In an instant, a shield shining with sacred light appeared in front of Beiming Xuanwu, protecting him tightly inside.

However, something he didn't expect happened. Just as the golden hoop was about to hit the shield, it broke easily.

The golden cudgel was like a golden lightning, smashing hard into Bei Ming Xuan Wu's body.

Bei Ming Xuan Wu was shocked, but he still endured the pain and quickly retreated.

At the same time, Chihuang Zhuque keenly noticed that there were obvious signs of cracks on the armor on Beiming Xuanwu's body.

But she wisely chose to remain silent and did not tell anyone else about it.

Bei Ming Xuan Wu pretended to be calm and said casually: "What happened? I thought this stick was so powerful, but it turns out it's still as painless as before."

Hearing Bei Ming Xuan Wu's boastful words, Cress couldn't help but feel confused.

He looked down at the golden cudgel in his hand and said to himself, "Is it really useless?"

He muttered to himself and began to doubt the power of the golden cudgel.

Just as he was hesitating whether to adjust the power of the golden hoop to level five, suddenly, the big snake broke away from the golden hoop and wrapped around Cress's arm.

"No, if you adjust it to level five I won't fuse."

The snake said seriously, a hint of worry in his tone.

It knew clearly that increasing the power to fifth gear would be too risky for Kress and might endanger his life.

After all, if Cress died here, no one would be able to take him out of this place and see the vast world outside.

"Go back quickly!" Cress urged anxiously.

However, Orochi shook his head and refused, knowing that the fifth gear would cause too much damage to Cress.

"No." The snake replied firmly.

Cress nodded helplessly, trying to appease the snake: "Okay, I won't adjust it to fifth gear, okay?"

After hearing these words, the big snake finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the golden cudgel with satisfaction.

At this moment, Cress was ready to launch another attack, targeting the two divine beasts.

However, Bei Ming Xuan Wu suddenly said that Chloe was calling them, and shouted: "It's not that we don't want to fight you, but someone is calling us, we have to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chihuang Zhuque and Beiming Xuanwu spread their wings and flew high, flying quickly towards the light column.

Seeing this, Kress was anxious and wanted to chase after them to stop them, but at this moment, Arepolis suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground. Kress stopped chasing and hurried to check on Arepolis's injuries.

He asked anxiously: "Arepolis! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Arepolis said weakly, "I'm fine... I was just badly injured by those two guys just now."

Cress frowned and said worriedly, "Damn it! How dare those guys hurt you! When I find them, I will make them pay the price!"

Cress supported the injured Arepolis and said helplessly: "But now we don't have any partners to heal the wounded, it's really difficult..."

Aripolis forced a smile and comforted him, "It's okay, Cress, I can still hold on. Don't worry about me."

Kress looked at Arepolis firmly and said seriously, "No, I can't let you continue like this. We must find a cure as soon as possible."

Cress quickly summoned the giant snake and shouted to it, "Big snake! Take us to the light column and see if there are other companions there. Maybe they can help us."

The snake nodded to show that it understood, and then opened its huge mouth, ready to welcome Cres and Arepolis.

Cress picked up Arepolis, gently placed him on the snake's head, and said softly: "Don't worry, Arepolis, we will reach the light column soon. Hang in there."

The snake quickly took off into the air, carrying the two of them towards the pillar of light. Cress hugged Arepolis tightly, keeping an eye on her condition, hoping to find a way to heal him as soon as possible.

When Cress and Arepolis arrived at the pillar of light, he was surprised to find the stone statue of Z of Bei Ming Xuan Wu.

Cress jumped down holding Arepolis and walked forward to check with a surprised look.

"That's not right. Why is there a stone statue of Bei Ming Xuan Wu here? Looking at the marks of damage on his armor, it must have been caused by me smashing it with my golden hoop." Cress looked at the area around the light column.

This seems to be a magic circle, but I don’t know how to activate it.”

The big snake looked at the stone statue of Bei Ming Xuan Wu and said, "Master, I can feel the residual power of the golden hoop on this stone statue. This must be that guy. How about we smash the stone statue to pieces? This way we can kill him."

Arepolis and Cress were watching how to deal with the stone statue. Cress directly summoned the golden cudgel and said, "Let me smash it to pieces!" He raised his hand and swung the golden cudgel, smashing it towards the stone statue. At this moment, the light pillar reacted.

I saw that huge white beam of light suddenly began to flicker, and the originally bright light became flickering, as if resonating with the golden cudgel.

Then, a low roar came from the light column, the sound became louder and louder, making people's eardrums hurt.

Both Kress and Arepolis were shocked by this sudden change, but they quickly came to their senses.

Cress decided to continue trying to destroy the statue, hoping to prevent this from happening.

However, when he swung the golden cudgel again, he found that he could not shake the stone statue at all. A powerful force came from the stone statue, making the attack of the golden cudgel ineffective.

At the same time, as the flashing of the light column intensified, a green light burst out from the stone statue of Beiming Xuanwu, instantly enveloping the entire space.

Cress and Arepolis only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and then they were swallowed by the green light.

At this moment, a ball of light as black as ink, emitting endless dark aura, rushed towards the two of them at lightning speed.

Arepolis' eyes narrowed, and he quickly pushed Cress away, shouting, "Be careful!"

Cress was pushed to the ground, his eyes wide open, staring at what was happening in front of him in disbelief.

He could only watch as Arepolis' body gradually became stiff, as if being eroded by a mysterious force and slowly turned to stone.

"No!" Cress cried out in despair, but it seemed that everything was irreversible.

As time went by, Arepolis' body finally turned completely into stone. However, what he said at the last moment made Cress' heart sink suddenly: "Tell the master that I, Arepolis, am not a waste. I have tried my best."
