Chapter 1057: Illusion Abyss

“Is it really that simple?” Ice Storm muttered to herself.

However, since Meng Chao had already passed, she would not show any weakness.

Ice Storm took a deep breath, and a thin layer of frost formed around her body. She lowered her breathing, heartbeat, and footsteps to their limits. It was as if she was stepping on snowflakes that were as thin as cicada wings while she silently stepped into the corridor.

Sure enough, the statues on both sides did not move at all, as though they could not sense her existence at all.

Ice Storm really wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

However, she was afraid that the contraction of her throat muscles would trigger the reaction of the statues.

She copied Meng Chao’s actions and slid into the depths of the gallery as gently as possible.

At first, it went very smoothly because right then, she had just crossed three or five statues, and the starting point was still close.

Even if the statues really activated, she would be able to retreat instantly.

That gave her a sense of security that she still had a way out.

Her mind was relaxed, and her steps were naturally smooth.

As she went deeper and deeper into the gallery, though, she had already left the starting point thirty to fifty steps behind her.

If all the terrifying statues around her were to activate at that moment, she would have nowhere to escape.

Realizing this, Ice Storm’s nerves were like a winch with thorns, slowly twisting and tightening.

The statues around her, in particular, were becoming increasingly ferocious, and their bodies were getting bigger and bigger. They were like cliffs that were leaning toward her and about to collapse, and they could bury her at any time.

Many of the statues held large axes and huge swords in their hands, and they were also blocking her way. They forced her to bend her body into strange shapes, squeezing out all the energy from every fiber of her muscles and making her stand on her toes. She only managed to pass through the crisscrossing gaps between the soul-stealing ultimate weapons purely by curling and bouncing her toes.

“Are you kidding me? Why did the Reaper look so relaxed when he walked over just now? It really seemed like he was strolling on the boulevard.”

Ice Storm once again felt like she had been tricked.

Unfortunately, she had already passed through about half of the gallery and could not turn back anymore.

She could only clench her teeth and try her best to control her chaotic thoughts and her muscles that were gradually trembling as she walked through the road of death.

One step, two steps, three steps…

Ice Storm could gradually see Meng Chao’s figure clearly in front of her.

Victory was right in front of her eyes.

However, at that moment, a statue of a barbarian elephant warrior was standing on the road that she had to pass through.

The barbarian elephant warrior was holding two giant axes.

Its long nose, which was full of thorns, pierced through the corridor.

If Ice Storm did not want to touch anything, it could only dive through the extremely narrow space between the giant axe and the long nose in a posture that was similar to a fish leaping forward.

However, with such a large movement, it was difficult for it to not make any sound and maintain its breathing, as well as heartbeat, at a
