Chapter 630: 0631 Life is like a drama, it all depends on acting (second update)

It wasn’t long before Ye Qiu ran to the head of the colossal sculpture, where he activated the power of Black Flame, and striking at the sculpture, he left only a slight mark.

This slightly shocked Ye Qiu, wondering what material the colossal sculpture was made of; exerting five layers of Black Flame power had only left a tiny mark, which seemed too hard.

Obtaining the Crystal Stone inside the head of the colossal sculpture was no easy task, and after an unsuccessful attempt to attack, the two other massive sculpture hands reached for him.

Ye Qiu dared not collide with them. Seeing as even five layers of Black Flame power couldn’t damage it, clashing directly would simply waste his energy.

Fortunately, these giants weren’t very agile. Ye Qiu used his speed to dodge strike after strike, gradually mastering the movements of the three colossal sculptures.

After all, colossal sculptures were inanimate objects without sufficient intelligence, and soon, Ye Qiu came up with a bold idea.

He stood on the shoulder of the colossal sculpture, waiting for the other two sculptures to attack.

Just as a huge palm was about to hit him, Ye Qiu suddenly leaped up, climbing onto the ear of this colossal sculpture.

The colossal sculpture couldn’t see where Ye Qiu was on its ear and its hands randomly grabbed at him.

Ye Qiu kept dodging, clinging closely, which made the colossal sculpture continually shake its body as if dancing on the earth.

The other two colossal sculptures didn’t just stand by; they joined in trying to grab Ye Qiu.

In this way, Ye Qiu kept jumping around the heads of the three colossal sculptures, and with a thunderous roar, the palm of one sculpture, in attempting to hit Ye Qiu and missing, struck another sculpture’s head, bringing it down with great force.

Ye Qiu also followed the falling sculpture to the ground.

His attempt had indeed succeeded. Seeing the sculpture brought down by its companion and the strong attack, Ye Qiu’s lips curled into a smile; his goal was to use the sculptures’ power against each other, using himself as bait. The moment an attack was about to hit, he would swiftly dodge, causing the attack to fall upon another sculpture.

This strategy of using their strength against them reflected Ye Qiu’s prior ideation.

With a loud crash, the sculpture fell, and Ye Qiu prepared to benefit from their strife, but suddenly, the fallen sculpture stood up again.

"Its defensive power is just too freakish!" Ye Qiu couldn’t help but curse. The slap from the sculpture a moment ago felt like it would kill someone even at the legendary level, yet when it struck its companion, the marks left were only slightly deeper than those Ye Qiu had made earlier.

Continuing like this, it was unclear how long it would take to successfully obtain the Crystal Stone from the head of the colossal sculpture.

Ye Qiu felt a headache coming on; the colossal sculptures were indeed difficult to deal with, their bodies entirely covered with that special stone. Unless he turned to Black Flame, it would be difficult to inflict any damage.

Ye Qiu didn’t want to resort to using the power of Black Flame so soon, as it would leave him weakened. In the tomb of the Great Emperor, apart from the dangers here, Ye Qiu didn’t think the other ancient clan disciples were exactly benevolent young men who wouldn’t take advantage of him.

Take Tang Ze of the Tang clan, for instance; Ye Qiu believed that given the chance, this guy would definitely make a move on him.

Boom!

Without time to think further, the colossal sculpture under Ye Qiu had steadied itself and once again lunged at him.

It was an indefatigable, fearless giant puppet, and Ye Qiu once again found himself in a series of relentless attacks by the three colossal sculptures.

As Ye Qiu moved, everywhere he passed was crushed and broken by the stomping of the colossal sculptures.

Previously, some ancient tribe descendants had been secretly sizing up Ye Qiu as he fought the giant sculptures, but with Ye Qiu’s aimless flight, many who were well-hidden were forced into the open.

"You’re as inconsiderate as Ji Lingchen and his lot!" one of the ancient tribe descendants lamented resentfully upon being exposed and attracting the attention of the giant sculpture.

Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to care. He had already realized that there were people secretly watching the battle. Since he hadn’t found a way to deal with the giant sculpture momentarily and was loath to leave, considering the three first-class Crystal Stones, he decided to take his chances.

Resolutely, Ye Qiu made up his mind and charged toward some of the ancient tribe descendants he sensed were hidden, prompting the giant sculpture to continuously slam down its palm.

His intention was to force these people to leave. As for the curses directed at him, if he could obtain a first-class Crystal Stone, he was perfectly willing to endure them. It was all water off a duck’s back, let them be.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a barrage from three giant sculptures, there were no more ancient tribe descendants hidden in the vicinity; all of this was Ye Qiu’s doing. Those who had fled far away cursed that Ye Qiu would be crushed by a giant sculpture.

At that moment, Tang Ze, Tang Hao, and Tang Lu dragged Tang Surou out of the ancient city.

Once they were out of the ancient city, the thudding sounds continued from behind, unmistakably the handiwork of the giant sculptures.

The four stopped a hundred meters from the ancient city and turned around to look back, unable to make out the details inside but could hear continuous vibrations and many shouts of alarm.

"You..." Tang Surou wanted to berate Tang Ze and the others. She glared at them for a while but eventually lowered her hand.

"Su Rou, we’re all doing this for your own good," Tang Ze spoke justifiably, "Ye Qiu entered the Great Emperor’s tomb so that our Tang family could wield the scepter. By using himself as bait for our safety, what he did wasn’t wrong."

Tang Surou remained silent, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. Those were three puppets more troublesome than the legendary realm. Could Ye Qiu really be okay?

"Su Rou, let’s go. I just noticed that families Ji, Mu, and Shi elites already left that broken ancient city and are now heading deeper into the Great Emperor’s tomb. We can’t delay. If the opportunity is seized by these guys, our Tang tribe will forever remain an average ancient tribe, suppressed by the three strongest ancient tribes."

These words touched Tang Surou’s heart as she recalled the hopeful expression of her father, Tang Heshan, who deeply regretted not capturing that opportunity years ago. Now that she was entering the Great Emperor’s tomb, she was determined to seize the chance her father missed.

"Su Rou, let that bumpkin take his chances; maybe he’ll survive," Tang Ze said, trying to hasten Tang Surou along with a word of feigned comfort.

In truth, Tang Ze secretly wished that Ye Qiu would be crushed by the giant sculpture.

Tang Surou gazed back at the ancient city for a while, finally sighing, "I hope you’re alright."

The four slowly walked deeper into the Great Emperor’s tomb.

Ye Qiu had become a harbinger of disaster; wherever he went turned into ruins. Because of Ye Qiu, some ancient tribe descendants who had planned to continue seeking fortune in the ancient city were forced to flee, afraid of being implicated by him.

Ye Qiu’s figure darted back and forth, the giant sculpture closely following his pace, continually launching attacks.

Once Ye Qiu sensed that there were no more ancient tribe descendants hiding around, his actions finally slowed down.

He came to a stop in front of the giant sculpture and said indifferently, "It’s time for me to take the Crystal Stone!"

To avoid revealing how he acquired the Crystal Stone and avoid following in the footsteps of that warrior tribe descendant, Ye Qiu had been playing this act for a long time, all for this moment!
