235: Gate Guardian Statue

At this moment, many people were still fighting the monster.

Those with strong abilities had just finished dealing with the monster.

To conserve strength, they could only wear down the monster.

Time passed during this delay.

When they finished off the monster, they rested for a moment outside the dungeon entrance.

Dealing with this monster was quite draining, so they needed to ensure they were in good condition for what was to come.

As soon as they entered the dungeon entrance, they were disturbed by the sounds made by the Sand Scorpion.

For them, this was going to be a tough battle.

Meanwhile, Xia Qi was resting in an open area.

Xia Qi believed his speed should be significantly faster than other players.

In the short term, no one should be able to catch up to him.

His previous consumption was not small, so he needed to adjust his state.

At the same time, he wanted to gain insight into the combat within this dungeon.

At this very moment, many people outside had already left, looking dejected.

They were eliminated players, some of whom hadn't even defeated the initial monsters.

On the grandstand, General Hu's attention was currently focused on two individuals.

Xia Qi was naturally one of them, and the other was Chu Mubai.

His progress was not much different from Xia Qi's; while Xia Qi was gaining combat insights, he was engaged in the final desperate struggle with the Sand Scorpions.

His killing aura was fully unleashed in this battle.

Even after the last Sand Scorpion was dealt with, he still felt a lingering desire for more.

The difficulty he chose, like Xia Qi, was hell difficulty.

However, his consumption was much greater than Xia Qi's.

Although he had a strong urge deep down, he did not directly enter the temple to continue fighting.

Even though his killing aura was extremely dense at this time, he still restrained his restless heart and rested well.

Currently, in the level 30 group, only their two progresses were the fastest.

At the same time, only they two chose hell difficulty.

However, the further they went, the more the advantage of lower difficulty would become apparent.

After all, the monsters later on would be even stronger, but for lower difficulty monsters, the difference wouldn't be as huge.

However, precisely because of this, the maximum score for all lower difficulties was much lower than for higher difficulties.

General Hu watched the two charging ahead, his face filled with relief.

He truly regarded the two as his successors to be cultivated.

Although Chu Mubai's killing aura was thick, even affecting his own emotions.

However, he was extremely restrained and very measured during combat.

He would not let the killing aura affect his battle.

As for Xia Qi, as the son of an old comrade, General Hu already had a special affection for him.

Now, the strength Xia Qi displayed also made him look at him with new eyes.

This made General Hu even more hopeful for his future.

On Xia Qi's side, he had finished resting at this time.

He had a stronger desire for self-improvement.

If he had already completed his second transfer, perhaps dealing with these monsters would be much simpler.

However, a good class change quest is not that easy to obtain.

Xia Qi stood up from the ground, observed his surroundings, and then walked deeper.

Leaving the open area, further in was a vast complex of buildings.

At the outermost edge of this complex, there were two gigantic statues.

As soon as Xia Qi saw these two statues, he noticed their abnormality.

The surrounding Sand was being drawn towards these statues.

A very faint suction force was surging, and these statues seemed to be alive.

Xia Qi immediately kept his distance from the statues and vigilantly observed his surroundings.

He knew that in this dungeon, every detail could hide a deadly crisis.

One second, two seconds.

A while passed, and nothing happened.

He slowly approached the statues, trying to fathom their secrets.

Just then, the two statues suddenly moved!

Two thick arms formed by Sand extended from the backs of the statues and suddenly grabbed at Xia Qi.

Xia Qi reacted quickly, his body flashing as he dodged the sudden attack.

At the same time, he unleashed a slash, cutting off both large hands completely.

The large hands made of Sand immediately turned into scattered Sand under Xia Qi's slash.

Xia Qi took a deep breath, preparing to attack again.

He knew that to enter this complex of buildings, he had to deal with these two statues.

He quickly observed his surroundings and found that apart from these two statues, no other monsters appeared.

Therefore, he decided to adopt a quick-battle strategy, resolving these two statues in one fell swoop.

His body moved, transforming into an afterimage, and he charged towards one of the statues.

The long sword in his hand glowed brightly, and he swung his sword to cut at the statue.

However, the statue seemed not to fear his attack, as arms reformed from Sand blocked his long sword.

This time, the Sand arms were not cut off directly as before.

When Xia Qi struck the Sand arm, it actually made a crisp sound like metal clashing.

Xia Qi was startled; the statue's defense was unexpectedly so strong.

No, this was not the statue's defense, but the power of the Sand.

Xia Qi clearly felt that after receiving Xia Qi's attack, the arm noticeably weakened.

The originally intact arm began to shed Sand after receiving this attack.

It seemed as if it would completely collapse the next moment.

He quickly adjusted his strategy, using his movement technique to move between the statues, trying to find their weak points.

Wielding the sword in his hand, he continuously stabbed from various directions.

He aimed at various parts of the two statues, constantly wary of the Sand's attacks.

The Sand could not only condense into arms but also transform into various weapons.

At the same time, the arms of the two sets of statues themselves also began to move.

When their arms moved, a large amount of Sand flowed out from the gaps.

And this Sand was also their means of attack.

The Sand flowed in the air like water, yet it constantly attacked Xia Qi like a blade.

It seemed that this Sand had no attack power.

But upon actual contact, Xia Qi understood their terror.

These Sand had the characteristics of Sand, but they were exceptionally sharp.

When Xia Qi attacked the Sand, it was like colliding with a powerful broadsword.

The changes in the Sand, coupled with the combined attacks of the two statue bodies, left Xia Qi somewhat at a loss.

The long sword struck the statue's body, as if piercing into a sea of Sand.

There was even a suction force, trying to swallow the long sword and even Xia Qi.

Continuous attacks in multiple places had no effect.

Instead, the statue's attacks put Xia Qi on the defensive.

However, after an intense battle, Xia Qi finally discovered the statue's weakness—their eyes.

Whenever he attacked the statue's eyes, the statue's movements would become much slower.

Moreover, they would not block other parts, but the eyes were an exception.
