Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Her hands remained firmly gripping the Emei thorn, never daring to loosen their grip, ensuring it remained firmly embedded in the Jumang statue. When the statue finally landed, frozen and unable to move, the Emei thorn's blood-sucking ability finally kicked in.

Although Lin Yue herself was not injured, she clearly felt a strange power slowly flowing through her limbs and bones along the Emei thorns.

The moment that power flowed through her body, Lin Yue's spirits were lifted, and the fatigue she had felt from the long battle dissipated considerably.

In stark contrast to Lin Yue's increasingly better condition, the Jumang statue was shrinking more and more drastically as its life force continued to deplete. Every drop of blood transferred seemed to be diminishing its vitality, causing its form to become increasingly thin and frail.

Each time the freeze time ended, the Jumang statue would struggle to stand up from the ground. However, the "Frost Archers" on Lin Yue's shoulders were no pushovers. They coordinated perfectly, timing their attacks flawlessly. Often, before the Jumang statue could even struggle free, the next wave of frost bullets would already be whistling through the air.

Previously, Lin Yue had been trying to find the weakness of the Jumang statue and was worried about running out of energy, so she was careful with her bullets. Every now and then, she would reach out and press down on the heads of the "Frost Archers" to prevent them from firing indiscriminately.

Now that she had finally broken through Jumang's defenses, she was able to unleash her full power, letting the "Frost Archer" do as she pleased. One icy bullet after another flew toward the Jumang statue, leaving icy blue trails, freezing it in place time and time again.

And so, under the relentless attacks of the "Frost Archer," time passed little by little. When all the frost bullets were fired and the "Frost Archer" disappeared, the once majestic Jumang statue had shrunk to about the same size as Lin Yue.

Moreover, as its size continued to shrink, the Jumang statue's defense seemed to decrease little by little. Although the "Frost Archer" was no longer there to assist, the row of "little mushrooms" that Lin Yue had placed on her body could still play a role.

In addition, the green Emei thorns successfully triggered the poisoning effect several times, causing the Jumang statue to shrink continuously until it was about the size of a computer screen.

Then, its entire body began to deform violently, as if performing some kind of ritual. Finally, after a flash of light, the Jumang statue transformed into a glittering golden treasure chest, lying quietly on the ground.

Perhaps spurred on by the golden treasure chest Lin Yue had found, the group fought with noticeably more intensity. They swung their weapons more powerfully, their attacks became faster, and they occasionally shouted encouragement, making the whole scene even more lively.

The moment Lin Yue saw the golden treasure chest, she was overjoyed and instinctively reached for the golden key on her person.

But as soon as she reached out, her gaze swept across the room and she saw the others struggling against the statues, causing her to hesitate. After a moment's thought, she decided to put the treasure chest away first, then grabbed the newly crafted Emei dagger and headed straight for Xiao Bing.

Although these statues were all powerful, they didn't seem to be significantly stronger than the group. Therefore, after several rounds of weakening, everyone could barely manage to deal with the statues in front of them. Thus, once Lin Yue's group finished off the extra person, the situation immediately reversed.

Lin Yue quickly arrived at Xiao Bing's side and joined the battle. She was now wielding the Emei Dagger with great skill, almost like a snake emerging from its hole, stabbing at the statue's vital points with fierce momentum. Each strike was imbued with a sharp aura, and combined with Xiao Bing's extremely fast attacks, the statue quickly showed signs of defeat under their combined assault.

Finally, a few minutes later, the statue in front of Xiao Bing collapsed with a crash, turning into a glittering golden treasure chest.

Immediately afterwards, they rushed towards the statue on Xiaoshu's side. With the experience they had just had, they were even more adept this time, and soon the statue on Xiaoshu's side was also successfully defeated.

Just as the three were about to catch their breath, Lin Yue had already spotted the human-faced, snake-bodied statue still pacing around in circles looking for its target. The man with the broken leg was lying on the ground, unable to move, but the invisibility cloak was about to expire. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, isn't it?

The three exchanged a glance and charged toward the human-faced, snake-bodied statue in perfect unison. After a fierce attack, the statue could not withstand the onslaught and collapsed silently amidst a cloud of dust.

Just as they were collecting their fourth treasure chest, the battle on He Feihong's side reached a fever pitch. Perhaps fearing that Lin Yue and her group would steal the monsters, He Feihong and his companions noticeably increased their attack speed, clearly indicating that they had reached the final decisive moment.

Finally, with a loud shout from He Feihong, he raised his long sword high and then slashed down fiercely at the statue opposite him with all his might. Lin Yue and the others saw that under this fierce slash, the statue's last bit of blood was exhausted, and with a dull thud, it crashed to the ground, turning into a golden treasure chest.

He Feihong's face was filled with barely concealed excitement, his eyes shining brightly. However, before his smile could fully unfold, the entire hall suddenly changed the moment the statue fell to the ground.

The place that was originally the bottomless black abyss first shone with a soft light. The light was initially very weak, like twinkling starlight, but in the blink of an eye, the light became brighter and stronger, illuminating the entire hall.

Immediately afterwards, a door gleaming with a strange light slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. The door looked very mysterious, and there seemed to be some ancient and mysterious runes engraved on it.

Just as everyone looked on in astonishment, a figure slowly walked out of the door.

Who is this?

Lin Yue and the other two unconsciously stood together, back to back, adopting a posture of being ready for battle.

The expressions on He Feihong's group's faces turned strange the moment they saw that figure. There was surprise, doubt, and even a hint of...smugness?

After a moment, He Feihong spoke first, greeting him with a forced smile, "Sir, what brings you here? Our mission hasn't even begun yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his bracelet vibrate. Immediately afterward, Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi next to him also lowered their heads and tapped in the air.
