Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 86 Angel Princess Statue
At first glance, it resembles a giant steel statue. Although it is unknown how many years have passed, the statue's posture remains strong, as if it is guarding something.

Su Yu's gaze lingered on the statue for a moment, a faint unease creeping into his heart.

Perhaps this statue is the guardian deity of this place; however, the temple now seems to be filled with an eerie atmosphere, and Su Yu decided not to go any further and wanted to leave.

He understood that courting death would lead to his demise.

"woooooo"

Suddenly, he felt a chilling aura approaching. Su Yu immediately became alert and scanned his surroundings.

Invisible to the naked eye, but clearly perceptible as wisps of gray light floated around the temple, gradually coalescing into a blurry form.

Sure enough, not long after, several evil spirits slowly emerged from the shadows.

Their bodies were dressed in strange and ornate clothing, somewhat like priestly robes, and were a translucent gray. Their faces were distorted, and their eyes gleamed with a scarlet light, as if filled with resentment and pain. A thick, fishy stench permeated the air.

Feeling a slight unease, Su Yu reached out and pointed.

"[Blazing Beam]!"

With a "whoosh," a white light flashed. After numerous battles, his movements were swift and precise. The nearest evil spirit shuddered and turned into a wisp of gray smoke.

The wailing intensified, and the evil spirits let out piercing screams as they pounced.

"space!"

The door opened instantly, and the two evil spirits vanished almost simultaneously.
"[Blazing Beam]!"

With a "poof," the last evil spirit turned into a wisp of gray smoke.

After the battle ended, Su Yu was slightly out of breath, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked around to make sure no more evil spirits appeared before he relaxed his vigilance.

However, he was still filled with doubts—why had the temple become like this? Why were there evil spirits lurking here?
He walked up to the damaged statue and examined it closely.

The base of the statue was engraved with some ancient characters, which were already blurred. Su Yu looked at them and shook his head. They were neither Ying language nor Fa language.

With a sudden thought, he reached out and touched the base.

In the space, a thin book was quickly opened, revealing words.

"besides!"

There are murals and texts on the walls. The artist painted a large mural with a sentimental touch. The long time has faded the paint, and it looks very blurry in the dim light, but you can still tell that it is praising certain events.

He wrote everything down. After he finished walking around, Su Yu sighed inwardly. He couldn't read the characters, but he could tell from the murals that this temple had once protected peace.

However, as time passed, everything disappeared. Those evil spirits were perhaps the souls of the dead who once prayed here, unable to find peace for some reason, and eventually turned into vengeful spirits.

"Ugh!"

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Su Yu's heart.

He stood there stunned for a long time before beginning to collect his wealth.

The most valuable things about these newly reclaimed islands were these historical relics, something even middle school students know.

The large tapestry was tattered beyond recognition, but the walls were decorated with gold and silver carvings, and there was a gold candlestick under each column, as well as a gold plate on the altar.

"It's pure gold! They're so rich!"

It no longer has much antique value, but the gold plate alone weighs about 1.5 pounds, and the silver cutlery for communion is also stored in the space.

"What is this? An angel statue?"

This is a very small silver statue of a young girl in a praying pose. It is not expensive, but its eyes are two tiny blue sapphires.

Near the angel girl statue, there is also a necklace.

"A moonstone necklace?"

Although moonstone is not a top-tier gemstone, this one is of pure quality and should be quite valuable.

Looking around at the same income space, I didn't see anything to collect.

"I'll take your things and clean them for you too!" Su Yu took out some materials and began setting up a magic array according to the ritual he remembered. He closed his eyes expressionlessly, chanting incantations softly, and the materials in his hands emitted a faint light.

This is not some mysterious magic circle; it's just the simplest "positive energy ritual," a variant of the [Blazing Beam].

As the white light spread, the faint murmurs gradually disappeared, replaced by an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.

Su Yu knew that the ceremony had succeeded. As the ceremony ended, he felt a wave of exhaustion. He took one last look at the statue and then turned to leave.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his back, as if draping him in a layer of golden light.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the temple statue trembled slightly, and a faint glow gradually appeared on its surface. Although it was weak, it was real and tangible.

Immediately afterwards, something in the distance seemed to resonate, and a low rumble resounded.

"Snapped"

Su Yu paused, stepping on a dry branch. He didn't notice it because he caught a very faint sound, which seemed to be a roar, or even the sound of fighting.

Almost instantly, Su Yu reacted, leaping onto a rock and looking in the direction of the sound, carefully making his way to the location.

As the fog was gradually dispelled by the firelight, a camp appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

"Is this where the Song family first set up camp?" Su Yu looked around and, upon discovering the camp, also saw thick smoke rising from it.

As they got closer, in addition to the thick smoke rising from the walls, they could also hear shouts of killing.

Around them, there were at least twenty large ships moored. Because they were still far away, their sails and flags were not raised high due to the storm, and it was impossible to tell which ship they belonged to just by looking at them.

But the highlight on the map is right ahead!
Thinking about seeing her father soon, Su Yu felt a pang of anxiety, as if some waves were rising in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Before their awakening, the natives had not seen their fathers for many years.

After awakening, the father had already gone to sea.

So many years have passed, and my memories of that man have faded somewhat.

But he still vividly remembers one scene: the broad back of a man walking ahead under the streetlights near dusk.

The sense of security it gave him when he was young has not completely disappeared even today.

"Is this how the natives themselves feel?"

Su Yu's eyes flashed, and he came back to his senses. In the past, he could reminisce in his spare time, but now the situation on the island was not good.

Such commotion indicates that at least two sides are at war on the island.

One of them, needless to say, is the Song family.

It's hard to say who the other party is, but it could be the island's evil spirit, or more likely, the person behind the scenes who released the evil spirit and led it into the great storm.

The big boss behind the scenes may not show up, but if it really is one of their subordinates who came to the island, there must be quite a few of them.

The other party probably wanted to kill him, a bloodline holder, severely damage the Song family's maritime power, and take over the Song family's maritime assets as well.
"I just want to save my father." Su Yu's eyes darkened. Captain Song Shaoying's judgment and actions were not wrong, but as an individual, he was not prepared to forgive him.

Besides, I'm just a novice professional, what makes me think I can turn the tide?
Don't be too arrogant.

"It's not human?"

When they arrived nearby, they came to a rock and saw clearly the two sides fighting. Su Yu was somewhat surprised.

The scene he witnessed was not the same as what he had guessed.

The campsite was also a ruin, which looked like a huge palace.

One side in the battle was clearly human.

The other party, while not a ghost, is certainly not a living person either!
"Are these terracotta figures and megalithic statues?"

"The style is still a bit strange!"
