Anja go assist them, Fonhel murmured.
Understood, Anja replied, her figure darting forth.
She approached one of the Greystone men and delivered a powerful punch.
Bang.
A dull thud resonated as a tremendous force erupted, causing spiderweblike cracks to appear in the Greystone man's abdomen, which caved in.
The greystone giant glanced down at its abdomen and swung its fist towards Anja.
The sound of wind whooshed past.
Anja crouched, employing her agility to evade the blow, springing from the ground, her right leg lashed out, striking the head of the stone figure like a heavy iron whip.
Boom.
In the next moment, the entire head of the stone being exploded, its body disintegrating into fragments scattered across the ground.
Without a moment's pause, after vanquishing the stone figure before her, Anja charged toward the next foe.
The attribute of aggression exhilarated Anja.
A smile of excitement gracing her lips.
Approaching the next stone golem, her fists fell like a relentless downpour.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The golem's body shattered rapidly, creating a series of deep craters.
With a sweeping kick, she severed the golem's legs, causing it to topple forward.
Seizing the moment, Anjhao pivoted and delivered an elbow strike, once again shattering the golem's head.
She pressed on towards a next adversary.
From a distance, Kuiong and his companions watched in astonishment as Anja moved swiftly across the battlefield, pulverizing stone with her fists, swallowing hard in disbelief.
They had presumed that among Fong house guards, this orc girl would be the most fragile.
Yet to their surprise, she exhibited a combat prowess that far surpassed their expectations.
Bordering on the frenzy, even the black armored skeletal hero did not demonstrate the same level of skill and rhythm as Ana.
Boss, can fists really shatter stone? One subordinate murmured, "The clang of axes and spiked clubs striking the stone golems resonated.
Yet witnessing someone break rock with mere fists was indeed a novel experience.
Silence.
" Huhong shot a glare at his subordinate, redirecting his focus back to the skirmish.
With a resounding thud, the skeletal dragon crushed the last of the remaining clay golems beneath its foot, plunging the arena into an abrupt silence.
These stone beings proved more formidable than ordinary creatures.
Once transformed into boulders, they've barreled through all in their path like bowling balls.
If such boulders could be summoned to fight for them, it would indeed be an excellent strategy to breach enemy formations.
Clear the battlefield, commanded Hian, as the undead soldiers commence their task, gathering the fallen items from the clay golems and the equipment of their own slain warriors.
Chapter 323, the shape shifter, my lord.
These are the items dropped by the stone beings.
Blacks sword respectfully presented the treasures.
Marks of the earth.
22.
Marks of Battle 15.
Essence of Destruction.
Five.
Essence of the Abyss.
Three.
The glac stone beings were akin to stone elementals.
Upon their demise, they yielded an array of rare materials.
The value of these materials far surpasses that of ordinary equipment.
Is everything all right? Anya Fong Hao inquired, casting a glance at Ana.
All good? Anya replied, shaking her fists confidently.
Fong Hao nodded, noticing the tiger claws adorning Anya<unk>s hands.
When the opportunity arises, it would be prudent to equip Anya with superior gear.
Hi Xiang, how goes on your end? Fun Hao called to the rear of the formation.
Hiangs team had sustained some injuries, but they were tending to their wounds.
My lord, it is not a grave matter.
A few individuals have sustained minor injuries, declared loudly.
The majority of the frontline combat had been handled by the undead and Anya with the mountain bandits merely providing assistance.
As such, the wounds were light and there were no fatalities.
All right, you all remain here on guard.
Should anything arise, come and inform us," Fongo commanded directly.
Taking Hiang and his crew along was not intended for them to engage in battle.
These mountain bandits would hardly contribute any significant combat power.
Were it not for their route leading to the next area, the mountain bandit camp, Hiong<unk>s group, would likely have been left behind.
Oh, understood, my lord.
Hiang nodded repeatedly, feeling a surge of secret delight at being spared from further conflict.
After briefing Hiang, Fongghao ordered the group to advance.
Once the glac stone beings were vanquished, the path ahead became conspicuously vacant.
As the large party traversed the ground, they approached a cliff face adorned with peculiar carvings, symbols, or perhaps characters of a bygone era.
Possessing the identity of a traveler, Fongo should, in theory, comprehend the majority of the scripts from various races within this world.
However, the inscriptions on the wall eluded his understanding, possibly being mere special symbols or belonging to a distinct realm altogether.
As they walked along the cliff, the symbols began to morph into bar leaves depicting a certain ritual.
Albeit some areas were eroded and indistinct.
Yet, the remnants still conveyed a narrative of beings offering tributes in a grand ceremony.
The final scene of the bar leaf illustrated the successful culmination of the ritual, summoning a figure with immense wings, a deity, perhaps.
The carving was somewhat crude, yet it was discernible that the form resembled that of a human equipped with colossal wings.
Funo, if those stone beings were to roll down as stone's spheres, wouldn't they topple us all? Anya pondered regarding the narrowing pathway with concern.
Whose side are you truly on? Fong retorted with a hint of exasperation.
It's a pity those stone beings didn't te perform better, she mused.
Indeed, those stone beings were rather clumsy.
Yet there s a certain charm to their foolishness," she added with a chuckle.
"You're the one who dealt the most damage, yet you call them adorable.
" Fong Hao and the others engaged in hush conversation as the group continued their advance.
At the end of the relief sculpture, there lay no further path, but rather a meticulously huned square stone cave reminiscent of a door frame or the entrance to a tomb.
You all wait outside.
I will take two individuals inside to investigate.
Fong Hao declared, selecting several skeletal warriors before preparing to enter the cave.
Just as one foot crossed the threshold, a sudden shout echoed from behind.
Fongghao, something has happened behind us.
Turning around, they saw the swift approach of Gray Bear.
Addressing Black Sword, he said, "Fonggho, those stone men have appeared again.
You must go check it out.
" All present paused in astonishment at Gray Bear's words.
Gray Bear, are you speaking to me? Black sword queried.
In contrast, Funghow issued a direct command, "Eliminate her.
" With that, the skeletal warriors surrounding them sprang into action, raising their one-handed swords to strike at Gray Bear.
She swiftly evaded, her eyes widened in surprise as she beheld the talking skeletal bird.
In a flash, black sword also acted, his black sword slicing across gray bear s chest, leaving a long narrow gash.
Instead of blood, a viscous black sludge oozed from the wound.
The realization that the fluid was not blood further convinced everyone that the figure before them was not gay bear.
Kill her quickly.
Fungho urged once more.
The skeletons encircled Gray Bear and commenced their assault.
This shape-shifting foe, it seemed, possessed limited offensive capability with combat prowess only at the level of a seventh or eighth tier soldier.
Surrounded by the undead skeletons, it was swiftly dispatched, transforming into a featureless black humanoid corpse that gradually melted away, vanishing from sight.
