Chapter 2106: Ancient Clan
The enormous statue suddenly began to move!
It seemed as if it had always been a living creature, merely awakened by the indigenous chants!
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng’s eyes were full of astonishment!
For until now, he had never witnessed such a bizarre scene. A statue moving on its own would have been dismissed as a mere fantasy had he not seen it with his own eyes!
"I never expected you to have such abilities!"
"This is good; it offers some challenge, making the fight more satisfying!"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile, then took the initiative to charge toward the statue.
At that moment, the statue was rushing toward Xiao Zheng at great speed. Once it reached him, its eight tentacles simultaneously launched an attack on Xiao Zheng!
"Bring it on!"
Xiao Zheng shouted, then fiercely threw a punch, attempting to shatter the tentacles of the statue!
However, when his punch landed, the statue’s tentacles were merely repelled, not broken! There wasn’t even a crack on them, which was truly shocking!
"How can it be this tough? With my current punch, even a powerhouse at the peak of the Extraordinary Realm wouldn’t withstand it, right?"
"Just a mere statue, and it can withstand my attack?"
Xiao Zheng’s face showed shock, finding it hard to believe.
But just then, the statue launched another attack.
Xiao Zheng quickly ducked, barely avoiding the statue’s tentacle attack. The tentacle had just grazed his scalp, and if he hadn’t dodged in time, it would have hit him.
"I refuse to believe it!"
"It’s just a statue, but today, I’m going to smash it!"
Xiao Zheng’s face turned fierce, and his aura surged.
This time, he didn’t hold back at all. After continuously dodging the tentacle attacks, he charged to the back of the statue. Then, he brought his fists down heavily, and a deafening explosion echoed in the cave!
The intense sound even caused many of the natives to faint on the spot!
As for the statue, it cracked open in response!
"Ha, what a worthless statue, nothing more than this."
Xiao Zheng looked at the splintering debris, with a flash of disdain in his eyes once more.
However, what he didn’t expect was that inside the statue, there was a hidden puppet. This puppet was shaped entirely like an adult man, without a trace of insect characteristics.
When the statue shattered, the puppet seemed to awaken. Its carved eyes suddenly burst with a strange crimson light.
"This is..."
Xiao Zheng frowned, filled with curiosity.
He didn’t rush to act but stood quietly to the side.
As for the still-conscious natives, upon seeing the puppet appear, their faces were filled with excitement. They began kneeling and bowing in worship.
Clearly, this puppet held a high status in the eyes of the natives.
As time passed, the crimson light in the puppet’s eyes finally faded.
Yet, as the light faded, the puppet seemed to gain life, and within this puppet, Xiao Zheng sensed a powerful soul!
Ever since Xiao Zheng broke through to the Transcendent Realm, he could sense the presence of soul power.
Now, within this puppet, there was an exceptionally powerful soul.
This soul wasn’t always hidden within the puppet but appeared suddenly, as if summoned.
"Who are you?"
A voice suddenly emerged from the puppet’s mouth.
Xiao Zheng’s eyes flashed with surprise once again, not because he was astonished that the puppet could speak, but because it spoke Huaxia language!
"Who are you?"
The puppet asked once more.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng snapped back to reality, suppressing his inner surprise, and coldly laughed, "Don’t worry about who I am. First, tell me who you are."
The two seemed to be speaking in riddles.
The puppet snorted coldly, speaking with a proud tone, "I am Li Wei, from the Witch Clan!"
Li Wei?
Witch Clan?
Xiao Zheng frowned and said, "The Witch Clan was destroyed many years ago. Where do you come from?"
Upon hearing this, the puppet sneered, "The destroyed Witch Clans you speak of were just useless rubbish. Our legitimate Witch Clan moved to the Ancient World thousands of years ago, where you may refer to us as the Ancient Clan!"
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Zheng’s frown deepened.
What Ancient Clan, what Ancient World.
Until now, Xiao Zheng had never even heard of such things.
Especially the word "us" from Li Wei’s mouth, it made Xiao Zheng more vigilant: "The Ancient World you mentioned, where exactly is it?"
"Ha, you want to know the location of the Ancient World? Don’t dream about it, with your inferior lineage, you can never set foot in the Ancient World." Li Wei’s tone was full of arrogance, as if Xiao Zheng was but an insect in his eyes, "You awakened me, and I shall reward you with death!"
"For one with such an inferior lineage, living in the world has no meaning!"
Right after speaking, Li Wei suddenly launched an attack on Xiao Zheng!
Upon seeing this, the cold smile on Xiao Zheng’s face grew even stronger.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Xiao Zheng exchanged a punch with Li Wei. Their confrontation this time was truly remarkable! The enormous shockwave nearly collapsed the entire cave!
Yet, to Li Wei’s utter surprise, in this confrontation with Xiao Zheng, he found himself at a disadvantage!
Just after the brief clash, Li Wei was pushed back over a dozen meters, while Xiao Zheng remained arrogantly standing where he was. Not only did he not retreat, but there wasn’t even a wrinkle on his clothing!
"How is this possible!"
Li Wei was filled with extreme shock.
Fortunately, his current body was just a puppet, showing no change in expression.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed coldly, "What’s so impossible about it? With your garbage, you dare speak about killing me? Ha, if I wanted to kill you, it would be a piece of cake!"
As he finished speaking, a powerful aura instantly permeated the cave!
When Li Wei sensed this aura, he was shocked again: "You, your cultivation has already reached the Half-step Creation realm! Who are you? Such a powerful figure could never arise from the inferior lineage of the outside world!"
"No, why do I sense the aura of the Golden Bone on you?"
Upon hearing the words "Golden Bone," a trace of surprise instantly appeared on Xiao Zheng’s face: "What? You know of the Golden Bone?"
Xiao Zheng’s reaction confirmed Li Wei’s suspicion.
Li Wei then suddenly burst into wild laughter and said, "This is truly a case of all efforts proving fruitless, only to find what I sought effortlessly! My soul had just awakened, yet I found the Golden Bone!"
"Boy! Hand over your Golden Bone, or else I will surely kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s expression gradually darkened!
