And many stone statues.

Those stone statues are incredibly lifelike.

Exactly like a true person.

You can even see sweat and pores clearly.

Just like the statue of Mei Ying a mile outside the cave.

This kind of craft, even many top sculptors might not be able to create.

Of course, what attracts Su Chen the most is the snake-haired woman's statue.

The head seems to be made of stone.

It is placed on the shrine.

Facing away from him.

He walked over, intending to turn the head around.

To see for himself.

However, just as he picked up the head, he suddenly heard Mei Ying's voice from behind him.

"Su Chen, don't!"

Upon hearing Mei Ying's voice, Su Chen instinctively turned around.

Still holding the snake-haired woman's statue in his hands!

Mei Ying's expression changed dramatically.

She quickly rushed in front of Su Chen, grabbed the snake-haired woman's statue, and respectfully placed it back on the shrine.

Still facing away from her direction.

"Quickly, come with me!" Mei Ying grabbed Su Chen's hand, without saying another word, directly pulled Su Chen onto her ride, the Angry Lion.

Quickly galloping towards the cave's exit.

"Mei Ying Sis, it's just a broken stone statue, isn't it? Is it really that frightening?" Su Chen was somewhat puzzled.

He thought, it's just a stone statue, could it possibly swallow him?

Mei Ying rode on the Angry Lion, while galloping, she looked back at the cave.

Her eyes were filled with fear.

After running about a mile, Su Chen suddenly noticed that Mei Ying, whom he was holding, her body gradually became stiff.

And the Angry Lion's steps also became slower.

"Mei Ying Sis?" Su Chen finally realized something was wrong.

Mei Ying tried to turn her head.

But it was extremely difficult.

It took a whole half a minute.

For Mei Ying to turn her head.

Then, in Su Chen's gaze, she turned entirely into a stone statue!

Including the Angry Lion underneath her!

"Mei Ying Sis!" Su Chen's face changed dramatically.

He kept shaking Mei Ying.

But to no avail, the feel was cold.

Like touching a stone statue!

Could it be…

This is the so-called curse of Huangshan Village?

But, why wasn't he the one cursed.

Why Mei Ying?

Su Chen regretted immensely.

He wished he was the one cursed.

"I'm sorry, Mei Ying Sis, it's all my fault!" Su Chen was tearful.

But it was of no use.

Mei Ying turned into a stone statue.

Leaving an everlasting backward glance.

The passionate and hospitable, talented in song and dance, able to tame the Angry Lion, beautiful woman was turned into a sculpture due to Su Chen's mistake.

Not leaving a single word behind.

Su Chen left Huangshan Village.

He didn't have the face to see anyone.

Nor did he have the face to return.

Years passed.

Huangshan Village also changed significantly.

Started trade relations with the outside world.

While Mei Ying, stood tall at the mountain peak, looking back as she gazed afar...

So many years have passed.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

The surrounding environment remained unchanged.

Even Mei Ying's sculpture showed no signs of weathering.

Just like when she first turned into a stone statue.

This time, Su Chen came to Huangshan Village.

Besides providing special training to Tang Yi.

He wanted to unravel the mystery of Huangshan Village's curse!

What exactly caused Mei Ying to turn into a stone statue.

Mei Ying, did she die, or is she still alive?

Even though Mei Ying has turned into a stone statue, she looked exactly like a true person.

Even when Su Chen stood in front of her.

He somehow felt like he was being watched by her.

That's why Su Chen felt perhaps Mei Ying hadn't died.

Both Mei Ying and Su Chen entered the cave.

Why was it only Mei Ying and the Angry Lion that turned into stone statues while he didn't?

Su Chen recalled the scene from that year.

He entered the cave.

Found many stone sculptures of people inside the cave.

The entire cave was about a hundred meters deep, with a light hole at the top.

Therefore, it didn't appear dark.

At the end of the cave, there was a shrine.

A snake-haired woman's head statue was placed on the shrine.

The head was facing away from him.

He walked over, wanting to turn the snake-haired woman's head around.

Coincidentally, at that time, Mei Ying appeared.

Took the stone statue from his hand.

Then, put it back on the shrine.

Su Chen never saw the true appearance of the statue.

Could this be the problem?

Did he avoid becoming a stone statue because he didn't see the snake-haired woman's true face?

He remembers he turned around with the stone statue in his arms.

Mei Ying must have seen the statue.

Mei Ying was riding the Angry Lion, the Angry Lion must have also seen the statue.

A bold speculation appeared in Su Chen's mind.

He felt he was close to discovering the truth.

The problem lies with that statue.

As long as you don't see the statue's face, you won't be cursed.

Of course, this is just Su Chen's guess.

He couldn't determine if this was indeed the reason.

What if it wasn't because of this, but another reason he wasn't aware of?

He might also turn into a stone statue.

Then, no one would ever be able to uncover the secret of the curse.

So, Su Chen didn't plan to enter the cave immediately.

However, while he didn't plan to enter the cave.

That doesn't mean others wouldn't.

For example, Zhu Shao's team.

Just as Su Chen planned to leave with the two women.

Zhu Shao's team appeared.

At the same time, several villagers from Huangshan Village appeared.

Among these villagers, Su Chen seemed to recognize one female.

However, years had passed, Su Chen's appearance, attire, temperament all have changed significantly.

Therefore, the other did not recognize him.

"If you dare to enter that cave and take a tour inside, I'll forgive you for killing my ride!" Said a female villager from Huangshan Village to Zhu Shao and the others.

"Mei Luo!" Su Chen recognized the speaking female villager from Huangshan Village.

Her name was Mei Luo.

Remember a few years ago, she was still a young girl.

Nowadays, she's become a rather mature woman.

"Deal!" Said a crew-cut man as he stepped forward.

He seemed to plan on entering the cave.

"Mr. Wang, be careful of any traps!" Zhu Shao couldn't help but remind.

Looking at the female villager from Huangshan Village, one could guess.

Even if there were no traps inside, it's definitely a pretty terrifying place.

However, the crew-cut man was highly skilled and brave, seemed determined to explore.

He naturally also saw Su Chen and Tang Yi.

He glanced at Su Chen and Tang Yi.

Said: "Wait for me to come out, let's return to Jiangdu together!"

This crew-cut man!

Even though Su Chen had never met him.

Yet, from this man he felt a very powerful aura.

This kind of aura, he had only felt from the members of that team.

If he's guessing correctly.

This man is obviously from... the Divine Team!

Moreover, he's someone of a higher level than Mei Changfeng.

Then, the identity of this man is obvious.

Could it be, the man codenamed Reaper!
