After a brief rest, the group ventured into the canyon.

The canyon was approximately 50 meters wide, with a meandering path that lacked any straight routes. As soon as enemies appeared ahead, it would result in immediate close-quarters combat.

To counter this, Ji Chen divided the Naga warriors into two groups. One group served as meat shields, mingling with a few Dragonblood Murlocs to form the vanguard.

The Naga warriors, although no longer the strongest force in the region, possessed unparalleled defensive capabilities. A wall of dozens of Naga warriors was enough to withstand the fiercest of attacks.

Mixed within them were Dragonblood Murlocs with powerful Dragon’s Aura skills. This combination provided significant defense against enemy assaults and great flexibility when transitioning from defense to offense.

The remaining Dragonblood Murlocs formed the second group.

The third group consisted of Pure Water Sea Pixies, Ji Chen himself, and several heroes. They occupied the center of the formation, the safest position.

At the very end of the formation, another group of Naga warriors protected the rear, safeguarding the group’s flanks.

This formation ensured that even if enemies launched a sudden attack from the rear, they would be able to withstand it, giving them time to react.

The group advanced steadily along the winding canyon, neither too fast nor too slow. It was both a march and a precaution against potential enemies.

After turning a corner, they encountered a straight road several hundred meters long.

Looking into the distance, at the end of the road, the merging rock walls created a resounding impact.

Carved on the closed rock walls was a gigantic tower symbol, the very same symbol projected from the ruins key’s map.

At that moment, the ruins key in Ji Chen’s hand emitted a radiant light.

Seeing that their destination was not far ahead, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate. With a sweeping gesture, the group continued their march.

When they were two to three hundred meters away from the rock walls, the tower symbol on the rock walls suddenly emitted a glow, and dozens of blue energy streams surged forth, piercing into the scattered rubble on both sides of the canyon.

“Ding- You have entered a state of battle. Assessing morale…”

“Our morale is 55 points, entering an advantageous state.”

Boom…

The rubble was lifted by massive bodies.

Fist-sized stones fell from them, cascading like sand to the ground, stirring up dust.

After about ten seconds, the smoke dispersed, revealing the faces of these creatures.

They stood at an imposing three meters tall, with humanoid bodies composed of stone blocks. Their body joints were connected by blue light rings, resembling adhesive, with an empty center.

Embedded in the center of their bodies was a blue crystal, from which radiant lines extended like rays, with each line glowing faintly blue.

At first glance, they exuded a peculiar beauty.

By now, the crystal had fully illuminated, scanning Ji Chen and his group.

“Identified intruders, execute the command: Kill.”

At the next moment, these peculiar creatures emitted hoarse voices.

The crystals on their heads instantly turned blood-red, and even the blue light rings between their bodies turned blood-red as well.

Their massive bodies began to move, transitioning from stillness to motion.

With each step, their colossal bodies moved slowly, emanating an intense oppressive aura.

The ancient land of the divine realm?

Ji Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted.

A divine realm, in a literal sense, is naturally referred to as a realm belonging to gods.

But what did “ancient land of the divine realm” mean?

Suddenly, Ji Chen recalled some important information.

He had once read in the game’s lore that this world was a godless world.

As the term implied, this world no longer had any tangible gods.

However, in an era so ancient that there were no records, numerous gods still traversed the world, gathering their followers in various places and establishing divine realms on the surface.

Their followers resided in these divine realms, worshiping them and basking in their radiance.

All living beings were enveloped in the gods’ radiance.

That was the era belonging to the gods.

Later, conflicts erupted among the gods, and their followers waged wars in the name of their faith.

The entire world plunged into a war without end, where blood flowed and mountains of corpses piled up. Countless followers perished, and even some gods fell.

Perhaps because they realized that this world was on the verge of shattering due to the war, the surviving gods chose to cease their battles.

Then, for some unknown reason, they departed, one after another.

Since then, there had been no trace of gods in the world, only remnants of their divine realms scattered throughout. Most of them had been eroded by the relentless flow of time, leaving no trace behind.

But was it possible that this so-called “ancient land of the divine realm” was one of the few remaining divine realm sites?

Or perhaps, the entire King Kong Island was a divine realm site, but the outward signs had long been worn away, leaving only remnants within these rock walls..
