Items that even the parser can't analyze?
This is a very rare thing.
Mo Ming squinted, carefully examining the statue in front of him.
Its shape and details gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
The surface of the statue was carved with extreme detail, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power, which made Mo Ming feel a chill down his spine.
"Stone, Manmeng! Go to the warehouse and bring those two minotaurs here." Mo Ming shouted into the courtyard, his mind still racing, trying to recall the origin of the statue.
Manmeng and Shitou left as instructed, and not long after, Hawkes and Luo Pei were brought before Mo Ming.
The two men, heads bowed, looked disheveled and extremely uneasy. Mo Ming, expressionless, slowly asked, "Do you recognize this statue?"
Hawkes and Lopez slowly raised their heads, and when they saw the statue, their eyes were filled with horror and confusion.
Luo Pei's voice trembled, filled with fear: "You...you got this from...?"
Mo Ming did not answer, but instead looked at Hawkes, who was equally terrified.
Hawkes' face was pale, his lips trembling slightly as he struggled to find the words, "Kill...kill the...Buddha boss!!!"
He finally stammered out those words, his voice filled with immense fear.
Mo Ming was filled with disbelief. He quickly turned his head to look at the strange statue, and a memory finally flashed through his mind.
He remembered where he had seen it before.
It happened at the auction. When he placed the bronze base of the Heaven-Refining Cauldron he had won on the bronze workbench, a strange Buddha statue appeared inside the Heaven-Refining Cauldron.
Now that I think about it, isn't that exactly it? It looks exactly the same.
Killing Heart Buddha is one of the twelve great bosses of the Endless Abyss, the leader of all orcs, and also has a mysterious Emperor Crocodile under his command.
Mo Ming recalled all the information about the Killing Heart Buddha. He knew that since this statue was related to the Killing Heart Buddha, it was definitely not simple.
"What's the purpose of this statue?"
Mo Ming spoke again, not believing that Asya would place such a statue of a big boss in his treasure vault for no reason.
Simple reverence? Don't be ridiculous, Mo Ming doesn't believe it.
Lope was in a state of extreme panic, having almost lost the ability to speak; fear had filled its mind and body.
Hawkes was also terrified, but his reaction was slightly better than Lope's.
"You got this statue from Boss Asya, didn't you? I don't know how you got it, but you'd better return it, or you'll experience unprecedented fear."
Hawkes’ voice carried a hint of warning, clearly indicating that he was not making things up.
Mo Ming looked at him coldly, but secretly pondered in his heart.
Hawkes didn't seem to be trying to fool him, but he certainly wouldn't return the statue just because of that one sentence.
"Answer my question!" Mo Ming's tone became even more stern.
Hawkes took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down, and finally spoke: "When Boss Asya was drunk, I heard him say that the Killing Heart Buddha, as a reward for our Minotaur race, bestowed upon us a statue of himself."
This statue contains special energy, which Asya absorbs during his cultivation, greatly strengthening his body.
Moreover, at crucial moments, it seems possible to activate the statue through some special means, summoning a portion of the killer Buddha's will to possess the statue.
Mo Ming was shocked. This statue could actually summon the will of the Killing Heart Buddha in the endless abyss.
Wouldn't that be equivalent to a clone in a novel? Possessing a portion of the original's power? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of tension.
"Does every orc have one of these statues?"
This issue is crucial for Mo Ming; if Romani and Vista also have statues of the Buddha of Killing Hearts, then things will be in trouble.
"No, Boss Asya said that there are only three statues of the Killing Heart Buddha, which were awarded to three tribes with outstanding achievements."
"Our Minotaur race is prominently featured here." Hawkes' voice carried a hint of helplessness.
The pride and greatness of the Minotaur race in the past are now irrelevant to it; it is now nothing more than a prisoner.
"Which two tribes or clans are the other two located in?"
“One is in the Tiger-Headed People’s Tribe, and the other is in the Eagle-Faced People’s Tribe,” Hawkes replied, his voice trembling slightly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least for now, he was not in dire straits.
"What kind of achievements did your Minotaur clan have to obtain this statue?" Mo Ming continued to ask, wanting to know more background information.
Hawkes hesitated for a moment, as if recalling something: "That was many years ago. Boss Asya performed exceptionally well in a battle, and the Killing Heart Buddha boss bestowed this statue upon him as a reward."
The leader of Asya was overjoyed, seeing it as recognition of its strength, and from then on regarded the statue as the clan's most prized possession.
"So, you've been using the power of this statue all along?" Mo Ming asked, his curiosity about the statue's purpose growing.
“Yes, Boss Asya absorbs the energy from the statue every time he cultivates to enhance his strength.” Hawkes’ voice was tinged with awe.
Mo Ming pondered to himself, no wonder that Vista, who was also at the Crimson Purple level, was constantly suppressed by Asya, it was probably related to this statue.
With things having come to this point, Mo Ming made an important decision: this statue absolutely cannot be kept!
So Mo Ming raised his sword and slashed at the statue with all his might.
boom!
The sword snapped in two, but the Buddha statue remained unharmed.
"It's useless. This is essentially an avatar of the killer Buddha, the ultimate boss. Even though its will hasn't possessed me, how could you possibly destroy it with a single sword strike? Hahahaha..."
Seeing Mo Ming's actions, Hawkes suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hmph! You think you can't cut through it? Take another look at this sword strike I'm about to unleash..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze demon-suppressing sword appeared in Mo Ming's hand. Mo Ming straddled the stance, took a deep breath, and assumed the starting posture of the three forms of breaking the formation.
Calm his mind and focus all his attention on the Demon-Suppressing Sword, then slashed out with the sword, striking the statue heavily.
Crackling sound...
The Demon-Slaying Sword slashed into its body from the shoulder, and then the Buddha of Killing Hearts statue shattered!
It turned into pieces of gravel, then turned into ashes under Mo Ming's watchful gaze, and finally vanished into the air.
Hawkes was completely terrified by this scene. He never dreamed that this human could shatter the statue of the Killing Buddha boss with a single sword strike.
At this moment, it is an endless abyss.
"Aaaaaah... Who? Who destroyed my golem? I'll tear it to pieces..."
