Zhou Yuan's conjecture was correct, the eyes of the warrior statue soon began to glow red followed by their bodies moving like a living human in general.
"Broker Yuan, beware, their strength is higher than that army of skulls!" Jian Chen reminded.
Zhou Yuan also felt that way, although the number of warrior statues numbered in the tens of statues yet they emitted a powerful aura on his body.
The statues began to step foot and walk closer to Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen, when a few more meters of warrior statues began to swing their weapons.
"Their strength at least equaled that of a warrior who was at the peak of the crystal realm..." Zhou Yuan analyzed the strength of the warrior statue from the attack.
Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen then broke away, there were almost eighty statues in the room and they had the same power.
When the two separated from each other, the statue warriors were simultaneously divided into two groups, the first group was against Zhou Yuan while the second group was fighting Jian Chen with each against 40 warrior statues.
Zhou Yuan immediately took the attack, even if his opponent was a statue but they still had the agility and understanding of martial arts to dodge, fend off, and attack.
The forty statues attacked Zhou Yuan along with the way of encircling him from various directions. Zhou Yuan was actually amazed, not only had martial skills turned out they also had intelligence.
Zhou Yuan did not let them act as he pleased, he used a water sword technique that had a bending movement to push back his opponents.
The statue could not feel any pain despite Zhou Yuan scratching his body, Zhou Yuan then switched to attacking vital parts like the neck and head.
With the inner energy flowing, Zhou Yuan cut off one of the statue's heads. This worked until the statue no longer moved after its head separated from its place.
Zhou Yuan did not wait any longer after learning of his weakness, he again gave another slash and destroyed the remaining statues, taking over an hour until he could finish off the 40 statues.
By the time Zhou Yuan completed the forty warriors statues that surrounded him, at the same time Jian Chen had also finished off the remaining 40 statues.
When all the statues have been destroyed, the walls of the room again open which shows the next hallway. Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen then re-entered the tomb deeper.
Just like the first one, there would be another trap and this time it was much more deadly, fortunately for Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen's abilities it could be passed through without any meaningful effort.
In the next room, the third room is not much different from the second room containing the statue but what distinguishes the number of statues in this room so much less, exactly there are 10 statues of soldiers.
The eyes of the statue shone again and began to come to life again, Zhou Yuan felt the aura emanating from this statue was much stronger than the previous 80 statues.
Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen again broke away to fight against the five warrior statues from each of their parts.
Zhou Yuan became the first to attack, he swung his sword but momentarily did not expect the statue he could dodge his swing of attack.
Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, looking from the agility of the statue's warrior Zhou Yuan guessed their strength was in the light realm with 2 meridians exposed.
Zhou Yuan took a cold breath, he had not expected tracing the ancient tomb to find a creature this strong.
"Wave Wave!"
Zhou Yuan used his sword technique, his swing rising stronger as well as being coated in a huge amount of inner power, in one go, Zhou Yuan cut the body of the statue warrior in two.
Zhou Yuan adjusted his breathing, he had not expected it to be so exhausting against that soldier. Zhou Yuan rested for a moment before beginning to continue tracing the tomb.
The walls opened again after the two finished off the ten warrior statues, the traps in the tomb passageway were more and more deadly than before.
Zhou Yuan had to use his dragon scales technique every second to protect his body for not being sure he could avoid all those traps.
In contrast to Zhou Yuan having his own difficulties, on the other hand Jian Chen actually seemed not too troubled by the tomb traps.
Thanks to his experience and high ability he was able to overcome every obstacle that came easily.
The two continued to enter the tomb deeper, the deeper they traced the tomb the higher either the obstacle or the obstacle.
Zhou Yuan adjusted his irregular breathing, after more than twelve hours of him tracing the tomb, his inner strength had already drained quite a lot.
"Broker Yuan, if you want we can rest here first..." Jian Chen realized Zhou Yuan's situation so stopped tracing his tomb.
Jian Chen looked not exhausted even though the two were pulsing through the tomb simultaneously, the young man's breathing was still in order.
Zhou Yuan nodded, he chose a place to rest to recover his inner strength. With the embroidery gem that is owned he can accelerate the recovery of energy in it.
"Broker Jian, you said you were in the Eastern Mainland Continent, how did you arrive here? Isn't the ocean between continents very vast?" Zhou Yuan asked and tried to be more familiar with Jian Chen.
"I used a special vehicle to get here, not a ship but a horse-drawn carriage that could float in the air."
Zhou Yuan frowned, seemingly not understanding the intent of the chariot that could float.
"Broker Yuan, I see you and I have something in common, maybe one day you can go to a different, wider continent, like the Central Land Continent."
Zhou Yuan held his breath, he had heard of the Central Land Continent from his teacher, according to his knowledge the continent has a larger area of the Northern Mainland Continent with their more advanced martial arts.
"Expert Jian, have you also been to the Central Land Continent?" Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, he was sure that the young man before him had been to many places in this world.
The young man nodded, "In the course of my life I have never seen a place more evil than there, the life of the eastern continent and the northern continent feels more peaceful than the Central Land Continent which is like the law of the jungle."
Jian Chen sighed before forcing to smile, "Although so for those with high strength they can move freely anywhere without worrying about danger. With power, you can get what you want..."
Zhou Yuan agreed with Jian Chen's remark, with strength, one could obtain another like money, throne, or power.
A high strength was able to protect oneself well and most importantly with strength, one would not be oppressed.
After more than two hours Zhou Yuan rested, he managed to recover most of his inner power back. Zhou Yuan was also actually not feeling good enough to make Jian Chen continue to wait for him.
The two again proceeded to enter the tomb deeper, in the umpteenth room, Zhou Yuan and Jian Chen this time were startled with an unusually large demon the size of a hill.
A Spider Demon that was thousands of years old had been waiting for the arrival of the two, yet they acted the spider demon had already released a dense murderous aura.
