He wanted to use his body as a weapon to knock into the statue forcefully, breaking it into pieces.
Boom!
He slammed his body against the statue.
Thud!
The statue collapsed to the floor and shattered into pieces. The dark, negative energy-filled main hall and tunnel became brightly lit again. The negative energy vanished instantly, along with the black shadows.
Skyler and the rest quickly rushed over to check on Jared, only to see him lying on the ground while panting heavily. Meanwhile, shock filled Emiliano's face when he saw the dissipating negative energy.
“Did he really break the core?” Emiliano furrowed his brows as he led his men into the tunnel.
“Are you all right, Mr. Chance?” Skyler asked as she helped Jared up from the ground.
Jared bobbed his head. “Yeah.”
“What's that?” Luol noticed a bright object among the broken fragments of the statue.
Jared looked over. He threw the shattered rocks away and saw that a dried corpse was hidden in the statue. It was a female corpse dressed in ancient clothing. She had a ferocious expression that resembled the statue. It was evident that this corpse had been there for thousands of years.
As for the sparkle that caught Luol's attention, it came from the three green gemstones that were embedded into the corpse's chest. The gemstones were filled with a considerable amount of the world's energy, so after Jared picked it up, he felt an instant relief as the spiritual energy he had used up earlier got replenished instantly.
The others had the same sensation. The earlier battle had left them exhausted. Yet now, they all felt relaxed and calm.
Jared grabbed the gemstone and focused his thoughts on it. Seconds later, a message appeared on the Wordless Tome in his mind.
