The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1617

Ring…

Alex felt an extremely pressuring force on his body as soon as he entered. It felt similar to when they were passing the water-like door in Caesar’s tomb, but it also seemed more complicated than that. He felt as if his body had fallen into a blender, where his entire body was being squeezed tightly by some hard substance. It was just way too suffocating.

As soon as he hopped in, Alex tried releasing his spiritual conscience to feel the power of space within this transportation circle. However, his little spiritual conscience was crushed brutally the second after he released it.

‘Looks like my powers are still not strong enough!’

Within one breath, Alex’s body felt light as he passed through the teleportation circle, landing on the ground safely.

What met his eyes was an insanely large head.

It was a head carved out of stone, which was as large as a building, laying on its side. Standing before this statue made him feel like he was a tiny mouse in front of a large elephant. Even the eyes were ten times bigger than his size.

Just as he was still in shock, Luna and Jasmine emerged as well.

Luna let out a sigh of relief. Jasmine, on the other hand, was experienced in this.

When she noticed Alex’s expression, she explained. “This is the goddess’ statue, the head is over here while her body is over there. It’s very huge and no one knows who carved it. It’s an ancient statue after all.”

Luna took a few steps back and looked at the statue again. “It’s a woman?”

Jasmine nodded. “Yep, we Floral Valley have researched this statue before, we assume that this is the statue of the goddess to the natives who live here in Spiritual Valley Dungeon. It’s called the Guardian Goddess, so it’s probably the goddess that they used to worship. The natives here probably worshipped nature a lot.”

Alex asked. “Where are the natives now? Are there any other people here?”

Jasmine shook her head. “We haven’t seen anyone else, so I guess they migrated. Just look at the statue, it looks ancient. My master said that it had existed for at least thousands of years. So it’s probably a relic from the Stone Age.”

Alex decided to make a sarcastic remark. “If we can somehow bring this out of here, it would surely be sold for a great price.”

Luna rolled her eyes. “Is money all you think about, huh?”

Alex smiled and scanned his surroundings, only then did he realise that this was a city in the mountains.

A while ago, Alcina didn’t mention any of this, she probably only wanted to repay Alex for giving her another seven tokens.

‘This old lady sure is calculative!’ Although he was thinking of that, Alex obviously didn’t say it out loud. Instead he thanked her lightly and asked Jasmine, “Where do we go if I’d like to find Dragon Blood Vines?”

Jasmine pointed towards the west.

Alex nodded then turned to Alcina. “Master Bela, which path will you guys be taking?”

Alcina replied. “We have to take the one Hygieia Valley uses normally to find those. I vaguely remember that Dominique moved the vines to a canyon somewhere, I think it’s around this area.”

She then pointed to an area on Alex’s map.

“But we’re going to take the road we Floral Valley usually use, there are resting stands that we set up along the way. But I’m not sure if there’s any along the Hygieia Valley one.”

After saying this, Alcina proceeded to warn Jasmine to be careful.
