Chapter 1619: Chapter 1619

“What is it?”

“Were you not able to tell?”

Concentrating his spiritual energy to his eyes, Alex could see in the dark. However, he noticed that their

surroundings were eerily quiet, Jasmine’ s breathing just sounded slightly heavier than usual.

Luna had woken up too.

“Is something up?” Luna whispered and released her spiritual conscience, but it was to no avail.

Maiko replied. “I did in fact notice something staring at us, it had green eyes. But I couldn’t tell what it

was, it just disappeared in an instant.”

“A demon?” Alex and Luna gasped. They gasped so loudly that they woke Jasmine up as well.

Since it was already uncomfortable to sleep in such a place, she started panicking as soon as she

knew that some demon was watching them right now.

“Wait here, I’ll go look outside.” Alex stood up with the Seven Blades of Death in his hand.

Luna said, “I’ll follow you, else you wouldn’t have backup if it’s a strong opponent.”

Jasmine didn’t dare to stay here alone as well, her face was pale from fear. “I… I’d like to follow you

too.”

In the end, the three of them surveyed the area for quite a while, along with the half ghost king at their

side. Yet they couldn’t find any demons or beasts with green eyes.

Despite this, they were no longer in the mood to sleep.

“I don’t know why, but I keep feeling like something is preying on me in the dark.” Alex frowned. This

was definitely not a pleasant feeling. It even managed to give him goosebumps since he couldn’t find

the cause of this.

“Could it be… A ghost?” Jasmine asked.

“That’s impossible, else I would’ve sensed it long ago.” Maiko said in her chilly voice, sending a chill

down Jasmine’s spine.

She just couldn’t understand why Alex had to have a ghost on him at all times.

“No matter what it is, be careful! We won’t be fazed by losing a few days of sleep, so let’s just not sleep

tonight.” Luna said as she shone her bright flashlight back and forth on the stone wall.

Such a bright flashlight was provided by members of Flora Valley.

When Luna arrived, she basically came empty handed. She didn’t even bring any spare clothes with

her, and no one knew what she was thinking for being so unprepared.

However, Luna suddenly spoke up. “Did you guys realize that the statue in the plaza is super big, yet

the houses feel so cramped? I don’t think people would normally like their houses to be so small, I

could touch the ceiling if I just raised my arm. Not just that, almost all the houses here are this short.

Could everyone living here be shorter than most?”

Jasmine added. “I remember seeing a mural somewhere around here. The carvings of the people here

did look kind of odd, they looked quite short. But that doesn’t mean anything, right? It probably was just

the carver’s mistake. Oh and, the natives here seem to worship hammers, their totems are all

hammers.”

“Hammers? Short? Could they be…” Alex seemed deep in thought.

“Did you think of something?” Luna asked.

“I heard that there’s a race called the dwarves back in the Stone Ages. Their average height is just

around four feet tall. However, they seem to be born to become craftsmen, they could even make

spiritual tools. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but just look at the structure of this city and the

craftsmanship of that goddess statue. I don’t think anyone could just pop out a masterpiece like that.”

Alex replied.

“Dwarves? Is there actually such a race in this world?” The two women were shocked.

“Could that entire race be suffering from Dwarf Disease?”

Since it still felt like they were being followed, Alex still felt uncomfortable staying in that house. Hence,

he decided to leave this place and head to a cruder place within the city. With this, the feeling of being

watched had finally vanished.

The next day, when dawn arrived, the three of them left the city and passed by the plaza with the

statue, leaving through the large city gates.

Starting at the humongous entrance, Alex couldn’t help but exclaim. “These gates are just way too big!”
