Chapter 1619
“What is it?”
“Were you not able to tell?”
Concentrating his spiritual energy to his eyes, Alex could see in the dark. However, he noticed that their
surroundings were eerily quiet, Jasmine’ s breathing just sounded slightly heavier than usual.
Luna had woken up too.

“Is something up?” Luna whispered and released her spiritual conscience, but it was to no avail.
Maiko replied. “I did in fact notice something staring at us, it had green eyes. But I couldn’t tell what it
was, it just disappeared in an instant.”
“A demon?” Alex and Luna gasped. They gasped so loudly that they woke Jasmine up as well.
Since it was already ufortable to sleep in such a ce, she started panicking as soon as she
knew that some demon was watching them right now.
“Wait here, I’ll go look outside.” Alex stood up with the Seven des of Death in his hand.
Luna said, “I’ll follow you, else you wouldn’t have backup if it’s a strong opponent.”
Jasmine didn’t dare to stay here alone as well, her face was pale from fear. “I… I’d like to follow you
too.”
In the end, the three of them surveyed the area for quite a while, along with the half ghost king at their
side. Yet they couldn’t find any demons or beasts with green eyes.
Despite this, they were no longer in the mood to sleep.
“I don’t know why, but I keep feeling like something is preying on me in the dark.” Alex frowned. This
was definitely not a pleasant feeling. It even managed to give him goosebumps since he couldn’t find
the cause of this.
“Could it be… A ghost?” Jasmine asked.
“That’s impossible, else I would’ve sensed it long ago.” Maiko said in her chilly voice, sending a chill
down Jasmine’s spine.
She just couldn’t understand why Alex had to have a ghost on him at all times.
“No matter what it is, be careful! We won’t be fazed by losing a few days of sleep, so let’s just not sleep
tonight.” Luna said as she shone her bright shlight back and forth on the stone wall.
Such a bright shlight was provided by members of Flora Valley.
When Luna arrived, she basically came empty handed. She didn’t even bring any spare clothes with
her, and no one knew what she was thinking for being so unprepared.
However, Luna suddenly spoke up. “Did you guys realize that the statue in the za is super big, yet
the houses feel so cramped? I don’t think people would normally like their houses to be so small, I
could touch the ceiling if I just raised my arm. Not just that, almost all the houses here are this short.
Could everyone living here be shorter than most?”
Jasmine added. “I remember seeing a mural somewhere around here. The carvings of the people here
did look kind of odd, they looked quite short. But that doesn’t mean anything, right? It probably was just
the carver’s mistake. Oh and, the natives here seem to worship hammers, their totems are all
hammers.”
“Hammers? Short? Could they be…” Alex seemed deep in thought.
“Did you think of something?” Luna asked.
“I heard that there’s a race called the dwarves back in the Stone Ages. Their average height is just
around four feet tall. However, they seem to be born to be craftsmen, they could even make
spiritual tools. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but just look at the structure of this city and the
craftsmanship of that goddess statue. I don’t think anyone could just pop out a masterpiece like that.”
Alex replied.
“Dwarves? Is there actually such a race in this world?” The two women were shocked.
“Could that entire race be suffering from Dwarf Disease?”
Since it still felt like they were being followed, Alex still felt ufortable staying in that house. Hence,
he decided to leave this ce and head to a cruder ce within the city. With this, the feeling of being
watched had finally vanished.
The next day, when dawn arrived, the three of them left the city and passed by the za with the
statue, leaving through therge city gates.
Starting at the humongous entrance, Alex couldn’t help but exim. “These gates are just way too big!”
