Chapter 821 - 501: Does It Look Like...

Xu Xin took out the insect repellent spray and sprayed it around the statue from top to bottom and side to side.

Immediately, the bugs that covered the statue scattered wildly again, revealing the statue’s complete face.

It was just an ordinary statue.

"Eh? Eh...?" Keke, perched on Xu Xin’s shoulder, tilted her small head.

"I can’t see the full view of this statue being so close. Why do I feel this statue has a strange feeling? I’ll take a step back and have a look!"

Saying this, Lou Fei’Er stepped back while observing the statue’s face.

A strange feeling?

Xu Xin didn’t feel anything.

He reached out and touched it.

Then, to his surprise, the statue didn’t trigger any prompts or introductions.

"...?"

This made him, who had grown accustomed to everything having an introduction in this world, feel a bit uneasy.

Something that looked so mysterious didn’t even have an introduction?

"Xu Xin! Spray that insect repellent again, the bugs are crawling back!" Lou Fei’Er shouted from behind.

The spray’s effect lasted only a few seconds, and now with the mist gone, bugs were crawling back to areas more than a meter from him.

He quickly sprayed the statue and then stepped aside: "How is it, did you discover anything?"

"Hmm... hmm?" Lou Fei’Er’s eyes slowly widened, then she slightly opened her mouth, blinking: "This statue... huh? Is this...? Ah?"

She murmured in confusion, even rubbing her eyes, looking again.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Xin, seeing her expression, was a bit curious, "What did you see?"

Lou Fei’Er looked at him, her expression mixed with confusion and shock, with some indescribable meaning: "Could you spray it for me again, those bugs are crawling back, I want to take another look..."

"What on earth is going on..." Xu Xin shook his head and sprayed a few more times.

"This..." The more Lou Fei’Er looked, the stranger her expression became, "Rather, why don’t you come and see for yourself? Maybe it’s my problem, maybe I saw it wrong?"

"... What on earth are you talking about? Fine, I’ll take a look. Come spray over here."

Xu Xin walked forward.

"Eh..." Keke still lay on his shoulder, turning her head to glimpse at the statue’s human face.

The two brushed past each other.

Xu Xin came to the spot where Lou Fei’Er had been standing and looked back.

Lou Fei’Er stood in front of the statue, examining it muttering something to herself, but he couldn’t hear.

Why does she seem so mysterious?

"Insect repellent, please." Xu Xin called over.

"Oh, oh..." Lou Fei’Er immediately took out her spray, giving it a few blasts, then stepped aside.

The statue’s overall appearance was now fully revealed to his eyes.

It was the face of a man, wearing a strange headpiece, with equally odd earrings hanging from both ears, and with some strange patterns etched on its face, eyes open staring straight ahead.

It indeed gave the impression of traditional attire from a minority ethnic group.

Because the face was so massive, and Xu Xin was right in the line of its gaze, this lifeless face it even gave him an imposing feeling.

Was this the deity worshiped by ancients of this world?

Or, perhaps, the leader of some tribe? Like the High Priest of the Maya civilization.

"So, is there anything unusual about it?" Xu Xin looked toward Lou Fei’Er beside him.

"...Didn’t you notice?" Lou Fei’Er’s expression remained somewhat dramatic, "This statue resembles someone..."

Resembles someone?

Xu Xin looked at the statue’s face again.

Earlier, being close, he couldn’t see the whole statue, and with its features somewhat eroded by time, he had no strong impression of its appearance.

But now that he was looking from a distance, it was much clearer.

This face...

Upon Lou Fei’Er’s words, it indeed appeared familiar.

It was like a...

Very familiar face.

Familiar...?

Xu Xin’s eyes suddenly widened.

"This..."

Isn’t this...

Seeing Xu Xin’s expression, Lou Fei’Er shouted: "You’ve seen it, right! This statue’s face is your face! That’s your head!"

...

"These bugs... are they crazy!"

Zeng Tao sat in a stone room, leaning against the stone door, gasping, and cursing loudly: "Why did they suddenly attack us! They weren’t even interested in people on the ground! Ah, it hurts!"

She raised her somewhat miserably looking hands, sighed, and gritted her teeth: "And what was that giant bug just now!"

Both of her hands were now covered in blood.

"Quick, take this medicine." Jin Yue, knowing her hands were injured, took out a pill and pushed it into her mouth, "Heal up."

"Ugh... oww it hurts..."

Under the effect of the pill, Zeng Tao’s hands gradually returned to a fair and smooth state.

Zeng Tao wiped the blood on her hands against the steel armor, stood up against the stone door: "We can’t get out now, can we?"

Just moments ago, they had rushed into this stone room, fleeing from a swarm of bugs madly attacking them.

This low stone house was one of the few buildings in the area with only a door and no windows.

Most structures had either doorways and windows or were merely holes without doors and windows, unable to be sealed at all.
