Genius Daddy in the City

Qingshan hurriedly shouted: "Qingqing, Brother Ye, darkness is coming, sit over here quickly..."

The rest of the people stood up one after another and gathered around the fire, close together, almost shoulder to shoulder, immediately making a lot of space in the narrow ruined temple.

Even the girl Qingqing is no exception.

Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled face, the little girl suddenly became anxious: "Brother Ye, sit over here quickly..."

next moment!

The cries and roars outside the ruined temple became more and more intense, and then countless running beasts swarmed closer.

Among them are giant monsters with tentacles that look like snails, monsters with only one leg that look like frogs, and white apes as strong as cows...

These beings seemed to be avoiding something, and they rushed into the ruined temple crazily. As if they had not seen Ye Chen and others, they crowded together tightly, and then looked outside with fear on their faces.

Ye Chen followed their gazes and saw endless darkness coming from outside the ruined temple. Countless beasts ran wildly, as if they wanted to avoid it.

However, darkness moves very quickly. When a lone beast falls into the darkness, the sound of chewing minced meat and bones can be heard in the darkness, which is horrifying.

"Soul quicksand?"

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly condensed.

He was very familiar with this scene. He had experienced it on the ghost ship before. There were terrifying beings hidden in the black mist, which specialized in devouring flesh and blood.

Unexpectedly, seeing it here again, it's no wonder that so many wild beasts are panicking and running collectively.

Just when Ye Chen thought darkness would pour into the ruined temple.

But they saw that the darkness suddenly stopped at the door of the ruined temple, and they could no longer move forward, as if there was an invisible door blocking them outside.

"Buzz buzz..."

Fluorescent spots appeared on the stone walls surrounding the ruined temple, and those strange patterns began to squirm, as if each font came to life.

The stone statue behind everyone also glowed with light.

The stone statue seems to be a man with a long beard, holding a halberd, angry eyes, and his body is covered with dust, containing the aura of time and decay.

Immediately afterwards, both Qingshan and the others, as well as all the beasts held in the ruined temple, knelt down in front of the stone statue, as if worshiping and praying.

"Diwei, this is Diwei..."

Ye Chen quietly looked at the stone statue in front of him. After feeling the aura on his body, he couldn't help but be moved by it.

The stone statue can actually emit the majesty of the emperor's throne!

It is this kind of imperial power that blocks the darkness of the outside world from the ruined temple, thus saving all living beings.

He secretly took a breath of air: "Is this a powerful Emperor's throne turned into a stone statue?"

Thinking of this, he slowly stood up and walked towards the stone statue, trying to reach out his hand and touch the stone statue lightly.

"Roar!!!"

At this time, all the savage beasts that were kneeling down to worship were roaring at Ye Chen, seemingly as a warning.

"Brother Ye, you can't do this!"

Qingshan and others also changed their expressions because of this: "This is our patron saint, it must not be desecrated!!!"

Ye Chen had no choice but to give up and return to the original place to sit down, but his mind was constantly active.

The stone statue in front of me must have been a powerful person in the Emperor's Throne Realm during his lifetime, but why did he turn into a stone statue!

How could he appear in this forbidden sea? Could it be that the other party was suppressed here just like himself?

The world passed by little by little, and the ruined temple was extremely quiet. Whether it was Qingshan and others, or the many beasts gathered on the other side, the delicate situation was maintained, and no one took action.

When dawn breaks and the first ray of sunlight shines on the ruined temple, the darkness blocking the ruins outside the temple dissipates.

The herd retreated.

Qingshan and others cheered and walked out of the ruined temple to get water, but they seemed to be accustomed to all this.

Ye Chen followed them. As soon as he left the ruined temple, he saw various bones piled on the grass outside.

It seemed to be left behind last night. From time to time, a vulture would land, pick up a piece of it, and fly away.

Ye Chen walked side by side with Qingshan and asked tentatively: "Does what happened last night happen often?"

"Yes, Brother Ye!"

Qingshan nodded and said solemnly: "As long as it is night, no one can go out and must stay at home. This is the ancestral motto of our village since ancient times..."

Having said this, he couldn't help but warn: "Brother Ye, you also saw the danger last night. The clan elders said that there are terrifying existences in the darkness that can eat people..."

"Then how does your village protect itself in the dark?" Ye Chen asked again.

Qingshan smiled and said: "Because there are stone statues like those in ruined temples. We also have them in our village, and there are quite a few of them. Every time after dark, these stone statues are protecting us..."

Ye Chen nodded secretly, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved, and then said: "Then do you know the origin of these stone statues?"

"I do not know then."

Qingshan scratched his head and said in confusion: "These stone statues have existed for a long time, dating back to when our village was not established..."

Ye Chen couldn't be disappointed.

"correct!"

Qingshan seemed to have remembered something and added: "I seem to have heard the clan elders say that these stone statues are our ancestors."

"Ancestor?"

When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him and thought to himself: "So, this kid is still the descendant of a powerful person in the Emperor's Throne Realm?"

This world can swallow the true essence and true energy of practitioners. Therefore, warriors and practitioners cannot live at all and can only survive by brute force. Logically speaking, warriors in the Emperor's Throne Realm should not be born.

Then the only explanation is that these Emperor Throne Realm experts also come from outside.

After contacting his own experience, he couldn't help but make a bold guess: "It seems that these powerful emperors are also suppressed here by the Immortal Palace..."

As for how long, he didn't know.

The only thing that is clear is that even if a strong person in the Emperor's Throne realm falls here, he will become a useless person and can only survive by relying on brute force.

"It seems that this Immortal Palace is not simple either..."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes: "Judging from the way that person knocked me down into the Forbidden Sea, the other person must be in the late stage of divine transformation, or even higher..."

higher?

That is the Void Refining Period!

Thinking of this, even with Ye Chen's mind, he couldn't help but feel nervous. In an ancient world parallel to the earth, there were actually cultivators in the Void Refining Stage.

Anyone would be surprised.

Of course, this is just his speculation. As for whether it is true, he still doesn't know.

"The plan now is to first understand the Forbidden Sea, and then find a way to find out the whereabouts of Wushuang, and then take him out of here together."

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but pause on Qingshan: "Maybe the clan elder he mentioned should know something..."

At this time, several figures came from a distance, led by a middle-aged man wearing animal skins with powerful arms: "Qingshan, are you okay?"

"father!"

Seeing the person coming, Qingshan was immediately overjoyed, and then he led a few people to greet him. He said excitedly: "Dad, we are all fine, why are you here?"
