C12 The Dancing Birds Have Been Troubled for a Long Time

Then Situ Pengcheng saw the dark clouds in the distant sky begin to accelerate, quickly enveloping him and the stone giant in darkness.

The stone giant didn't care about the weather. He was already prepared to end Situ Pengcheng's life in the next attack.

Situ Pengcheng also didn't have the strength to care about the weather. Right now, he couldn't care about anything at all. He could only reluctantly open his eyes and look at the final scene of his life.

"No matter how hard one tries, they still have to obey the Divine Decree in the end."

Situ Pengcheng suddenly felt that he had heard a strange sentence. Then, he felt a damp and cold feeling on his face. Only then did he realize that heavy rain had begun to fall from the sky.

Situ Pengcheng couldn't move. He only felt that since he was about to die, there was no difference in getting his entire body wet. He stared blankly at the clouds in the sky, letting the rain pour down on his body.

But at this moment, an inconceivable scene occurred. The stone giant that was about to attack slowed down at this moment. The flames on its body were extinguished by the rain, and waves of white smoke rose around its body. Soon after, the surface of its body began to crack, and pieces of stone fell off from the stone giant's body, falling to the ground.

In just one rain, the stone giant had collapsed, and the threat had been removed. As for Situ Pengcheng, he was lying on the ground, his face filled with doubt. He had fallen unconscious because he had relaxed his mind.

"How could a giant demon statue be defeated by a human!?"

"Just as I said, that human protected by the Demi survived the competition with the demon statue."

Located in a corner of a stone castle on a small hill, The witch was roaring at the Earth Goddess who had brought the news of the defeat of the Giant Golem. However, the Earth Mother God was not angry even after being treated like this. She only told the witch about what had happened a few days ago.

"Does this count as being defeated by humans? Is it not the Demis behind him who is causing trouble? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that a heavy rain would save that person while the Demon Image would be completely destroyed?"

I didn't sense the Demis behind him making a move, and it's always raining at this time of the year. "

"Even so, this result still surprises me. I never thought that as a God, not only would you not be able to save my Grau, even the guard you made would be defeated by a mere human"

"For a long time, humans have always given me many surprises. I also believe that they won't be forever trapped by the same trick"

"If humans are really as excellent as you say, I should have already found a way to save Gru"

"Lushaka, I've said it many times. It's no longer your Gru. There's no way to turn a fish that isn't Gru back into Gru."

"Enough, stop talking! I'm sick of listening to that! " I'll find another way to save Gru now! "

The witch interrupted the Earth Mother. Every time she talked about this topic, she felt as if her heart had been cut.

The Earth Mother did not intend to continue sprinkling salt on the witch's wound. Instead, she changed the topic back to the original direction.

"Are you still not going to do anything to this person?"

"Nothing much to do, nothing much. What's there to say? He's just a person who relies on luck. What's there to care about?"

"He's only one step away from here."

"But he still has the bronze statue in front of him, even if this guardian doesn't come in handy I already have more power than them "

"Since you're so confident, I won't say anymore, I just hope you won't regret your decision"

"I haven't done anything that makes me regret ever since Gru became like this."

The witch angrily ended the conversation with the Earth Mother and left the room. The only thing left in the empty room was the Earth Mother's spirit.

"A hundred years ago, this girl's ancestor fascinated me. They knew how to do the right thing at the most painful time, but no one knew when people would rather jump into an unsolvable swamp than open their eyes and see the truth in front of them. They have already forgotten that finding the problem before solving the problem is the key."

The Earth Mother God muttered to herself as her gaze once again drifted into the distance. She watched as Situ Pengcheng, who had luckily escaped disaster, was recuperating, and the dancing bird that was taking care of Situ Pengcheng by the side.

"The people from afar still haven't given up on fighting against fate. If you appeared in front of a child who is immersed in an unsolvable situation and doesn't even want to see the nature of the problem clearly, what kind of scene would that be? " If I can bring you some surprise because of this, then it wouldn't be in vain for me to send down a heavy rain to save your life. "

Situ Pengcheng didn't know that even though he was unconscious, his dream of returning to his home was still lingering in his heart. He wanted to fulfill his promise and return to his home. He only wanted to draw a few words for this long journey.

However, regardless of whether the humans were willing or not, there was no way for the people who were favored by the gods to escape. It didn't matter whether it was Situ Pengcheng or the witches.

Situ Pengcheng sat beside the bonfire, his eyes staring straight at the burning red stone in the flames.

Since that day, Situ Pengcheng had been saved from the heavy rain and had rested for a long time. Because he was injured, he could only rely on dancing birds to deliver food and water to live. During this period of time, whenever he closed his eyes, he would remember the scene of the stone giant collapsing in front of him.

Situ Pengcheng knew that there was the power of a divine spirit in the underworld that was helping him overcome this crisis, but he still couldn't let go of the stone giant's collapse. He wanted to know the reason behind it.

Thus, when his injuries were slightly better, Situ Pengcheng began a series of experiments.

Situ Pengcheng heated several types of stones and discovered that some of them would melt, some would become transparent, and some would be burned red. Each type of stone had its own special characteristics, and it wasn't just stones.

In addition, Situ Pengcheng also discovered that after heating up the stones and cooling them down, they would easily crack. This reminded him of the scene of the village elders mining copper mines in the past, and it also made him feel even more reverence towards the mysteries of the world.

Situ Pengcheng roughly categorized all kinds of materials. They were like water that would evaporate, like oil that would burn, like wood that would turn into ashes, and like rocks that would be burned red and then shatter. They were like copper that would liquefy.

Situ Pengcheng classified the materials that were easy to obtain, although he felt that there were still many parts of this method that he did not understand. For example, the Falling Star Saber in his hand did not belong to any category.

Situ Pengcheng, who had made his interest piqued, still wanted to continue discussing this topic, but his injuries were almost healed. He had to complete his mission first, and he believed that he would have plenty of time to realize the rest of his thoughts when he returned home.

Thus, after a few days of rest and recuperation, Situ Pengcheng once again stepped onto the road to the small mountain. Now that the Demon Image had been defeated, climbing up this small mountain was a simple matter.

They set off in the morning. When the sun was about to set, Situ Pengcheng had already arrived outside the stone castle's gate.

This stone building was massive and magnificent. Situ Pengcheng didn't know how much manpower was needed to build such a magnificent building, because in this era, the size of a temple was inseparable from the amount of manpower available during farming. The size of a temple symbolized the size of a tribe's strength.

However, just as Situ Pengcheng was surprised by the magnificence of the stone castle, the wooden door of the stone castle opened, and several human-shaped objects walked out.

These were several statues that seemed to be made of copper, and each of them had different expressions on their faces. Each of these statues had a short knife and a shield in their hands, and they looked incomparably ferocious.

Situ Pengcheng wasn't sure if these were humans or other existences with intelligence. The only thing he knew was that these people weren't good people, so he immediately pulled out his Falling Star Saber to be on guard.

"This is Lushaka's land. Step down! Step down! Retreat!"

The strange figure suddenly spoke in human language, making Situ Pengcheng very nervous. He didn't know what to do, because the original plan was to threaten the witch's beloved fish and force her to submit. But if he was seen through here, it would be meaningless.

"I have something to ask Lushaka, can you move aside?"

"If you don't retreat, kill!"

Situ Pengcheng decided to at least try entering the stone castle first. Who knew that before he could finish speaking, a few figures had already rushed over with sabers in their hands.

Compared to their cumbersome exterior, the speed of the bronze statues was so fast that Situ Pengcheng was completely unprepared. In his haste, he could only use the Falling Star Saber to block them head on.

However, the strength of his opponent was beyond his imagination. After Situ Pengcheng was struck head-on, he was forced back more than ten steps before he could stabilize his stance, preventing his opponent from catching a gap in his stance.

But even so, Situ Pengcheng still felt his hands go numb. He had already made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't fight the other party head on. Otherwise, even if he didn't have a dead arm, he would still be crippled.

At this moment, Situ Pengcheng noticed that the weapon in his opponent's hand had an additional gap because of the conflict just now. This made him quickly look at the Falling Star Saber. Because he knew that if there was an accident in the weapon during a battle, it would definitely be a great disadvantage.

Fortunately, the Falling Star Saber had not been damaged at all, and this also made Situ Pengcheng think of a way to deal with these bronze statues.

4. Situ Pengcheng's coming of age gift.

The bronze statues guarded the entrance to the stone castle. Situ Pengcheng understood that even if he relied on the hardness of the Falling Star Blade in his hand, he wouldn't be able to kill these statues with a single strike. Once the other statues surrounded him, he would have nowhere to run.

However, Situ Pengcheng was not without thoughts. A few days ago, he had already understood that some matter would become soft once heated. Copper was one of them. If he could think of a way to heat up the weapon in the other party's hand, he might be able to cut it in half and avoid being surrounded.

The problem was, what method should he use to make the other party's weapon heat up? This was obviously an impossible task. The other party would not let the weapon in his hand heat up.

Situ Pengcheng was somewhat distressed by this, but then he thought about how he could use ashes to light up the dried leaves when he drilled wood for fire. He thought that perhaps he could also heat up the weapon in his hand and transmit the heat to the other party's weapon to achieve the same effect.

Since he already had an idea, Situ Pengcheng immediately shattered the oil jar in his bag onto the ground. The Falling Star Saber forcefully slashed across the ground, causing sparks to fly everywhere. In just an instant, the oil on the ground had already been ignited.

It wasn't that the bronze statue didn't understand the danger of fire. When it encountered Situ Pengcheng's self-combustion action, it immediately retreated a distance. However, Situ Pengcheng completely ignored the other party's actions. He only minded his own business and threw the fuel into the fire as he hurriedly heated up the Falling Star Saber in his hand.

The heating process was very smooth, but there was another problem. After being heated, the temperature of the entire saber would be too high to hold. For this reason, Situ Pengcheng specially made a wooden hilt for the Falling Star Saber, and carefully only heated the front part of the Falling Star Saber.

After the weapon processing was completed, Situ Pengcheng once again stepped into the attack range of the bronze statue.

The moment Situ Pengcheng stepped into the attack range of the bronze statue, the heavy bronze statue had already rushed at Situ Pengcheng at an unimaginable speed, slashing down with its saber.

The Falling Star Saber and the bronze saber came into contact. The enormous force still shook Situ Pengcheng's hands until they became numb. However, after the processing just now, the Falling Star Saber, which had been burned to the point of emitting a faint light, displayed its effect as Situ Pengcheng had imagined. It cut open the bronze saber from the middle as if it were cutting through tree bark. Then, with a bang, the blade of the bronze saber had already fallen to the ground.

Without the bronze blade as an attack method, the threat that this bronze statue posed was much less. Situ Pengcheng did not continue to fight. Instead, he switched to another position and used the same method to cut off the weapons in the hands of the other bronze statues.
