After an extremely brief response, the statue returned to its original appearance, and the light in its eyes slowly dissipated.
But even such a brief response still made the half-elf's face suddenly light up with joy.
He immediately kowtowed several times and saluted once more, then slowly stood up and walked backwards out of the front door of the altar.
A hundred meters away from the door, the mighty man who was waiting quietly saw the half-elf coming out. He quickly approached and asked in a low voice: "Commander, how is the situation?"
"It's okay, go back, the brave man will solve it," the half-elf said, "We still keep an eye on the front line. Although the guy who suddenly appeared is fake, he is probably sent specially by the other party. Yes, at least until Lord Brave takes care of that guy, we have to be [-]% alert and alert to our opponent’s sneak attacks.”

Jingding Building.
Snow is still trying his best to break the tight barrier that surrounds the space above thirty floors.
Anvada walked around the floor several times, and finally came back with a subtle expression on her face.
"How's it going? Is there really no one in the house?" Na Beilin asked.
"How should I put it? There are people in the room, but not entirely." Anvada spread his hands.
"What kind of riddle?" Na Beilin said with a subtle look on her face.
"The main thing is that I'm not sure if you're still a human if you only have a bunch of brains left," Anvada shrugged.
"Huh?" Na Beilin tilted her head, "All you have left is your brain?"
"Well, only the brains are left," Anwada said. "It's like this on this floor. Not a single living person is seen. There are only crystal jars and brains soaked in red soup in every room."
"Are there many other jars around with various tubes connected to the brain?" Snow asked casually.
"Yes," Anwada looked at Snow, "Sir, what do you know?"
"I found some relevant information in the city some time ago," Snow said casually, "It seems that a few decades ago, all the local forces were unified by the Jingding family. After the two remaining families negotiated defeat, In addition to obtaining certain privileges for the then head of the family, their family members all received the same promise."
Anwada glanced at the room behind him, turned around and asked, "Could it be...eternal life?"
"It's a pity, you guessed it right," Snow's hands quickly changed on the barrier nodes, "I have done a little research on this so-called immortality. To be honest, the level of arcane magic here is really a bit low.
It is not impossible to realize a brain in a vat, but it is far from being achieved with the technology here. Those brains soaked in the vat are actually for the only living people of the two major families to see.
It wasn't dead when it was put in, but it was just a bunch of brains floating in the nutrient solution. Over time, it would die just like death. "
"It sounds too deceptive..." Na Beilin couldn't help but say, "Then why are they still pretending to be like this? The table can be lifted anyway, wouldn't it be easier to smash it directly with these things?"
"Oh, that's not possible. If there are too many brains, they will naturally deal with them, but if there are enough places, they will not take the initiative to destroy these brains in a big way," Snow said, "If you want to say why, after all, this 'immortality' business , but their core business.”
"Rely on these brains to make a sign, and then fool the latecomers to spend money to buy eternal life, right?" Anwada sighed, "Although normal people will not like this kind of place, but for people who are about to die, this kind of place is very Attractive, and those who were deceived here will probably have their entire wealth and property belong to Jingding..."
"But, this is too outrageous," Na Beilin still didn't understand. "Has no one ever suspected that something was wrong?"
"It's useless. Although these guys are at a level of arcane magic, looking at the entire city, they are still far behind most people. It's easy for them to fool these people," Snow said, Drawing a perfect circle with his right hand, "After all, the level of being able to create a barrier that took me so long to crack the authority is already higher than that of ordinary arcana masters."
After that, he walked towards the stairs leading to the upper level.

Not long after a few people left, there was a special elevator door on the upper floor.
As a few black lines flashed by, the thick metal door with the multi-layered magic array shattered into pieces.
Then Yuan jumped out of the door with his six little brothers.
Behind them, Yayin also floated in while looking around.
As soon as I walked in, I saw the corpses of security guards all over the floor.
"Sure enough, someone has been here, is it Snow..." Yayin thought as she landed next to one of the corpses, squatted down and carefully examined the corpse's state of death.
How should I put it? He died completely.
At first glance, you can’t even tell how he died, not even a drop of blood was left.
But if you look carefully, you can still find a small wound in the gap in the hair.
After checking the wound, Yain immediately frowned.
She recognized this wound, it could even be said that it was quite familiar in the past...
However, that is not what Snow will leave behind when he fights, but another person.
"Anwada? Is he here? Has he met up with Snow?" Yayin couldn't help but think to herself.
If that was the case, then at least she wouldn't have to worry about Snow's safety.
I just don't know what they are here for.
Just when Yayin was about to take a look at the condition of the other corpses, she suddenly heard a harsh clanking sound coming from the side.
She turned around and saw that the door of one of the guest rooms had been pried open, and a group of potato brats seemed to have ran in, wondering what they were doing inside.
After Yayin checked around to make sure that no nearby security personnel were attracted by the movement, she hurried to the door and planned to take a look at the situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked inside, he saw Yuan holding a bunch of brains in his hand, weighing it, and then threw it on the ground.
Then he jumped straight into the red crystal vat on the side, and his whole body was soaked in the unknown red liquid in the vat, showing that he was enjoying himself very much.
As Yuan jumped in, his brothers followed closely behind. The seven people crowded the entire crystal tank like a hot spring.
Then, visible to the naked eye, the water level in the crystal jar began to drop rapidly, and it was reduced by half in just ten seconds.
"Huh? What's this..." Yayin waved her wand and took out a small ball of water from the crystal jar. She put it in front of her eyes and looked at it. She then launched a simple monitoring magic array and checked the ingredients.
"Such a high concentration of nutrient solution?" Yayin was a little surprised, "What are you planning to raise...huh?"
She looked at her brain that had just been thrown to the ground by Yuan and smashed to pieces.
"No, it can't be this thing, can it?" Yayin was confused, went out of the room, carefully opened a hole in the door opposite, and poked inside.
As expected, the layout of the house opposite was basically the same as here, with a lone white brain floating in a large crystal vat filled with red nutrient solution.
"It's really..." Yayin frowned, pushed the door open, looked around, then opened the magic circle and checked the condition of the brain.
Surprisingly, it seems to be still alive, but judging from the reactions of various parts, even if the brain is still conscious, it must have gone crazy...
"What the hell is going on in this place..." Yayin frowned.
She looked back and saw that the potatoes seemed to be taking a comfortable bath. Moreover, if nothing else happened, they probably came here just for the nutrient solution?
Not sure, but very likely.
In short, Yayin decided to leave them here to take a bath first. Anyway, with Yuan here, ordinary people couldn't do anything to these brats.
Yayin herself followed the corpses in that place, searching for traces of Snow and others.
Finally, she came to the passage leading to a higher level. On the ground here, she used rubbing magic to find some fresh footprints.
Looking up at the tight barrier in front of her, Yayin pondered for a moment, trying to communicate with this barrier according to a certain magical formula in her memory.
The result was very smooth, and the barrier opened immediately, giving her permission to pass.
"Sure enough, Snow has been here, and his key can be used..." Yayin thought to herself, looking at the dark spiral staircase.
Taking a slight breath, she held the wand and slowly floated into the passage.

Jingding Building, No. 12th floor.
With a bang, Liu Ji kicked open the solid door and stepped into the last floor of the entertainment management floor.
This is also the most expensive place in the entire Jingding Building.
The gorgeous lobby is splendid, and the beautiful decoration is made of precious metals and gems. The velvet floor paved with unknown techniques is covered with the entire paint surface. Walking on it feels like walking on soft clouds.
There were still unfinished meals placed on the low table carved from precious wood, all of which were exquisitely presented and decorated with fancy dishes. Various sexy fabrics that looked like women's clothing were scattered on the floor.
"This place is so luxurious," Liu Ji couldn't help but think.
Just seeing these gorgeous works of art, to be honest, Liu Ji was a little reluctant to do anything.
But when he thought of those bitter fighters in a certain arena, he suddenly felt that these so-called works of art were so dazzling.
Sure enough, it's better to smash it.
Swinging the heavy sword, Liu Ji was like a tornado destroying the parking lot. A storm of sword blades swept through the remaining clouds, and the entire space was chopped into chaos.
But Liu Ji was still not satisfied with this, so he picked up his sword and smashed the remaining intact remnants one by one.
A bunch of tables were smashed here...
A bunch of broken sculptures over there...
I smashed a painting in the back...
Crush a tower of fine wine ahead...
And just when Liu Jidi raised the sword in his hand countless times, he suddenly sensed a hint of crisis.
Instinctively, he wanted to hide.
But almost the moment he reacted and was about to make a move, golden metal claws emerged from his chest.
Liu Ji looked at the sharp claws on his chest in shock, then slowly turned his head, only to see a blur of darkness behind him.
In an instant, his figure was reversed, his whole body was reversed from front to back, and he emerged directly from the black armor. With one hand, he grabbed the claw that pierced his chest, and with the other hand, he moved towards the black armor. Take the shadow.
But in the next moment, Liu Ji felt his eyes blurred, and when he came back to consciousness, half of his body was shattered.
"Fuck..." Liu Ji only had time to say these two words. The next moment, his vision went dark again, and his whole body was completely shattered into scattered sand.
He didn't even see clearly how the other party moved.
The next moment, Liu Ji's figure regrouped a little further away. This time, he did not dare to move. He stared at the blurry black figure and asked with a mantra: "You, you are the legendary brave man." ?”
The black shadow fluctuated visibly to the naked eye, and then the next second, it suddenly flashed in front of Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was startled by the black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to fight back, but as soon as he raised his hand, half of his body was blown into pieces by the inexplicable attack.
One side of his body was hit hard. Liu Ji wanted to use the other side to deal with it first, but his other arm was blown away. The black shadow's hand in front of him grabbed his head, but Liu Ji didn't even have time to react. reaction.
I thought that I was going to be scattered again the next moment, but for some reason, the black shadow stopped moving.
Then, he suddenly came closer and seemed to be looking at Liu Ji carefully.
Then, Liu Ji heard a question ringing in his ears.
"Strange, you are a brave man?"
The sound was extremely ethereal, not even like a human voice. The timbre was pleasant, but for some reason, it gave Liu Ji a chill that made his hair stand on end.
"Huh? That's right," Liu Ji replied in a low voice, "But I'm retired..."
"Oh, retirement? Oh, blessings have indeed deserted you, but you have not retired..."
The voice came again.
"There is no such thing as retirement for a brave man."
"This? But..." Liu Ji was stunned. He was about to say something more, but he heard the voice speak again.
"Don't worry, since it's an internal matter, it's inconvenient. Let's move to another place..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ji felt his eyes go dark, and then the world began to spin. When he opened his eyes again, he saw darkness all around him.
Liu Ji subconsciously switched to elemental vision, and finally "saw" the surrounding environment clearly.
It seems that this is no longer the Jingding Building, but a closed secret room.
The secret room was very empty, and there was nothing in most places. Only in the innermost position, there was a place that was either a seat or a bed.
Beside that, there are twelve rock statues lined up. Each statue is dressed differently and looks like a female statue. But the strange thing is that the faces of these statues are blank and look quite strange. Infiltrate people.
"W-where is this..." Liu Ji asked subconsciously.
"My home," came the short reply.
When Liu Ji turned his head, he discovered that the black figure was sitting cross-legged on the throne that should have been empty.
Liu Ji swallowed and asked slowly: "Who are you..."
"Me? Haha, just an old immortal," the black figure said casually, "I would rather know, what is the relationship between Qilisa and you?"
