"What's going on?"
Feeling the inexplicable smell from the statue, both the Elder and the Middle-aged Priest frowned.
"Not good!"
The next moment, both their complexions changed simultaneously, as they realized something.
They quickly moved behind the statue and searched for a moment before swiftly opening a hidden switch, revealing a metal box.
The box was specially made, likely crafted from a unique material. Many runes adorned its surface, representing some mysterious meaning.
They opened the box, revealing the contents inside.
It was a black, long worm with an ominous appearance and incredibly terrifying. Numerous legs grew from its body.
However, at this moment, the worm was already dead. Its greenish liquid filled the entire box, and a hideous smell couldn't be masked.
"It's dead!"
Looking at this scene, both the Middle-aged Priest and the Elder's faces turned pale.
"How could this happen?"
