Chapter 1617
Ring…
Alex felt an extremely pressuring force on his body as soon as he entered. It felt simr to when they
were passing the water-like door in Caesar’s tomb, but it also seemed moreplicated than that. He
felt as if his body had fallen into a blender, where his entire body was being squeezed tightly by some
hard substance. It was just way too suffocating.
As soon as he hopped in, Alex tried releasing his spiritual conscience to feel the power of space within
this transportation circle. However, his little spiritual conscience was crushed brutally the second after
he released it.
‘Looks like my powers are still not strong enough!’
Within one breath, Alex’s body felt light as he passed through the teleportation circle,nding on the
ground safely.
What met his eyes was an insanelyrge head.
It was a head carved out of stone, which was asrge as a building,ying on its side. Standing before
this statue made him feel like he was a tiny mouse in front of arge elephant. Even the eyes were ten
times bigger than his size.
Just as he was still in shock, Luna and Jasmine emerged as well.
Luna let out a sigh of relief. Jasmine, on the other hand, was experienced in this.
When she noticed Alex’s expression, she exined. “This is the goddess’ statue, the head is over here
while her body is over there. It’s very huge and no one knows who carved it. It’s an ancient statue after
all.”
Luna took a few steps back and looked at the statue again. “It’s a woman?”
Jasmine nodded. “Yep, we Floral Valley have researched this statue before, we assume that this is the
statue of the goddess to the natives who live here in Spiritual Valley Dungeon. It’s called the Guardian
Goddess, so it’s probably the goddess that they used to worship. The natives here probably
worshipped nature a lot.”
Alex asked. “Where are the natives now? Are there any other people here?”
Jasmine shook her head. “We haven’t seen anyone else, so I guess they migrated. Just look at the
statue, it looks ancient. My master said that it had existed for at least thousands of years. So it’s
probably a relic from the Stone Age.”
Alex decided to make a sarcastic remark. “If we can somehow bring this out of here, it would surely be
sold for a great price.”
Luna rolled her eyes. “Is money all you think about, huh?”
Alex smiled and scanned his surroundings, only then did he realise that this was a city in the
mountains.
They were surrounded by ranges and ranges of mountains, and the city was surprisinglyrge, where
there were tall buildings everywhere they went. However, all these buildings have crumbled to the
ground, so now it just looked like ruins. Everything
looked gloomy and messy, and there wererge patches of tall grass all over the ce. The houses,
buildings and walls were covered in unknown foliage.
As Alex continued to observe all of this with shock, he was able to imagine just how beautiful this ce
used to be.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Luna praised. “Now I’d really like to see just how beautiful it was when this ce was at its peak.”
Just as they were speaking to each other, Alcina came by with a group of her disciples as well.
Since Alex had given her another seven tokens right before heading in, she had to reconsider which
disciples she was bringing in, so that took up some time.
Although this ce was dangerous with all the demons and beasts around, it had rich natural
resources and an abundance of spiritual Chi. Taking a breath here was almost equivalent to taking a
hundred breaths outside.
“Mr. Rockefeller, there are some strong wild animals within the dungeon, there’s even monsters too, so
some ces can be very dangerous. The elders of Floral Valley and Hygieia Valley have paved a few
ways for us. I have a map here that you can refer to.”
Alcina handed Alex a hand-drawn map. Not only were there signs and directions, it notified any
dangers along the path as well.
A while ago, Alcina didn’t mention any of this, she probably only wanted to repay Alex for giving her
another seven tokens.
‘This olddy sure is calctive!’ Although he was thinking of that, Alex obviously didn’t say it out loud.
Instead he thanked her lightly and asked Jasmine, “Where do we go if I’d like to find Dragon Blood
Vines?”
Jasmine pointed towards the west.
Alex nodded then turned to Alcina. “Master B, which path will you guys be taking?”
Alcina replied. “We have to take the one Hygieia Valley uses normally to find those. I vaguely
remember that Dominique moved the vines to a canyon somewhere, I think it’s around this area.”
She then pointed to an area on Alex’s map.
“But we’re going to take the road we Floral Valley usually use, there are resting stands that we set up
along the way. But I’m not sure if there’s any along the Hygieia Valley one.”
After saying this, Alcina proceeded to warn Jasmine to be careful.
