Julius Reed suspected that his current surroundings were likely the interior of the temple.
The real interior of the temple.
Inside the statue wrapped in gold, there was nothing.
It seemed empty, but when Julius Reed harnessed the power of the Green Snake and entered the interior of the statue.
He discovered a new world.
The design of dry, shriveled people and mechanisms inside was very clever.
No matter how Julius Reed tried to stop it, he couldn't interfere with the process.
So, he had to go inside and take a look.
To see what was really going on in there.
These shriveled people were very similar to those he had seen at the Dusty Platform.
Yet there were still differences.
As he walked by, neither the Green Snake nor the White Tiger showed any abnormalities, and the shriveled people didn't do anything to Julius Reed.
All was calm.
When he reached a pitch-black area, a door appeared in front of him.
The lights dimmed as well.
