My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 184 Statue of God?

After eating and drinking, everyone began to discuss what to do next.

Zhang Hao sorted out the order and said:

"We were all tricked here by the Immortal Order. Regardless of whether this immortal is real or not, the most important thing now is to escape first."

"The first thing we can be sure of is that there must be something strange about this village. Perhaps there are unknown dangers here at night."

"We can't completely trust what the village chief said. We have to go out and confirm it ourselves."

"Let's do this. There are twelve of us in total, four women and eight men. We will form groups of three. After we leave the village, we will look for exits in the four directions of east, south, west and north. If we find one, we will come back here to meet up. The four women can spread out and form groups with the others. It's just right for one person per team."

"Well, do you have any opinions?"

Zhang Hao finished speaking in one breath and then looked at everyone.

Tie Niu and Wu Da both said they didn't care, but Lu Shuang was silent.

She was the only woman in the team.

"I have no objection, but Ling'er and I have always been together so I don't want to be separated. I want to be in the same group with her~"

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"Okay, but you have to be careful~"

Zhang Hao then explained some details, acting like the core of the team, while Tie Niu and Wu Da had no intention of speaking and just listened silently.

……

The sun was high in the sky and the team was ready to set off after finishing preparations inside the house.

For some reason the time passed very quickly here; they had only been discussing for a while when the sun was already high in the sky.

"Where are you all going?"

Zhang Hao pushed open the door and saw the village chief in front of him. His heart skipped a beat and he hesitated for a moment.

"we would like……"

"You want to find an exit, right~"

"Ah? Yes... yes..."

"Ah~ I know you don't believe it, but I can understand~ and I won't stop you~"

"Since you are going on a long journey, take our village's guardian angel with you. It is still dangerous outside the village. I hope our guardian angel can help you."

As the village chief spoke, he handed a strange-looking clay sculpture to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao felt a little resistant in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey on the surface.

He looked down as he started.

However, the statue was extremely ugly, with a body like a bear, a nose like an elephant, eyes like a rhinoceros, a tail like a cow, and legs like a tiger. It was neither fish nor fowl. Its vertical pupils were like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, quietly staring at them.

He doesn't look like a righteous god at all, but rather an evil god.

…………

The team left the village openly, but Zhang Hao just held the statue in his hands, feeling like it was a hot potato, unable to put it down or take it up.

He intended to give it to others, but they all turned their heads away and pretended not to see it.

'Damn it! Damn it! Why me again!'

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, and he glanced at everyone in the team obscurely.

Finally, he looked back and forth between Shen Ming and Lu Shuang, but still gritted his teeth and locked his eyes on Lu Shuang.

The four teams dispersed, and Li Qiaoer, Qin Xiangling and Wu Da formed a group and headed east.

Lu Shuang, Zhang Hao and another young man who looked like a scholar formed a group and headed north, Shen Ming, Tie Niu and a young man headed west, and the rest headed south, agreeing to return to the village before sunset.

…………

On the dark and muddy ground, Shen Ming walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The young man and Tie Niu were walking in front.

They walked for an unknown amount of time, and the air around them became increasingly smelly.

The silent forest seemed as if no one had disturbed it for a long time.

Huge trees beyond imagination stand randomly around, and the unknown plants crawling and entwined on them are equally strange, intertwining with each other like a maze.

Hidden in the corner are sickly flowers as big as human heads, as pale as the face of a dead person.

There were black, purple and brown fruits on the ground, but they didn't dare to try them.

The place was filled with the smell of stale, old, rotting plants, and along with it the complaints of the young man.

"What bad luck! If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in that forest. At least I still have an elixir to take, and I don't have to starve here."

The young master complained while Tie Niu comforted him cheerfully, and neither of them seemed to care much about their surroundings.

But Shen Ming just watched them quietly, watching their tense bodies. They would react immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

"What a strange person! He is so scared inside, but pretends to be indifferent on the surface? Weird~"

"Master is still the best. He looks scared on the surface, but he is actually more cowardly inside~ Hehe~"

Shen Ming's eyes moved and he looked very happy.

However, at this moment, a nervous voice suddenly came from the front!

"Wait! There seems to be something ahead!"

Shen Ming came back to his senses, opened his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that there seemed to be a stone statue there, and a person was kneeling under the statue?

“It…who is it!”

"I don't know, should we go check it out?"

Tie Niu spoke in a nervous voice, while the young master looked as if he was afraid of death. He kept backing away and even tried to hide behind Shen Ming.

"I... I didn't eat... my legs are weak~ How about you go up and shout a few times, Brother Niu? Maybe it's the villagers~"

Tie Niu narrowed his eyes slightly, a thought flashed through his eyes, and then he nodded slightly.

"Okay, you wait here~"

After saying that, Tie Niu walked slowly forward and approached the man cautiously.

When he got closer and could see the man's clothes clearly, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

'This dress! It's exactly the same as the one that knocked on the door last night!'

"Why is he here? What did he mean by the ancient immortal sect... trial... that he muttered in panic last night?"

'Could it be...he knows how to get out!'

He had memorized this man's appearance deeply last night, and he believed that others did the same.

And it is almost certain that this is a region where ghosts and strange magic are rampant, and it is not far from the so-called Immortal Gate. It is even possible... this is already the so-called Immortal Gate!

It's just that everyone knows it tacitly but doesn't say it out loud, and no one knows what everyone is planning.

Tie Niu's heart was pounding as he moved closer to the man's back.

"Hey brother, aren't you cold with your clothes open~"

No one responded...

Shen Ming stood behind and watched quietly, but she was not looking at the man, but the stone statue in front of the man.

The body is like a bear, the nose is like an elephant, the eyes are like a rhino, the tail is like an ox, and the legs are like a tiger... It is exactly the statue that the village chief gave before he left! !

A hint of blue light flashed across Shen Ming's dark eyes, but it only appeared for a moment before being suppressed by another invisible force~

She pouted.

"Damn you, Master. Why should Shen Ming be banned for doing something he did with his own ability?"

…………

Tie Niu approached the man and looked at his face~

His eyes widened in just an instant!

"!!"

But the man looked emaciated, with only a layer of skin and bones on his body, his mouth was wide open and liquid was flowing out of his mouth. He looked very miserable.

The open area on his chest was covered with pitch-black tree roots. Roots, some thick and some thin, grew out of his flesh, took root and sprouted, and produced a fiery red fruit.

Exudes an alluring fragrance~
