Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Unfortunately, he was wearing light armor, so the stone fragments couldn't directly touch his wounds. As soon as they touched his clothes, they seemed to be repelled by some force and couldn't stick to him at all. Instead, they seemed to drift towards the statue.

Huang Wenmin was afraid that the duck that was about to be caught would fly away, so he hurriedly and clumsily put the stone shard back in.

Seeing the statue come back to life for the third time, the gloom that had been hanging over everyone's hearts dissipated considerably.

After all, everyone had just collected some stone skin, and they started to think that since the stone skin could heal wounds, they could collect all the stone skin from the statue next time, and then they could slowly recover by eating and collecting the stone skin, while the statue could only endure the damage. Wouldn't that be a way to slowly wear them down? Water dripping wears away stone, and eventually, the fight would be over.

Thinking of this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted, and they seemed to have their fighting spirit rekindled. They gripped their weapons tightly and continued their fierce attack on the wounds left on the statue.

In an instant, shouts and the clanging of weapons filled the hall once again, and the atmosphere of battle intensified once more.

Lin Yue was a little annoyed at this moment. She nimbly dodged Ju Mang's attacks while frowning.

Now, apart from the unfortunate statue with the broken leg, all the other statues in front of her had some injuries and obvious wounds. How come it was that she had tried attacking the Jumang statue here from at least twenty different angles, yet still couldn't find a way to break through Jumang's defenses?

She even tried poking the palm of Jumang's claw, but it really couldn't be poked! Lin Yue couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Jumang statue doesn't have any weak points at all?

Or is it that my strength is simply too low, and even with these decent-quality daggers, I still can't inflict any real damage on it? So I can only rely on repeatedly using the freezing effect to knock it down and slowly whittle down its health?

But how long will this take? She looked at Jumang's health bar and it seemed like it hadn't moved at all. It was driving her crazy!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Shu was only able to barely poke a few holes with the half-broken Wushen's fine iron knife in his hand, Lin Yue would really want to try exchanging weapons with him.

And so, the group fought back and forth with the statues for quite a while before finally getting their third break.

This time, everyone was like hungry wolves spotting meat, their target extremely clear. The moment the stone skin floated up, it was already being collected by those nearby. Those from slightly farther away swarmed over, thinking they should at least collect all the stone skin, leaving not a single scrap of stone for the statue.

Soon, except for those pieces that had been shattered into dust and were impossible to collect, the rest of the stone skin was swept away by these people.

Seeing that the statues were now frozen in place and no longer covered in stone skin, Xiao Shu, without saying a word, shouldered his fine iron sword and strode over.

He walked up to his statue, circled it twice, examined it carefully, then raised his knife and slashed fiercely at the largest wound, again and again, each strike delivered with full force. The clanging sounds of the blows were particularly loud in the quiet hall.

After hacking for a while, Xiao Shu shook his head helplessly and said with a frustrated look, "It still doesn't work. It doesn't seem to be because of the stone skin. This thing is invincible during rest periods, and I can't hack at it at all."

Alright, since they couldn't cut it down, they decided not to waste their energy. As if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they sat down to the side and skillfully applied stone skin to their wounds, taking the opportunity to recover their strength.

As they applied the compresses, they occasionally gasped for breath. Although they seemed to have found a viable method, the process was still quite physically demanding. While the food they carried in their backpacks could replenish their energy, the physical fatigue wouldn't be easily relieved in a short time.

Just as Lin Yue closed her eyes to rest along with everyone else, the bracelet on her wrist started vibrating again. It had happened once before when she was attacking the statue, but Lin Yue had forgotten about it. Judging from the frequency and feel of the vibration now, it was probably something that her friend had sent directly from the trading interface.

Lin Yue was a little curious, so she opened her eyes, tapped the bracelet, and saw that it was a transaction message sent by Uncle Dong.

Lin Yue opened the trading interface, and her eyes lit up immediately. There were 5 pieces of refined iron displayed in the trading column!

The refined iron appeared to be hard, and under the dim light of the bracelet interface, it shimmered with a faint metallic luster, looking much more advanced than a block of iron.

Lin Yue instantly perked up. Forgetting to ask Liang Dong where the refined iron came from, she thanked him and took it. Then, she stood up abruptly, her movements so exaggerated that everyone else couldn't help but turn their heads.

No wonder she was excited. Lin Yue had been longing to forge the Emei Dagger, but she was just missing this fine iron! Although it was an excellent-level weapon, just like her previous dagger, Lin Yue was still quite looking forward to the Emei Dagger that had not yet been forged after seeing the effect of the Black Divine Iron Blade in Xiao Shu's hand.

If she succeeds, she won't have to worry about exchanging equipment with Xiao Shu anymore.

However, crafting equipment requires a workbench, which is large and bulky, and Lin Yue, despite having many inventory slots, doesn't have the habit of carrying it around. This has stumped her now. After a moment's thought, Lin Yue privately messaged Han Weiyi.

It was definitely the right decision for the young girl not to come along this time. From the moment she started making mushroom soup, even though she was on the platform, she had helped Lin Yue countless times. And now it was the same; as soon as Han Weiyi heard that Lin Yue wanted to borrow the toolkit, she sent it to her without hesitation.

Lin Yue quickly checked the time again. Fortunately, there were still three and a half minutes before the statue launched another attack, which should be enough time to forge the Emei Dagger.

Thinking this to herself, she quickly walked over to Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu, bent down, and whispered a few words to them. Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu nodded knowingly and moved closer to Lin Yue, blocking the view of others with their bodies.

Then, Lin Yue quickly took the materials and workbench out of her bracelet, placed them on the ground, and started working.

He Feihong and his group sat together, and from the moment Lin Yue stood up, they kept a close eye on her movements. As soon as Lin Yue moved, they instinctively looked over.
