"Do not touch these stones. Divine might is stored within them — the divine powers of gods and demons linger in them! " Shen Mu hastily stopped. But at that moment he saw, within the darkness and the grey fog, a colossal body walking slowly, coming this way.
The body propped up heaven and stood upon the earth. It came before them, and they could see only legs of unimaginable thickness blotting out their view, not the upper half. Shen Mu raised his head, the divine light of his eyes shining upward, and gradually made out a broad chest in the dark air; looking higher still, he saw the mighty face of a god or demon.
"A stone statue! " Shen Mu's scalp went numb.
A stone statue walking in the darkness and the grey fog!
The Flood Dragon King God too shuddered with dread. Before them stood a stone statue of incomparable bulk, its towering immensity beyond imagining! And more than that — this stone statue was walking in the darkness!
"Ma-ha. .
. " The jiao dragons upon Shen Mu's body quailed and shrank their heads. "Do not cry out. " The Dragon Qilin's face was ashen. In a small voice he said, "If you wake him, he will ride you off to kill people.
He rode me for a whole night.
.
. " Suddenly the stone statue seemed to hear something.
It bent down, and a huge face squeezed through the darkness and appeared before Shen Mu and the others.
Snow Fox rolled her eyes white, flopped to the ground with a thud, and swooned dead away, her four legs stretched out stiff and straight, her tail standing straight up as well.
Seeing this, the other jiao dragons and the Dragon Qilin hastily did the same, flopping down one after another and playing dead.
"Young Master. .
. " Snow Fox, eyes squinted shut, poked Shen Mu.
Shen Mu hesitated a moment, then fell flat on his back, tongue lolling out, body rigid, face livid — a most pitiful sight in death.
