Miler, who has a system for giving up

We gripped our weapons tightly, not daring to relax our guard in the slightest.

Everyone was on high alert, their muscles were tense, and every nerve was on edge.

Our eyes, sharp as eagles, scanned our surroundings, leaving no corner unchecked for potential danger.

I know that only by defeating the enemies in the castle can I uncover the truth behind that enormous, mysterious conspiracy.

This conspiracy shrouded the entire demon race, causing countless innocent lives to be persecuted.

We bear the mission of seeking justice for those wronged demons, and we must not back down.

In this tense atmosphere, time seemed to stand still.

We held our breath and stood still like statues, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the enemy who was about to surface.

Time slips away like sand in an hourglass, second by second. The surroundings seem to be shrouded in the silence of death, with only the sound of our heartbeats booming in our ears, deafening like the beating of drums.

However, just as we were on high alert, preparing to defend against the enemy's attack, something even more unexpected happened—those statues that had been seemingly asleep suddenly began to move without warning!

Their movements are fluid and graceful, like spirits imbued with life.

These statues guard the towering, imposing figures, like war gods descending to earth. Their armor gleams with a chilling light, and the weapons in their hands inspire awe.

Their actions caught us off guard, and the already tense atmosphere instantly became as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on an egg.

We stared at the statues in fear, astonished to find that they seemed to be controlled by some mysterious command.

No matter where we flee, they will follow us like a shadow, giving us no chance to catch our breath.

They slowly emerged from the endless darkness, like ghosts, sending chills down one's spine.

These statues are numerous, and each one has a ferocious face, like a demon, holding a weapon.

We stared at them with tense anticipation, silently praying that we would get through this safely.

I thought smashing those statues would be a piece of cake, but to my surprise, they seemed to be indestructible.

No matter how hard we hit them, the statues would be restored to their original state in an instant.

Just when we were being overwhelmed and helpless by the statue guards, Qin Yimeng, who had always been taciturn but was very knowledgeable about mechanisms, suddenly shouted: "I have discovered that there are mechanisms at the joints of these statue guards!"

This shout was like a bolt of lightning in the dark night sky, cleaving through the suffocating atmosphere of oppression.

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and their previously listless and despairing emotions were instantly ignited.

Everyone began to work together, focusing all their attacks like a storm on the joints guarded by the statue.

In an instant, the flashing of swords and the deafening shouts of battle filled the air, making the whole scene incredibly thrilling.

As the attack continued, some of the statues began to show signs of loosening at their joints.

This was like a ray of dawn before sunrise, giving us hope for victory, and confidence surged into our hearts like a tide.

However, just as we were about to break through the statue's rock-solid joints, the statue seemed to possess keen insight and sensed our intentions.

They immediately intensified their attack like a storm, attempting to stop us from continuing to attack their steel-hard joints.

The statue guards' counterattack was like a tiger descending a mountain, extremely fierce, and the pressure on us suddenly increased as if Mount Tai were crushing an egg.

But at this moment, we had no way out. We could only grit our teeth and, like steel warriors, continue to wage a thrilling and desperate battle against the statue's guardians.

In this earth-shattering, ghost-weeping melee, I was engaged in a fierce battle with the other statue guards when suddenly, a cold light flashed like lightning. I felt as if my body had been struck hard by a heavy hammer, and a surge of intense pain rushed over me like a tidal wave.

I never expected that the hidden weapons guarded by this statue would be so powerful that they could actually hurt me. It seems that the person who made these hidden weapons must have unfathomable cultivation, far exceeding my current cultivation level in the human realm.

I looked closely and realized that the statue's hidden weapon had struck my calf like a venomous snake. I staggered, my body swaying like a candle in the wind, and I almost fell to the ground.

Just as my life hung in the balance, several figures flashed past me like shooting stars. It turned out that Qin Yimeng and Han Heng had appeared like divine soldiers and intervened in time to block the statue guardian's storm-like attack for me.

A surge of overwhelming emotion welled up within me, while at the same time I felt deep regret for my negligence, as if a thousand arrows were piercing my heart.

However, at this critical moment, I had no time to think things through.

The situation we face is extremely urgent; any hesitation could plunge us into an abyss of no return.

Therefore, I made a quick decision and acted swiftly with my companions to deal with this sudden crisis.

After a brief adjustment, our tacit understanding gradually became apparent.

Everyone clearly understood their responsibilities and tasks, and they cooperated seamlessly with each other.

Faced with those tall and imposing statues, we were not intimidated by their appearance, but calmly observed their every move, looking for their flaws and weaknesses.

Although these statues are enormous, they move relatively slowly.

This gave us an opportunity, which we cleverly used to constantly move among them and skillfully dodge their attacks.

At the same time, we are also looking for the right opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to them.

After a fierce battle, we finally found the statue's fatal weakness.

We concentrated our firepower and launched a fierce attack on them. Finally, several of the statues, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed to the ground with a crash, raising a cloud of dust.

However, the statues guarding them were as solid as steel, unmoved, seemingly without the slightest fear or hesitation.

Faced with such a formidable foe, we did not give up easily, but instead fought a thrilling and fierce battle with them with the perseverance of warriors.

After a long and arduous struggle, we have finally made some hard-won progress.

At this moment, only a handful of statues remained, stubbornly putting up a last stand.

Just as I was feeling somewhat exhausted, my little darling's clear and melodious voice suddenly rang in my ears like heavenly music: "Master, I have a brilliant plan! You can try using your divine sense to tightly wrap one of the statue guards like a net, and then easily put it into your spatial ring. After you've succeeded, you can buy the Puppet Technique in the shop, and then this statue guard can be used directly by you like a loyal servant!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, my heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning, instantly rippling with emotion.

Although this method was unprecedented for me, at this moment it was like a beacon in my eyes, illuminating the road ahead.

Without hesitation, I told Han Heng and Qin Yimeng about my idea and asked them to help me trap one of the statue guards.

Without saying a word, Han Heng and Qin Yimeng immediately used their magic to successfully trap one of the statues in place.

Immediately afterwards, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my mind as still as a tranquil lake.

Then, I focused all my attention and gathered the surging divine thoughts within me into a powerful torrent, which, like a flood bursting its banks, surged toward the trapped statue guardian with overwhelming force.

The moment I released my divine sense, I felt a strange connection, as if a special bond had been established between me and the statue guardian.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, I actually managed to put the statue guardian into my spatial ring!

However, when Qin Yimeng tried the same method, she failed.

Not only that, she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering a backlash.

"I'm still not good enough, otherwise I could have helped Sister Lele."

Qin Yimeng said with a look of self-reproach.

Seeing this, I was extremely anxious and quickly fed her all sorts of blood-replenishing and spirit-restoring pills, hoping to alleviate her injuries.

"No, even this statue guard can hurt me, you'll definitely get hurt, you idiot."

I looked at Qin Yimeng with heartache and comforted her.

"Yimeng, you rest here for a while. Once you've recovered some strength, you can help me stop those statues that guard the area."

I helped Yimeng to a quiet corner of the castle and let her sit down against the wall. Then I said softly, "I want all eighteen of these last statues. I'll take them back, modify them a bit, and place nine in the human realm and nine in the immortal realm. That way I'll feel a little more at ease."

Seeing Yimeng's pale face, I couldn't help but feel worried. But the situation was urgent, so I had no choice but to turn back to the battlefield and continue fighting alongside Han Heng.

With the help of Han Heng and Tian Zang, I was in my element and took down eleven more statue guards in a row.

Just as we were preparing to take down the remaining seven statues in one fell swoop, Qin Yimeng suddenly appeared beside us.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that her complexion had regained some color, indicating that she had rested sufficiently.

"Let me help you!"

Without saying a word, Qin Yimeng immediately joined the battle.

With her joining us, our teamwork became even better, and our offensive became even more aggressive.

Before long, the last seven statues were defeated and I successfully stored them in my spatial ring.

We breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with the statue guards.

However, before we could even catch our breath, a deafening roar erupted from the depths of the castle, like a thunderclap on a calm day or a crashing wave, as if something far more powerful had been disturbed.

"It seems this is not the end; the real formidable enemy is still lurking in the distance."

I gripped my weapon tightly, my gaze sharp and unwavering.

We crept stealthily deeper into the castle. The air around us seemed frozen, cold as ice, and it felt as if countless eyes were watching us like hungry wolves in the darkness.

Suddenly, a huge, dark shadow that blotted out the sky rushed past overhead, and in an instant, a massive, malevolent beast appeared before us.

Its eyes were like burning flames, blazing and piercing, and its fangs were as sharp as blades, radiating a cold light.

Qin Yimeng looked tense, her fists clenched, while Han Heng stood like an impenetrable wall in front of us.

I took a deep breath, as if swallowing a whale, and the power within me surged like a raging torrent, ready to face this thrilling new challenge.

This monster's strength seems unfathomable, far surpassing that of the statue guards. We must proceed with extreme caution and utmost care.

A life-or-death battle is about to erupt, and whether we can uncover the mystery of that shocking conspiracy depends on whether we can defeat the terrifying monster before us.

Tianzang gestured for us to retreat. Although we were filled with doubt, we had complete faith in him.

Tianzang slowly stepped forward, and a mysterious and powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, like a surging wave that shook the surrounding air.

His hands moved like butterflies, forming hand seals, while he chanted incantations as if reciting an ancient spell.

In an instant, a strange light burst forth from his palm like fireworks.

Sensing the approaching danger, the monster roared and pounced on him like an enraged lion.

Tianzang remained calm and composed, and the light instantly transformed into an indestructible barrier, protecting him tightly.

The monster's attacks crashed against it like a storm, but only stirred up weak ripples, as if it were hitting a towering mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Tianzang's body began to undergo astonishing changes. His figure rose up like a giant, and a pair of huge wings that seemed to blot out the sky grew from his back. He was like a war god descending to earth.

He roared, his voice like a thunderclap, and charged at the monster, engaging it in a thrilling close-quarters battle.

Suddenly, a fierce wind howled within the castle, whipping up sand and stones, and the two figures flashed and intertwined in the darkness like shooting stars.

We stood by, holding our breath in tension, not daring to relax for even a moment.

The strength of Tianzang and the demon beasts were evenly matched, and each fierce collision produced a deafening roar, as if it would tear the entire castle apart.

Suddenly, Tianzang seized the opportunity, his hands forming a vortex of energy that seemed to gather all the energy in the universe, condensing into an invincible and powerful force that struck the demon beast's vitals like a burning meteor.

The monster let out a painful roar, its body swaying precariously like a candle flickering in the wind.

Tianzang pressed his advantage, giving the monster no chance to catch its breath, and finally defeated it.

"Tianzang, what kind of demon are you in your true form?"

I asked, my face full of astonishment.

Tianzang withdrew his light and returned to his original appearance. "This is not the time to discuss this matter. Let us delve deeper and uncover the hidden truth behind it."
