware and remained motionless.

Finally, the red dot arrived next to the Green Dot, and then suddenly flashed, merging with one of the Green Dot!

The attack has begun!

Yu Shan's heart tightened as well. Although he wasn't personally attacking, the red dot was, after all, a projection of his own, representing his strength. Naturally, he hoped to succeed in the assassination. Contributing to the mission was one aspect, but achieving results would also earn him recognition and praise from others!

However, the red dots disappeared in the next instant, and when you looked at the Green Dot again, there were still nine, not one missing...

Uh... Yu Shan's expression was slightly dejected, then he snorted coldly, "Tch! It's all those guys' fault. They left me alone. One against nine, it's definitely not going to be easy. If I had a helper, I would definitely have been able to take one down!"

As he spoke, he looked at map number one, where the twelve Green Dot were concentrated in the Ancient Temple, while the three red dots were painted in the south of the town. They were a bit far away and didn't seem to be in a hurry, slowly heading north.

"Why is everyone else's projection so steady..." Yu Shan pouted, glanced at the second map where the red dot was no longer visible, and couldn't help but complain, "It's just that I'm all alone here, I don't even have anyone to discuss things with. If I had two companions, I definitely wouldn't be in such a hurry."

As he spoke, his gaze returned to map number one, where the twelve Green Dot were being explored within the Ancient Temple.

"Tch, three attackers will be coming to take care of you soon! You think I'm the weakest? I'll see how strong you are, and whether you can withstand the assassination of three attackers!" Yu Shan said indignantly, then suddenly his eyes widened.

He noticed that one of the Green Dot flashed a few times and then disappeared!

How could that be?

Yu Shan rubbed his eyes and looked closely, discovering that there were indeed only eleven Green Dot left!

The assassination has already begun? But those three red dots are still hundreds of meters away!

Could it be... a long-range sniping attack?

Meanwhile, inside the Ancient Temple in First Stone Bridge Town, everyone was looking behind them in surprise.

The imposing statue stood in the courtyard, its large sword stained with blood. At its feet lay Liu Yufeng's body, severed in two.

"What's going on?" Everyone stared blankly at the statue. The rules didn't mention any monsters in this town.

"And this isn't an ordinary monster..." Wang Yifan pulled his glasses down a bit, observing the enormous statue with his naked eye. "There's no fluctuation of energy on its body, so how is it moving?"

Xu Li shook her head. "Not only that... it didn't make a sound before it attacked, and no one noticed it approaching!"

"Completely undetectable, it was almost like... stealth..." Zhu Xixi's eyes darted around. "Could it be that this monster is actually a disguised projection of the other side? Did they just use an assassination skill?"

"Very likely..." Ma Lei frowned, "We'll know once we break it open!"

As she spoke, she suddenly wrapped her hands in blazing flames and rushed towards the statue!

Ma Lei is Elemental School, but both her appearance and moves have a Martial Combat Faction feel to them. Her fighting style involves using elements to wrap around her body and charging in for hand-to-hand combat. She is a well-known Melee Mage!

The statue appears to be cast in brass. It was already over two meters tall when seated in the temple, and now it stands over three meters tall. With such a large size, it certainly cannot be solid; it is probably just an empty shell. The enemy's projection is very likely hidden inside!

Accelerated by the flames, Ma Lei arrived in front of the statue in the blink of an eye, and punched it head-on with her fist wreathed in flames!

Bang!

The punch landed with a sound like a striking bell, and Ma Lei felt a sharp pain in her right hand.

"How could this be?" Ma Lei looked at her twisted and deformed fist in surprise. When she hit the statue, the flames wrapped around her fist had no effect at all, and even her protective qi was useless. It was as if she had just smashed it with her bare fist!

How could a fist made of flesh and blood withstand a metal statue? With this punch, Ma Lei's finger bones were broken, and her right hand was basically useless!

At the same time, the statue raised its large sword and slashed down at Ma Lei!

The statue was made of bronze, but the knife was made of solid steel and was even sharpened. It gleamed coldly in the moonlight and slashed down with incredible speed, leaving Ma Lei no time to dodge!

At this critical moment, a figure flashed by and, with a clang, blocked the statue's greatsword!

It was Wang Shuwen, this strong and muscular man from the Martial Combat Faction. At this moment, he was holding a long spear, which he propped up diagonally on the ground, the shaft of which was blocking the blade.

"What great strength!" Wang Shuwen snorted coldly, used his arms to swing his broadsword, and using the spear shaft as a fulcrum, kicked the statue!

Seeing this, Ma Lei cried out, "No!" But it was too late; Wang Shuwen's kick landed squarely!

But as soon as his feet touched the statue, he showed the same look of surprise as Ma Lei!

The Martial Combat Faction possessed immense strength. Wang Shuwen's kick sent the several-ton statue flying, crashing into the main hall of the Ancient Temple with a deafening roar. He then used the recoil to somersault backward, landing on one foot while the other dangled, using the barrel of his gun as a crutch to support his body.

Upon closer inspection, his dangling foot was trembling slightly.

"You noticed, didn't you...?" Ma Lei's right hand trembled as she retreated. "This monster is immune to direct attacks from elemental energy!"
