Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

In the Xuan Yun Treasure Hall, Xiao Long's true form spat out the statue, which rolled a few times before stopping in the corner.

After being ravaged by Xiao Long, the statue was covered in pits and dents on its head, arms, and legs, all scorched by the Aurora Flame. The colors in its pupils were almost gone, leaving it barely alive.

"I have a few questions for you. You'd better answer honestly. If I find out you're lying, I'll burn you to ashes," Xiao Long said sternly. "Stand up straight!"

"Swish!" The statue immediately stood up.

"Good!" Xiao Long nodded in satisfaction.

"First question, are you the Barbarian Sovereign? If yes, shake once; if no, shake twice."

"Buzz!" The statue vibrated once.

"Second question!" Xiao Long continued, "After entering the ruins, should we head north through the forest?"

"Buzz!" The statue vibrated once.

"Third question." Xiao Long pondered for a moment before continuing, "Are there any dangers within these ruins, like traps or ancient beasts?"

This time, the statue didn't move.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Long asked coldly.

After a moment, the statue shook three times from side to side, a look of confusion flashing in its pupils.
