Chapter 451: Still an ant trying to shake a tree
Chu Xiaomu came to Chuike Road again.
Following Bao Dianzi's instructions, we walked north for about seventeen or eighteen miles, and sure enough, we saw a stone statue standing on each side of the Kun River a few miles away.
When he saw the statues from afar, he couldn't help but gasp. These... these were not stone statues at all. They were clearly two stone mountains! Two human-shaped stone mountains carved out by human hands!
When you get closer, you can see that both statues are nearly thirty feet tall, and even their heads are four or five feet tall. They stand facing each other with majestic expressions. The one on the east bank holds a huge sword in both hands and stares at the west bank with his head down; the one on the west bank holds a huge axe in both hands and stares at the east bank with his head down slightly.
Chu Xiaomu finally understood that the so-called "double statues looking up" meant to straighten the heads of the two huge stone statues that were as big as mountains and face forward! But he didn't know why they were carved into a posture of bowing their heads. Did it look better this way?
After getting off the horse, he took a closer look at the stone statue on the east side. The huge statue was so majestic that a man and a horse were like ants in front of it. Although his original force was deep, in front of this behemoth, it was like a trickle of water encountering an island reef, unable to move it at all.
However, now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is to try our best.
Fortunately, the head of the statue seems to be carved separately, while the body and the lower part are integrated with the rocks next to it, and are carved along the mountain; the head is carved from a huge stone weighing tens of thousands of tons and placed on the body. Looking at another beast statue on the west bank, the carving method is almost the same.
If the head and the body were a whole piece of stone connected together, unless the four great gods came in person, I'm afraid no one in the world would be able to move it at all.
Chu Xiaomu jumped onto the arm of the East Beast Lord holding the sword. This area was relatively wide and flat, and the bottom was solid, so it was enough for him to support himself and push and turn the stone statue's head.
He found a convenient position to stand and exert force, placed his palms on the head of the stone statue, and slowly released the Force in his body.
He increased the Force little by little from 30%. At first, there was no abnormality at all. Not even a speck of dust fell from the stone statue, let alone raising its head upwards.
Gradually, when the weight reached 70%, the head of the statue finally showed signs of loosening, and gravel and dust began to roll down one by one. However, when I looked down, I found that the intersection of the head and the body was not displaced at all. The big stone was only vibrated by the strong push, but it didn't move at all.
Chu Xiaomu was very happy, thinking that he could finally see some reaction. Although it didn't move, he still had some strength to spare. So he continued to increase the strength of his arms and opened up 80% of his original strength.
The head of the stone statue began to vibrate even more violently, and gravel, stones, and other objects of varying sizes began to fall down, making clattering sounds as they landed beside it.
Chu Xiaomu's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his breathing became heavy, but fortunately his strength was strong enough to support him. He continued to exert his strength, increasing his strength to 90%.
With a loud "click", the head of the stone statue finally rose up several inches. Chu Xiaomu was overjoyed and continued to push with greater force, regardless of the numbness in his arms.
However, the head of the stone statue was only raised a few inches. No matter how he mobilized the Force afterwards, although the statue was shaken continuously, it would not be lifted at all.
Chu Xiaomu was panting and sweating profusely, so he had to stop and rest for a while.
He sat on the huge shoulders of the stone statue to rest, took out some dry food from the cloth bag and ate it, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
I thought that if I were ten feet taller, or if I had more power, I should be able to lift the head of the giant. Or if I put a few long and thick vines on the forehead of the head and pulled it backwards, and then I pushed it from below, maybe I could lift it up...
However, none of these methods worked. Firstly, my Force was still a little weak, and secondly, where could I find a thick and long giant vine? It seemed that I should go back to Bujian Peak and practice Force for a few more months. Maybe I could go back to Zichen Peak and ask Master if she had any good ideas...
While he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard the footsteps of more than a dozen people not far away. The huge stone statue was very close to Chuike Road, about thirty or forty feet away. After his original force was activated, his hearing was sharp, so he naturally heard the abnormal sound several dozen feet away.
The footsteps on the road came from the south to the north. They were definitely not from Bicheng, and of course they couldn't be beast spirits. They could only be from Chisha Country. Thinking that he couldn't move the two stone statues here, he had nothing to do for the time being. Since he had encountered people from Chisha Country, he wanted to see who these people were. If he could kill them, it would be considered as a contribution to Bicheng and the general.
After walking lightly to a big tree beside Chuike Road, not long after, I saw a group of twelve or thirteen people running quickly, and the leader was actually the Black King Kong who had caused so much trouble on the Bujian Peak. The rest of the people also looked strange and ferocious, and they should be the beast spirits of Black Mountain.
One of them looked like an ape, wearing a tattered gray cloth jacket, with red hair all over his head and hands. It was most likely the red-haired ape that injured Wen Gang on this road a few months ago!
Chu Xiaomu thought, you are running so fast, of course you are going north to help Chisha Kingdom deal with Cangmu Kingdom’s army. It’s your bad luck that I ran into you.
He picked up a small stone from the ground and used his Force to hit it. The black diamond was an ancient spirit with great power. He didn't want to be exposed at this time, so he didn't use much force. He also added a layer of wood-phase spiritual power to the Force, so the small stone went away silently.
With a "pop" sound, the red-haired ape knelt down on its right foot and rolled forward.
After rolling five or six times, Black Kong stretched out his arms, grabbed him, and asked, "Red Scar, what are you doing?!" His expression was quite stern.
The red-haired ape was called Red Scar. Although he looked ferocious, he did not dare to look Black King Kong in the eye. He stammered, "My Lord, it seems... it seems that I sprained my ankle, so I fell... I fell down..."
Black King Kong said: "Can we still leave?"
Red Scar nodded hurriedly and said, "Master, I can... I can walk." Unexpectedly, his right foot was seriously injured. He fell down again after walking a few steps. He was in so much pain that his head and face were covered with sweat. I'm afraid his bones were broken. But this guy was very tough. Although he was in great pain, he didn't cry out.
Black King Kong said, "You can't walk just because you sprained your ankle?" He couldn't help but become suspicious and looked around vigilantly.
Hongba said, "I can walk... I can walk..." But he could only hop forward on his left foot and did not dare to put his right foot on the ground.
Black King Kong saw that the other beast spirits were also panting and obviously very tired, so he said, "Everyone stop and rest for a while before continuing on your journey."
Then he said to one of the beast spirits, "Go find some herbs and heal Red Scar's leg."
