Gu Shi Yi pointed to a giant snake statue by the roadside, its aged surface having eroded to reveal layers of weathered snake scales beneath, black and mottled,
"Ah..."
Wang Yue's eyes widened like little green beans, the old horse stretched his neck looking around, muttering,
"So many statues, I wonder how many humans and snakes are sealed inside..."
Gu Shi Yi snorted,
"So many humans, snakes, and half-snakes sealed are probably for this Array... Let's go have a look..."
Gu Shi Yi walked calmly through the group of statues, stopping before a statue of a Half-Snake People, which was much taller than the others. He looked up to examine it closely; the statue was over three zhang tall, its upper body muscular, its lower body a thick snake tail, and the face menacingly staring at the ground. Gu Shi Yi matched its gaze for a moment,
"Buzz..."
The Half-Snake People's eyes, originally gray like stone, suddenly emitted a red light,
"Crack..."
