The Cat-Dog War and the Eagle-Snake Battle are extremely fierce.
The Lightning Black Cat is fast, while the Blink Hound can teleport directly up to 10 meters away. Their battle resembles a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek, where whoever lets their guard down will face dire consequences.
The fight between the Iron-Winged Hawk and the Seven-Linked Golden Snake is much bloodier and more intense.
Originally, the eagle is the natural enemy of the snake, holding the advantage.
However, the Iron-Winged Hawk has sustained serious injuries, while the Seven-Linked Golden Snake remains unscathed.
This battle is drenched in blood; scales from the Seven-Linked Golden Snake are flying everywhere, and its already limited blood supply is slowly seeping out due to its injuries.
The Iron-Winged Hawk is also struggling, having been bitten by the Seven-Linked Golden Snake, leaving one of its legs nearly incapacitated. Moreover, the Seven-Linked Golden Snake seems to be venomous, causing the Iron-Winged Hawk's reaction time to decline, and it’s uncertain how much longer it can hold on.
Humans are the most patient creatures in this world.
The Evolvers who have not left are all very patient. They will not intervene until they see a clear victor among the Mutant Beasts because any intact second-tier Mutant Beast poses a significant and lethal threat to them, requiring utmost caution.
Of course, this does not prevent a small number of individuals from engaging in gunfights.
Some Evolvers get too close to each other, coveting each other's equipment, and believing their strength surpasses that of their opponents. Thus, they recklessly take action, but the outcomes may not be as favorable as they expect.
Shen Yuan observes all of this.
Humans are more patient than other creatures, but Shen Yuan is even more patient than most humans.
Shen Yuan placed a hand on the Fierce Tiger Statue, feeling slightly reassured.
This Fierce Tiger Statue not only seemed to have gained more spirit, but its capacity to hold the Source of Life was also increasing. After defeating the Tank Golden Bull, he took out the Apophis Meteorite Fragment and allowed the Fierce Tiger Statue to absorb a significant amount of Source of Life.
Now, the Fierce Tiger Statue was stronger than before!
With it around, Shen Yuan felt secure!
However, it was still not enough reassurance.
He looked around and suddenly spotted a patch of yellow about a kilometer away; it was a temple.
"Is that... Dizang Temple?"
Shen Yuan had been there before.
It was an ancient temple built during the Ming Dynasty Yongle period, with a history of over 600 years. It had been destroyed in that well-known war over a century ago, almost turning into a ruin, but its foundation remained. Inside, there was a painted stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, along with several remaining statues of the Heavenly Kings and Arhats.
Shen Yuan gazed far and wide, seeing that several halls had collapsed in the Great Earthquake, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Statue was shattered beyond recognition, with only one Arhat Statue still standing.
"Dizang Temple used to be bustling with worshippers, with people constantly paying their respects. With so many visitors, could the Buddha Statues here have gained some spirit as well? Moreover, the craftsmanship of the statues in temples is usually quite good; perhaps... they are also master-level works?" Shen Yuan speculated.
If the Arhat Statue could also be activated, would the life-sized Arhat Statue be stronger than the Fierce Tiger Statue?
Shen Yuan was moved!
"Why not... give it a try!"
Shen Yuan went downstairs, riding the Fierce Tiger Statue towards the direction of Dizang Temple.
The distance of one kilometer was covered in an instant.
Shen Yuan arrived in front of the Arhat Statue and found that this stone statue indeed looked lifelike, giving off a solemn and dignified feeling. It was hard to tell whether it was due to the sculptor's excellent craftsmanship or the divine aura accumulated from hundreds of years of offerings.
Shen Yuan reached out and placed his hand on the Arhat Statue, and a surprised smile quickly appeared on his face:
It really can be activated!
He took out the Apophis Meteorite Fragment and pressed it against the Arhat Statue. Immediately, he felt streams of Source of Life flowing into the Arhat Statue.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
A full five minutes!
After five minutes, the Arhat Statue finally came to life!
Its size was not larger than that of the Fierce Tiger Statue or the Xiang Yu Statue, and it might even be slightly smaller, but the amount of Source of Life it absorbed was equivalent to the total of both the Fierce Tiger Statue and the Xiang Yu Statue.
"One plus one is greater than two. If the Arhat Statue rides the Fierce Tiger Statue, will its power be even stronger? After all, two legs can't outrun four legs; at least it will be faster." Shen Yuan nodded to himself.
After being activated, the statue moved like a finger under Shen Yuan's command. The Arhat Statue turned and mounted the Fierce Tiger Statue, looking imposing and fierce.
"Eighteen Arhats, subduing dragons and tigers... I wonder which one you are. Since you are riding on the Fierce Tiger Statue, that must be Fuhuluo Han!" A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Yuan's face.
Fuhuluo Han is sometimes referred to as Maitreya Buddha, who holds a very high position in Buddhism. Although ranked eighteenth, Maitreya Buddha is certainly the future Buddha and the successor of Sakyamuni Buddha, holding a special status.
This Fuhuluo Han Statue cannot be compared to the legendary Maitreya Buddha, but Shen Yuan estimated that its strength would at least not be inferior to that of the Tank Golden Bull, or even stronger!
"Unfortunately, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Statue and other Heavenly Kings and Arhat statues have already been shattered. Otherwise, with just these statues, I could sweep through the entire Suicheng! Even facing the peak state of the Stabbing King White Hedgehog would not scare me at all!" Shen Yuan felt a bit regretful.
However, upon further thought, there was really nothing to regret.
It seemed that the more spiritual and divine a statue was, the more Source of Life it required to activate.
After consecutively activating the Xiang Yu Statue, Fierce Tiger Statue, and Arhat Statue, Shen Yuan's thumb-sized Meteor Fragments had already been reduced to half. Even if there were more statues, Shen Yuan would not be able to activate them.
This was Dizang Temple, where good men and women worshipped primarily Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva first, followed by the Four Heavenly Kings. As for the Arhat Hall, offerings were originally scarce; when divided among the Eighteen Arhats, it became even less—far less than one percent of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's offerings. Naturally, their spiritual essence could not compare at all.
How much Source of Life would it take to activate the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Statue that has received worship for over 600 years and stands five meters tall?
Don't even think about it!
"One must not be greedy!" Shen Yuan gently shook his head and looked into the distance.
At this moment, the battle among the Mutant Beasts changed once again.
The Lightning Black Cat was accidentally bitten by the Blink Hound, its neck snapped, dying an untimely death. However, the Blink Hound also bore several bloody scratches from the Lightning Black Cat, with some areas even revealing stark white bones, clearly indicating it was severely injured.
The fight between the Iron-Winged Hawk and the Seven-Linked Golden Snake was even more brutal. In the end, the Iron-Winged Hawk's claws pierced through the Seven-Linked Golden Snake's vital point, but the Iron-Winged Hawk was also poisoned; the snake's venom was severe, preventing it from even flying.
In less than fifteen minutes, five second-tier Mutant Beasts were either dead, injured, or fleeing; the only one still capable of fighting was the Blink Hound!
Opportunities must be seized; they do not come again!
At this moment, those Evolvers who had been lurking and waiting for a long time finally made their move.
For instance, a powerful Evolver could manipulate flames, enveloped in fire as he walked step by step toward the Stabbing King White Hedgehog. Even the severely injured Blink Hound dared not approach.
He was actually a second-tier Evolver!
In other directions, many Evolvers rushed toward the Stabbing King White Hedgehog, with some even driving trucks and off-road vehicles straight at it.
Another fierce battle unfolded around the Stabbing King White Hedgehog!
