Chapter 168: The Display of the Mingshe

Immediately, Ye Xuan, holding the Hammer of the Thunder God, took the lead and entered through the grand gate, with the others following suit.

Inside the bronze gate, it was completely different from the outside, giving the impression of an antique exhibition hall.

The ground was as smooth as a mirror, with a small sun floating overhead, illuminating everything around.

At the same time, stone platforms were orderly placed one after another, each with a statue on top, protected by a layer of glass shield.

The images of these statues corresponded one by one to the mythical beasts depicted on the bronze gate, including the Mingshe, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the Yingzhao, among others.

Xia Mo saw these statues and exclaimed in surprise, “Is this the relic treasure that the mentor mentioned? What are you waiting for?”

However, Qin Kai, who had always had a weak presence, said, “Don’t rush, let’s assess the situation first.”

Qin Kai sensed a familiar power around these statues, somewhat similar to the power he controlled with his spatial pocket, but more mysterious and powerful. He was certain that approaching these statues recklessly would be dangerous.

Due to cosplaying many characters, Xia Mo’s personality had been influenced, but she didn’t falter at a critical moment and refrained from acting recklessly.

On the other hand, a curly-haired Caucasian man from the Eurasian Union couldn’t resist the temptation and reached out towards the glass shield containing the Mingshe statue.

The moment his hand touched the glass shield, his body disappeared instantly, startling everyone present.

An Asian man shouted, “William, where did you go?”

Unfortunately, there was no response. Suddenly, a woman from the Eurasian Union exclaimed, “Harren, look here, William seems to be here!”

People around turned to see William, the curly-haired man, inside the glass shield.

At that moment, William looked around blankly, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

Next, the Mingshe statue inside the glass shield came to life in an instant, emitting a sharp roar within the shield.

Outside the glass shield, the faint sound of the Mingshe’s roar could be heard, and even the glass shield itself began to vibrate.

Inside the glass shield, William’s ears were bleeding from the intense vibrations, screaming in pain.

Subsequently, the Mingshe within the glass shield moved at lightning speed, flapping its four wings on its back and charging towards William, its tail with a barbed hook aimed fiercely at his chest.

The Mingshe statue inside the glass shield was not particularly large, measuring less than a meter in height.

After being revived, it remained the same size, but when William entered the glass shield, he appeared only a few centimeters tall, a stark contrast to the Mingshe.

At that moment of life and death, William finally unleashed his potential, promptly utilizing his abilities.

William roared to the sky, and his body rapidly transformed, growing a layer of black fur, tearing apart his clothes rapidly.

After a few seconds, William’s body completed its transformation, changing from his human form into a massive werewolf shape, standing over three meters tall, with robust limbs, appearing very muscular.

However, within the glass shield, his size still paled in comparison to the Mingshe.

Although he managed to evade the barbed tail of the Mingshe, it struck his body, sending him flying, crashing into the glass container and then onto the ground.

Following that, the four wings on the back of the Mingshe fluttered, rushing towards William. He quickly got up after being thrown, then used his sharp claws to attack the Mingshe.

The werewolf and the Mingshe engaged in a fierce battle. In his transformed state, William’s temperament was much more ferocious, confronting the Mingshe head-on.

The Mingshe didn’t hold back either. If it could speak, it would surely ask William, “In front mythical beasts, what’s the point of pretending to be fierce as a mere little werewolf like you?”

The battle between the Mingshe and the werewolf didn’t last long, as William had already been injured by the Mingshe’s sonic waves, coupled with the inherent gap in their strengths.

In this intense confrontation, it didn’t take long before the werewolf was pierced through by the barbed tail of the Mingshe. Subsequently, the Mingshe opened its mouth and swallowed the entire werewolf.

In the moment the werewolf was devoured, the ferocious Mingshe once again transformed into a statue, while William’s torn clothes suddenly appeared on the ground.

These torn clothes were the ones William had ripped apart during his transformation, now discarded like trash.

The awakened individuals from the three factions looked at the tattered clothes on the ground, feeling a sense of lingering fear. What exactly was happening here?

They had thought that by opening the glass shield, they could obtain the statue inside, perhaps even some treasure. However, instead of finding treasure, they had risked their lives.

The glass shield, appearing as an exhibition stand, was, in reality, more like a fighting arena. The moment one touched the glass, they were shrunk to a minuscule size and thrown into battle with the mythical beasts inside.

William’s strength, in his werewolf form, was not weak at all. Whether in terms of strength, defense, or recovery ability, he was quite formidable.

Unfortunately, faced with the ferocious Mingshe, he ultimately couldn’t turn the tide and became the opponent’s snack.

Ye Xuan and the others looked solemn, with Long Hanjie asking, “What’s going on? My father-in-law never mentioned anything like this to me. Could it be such a situation?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan inquired, “So, what did your father-in-law tell you? What exactly are these relics like?”

Long Hanjie shook his head and said, “Each relic is different, and it’s quite complicated to explain. However, relics like this one, resembling an antique exhibition hall, my father-in-law definitely never mentioned.”

Looking at each glass display, Ye Xuan remarked, “I think I understand the significance of these displays.”

Long Hanjie was puzzled, “What significance?”

Ye Xuan explained slowly, “These displays are actually arenas for life and death battles. Once you enter these arenas, you either kill the beasts inside to obtain corresponding treasures, or you become the beasts’ food. Clearly, that guy named William became the beast’s food.”

Long Hanjie furrowed his brow, “Apart from the current Mingshe, we are unaware of the abilities of the other beasts inside. Presumably, they are all dangerous, and the treasures inside are unknown, making the risk too great.”

However, Ye Xuan interjected, “The other beasts may be unknown and dangerous, but this Mingshe…”

Upon hearing this, Long Hanjie suddenly understood. The Mingshe had already revealed its abilities in the fight with the werewolf William, making it easier to deal with compared to the other mythical beasts.
