Gerald could feel the huge statue come to life when he infused his Vital Energy into it.

A shadow soon emerged above his head. At the same time, a beam of light flashed from the statue's eyes, hitting the ground directly in front of Gerald. A string of words came.

into view under the light.

Gerald was stunned.

He realized that they were not ordinary statues. Rather, they appeared to be some kind

of amplified robots or Pioneers.

Those words on the ground were the instructions on how to operate the statues.

What was strange was that other than Gerald and Carolyn, no one else noticed what

was happening to the statues. They did not seem to think much about it.

Gerald glanced over the words quickly and vaguely understood what they meant. They had to make use of the statues to bring them across the river filled with magma. Otherwise, they would fall prey to the traps set up on the opposite side.

Gerald was very excited when he discovered that only those who possessed Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone could control the statues. Indeed, both Gerald and Carolyn were the ones who could open up Underground Palace. There was no mistake about it. Most importantly, if they could control the statues like Pioneers, they could overtake the supreme Flame Decay and become an eternal Flame Decayer.

It was Gerald's first time hearing about the eternal level of Flame Decay.

The differences in the various levels of Flame Decay were apparent.

Kristopher was very likely an eternal Flame Decayer.

Gerald felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he continued to look calm. He touched the

statue and looked to the side.

Kristopher was standing quietly beside Valery. He would hurt Valery the minute Gerald did anything to antagonize him. Chapter 992 Signs of Turbulence

Kristopher frowned when he saw Gerald looking in his direction. "How is it coming

along? Can you activate the statues?"

Gerald took a deep breath and nodded. "We are indeed the keys to the statues. Do you see the statues opposite the river? There is a link between the statues on both sides. I need some time to transfer my Vital Energy to them so I can unlock them. Once they are activated, a bridge will be formed across the river."

Frowning, Kristopher looked suspicious. However, he did not say further as he could only trust Gerald.

"How long do you need?" Kristopher asked.

"Around two hours," Gerald replied.

The time in this world was different from the time on Earth. A day was not made up of

24 hours. Instead, there were 30 hours in a day. In addition, the definition of an hour was not the same as an hour on Earth.

"Quick, get going!" Kristopher frowned.

"We haven't recovered from our injuries. You need to let Valery come over to treat us. This will speed things up," Gerald explained.

"What are you trying to do?" Kristopher narrowed his eyes.

With one hand trying to transfer his Vital Energy to the statue, Gerald raised his other palm uncertainly. "You know how seriously injured I am. I can't do anything if you don't

believe me."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I think a lot of people have heard the rumbling voice inside Underground Palace. Very soon, the Eight Forces will be here. It's up to you to believe 1. I can take my time to activate the statues.

Kristopher glanced at Gerald before instructing Valery, "Go over and treat his injuries."

He then turned to Gerald again. "Gerald, don't try anything funny. This time, I won't show you any mercy."

Gerald gave a sheepish laugh.

Valery walked up to Gerald slowly. She held her palm up to touch his palm, transferring

her Vital Energy to him.

At that moment, Gerald turned to look at Carolyn, who winked at him discreetly.

Shortly after, the Vital Energy in both Gerald and Carolyn exploded.

Roar!

Squeak!

Two loud voices resounded through Underground Palace. The entire place shook more violently.

It was the dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry,

The two statues seemed to have come alive as light gleamed from their eyes. At that

moment, Gerald felt a force lifting him. The very next instant, he rose up to the sky.

Soon, the phoenix also unfolded its wings. Similarly, Carolyn found herself being raised from the ground and fell onto the back of the phoenix.

Gerald grabbed Valery, and both of them landed on the dragon's head.

The two statues were like amplified Pioneers. In fact, they seemed to be more powerful than Purple Pioneers.

They came from the time of Geza the Great.

The ground trembled as the dragon and phoenix soared into the air. The Treasure

Hunters quickly ran out of the ruins in the Underground Palace. They rushed to a safe

place, watching the scene unfold before them in awe.

"What's going on?" Kristopher was startled. Anger stirred within him.

Gerald was standing on the dragon's head, staring at Kristopher coldly.

He then turned to Ms. Cat. "Ms. Cat, I believe you now. You've tried your best to ensure

my safety. I owe you a favor for this."

Gerald's voice boomed out.

Ms. Cat was in a daze. She was also startled by what had happened.

"However, I don't like to put my life in someone else's hands. If you've come here with Kristopher to seek cooperation, we can talk it over nicely. I could have brought you to Underground Palace safely, and from then on, to each our own." Gerald stared intently at

Kristopher.

His eyes flashed with a murderous glint. "This scoundrel not only injured me, but he also threatened to harm Valery. I can't bear to see her in the slightest pain, yet he wanted to

kill her. I'm infuriated."

Gerald bellowed at the top of his voice. "I'm grateful for your help. You've been trying to protect me and my friends all this while. I promise I'll repay you one day. Now, I only ask that you leave this place quickly. I want to kill this scoundrel!"

With that, he gripped the dragon's horns tightly, and his Vital Energy surged in his body. The dragon's terrifying aura began to manifest from its body.

Meanwhile, although Carolyn did not say a word, the phoenix spread its wings. Immediately, a trail of fire appeared in its wake, creating a mesmerizing display of flames and light. The flames spiraled brightly upwards, looking like a burning phoenix.

"Die!" Carolyn stared at Kristopher coldly.

The next moment, a dragon and a phoenix soared into the air from Underground Palace.

Meanwhile, as soon as Anabel and the others came to the entrance of Underground Palace, the ground began to tremble forcefully

looked flustered.

"Let's get in!" Matt could not care less and wanted to rush inside immediately.

Just then, they looked up to the sky and saw a fleet of aircraft zooming toward

Underground Palace.

The satellites and the main planets were not far away from this place. They could easily

rush to the scene in three hours.

It was such a serious matter concerning Dragon Bone and Phoenix Bone that the

patriarch of the Pierce family had to intervene in person. All the other influential forces. also rushed to Underground Palace in their respective aircraft. Alcoholic looked from somewhere outside Underground Palace. "Tsk tsk, this fellow has brought so many people with him."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The brown dog barked excitedly and tugged at Alcoholic's tattered trousers, urging him.

to hurry up.

"Okay, okay. I'll go now. Damn it. My trousers are already torn. If you continued to bite

them, I'll have nothing to wear." Alcoholic gave the dog a kick and hung his wine bottle around his waist, his sword sticking out from his back.

At that moment, he looked a lot more somber. Smiling, he mused, "It's been a long time since we met. I have to say hello to my old friends."
