Chapter 377: Chapter 332: Ghost Zone and River God_4

During the day, she pretended to be an ordinary believer and went specifically to the River God Temple at the ferry crossing, which occupied a vast area. She didn’t find any trace of the Grand Celebrant but noticed a new human-height stone carving erected on the left side of the temple entrance.

The sculpture was that of a monster resembling both a crocodile and a water python, with flames swirling around its body.

During the day, Sophia felt that the sculpture was a little strange, so she kept it in mind. Later in the evening when everything was quiet, she sneaked to the temple gate to take a closer look to see what was so extraordinary about the sculpture.

However, as soon as she appeared, she felt as if the sculpture suddenly came to life!

Even though it was obviously a stone carving, its eyes were staring at her intently. It gave off a tremendous aura that pressed upon her like a flood, as if an overwhelming, mountainous wave was sweeping toward her!

In an instant, Sophia’s clothes were soaked with sweat, and she dared not move, as she felt the sculpture was scrutinizing her. Just at this moment, the Communication Talisman in her chest began to throb.

Sophia cursed in her heart: Again?! Why does this always happen at the last minute?

That old lecher and I must have incompatible fates...

The feeling of that strange sculpture was very peculiar, with the aura of the Demon Clan, the scent of incense mystic power, and the methods of cultivation... What on earth was this statue? Or had the River God become so powerful that he could effortlessly manipulate all sorts of forces in the world to create such a unique Door God?

If so, the evaluation of the Hierarch River God’s rank would have to be greatly upgraded.

That eerie sculpture did not take further action, just kept staring at Sophia. Facing the pair of eyes, Sophia was also puzzled, wondering: What does it mean? It seems to hesitate whether or not to attack me?

Time passed little by little; Sophia’s body grew stiff. When daylight began to appear, she knew that she couldn’t go on like this. If the people at the River God Temple saw her standing at the door, it would be even more difficult to escape later.

She contemplated several methods in her heart, weighing which one would be easier to get away with and require the least cost.

Just at this moment, the wharf started to get busy, as the iron-shell ships that carried goods prepared to sail.

Suddenly, there was a loud splash of water. A huge, flattened dark green crab leaped out, its upper body already on the shore, while its lower half remained in the river.

It had four giant pincers. Two were like ordinary crab pincers, whereas the other two were several times longer, with a thick, ten-foot-long stalk growing at their back, snapping at the busy boatmen and porters on the dock.

Immediately, chaos erupted on the wharf. Attacks by such demon beasts were common when sailing on the river.

Such a powerful beast was definitely not something these ordinary people could resist.

Just as a bloody disaster was about to befall, Sophia suddenly noticed that the pressure in front of her had vanished without a trace. The statue’s eyes had frozen, and it became a regular stone sculpture again.

"Hmm?" Although puzzled, Sophia didn’t hesitate and turned to run.

After she left, she heard huge waves being stirred up in the river, followed by many people shouting, "The River God has manifested his spirit!"

She leaped onto rooftops from a distance and looked towards the docks, only to see a huge creature in the water biting and dragging the giant crab, both entangled and rolling in the water, fighting fiercely.

The battle did not last long, as the Tier-3 Demonic Crab, which was overwhelmingly powerful to ordinary people, was no match for the mysterious giant beast. Within a few rounds, the river’s surface calmed down, and the giant crab disappeared without a trace.

Sophia realized with trepidation: Was it the sculpture?!

Could it really be the divine beast guarding the River God and protecting his believers?

Sophia truly reconsidered her opinion of the River God Faith. She had been able to gather the divine beast that responded to prayers—such power far surpassed her initial expectations!

Sophia glanced again at the River God Temple not far away, feeling that the building was unfathomably profound. Her desire to meet the Grand Celebrant soon faded away.

"Forget it, forget it. It’s just Five Thousand Spirit Jade. The intel I have gathered so far is enough for me to report."

Sophia slipped away quietly, returned to the inn she was staying at, and fiercely pulled out the Communication Talisman, gritting her teeth in anger: "Old ghost, can’t you stop setting me up all the time?"

"If I die, who will you show off to?"
