Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Eerie Ritual, Another Golden Treasure Chest!

In front of him, on the pitch-black stone, a creature was vividly carved.

It stood about two meters tall, with its entire body covered in scales. It had strong powerful hind limbs with bird-like horned five claws, and a pair of broad wings on its back;

Looking at its rather horrifying head, a grayish-yellow long beak like a huge knife took up most of the space, and in its slender eye sockets were vertical pupils like those of snakes and lizards!

Most strikingly, extending crazily around from the back of its head were numerous irregular tentacles!

It was a chimera of lizard and bird, representing slaughter and madness!

"Monster Winged Dragon! Why is this thing here?"

Lin Yue couldn’t help but gasp, even involuntarily stepping back.

The statue before him was undoubtedly a Monster Winged Dragon. If others might mistake it, Lin Yue would never mistake it.

In the Secret Realm, from the first time seeing this creature to the last time leaving, he had been dealing with these things.

He even managed to kill four of them and plucked the feathers off their bodies.

Having had many close encounters with this creature, he was extremely familiar with their appearance.

However, the odd thing was here.

If it were anything else, even if the statue of a Tiger-striped Shadow Deer appeared here, he wouldn’t be so surprised.

The Monster Winged Dragon was a predator surviving in the Secret Realm, presumably after dozens of years on Earth, and was absolutely not something that should exist in this Otherworld’s Underground Ruins, sculpted as a statue by those Lizardmen, right?

Moreover.

Many parts of this statue had been rubbed to an extremely smooth state, as if coated with a layer of grease, indicating it had been sculpted a long time ago.

Lin Yue looked again at the feet of the statue and discovered three bowl-shaped trays, also seemingly polluted by something, black and red in color.

He then looked at the sides of the statue and saw two large jars, each taller than a person.

Alongside them, there were four smaller sealed jars.

A strange fragrance he had smelled before wafted from these jars.

The more Lin Yue thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

This should be a monster from the Secret Realm, so how could it be sculpted into a statue in this Otherworld’s Underground Ruins, seemingly... being worshiped, made into a statue?

What on earth was going on?

"Puchi! Puchi!"

Just as Lin Yue pondered, Bai suddenly sounded an alert!

"Bai?" Lin Yue looked up abruptly. Were enemies coming?

"Puchi!" Bai shouted toward the direction of the main door, indicating the imminent danger!

Lin Yue quickly spotted the upper left corner of this massive space and rushed there at the fastest speed, pulling all the torches nearby into his Storage Space!

Simultaneously, he promptly set up a stone wall, directly locking it in this corner, completely enclosing himself and Bai in this triangular space, completely undetectable from the outside.

The stone wall was about three meters high. Lin Yue looked up and found there was still about a meter of distance between the top of the wall and the ceiling above. Though it wasn’t completely covered by a lid, in this torchless corner, it should be safe enough.

Lin Yue placed a wooden ladder against the stone wall, and Bai also sprang up, exposing half of its head along with him, gazing toward the direction of the main door.

It wasn’t long before chaotic footsteps and strange voices could be heard, and the wooden door was simultaneously opened!

Dressed in crude armor and tattered clothing, the dark green Lizardmen carrying stone spears arrogantly appeared in view.

Why come to this space at this time?

As time passed, the influx of Lizardmen continued to increase, and some of them were even carrying sack-like things, which they threw onto the very center of a circular platform.

There were six sacks in total, and from their shape... it seemed like they contained humans?

What were they going to do?

Lin Yue observed carefully, simultaneously aligning the sighting scope of his Steel Repeating Crossbow in that direction.

The Lizardmen kept entering, filling the vast space with their grating voices.

However, as a tall Lizardman clad in white cloth, holding a small jar, entered, the wooden door was again closed.

All the Lizardmen gathered near the circular platform in the middle, with none approaching the edges or surveying around.

Lin Yue realized he was in luck; thus, none had discovered him perched on the wall in the corner, observing the strange acts of these Lizardmen.

"Sa! Sa!"

Suddenly, the white-clad Lizardman shouted, and the other Lizardmen surrounding the circular platform opened the sacks one by one, revealing humans inside as Lin Yue saw through the sighting scope!

As he marveled, those people—whether dead or alive—were arranged by the Lizardmen in a circle with their heads facing outward atop the circular platform. The white-clad Lizardman then placed the jar at the very center.

Following this, as the white-clad Lizardman raised its arms, the Lizardmen surrounding the platform each lifted an axe high!

"Sa! Sa! Sa!"

As the white-clad Lizardman bellowed, all the axes fell simultaneously!

Blood splattered onto the platform.

Lin Yue finally understood what the dark red stains on the central platform were.

Afterward, the white-clad Lizardman lifted the jar, muttering something, then jumped off the platform and headed straight for the Monster Winged Dragon statue, a few Lizardmen behind piling the severed heads in front of the statue.

This bizarre and wicked ceremony continued for quite a while before the white-clad Lizardman departed, followed by the gradual departure of the other Lizardmen.

After an excruciatingly long time, this grotesque act finally ended.

Lin Yue smelled the bloody stench lingering in the space, feeling as though the scenes were like a nightmare.

"Puchi!"

Just as Lin Yue was about to leave and return to the Shelter as soon as possible, Bai suddenly called out again.

The wooden door opened once more, and this time the white-clad tall Lizardman entered again!

It walked straight to the platform, yet no other Lizardmen followed.

Then, it seemed to rummage through the bodies, presumably taking something like a necklace.

However, afterward, it went again to the statue, muttering bizarre, unpleasant things continuously.

Lin Yue listened to the oppressive murmuring, unsure how much longer this ritual would last.

Yet at this moment, Bai suddenly transformed into a beam of white light, heading straight towards the Lizardman!

Lin Yue responded instantly, aiming his Steel Repeating Crossbow at the white-clad Lizardman’s location!

As a burst of white mist suddenly erupted, Lin Yue’s crossbow arrows were fired shot after shot!
