Chapter 370: Chapter 249 Ancient Temple and... Abnormality?_2The middle-aged leader didn’t have time to blame the young man; the law would naturally punish him after the descent from the mountain.
He cleared his throat and said, "Attention everyone, we are immediately taking a different route down the mountain."
The top priority was to leave this place at once.
Now that a wild boar had appeared, the predetermined tasks surely could not be done easily.
They had to descend immediately and, once they had a signal, contact the park staff to take care of the broken fence and the wild boar situation.
As for the road where the wild boar had come and gone, it was definitely not going to be revisited lightly.
So, the group, which had already been prepped to
Chen Yun’s gaze was deeply captivated by a fragmented Garuda stone sculpture.
Although he was not as proficient in religious culture as Bai Shi,
he could still easily dredge up the memory of having heard about Garuda once or twice.
Garuda, also known as the Golden Winged Roc,
holds an important position in both Buddhism and Hinduism mythology, symbolizing strength, bravery, and fearlessness.
Despite being eroded by wind and rain, the sculpture’s wings and parts of its body incomplete, the fluid lines and remaining exquisite details still conveyed an awe-inspiring solemnity and majesty.
The head of the Garuda statue was slightly raised, and although its eyes were no longer discernible, the aura of sharpness seemed to pierce through time and strike directly at the heart.
Though wings were not whole, from what remained of the feather carvings, one could still imagine the magnificent sight of it soaring through the skies.
Chen Yun stared at the stone sculpture, and an indescribable emotion arose within him.
The sounds around him seemed to gradually fade away.
In a trance,
Chen Yun felt as if his soul was engaging in some kind of silent dialogue with this ancient stone carving.
This sensation was so foreign yet familiar to him, as if it were touching upon some dust-covered memories or hidden desires deep within his heart.
It was as though something in his mind was on the verge of bursting forth, yet it seemed to vanish like an illusion.
Unconsciously, Chen Yun reached out and touched his chest where his heart had just been racing, which had now completely returned to normal.
Then, he gently touched the cold surface of the stone sculpture.
The chill from his fingertips felt like a touch across time, creating a strange connection with the past in that moment.
Yet, when trying to distinctly capture this feeling,
it was so elusive and hard to articulate.
The hubbub of the surrounding people and Bai Shi’s explanations all seemed to become background noise, as Chen Yun’s thoughts were fully immersed in the peculiar sensations brought about by the Garuda sculpture.
It wasn’t until a drop of rain slid down from a crevice in the ancient temple’s roof tiles, landing on the back of his hand with a hint of coolness, that he abruptly snapped back to reality.
He realized that he had been lost in thought for quite some time.
Looking around, the activities of others seemed to have never ceased, while only he had experienced a personal inner journey in that brief instant.
Chen Yun lightly touched his forehead, somewhat bewildered.
He didn’t know what had just happened.
He only felt an impression of eternity in a single glance after seeing and gazing intently at the Garuda statue, as if time had sped by in that momentary gaze.
However, upon close reflection now,
there seemed to be nothing unusually different or changed in him from head to toe.
It was as if...
Everything that had just happened was merely an illusion?
On this,
Chen Yun was somewhat uncertain.
He bewilderedly touched the Garuda stone sculpture again.
This time, however, he felt nothing.
He bewilderedly released his Transparent World Perception ability at full force.
Everything within a six-hundred-meter radius came clearly into view.
This six-hundred-meter range included not only the circular area with him at the center but also a spherical volume with him at the core.
He could even clearly see six hundred meters down into the soil and rocks underground.
And from this perspective,
everything appeared normal, no different from his usual perceptions.
It was as if...
Everything that had just happened was indeed an illusion.
Only...
Could he still really be susceptible to illusions now?
Chen Yun thought about it and couldn’t help but plant a profound doubt in his heart at this moment.
