Bab 157: The Mystical Stone

"Is it possible that this thing belongs to the barbarians’ ancestors?" Shi Mu murmured to himself as he gazed at the black piece of statue.

He then looked towards the surrounding woods; a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes. He strode forward towards the left. He brushed his way through thistles, thorns, and thick patches of grasses. He soon arrived before a large piece of the statue.

It seemed to be the upper part of the statue. It lay obliquely on the ground amid dense bushes.

Shi Mu didn’t identify these parts to be belonging to an animal or a bird. It rather seemed to be a sculpture of a strange monster; it was half-human and half-beast. There were two long ears at the top of its head. Its canine teeth protruded out of its mouth. In fact, these features somewhat illustrated the image of a werewolf.
